Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Lesson 603: Developing Transportation Networks

Oh! It's not beautiful, it's beautiful!

You don't squat too much! You should sit down properly. "

Kamil was embarrassed by T-1, who was cheering on the flipped window with his hands and forehead stuck to it.

However, she also seemed to be worried about the situation outside, and every time a large fish shadow crossed her, she turned her gaze to each other.

"A high-speed undersea transport pipeline or a Yahiro crocodile. It's beautiful, it's comfortable, and it's pretty good, isn't it?"

After the Sisters, we set out for Sakao.

At that time, I remembered the existence of an underwater tunnel connecting the [Mizuhanome] and [Wadazumi], which had just been opened, and embarked with the Kamils.

The facility, officially known as the high-speed undersea transport pipe Yahiro Crocodile, is a large pipe with clear windows embedded in a blue skeleton made of fine refined special alloys.

A shuttle that can accommodate up to 10 passengers moves fast and transports personnel and supplies.

Outbound and return routes, two transparent pipes lying on the seabed, and a metal shuttle passing through them seem like sharks.

It's like the underwater version of Yata Glass, and there will be more stations in the future.

If reclamation progresses and other marine resource gathering sites are established, an underwater transportation network will be created that also connects them.

Until now, people who were rowing boats while suffering from rough waves could go to their destination just by sleeping.

Both cost and time were superior to conventional methods of transportation.

When you get to [Wadatumi], will you climb the ropeway to the highlands and then ride on the yataglass?

No, let's go directly to Sakao from the airport in Wadatsumi.

While the frontier is being developed, various facilities are being set up at the rear.

Especially during the "Banquet of Ten Thousand Nights", as part of the development of the city under Susano's command, transportation other than Yata Glass seems to have greatly improved.

"Well, I don't know what I said..."

I go to the wiki page and look up the air traffic network that was set up with "Wadatsumi" as the starting point.

"High-speed air transport aircraft Ikarga. It takes a little money, but it's a versatile plane that can handle a variety of situations."

Is it going to cost you money?

“It's okay, three and one is enough for a miniature plane.”

She shook her head in a panic at Kamil, who was holding her eyebrows in alarm.

I'm a little curious about how poor they think I am, but I don't care now.

Oh, is the sea empty next? Wouldn't that be nice! '

Haha, you don't take it easy.

Looking at the glittering T-1, Kamil shrugged his shoulders in shock.

Anyway, this is a great opportunity, so I'm sorry for Letty and the others, but let's have some fun first.

The yahiro crocodile gliding at high speed inside the vacuum pipe arrived in Wadatsumi in a few minutes.

If you try to cross the sea by boat, it will take a long time to cross the rough waters above the raids of protozoa, but the technological progress is great.

"Don't get lost!"

I know!

Get off the Yahirovani and continue straight to the airport on the outskirts of Wadatsumi.

There used to be only a few dozen large planes carrying dozens of people at a time, but now it seems to have everything from personal planes to airplanes.

"One player, two NPCs, and one medium-sized pet. Even Sakao, please.

All right, let's go to boarding gate five.

Tell the senior NPC at the counter how many people we have and where we're going, and they'll be on the plane in no time.

Follow the guide to the runway, where a small plane was waiting for the aircraft to warm up.

Isn't there a pilot?

Kamil tilts her head when she realizes that the driver's seat is empty.

"The regular-route plane seems to be autopilot (autopilot). Well, it's easier that way."

Step on the downed tarap and board the plane.

The ceilings are low enough that I have to bend a little, but the Type-Fairy planes Kamil and T-1 don't seem to have a problem.

I could see that the White Moon was on board, and I was able to retrieve the Talap.

The propeller on the tip of the airplane starts to spin, and the airplane moves slowly.

"Some people say that the lack of warp and fast travel functions is a disadvantage, but this is good for fun."

A plane standing in the middle of the runway slowly increases its speed.

Then, the airplane floated in the wind and tilted its nose toward the high ground.

