Hangar One
The industrious goblins of Shekkek, the capital city of the nation known as the Ghukliak Kleptocratic Federation (GKF), devised a plan to create an airport from which they would launch a fleet of hot-air-filled zeppelins that would transport passengers and cargo across the Empire, and one day, connect all parts of the globe.
Building construction has always been a tricky business for the goblins of the GKF because they were all religiously illiterate. All measurements have to be done in their heads and then memorized. Their attempt at their first hangar was a monumental task, involving hundreds of calculations and hundreds of thousands of building components, including thousands of large sheets of metal for the outer walls of the structure. The building effort took more than a year, involving thousands of goblins, organized into teams, all working in concert with one another to clear one hundred acres of land, establish a foundation, assemble framing, raise the framing, then lay down the roof, then add doors, and finally apply the outer walls.
The first hangar, appropriately named "Hangar One", was the first building of its kind the goblins had ever attempted to construct. It was expected to be only a temporary structure, until they could refine their efforts, and then hopefully their second structure would be better-constructed than the initial one.
Hangar One was a smashing success. Not only has it stood for more than a century, not only has it withstood straightline winds, storms and tornados, but it has became the template by which dozens of subsequent hangars have been designed and constructed. The gargantuan field of hangars is truly a testament to the goblins' engineering acumen, memory capacity, and teamwork abilities. No one in the world has achieved such engineering marvels, especially without using a single written word.
