Crossing the 7th of the month

Elizabeth's affair made my mind mess up for a while, but compared to the muddled feelings. I have to concentrate on getting down to business, after all, I'm not here to play.

The fleet is about to arrive on the British Isle, and I came here five years ago.

I heard from the doctor that the island has changed a lot recently, and I am curious about what kind of change it is, and I hope it is a good change.

I don't know where Anna has gone now, I'm a little worried about her, and the next time we meet, I want her to tell me her whereabouts, and if anything happens, I can come to the rescue.

Of course, I would persuade her to stay on the island, but according to her character, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

As Charles continued to write, a flash of light outside the window caught his attention.

He quickly put an end to today's diary, walked to the window and looked out.

A white pillar of light appeared on the dark sea, and it was the light of the lighthouse of the British Isles.

"Mr. Charles, are we there?" Lily climbed up his trouser leg,

Under the gaze of the two of them, a bright island slowly appeared in front of him.

As the most famous island in the Northern Sea, the size of the British Isle is unmatched by any other island, and Charles almost thought that a new continent had appeared in front of him.

The smoky chimney was Charles' first impression of the place. He suspected that the roof of the cave above the island of England had been completely blackened.

As the ship slowly approached, Charles could clearly feel the pungent smell of smoke in the air with the smell of sea.

"I remember there weren't so many chimneys before...... "Charles muttered as he looked at the island in the distance.

The biggest difference from other islands is that electricity on this island doesn't cost money. Even the messy and noisy port area is covered with all kinds of yellowed light bulbs.

The yellow of the bulbs below and the black of the smoke above, these two colors are the main hues of the British Isles.

While Charles was still observing the island, a sound similar to an air raid siren suddenly sounded on the British Isles.

With the sound of the sound, several warships with anti-aircraft guns drove towards this side, and soon, the battleship of Hope Island also sent a fast boat to rush over and dock.

Charles thought that the fleet would be stuck in front of the port, but to his surprise, the other party actually let it go.

"Didn't you embarrass you?" Char, who was standing on the dock, asked the captain as he returned.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the other party said that I hope that my friends on the island can enter the port, but they must pay the stop tax. ”

"Huh, friend?" said Charles, who had never been friends.

"Let's go, come over and stop the boat, and we'll meet this "friend". ”

The grand fleet attracted the attention of the British Islanders, who were all talking about who was coming.

"Now that you're in the place, I'll go first, if you want to read the content, find the Steam University yourself. The doctor, who came down the ladder, limped towards the dock.

"Stay safe. ”

"Hmph, I have more acquaintances in this place than you, you still have to worry about yourself, don't be yin by that Swan guy. ”

Watching his back disappear into the crowd, Charles turned his head and got into the car he was already waiting for.

As a governor, when you come to someone else's island, you still have to see each other, which is the unspoken rule of the earthly sea.

Charles didn't take many people with him, except for Lily, who was the guard led by Feuerbach.

"Where's the best shipyard here?" Charles asked, stroking his hand over Lily's red fur as he turned to the bearded driver.

"There are no private shipyards in the British Island, all the shipyards are controlled by the navy, and I really don't understand this problem. ”

Hearing this, Charles stopped talking, rolled down the car window, and looked at the scenery outside.

As the wheels of the car rolled, Charles and his party drove into the island, and the people of the City of Machines are as their name suggests, and all kinds of mechanical instruments that are not found on other islands can be found everywhere here.

The level of technology here is significantly higher. Charles could even see some people fiddling with huge, bulky disk drives in their hands.

"Mr. Charles, look over there, there's the TV you mentioned!" Lily cried out in surprise as she leaned against the window.

It was a screen more than a person high, it looked very rough and bulky, and it was indeed a TV.

"Technology is developing a bit fast, there was no such thing five years ago. The things above the New Territories have a great impact on the British Island. ”

At this rate, it will not be long before the technology of the Earth Sea World reaches the world's modern society.

As time passed, the car came to the vicinity of a factory, and looking at the black smoke from the chimney outside the window, emitting day and night, Charles became interested.

He could see a lot of factories and was a little curious about what they were made of.

Charles motioned for a stop. "Shall you let the place in?"

The driver nodded. "Of course, this is Mr. Jim's factory, and his business has a lot of dealings with Hope Island, and I believe he would not have stopped Governor Charles from visiting his factory if he knew about it. ”

Charles raised his feet and walked towards the factory gate, everything inside, he felt inexplicably familiar, everything here was very close to the factory on the surface.

"It's noisy" This is the first impact of Charles walking into the workshop, a huge machine assembled with various gears and air pumps, just like a monster crawling in the center of the workshop.

It seems to be some kind of power machinery, driven by the punch tirelessly smashing.

Not to mention that Charles who came to the surface had never seen such a device, and the others next to him had not seen this scene either.

The faces of everyone who came with them were full of surprise.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The workers quickly put some kind of gear part into the groove of the machine and quickly stamped it.

Charles could tell that it seemed to be making parts of some kind of machine.

Looking at the haggard faces of the workers, as well as the dark circles under their eyes, Charles judged that these people were obviously sleep deprived.

"The bloody primitive accumulation of the Industrial Revolution??"

Seeing the tired workers, Charles was sure that the punch must have broken a lot of fingers.

"Wow!" Lily, who was standing next to Charles, wagged her tail and looked around in amazement.

Just as she looked at everything around her with curiosity, something beneath the machinery was slowly approaching it.

Suddenly, a shriveled little black hand reached out from under the machine and grabbed Lily.

"Ahh

The moment he heard Lily's exclamation, Charles tensed, and as soon as he turned around, a sharp black blade had already appeared in his hand.

"Brush!" The cold light flashed, and the black hand was cut off directly from the wrist, and scarlet blood spurted out directly.

By the time Charles rescued the frightened Lily, the little mouse was already frightened, holding Charles's fingers and crying.
