Steel Steam and Flame

Take a commercial airship, the airship specially designed for taking guests in the Empire ≠ Although each person’s ticket is expensive, compared to the airship’s own consumption, no matter what type and class it is Not a good deal. The generally adopted method is mainly to carry a variety of commercial goods, with passengers as assistance.

The battle line I went to this time was specially selected based on the location of Messeria. Not only did it take into account the convenience of the itinerary, the number of events on the front line, but also the number of people on the front line dispatched by hostile countries. One of the benchmarks. There is some pressure on the current Cassia, after all, it is the first time to go. Even in military schools, they are well-trained, and they are very capable of withstanding all kinds of sudden situations. However, the current situation is not much different from the first time I went to Gerun Oasis to perform the task. At least I can find similarities in my mood.

　　 is the front line next to the land of the common country in the distant sea, and the direction is toward the true north. When it came out, the sky of Messeria was already covered with dark clouds. Soon after the airship took off, through the round windows in the room, it could be seen that a layer of mottled color had been formed on the bronze iron. Of ice.

The height of 　　 was raised in a short time after the airship shook violently. When I came to the sky, there was a cloud layer like a brand-new big 6 below. The sunlight that had not been seen for a long time in winter can be seen through the window at this time, and the cloud layer is also brightened.

　　 Cassia just sat by the window and read the borrowed books, looking at the scenery outside that hadn't changed much for a long time. The sky is always deep blue, really like a quiet lake, it seems that everything can be absorbed and swallowed.

　　 That is the deep blue sky, and it is also one of the current taboo areas of mankind. It is shrouded by powerful air currents without the slightest regularity. The cruiser-class airship can last no more than a minute in it, and this is the result of carrying the steam furnace and other numerical loads. The time has stayed for a long time. When the various stresses gathered on the airship reach a critical point, it usually explodes after a negotiation, turning a cruiser-class commercial airship with a body length of more than 400 meters into Fragments in the sky are not difficult.

　　 Cassia knew all of this, and it all got it from the book. It was the experiment of scientists, the airship tests of various levels, and the control seemed to rely on some trained prisoners on death row. Because of the special weather in the deep blue sky, the radio signal will be greatly disturbed. Except for its own internal wiring, external signals are no longer capable of receiving it.

　　 There is no exception in the book, and military use is not included in the calculation. Finally, the introduction of military airships is just a sentence that can barely sail in the low-level deep blue field, that's it.

　　 What is the difference between commercial and military? Cassia hasn’t had a specific concept in his head. It may also be because he has never actually seen a military airship until now. When returning to Manoma from the Oria region before, he had boarded a modified airship used by Weber to transport arms. Although in appearance, all the airships of the Empire have an unavoidable bloated stature, and the installation positions of the lift devices are mostly the same, but on the airship of Webley, you can still see some that were later welded on. Shadow of the steel plate. It seems to be the position of the dismantled gun barrel, or the most common weapon of airships-the launching device of aerial projectiles. The number is very large. For an airship, it is definitely a design that is completely disproportionate to its size, covering its entire body. A volley, the firepower covered will definitely be visible terror.

　　The time to sail in the sky is only three days. The more you go north and the closer you are to the common country in the distant seas, the more obvious the cold climate of the empire changes. Although the temperature has not risen by more than ten degrees, most of the snow clouds that have been gathering in the sky have disappeared here.

　　Kassia remembers that in three days, this commercial airship occasionally flew low, and at that time a piece of white underneath could be seen. There are many areas with heavy snow, but as time goes by, this phenomenon gradually decreases.

When Cassia got off the airship and rushed to catch up with the high train schedule, the regional weather was mostly out of the snow, the temperature was as cold, but the sky remained clear, and there were rare signs of snow. . The falling white snow will be a relatively rare thing for people close to the common country in the distant sea.

　　 If it were not for the fact that many mountains of varying heights existed on the junction of the Empire and the Far Sea Common Country, the hot wind brought here from the central ocean current belt would erode more areas of the Empire.

　　 The next three days of the journey were all travelling by different high trains. It’s very close to the frontline here~www.ltnovel.com~ The three-day sailing distance of the airship is not comparable to the high train. It's just that the closer the position is to the front, many commercial equipment don't have the mood to want to do business in the past. Even though there is still a long period of barren land that has been deliberately isolated between the boundary of life and the battle line, only the railway tracks of the empire have been laid here without calculating the cost. On the one hand, it is used for civilian purposes, but more importantly, it is the exclusive railway line of the imperial side. Machine parts and ammunition are mostly transported by railway line during peacetime. It only takes an imperial rearrangement to go back and forth, and it can often last a long time, as long as the high-ranking officials in the military do not have a particularly large appetite.

　　 The lights on the horizon are no longer visible at night. Here, when the distance between the position and the battle line exceeds a certain value, the population begins to decrease in steps. It is very difficult for a cohesive city to appear here, and the population is completely insufficient to support such construction and consumption.

　　 On the last day, the outside of the high-speed train was almost desolate. It is all weeds that have been turned into grayish yellow by winter frost. Bare groves often appear on both sides of the railway, and rivers covered with rubble have become more common. The terrain has also begun to show signs of change here. A few of the ground has begun to uplift soil packs of various sizes, and the exposed rocks have also increased. The soil layer seems to have become thinner. This is what Cassia saw when he got off the train after the high train stopped at the penultimate station. The station here seems to be being rebuilt, with many crane towers erected on the side of the old station. It is a little different from the station in the center of the Empire, and most of the stations here are open-air. There is only a tin rain shed at the platform where the goods are moved. 8
