Chapter 489 War Airship

After leaving Latu City, Chen Luo reappeared in Lophis City in Alvin Continent.

The alchemy of the human race has developed so rapidly. The goblin, as the first person to possess alchemy and possess extremely high alchemy-related racial talents, should develop faster than the human race.

When Chen Luo appeared in Lophis City, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Woooo!"

A railroad track extends from the city of Lophis all the way to the distance.

The straight rails followed the horizon until they disappeared into the sky.

Chen Luo laughed dumbly, "Interesting, I actually made a train."

The first thing Chen Luo noticed was the steam locomotive with black smoke. It made a humming sound and drove all the way from afar.

It's not fast, about the same as an old-fashioned iron train, but it's definitely the most advanced and fastest means of transportation in this day and age.

When the train stopped at the railway station in Lofis City, the neatly dressed goblins quickly jumped off the train and hurried towards the city.

The goblins who were waiting for the arrival of the train below jumped on the train one by one.

Whether it was the goblin who got off the bus or the goblin who got on the bus, they all seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry.

"Don't crowd! Check tickets first!"

A goblin ticket inspector in uniform shouted loudly.

"Everyone in the car must be checked. It is strictly forbidden to carry any alchemical weapons and alchemical gunpowder. The guards check carefully!!"

"Get in line! All those who cut the line are thrown out!"

"Leave in an orderly manner, don't rob!"

Outside the station, there were also goblins standing on the high platform, holding megaphones to maintain order.

Everyone boarded the train with big bags and small bags, or left the train station amid the hustle and bustle.

At the entrance and inside the station, there are also a large number of goblin guards in uniform and carrying alchemy weapons to help maintain order.

Chen Luo is interesting to see, not only this railway station has the prototype of modern society, but also the whole city of Lofis.

Compared with his more than 20 years ago, Lophis City has expanded more than ten times, and there are more than 10 million goblins living in it.

In the past 20 years, the goblins first made a fortune through the war between the Holy Sword Dynasty and the Mayo Military Alliance, and almost shaved off the flesh of several countries in the Mayo Military Alliance.

Then, through ocean trade, alchemy items were sold between continents, earning a lot of wealth.

Through these wealth, the goblins began to continuously research and develop more alchemy items, forming a virtuous circle, allowing the entire goblin family to develop at a high speed.

Today, the population of the Kingdom of Bua exceeds 500 million. Lophis City is now not only the economic center of the Kingdom of Bua, but also the economic center of the Alvin Continent.

Even elves and trolls have to come to Lophis City in order to buy more advanced alchemy items.

You can already see a lot of elves here. As for the trolls, of course, you can't see them. Most of them order those enslaved goblins to come here to buy the alchemy items they need.

The development of Lophis City has led to the development of cities in the entire Kingdom of Bua.

Due to the growing development of maritime trade, a city of Lofis can no longer meet the resources required for export, and must include goblins and resources from other cities.

Originally, with the development of the economy, the cities within the goblins became closer together, so there was an urgent need for a way to link the cities.

Thus the train and the steamship were born.

The steam locomotive appeared more than ten years ago. Wang Zhan came up with the train pattern of the modern society, as well as the operation principle, and finally came out after repeated research and improvement.

In the beginning, they used the mine car that was originally used for mining, and later upgraded and transformed it into a transportation train for coal mines and other goods.

At first, it could only be used for short-distance transportation. Later, after the continuous transformation of Wang Zhan and the goblin alchemists, it finally changed from transporting goods to a train that can carry passengers.

In the past ten years, the goblins have overhauled railways in almost all parts of the country, and have linked half of the Kingdom of Bua by railways.

At the same time, large manned steam airships were also developed at Craigie, the goblin who was the first to create a hot air balloon.

After being given spiritual power by Chen Luo more than 20 years ago, Craigie was accepted as a disciple by Wang Zhan, and his talent was completely released.

Now not only has he become the youngest third-order alchemist, he has also made the greatest contribution to the research and development of trains, and has independently developed a steam airship for long-distance navigation.

Almost as long as it is a mechanical-related field, there is always a solution to Craigie.

In addition to manned steam airships, Craigie developed war airships on this basis.

The war airship seems to be only two words different from the manned airship, but the difficulty is completely different.

The most important weapon on the war airship is of course the alchemy cannon. There are many things to consider when installing the alchemy cannon on it.

The weight of the alchemy cannon, the recoil when launching, the caliber of the launch, and the speed of the flight, etc., no matter which one is wrong, will cause the war airship to fail to function.

It was all very difficult at first, but when Liu Suifeng's metal cells for making the alchemy platform spread to the Kingdom of Buya, Craigie was inspired at once.

The use of metal cells to make alchemy cannons and steam engines greatly reduces the weight of both, and greatly improves the flying speed and flexibility of war airships.

After years of improvement, the weight of the alchemy cannon and the weight of the airship were continuously reduced, and finally a small war airship was obtained for Craigie.

In order to maintain mobility, this airship only carries a small alchemy cannon, and the airship is also very small, and can only carry a goblin pilot to control the airship.

After that, Craigie became a goblin national idol and was regarded as a role model to learn from. The dream of many goblin children was to become an ace pilot of a war airship.

Chen Luo also deliberately took a look at the combat airship that Craigie made. It is about the size of a fighter jet. It initially has the prototype of a modern aircraft, but the only limitation is the hot air balloon on it.

After all, hot air balloons are just ordinary materials, and their strength is far less than that of steel and metal. Driving this kind of combat airship can handle ordinary people. If you encounter extraordinary people, such as mages and archers, as long as you shoot through the hot air balloon, you will immediately will be over.

However, the goblins are aware of this problem at this time, and are developing more sturdy hot air balloons, such as light and hard alchemical metal.

With the presence of a modern man like Wang Zhan, he might be able to get them a plane in the future.
