Transcendent Journey

To

哐哐哐…

An astonishing “steel giant beast” in an imposing manner of red and black crushed the snow-white steam, running at high speed along the long railroad tracks between green hills and clear water.

Toot——!

Passing through a deep tunnel through the mountain, it happened to meet another row of steam locomotives on the opposite side. The two cars greeted each other with a high-pitched siren at the same time.

The passengers in the carriage who witnessed the two cars passing by at high speed, their hearts throbbed and exclaimed in their mouths.

The 201st year of the Haiyuan calendar is already the first year of the third hundred years of the Great Maritime Era.

However, the railway on which this “steam locomotive” is currently running is no longer a “coastal railway” that runs through the eastern sea coast from north to south. It is the “Broken Star Fragmentation Sea Railway” that connects the east and west coasts, and it is also the world’s first railway across continents.

And different from the early construction of the “Binhai Railway”, this “Star Fragmentation Sea Railway”, which was also constructed by the “Binhai Railway Company”, is a double-track railway that allows simultaneous operation in both directions.

The starting point is in the city of St. Ivan on the Eastern Sea coast, and the ending point is in Santa Monica, which was originally dominated by the “Mother of Water” Mai Luo on the west coast, with a total mileage of more than 4,000 kilometers.

The speed of the car has also been increased to 80 kilometers per hour. The ordinary person’s one-way journey across the entire duchy only takes two days.

Construction started at the same time as the “Western Movement”, and it was not finally completed until a year ago.

Through this railway and the “world bridge”, Garrett duchy is completely integrated in economic operation, promoting Duchy to become an economic power that connects the “Black Sea” and the “Star Fragmentation Sea”.

It also integrates resources such as land, minerals, population…etc.

Since the start of the “Westward Movement” eight years ago, the total population of Duchy was 12.2 million.

Today, the population has rapidly increased to 18 million at a net population growth rate of 5% per year. Coupled with the continuous wave of immigration this year, the total population has grown to 20 million.

The vast and fertile land in the Midwest needs more people to cultivate and cultivate; large and small gold and silver mines, copper mines, iron ore, coal mines… also need continuous manual mining;

The east, in turn, provides processing places and markets for various natural resources in the west.

With the vast land and abundant population, the economic development of Garrett duchy has entered a period of rapid growth. In other words, the GDP growth rate is already well-deserved No. 1 in the world!

Talents, funds, population…flock in.

Of course, in addition to the wise leadership and hard-working people of Duchy’s rapid development, the “golden pound” this “international currency” also has so much credit.

At this time, in the last luxuriously decorated VIP compartment of the steam locomotive, the personnel were far less noisy than before, except for a few beautiful court ladies in regular clothes.

On the seat near the window, only Ivan, who was simply wearing a white shirt, sat beside Olivia in a soft green lady’s dress, and on the opposite side was Livina in a rose puff sleeve dress.

Although there are three full sections of VIP carriages with no other people, they are only carrying out a two-day “private visit on microservices”.

This is the limit of simplicity.

“Oh, it’s still good to paint on white paper, maybe it’s only a matter of time before the vast Garrett duchy surpasses Falitis.

Long Island in front of you is just a microcosm of the development of Duchy, and the development of the Midwest from scratch to the present level is even more shocking. “

Livina was holding the iced juice in her hand, looking at the vast farm, the road extending in all directions, the tall buildings rising from the ground… could not help being a little surprised.

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of transportation, a large number of flying shears and large commercial steam ships have been launched continuously.

Especially after the “Palm Palme Federation” opened the country’s first fixed steamship route, Tulip Alliance took the lead in opening the first trans-“Black Sea” route after being unwilling to do so.

Only because steamships rely heavily on logistics, the “Great Wall on the Sea” and “supply points” controlled by Tulips are also rare routes on the Black Sea that allow steamships to sail far away.

A disguised form has created a substantial monopoly, and it is also open to ships of other countries. Just collecting taxes and fees such as port charges, supply fees, etc., can make a lot of money.

Especially on the new continent, the Port of St. Ivan Mayor’s Island, which is the hub of maritime traffic.

Externally connected to the old continent, internal canals, Long Island Railway, Long Island Highway and other facilities were built one after another, so that the east-west traffic was completely connected, and the development speed was like riding a rocket.

In addition.

The continuous development of ocean commerce, the insurance industry for seafarers and the financial industry for businessmen are also continuing to develop. Long Island’s status as an economic and financial center is quietly taking shape outside of the Duchy political center.

After Livina sighed, she couldn’t help but give Ivan a glance:

“Just after the “Five-Year Plan”, the colony of Falitis is about to know that there is a duke but not a queen.”

As Garrett Duchy continued to exert his power, the economy of the Falitis colonies next to Duchy was directly “kidnapped”.

Capitalists can influence public power through economic means, how could Ivan fail to do so? Even if he didn’t do it deliberately, the colony had its own interests.

