Chapter 194 – Accelerate!

Inside the maglev train’s control room…

“Registration complete. Welcome, Train Inspector.”

After registering the final person, Chen Yu looked toward the four conductors before him and said, “You can learn the details of the manual driving mode from the AI in the future. We can’t afford to waste time now, so we’ll drive the train using smart mode.”

After briefly exchanging glances with each other, one of the four conductors in question stepped forward and said, “Mr. King, let me.”

“Sure. Sit there.” Chen Yu pointed at the conductor’s seat beside him.

The conductor nodded and approached the seat with a solemn expression. His body even tensed up as he sat on the seat.

“You can slide the seat around. While driving in smart mode, you can grant full authority over the train to Dimwit. You can also slide up to the crystal ball and use it to make minor adjustments.”

The conductor nodded once more as he carefully slid his seat up to the crystal ball. He then placed a hand on the ball and said, “S-Start the maglev train.”

“Yes, Conductor Number 2.”

Flicker!

The two headlights outside the winds.h.i.+eld promptly lit up and illuminated the tunnel before it.

“Before driving, you must first check the pipeline’s energization status,” Chen Yu said as he pointed at one of the virtual projections in front of the conductor. “The whole pipeline is connected with a low voltage, so you can monitor its status from the train. If the pipeline suffers damage from an earthquake or other reasons, you will have to vacate the pa.s.sengers on the train, travel to the damaged area, and fix the damage in maintenance mode.”

“Understood.”

“If there are still pa.s.sengers on board, you mustn’t change operation modes. Otherwise, you’ll crush the pa.s.sengers to death.”

“U-Understood…”

“That’s all I know for the time being. You’re the professional here, so I’ll leave things here to you.”

“Okay. Thank you very much.”

Waving his hand, Chen Yu reestablished the livestream’s audio and directed the camera toward himself. “Sorry for the long wait. The authorization procedures have just been completed. The maglev train to Shanghai is about to start.

“Friends before the screen, are you ready? It’s time to feel what real speed is.”

After saying so, Chen Yu put his hand on the crystal ball and commanded, “Head to Shanghai at constant speed!”

“Yes, Chief Conductor.”

Accompanied by the AI’s crisp electronic voice, the electromagnetic tracks were energized, generating a superconducting reaction with the superconductors under each carriage. And as the long stator synchronous linear motors were energized, they slowly propelled the train forward.

At this time, the secondary air valve also slowly opened, allowing the train to pa.s.s through it.

Om…

The train body shook momentarily.

This was a result caused by the air between the air valves being sucked away instantly.

At this point, the whole train was finally in a vacuum s.p.a.ce.

[It’s moving! It’s moving!]

[Let’s start timing it now and see how long it takes to get to Shanghai.]

[I envy the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds on the train…]

[They’re all guinea pigs. What’s there to be envious of?]

[Envy.]

[Envy. +1]

Thump.

Thump.

Thump…

Contrary to Chen Yu’s and most people’s expectations, the maglev train experienced a lot of b.u.mping as it moved. It almost felt like riding on an ordinary high-speed train.

However, surprisingly, when the train accelerated to 220 kilometers per hour, all the b.u.mping and shaking suddenly disappeared. It felt as if the entire train had come to a standstill.

“You’re an expert on magnetic levitation, right?” Chen Yu asked as he looked toward an old man.

“Yes.”

“Can you explain why the train gets stabler as it moves faster?”

“It is because this maglev train uses the electrodynamic suspension method,” the old man said as he pushed against his gla.s.ses. “In this method, the gap between the train body and the rails is related to speed. Only when the train exceeds 100 kilometers per hour will the train have the foundation for levitation. Hence, while the train is at low speed, it will remain in contact with the rails. Only at high speeds will it levitate. And once the train levitates, it will no longer experience any forms of friction, so it will naturally become stable.”

“In other words…” Raising a finger, Chen Yu said, “The train’s flying because it’s too fast?”

“…Cough, cough, cough…” The elderly professor choked on his saliva.

[Hahaha, lololol.]

[What miraculous understanding.]

[The program’s performance has just exploded!]

[Lololol…]

[I nearly believed him.]

[The speed is at 600km/h! How fast is its acceleration?]

“If I hadn’t experienced it personally, I would’ve never believed that it would be possible to travel at over 700 kilometers per hour without feeling anything,” Chen Yu said as he stretched his hands toward the projection indicating the train’s speed. He then enlarged it for the camera.

1,000…




The numbers on display rapidly increased, and the train easily surpa.s.sed the standard flight speed of pa.s.senger aircrafts.




With the artificial intelligence’s calculations, the train’s acceleration also didn’t cause any discomfort to the people on board.




“This acceleration will continue until we reach 5,000 kilometers per hour. At that speed, we’ll reach Shanghai in 10 minutes maximum…”




Chen Yu sighed as he looked at the rapidly rising numbers. He then turned around, walked past the government officials, and exited the control room.




“King, where are you going?” Little Peach quickly caught up with Chen Yu.




“It won’t be long before we reach Shanghai. Let’s take a look at the pa.s.senger carriages.”




Meanwhile, when the middle-aged team leader overheard Chen Yu’s words, he made a sidelong glance. Responding to his signal, four agents also followed after Chen Yu.




Quickly, Chen Yu arrived at the end of the second carriage. When he opened the doors and looked beyond, however, he was immediately stunned.




As for Little Peach, the four agents, and the livestream’s five million viewers, they, too, fell into a daze on the spot…




The inside of the pa.s.senger carriage was like a world of magic.




In the sky, three blue moons were hidden among red clouds.




On the sides, strangely shaped trees could be seen rapidly retreating. Occasionally, one could also see a white unicorn flying over to gaze at the carriage’s pa.s.sengers with curious eyes…




[???]




[My G.o.d…]




[What the! Did I transmigrate!?]




[c.r.a.p!]




[c.r.a.p…]




[According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, if an object’s travel speed exceeds the critical value, it will create a wormhole that connects with the Three-Body universe…]




[It’s so beautiful!]




[It’s a real-time simulation using screens! Awesome!]




[This is not the subway train I remember…]




[I’m heading to Beijing now! I’m going to ride the train even if I have to go bankrupt!]




[I want to ride it every day.]




[Won’t you get tired of riding it?]




[What nonsense are you spouting? The more you experience it, the more you’ll want to ride it!]




Meanwhile, most people inside the first pa.s.senger compartment were still “intoxicated” by the beautiful scenery around them. Hence, they hadn’t noticed Chen Yu’s arrival.




As for the few who noticed Chen Yu and tried to approach him, they would be promptly blocked by the four agents.




“In addition to my sense of sight, my sense of smell, hearing, and touch are all telling me that…the world around me is real.” Opening his arms, Chen Yu inhaled deeply and took a breath of the magical scent in the air. Shutting his eyes, he said, “This is technology. It is a technology that will exist in the next hundred years.




“In the future, this thing will have integrated itself into human life, becoming a form of art.”




Half a minute later, Chen Yu opened his eyes and swept his gaze across the intoxicated pa.s.sengers. Unwilling to disturb their wonderful experience, Chen Yu quietly retreated back into the second carriage and shut the door.




“Our current speed has reached 5,000 kilometers per hour. Let’s start the final evaluation of this product.”




Looking at the camera, Chen Yu hurriedly approached the control room.




“Let’s accelerate!




“Target: 14,000 kilometers per hour!”
