Chapter 74 "32"

Ultra-high-speed vacuum superconducting subway, although I have heard of this kind of thing before...

But because I was locked in the military facilities of the empire, I didn't seem to have any special needs, so I didn't have the opportunity to move over such long distances.

If there is anything that needs to be moved short distances, they will also sit on those navy ground effect boats.

To be honest, I have even taken a starship and a carrier-based aircraft, but I have not experienced this long-distance public transportation.

It's funny to say that, although there have been several technological revolutions before, the superconducting train has been unable to run stably due to the delay in breaking through the electromagnetic confinement technology.

At the same time, there are also rechargeable high-energy magnetic rail weapons and ion constant shield generators. This can be regarded as another limit breakthrough of human technology, right?

"I guess you must not have an ID card."

Just when I was in a daze, Eiffel, who was waiting for the security check, suddenly turned around and said to me with a mysterious smile.

Having said that, the gates at the front entrance are all terminals, right?

That's right, of course you need to buy a ticket to take the subway, and of course you need a means of payment, but all the people in front of them seem to be using the alliance's ID card, and a purple-gray card, maybe a local ID card or a subway operator Issued a ticket, right?

"The ones in front, go forward!"

The people behind kept urging me with a strange accent in Union, but seeing that Eiffel was not worried at all, I could only try to keep up with the people in front.

The security check speed is actually very fast, you only need to go through the channel indicated by the security check, but because only one security machine is running in the entire channel, it has become a situation where you have to keep walking forward despite queuing up.

I almost forgot that I am a smuggling maniac, I only have an identity card of the empire, and even because of the strange way of entering the country, I can't guarantee whether my identity card has a valid visa for the alliance customs...

"Why, if I'm not wrong, you should be able to swipe your ID card a few more times, right?"

If he could have guessed from the beginning that I might not be able to use the official identification of the alliance due to various reasons, and brought me to this kind of place without any scruples, then there should be other ways .

But now I guess, of course I choose this simpler answer first, after all... this guy doesn't look like a person with more ghost ideas.

It's just that this guy just laughed without saying a word, and I can only maintain this uncomfortable state of half-belief.

It is said to be a security inspection machine, but it is actually more like a holographic projection. People can pass through the security check as long as they walk in front of the projector.

I don't know the principle or something, maybe it has something to do with some advanced scanning technology.

My face may not have been recognized when I walked past, but the surrounding staff didn't seem to have any intention of blocking me, and I entered the traffic facility naturally.

Maybe as long as I don't carry prohibited items, no one will stop me?

Eiffel seems to be in a pretty good mood now. Adding his mysterious and secretive appearance before, he probably wants to show off something to me, right?

Is it a way to get me on the train without any ID at all?
Then do I need to continue to actively ask him, or should I praise him after he has performed well?

It seems that our Eiffel seems to have not grown up yet.

"Why, are you still cheating on me?"

"Don't you want to show me your tricks of cheating?"

Let's just try to satisfy his vanity.

"Hey, because I use this!"

While half-talking, Eiffel took out something that looked like an ID card and shook it at me from nowhere. The whole process was smooth and smooth, and it seemed that he was ready to do this.

Alliance researcher...

After seeing clearly the card in my hand, I was almost amused by the photo above.

"So you shaved your head before?"

"Ah, don't talk about this anymore. If it weren't for the fact that you are not allowed to change the photos in the system at will, I would have..."

As if realizing something, Eiffel glared at me and then suddenly fell silent again.

"Then can this card of yours take me in?"

Let's go back to the link of letting him show himself first.

"Well, certified alliance researchers do not need to accept this general inspection, and researchers of different levels can bring teams of different sizes. The lowest level like me can just bring one person."

Eiffel also brushed it on the terminal while speaking, and the color of the gate soon turned green, and the channel was opened.

"You have to go in first."

Eiffel motioned to me, and I officially entered without any hindrance...

