Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 10 Messenger road

The railway between Jiehe City and Shanhaiguan has just been completed and opened to traffic, and it is only a single lane.

In order to connect the borders of Xia State with the hinterland of Xia State, Li Jie of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering plans to build a single lane first after seeking Yang Song’s approval, and then slowly add another lane later.

The way for Changsun Sheng and Benedict Keogh to enter Zhongjing on this trip was to take a train. In addition to being convenient and quick, it was also to let the foreign envoys feel the power of Xia.

The carriage of carriages drove into the railway station in the south of Boundary River City. Benedict Keogh looked at this castle, which was obviously not the residence of Emperor Xia, and Benedict Keogh secretly assessed: “Could this tall building be used? Where do you come for the negotiation?”

“Your Excellency, please!” Changsun Sheng stretched out his hand and said, “Next, we will take the train to our country, Zhongjing, and we expect to arrive tonight.”

“Train? What kind of car is that? It’s here tonight, is it so close?” Although Benedict Keogh was full of doubts, he was not easy to ask the exit at this time, so he could only follow Changsun Sheng into the train station.

In order to welcome the envoys of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, Xia Guo specially arranged a train carriage to house the envoys. At this time when the transportation capacity is extremely tight, it is commendable that Xia Guo can arrange a carriage for the envoy of the ice kingdom.

As for arranging a special train for the missions alone? This is impossible. At present, the entire Xia State can use special trains, except for the Kaijun train, and only Emperor Yang Song has this qualification.

In fact, this train was originally a train to Zhongjing. If it weren’t for waiting for the envoy of the Snow Kingdom, this train would have departed ten minutes ago.

Chang Sun Sheng also knew this, so just after Benedict Keo and his party got off the boat, they immediately took the envoy to the train station. Unexpectedly, it was ten minutes late to hurry up, which made Chang Sun Sheng. I feel a little sorry for the people who take this train.

Because of the ten minutes late, when Benedict Keogh and his party arrived at the train station, they didn’t find many people. Otherwise, the Jiehecheng train station was very lively more than ten minutes ago.

As soon as the envoys of the Snow Kingdom boarded the train, the train started slowly after sounding a loud whistle.

Benedict Keogh thought he had walked into a room with a strange layout, but he didn’t expect this “room” to move in the next moment.

“What’s the matter? What’s going on?” Benedict Keogh was a little unsteady, he held the back of the carriage and looked around in panic.

Changsun Shengqiang suppressed the smile in his belly and calmed down: “Your messenger, don’t panic. It’s just that the train is moving. It’s accelerating at this time. You must stand firm.”

Hearing this, Benedict Keogh saw through the window of the “room” that the scene outside the window was really slowly receding from the corner of his eye.

The speed of the train slowly increased to a maximum of 60 kilometers per hour, but Benedict Keogh, who had been looking out the window, couldn’t calm down.

In the end Benedict Keogh couldn’t help it, and asked Changsun Sheng: “Ge… Your Excellency, what kind of car is this… Why is it so big? What kind of livestock is pulling? And the sound of steel collision. What’s the matter again? And…”

“Wait!” Seeing Benedict Keogh who finally couldn’t help asking, Changsun Sheng had an unstoppable posture as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn’t care to be rude, and hurriedly interrupted Benedict Keogh’s question.

But it’s no wonder that Changsun Sheng can also understand that for primitive civilizations that have never been exposed to such magical things as trains, the magic of technology and machinery can’t be figured out. For Benedict Keogh, who is now riding on a train, this is even more difficult to understand.

“Your Excellency, this is the train I’m waiting for.” After Benedict Keogh calmed down, Changsun Sheng explained one by one: “The high speed of this car was not caused by some kind of livestock, but It is propelled by the power of steam, and the officials do not know the details. As for these sounds, the wheels and rails of the train are moving…”

Chang Sun Sheng gave a selective and general explanation of the train. As for the principle, he didn’t know it, but couldn’t say it.

After listening to Changsun Sheng’s explanation, Benedict Keogh became even more puzzled. What is the power of steam? Why does steam still have this power?

However, after the office arrived at Chang Sun Sheng’s remarks, he couldn’t continue to ask questions anymore. Benedict Keogh could only hide his doubts in his heart so that they could be solved in the future.

Benedict Keogh sat in front of the train window, looking at the blurry scene roaring near outside the window, imagining how fast the train was.

Chang Sun Sheng saw Benedict Keogh who was fascinated by the window, looked at the closed car window, thought about it, and suggested: “My Excellency, there will be another feeling after the window is opened.”

Benedict Keogh regained his senses when he heard Changsun Sheng’s words, and his heart moved, but his hand just reached out and stopped in mid-air, because he didn’t know how to open this window, and only then did he find out There is a layer of completely transparent objects on the windows that seem to be empty.

“Is this the glass produced by Xia Guo?” Although Benedict Keogh knew that Xia Guo sold this kind of glass, it was the first time he had come into contact with it.

The hand that was parked in the air touched the car window. Benedict Keogh felt a smooth touch that he had never felt before, and could not help but gently stroked the car window twice.

Seeing this, Chang Sun Sheng, who was sitting opposite Benedict Keogh, got up and stretched out his hand to lift the car window. In a moment, a gust of wind blew in, causing the curtains of the car to swing continuously.

And Benedict Keogh saw Changsun Sheng open the car window, and then felt a steady stream of romance. With years of combat experience, he could be sure that this speed was obviously similar to that of wildebeest running wildly.

It’s just that the maximum speed of the wildebeest can only be maintained for a period of time, but the speed of this train has always been so fast, and it is so big, can carry so many people, the two are simply not comparable.

Looking out the window and looking ahead, Benedict Keogh suddenly saw a turn ahead, and he also saw part of the train.

Sure enough, there is no livestock pulling in the front of the black-smoky front of the car. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com’s “clam and clam” sounds have the same rhythm as the huge wheels of the black-smoky front of the car…

Unknowingly, a few hours passed, the train did not stop, and it was still driving at high speed. Benedict Keogh felt very miraculous.

A few more hours later, the speed of the train finally slowed down slowly. Before Benedict Keogh could ask, Changsun Sheng immediately explained: “Look at the time, the train should be in Yongsheng City. I will stay for an hour again, and then your envoy can get out of the car and rest for a while.”

Benedict Keogh stood up to countless questions in his mind, and replied: “It’s all up to you.”

What he has seen and heard so far on the road made Benedict Keogh feel extremely shocked. Although it was only a few short hours, the scene outside the train taught him a lesson. Tell him what a miracle is!

The steel bridge over the river, the tunnel under the mountain, the construction sites that can be seen from time to time in the wilderness… For him, for the entire indigenous civilization, these are all miracles!

It is precisely because of this that Benedict Keogh has a personal experience of Xia Guo’s strength, and he also knows that as long as he is supported by Xia Guo on this trip, the Ice and Snow Kingdom will definitely turn defeat into victory!

As the train slowly stopped into the platform of Yongsheng City, a lot of people suddenly appeared on the platform, and Benedict Keogh realized that the train was more than just them.

Although he knew that this train was not only as long as the car he had seen, no matter how much Benedict Keogh overestimated this so-called train, in the end he found that he was far underestimated.
