Chapter 146 The breath of a prosperous metropolis

?

The scale of Blackstone City is not very large. Along the way, the Cyclops headed north, Dong Chen met several cities, including second-level cities like Blackstone City, and first-level cities larger than Blackstone City.

He originally had no specific concept of this, but after actual comparison, he understood.

Others may not be able to see clearly in the sky, but at most they just want to appreciate the scenery or something. However, with the cooperation of the Book of Heaven, Dong Chen saw clearly after comparing the graphic comparison of the Book of Heaven.

Regardless of whether it is the size of the city or the density of surrounding towns and villages, Blackstone City has a certain gap compared to first-class cities.

Of course, this is from the surface.

The people of the Black Stone City Science and Technology God Cult are very confident. Dong Chen has paid a little attention to the issue of urban upgrading. After all, his appearance gave Black Stone City Science and Technology God Cult more confidence, and Su Rui and Gangyu have talked to him.

After the Blackstone City Science and Technology God Cult meets all the conditions and is promoted to a first-level branch, then the City Lord's Mansion makes some preparations and completes some conditions. After the city main body and the city's Science and Technology God Cult reach the first level, Blackstone City can become a first-level city.

There are many benefits to improving the city level. The easiest thing is that the empire's finances can allocate more, which is also one of the reasons why cities are willing to obey the empire's orders.

Moreover, after upgrading, it is very useful to be able to expand the army legitimately, whether it is to defend the safety of the city, to make achievements on the battlefield of East-West War, to enhance the reputation of your city, or to do something else.

Although each city has its own industries and can also secretly get some manpower, the army just burns money, so there are not many people who can play this.

The most important thing is that if you are justified, it is still very important.

A day later, the Cyclops landed in a first-class city, replenished some fuel and water, cleaned up the toilet to survive, and the passengers also released air on the ground, and then took off toward their destination.

If you land again next time, it will be the imperial capital.

The scenery along the way is pretty good, especially in this world where there are few people, with undulating mountains and lush forests below, and you can often see groups of winged dragons flying by the airship.

I don't know if the airship is big enough, or if these pterosaurs have been beaten by other powerful crossbows on the route, they did not come over to have an intimate contact with the Cyclops, but even so, they could see the passengers on the airship screaming.

Their appearance also made the crossbowmen more alert, and who knew whether they would rush over like crazy.

It is one thing to look up at these beasts in the air on the ground, and looking at these beasts in the sky is another thing, especially when humans cannot fly by themselves and can only rely on airships.

Even if you stand steadily, you don’t have a solid support. Not to mention being striking, you have no place to hide. If something happens, it’s a promise of faith, so humans sometimes follow the heart.

After approaching the imperial capital, the height of the airship also decreased a lot, and Dong Chen also saw this different level of city.

Although the scale is definitely not as large as the city on Earth, nor any tall buildings, the tall and large city walls alone are very imposing.

Moreover, from the sky, it is not only the second level. It has two circles of city walls in the first level city. It can be seen that it is too prosperous. The first circle of city walls cannot be occupied, and another circle of city walls has been formed.

There are already many buildings outside the exterior walls. I believe that in a few years, the third circle of the city wall will be put on the construction agenda.

To build such a city wall, the project volume is huge. Without some people or skills, it is impossible to play.

"It is worthy of being the imperial capital, it is so prosperous than Black Stone City!"

Dong Chen tilted his head and looked at the big city below and sighed.

"Of course, this is the imperial capital, the most prosperous city in Oriental Great Six," Vatra looked down with a smile, "It's a little more prosperous than when I came last time, and it's showing too fast!"

When the Cyclops was already flying very low and were about to fly over the outer wall to enter the outer city, the Cyclops they were riding was an airship belonging to the Air Transport Chamber of Commerce under the headquarters of the Science and Technology God Cult. They could fly directly into the inner city, so there was no need to land at the airship landing ground in the outer city.

Dong Chen saw that beast cars were coming and going on the streets of the Imperial Capital, and there were also a lot of pedestrians, which were extremely prosperous. There were also airships taking off and landing in the landing grounds of the outer city airships not far away. He also saw that the road was being built below, and two steam...road rollers.

The steam roller looks like a shrinking locomotive, but the small wheels are replaced with large mills, two large steel mills, one in front and one behind, and the boiler is in the middle, and smoke is constantly coming out of the chimney.

The driver sat in front to control the direction and degree of the vehicle, while a furnace steerer loaded coal into the boiler in the middle, but he didn't have to stop loading, so he would walk around the vehicle from time to time to see the working conditions of the vehicle.

Two steam rollers slowly crushed the gravel on the solid roadbed neatly, and people kept scooping water on the beast cart back and forth, which made Dong Chen think of some kind of rolling method for water-building gravel roads, but he didn't know if it was.

Unable to think that the Cyclops had crossed the outer wall, flew over the road construction part, and flew straight towards the inner city. Dong Chen found that the inner city's buildings were obviously older than the outer city, and were not as tall as the outer city. However, this is the most essence of the imperial capital, and various buildings have a very strong artistic and historical atmosphere.

There are many tall buildings in the outer city. The tallest building in Blackstone City is the nine-story Science and Technology God Cult building, and there are only one. The nine-story building here cannot be said to be ordinary, but there are definitely many, one by one. Dong Chen saw the twelve-story building.

Dong Chen had never seen any running steam equipment in the city. It seems that the steam roller is the first step for steam cars. The roads in the city are all stone roads, which cannot withstand the troubles of the rollers.

However, there are already presses paving the road outside the city. I believe that steam cars are already under planning. People from the Science and Technology God will definitely not be satisfied to let the steam engine run only on the rails.

In addition to steam transport tools on the road, the most common thing Dong Chen saw was the towering chimneys, which is also a major feature of the steam era.

However, looking at the blue sky of the imperial capital, it can be seen that the changes brought to the imperial capital by the steam era are not very big, at least the haze and other things have not been seen yet.

After the spaceship landed, the convoy who picked them up also arrived, pulled up the luggage unloaded from the airship and left the airship landing ground.

Watla was naturally in the same car as Dong Chen. After all, he was entrusted to take care of Dong Chen. The one who pulled the car was a short-horned deer, and the socks on the four hooves collided with the stone roads.

Vatra looked at the scene outside and took a deep breath, "It's still a familiar smell, I can smell the prosperity of the imperial capital at once."

Dong Chen looked outside. There were many beast carriages and pedestrians coming and going, but it tasted...

He looked at the animal feces everywhere, but he didn't dare to breathe heavily.

This is probably the prosperity of this era. There are many people, many cars, and many dads...