Wait, so if I am a terrorist, or an agent of the Empire or something, and want to destroy these infrastructures of the Alliance, it only needs to be...not right.

When we came in, we had already gone through the official security check. Although Eiffel also said that we don’t need to go through the normal security check, if we refused the security check there, it would probably trigger an “unusual” security check, right?
So in fact, this can't do any damage, at most it can escape a ticket.

In fact, this is actually the welfare that a country grants to so-called researchers, and it seems that he obtained this status by following Prussia. He himself said that this is the "lowest" status.

"So apart from being able to ride like this, does it have any other small benefits?"

"Well, can you still buy some products in a specific mall?"

"Oh yes, you can watch two movies for free in the planetary month of each location."

Ok……

The underground part here is not as grand as I imagined, not even big.

It is two giant capsules that can just complete the function of stopping the train, simply side by side sandwiching the platform in the middle where we are.

"Towards the direction of Toliman Central City, we will get on the bus here."

The holographic image on the top of the platform is constantly broadcasting the weather nearby, the fast-food garbage advertisements that people don't know what to evaluate, and the information about how long the next train will arrive here.

The remaining time is about 4 minutes, and the instant speed is 7932kM/h, which is indeed a very outrageous speed.

Observing these local passengers in the station, most of them seem to have no energy, and even some of them seem to be drowsy. Is it caused by the super long planetary day here?

The people here are not used to it... I don't know if there is any other special reason.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but start to worry about my future life, can I get used to it?

"As an aerospace university, we should serve the navy in the future, right?"

Although I know that this kind of question that I ask knowingly has no effect at all, but it still has a certain effect as the beginning of a topic.

As we all know, I am a novice who knows nothing, and I should show a high degree of interest in various issues.

"Generally speaking, yes."

"So will we end up being assigned to warships?"

People kept coming and going around, so I could only lower my voice slightly and ask in a low voice.

"Basically all of you will be assigned to the navy, those in the command department will be assigned to combat positions, and those in the engineering department may also be stationed in facilities. This is all uncertain."

So that means I might as well stay on the ground.

Judging from the previous chat with Kalinin in the car, there is a high probability that I will become a carrier-based aircraft pilot in the future...

The Liangzi with this thing in this life can be regarded as a knot.

"Why, don't you want to join the Union Navy?"

Perhaps seeing that my attitude was not as positive as he imagined, Eiffel also asked me such a question in turn.

"That's not true, but I'm curious about what kind of warship I will board in the future."

Nonsense, of course this kind of answer can't be said!

During the conversation, the waiting platform, which was originally not bright, suddenly brightened, and the arc-shaped wall in front of us also began to become clear following the changes in the ambient light.

Is there a car coming in?

So it turns out these walls are all display screens?
Alternating yellow and red strips appeared on the outline of the originally colorless places, and warning signs indicating that no passage also appeared on the walls.

So the car coming into the station should be in our direction.

And these places are indeed protected by fences...

It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

"呲~"

The sound of a gas seal breaking, like a bomb exploding in a jar, is noticeable but slowly fading away.

"The car is here."

The screen door is a screen hidden on the wall. I thought of it, but what surprised me was the environment on the car. Rounding it up is the same as taking a long-distance passenger ship. long aisle.

A long carriage is not so much a railway as it is a passenger car running on the track.

Soon, Eiffel and Eiffel found the enemy to sit down. The advantage of such a huge capacity is that there is no need to worry about finding a place.

"I never took such a vehicle when I was in the empire!"

Although I feel nothing new in my heart, I still can't bear to hit Eiffel's confident appearance.

Let’s just say a word of truth and let him continue this happy state of mind-I really haven’t taken such a vehicle in the empire.

"Is it is it."

"Yes, at least where I live, this kind of transportation is not common."

The vehicle started very smoothly, and there was no such popping sound. There were still 6 minutes before the next station, and it would not be too close including the starting and braking time.

It's a really big, ridiculous planet...
