Chapter 237 Smoking Tom
Chapter 237 Smoke Tom
"Even the cat has to buy a ticket." Although Zhang Daye complained, he still paid the money honestly. He remembered that he didn't need to buy a ticket for Tom when he went to Xiangbodi Park to play.
Tom took it for granted. When he and Jerry went to the cinema to watch a movie together, they bought two tickets, even though the movie starred themselves.
Before getting on the train, everyone took a good look at the train called the Hope of the Seven Waters, the Smoking Tom.
The front of the sea train looks like an old-fashioned steam train.
The words "Water7" are written on the side, and there are carriages for passengers and wagons for pulling goods towed behind.
Brooke, Perona and Tom all had a little excitement on their faces after seeing the sea train. Two of them were seeing such a strange vehicle for the first time, and one was just having fun beside it.
After observing for a while, everyone followed the other passengers and got on the bus.
The seats inside the carriage looked better than the hard seats in the green leather car, and the eight of them occupied exactly two rows of seats.
When the carriage was almost full of people, the train made a rumbling noise and slowly drove out of the station. Then the speed gradually accelerated. The obstacle remover in front of the car separated the sea water. The train just ran along the track on the sea, passing a group of people. The coffin boards of the physics tycoons were rubbing against the ground.
"It's moving! Hoho ho ho ho, it's moving like this even though there's no sail or oars, it's so amazing!" Brooke yelled, completely ignoring the looks of other passengers in the carriage.
Although he always dressed like a gentleman, many times his behavior was anything but etiquette.
Perona held her doll, not screaming like Brooke, but her eyes also revealed excitement.
Artoria looked at the scenery receding outside the window and wondered whether she should add a Wind King barrier to the sea train so that she could reach the food city quickly.
"You think, the sea train makes such a loud noise, won't it attract attacks from sea beasts and sea kings? And how does such a floating track support the sea train?" Rui Mengmeng raised the question in her heart. .
Although Zhang Daye was once a science student, the little physics knowledge he had obviously couldn't explain this kind of thing: "I don't know, I would believe this thing if you said it ate a devil fruit."
"Is this your first time in the Capital of Seven Waters?" An enthusiastic older brother from the back row immediately spoke to him.
After getting a positive answer, the elder brother introduced: "Although this 'Smoking Tom' is called a sea train, it is actually a ship. The track below actually only serves as a road sign. It’s not supported by it.”
This enthusiastic elder brother has done his homework carefully, so that he can tell the ins and outs of the overseas train to outsiders, instead of just saying, "What's so good about the overseas train?"
"So that's it." Rui Mengmeng asked, "What about the sea monster attack?"
Zhang Daye didn't even react yet, why did it turn out to be like this? Even if it is a ship, it is still unscientific for the ship to be shaped like this and be able to drive on the sea, right?
The big brother in the back row is already talking about the next question: "Mr. Tom said that when he was making the sea train, he deliberately designed it to make an annoying sound for fish as soon as it ran, so that sea monsters and sea kings would be far away. If you hear a sound, you'll run away."
Is it a method similar to using sonar to drive away fish? Is this thing also effective on sea kings? It would be great if it could really be done. Zhang Da also said: "If we ask Mr. Tom to install this kind of power system on our ship, will we be able to cross the windless zone at will? We have power and are not afraid of Neptune. Well."
The eldest brother in the back row stopped talking. This was his blind spot in knowledge. Crossing the Windless Zone or something like that, this little brother was too daring to think about it!
Everyone subconsciously considered this possibility, but Ye Yan was the first to pour cold water on it: "If we really do this, I think we will die ugly."
"Why?" Zhang Daye asked.
Ye Yan said: "The booklet you gave me says that the Windless Zone is the nest of giant sea kings, right?"
Zhang Da also looked at him like a stranger: "Classmate Ye Yan, you can finally remember important knowledge points! I am very happy. Classmate Perona, you have to learn from brother Ye Yan. He used to be a student with better grades than you." I'm still a bad student, the kind who can fall asleep after five minutes of reading, but after our physical training in turns..."
Perona was confused. Wasn't she talking about the windless belt? Why did it get involved with me?
"It's enough for you." Ye Yan didn't want to hear about his own dark history, so he brought the topic back, "If it's just annoying noise on the road, then the Neptune class might choose to stay away, but if the noise is moved to the Neptune class's nest Go, they will definitely go crazy, right?"
"That's right." So instead of installing a noisy power system, it is better to let the shark giant pull the boat. It is powerful and quiet enough. Otherwise, you can also catch a sea beast to pull the boat, and then use Artoria's perception ability to pull the boat. As long as you don't seek death, there is no problem if you want to cross the windless zone.
I sincerely thanked the elder brother in the back row for his popular science, which gave him a sufficient sense of accomplishment. Everyone looked at the scenery outside the window and chatted. Soon the sea train arrived at the first stop, St. Poplar Island, the Queen of Spring. city.
This is where CP9 worked to earn medical expenses for Lu Qi after the Judiciary Island incident.
However, this is not Zhang Daye's destination today. After waiting patiently for about ten minutes, the sea train started again and arrived at the Puqi Island Food City not long after.
Zhang Daye called his companions to get off the train, and took Tom, who was clinging to the window and wandering out of the situation, away, and everyone left the station together.
The famous food city looks like an ordinary town, and the architectural style is not much different from the Seven Waters City, but there are not so many crisscrossing waterways.
In addition, there is a faint fragrance in the air, which makes people move their fingers. Zhang Daye grabbed Tom who was about to follow the scent and asked, "By the way, Ye Yan, did you say yesterday that you would give the flag monsters a day off today? Do you want to approve it?"
"Actually, there is no need to take care of those guys like this." Ye Yan waved his hand and said, "Come out."
The flag monsters got Ye Yan's permission and came out, happily taking the team building funds given by Zhang Daye: "Thank you, master, thank you, boss!"
"Actually, we would rather take a day off in the Seven Waters."
"Yes, yes, it's rare that Sui Fenger has investigated so many good places."
Ye Yan raised the Huang Yao Banner: "Come back if you don't want a day off!"
The flag monsters ran away in an instant.
I didn't write Shift Station here because I suspect that its original text is SHIFT-STATION. There is a version of the comic that directly translated it into a mobile station on the sea, which means that it is not a station fixed in a certain place. It may be a station set up by Kokoro Grandma after Tom's death to deal with the accident caused by Yokozuna's challenge to the sea train. It's a pity that I don't know what the name is in the version translated by Qian.
In fact, along with the emergence of the Sea Train, there were also train robbers who specialized in robbing the Sea Train. The comics did not mention how to solve this problem.
Tom publicly said in court that the method of defending the Sea Train against the Sea King, so it is not a secret. It is reasonable for the people of the Seven Waters to know it.
