122 roundabout train
Yan Chong looked at the ground that was getting farther and farther away from him, and his muscles felt an inexplicable sourness.
After looking at the classmates around me, some of them had closed their eyes and were shaking a little.
"Hey, Yan Chong, do you have acrophobia?" Tom next to him shouted with a smile.
His arms slid forward and his legs kicked a few times, as if he was swimming.
Yan Chong shrugged: "No."
There was nothing under his feet, completely empty, but a mysterious and powerful force surrounded the entire body and made people fly up quickly.
If Yan Chong had not learned the technique of controlling the air, he would be scared to death at this time. But like a bird, he mastered the ability to fly and was instinctively no longer afraid at a high altitude.
Maybe you can't fly so high, but if you fall from a high altitude and use the air-control technique to buffer, you won't fall to death.
After traveling through several clouds, the golden but non-glazing sunlight fell on his body. Yan Chong looked at the sky and enjoyed the beautiful scenery here.
A few minutes later, the speed slowed down and the sky suddenly became darker. Yan Chong looked up and a city covering the sky appeared in front of him, blocking the sun.
The exclamation sounded among the students. Except for the teachers who were calm, it was mostly the first time that the students had seen such a city floating in the air.
This is Star Island, the floating city where Star Academy is located.
Through the alchemy knowledge in my mind, Yan Chong learned that the construction of a floating city involves very complex alchemy principles. To suspend such a large-scale city in the air, not only does it require a large number of floating stones, but also a large number of magic stones as a driving force.
The bottom of the city is protected by thick rocks, with various complex pipelines and magic circles inside.
Among them, the light column comes from an entrance on the bottom. Everyone continues to rise from this entrance, crosses a tunnel of hundreds of meters, and finally reaches the ground of Star Island.
The light column disappeared, the tunnel under everyone's feet was closed, and normal bricks and stones appeared.
This is a square, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.
There are towering mage towers in the distance and various buildings. Thick black smoke rises from the chimneys, like a factory in heavy industry.
"Jane, long time no see, my dear friend!" What came towards her was a middle-aged woman wearing a mage robe. She walked over and said to Jane with a smile.
On her chest was wearing the school badge of Star Academy - a blue-purple nebula, full of mystery.
"Long time no see, Lucy, I'm really happy to see you!" Jane saw the other party and walked up quickly, and the two hugged each other.
After hugging, Lucy glanced at the people behind Jane and said to Jane: "Are you leading the Bronze Level students this year?"
"Yes."
"Wow, what a group of good young ladies and girls. When I see you, I think of myself back then. I wish you good results in the Third Academy League!" Lucy glanced at everyone, her face full of smiles.
"Come with me, today you can take a good look on Star Island, I believe you won't disappoint you."
Everyone followed Lucy in the square, walked through several buildings, and came to a platform.
Six metal tracks extend side by side on the ground, and one of the trains consisting of several cars about ten meters long was parked next to the platform.
"This is the roundabout train on our Star Island." Lucy introduced and took everyone into a carriage.
The interior of the carriage is very luxurious, with soft carpets covering the ground, and dozens of leather single sofas are arranged on both sides of the carriage, which makes it very loose to sit.
The crystal lamps on the ceiling exude a soft light of light yellow, and the wooden walls reveal a classical and elegant atmosphere.
After sitting down, Lucy said that she had to wait for a few more groups of people before the train could start, so everyone sat on the sofa and waited with peace of mind.
Yan Chong casually found a seat next to the window and sat down, looking at the scenery outside through the window, while Tom followed Yan Chong and looked at the decorations in the car.
"It's the first time I've seen such a train." Tom touched Yan Chong, as if he wanted to talk about something.
"I have seen it many times before." Yan Chong shook his head and said.
After all, in China, high-speed rail has been popular all over the country, and it is very convenient. Looking at the trains on Star Island, the design style is still in the 1950s and 1960s.
Although the internal driving device may be different and is driven by magic stones, Yan Chong did not feel any freshness.
"Really or not?" Tom said in surprise.
"I used to sit on this thing when I was a child. When I followed my uncle to Star Island, there was Star Island in the entire Western Continent."
"You know, my hometown is the Eastern Continent, and there are such trains there." Yan Chong started to speak nonsense, but the other party should have never been there anyway.
"There are also in the Eastern continent? I heard that the alchemy technology in your place is not developed. What's more, this kind of magic train may not be very difficult, but it is very expensive, no less than a teleportation array, so it cannot be popularized." Tom said in surprise.
"Well--we are not driven by magic, but using steam, do you know?" Yan Chong said.
"Steam? What does it mean, water vapor?"
"Yes, it's water vapor."
"How could water vapor drive the train to travel?" Tom looked "You are teasing me".
Yan Chong shook his head, too lazy to explain to him.
Just like papermaking, because magic and alchemy techniques are too developed on the Endless Continent, no one pays attention to some simple things.
In other words, even if someone has discovered it in history, it has not been taken seriously.
Yan Chong had thought about proposing the design principles of steam locomotives, but it was meaningless to do so. The nobles and professionals would not care about such things that were not very useful to them, while civilians and non-professionals did not have the ability to achieve all this.
At this time, news came from the communication card. Yan Chong took it out and took a look. It was sent by a member of the Prophet's group named Falcon.
"Stay in the house when you are free to move around in the evening, and I will look for you at that time."
Yan Chong was stunned and then closed the information.
He looked forward and wanted to know who sent the message, but the single sofa was large and blocked everyone.
The teachers were all sitting in the front row, and even if Yan Chong stood up, he could not see their movements.
"Forget it, I'll know it tonight."
“Dirty ~”
“Dirty ~”
“Dirty ~”
The whistle sounded and the train started.
Although it is a little slight vibration and is not as good as the stable high-speed rail, the comfortable leather sofa solves all this and makes passengers sit very comfortable.
