Chapter 236 Smoking Tom
"Even cats need tickets." Although Zhang Da complained a bit, he still paid the money obediently. He remembered that he didn't need to buy a ticket for Tom when he went to Shampoo and Politics Park.
But Tom took it for granted that when he and Jerry went to the cinema to watch a movie, he bought two tickets, even though they were starring in the movie.
Before getting on the train, everyone took a good look at this train, the Smoking Tom, which is known as the hope of the Seven Water Cities.
The front of the Sea Train looks like an old steam locomotive.
The words "Water7" are written on the side, and behind it are carriages for passengers and wagons for hauling goods.
Brooke, Perona and Tom all had excitement on their faces after seeing the sea train. Two of them were seeing such a unique means of transportation for the first time, and one was just having fun standing by.
After observing for a while, everyone followed the other passengers on the bus.
The seats in the carriage looked better than the hard seats in the green-skinned train, and the eight of them occupied just two rows of seats.
When the carriage was almost full of people, the train made a rumbling noise and slowly drove out of the station. Then the speed gradually increased. The snowplow in front of the locomotive separated the sea water, and the train ran along the track on the sea, rubbing the coffins of a group of physics giants against the ground.
"It's moving! Wow, it's moving even though there are no sails or oars. It's amazing!" Brooke shouted, completely ignoring the looks of other passengers in the car .
Although he always dressed like a gentleman, his behavior was often completely unceremonious.
Perona held her doll and didn't scream like Brook, but her eyes also revealed excitement.
Altria looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, and wondered whether she should add a Wind King barrier to the sea train so that she could reach the Food City faster.
"You think, the loud noise made by the sea train when it's running won't attract attacks from sea beasts and sea kings? And how can such a floating track support the sea train?" Rui Mengmeng raised the question in her mind.
Although Zhang Da was once a science student, the little physics knowledge he had was obviously not enough to explain this kind of thing: "I don't know. If you say this thing ate a devil fruit, I would believe it."
"Is this your first time in the Seven Water City?" An enthusiastic man in the back row immediately spoke up.
After receiving a positive reply, the elder brother introduced: "Although this 'Smoking Tom' is called a sea train, it is actually still a ship. The track below actually only serves as a signpost, and it is not supported by it."
This enthusiastic brother has done his homework so that he can explain the ins and outs of the sea train in front of outsiders, instead of just saying "What's so good about this crappy sea train?"
"So that's how it is." Rui Mengmeng asked, "What about the sea beast attack?"
Zhang Da hasn't reacted yet. How could it be like this? Even if it is a ship, it is still unscientific for a ship to have this shape and be able to sail on the sea, right?
The eldest brother in the back row was already talking about the next question: "Mr. Tom said that when he built the sea train, he deliberately designed it so that when it started running, it would make a sound that fish hated, so that sea beasts and sea kings would hide far away when they heard the sound."
Is it similar to using sonar to drive away schools of fish? Is this thing also effective against sea kings? If it really works, it would be amazing. Zhang Da also said: "If we ask Mr. Tom to install such a power system on our ship, can we cross the doldrums at will? It has power and is not afraid of sea kings."
The big brother in the back row didn't say anything. This was his blind spot in knowledge. Crossing the doldrums or something like that, this guy was too bold to think about it!
Everyone subconsciously thought about this possibility, but Ye Yan was the first to pour cold water on it: "If we really do this, I think we will die ugly."
"Why?" Zhang Da also asked.
Ye Yan said, "The booklet you gave me said that the Calm Belt is the nest of giant sea kings, right?"
Zhang Da also looked at him as if he were a stranger: "Student Ye Yan, you can finally remember the important knowledge points! I am very relieved. Student Perona, you should learn from Brother Ye Yan. He used to be a poor student with worse grades than you. He would fall asleep after reading for five minutes, but after our physical training in turn..."
Perona was confused. Wasn't she talking about the Calm Belt? Why did she bring it up with me?
"That's enough." Ye Yan didn't want to hear about his own dark history, so he brought the topic back to the topic, "If it's just an annoying noise on the road, then the sea kings might choose to stay away from it, but if the noise is moved to their nest, they will definitely go crazy, right?"
"That's true." So instead of installing a noisy power system, it is better to let the giant shark pull the boat. It is powerful and quiet enough. Otherwise, you can catch a sea beast to pull the boat, and then use Altria's perception ability. As long as you don't do anything stupid, it will be no problem to cross the doldrums.
I sincerely thanked the big brother in the back row for his scientific knowledge, which gave him a sense of accomplishment. Everyone looked at the scenery outside the window and chatted. Soon the sea train arrived at its first stop, St. Poplar Island, the City of the Queen of Spring.
That is where CP9 worked to earn money for Lucci's medical expenses after the Judicial Island incident.
However, this is not Zhang Daye and his friends' destination today. After waiting patiently for about ten minutes, the sea train set off again and soon arrived at the Food City of Puchong Island.
Zhang Da also asked his companions to get off the bus, and he tore off Tom, who was clinging to the window and wandering out of the situation, and carried him away. Then they all left the station together.
The famous food city looks like an ordinary small town. Its architectural style is not much different from that of the Seven Water City, except that there are not so many criss-crossing waterways.
In addition, there was a faint fragrance in the air, which made people's fingers move. Zhang Da also grabbed Tom who was about to follow the fragrance and asked, "By the way, Ye Yan, did you say yesterday that you would give the flag monsters a day off today? Do you want to approve it for them?"
"Actually, there's no need to take such good care of those guys." Ye Yan said, still waving his hand, "Come out."
The flag monsters who got Ye Yan's permission came out and happily took the team building funds given by Zhang Daye: "Thank you, master, thank you, boss!"
"In fact, we would rather take a vacation in the Seven Waters City."
"Yes, yes. It's rare that Feng Er has investigated so many good places."
Ye Yan raised the Huang Yao Banner: "If you don't want to take a vacation, come back!"
The flag monsters disappeared in an instant.