“he he he …”

What can Ivan say about this? You can only give your majestic queen Your Majesty a “sincere” smile.

Olivia next to Livina poured another glass of watermelon juice for Livina.

In fact, she didn’t mean to pursue it. The benefits of Falitis and Garrett’s bilateral cooperation have long been far beyond those of a few colonies.

If she is not the queen representing an entire interest group, it would not be a big deal to give it to Ivan.

At this moment.

Toot——!

The steam locomotive slowed down and passed through a prosperous new town.

It was a surprise to see the sights here. The economic development of this country is second, but the development of science and technology is enough to attract anyone’s attention.

da da da ..

Drop! drop! …

There are primordial carriages on rural roads, but there are already steam-powered locomotives, cars with internal combustion engines, and even electric vehicles powered by [magnetite] or [artificial sun] remotely powered… [ 19459002]

In the farm, animal power has been almost completely eliminated. Various agricultural machinery spews steam, and one machine can be worth the sleepless workload of dozens of people.

The steam war chariot that defended the town rumbling in the distance.

Following the style of “Steam and Mechanical God”, everywhere is full of mechanical devices, vehicles and weapons with ancient shapes, huge volumes, complex structures but advanced functions.

They either use steam engines, or internal combustion engines, or electric motors as primordial power. Mechanical transmission structures, gears, knobs, pipes, pistons, bearings, pressure rafts and other structures strongly impact human visual nerves.

There are praises for the beauty of industry and machinery everywhere.

Since the beginning of the steam industrial revolution, this World has changed a lot. It has become a world where magic and science coexist. Some people are driving [Divine Weapon] to fight, and there are also people using witchcraft.

Of course.

There are [steam divisions] in the duchy range, and there are also a large number of [electrical engineers] in the “Tulip Alliance” range. No technology is omnipotent, and no one will refuse more advanced productivity.

In the last days before the epoch change, the rays of light of science and transcendent complemented each other, blooming with unparalleled splendor.

bang!

Suddenly, the door of the VIP carriage leading to the upper carriage was opened.

“mother! Godfather! Abel’s big brother bullied me.”

A cute little girl with long golden red hair and pink jade screamed and ran over from another carriage and threw herself into Livina’s arms.

The little girl is only about four or five years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing a sparkling jewel Princess crown, and her small face buried in Livina’s arms seems to be crying.

Queen Your Majesty did not eat her set at all, and lightly tapped the cute tip of the little girl’s nose.

“hmph, Christine, you naughty ghost, don’t I know you yet? You must have disturbed you again. Abel’s big brother is reading, right?”

“Ah! Where is it?”

Livina still looks like a pretty girl, and after being promoted to the title of “Knight”, she can at least maintain this state for five-six hundred years, but after all, she is, cough…years old.

It is related to the stability of Falitis Kingdom inheritance. The domestic interest groups, especially the group of members of the parliament, have been changing the law and urging the marriage day by day.

Livina was so annoyed that she simply hid in Ivan’s White Swan Castle.

There is a reformed administrative system, but she doesn’t need to do it herself. Whether it is [spirit net network] or telegram, it is enough for her to conduct remote command.

Just a few days after hiding, a great piece of good news suddenly came to save Livina’s life.

After years of hard work, Stephanie and Jeros finally have their own love crystallization!

And in one step, I gave birth to a son and a daughter in one go.

In the end, Livina coax and pester pretended to be pitiful on the road, and left the youngest daughter Christine without wizard aptitude, and eldest son Krexi continued to be raised by their husband and wife.

Ivan, who blessed Christine when she was born, naturally became her godfather.

Following Little Princess, a teenager in a hunting suit with a book in his arms followed him in.

Blue hair, fair skin, black eyes, and facial curves are softer than normal Nemansters. He is a mixed race with not too obvious characteristics.

Walking to a few people, the boy called to Ivan:

“The Godfather.”

This year, Abel, the son of Milan and Apsuya, is eleven years old, and his personality is far from that of Milan, but he resembles Ivan.

The companions around her are gradually succeeding, and Olivia, who has been married for 11 years, has envious eyes red.

However, although Ivan is indeed at the age of being a father, he does not want to learn from a certain beard and say, “Boy, I think your skeleton is surprised, come on, be my son!”

“Abel, how did you learn First Volume in “The Sacrifice of Flesh”…”

Whoops!

The voice did not fall, accompanied by a sudden burst of sound.

In the woodland in front of the steam locomotive, suddenly there was a head close to five meters tall, with a long tail at the corners of the head, and a terrifying silhouette covered with gray scales suddenly rushed out.

áo hǒu ——!

The sound shook the mountains and forests for a long time.

At this time, they have not left the scope of the emerging town just now, and that silhouette is also directly printed in the eyes of the locomotive passengers and the numerous urban residents.
