I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 362

Chapter 362 Industrial Storm

It is the second day to take the train to Tabur.

Thoreau's family of four plus servants and Tu Fu, the number reached seven.

Take a fast train named "Future" from the Ibiza Islands to the southern mainland.

Tu Fu looked at the signage of the surface station, and then compared the map of the southern continent, and couldn't help but sigh:

“There is a distance of thousands of kilometers from Ibiza to Santa. It's really amazing that such a long distance can be connected together.”

"Although it is separated by a strait, fortunately, the kingdom has done a lot of bridge repair projects in Santa in recent years."

Judge Henry saw that he was interested and willing to explain, "They connected the southern mainland and the nearby islands with Bentu, and the policy above is that wherever there is a road, it must be covered with railroad tracks.

In terms of the degree of development of transportation alone, even the country may not be able to match it. This is a very remarkable project in recent years. "

There is another point that Henry Thoreau didn't say bluntly. These expenses are directly deducted from Santa's annual finances. Although the technology is sent by engineers in the kingdom, the manpower and material resources used are all provided by Santa.

The interesting thing is that the Santa Railway Bureau pays the Kingdom an infrastructure fee every year.

Even riders have to collect additional taxes, of course, this is only for people of color.

"Really magnificent design."

Tu Fu couldn't help admiring the railway track extending in all directions, and then accompanied his family from the platform into the steam train.

The familiar sound of "whooping" can be heard endlessly, and billows of black smoke are discharged from the locomotive.

After all the passengers arrived, the body of the "Future" flew out with a "swish", leaving only a row of black smoke.

Tu Fu instinctively perceives that the speed of the current train is faster than that of two years ago, probably due to another technological innovation.

Since he went to sea two and a half years ago, he has rarely taken a slow tool like a steam train.

Re-experience again, it is a completely different feeling.

Except for the two brown-skinned maids and maids in the second-class seat, Judge Thoreau's family chose the first-class seat, which is different from the Baier first-class seat in that the Southern Continental train has a separate box with a door type The design can perfectly isolate the noise from the side.

Regardless of the environment or the service, it is not at the same level at all.

Fresh fruit plates are prepared on the table in the first-class box, and special chefs will make individual meals according to the requirements of passengers.

The meals for the second-class seats are uniformly cooked curry sauce and the like, and the third-class seats do not even provide food.

Seeing such a huge difference, Tu Fu couldn't help thinking: "The designer is also a talent. The purpose of this kind of box is not just to provide guests with a quiet environment, but to hide the difference in treatment from other seats."

As he stepped into the first-class compartment, he noticed again that the passengers here were 100% purebred whites.

The difference between the three ticket prices is less than two crowns, which is not enough for local rich people to afford, but many people of color who wear high-end suits still choose second-class seats.

"It's normal for you to feel strange." Henry Thoreau noticed Tu Fu's doubts and explained casually,

“Although it is said that the first-class seat does not prohibit local residents from buying, the conductors will hardly sell tickets to them or to people of color. This seems to have formed a customary rule.”

"I see."

Tu Fu had never been abroad before, and he had rarely encountered racial discrimination. This trip to the Southern Continent opened his eyes.

The existence of such things as the chain of contempt has never been limited to a certain circle.

Or,

It is precisely because of comparisons and selfish desires that the progress of this society is faster, even though it is full of various inequalities.

The box is a space of about 15 square meters with soft seats for six people. The seats can be folded to serve as beds, and the objects on the top of the box made Tu Fu stare at them for a while.

It was a transparent glass cover, and inside were several tungsten wires. When the flight attendant clicked the switch, the temperature of the tungsten wires would automatically increase.

A flash of yellow light covered the entire box, Tu Fu stared at this thing and felt melancholy.

"Mr. Andersen, that's an electric light."

A crisp female voice sounded from behind, and the young girl Cheryl introduced this invention to Tu Fu.

