Chapter 576: Technology and Immortality Fusion, the World Develops Rapidly
Two years later.
"Master, it's bad, Master!"
In a luxurious and elegant mansion, the steward suddenly ran in shouting anxiously, sweating profusely from the heat.
In the lobby, a middle-aged man in his early forties frowned unhappily and shouted harshly.
"Wang Gui, you're the manager, but how can you be so loud and noisy?"
The middle-aged man is called Zheng Qian. His name sounds rich and he is actually worth a lot of money.
However, in Shangjing, Yue District, the family's wealth is considered medium.
Moreover, because they have been in business for generations, they always feel that they are inferior to those dignitaries, but they like to show off their status.
The manager named Wang Gui wiped his sweat and became more serious.
"Master, this is really bad. The transfer flights to Yingfeng Mansion have been booked and are scheduled for five days later!"
"What? Why is it so crowded?"
When Zheng Qian heard this, he immediately lost his composure and the fat on his face trembled.
This time he went to Yingfeng Mansion to attend the auction. Yingfeng Mansion has the largest auction on the continent, and the items auctioned there are always novel and precious.
Speaking of which, this was his first time to attend an auction at Yingfeng Mansion, but he didn't expect there to be a problem with transportation.
This time it wasn't for the sake of novelty or fun, but because his mother's life was in danger.
I just heard that the nationally renowned Xinghai Alchemist has refined a new elixir called the Six-Turn Resurrection Pill.
As long as there is still a breath, it can be saved.
Since it is a newly refined elixir, I want to take advantage of the auction to make it famous, so it has not yet been sold in other places.
In order to save his mother, Zheng Qiancai wanted to go to the auction to give it a try.
Wang Gui smiled bitterly and said, "The auction in Yingfeng Mansion is only held once every six months. All the wealthy people in the four districts want to go and see it, so it's naturally crowded."
"What should I do then?"
Zheng Qian panicked. He had never been to an auction before and had no idea it was so popular.
The auction was to be held in three days. He had originally thought that going there three days in advance was already early, but he did not expect that the transfer flight was scheduled for five days later.
"By the way, what about the steam train and the psychic train?"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he thought of another means of transportation.
Compared to the teleportation arrays that have spread across the states and counties of the four major regions, trains are only popular in the states of the four major regions.
This thing can hold much more people than a teleportation array. One train can carry thousands of people. He often takes it when he goes out for business, and the ticket price is very cheap.
Of course, the disadvantage is that the speed is far inferior to the teleportation array, but it is still much faster than carriages and buses.
The reason why they are divided into steam trains and psychic trains is because the way they provide power is different.
Steam trains are powered by steam, while psychic trains are powered by spirit stones and formations.
The former has been running for four years, is inexpensive, and is very popular among ordinary people.
The latter has only been in operation for two years and is slightly more expensive, but it is faster than the former and is more suitable for people with a small fortune.
It would take at least a day and a night to get from Shangjing to Yingfengfu by taking the psychic train.
But for the sake of the auction, I had no choice but to endure it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gui's face became even uglier.
"Master, I've also inquired about these two trains, and all the tickets for the next three days are sold out."
Zheng Qian's body suddenly swayed and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Wang Gui was quick to act and supported him.
"Heaven wants to kill me! It's God who wants to kill me..."
Zheng Qian burst into tears. Did he have to watch his mother die?
Wang Gui was also very sad. He gritted his teeth and finally said it out.
"Master, there is a new means of transportation. I heard it's much faster than a train. Would you like to try it?"
"What? There's such a means of transportation? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Zheng Qian was stunned and grabbed Wang Gui's arm tightly with both hands as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Wang Gui's face looked a little strange. "I heard that the Minister of Industry had just developed it. It's called a Psychic Spaceship."
"The first test flight will be conducted tomorrow, and the test flight destination is Yingfeng Mansion."
"So we're recruiting test pilots. Today is the last day for recruitment."
Zheng Qian suddenly realized, "Sir, the Minister of Works, isn't that the legendary Sir Xiao Xinghe who invented trains and buses?"
They actually developed some kind of psychic spaceship?
"If it's called a boat, how can it fly? Is it flying in the sky?"
He was a little confused and couldn't imagine what a ship that could fly in the sky looked like.
