The Flash Knight

Chapter 548 London
The sky is filled with gray clouds, and the two sides of the bank are crowded with people. This is the center of the world, London, the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets.

The smoke of the war and the gray smoke column caused by the industrial revolution are still rising here, dyeing the sky and clouds so dense that the sun can't shine down.

During World War I, London was Germany's favorite bombing target, not only because it was the political and cultural center of the empire, but also because it was an important center of gravity for the armed forces.

Fortunately, the war here has come to a late stage, and the German bombing has become a thing of the past, so Lin Li and Diana were fortunate enough to see that Dunlon was preparing for a new round of vitality, and the industrial revolution began rapidly.

The importance of the Industrial Revolution to Britain is self-evident.Without the Industrial Revolution, Britain's vast empire would not have survived.As the capital, London naturally plays the role of the decision-making center in this process of productivity change, social change and world system change. Naturally, at this time, London's role is far more important than other cities in the world, and everyone is watching London, here is the center of the world.

At the same time, it was also because of this victory in the First World War that the once grand, majestic, and proud empire on which the sun never sets was pulled down from the altar, and London, the center of the world, was transferred to New York, USA.

Although Britain won the war and gained new colonies from the war, the huge cost of the war made it impossible for Britain to continue to bear the huge financial expenditure required to maintain an empire.

Millions of people died in Britain, countless assets were destroyed, and the result was high debt, chaos in the capital market, and a lack of British officials in the overseas colonies.At the same time, nationalist sentiment was on the rise in both the old and new colonies, fueled by the entry of the Empire and the strong racism felt by non-white soldiers in the war.

Economically, creditor countries before the war became debtor countries after the war. After the war, the economy was depressed for a long time. The international financial center was also transferred from London, England to New York, USA.

The victory of World War I can be said to have placed a heavy burden on the empire on which the sun never sets, making it no longer able to maintain the prestige of the empire on which the sun never sets.

But these are things in the future, and now before them, the gray smoke is rising, a vigorous, victorious London, a gentleman, and a good-humored British.

"Welcome to London!" Steve smiled, returning to the base camp made him feel relieved, and it was rare for him to have time to welcome two strange visitors.

Birds and gulls sang on the river with his voice.

Behind him is the Thames River, and the unique shape, harmonious structure, and majestic Tower Bridge, which is regarded as a symbol of London and even the whole of Britain.

The most famous tower bridge on the Thames River is the Tower Bridge built in 1894. The two ends of the Tower Bridge are connected by four stone towers. The two main towers are 4 meters high. They are five-story square towers with granite and steel structures. It forms a 2-sided minaret, with a small white minaret built at each of the 40 corners, and the top of the whole tower is like a crown.The bases of the river towers are 5 meters high, solid and thick.The span between the two towers is more than 4 meters, and there are upper and lower passages in the middle, with sports cars on the bottom and pedestrians on the top.When a large ship passes by, the machinery of the main tower pulls up the bridge deck. The two movable bridge decks each weighing 4 tons are 7.6 meters high, forming a wide waterway with a width of 60 meters in the middle.The upper passage is accessible by elevator, and those who are interested can also climb 2 steps.

There are glass on both sides of the channel, and it is really interesting to look down on the rushing Thames River or the beautiful scenery of London on such a high water surface.

The boat passed under the majestic Tower Bridge. Lin Li looked at the historical buildings hundreds of years ago with great interest, and couldn't help but marvel at the creativity of human beings, which often surprised everyone.

All these houses, characters, and huge ships brought freshness to Lin Li and Diana, and attracted them frequently.

What Lin Li felt was a kind of ambition at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Who would have thought that Wanter invented a steam engine, changed the traditional hand-made, and replaced it with a steam engine. In just a hundred years, the progress of science and technology So big, airplanes, cannons, World War II not far away and even atomic bombs were invented.

After looking at it for a while, Diana withdrew her thoughts. The dust in the sky caused by the industrial revolution and the black smoke rising from the chimney of the ship made her feel a little uncomfortable. The environment here was destroyed.

She still remembered that the task of going to Paradise Island was to fight Ares, not to enjoy the scenery.

"Let's go to Ares when we land on land!" Diana held up the God-killing sword enthusiastically, her eyes gleaming. She wanted to kill Ares, stop wars, stop human wars, and prevent Ares from giving to heaven. The island brings war.

"Where are you going to find Ares?" Lin Li asked.

"Where is the fiercest war?" Diana frowned and asked back.

She also doubts whether Ares will be in the place where the war is the most intense, not to mention that there are 10,000+ people, large and small, in the place where the war is the most intense. This is what she heard from Steve. Find?
Lin Li tapped his head with his fingers, signaling her to use her brain. Wisdom can make people think of a way. for farming.

Diana was silent for a while, and Meimou began to think about it. Lin Li's teaching results over the past few years have been outstanding. Diana fully understands that they are looking for Ares in the vast crowd. Human society, knowing about war, sorts out the list of doubts from it, and confirms it.

Ares is the god of war. If he wants to grow his power, he must start a war.

Then instigating a war, he may be a certain high-level person in human society, who has a person who decides the war and influences the direction of the war, and he will definitely not be an unknown soldier.

Diana's beautiful eyes gradually brightened, she looked at Lin Li, then at Steve, and said, "Let's follow Steve to understand the situation first, and we are investigating."

Lin Li nodded. He finally lived up to his teachings. He knew how to use his brain. If he rushed to the fiercest part of the war like a blind man, he probably wouldn't know how to find Ares, unless he was really lucky, or Ares was brain-dead himself. Run out, otherwise, if you want to find the hidden Ares, the difference is as big as finding a needle in a haystack.

Steve glanced at Diana, then looked away from her beautiful face with difficulty, and looked at Lin Li. He felt a little bit of sympathy for Lin Li.

After all, Lin Li flew over from the sea, which really surprised him. This man can fly.

And from a few words, he always said that God, Ares, these things without scientific basis, are either crazy or sick, but...he can fly!This made Steve shaken.

He also asked Lin Li why he was able to fly, and he didn't look like he had propellers or anything.

Lin Li also answered him very sincerely, talking about World Travel, Speed ​​Force, superheroes, Olympus, Ares, etc...

If it wasn't for Lin Li's very sincere appearance, Steve would have thought he was sick, if not for his ability to fly!!
In short, in the end, Steve still treated Lin Li and Diana with suspicion.

"Yes, but I need to deliver this notebook first to stop this matter, and then I can introduce you to this world." Steve patted the bag on his waist and said.

"It's okay, you do your own thing, we will naturally act according to the situation." Lin Lidan said.
