ACT034: Passenger Ship to the New World

"Goodbye, there will be a date later!"

"Take care, have a good journey!"

On a bright and sunny morning, Weiss, Ling Lan and Adele, after saying goodbye to their friends who came to see them off, boarded a passenger ship ready to go to the Langson Republic of West Yanzhou. This was the first time in Weiss's 16 years of life in this world, and it was also the first time he went to sea in nearly 40 years in his two lives, so he seemed a little excited. Ling Lan, who was standing beside him, sighed at the blue sea.

"Ling Lan, what's wrong with you? Are you seasick?"

"No, I just don't want to take a boat."

"Uh...you don't like the sea?"

"That's not, I just don't like taking boats because I always encounter storms."

“…” x2

In an instant, Weiss and Adele had sweat on their foreheads. They had heard that there was a passenger ship in the local area that could go directly to Xiyanzhou, so they excitedly booked the ticket, forgetting that there was a spearman known as "Lucky E" next to them. At this moment, they finally realized it, but they had no chance to get off the boat.

"Ling Lan, are the amulets given to you by Master Kabbalah still there?"

"Here!"

"Don't leave yourself, please, don't leave yourself!" Because it is very important, Weiss said solemnly twice.

The passenger ship "Laurel" that Weis and the others was a regular business ship between the two continents. Most of the passengers were merchants, spies disguised as merchants, and fugitives who smuggled. In terms of classification, Weis and they should belong to the last one, but the identity of the chess owners made them not have to hide in the dark bottom warehouse like other refugees.

As a passenger ship that mainly picks up and drops off wealthy businessmen, the facilities on the Laurel are quite luxurious, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say that it is a cruise ship. However, because most of the passengers on this trip returned to China by the epidemic, most of the people choose to hide in their rooms, and those who come out to ventilate and stay in masks, as if they are afraid of being infected with germs.

"Not to say that, it really goes with that. The richer the more you are, the more afraid of death. Everyone in the hot weather is so tight, and they are not afraid of prickly heat coming out." Looking at the group of "Arabs" on the deck, Weisdae despised them from the bottom of his heart.

The three of them leaned on the railings, chatting while waving the sea breeze. The knowledgeable Adele has been traveling everywhere since she became an adult, and she has visited all five continents. When it comes to Nanfengzhou, she can't help but feel sorry for her.

"When I just came out to travel 150 years ago, the human Witt Empire had not yet been divided. Witt Twenty-third was a very talented emperor. The country flourished under his rule and competed with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for the title of "the most powerful country in mankind". Unfortunately, the wise and wise Twenty-third lifetime had committed Alzheimer's disease in choosing an heir, and chose the young son who could only make him happy to succeed him. The young and foolish emperor broke the once powerful empire in just 8 years."

Thinking of the "Sex Emperor" who once clamored to conquer the world and included all the beauties in the world as his own, Adele couldn't help but curl his lips.

At that time, Adele was attending a local traditional food festival in the Witt Empire. As a result, the emperor ordered the arrest of all the elves in the territory, regardless of gender (they were later regarded as evidence of the sexual fetish of this last generation, and many difficult-to-see works were born), and Adele had to work with his fellow tribes to fight for a bloody way home, and the relationship between the two countries became tense because of this incident.

"Adele, what about the Republic of Langson we are going to? I heard that it is a very developed country." Weiss asked excitedly.

"Ronson? Well... I can only say that it is a magical country."

"Uh... why do you say that?" Weiss and Ling Lan looked at each other, with a look of confusion.

"In terms of technology alone, that country is indeed strong. There is nothing to say. Many fields are inferior to those in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but..."

"But what?" x2

"...But that country is really weird!" Adele shrugged.

The Republic of Langson was established 518 years ago and was formed by the six southwestern provinces of the Victor Empire. With the natural barrier of "Berem Grand Canyon", the country survived the "human turmoil" that lasted for a full 20 years, and eventually became one of the only three remaining human countries in Western Yanzhou, and has existed until now!

