Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 243: set off

After listening to Nora's comfort, Lawrence didn't feel that he relaxed much. After all, walking like Conan is already considered the top level of the broom star, even if it is better than this, it is not something to celebrate.

"But to be honest, I do look like the protagonist of the story, otherwise it is impossible to encounter so many problems from the beginning to the present." Lawrence took the letter from the torn cover and complained inwardly. So, after all, he has encountered so many things in only a few months from the time he traveled to the present, almost as good as the experience of a normal transcendent in a few years.

"But considering that all the extraordinary events that I have encountered can be summed up as Daguai upgrades, I know that if I really are the protagonist of the story, I must have come from a certain street-smashing work, otherwise this experience will not look like this. Monotonous. The only thing I hope now is that if my experience is really a book, it will definitely not be the kind of abuse of the host, it is better to be the kind of strong and invincible YY. I really don't mind lying and winning.

By thinking about these messy things in his mind, Lawrence finally calmed down and opened the letter that didn't look very flat, only to find that there were only a few lines in the letter.

"What did your father write in the letter?" Syfiel looked at Lawrence and asked slightly nervously. "Mr. Lambert, there is no major problem, right?"

"I don't know." Lawrence felt even more confused after reading the letter. "He only asked me to rush home as soon as possible and said that there was an important thing that he wanted to find me, but the letter didn't say exactly what happened, just let me return as soon as possible."

"Then let's go back quickly." Said Safir took off the picture that Shumei had just drawn and stuffed it into his bag, and then said to Lawrence. "After going down the mountain, we went to the hot spring hotel to pick up our luggage and immediately went to the train station to see when we could get the earliest tickets."

Because of course before, they wanted to take the train home directly after turning around, so in order to save time, they had a farewell dinner with Zhu Yan and the others and brought their luggage with them. This approach is obviously much more convenient now.

Lawrence and the others chose a place with no one to let the little doll Nara take the two of them quickly down the mountain, and then after picking up the luggage in the hot spring hotel, they directly got on the carriage and went straight to the east train station in New Kuaiji.

But they didn’t have the luck of the last time this time. After asking at the ticket window, they learned that the nearest train to the city near the town in their hometown was the two tickets they had booked before, and the other trains. Either you need to wait a longer time, or you need to spend a lot of time reversing.

"If you can afford it, you can try an airship. This type of airship that flies on international routes has a pressurized cabin and a magic engine. When crossing large mountains, it can fly more than 12,000 meters and avoid most of it. Dangerous and extraordinary monster. It's really not that dangerous, and it's much faster than the train." Looking at Lawrence and Syfiel who looked worried, a lady of etiquette in a red dress walked over and said to them, by the way Handed them a leaflet.

After opening this leaflet, Syfier immediately leaned over and watched the content on this list with him. The background at the bottom of the list was printed with a huge cigar-shaped airship, and the text above except for some advertisements and specific information about ships. In addition to the description of the data, the location of the airship factory and an airship timetable are also attached at the end.

"What's written on this?" Saifei, who can speak but can't write in Sinian, looked at Lawrence and said nothing at the list in his hand, so he looked a little anxious and asked.

"This is the size and basic performance of the airship." Lawrence read to Syfiel with this list. "The timetable above shows that the airship we are going to take will arrive in the city at 1 am. After filling some supplies here and boarding and disembarking passengers, the airship will take off at 2:30 am."

"From here to Missoula, the nearest city to our hometown, only takes 76 hours, which is more than twice the speed of the train. After arriving in Missoula, we only need to take a five-hour train to get home. "

"Sit on this airship, let's set off now!" After hearing Lawrence read out the contents of the advertisement, Syfiel made a decision immediately. "Uncle Lambert can use this method to write to you. It must be an urgent matter to find you, so don't use slow transportation at this time. This is not the time to distress money."

"You're right." Lawrence nodded in agreement, and then took a carriage to the airship station with Syfiel. Perhaps because riding in an airship is a relatively extravagant behavior in this era, there is a carriage that goes directly to the airship station for free at the railway station. The carriage also provides snacks and various promotional materials related to the airship.

More than 40 minutes later, the carriage came to the door of the airship station. When they got out of the car, they saw several huge airship garages and a silver-white airship floating in the air. After following the flow of people into the waiting hall, Lawrence quickly went to the ticket office to check in.

The fare for the international airship that Lawrence will take is very expensive. Lawrence spent 10 times the price of the first-class cabin on the previous train to buy an ordinary airship cabin with two beds. According to the content shown on the ticket, this is a pocket-sized cabin with only six square meters and a bathroom shared with more than a dozen people.

Fortunately, the people who can ride the airship are not considered ordinary people, plus expensive ferry tickets. Therefore, the overall level of the waiting room is very good, not much worse than the first-class waiting room of the previous train.

"Is there any document about the airship we are going to take here?" After drinking a cup of tea, Safir pulled La Lawrence's arm and pointed to a pile of magazines on the shelf next to him. "I'm curious about what the airship we are going to take?"

"It seems that most of the books here are related to airships." Lawrence said after reading the books on the shelf. In fact, he was also very curious about airships in this world. After all, in the world of his last life, passenger airships were eliminated by planes very early. He just saw some photos of these behemoths and a few rare images.

After searching for more than ten seconds on the bookshelf, Lawrence found a book introducing the airship they were about to take, and read it quietly, while Syfiel leaned quietly on his shoulder as he did when he was a child. Listen.

"The Plydwin airship uses a lightweight alloy obtained through alchemy as the frame material~lightnovelpub.net~ The airbags of the hull are made of enchanted cotton cloth, a special product of Sinian West, and the outermost layer is also covered with the same Excellent enchanting lightweight alloy armor."

"In addition, the airship is equipped with a variety of guns, small-caliber cannons and six main cannons for self-defense. At the same time, there are also two elite teams of extraordinary people on board to provide passengers with protection anytime and anywhere."

"And what we are most proud of is the secret energy core installed on the airship, which can provide sufficient energy for the entire ship uninterrupted for 15 years. In particular, it drives the six magic lift engines and The four magic thrust engines allow this airship to climb to an altitude of 12,000 meters and fly quickly, avoiding most evil and extraordinary creatures. At the same time, the surging magic power can also provide a sufficiently powerful magic shield for the airship."

"This airship is the crystallization of the labor and wisdom of all intelligent creatures involved in the construction, and represents the power of the Republic of New South Wales. We believe that this airship represents the future of this planet's transportation industry."

"Sure enough, this era of rapid progress did not appear in a vacuum." After reading the last piece of airship-related content in the book, Lawrence closed the book and thought, "I think the reason why a civilization can progress is because of these components. Civilized intelligent creatures have the courage to explore the unknown and to innovate."
