"Ding dong! Ding dong!"
"Woo!"
A railway track runs all the way from the interior of Tephes City, leading directly to the distance. The straight railway track follows the horizon until it disappears at the end of the sky, while a steam locomotive carrying more than a dozen carriages passes through the distance. After crossing the railway track, we arrived at the station in Tephes City.
This is a steam locomotive, and the railway under its feet is the first railway to appear in Maria's world. It was built from the city of Tephes, the city of alchemists, to the capital Fennlit City.
The use of steam engines has been widely used in the Sheen City-State Alliance, and the emergence of magical steam engines and metal-activated steam engines has brought the originally developing and advancing Sheen City-State Alliance into a situation that even Lu Zhiyu could not have expected. The future and the distance.
"The steam locomotive has arrived. Let's get on it. It only takes two days for us to reach Fennleit!" A chubby middle-aged woman held her three children and kept crowding towards the front. The station was crowded with people. , the steam locomotive, a convenient tool, has been supported by most people in the Sheen City-State Alliance.
"Inspection. Everyone who gets on the bus must go through inspection. Guards, pay attention!"
"You have to buy a ticket to get on the bus, otherwise you can't get on the bus!"
Everyone carrying large and small bags boarded the steam locomotive amidst the jostling and crowding. At both ends of the station, there were a large number of guards wearing coats and carrying long guns. There were also station staff inside to maintain order. personnel.
Lu Zhiyu stood on the platform of the station, looking at the steam locomotive with a complicated expression. People from the Sheen City-State Alliance called it a steam locomotive, but Lu Zhiyu was more accustomed to calling it a train. For Lu Zhiyu, Said, steam locomotive has a special meaning.
When Lu Zhiyu saw this ugly and black steam locomotive that looked like an outdated model, emitting billowing black smoke, Lu Zhiyu suddenly remembered his childhood. A scene of traveling far away with my parents.
"What a long-lasting memory! How long has it been since?"
"Hundreds of years? Still?"
Lu Zhiyu looked at this steam locomotive and remembered the first time he took a train. At that time, he was just like the children around him, excited and excited. He looked at the world that kept receding outside the window, his eyes shining with light.
The appearance of steam locomotives, for Lu Zhiyu, seemed to feel that Maria's world was constantly moving towards the world he was familiar with. This world seemed to become more and more familiar in Lu Zhiyu's eyes, constantly moving towards The world he was familiar with and imagined was moving forward, but what the future would be like, Lu Zhiyu still couldn't guess.
"The tickets are checked!"
"Everyone, hold your tickets in hand!"
The steam locomotive set off. With thick smoke coming out of the top and a shrill whistle, the steam locomotive slowly accelerated as it knelt down and headed towards Fennlit. Lu Zhiyu was riding on the steam locomotive.
The steam locomotive appeared more than ten years ago. At first, it was transformed by alchemists through the mine car, and the mine car was manufactured for mining and transporting ore. Later, it was used to transport some goods, until the world's first railway was built at our feet. Only after the opening of the railway did it truly appear before the eyes of ordinary people in Alan Continent.
“It feels different from the train I imagined!”
"Metal activated steam engine?"
Lu Zhiyu observed this steam locomotive and found that the most special thing was that this car seemed to use the theory of alchemical life. The metal-activated steam engine was a metal version of the heart. The steam engine has been improved from generation to generation, plus demonization Due to the special nature of the steam engine, the steam engine seemed to have a taste that was beyond Lu Zhiyu's original imagination.
It can be seen that the entire steam locomotive is under the control of an alchemist. The internal steam engine can obey the alchemist's control like life, controlling the internal pressure, power, and steam condensation. The acceleration and deceleration of the steam locomotive can be easily and accurately controlled. .
This is simply a prototype of alchemical life with a metal activation steam engine as the core. After the alchemist invented the magical steam engine, he embarked on the path of exploring alchemical life and went further and further.
The magic steam engine is more special than the metal activation steam engine. It is a steam engine that incorporates extraordinary power and deified cells. It can be seen in the hands of some high-level alchemists, especially the alchemy doll of Marina Bosse. The alchemy submarines of Kermund and the fish-man alchemist Bobby are the most famous.
"How's it going? Doesn't it feel amazing?" A middle-aged man in his forties with a mustache sitting opposite Lu Zhiyu saw Lu Zhiyu leaning out of the window and looking forward. Go and ask immediately.
Lu Zhiyu nodded. He was an alchemist, a second-level alchemist. Among alchemists, he was a relatively high-status being: "It feels amazing to be able to make such a big car." The iron train is moving."
The middle-aged alchemist showed a smile on his face: "All this is the credit of Ms. Marina and Mr. Lars Brown. Mr. Brown invented the steam engine and pointed the direction for us alchemists. Ms. Marina transformed the metal activation The steam engine and the magical steam engine have taken us completely into the future.”
"In the future, we will use metal to activate steam engines to create alchemical products that are beyond everyone's imagination and will change the entire world."
"Can you imagine? We can put the magic steam engine on the airship and create an airship that can truly travel far away, or even an iron battleship flying in the sky, as well as the city of gods mentioned in the artist Lal's painting —City in the Sky is not impossible to realize in the future.”
"We are miniaturizing the activated steam engine and want to create a small steam locomotive that can be used by families and individuals. It will completely replace horse-drawn carriages, just like ordinary steam engines replaced human power."
"If we can transform the metal activation steam engine into a smaller one, making it completely automated, we can even create a variety of unimaginable small alchemy props, as well as a magical steam engine. Have you heard about Ms. Marina's friend? Mr. Kermond? That is a real miracle, a real alchemical life."
Lu Zhiyu listened quietly to what he said, and put forward some opinions and ideas in the middle. The middle-aged alchemist was so shocked by Lu Zhiyu's erudition that he even wrote down some of Lu Zhiyu's ideas and opinions on the spot.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Woo!"
"We're here, Fennlett Station. This is the last stop. Everyone must get off."
When they were getting off the bus, the middle-aged alchemist who was chatting happily remembered that he had not introduced himself yet: "Hello, Mr. Ilanberry, my name is Robert Evelyn!"
Then Robert shrugged and pointed to the steam locomotive: "This steam locomotive and the railway under my feet were designed by me."
Fennlit City is the capital of the Sheen City-State Alliance. It is a contemporary real metropolis with tall buildings and an endless stream of carriages coming and going. It even takes several minutes to cross the wide road. There are many crossroads. Tall artist statue.
Most of the passers-by were wearing new simple clothes and top hats, and looked elegant. Many people along the way were holding newspapers and reading. The reading and literacy rate reached the forefront of the world.
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers!"
"Emperor Sethis I of the Psut Empire was summoned by the God of Death, entered the kingdom of gods, and passed away from this world!"
"Selling newspapers! Major changes have occurred in the Pusut Empire, and the dynasty has changed!"
"The throne of the Supt Empire will be taken over by Setisis II, and the new emperor will have a coronation ceremony on the Day of the Dead."
Lu Zhiyu heard the news as soon as he walked out of the station. Unexpectedly, just after the harvest goddess Bernice ascended to the throne, Sethis had already gone to the underworld. He would take over the position of deputy king of the death underworld, plus Del Medi also has a careless temper. From now on, the underworld will basically be taken care of by Setisis. Lu Zhiyu is very much looking forward to what kind of underworld Setisis will build. 8)