Wang Gui replied, "I only heard about it from outsiders, so I don't know what it is. Master, should we go and sign up?"
Zheng Qian was a little hesitant. It would be fine if it ran on the ground like a train, at least he would have some peace of mind.
Why does it feel so dangerous when it's flying in the sky?
No wonder they have to recruit test pilots. I’m afraid most people wouldn’t dare to take it.
"You said this spaceship will go to Yingfeng Mansion tomorrow?"
"Yes, and it's very fast. I heard it will arrive in two hours."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qian gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
"Go, go sign up, and make sure you catch the auction!"
Since it was researched by the Minister of Works, he chose to trust it.
Besides, I really can’t afford to delay any longer. For my mother, what does it matter if it’s really dangerous?
However, when he actually boarded the spaceship the next day, Zheng Qian regretted it.
He never knew that he was afraid of heights.
"Master, you are shaking so badly."
On the novel spaceship, Zheng Qian and Wang Gui sat at the back of the cabin.
There were quite a few people on the spacecraft, probably hundreds of them, all of whom volunteered to take part in the test flight.
The cabin is not very big, but there are transparent glass windows on both sides. When you look up, you can see the clouds rolling in the sky ten thousand meters high.
Zheng Qian didn't dare to open his eyes and his whole body was shaking.
Wang Gui was extremely happy. He didn't expect that the boat could really fly. This was amazing!
The two of them didn't know that the Minister of Works Xiao Xinghe, who was researching spacecraft, and the newly crowned top scholar Ning Hanqian were also on the ship, and were sitting in the first row.
Both of them are handsome and ambitious young men, and are known as two of the Four Young Masters of Shangjing.
"Xinghe, your spaceship is amazing. It's so fast and yet so stable."
A flash of surprise flashed across Ning Hanqian's eyes. He was not good at these things, but he knew that the research was extremely complicated.
Compared with Xinghe's ability, his newly crowned top scorer is really not good enough, even in the comprehensive ranking of the four major regions.
Xiao Xinghe smiled and said, "These are all the inspiration and principles provided by my mother. I am just studying them."
"My cousin is a genius, a blessing to the entire continent."
Ning Hanqian praised her highly. Since his cousin had established her foundation, the entire continent had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Trains, airplanes, and teleportation arrays spread across the continent...we couldn't even imagine them in the past.
Xiao Xinghe also agreed very much. Every time he mentioned his mother, he felt proud.
The spaceship was very fast and it reached Yingfeng Prefecture from Shangjing in just two hours.
The first test flight was successfully completed!
After getting off the spaceship, many people were trembling with fear and sweating profusely. Zheng Qian was one of them.
However, as long as he could successfully arrive at Yingfeng Mansion, he had nothing else to ask for. He could finally participate in the auction.
The auction venue of Yingfeng Mansion is tall and magnificent. It is said that it is the property of Xiaoyao Sect.
This is not only the case with this one, but also with auction houses in other state capitals in the four major regions.
All these auction houses are managed by Xiao Xingyun.
In addition to the auction house, Xingyun also manages many other industries. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest businessman on the continent.
"Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely promote your Sixth Rank Resurrection Pill well this time."
In the backyard of the auction venue, a young man and woman in their early twenties sat opposite each other.
Both of them are graceful and elegant.
It was Xiao Xinghai and Xiao Xingyun.
Like Xiao Xinghe, both of them have entered the early stage of foundation building and are true masters on the continent.
Xiao Xinghai smiled and said, "With our most powerful business expert Xingyun here, I'm naturally not worried."
"Even you tease me, brother."
Xiao Xingyun glared at him, but he was quite happy in his heart.
Then he frowned again and said, "Brother, do you think Mom and the others can succeed this time?"
When talking about serious matters, Xiao Xinghai also put away his smile and became much more serious.
"It's almost certain now that the storms at sea have other sources. I'm afraid there really are other countries on the other side of the ocean."
"It's a pity that neither you nor I are good at fighting, and Mother doesn't want to take us with her."
Xiao Xingyun felt very sorry when he heard this, but he also understood his mother's actions.
There are only so many people in the Foundation Establishment Stage on the mainland, and we can’t all send them out to sea.
With them around, mom won’t have to worry about anything.
"I believe that my mother and the others will come back safely, and they might even bring some surprises."
The two looked at each other with determined eyes.
