Struggle in the Steam Age

"And after we have inspected all those industries, we can take a good stroll around the city of Baojian Bay and the surrounding forests and mountains." Lawrence said as he took out a map, and then put the map on it. Some contents were pointed out to Nora.

"Before in Pine Valley, I met many members of the National Guard from Baojian Bay. They said that their area is one of the best places to travel in the White Eagle Federation."

"Baojian Bay City, is this place really interesting?" After listening to Lawrence's plan, Syfiel asked curiously.

"I looked at the reports before. The above only said that Baojianwan is an important light industrial city in the northern part of the federal government, mainly food processing and textile industries. It did not say that it is suitable for travel."

"And according to your statement, the main scenic spots in that area are some standard rural customs. I have to say that this kind of location may be very attractive to those who have lived in the city since childhood.

But for wild girls and wild boys like us who were born in the countryside, these countryside scenery should be quite boring and nothing to see. "

It's not surprising that Syphil had this idea, after all, she and Lawrence had lived in the White Eagle Federation countryside before they went to school. Therefore, it is natural that these farms in the New World cannot be lifted up.

Just like everyone will miss their hometown, but if you travel, you will definitely not choose a place that is almost the same as the hometown scenery.

"No, no, there are some differences between villages and villages." Lawrence shook his right hand and said, "For example, our hometown is actually a standard New World village, but the villages around Baojianwan City are not the same. ."

"At the time when the Commonwealth had not gained independence from Briton, this area became a place for those high-level Britons who came to the New World to travel because it resembled the terrain around Windermere Lake Briton."

"After the independence of the Federation, those private properties that originally belonged to the upper class of Briton Tun did not change their owners. Instead, more upstarts built more holiday villas and even manors here."

"Although with the passage of time, various farms or pastures have been gradually developed in these places where there were only a few holiday estates. The entire area has also changed from the original pure natural scenery to the current one. A core area dominated by animal husbandry."

"Even so, the earliest developed lakeshore and the surrounding mountains and forests still maintain the most primitive appearance. Because for the upper class people, a very good resort is far more important than some farms. "

"You mean the Briton style farm?" After hearing Lawrence's explanation, Syfiel immediately became interested.

"Although I went to school in Briton before, I spent most of my time in the college located in the city. So I haven't visited the countryside of Briton, let alone the scenic spots. ."

"So we can just go to those attractions this time to get better." Lawrence said with a smile on his face. "Although this place is not on Briton Island, but based on the information I found before, the nobles consider Sword Bay to be a top vacation spot comparable to the surrounding area of ​​Windermere Lake in Briton."

"If this is the case, it is indeed a good place for us to travel." After hearing what Lawrence said, Syfiel nodded and said.

"By the way, how long will it take for us to deal with the local business this time? We won't stay in the office or room to handle official business until the end. If that is the case, I think it is enough to deal with it here, there is no need Specially went to the scenic spot to handle official affairs."

"We don't have to deal with many official duties this time." Lawrence said with a smile, "At least the last time we cleaned up the **** who had ganged up with the wild races, we specially assigned professionals from the island to replace them From the current reports, everyone should be doing very well, so we should not spend much time checking those industries."

After resting for a whole day in a hotel in Huguang City, Lawrence and the others chose to take a regular boat from the port to Baojian Bay.

After all, compared with taking a train around a big bend, those steamer boats across the Great Lake will save time. In just one day, they successfully reached the destination on the north side of the lake from the southernmost side of the lake.

"It feels a bit bad. I haven't felt so dizzy after a few days in the sea boat." After landing, Saifei retched on the railing of the trestle bridge for a while before he recovered.

"No way, because the liner is fast enough, so they can only install a steam engine on it." Lawrence explained as he took out a bottle of water and handed it to Sefei.

"You know, after installing a steam engine on this kind of boat, the whole ship will shake very much. In addition, the too small tonnage of the ship makes it easier for the ship to shake, so seasickness is inevitable."

"So let's take the train when we go back." Safir rinsed your mouth and drank two sips of water. For boat trips, I think that kind of boring is tolerable."

"Well, we'll take the train when we go back." Lawrence said, helping Syfiel, who was a little weak, walked out of the dock. While on the way, Syfiel asked Lawrence to talk about some of the information in the travel brochures that he had read on the ship for distraction and discomfort.

"This city is built with two mage towers as the core." Said Safir pointed at a tall black and white tower that stands in the most conspicuous place in the center of the city. "The White Eagle Federation actually prefers to build large-scale mage towers that are collectively owned, and only these old colonies have such traditional private mage towers."

"The reason why the Mage Tower was built here was originally to serve as a support point for the development of the Great Lakes region, to resist the offensive of the wild races.

"Although the surrounding wilderness races had declined when the two mage towers were built. However, due to their repeated siege of Huguang City, for safety reasons, Briton was stationed in the Northland of the New World. The governor of the United States still ordered the establishment of two mage towers in this area in order to support each other with Huguang City."

"Time has changed, as the surrounding wilderness species are completely suppressed. Naturally, this mage tower has lost most of its role. Now apart from providing some defense when the fishmen in the lake attack, this tower is the only The function is to provide defense against the city through space interference~www.ltnovel.com~ Lawrence nodded and said that he understands why this was done at the time. If this space is completely released without disturbing the surrounding space, then it will be easy. The enemy rushed directly into the urban area and caused massive casualties and losses.

You should know that the people who stayed in this place were all high-ranking officials, and if one or two died accidentally in the attack, it would be a big trouble. At least at the time, it was definitely not a guilt that the governor of the colony could bear.

And if you change to some more important big cities, the defense will be more tight than here. For example, there are three magic towers in Eagle Fort that form a double defense.

Even if someone can destroy the outer defense formed by one of the magic towers, the two magic towers in the inner circle can still provide sufficient defense for the entire city.

After exiting the pier, Lawrence and Syfiel got into a carriage that was slightly gorgeous but did not have a noble badge.

Because Lawrence had previously telegraphed that he wanted to take a look at these industries without disturbing most of the people, the housekeeper Rena, who served as the general manager here, just sent her son to pick up Lawrence and them in person.
