New York is the financial center of the United States, as well as the largest port and transportation hub. Every day, countless people rush to New York with dreams in mind, and of course, countless people leave New York in despair with their dreams shattered.
As a metropolis in the United States, the people of New York are also well-informed. No matter what new gadgets they are, they are quickly familiar with them. Nothing can surprise the people of New York.
But today, the situation was a little different. People on the streets of New York raised their heads and looked at the big guy in the sky with surprise.
"Is this the airship the newspaper said about?"
"This is really big. It's bigger and longer than any giant ship on the sea."
"It's so big and can actually fly in the sky. It's simply a masterpiece of God."
On the skyscrapers of Manhattan, well-informed wealthy people are also observing this big guy in the sky.
"This is the Swan that flew from Europe. It's so white, no wonder it's called the White Swan."
"I feel that the aviation industry definitely has development potential in the future. Is Hawkins interested in working with me? How about each of us investing US$5 million?"
Regarding this big guy that appeared in the sky over New York City, major newspapers also rushed out, and photographers occupied the best positions, trying to take the best photo.
One of the photos taken from the Life Insurance Building in Manhattan has become the best symbol of the White Swan's visit to New York. In the photo, the huge airship blocks out the sky and the sun, and the small city buildings below show the domineering power of the airship.
When the people of New York paid attention to the Swan, the people on the Swan also looked at the bustling New York City below. Even if some of the passengers were born in New York, watching it from high altitude is still unique.
"This is New York, it looks prosperous."
"Yes, this is New York."
The Swan didn't stay over New York for long. Half an hour later, it rushed to LaGuardia in the suburbs, where the airship parking lot set up by Alitalia in New York was. The huge airship slowly landed, and the parking lot was also filled with people. They also wanted to see this big guy, so they sold tickets at the parking lot, allowing them to observe the huge Swan airship up close and feel the shock of the world's largest industrial crystallization.
Among these visitors, there are also people with other purposes, and Major Brad is one of them.
Unlike other viewers, Major Brad was also shocked by the huge Swan airship. But unlike others who were simply shocked and said a few words of praise, Major Brad had other ideas.
So when he returned to his residence after the visit, he immediately took out a pen and paper and prepared to write down some ideas in his mind and report to his superiors.
"Dear General Allison, here I need to report to you an epoch-making technological product, the Swan airship..."
In this report, Major Brad was very worried about this giant airship that could cross the ocean. For this reason, he wrote in the report, "If the enemy uses a giant airship as an attack weapon, it will be more aggressive than a battleship. First of all, in terms of speed, the gap between battleships and airships is too big. The airship only takes 4 or 5 days. can cross the Atlantic. Secondly, airships can ignore terrain and can perform tasks whether on sea or land. Therefore, building the United States' own airship force has become an urgent military task. In addition, according to reliable news from Europe, European countries are preparing to start The United States of America must not fall behind in building its own airship force."
Major Brad's information was not well-informed. The news that European powers were developing their own airships had actually begun when Alitalia used airships to transport passengers and cargo.
However, due to technical difficulties and discussions on the applicability of airships, the speed was not very fast. But after the news came that the giant airship Swan was sailing around the world, the speed of developing airships in various countries accelerated.
Yes, the most difficult thing in the aviation industry at present is the development of airships. In the future, the development of mainstream aircraft in the aviation industry will be much easier than airships. At present, people from every powerful country have manufactured their own aircraft. Although this gadget that can fly thirty to forty kilometers has attracted the attention of various countries, it is not very practical. On the contrary, airships have attracted more attention from various countries due to their load capacity and applicability. But so far, apart from the Zeppelin Company, only Italy, which has received its technical support, has successfully built a rigid airship.
Even the British Empire, the world's number one, is still intensifying the development of its first airship, and it is expected that it will not be launched for the first time until the end of the year. From here we can see how difficult it is to manufacture a rigid airship.
But no matter how difficult it is, I believe that all major industrial countries can develop rigid airships. It is just a matter of time.
Major Brad's report is to describe the military role of airships to the U.S. military, and this report is basically read within the military.
As for the public, the Swan airship became the front page headlines of major newspapers in New York and even the United States the next day. Among the news published in various newspapers, the most outstanding one was the New York Times, which published an airship travel diary written by an author.
Speaking of which, Havel is also quite colorful. He is an author who loves flying and has flown on an airship before. During this round-the-world voyage of the Swan, Havel spent most of his worth to grab a ticket from the rich and powerful from various countries, and he was also the only ordinary person on the round-the-world voyage of the Swan airship. (The identity of this ordinary person needs quotation marks. It is compared with other passengers on the airship. In fact, he should be considered a wealthy class, otherwise he would not be able to spend so much money to buy tickets.)
And Havel, who had spent most of his worth to buy the ticket, certainly did not miss the opportunity to find a replacement. Before boarding the Swan, he had reached an agreement with eight newspapers and one publishing house. He will record the entire process of the Swan's global journey, and they will be responsible for reporting and publishing. And Havel also received almost enough remuneration from it, so he really deserves to have business acumen.
And Havel's ability to receive such compensation has a lot to do with the passengers this time. As the first round-the-world flight by air, it naturally attracted a lot of attention. After all, air flight has always been the hope of mankind. Even though there have been airplanes and airships before, flying around the earth has never been done before.
Most of these passengers are either rich or noble. Not many of them are willing to write reports about their travel experiences. Even if they have writing skills, they are not as good as him. It can be said that he is an exclusive report.
With such an advantage, it is reasonable to receive a lot of rewards.
While New York is reporting on the Swan, the Swan has started sailing again after a day of repairs. Its next stop is San Francisco, the largest city in the West. The next trip across the North American continent will give passengers Bring new experiences.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
