Chapter 263: British Isle

Chapter 264
Through November 7, 12
The Elizabeth incident made my mind confused for a while, but compared to the muddled feelings. I have to concentrate on doing business, after all, this time I went to sea not for fun.
The fleet is about to arrive on the Isle of England. I came here 5 years ago.
According to the doctor, the island has changed a lot recently. I am very curious about the changes. I hope it is a good change.
I don't know where Anna is going now. I am a little worried about her. When we meet next time, I want her to tell me her whereabouts. If there is any accident, I can help.
Of course, I would persuade her to stay on the island, but according to her character, it might not be so easy.
As Charles continued to write, a light flashing outside the window caught his attention.
He quickly closed today's diary and walked to the window to look outside.
A white beam of light appeared on the dark sea, which was the light of the British Isles Lighthouse.
"Mr. Charles, are we there yet?" Lily climbed up his trouser legs.
Under the gaze of the two, a bright island slowly appeared in front of him.
As the most famous island in the North Sea, the area of ​​the British Isles is incomparable to other islands. Charles almost thought that a new continent had appeared before him.
The chimney with black smoke was Charles' first impression of here. He doubted that the roof of the cave above the Isle of England had been completely smoked black.
As the ship slowly approached, Charles could clearly feel the smell of pungent smoke in the air with the smell of sea.
"I remember there weren't so many chimneys..." Charles muttered while looking at the island in the distance.
The biggest difference from other islands is that electricity on this island seems to be free of money. Even the messy and noisy port area is full of yellowed light bulbs.
The yellow light bulb on the bottom and the black smoke on the top are the main colors of the British Isles.
While Charles was still observing this kind of island, the British Isles suddenly made a sound similar to an air raid alarm.
With the sound of the sound, several warships with anti-aircraft guns drove towards this side, and soon, on the side of the Hope Island battleship, a clipper ship rushed over and docked.
Charles thought that the fleet would be stuck in front of the port, but to his surprise, the opponent actually let it go.
"Aren't you embarrassed by the other side?" Char, who was standing on the dock, asked the captain who returned.
"Your Excellency, the other party said, I hope that friends from the island can enter the port, but they must pay the mooring tax."
"Haha, friends?" Charles smiled, he and him were never friends.
"Let's go, stop over and stop the boat, we will meet this "friend"."
The huge fleet attracted the attention of the British Islanders, and they were all talking about who came to save.
"Now that I get to the place, I'll go first. If you want to read the content, find Steam University by yourself." The doctor who came down the ladder limped towards the dock.
"be careful."
"Hmph, I have more acquaintances in this place than you, so you should worry about yourself, don't be overcast by that guy Swann."
Watching his back disappear into the crowd, Charles turned to sit in the waiting car.
As the governor came to other people’s islands, they still have to meet each other, which is considered the unspoken rule of the earth and sea.
Charles didn't take many people, except for Lily who was a guard led by Feuerbach.
"Where is the best shipyard in your place?" Charles asked Lily's red hair while facing the bearded, brawny driver.
"There is no private shipyard in the British Isles. All shipyards are controlled by the Navy. I really don't understand this issue."
Hearing this, Charles stopped talking and rolled down the car window to look at the scenery outside.
As the wheels of the car rolled, Charles and his team drove into the island. As the name suggests, all kinds of mechanical instruments that are not available on other islands can be seen everywhere.
The level of technology here is significantly higher. Charles can even see some people playing with huge and bulky disk drives.
"Mr. Charles, look over there, there is the TV you mentioned!" Lily lay on the window, shouting in surprise.
It was a screen as tall as a person, it looked very rough and bulky, and it was indeed a TV.
"Technology is developing a bit fast. There was no such thing five years ago. Things on the New Territories have a great impact on the British Isles."
At this rate, it will not be long before the technology of the Earth Sea World reaches the modern world.
As time passed, the car came near a factory, watching the black smoke from the chimney outside the window, emitting day and night, and Charles became interested.
He could see a lot of factories, and he was a little curious about what these factories were built.
Charles motioned to stop first. "Is that place allowed in?"
The driver nodded. "Of course, this is Mr. Jim's factory. His business has a lot of business dealings with Hope Island. I believe if he knows that Governor Charles visits his factory, he will definitely not stop it."
Charles raised his foot and walked towards the factory gate. He felt inexplicably familiar with everything inside. Everything here was very close to the factory on the surface.
"Very noisy" This was the first impact Charles had when he walked into the workshop. The huge machinery assembled with various gears and air pumps was like a monster creeping in the middle of the workshop.
It seems to be some kind of power machine, driven by a punch tirelessly hitting it.
Not to mention that Charles, who was on the surface, had never seen this kind of equipment, and the others beside him had not seen this scene either.
The faces of everyone who followed were filled with surprise.
"Kh! Kh! Kh!" The workers quickly put a certain gear part into the groove of the machine and punched it quickly.
Charles can judge that this seems to be making some kind of machine parts.
Looking at the workers' haggard faces and dark circles under the eyes, Charles judged that these people were obviously lack of sleep.
"The primitive accumulation of the Industrial Revolution?"
Seeing exhausted workers~EbookFREE.me~ Charles is very sure that this punch has definitely broken many fingers.
"Wow!" Lily, who was standing next to Charles, flicked her tail, looking at everything around her in amazement.
Just as she looked at everything around her in a novel way, something was slowly approaching it from the mechanical underground,
Suddenly, a dry little black hand stretched out from under the machine and grabbed Lily.
"what!!"
The moment he heard Lily's scream, Charles was tight, and when he had just turned around, the sharp black blade had appeared in his hands.
"Swipe!" The cold light flashed, the black hand cut directly from the wrist, and scarlet blood spurted out.
When Charles rescued the terrified Lily from the black hand, the little mouse was already terrified and cried holding Charles' fingers.
