Early August.

The ships of the three shipyards of Tomorrow City were launched and docked side by side on the shore, making it the most beautiful scenery on the riverbank.

The three ships were all sailless, with fixed gun emplacements on the deck standing tightly on either side of the ship.

The bridge stands tall, the huge chimneys behind it are full of industrial beauty, and the orcs stare at the three steel giants, their eyes shining.

"It would be nice if there were tools to record the appearance of the steamship, this is a historical event!" Minister of Construction Hood stood at the forefront of the circle of politicians, looking sighing.

"Not to mention, our latest new invention in Tomorrowland has the tools you mentioned." Windsor next to her smiled, then looked at Allen again.

"What, really, I'm talking about documenting the appearance of a steamship, not painting on the spot." Hood was half surprised, half confused.

He arranged for several sketch masters to paint on the spot, and it only took three or four hours, and the scene that went down in history will be recorded by the sketch masters.

"It is not only the steamship that can be recorded, but also the flow of people and the distant scenery on the shore." Alan nodded at the right time, showing a smile that met the expectations of society.

The three of them were talking about the new invention when the cat-eared orc's voice of joy came from behind them, "Your Majesty Allen, bring the camera!" ”

Hearing this, the officials of the kingdom turned their heads one after another, not bothering to watch the steamship, and turned their eyes to the crowd behind them.

The crowd moved out of the way for two people to squeeze through, and two orcs were holding a large suitcase, which looked a little heavy and locked.

"This is ......" The orcs looked at each other, not knowing what it was.

The two orcs moved the suitcase to Allen's side, opened the suitcase with the key, took out the main camera, the triangular stand, and the two quickly assembled the camera, and then took out the black and red cloth from the suitcase and spread it on the back of the camera.

The square subject looks strange, with an accordion-like stretch body, and the front is a silver-gray metal face, with two vertical rows of circular lenses in the center of the metal surface, and the lens protrudes from the metal surface by a few centimeters, like a metal eye.

During this time, the black cloth was covered all the time, and the orcs were surprised and did not understand what it was.

Windsor saw that Alan didn't speak, and she explained to everyone for Allen: "This is a dual-lens reflex camera, one is responsible for framing, and the other is responsible for photography. ”

The cameraman also knew that everyone's hearts were meowing at this time, in fact, he didn't use this tool for long, it took less than three days, but it was a miracle.

The videographer crouched down and stuck his head in the black cloth, and another cameraman's assistant explained: "Those who don't understand can wait for us to wash out the photo, buy a photo at the internal price, and take it home as a souvenir, and then you will know what it is when you see the photo." ”

Then the assistant took out the magnesium lamp tool from the large box, which contained a mixture of magnesium and oxidant, and he tightened the clockwork and poured in the magnesium powder.

As he was talking, the assistant heard the cameraman's command, "Prepare for exposure." ”

"Okay."

"There may be smoke later, there will be a flash of light, there will be an instantaneous burning sound, please don't panic, it's all normal operation."

The orcs nodded as if they understood, whether this strange thing really flashed and smoked, the orcs didn't know.

Alan quietly moved a meter away from the camera, and then looked at the battleship fixedly, not at the magnesium stick.

After the cameraman finished explaining, he pressed the shutter with one hand and operated the flint wheel machine with the other, pressing two things at the same time.

"Poof!"

A violent burning sound sounded, and the orcs watching from the flanks and behind them all saw a burst of intense white light flash in their eyes, and their eyes appeared white ghosting for a moment.

The orcs, who were not in front of the spotlight, saw a faint white light flashing towards the warships in the canal.

On the other side of the river, there were also countless orcs standing on the bank, tiptoeing, not only judging the quality of the battleship, but also staring at the cameras on the other side of the river.

Coincidentally, they also saw the sudden flickering white light of the magnesium lamp, because the distance was too far away, the people on the other side were almost unaffected, so they saw the scene of a black smoke coming out of the magnesium lamp.

"What a shiny thing, what is that?"

"I don't know, I guess it's a new invention from Lord Allen." The orcs on the other side of the river were aroused.

Originally, their interest was to see battleships, but they had seen battleships once four months ago, so their interest was instead the kind of invention they had never seen.

Alan's side, the officials were startled, the cat orc jumped back suddenly, the lion orc also exploded its cold hair, and the lion's tail blew back obliquely like a cat, like a frightened kitten.

Even though the deputy city lord Windsor was mentally prepared, she was still startled when she heard the pop, saw the flashes of light, and a cloud of black smoke rising into the sky, and took a step back in fright, hitting Allen's arm.

Windsor turned her head and found that the person she bumped into was Allen, and immediately explained in a hesitant manner: "Your Majesty Allen, I, I'm not afraid at all. ”

As Windsor explained, the other orcs also blushed slightly, blushing at their momentary surprise.

Alan didn't put this at ease, and smiled, "It's nothing, everyone has their first time." ”

The orcs smiled awkwardly, and then they all stared at the orcs behind the black cloth of the camera, and the cameraman's head was stuck in the black cloth, changing the film with the speed of his hand for twenty-five years of being single, sealing the film and preventing it from running out.

When the cameraman came out of the black cloth, he saw that everyone was staring at him, and he was embarrassed to see it.

"The principle of the camera requires light, ahem, in fact, after seeing the magnesium light once, you will get used to it, and there is nothing about it." As if to confirm his statement, the cameraman glared at the assistant again, "Clean it up, prepare magnesium powder, and take another photo." ”

Then, the photographer and the assistant repeated the photo process again, and the orcs were mentally prepared, and when they saw the cameraman press the shutter for the second time, they were really not so afraid.

The pop fell, and the black smoke rose, and the orcs erected their ears, only to feel a momentary noise, and then something.

Taking pictures looks so scary, the politicians comfort themselves in their hearts.

Ten minutes later, the army marched out into three corps at the shore mouth, and Allen stood on a makeshift platform and issued a pre-war declaration to define the war.

"This is a liberation movement that concerns the whole people, the inaction of the local ruling class, the unfair distribution of social benefits, and the lack of basic ......human rights for the civilians at the bottom," Allen said on the stage, focusing on describing the irrationality of other countries, smearing the enemy, praising our side, and making the soldiers stand up and become righteous soldiers.

Half an hour later, the three legions boarded the steamship one after another, and the sound of air roared, and the steamship broke through the waves, dragging a long column of black smoke, and sailed into the distance.