Because of their small land area and a population far lower than the other two countries in Xiyanzhou, the Langsen people clearly realized that once the "canyon defense line" is broken, the country will only destroy it day and night. As a result, while constantly consolidating the defense line, they are also working hard to climb up their own science and technology tree. Finally, they have successfully developed guiding technology in modern times and reached the forefront of the world in the field of technology. The weapons and equipment used by their national defense forces are generally ahead of the empire and the Federation for 5 to 10 years!

This country that takes the "short and capable" route gives Weiss a bit like Sweden or Israel on the other side of the earth. 800,000 square kilometers of land and 45 million people. It has stood for 500 years in front of two powerful countries with several times their population and land area, and has gradually shown signs of counter-pression in recent years.

But even so, Adele still insisted on her evaluation of this country, while Weiss and Ling Lan roughly learned about the "weirdness" of this country through her introduction!

Admittedly! This country has very advanced technology in all fields, and even the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the most powerful mankind, often cooperates with it to jointly develop certain new technologies. But as mentioned before, the technology tree in this world has long grown into a "tenta-shaped crooked neck" under the influence of those unscrupulous time travelers. The advanced nature of many things, even in the eyes of the time travelers of Weiss, is meaningless.

For example, a magical "full automatic multi-functional tooth picker" has many functions, including picking teeth, picking noses, picking ear piercings, scratching dandruff, etc. Weiss really can't imagine how boring the person who invented this thing?

Among the many "scholars" in the Langson Republic, the most famous one is Edward Ellik Weiss, the great master who is called "the father of guidance" and "the incarnation of craftsmanship", the first time he heard this person's name was when he was 5 years old. What he wanted to do most at that time was to "@" Hiroshi Arakawa and ask her what she thought!

If nothing unexpected happens, Weiss can be almost 100% sure that this person is a time traveler from the earth! But unlike those slags with only 5 combat power, this man is obviously a powerful person with real talents and knowledge. Even his luck value has exceeded the "EX+" level of the sky. It makes people wonder whether he has the legendary "protagonist halo"?

Edward, who is 80 years old, is still the chief academician of the Langson Academy of Sciences. Many of the weapons and equipment of the National Defense Forces are made by him. For example, the shock-absorbing armor used by the ODSTs in the E9 Comprehensive Test Corps and the "Alien Firework" suits used by the flamethrowers were designed and named by him.

In addition to military aspects, his contributions to the civilian field are also outstanding, including refrigerators, radios, projectors, cameras, and many high-tech products that time travelers could not copy before were realized through his efforts.

During his 60 years of struggle, he used the first 10 years to perfect the "magic transformation technology" conceived by another time traveler and to create the first verification machine for the guidance furnace. He successfully transformed the unstable magic into a stable "power" without the magician's control, providing the initial power basis for all subsequent inventions. The thirty years in the middle were used to develop infrastructure, giving the Langson Republic a certain industrial production capacity.

In the 20 years since then, the old man who had complete various conditions began to "invent and create", making Langson and the entire world directly transition from the mid-Renaissance level to the early level of World War II in just 60 years. The speed was so fast that other countries were almost overwhelmed, and they also directly shook the Fourteen Kingdoms of Nanfeng who were still in the melee.

Fortunately, the time traveler who provided the theoretical foundation had sold his theory everywhere because of his down-and-out life. Therefore, when countries noticed a clue, they immediately ordered the spy to launch an action, and at a high cost, they then asked their "scholars" to carry out reverse engineering. Finally, they relied on the strength of the whole country to catch up, and were not left far behind by Langson.

"Any elves scholar must admit that human guidance technology is a great invention, and the guidance era will surely transcend the magic era and the mechanical era, but... but many humans are not rational enough. They randomly apply this great technology to some strange places, which is simply a waste of resources!"

Thinking of some publicly sold things on Langson Street, Adele felt that he could not accept them completely with his conservative views. Instead, after hearing what she said, Weiss began to become a little interested.

While the three were chatting, a middle-aged man with a bloated body walked to them and listened to their conversation. The other party was wearing a fat gray hooded robe and a big mask on his face. He was dressed in an outfit similar to other passengers on the boat who were afraid of infection.

After the man came over, Weiss glanced at him for a moment and did not pay more attention to him. He just listened silently and occasionally nodded slightly. After listening for a while, the man quietly turned around and prepared to leave, while Weiss noticed the other person's pace of walking, showing a thoughtful expression.
