Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 83 Tram
"It's up to you to drive." Shang Luo took a step back, one step away from the console: "So, how to operate?"

[It's too troublesome to take me out of the phone again, I'm quite comfortable staying in it.Wait a minute, I'll add a function to it.Beep beep, beep beep. 】

"Done yet?"

[OK, do you see, there is an airplane mode switch on the desktop, after pressing it, I can fly the plane.After you click on it, I will restrain all non-essential functions, disconnect from the Akashic records, and focus on the things in front of me.This is a switch. 】

"Is this necessary?"

【necessary.You're going to be on Introduction to the Occult this weekend, aren't you?You will understand after reading it.But I can give you a more vivid example.Have you seen Harry Potter?In Harry Potter, Hogwarts students practice using wands to cast spells.But there is also a magic school in Africa where they practice spellcasting without a wand.Actually most modern wizards use wands, do you know why? 】

"It's also because of the switch?"

【Yes.From the perspective of mysticism, magic needs a switch.Because if you don't join the 'switch', then every action of yours may have a mystical meaning, which will bring unpredictable consequences - because being everywhere means not being everywhere, and only extremely powerful inhibition can control this. kind of uncertainty.This ability may even become the ultimate punishment: ancient Greek mythology, for example, has the story of King Midas and Goldfinger.The king's touch turns everything into gold, but every 'touch' of his turns things into gold, and he is almost killed; this is a limit case, let's say no limit, such as the left eye jumps rich and the right eye jumps disaster.Do you wish that every time you twitch you get rich and every time you twitch you get disaster? 】

"That's still unnecessary."

[So this is the case.The switch is a self-limiting measure for me, because I don't have the energy to check whether each of my work has occult meanings.So let's just get a switch that narrows my possibilities, but also makes it easier for me to function—for you and for me.In addition, adding a switch also has many other benefits. For example, this allows each caster to obtain a similar effect through a similar cause without going too far. 】

"Is occultism such a troublesome thing?"

[You haven't learned anything, and suddenly you hear such troublesome self-built spells, then of course you won't understand.When you finish the class, you will almost understand it.If you don't understand, I can make up for you. Take it easy.Just like Taoist ancestor can bring out the alchemy of the emperor with his own hands, I can also bring out your occult attainments.The reason why learning is learning is because it has a path to learn. 】

"You finally have some use"

[I've always been very useful, okay?Now, press the button~ After holding back for so long, I want to experience the beauty of the real world. 】

Shangluo pressed "airplane mode".The whole car "shocked" violently-but it seemed to be just a psychological effect.The car itself did not move, but he felt the vibration.

But as Apollonia plugged into the train's operation, the train itself really started to move.

The electric brake in the car fell, and the commutator moved to the forward direction by itself.

"It's gone? It's gone? Shouldn't you get into the car and do some secret operations?"

[Please, would you need to consume phlogiston, okay?It's just a small train, so what to do seriously.And I thought of a compromise just now - any movement that requires force will consume phlogiston.Flicking the switch is nothing, and it's easy to pull a switch.But I just tried the speed control handle, and it is quite heavy.So let's divide the work, I will operate the other parts, and you can control the speed. 】

"Automatic, right?"

[Ah, yes, you can use it as an automatic transmission.That way we can both have fun driving, and you just ate a lot of meat, you have more power than me now.Poor Apollonia is still hungry. 】

"So, start?"

【good!Apollonia, let's go! 】

The flop display in front of the vehicle turned over afterimages, skipped a series of commonly used Chinese characters, and jumped to the part of phonetic symbols.On the "water sign" originally used to display the train number, now the train number of "Apolonia" is hung high.

[Platform on the left, close the left door.The instruction is correct, the certificate is correct, and the car will drive on time. 】

[Let you drive at the right time, cooperate and pull up the handle!Can you understand the mood of railway fans?Do you know how beautiful the train is?Ah, the beauty of human machinery, the small front of the car has moved the whole world towards civilization.What a noble and interesting profession a train driver is, I have been waiting for a day for a long time~]

"Okay, okay, let's cooperate with you. Drive at the right time!" Shang Luo turned the speed control handle clockwise and adjusted it to the first gear.

[Okay, now start to accelerate.I will operate the others, and you will shift up a gear every three seconds.Gear up, gear up! 】

In just 10 minutes, Shangluo felt as if a century had passed.Sure enough, the driver is a professional job. Just one operation of the speed control handle made him not stop for 10 minutes.But this also surprised him, because it was the first time that Apollonia had developed a strong interest in something.She really likes trains.

[Ah, the happy time is so short, there is only one stop. 】

This train can only have one stop.One stop away is the main line of Xiamafang subway station, and it will be troublesome to go outside.Because the car wasn't on any dispatch room records, no one knew it was sitting just a wall away from the main line.

At 06:30 in the morning, the morning tram is about to enter the station.Across the wall, passengers have already entered the Xiamafang subway station.

Shangluo also got off the train here - if he drove a little further, other passengers in the subway station would be able to see this mini train coming into the station.

Directly opposite the car door, there is a small door that looks like a staff passage.According to Zhu Xianxi's introduction, he got off from here before, and then entered the station through the staff passage to take the main line train.

"Wait." Standing on the platform, Shangluo discovered an important problem: "It's over! I entered the station without buying a ticket, what should I do when I get off? I can't evade the fare on the first day of school! And You can’t escape at all, someone cuts the corners of the ticket at every ticket gate, and you can’t get out without a ticket.”

[It's okay, your acting skills are not bad, right?Let’s say you lost your ticket and go to get a new one. 】

"But I can't always say that I lost the ticket, can I? I don't just use it once."

[Well, now is the time to test your acting skills. 】

"Uncle~" Shang Luo stood outside the ticket window, still carrying a schoolbag.

"Is there something wrong?" The old man at the ticket window raised his glasses and glanced at him.

"I accidentally lost my ticket, I think."

The old man inside suddenly lit up:
"You bought a ticket when you entered the station, and then lost it on the platform, so you came up to make up for it? From Xiamafang to Confucius Temple, right? Why another one?"

"No, no, from Xiamafang to Mount Wutai. Was it the same before?"

"When I first came to work here, there was a kid who was about your age who came to my place every three days to pay for the fare, and he always wore a mask. I think it has been many years, and now I can occasionally see him going to Mount Wutai. Right? Take a look at your student ID card, and I'll give you a half-price student ticket. Well, it's ready, and 5 Wen is just right. I'll give you the ticket."
