"Ding dong! Ding dong! "
"Woo woo!"
A railway ran all the way from the inside of the city of Tefellow to the distance. The straight railway ran along the horizon until it disappeared at the end of the sky. A steam locomotive with more than a dozen carriages passed through the railway from a distance and arrived at the station in the city of Tefellow.
This was a steam locomotive, and the railway under its feet was the first railway that had ever appeared in Maria's World. It had been built from the city of alchemy warlocks, Tefellow, all the way to the capital, Finnlit.
The use of steam engines had become quite widespread in the Sean City-State Alliance, and the emergence of the magic steam engine and the metal-activated steam engine had brought the Sean City-State Alliance into a future that Lu Zhiyu had never expected.
"The steam locomotive is here! Let's get on it! It will only take us two days to get to Finnlit!" A chubby middle-aged woman, holding her three children, kept pushing forward. The station was crowded with people, as steam locomotives were a convenient means of transportation. In the Sean City-State Alliance, the majority of the people were attracted to them.
"Check! Everyone has to go through a check before getting on the train! Guards, pay attention!"
"You can only get on the train if you buy a ticket!"
Everyone carried their bags and boarded the steam locomotives amidst the pushing and shoving. At both ends of the station stood a large number of guards wearing coats and carrying long spears. There were also station staff to maintain order inside the station.
Lu Zhiyu stood on the platform of the station and looked at the steam locomotive with a complicated expression. The people of the Sean City-State Alliance called it a steam locomotive, but Lu Zhiyu was more accustomed to calling it a train. For Lu Zhiyu, the steam locomotive had a special meaning.
When Lu Zhiyu saw this steam locomotive, which looked like an old model and was billowing black smoke, he suddenly remembered the scene when he was a child and went on a long journey with his parents for the first time.
"What a distant memory! How long has it been? "
"Hundreds of years? Or …? "
As Lu Zhiyu looked at the steam locomotive, he remembered the first time he had taken a train. At that time, he had been as excited as the children around him. He had looked out of the window at the passing world, his eyes shining.
The appearance of the steam locomotive made Lu Zhiyu feel as if Maria's World was constantly moving towards the world that he was familiar with. This world seemed to be becoming more and more familiar to Lu Zhiyu, as it was constantly moving towards the world that he was familiar with and had imagined. However, Lu Zhiyu still couldn't guess what the future would hold.
"Time to check the tickets!"
"Everyone, hold your tickets in your hands!"
The steam locomotive set off, with thick smoke coming out of the top and a shrill whistle, the steam locomotive slowly accelerated, heading in the direction of Finnlit. Lu Zhiyu sat on the steam locomotive.
Steam locomotives had appeared more than ten years ago. In the beginning, alchemists had modified mining cars to create mining cars for mining and transporting ore. Later, they were used to transport some goods. It wasn't until the world's first railway was opened that ordinary people on the Alen Continent saw it.
"It feels different from what I imagined!"
"Is this a metal-activated steam engine?"
Lu Zhiyu observed the steam locomotive and found that the most special thing about it was that it seemed to apply some of the theories of alchemy. The metal-activated steam engine was a metal version of the heart. After generations of improvements, coupled with the special characteristics of the magic steam engine, the steam engine seemed to have become a little more than what Lu Zhiyu had originally imagined.
It could be seen that the whole steam locomotive was under the control of an alchemist. The internal steam engine could be controlled by the alchemist as if it was alive. It could control the internal pressure, power, and steam condensation. It could easily and accurately control the acceleration and deceleration of the steam locomotive.
This was simply the prototype of an alchemy life with a metal-activated steam engine as its core. After the alchemists invented the magic steam engine, they began to explore the path of alchemy life and went further and further.
The magic steam engine was more special than the metal-activated steam engine. It was a steam engine that incorporated extraordinary power and deified cells. It could be seen in the hands of some high-level alchemists. Among them, Marina Bossay's alchemy doll Archimonde and the murloc alchemy warlock Bobby's alchemy submarine were the most famous.
"How is it? Does it feel magical?" A middle-aged man in his forties with a mustache sitting opposite Lu Zhiyu asked as he saw Lu Zhiyu leaning out of the window and looking forward.
Lu Zhiyu nodded. This was an alchemist, a level two alchemist. Among the alchemists, he was considered to have a relatively high status. "It feels magical," he said. "It can actually move such a big iron car."
The middle-aged alchemist smiled. "All of this is the credit of Ms. Marina and Mr. Lars Brown. Mr. Brown invented the steam engine and pointed out the direction for us alchemists. Ms. Marina created the metal-activated steam engine and the magic steam engine, which led us to the future.
In the future, we will use the metal-activated steam engine to create alchemy that is beyond everyone's imagination and will change the whole world.
Can you imagine? We will be able to install the magic steam engine on airships and create airships that can really travel long distances. We can even create iron warships that can fly in the sky. We will also be able to create the City of the Sky, the capital of God that was mentioned in the artist Lars' painting. This is not impossible in the future.
We are trying to miniaturize the metal-activated steam engine. We want to create small steam locomotives that can be used by families and individuals. They will completely replace horse-drawn carriages, just like how ordinary steam engines replace human labor.
If we can modify the metal-activated steam engine even smaller and make it completely automatic, we can even create all kinds of unimaginable small alchemy tools. There is also the magic steam engine. Have you heard of Ms. Marina's friend, Mr. Archimonde? That is a real miracle, a real alchemy life. "
Lu Zhiyu quietly listened to the alchemist's explanation and gave some suggestions and ideas. The middle-aged alchemist was shocked by Lu Zhiyu's knowledge and even wrote down some of Lu Zhiyu's ideas and suggestions on the spot.
"Your knowledge is really beyond my imagination. Which alchemy college did you graduate from? Is it my alma mater, Akkad Alchemy College?" the middle-aged alchemist asked.
Lu Zhiyu smiled and replied, "I graduated from Home Alchemy College."
The middle-aged alchemist was even more confused. "Garyton Alchemy College? Which alchemy college is that? "
Dong! Dong!
Woo! Woo!
At that moment, the two-day and two-night steam engine journey finally came to an end. The sound of the steam engine's whistle interrupted their passionate discussion.
"We have arrived at Finnlit Station. This is the last stop. Everyone must get off the train."
As they were about to get off the train, the middle-aged alchemist suddenly remembered that he had not introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Eranbell. My name is Robert Evelyn!"
Then, Robert shrugged and pointed to the steam engine. "I designed this steam engine and the railway under our feet."
Finnlit was the capital of the Sean City-State Alliance. It was a modern metropolis, with tall buildings and endless streams of carriages. It took a few minutes to cross the wide road, and there were tall statues of artists at the crossroads.
Most of the pedestrians were wearing new simple clothes and hats, looking gentle. Along the way, many people were holding newspapers and reading. The literacy rate had reached the forefront of the whole world.
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! "
"Emperor Cetisius I of the Pusuote Empire has been summoned by the God of Death. He has entered the Kingdom of God and left the world!"
"Selling newspapers! There has been a major change in the Pusuote Empire!
The throne of the Pusuote Empire has been taken over by Cetisius II. The new emperor will be crowned on the Day of Death. "
As soon as Lu Zhiyu walked out of the station, he heard the news. He did not expect that right after Bernice, the Goddess of Harvest, ascended the throne, Cetisius would go to the underworld. He would take over the position of the deputy ruler of the underworld. Moreover, Delmedi did not care about anything, so the underworld would basically be managed by Cetisius. Lu Zhiyu was looking forward to what kind of underworld Cetisius would build.