Oh my gosh! Wow, the ground is already so far away!

You're usually higher up.

While smiling bitterly at the conversation between Kamil and T-1, I take several pictures with the camera.

Are there photographers who specialize in aerial photography?

If you have such a fine plane, why don't you cross the sea with it?

"It would be difficult to build a runway near the Mizuhanome, but it could be a flying boat." It seems that the atmosphere of the planet Izanami is special, and it is difficult to earn the range and altitude. "

Answer what was written on the wiki to Kamil, who casts a natural question.

I'm not an engineer, so I'm not sure, but it's pretty hard to develop a plane.

In addition to environmental problems, there are also troublesome protozoa in the sky, and it seems that they are struggling to cope with them.

"I haven't been to the sky much." I've passed through it before, but... "

Looking at the sky, T-1 clinging to the window twitches his shoulder.

Apparently, it looks like some kind of trauma.

“It's okay, I won't do that anymore.”

Hmph. Well, I don't care if they come over and over again...

I slap her on the shoulder to reassure her, but for some reason I can look into doubt.

I don't have any business to go to in the first place, so I guess I can't go.

Here, it's [Sakao] in no time.

While doing so, we were over the Onokoro Highlands.

Beyond the lake, beyond the forest, you can see the brown wilderness.

On the other side, a huge city like Sakao was launched on a steep cliff in the wilderness.

The small plane lands on a small runway near the city, slowing down as it raises the sand and smoke.

When it came to a complete stop and the door opened, dry air blown into the aircraft.

"Hmm, it's now more convenient."

I watched the plane go to the warehouse and was amazed by the advances in technology.

If I used the Earth Spider Ropeway and tried to use yataglass to get from [Wade] to [Sakao], it would take more time.

Even as we concentrate on the ocean, the interior seems to be seeing a steady growth.

Well, let's rendezvous with Sakao for now.

Leave the airport and head towards the city of Sakao.

A town made of dry stone and brick spreads out in strong sunshine and dry winds.

Surrounding the outer perimeter is a heavy barrier found in other cities.

"After all, the size is completely different from that of Wadazumi."

"Wadatsumi, a marine resource gathering base, is only a subspecies of Susanoo, a ground avant-garde base. On a pure scale, Susano is about five times bigger.”

[Wadatsumi], [Mizuhanome], [Amatsumara], and [Homsubi] are all sub-species of Susanoo, a ground-based avant-garde base.

There is not enough land to build Susanoo, but it is still deployed at a very important point, which is quite small in terms of area.

Although mostly only the central control area is the smallest, even the relatively large [Wadatumi] appears to be quite small compared to [Sakao].

By the way, the biggest ground vanguard base was Wade, and the smallest was Kiyo.

Even if it rotts, it's a ground vanguard base.

That's not true.

When I talked about it, I came to the gate that was opened to the barrier of [Sakao].

Then, a little girl raised her hand and called out.

Hello! You're here!

Sakao. You kept me waiting.

Taking off her maid's clothes and posing as her usual green one-piece, she's a special airplane for administrators, unlike the ones that work at Sisters around the world.

She seemed to know when and where we were coming from as a caretaker.

I'm sorry you came all the way out here.

"Fine. We have plenty of time." In the meantime, let's take a quick look around the city. "

Having successfully rendezvoused with the administrator, I made sure that Kamil and T-1 were also following closely and stepped into the town.

Players' stalls flank the wide boulevard, which seems lively at first glance.

However, if you look closely, you can see that every player is getting better in this town.

I see, there aren't many tourists.

That's what I'm talking about, especially since I don't do BBB today.

Sakao nodded in a slightly depressed voice.

For Sacao, which aims to develop as a hub of exchange and a key point of trade, a town with only settlers may not be the intention.

"If you have any ideas, just let me know. I'll consider it right away."

That's fine, but don't expect too much, okay?

Just to be clear, Sakao is looking at us with confidence.

I walked out to see the town for the time being under strange pressure.
