"Ding-dong! Ding dong! ”

"Woo!"

A railroad track runs from the interior of Typhos City to the distance, and the straight rails follow the horizon until they disappear to the end of the sky, and a steam locomotive carrying more than a dozen cars passes through the tracks from the distance and arrives at the station in Typhes City.

It was a steam locomotive, and the railroad under its feet was the first railroad to appear in the world of Maria, from the alchemist city of Tephes to the capital city of Fenleyt.

The use of steam engines has been quite widespread in the Sheen City-State Alliance, and the emergence of the Demonized Steam Engine and the Metal Activated Steam Engine has brought the originally developing Sheen City-State Alliance into a future and distance that the land fish cannot even imagine.

"The steam locomotive has arrived, we have gone up, and in only two days, we will be able to get to Finnlet!" A chubby middle-aged woman holding her three children was constantly crowded towards the front, the station was crowded with people, and the steam locomotive, a convenient tool, had been embraced by most people within the Sheehan city-state alliance.

"Inspection, everyone must be inspected when they get on the bus, the guards pay attention!"

"Buy a ticket to get on the bus, otherwise you can't get on the bus!"

Everyone boarded the steam locomotive in a crowd of people carrying large bags and small bags, and at both ends of the station, there were a large number of guards wearing overcoats and carrying spears, and there were also station staff to maintain order.

Lu Zhiyu stood on the platform of the station, looking at this steam locomotive with a somewhat complicated expression, the people of the Sheen City-State Alliance called it a steam locomotive, and Lu Zhiyu was more accustomed to calling him a train, for Lu Zhiyu, the steam locomotive has a special meaning.

When looking at this steam locomotive that looked like an old-fashioned model, emitting billowing black smoke, ugly and black, appeared in Lu Zhiyu's eyes, Lu Zhiyu suddenly remembered the scene when he was a child and traveled with his parents for the first time.

"What a long memory! How long has it been? ”

"Hundreds of years? Still is? ”

Lu Zhiyu looked at the steam locomotive and remembered the first time he took the train, at that time, just like the children beside him, excited and excited, looking at the world outside the window that was constantly moving backwards, and his eyes were shining.

The appearance of the steam locomotive, for Lu Zhiyu, seems to feel that Maria's world is constantly moving towards the world he is familiar with, and this world seems to be becoming more and more familiar in Lu Zhiyu's eyes, constantly moving towards the world he is familiar with and imaginary, but what the future is, Lu Zhiyu still can't guess.

"Check the ticket!"

"Everybody with the ticket in your hand!"

The steam locomotive set sail, and with thick smoke and a shrill whistle rising from the top, the steam locomotive slowly accelerated as it knelt down, heading in the direction of Finley, and the land fish rode on the steam locomotive.

The appearance of steam locomotives appeared more than ten years ago, at the beginning, it was transformed by alchemists through mine cars, and the mine cars made for mining and transporting ores were made, and later used to transport some goods, until the world's first railway under their feet opened, and it really appeared in front of the eyes of ordinary people in the Alan continent.

"It doesn't feel like the train I imagined!"

"Metal-activated steam engines?"

Lu Zhiyu observed this steam locomotive and found that the most special thing is that this car seems to be somewhat applied to the theory of alchemy life, the metal activated steam engine is a metal version of the heart, the steam engine has been improved from generation to generation, and the particularity of the magic steam engine, the steam engine seems to have become a bit beyond the original imagination of Lu Zhiyu.

It can be seen that the entire steam locomotive is under the control of an alchemist, and the internal steam engine can obey the alchemist's control like life, control the internal pressure, power, and steam condensation, and easily and accurately control the acceleration and deceleration of the steam locomotive.

This is simply a prototype of alchemy life with a metal-activated steam engine as the core, and after the alchemist invented the demonized steam engine, he stepped into the path of exploring alchemy life, and went further and further.

The Demonized Steam Engine is more special than the Metal Activated Steam Engine, which is a steam engine that incorporates extraordinary power and apotheosis cells, and can be seen in the hands of some high-level alchemists, especially Marina Bossay's alchemy doll Akmund and the fish-man alchemist Bobby's alchemy submarine are the most famous.

"How's that, doesn't it feel amazing?" A middle-aged man with a mustache who looked to be in his forties and was sitting opposite Lu Zhiyu immediately asked when he saw Lu Zhiyu leaning out of the window and looking ahead.

Lu Zhiyu nodded, this is an alchemist, or a second-level alchemist, among alchemists, it can be regarded as an existence with a relatively high status: "It feels amazing that it can make such a large iron car move." ”

A smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged alchemist: "All this is due to Lady Marina and Mr. Lars Brown, Mr. Brown invented the steam engine and pointed us alchemists in the direction, and Lady Marina transformed the metal-activated steam engine and the demonized steam engine, which completely led us to the future. ”

"In the future, we will use metal to activate the steam engine and create alchemy beyond everyone's imagination and change the whole world."

"Can you imagine? It is not impossible for us to install the Demonized Steam Engine on the airship and build an airship that can really sail far, or even an iron battleship that can fly in the sky, as well as the city of the gods mentioned in the artist Laar's painting. ”

"We are miniaturizing the activated steam engine, and we want to make a steam locomotive that can be small, a small steam locomotive that can be used for home and personal use, and it will completely replace the horse-drawn carriage, just as the ordinary steam engine replaces manpower."

"If we could make the metal-activated steam engine even smaller and fully automated, and even make all sorts of unimaginably small alchemy items, as well as the magic steam engine, have you heard of Mr. Axmond, a friend of Lady Marina? That's a real miracle, a real alchemical life. ”

Lu Zhiyu listened to him quietly and said a little bit, and put forward some opinions and ideas in the middle, the middle-aged alchemist was very shocked by Lu Zhiyu's erudition, and even wrote down some of Lu Zhiyu's thoughts and opinions on the spot.

"Knock knock!"

"Woo!"

"It's time to stop, Finnlett, it's the last stop, everybody has to get off."

When it was time to get out of the car, the middle-aged alchemist, who had been talking happily, remembered that he had not yet introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Elanberry, my name is Robert Evelyn!" ”

Then Robert shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the steam locomotive: "This steam locomotive and the railroad under my feet were designed by me." ”

Finnlit, the capital of the Sheehan City-State Alliance, is a true metropolis of modern times, with tall buildings, horse-drawn carriages coming and going, wide roads that take minutes to traverse, and tall statues of artists standing at the intersections.

Most of the passers-by are dressed in new short costumes and top hats, and look polite, and many people along the way are reading newspapers with their hands, and the proportion of literate people has reached the forefront of the whole world.

"Sell the newspaper! Sell newspapers! ”

"Emperor Setisis I of the Psut Empire was summoned by the god of death to enter the realm of the gods and leave the world!"

"Sell newspapers! Major changes have occurred in the Psut Empire, and the dynasty has changed! ”

"The Suput Empire will be succeeded by Setises II, and the new emperor will be crowned on the Day of the Dead."

As soon as Lu Zhiyu walked out of the station, he heard the news, but he didn't expect that immediately after the harvest goddess Bernice ascended to the throne, Setisis had already gone to the underworld, and he would take over the position of deputy monarch of the death underworld, plus Del Medi is also a non-caring character, and the underworld will basically be taken care of by Setisis in the future, and Lu Zhiyu is very much looking forward to what kind of underworld Setisis will build.
