276: Chapter 276 It's that same head of state again!

"Let's go, we'll buy the tickets first."

Xu Ning took Xu Fu to the ticket counter to purchase train tickets.

After buying the tickets, they headed to the ticket gate to queue up.

Xu Fu felt completely unfamiliar with all of this, yet he was also extremely curious.

This was an entirely new experience.

He felt somewhat nervous in his heart.

Thinking that he was about to enter the interior of a train—something he had never ridden before—his heart pounded incessantly.

After passing through the ticket gate, Xu Fu followed the crowd toward the platform.

The train was stopped at the platform, with security guards standing in front to maintain order.

The times when a train enters or leaves a station are when accidents are most likely to occur.

If someone were to stand on the tracks, they would inevitably be hit by the train.

With such a massive volume, even with the brakes applied, the train would still need a certain distance to come to a stop.

By the time the train finally braked to a halt, that person would have long been gone.

"Do you know how to check the seat number?"

Xu Ning asked Xu Fu.

"Ah?"

Xu Fu scratched the back of his head; he really couldn't tell.

"It doesn't matter if you can't. There's a Stewardess inside the carriage who will explain it."

Sure enough, after Xu Fu boarded the carriage, he heard a female Stewardess, dressed in a beautiful uniform he had never seen before, giving an explanation.

"Everyone, after entering the carriage, please pay attention to the seat number markings above the seats or on the armrests."

"Our carriage seat numbers use a combination of numbers and letters."

"The numbers represent the row, while the letters represent the position. A and F indicate window seats, while C and D indicate aisle seats."

"Please take your seats according to your tickets."

To ensure the passengers understood Arabic numerals and letters, the female Stewardess also held up a sign to educate them.

Those who could afford to travel by train were all nobles, and their learning ability was relatively strong. Before long, under the Stewardess's guidance, they found their seats.

The seats were mainly hard seats, like the plastic chairs found on buses.

"My seat is over there!"

Xu Fu quickly found his window seat based on his seat number.

Window seats were better for viewing the scenery, while aisle seats were more convenient for going to the restroom.

The current second-generation steam trains of Great Qin were equipped with restrooms.

There was a distance of dozens of kilometers between each train station, and the train would stop at each station for at least fifteen minutes.

On a long journey, someone would inevitably be unable to hold it in; if they were to urinate in the carriage, it would certainly be unseemly.

Thus, a restroom was installed at the connection point between every two carriages.

The interior of the steam train was not designed with a storage compartment for waste.

The pipes from the restroom toilets connected directly to the bottom of the train; when flushed, the waste was discharged onto the tracks—letting it fly free!

"Hmm!"

Xu Fu touched the glass window and asked in surprise, "May I ask, General, is this crystal?"

Xu Ning was sitting right next to Xu Fu in an aisle seat.

Xu Fu touched the incredibly transparent glass window, which felt cool to the touch, with shock.

If these windows were made of crystal, how high would the cost be!

Xu Fu was speechless with amazement.

Under the leadership of that mysterious His Majesty the Head of State, did the current Great Qin even use such precious crystal for train windows!

This was simply too extravagant!

"This isn't crystal."

With a face full of admiration, Xu Ning said, "This is glass, invented by His Majesty the Head of State!"

Since Xu Ning had nothing else to do on the journey, he began explaining to Xu Fu.

It was that Paramount Leader again!

A light flickered in Xu Fu's eyes.

His purpose for this trip was to meet His Majesty the Head of State.

After entering the station, he had heard many people say that this train was invented by the Paramount Leader.

Great Qin had become so unfamiliar now, and it seemed it was all thanks to this Paramount Leader!

So, what kind of person was this Paramount Leader?