"Electric light, it seems that it has replaced the effect of gas light."

"Of course, electric lights are installed everywhere in the Southern Continent, which not only consumes less energy, but also has a service life far less than that of gas lamps.

That is a great invention of Mr. Tove Capet, and I am his loyal supporter. "

When the name was mentioned, Cheryl's light purple eyes shone brightly, needless to say the color of admiration.

She turned into a star-chaser girl.

"Sister, that's not what you said when you were studying general education courses." Younger sister Tina ruthlessly pierced Cheryl's little thoughts.

Miss Cheryl tilted her head, "Tina, you look cuter when you're not talking, you said."

"certainly."

Feeling the murderous look in her sister's eyes, little Tina quickly shrank her head, not daring to breathe.

"Mr. Tufu Capet." When Henry called out the name, Tufu was startled subconsciously until the other party finished speaking, "I don't know if you have heard of this name."

"Some impression."

Judge Henry saw the two daughters fighting, and added with a smile on the side: "That is the most remarkable young man in our kingdom, and everyone likes him."

"yes?"

"Of course, Mr. Capet is very powerful."

Even as soon as she got into the car, her eyes were fixed on Little Tina, who kept staring at the fruit plate. When talking about this topic, she nodded her head in approval.

If it was two years ago, Tu Fu would probably join them and praise himself shamelessly.

It's just that such thoughts have faded a lot now, and hearing those words of praise didn't even stir up any waves in my heart.

"I have seen some news about him on the news. Mr. Capet seems to have left Baia a few years ago, and there has been no news since then."

"Blame those guys in the Kingdom..."

"Cheryl, you should pay more attention to your words outside."

Cheryl grumbled and complained. As soon as she spoke dissatisfied words, she was stared back by the stern eyes of her mother across the seat. As a lady from a rich family, she should not express her private political opinions in such a public place.

"This matter is a bit complicated to say."

Judge Henry did not hesitate to reveal all the information he had, "I think it is due to the need for safety, Mr. Capet cannot make public appearances for the time being, and there has been little news of his activities outside the past two years.

It is worth mentioning that there are many domestic voices about welcoming him back. The Seven Schools Alliance, the parliament, the cabinet, from the domestic aristocratic families to the elites, all sent voices to the Hill Palace to welcome him back.

Not to mention the voices of the people, every year the House of Commons proposals can't get around this point, and even Prime Minister Sorens has been running for this matter.

His Majesty has publicly stated many times that Mr. Capet is the most important weapon of the kingdom, and any country that dares to attack him privately is an enemy of Baia, but I still think that His Majesty has no intention of letting go of this matter. "

Tu Fu just snorted lightly when he heard this, he was not surprised at all.

"For a face-saving guy like William II, making such a statement means that he will either wait for me to apologize, or wait until Baier lives and dies before he is willing to admit his mistakes.

The king's face is bigger than everything else. "Tu Fu said silently in his heart.

The typical guy who sees the coffin and does not cry, has never been grateful for his contribution to the kingdom, and only cares about whether the king's face is good-looking.

That is to say, when you encounter the huge assets left by the father and the capable ministers, if you change to a small country, this kind of operation has already caused anger and resentment.

"However, I think this matter will have a result soon."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Before the war between Baia and Landis, a new round of industrial storms had already set off on the North Continent. It was related to the use of electricity, which is the direction of future technology."

Judge Henry's mysterious smile made Tu Fu understand what he meant.

Yes,

Driven by the wheels of the times, a new round of industrial reform is finally coming.

In the past, Baia failed to take advantage of the industrial revolution, and paid the price of iron and blood for decades to chase the frontier of the times.

At the turn of the era of integrity, because of the fluttering wings of his little butterfly, the introduction of advanced technologies in classical physics and quantum physics, and the contribution of promoting DC generators, Baia has been on the right path.

Such a critical moment requires a talent like him who can change an era.
