Chapter 404: Isolation (II)

Traveling in a commercial airship, an airship designed for guests is rare in the Empire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the ticket is expensive per person, it is not a good deal compared to the cost of the airship itself, regardless of the size and class. The general mode is to mainly carry all kinds of commercial goods, assisted by passengers.

The battle line was specially selected according to the location of Messiria, not only considering the convenience of the itinerary, the number of events on the front, but also the number of people sent by the hostile countries to the front to take into account one of the criteria. There is some pressure on the current Kasia, after all, it is the first time to go. Even in the military school, it can be regarded as well-trained, and the ability to withstand all kinds of emergencies is very strong. However, the current situation is not much different from the first time I went to Gerun Oasis to carry out a mission, at least I can find some similarities in my mood.

It is a battle line that is close to the territory of the common country of the open sea, and the direction is due north. At the time of departure, the sky of the Messilia was already full of black clouds, and shortly after takeoff, the airship could see through the round windows in the room that a layer of mottled ice had formed on the bronze iron sheet.

The altitude was raised in a short period of time after the airship shook violently. When I came to the sky, below was a cloud that looked like a new continent, and the sunlight that had not been seen for a long time in winter could be seen through the window, and the clouds were also brightened.

Kasia sat by the window and looked at the borrowed books, looking out at things that hadn't changed much in a long time. The sky was still the same deep blue, really like a silent lake, as if it could absorb and swallow everything.

It was high in the deep blue sky, and it was also one of the forbidden realms of human beings, and it was shrouded by the powerful air currents that had no laws all year round. The cruiser-class airship could last no more than a minute, and this was the result of overloading the steam furnace and other values. Time has stayed for a long time, and when the various stresses accumulated on the airship reach a critical point, they will erupt in an instant, and it will not be difficult to turn a cruiser-level commercial airship with a body length of more than 400 meters into debris.

Kasia knew all of this, and it was all from the book, which was the experiment of scientists, the tests of airships of various levels, and the override seemed to rely on some trained death row inmates. Due to the special climate in the deep blue sky, the radio signal will be greatly interfered with, and the external signal is no longer able to accept it except for its own internal lines.

In the end, without exception, the book did not include military use in the scope of calculation. Finally, the introduction of military airships is just a sentence that can barely sail in the low-level deep blue field, and that's it.

What is the difference between commercial and military use, Kasia still does not have a specific concept in his head. Maybe it's also because he hasn't really seen a military airship once until now. When he had returned to Manoma from the Oria region, he had taken a modified airship used by Webley to transport munitions. Although in appearance, all the airships of the empire have an unavoidable excessive bloated body, and most of the lifting devices are installed in the same position, but on Webley's airship, you can still see some shadows of steel plates that were welded up later. It seems to be the location of the dismantled barrel, or the launcher of the aerial bomb, which is the most common weapon of airships. There are a lot of them, and for an airship, it's definitely a design that doesn't match its size, and it's all over its body. With a salvo, the covered firepower will definitely be visible horror.

The time to sail in the sky was only three days, and the farther north you went, the closer you got to the Common Sea of the Far Sea, the more noticeable the cold climate that prevailed in the empire changed. Although the temperature has not skyrocketed by more than ten degrees, most of the snow clouds that have been gathering in the sky have disappeared here.

Kasia remembers that for three days, the commercial airship occasionally flew low, and at that point a patch of white could be seen below. There are many areas with heavy snowfall, but as time goes by, this phenomenon gradually decreases.

By the time Kasia got off the airship and hurried to catch up with the high-speed train schedule, most of the regional weather had been separated from the snow, and the temperature was as cold, but the sky had remained clear, and there were rare signs of snow. The white snowflakes that fall are a rare occurrence for people who are close to the Far Sea Commonwealth.

If it weren't for the fact that many mountains of varying heights existed along the border between the Empire and the High Sea Commons, the hot winds brought here from the central current would have eroded more of the Empire.

The next three days of the journey were all on different high-speed trains. It's so close to the battle line, and the three-day distance of the airship is not comparable to that of a high-speed train. It's just that the closer it is to the battle line, many commercial equipment is not in the mood to do business in the past. Even though there was still a long stretch of barren land that had been deliberately isolated between the living realm and the battle line, only the railroad tracks of the Empire had been laid here without counting the cost. On the one hand, it was used for civilian use, but more importantly, it was used as the exclusive railway line of the imperial military, and most of the machine parts and ammunition were transported by railway lines in peacetime. It only takes one imperial retrain to go back and forth, and it can often last a long time, as long as the high-ranking officials in the military department don't have a particularly big 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 a stepwise manner. It is difficult for a large city to be present 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 already more or less desolate. Patches of weeds that have been turned gray and yellow by the winter frost, bare groves often appear on both sides of the railway, and rivers covered with gravel have become a bit common. The terrain has also begun to show signs of change, and a few of the ground have begun to bulge with mounds of different sizes, and more exposed rocks have increased. The dirt layer seems to have become thinner, which is what Kasia saw when he got off the train after the high-speed train stopped for trimming at the penultimate station. It seems that the station is being rebuilt, and many of the cranes are built on one side of the old station. It's a little different from the stations in the center of the empire, and most of the stations here are open-air. Only the platform where the goods are carried has a tin canopy.
