The wheels, brakes and buffers of the Magic Car are all specially made. You can stop immediately when you step on the brakes. The maneuverability is much stronger than that of ships or even trains.
This new type of transportation was originally invented as a military vehicle. The original name was "truck", which was used to transport soldiers and tow artillery.
Two years ago, the Far Eastern troops expedition to the Ashen Empire were hailed as the
corps on wheels
because the troops were equipped with a large number of armored personnel carriers and towed artillery. The marching speed was far from comparable to that of traditional cavalry. They launched a series of
blitz battles
. The defensive forces in the empire were stunned.
The Far East army reached the holy city of Yashan in less than half a year, and finally won the war. The Magic Car made great contributions.
After the war, orders for military magic trucks dropped sharply, and the Far Eastern authorities did not want to export this new type of vehicle to foreign countries, so they encouraged automobile factories to turn to civilian use. The municipal transportation department of Kolasburg also purchased a large number of magic cars. Replace the stagecoach.
Locals have become accustomed to this fashionable means of transportation. They line up to get on the bus from the front door, and the passengers arriving at the station get off the bus from the back door, appearing orderly.
Qiao Ann followed the crowd and got into the car, laughing at how strange he was.
I was still disgusting that Colasburg did not have a rail carriage, and now I know that I am a hillbilly and an old hat. In fact, people have long eliminated the rail carriage and replaced it with a more advanced bus.
Fortunately, I didn't say what I was thinking, otherwise I would be really embarrassed!
There are two rows of seats in the carriage, and Qiao An sits on an empty chair nearby, looking at the snowy street through the glass window.
The steam engine of the bus roared and the wheels started up, carrying more than 20 passengers along the street, much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
Qiao An also noticed that when the bus approached the intersection, it slowed down and the pedestrians took the opportunity to walk across the intersection.
A black iron rod was erected in the center of the intersection. Two lights were mounted on the iron rod, both of which had a constant "unextinguishable flame", showing two colors of red and green.
When the red light is on, pedestrians and vehicles are waiting at the intersection. After a minute, the red light turns to green, and pedestrians and vehicles can pass.
Joan has never seen such a simple and efficient "traffic light" in Midgard and Leiden, or even the holy city of Yashan that he visited briefly. Pedestrians colliding with galloping horses are busy every day. The cross streets are repeatedly staged and people have become accustomed to it.
The streets of Kolasburg are wider and smoother than those of the three cities mentioned above. In addition to pedestrians and horses, there are also roaring steel cars on the streets, but Qiao Ann looks over here, not to mention traffic accidents, even congestion and illegal traffic. The situation has never been seen.
It is true that the busy and orderly urban traffic is inseparable from the guidance of "traffic lights", but Qiao An feels that this is not a purely technical factor, but also a human factor.
The residents of Colasburg, regardless of men, women and children, are familiar with the traffic rules and are willing to abide by the rules. This is the most rare thing.
The traffic indicator system on the streets of Collasberg is not complicated and can be transplanted to the streets of cities in the New World, but it may not be able to receive the desired results.
At this time, Qiao An heard a sound above his head, as if he was playing a brisk piano.
He looked up at the sounding place and found a half-foot-square iron shell device hung in the middle of the ceiling of the carriage. The surface was covered with honeycomb-shaped holes, and sweet piano music flowed out of this machine.
Qiao An stared at the device curiously, and after a little identification, he could see that it was a magical device specially used to transmit sound signals. It was attached to various communication spells including "Magic Mouth". No wonder it could play a piano. song.
Recalling related topics on the cloud network forum, Qiao An guessed that this device is the so-called "magic radio", not only can play music and songs, the major broadcasting companies in the Far East also specially produced various radio programs. The machine spreads to thousands of listeners. The two most famous programs are "Voice of the Far East" and "Fireside Talk" that Qiao An has heard about.
However, he did not expect that the popularity of Magic Broadcasting in Colasburgh was so high that even the bus was equipped with a radio to provide entertainment for the passengers, and the journey would not be too lonely.
The piano music is just the prelude to the radio show. The next one is a "radio drama". The protagonist is a story of a bald priest riding a white horse with a dragon vein and his three students and traveling companions traveling west on a fictitious continent. I experienced many interesting adventures and adventures along the way.
The three students of Mr. Pastor are not ordinary people.
The eldest disciple is a rebellious and powerful "Enlightenment Structured Golden Ape" druid and monk who is mainly responsible for demons and demons during the adventure.
The second disciple is a "beastly boarman" berserker, greedy, lazy and a bit lustful, and his combat effectiveness is not bad. In the script, he is mainly responsible for playing treasures and making funny things.
As for the third disciple, he is a little bit hip, it seems that he is a "half murloc ranger" who has no sense of existence...
Qiao An was fascinated by it, but the radio drama was suddenly interrupted and replaced with an emotional voice:
"You are about to arrive at the'Friendly Home' hotel in front of you. Passengers who need to get off please prepare in advance.
Qiao An stood up angrily, thinking about taking the time to search for the radio drama about the adventure of the four masters and apprentices traveling westward on the cloud. If there is an original novel, just buy a flip, which is quite interesting.
After getting out of the car, Qiao An immediately saw a towering building on the other side of the road. If it weren't for the sign of the hotel, it looked more like a nobleman's castle.
In fact, this is not surprising.
It is said that as early as the founding of the Far East, this hotel named "Friendly House" was once expropriated as the temporary palace of Rudolph I. After the completion of the new palace a few years ago, the "Friendly House" was reopened to the public and restored. The functions of the hotel.
Joan came to Colasburg early in the morning. He wandered around for two hours without eating, and was groaning with hunger.
The "Friendly Home" hotel must have a restaurant, but it looks too grand and luxurious. Qiao An thinks that dining in such a place must be expensive.
It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, mainly because he doesn't like the overly solemn atmosphere in high-end restaurants, and he has to make a tone when eating something. He is serious and makes him feel very uncomfortable as a young man from the country.
Compared to the high-end restaurants in the hotel, Qiao An prefers roadside restaurants and walks into a nearby tavern, intending to eat something casually, even with breakfast and lunch.
As soon as he walked in, Qiao Ann was taken aback by the dark crowd in the tavern.
