Chapter 490 Magic City
Chen Luo looked down at the entire Lofis City and appeared in a train that was leaving Lofis City.
This is a steam locomotive with more than 20 carriages. After all the passengers boarded, it left Lophis City and drove towards the next city.
"Children, it only takes two days before we can reach Gusai City."
A goblin woman smiled and said to the five children lying on the window.
The five goblin children across from Chen Luo swarmed to the edge of the glass window and looked outside excitedly, apparently taking a train for the first time.
"Mom, does the train really run so fast!?"
"Mom, mom, can I get on the train!"
"Wow, so many people!"
"Sir, can I change places with you!"
The five goblin children jumped up and down excitedly and excitedly, especially when they saw the train start slowly, and the world that kept going backwards and backwards outside the window, their eyes shone with light.
Chen Luo saw the two goblin kids excitedly requesting to change seats with him, he smiled, and immediately got up to make way for them.
The two goblin children immediately thanked them excitedly, then slammed to the window and looked outside with wide eyes.
"Don't stick your head out!"
"Oh, okay, Mom!"
The goblin woman nodded politely at Chen Luo and thanked the two goblin children.
Although Chen Luo is a human at this time, when the goblins around him look at him, he looks like a goblin.
When watching the train drive out of Lofis City with billowing black smoke, Chen Luo's eyes scanned most of the city in the train.
At this time, there have been many high-rise buildings in Lophis City. Compared with the first time I saw it before, the buildings are generally at least twice as tall, and buildings more than 100 meters high have appeared.
Although the city continues to expand, with the influx of more and more goblins, the housing problem here is becoming more and more tense, and we can only find ways to build the house higher and higher.
Chen Luo couldn't help laughing when he saw this. According to this trend, the goblins might be the first to have housing price problems.
In the next few decades, the city of Fes will be similar to those international cities in the United States in the early 20th century, but it has a more magical atmosphere.
The appearance of trains and airships made Chen Luo feel as if the Western Fantasy World was constantly moving towards the world he was familiar with.
But what the future will be like, Chen Luo still can't guess. Having alchemy means having infinite possibilities.
The goblins have come up with these things now, and it might be possible to rush out of the universe one day.
But the hidden dangers of the goblins are not without. Like the real society, the process of industrialization has brought a lot of environmental problems.
In the early days, Wang Zhan only cared about development, where would he consider environmental issues.
Now that various large-scale factories are established, especially various chemical alchemy and pharmaceutical alchemy products, goblins did not pay enough attention at first, which eventually led to serious environmental pollution.
It was not until a large number of goblins fell ill that Wang Zhan realized that the environmental problem had arisen in advance, and had to order rectification.
But at this time, it has been difficult to return. It cost a lot of money to move those connected into the factory and move out of Lophis City, not to mention the environment.
With the accumulation of wealth, there have also been dramatic changes in the social class among the goblins. The wealth is unrestrained and gathered towards those big alchemy masters, and there is a faint trend of monopoly.
And after these alchemy masters gained a lot of wealth, they naturally sought political status and wanted to influence the national policy of the Kingdom of Bua more, leaning towards their related fields.
It's just that Wang Zhan's prestige is like a god among the goblins at this time. With his personal prestige, he can suppress these emerging powerful and powerful people. For the time being, there have not been too many problems.
However, as the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, sooner or later, there will be times when it cannot be suppressed, and the contradictions within the goblins have begun to appear.
On the outside, the trolls are gradually uniting, preparing to deal with the Kingdom of Buya together.
Over the past few decades, troll alchemists have not developed as powerful as goblins, but they have equally powerful demon warlocks. Combined, they can still threaten goblins.
Chen Luo could foresee that in the near future, whether Wang Zhan wanted it or not, a war would break out.
At that time, the pattern of Alvin Continent is only afraid that there will be new changes.
Chen Luo retracted his gaze and focused his thoughts on the steam engine driving the train.
At this time, the steam engine was still driven by burning coal to generate steam, but unlike the real train, an alchemist was there to control it.
By controlling the internal pressure, power, and steam condensation, they can easily and accurately control the acceleration and deceleration of the steam locomotive.
When the active metal cells spread to the Kingdom of Buya, this situation will definitely improve further. There is no need to burn coal at all, and the active metal cells can do it.
"First time on a train?"
A middle-aged goblin in his 40s sitting opposite Chen Luo, saw Chen Luo staring at the outside all the time, with a look of interest on his face, he immediately asked.
Chen Luo smiled and nodded, this goblin has the strength of a third-order alchemist, and is considered a relatively high status among goblins.
The goblin alchemist had a smile on his face, "All of this is due to the great majesty and the sages of Craigie, your majesty invented the steam engine, and the sages of Craigie transformed the steam engine of metal cells, pointing us to the future. direction."
"Now Craigie Sage is transforming the airship. In the near future, there will be iron airships like steamships. In the future, we will not only have a strong naval power, but also have a strong air superiority capability."
"And we are working on making steam locomotives smaller and making small steam locomotives that can provide personal use, which will become the latest mode of travel."
This goblin alchemist's face was full of excitement, and he was still full of good yearning for the future.
Most of the goblins in the train are the same as him, and they are still the same as they were more than 20 years ago, full of the breath of hard work.
"Sir, sir! Are you an alchemist?"
Chen Luo listened quietly, but the goblin children next to him suddenly shouted excitedly and stared at the goblin alchemist with wide eyes.
"Well, I'm an alchemist."
The goblin alchemist nodded with a smile.
"Wow, sir, my ideal is to be an alchemist!"
"Sir, can you teach us alchemy!"
In an instant, not only the goblin children were excited, but the surrounding goblins also heard the movement here, and all of a sudden moved towards this side.
And at this time, Chen Luo smiled, looking at the already very lively carriage, people have quietly exited the Western Fantasy World and returned to reality.
