Chapter 323 What is this?

Sun Chuanting widened his eyes and rubbed his eyes with both hands, as if he was disbelief.

I saw a series of lanterns hanging on both sides of the main street of Haizhou City, illuminating the nearby areas as in the daytime. The pedestrians and carriages traveled freely with the help of this light.

"Luxury, extravagant and extravagant!" Sun Chuanting said hatefully, "How can you light up so many candles and consume them overnight like a mountain. It's really a waste. Our Ming Dynasty does not have enough money and food to provide disaster relief, but you..."

The soldiers responsible for protecting them looked at each other, and then laughed relievedly.

"Haha, sir, this is not a lantern. This is an electric light, also called a street light. It has only been installed in recent months. It can help with lighting without candles." The captain smiled.

"What electric light? Thunder and lightning can also be used as lanterns?" Sun Chuanting said strangely.

"I don't believe it, come and take a look."

"I have to have a good experience!" Sun Chuanting never believed this lighting object without a candle, can it be used for lightning?

He got off the carriage and then walked towards a street lamp. The street lamp was hung above an iron pillar, and the dazzling light made Sun Chuanting, who was looking directly at it, dizzy.

"Ah, my eyes..." Sun Chuanting stared at the street lights for four or five seconds and couldn't stand the strong lights.

But in just four or five seconds, he could see clearly that the street lamp was not filled with candles, and even the candles could not emit such a strong light.

"Sir, this thing is as dazzling as the sun. Do not look directly at it, otherwise it will hurt your eyes." The soldier quickly dissuaded Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting covered his eyes with his hands and rubbed them. Tears overflowed, which made him feel a little better: "I am better. What is this? Why can I emit such a strong light without using candles or flames?"

"The villain already has something to say first. This object is an electric light, and the villain doesn't know how it is bright. However, this object is not bright during the day, and it will only shine when the night is dark, guiding the way for the night walkers." The soldier said.

"There is such a magical thing in Liaodong? I am really curious. This thing does not require fire, what is it used?" Sun Chuanting still looked at the electric light unwillingly, but there was another dazzling sense of pain.

"Sir, please follow us to the inn. If you are interested, maybe you can ask the military commander in detail after you meet our military commander." The soldier said.

"Okay, take us to the inn." Sun Chuanting was puzzled. If he continued to struggle, he would only increase his pain. Then let Chu Yun resolve the doubts in his heart.

The group came to the inn in Haizhou City. The inn had not used civilian electric lights, and the candles were lit inside. The unique dim light of the candle made Sun Chuanting and others who came from the pass and other people who had never cared about it actually made them feel so friendly.

"Haizhou City has changed a lot in ten years. I don't know it anymore, and I don't know it at all." The driver who drove the car shouted.

Before he entered Haizhou City, he found that Haizhou City had undergone tremendous changes. When he entered the city, he was stunned by the street lights. He could not tell the difference between the north and the south in a daze, let alone the Haizhou City he had left for thirteen years.

"Everyone, you can stay here. Don't go out at will at night, otherwise we will be investigated if we cause any major disaster." The escort team leader sent them into their respective shops.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sun Chuanting closed the door.

Everything in the house is similar to that inns within the pass, making Sun Chuanting more comfortable. Finally, I didn't see anything strange.

Sun Chuanting shook his head, went to the desk, picked up the brush, and recorded what he saw and heard today.

"...There is something called a light, which is better than a lantern. The streets are like daylight, which is strange... People here are extremely dangerous, not like loyal to the emperor and serving the country, and randomly distorting Confucianism is actually heretic..."

When Sun Chuanting wrote, he felt that he didn't even believe it, as if he was writing strange stories such as "Shan Hai Jing".

"I wonder if the emperor will think I am crazy after returning to the capital and submitting such memorials to the emperor." Sun Chuanting closed the records and carefully hid them in his clothes. Then he fell asleep with an extremely complicated mood.

The next morning, the team leader who was responsible for escorting them knocked on the door one by one to wake them up. He first went down to the first floor of the inn to finish his meal, and then led them to Jinzhou City.

"Several soldiers, we don't bring carriages?" Sun Chuan's soldiers who escorted their soldiers in the courtyard took them to Jinzhou City on foot, and they couldn't help but be curious. "This place is still separated from Jinzhou City by Gaizhou and Fuzhou. The road is long. With walking, when will it be possible to reach it?"

"We don't want to walk to Jinzhou. Haizhou Railway Station is just outside Haizhou City. We walk to the train station and wait for the train from Liaodong City to Jinzhou City. We got on the train and arrived at Jinzhou City in less than half a day." said the escort captain.

It was the train again. Sun Chuanting muttered in his heart, and he couldn't help it this time.

"Bing Ye, what is this train?"

"Oh, why do you have so many questions? I don't know how to explain it to you." The captain said, "Just come with us, as you see it."

"All right……"

Sun Chuanting and others followed them to the outside of Haizhou City with doubts. Haizhou Railway Station is less than five miles away from Haizhou City. The reason why it is set outside the city is that it is because it is afraid of disturbing the residents in the city.

Haizhou Railway Station is just a simple station, a midway station with only platforms on both sides.

Sun Chuanting and others stood on the platform, and there were also some wealthy people or businessmen who came to the platform in the early morning. They may be the earliest group of passengers taking trains in this world.

"What is the iron block here?" Sun Chuanting stood on the platform and saw the rails crossing between the platforms, leading to the distance in the early morning mist, and couldn't help but wonder.

"This is the railway track, and the train is traveling on it, which is equivalent to the road being a carriage." The escort team leader replied earnestly.

"Oh..." Sun Chuanting seemed to understand.

The other passengers waiting for the train looked at the group with their eyes as if they were watching the country people. The train was in southern Liaoning and the big cities of Liaodong.

After a while, as the ground in the distance began to tremble slightly, on the distant ground, a string of black smoke first rolled upwards, and then a black iron dragon came along the railway tracks at lightning.

"Giant...Giant Dragon..." Sun Chuanting's servant and a group of envoys around him were so scared that they almost knelt on the ground when they saw the black dragon spitting out clouds and mist.

Even Sun Chuanting's own body was trembling. He wanted to take a step to escape, but found that he could not use any strength.
