Three days later, Sona's ship sailed into Piltwolf Harbor.

The hard work of the boat for many days made her tired, but she packed her luggage early, carried Ling Hua and Xiaohong to the deck together, preparing to be the first passengers to get off the boat.

The sound of whistles from other ships docked, which seemed to be emitted by a coal-burning steamship. Sona's understanding of this new type of ship was limited to knowing that its whistle was actually the sound of boiling water in a kettle, but it was amplified many times.

This wonderful sound is precisely proof that Piltwov is the most prosperous port in the world. This coastal city is located in the center of the world and is the connection point between the east and west oceans and the north and south continents.

What she could see in her sight alone was hundreds of ships lined up in the canal. Some were just passing by, others stopped at the port to unload cargo from far away, and then loaded with specialties from Piltwof and Zuan. Freljord icebreakers, three-masted military ships from Noxus, Shurima’s grain cargo ships, and ships from all over the world.

The plains on both sides of the coast are filled with a large number of buildings, smooth marble, bronze grids and shiny glass form a neat new building, and the golden light reflected in the sunlight. Towers inlaid with gold and silver textures stretch into the sky, and arched bridges span the tops of cliffs on both sides of the rift, which are sights she has never seen before.

It would be great if my mother could see it too.

The ships lined up to enter the port and slowly drove into the shadow of Sunomen Gate. A series of bells came from the bell tower of Sunomen Gate. Sona counted for a few moments, and there were eight sounds in total.

She suddenly felt a little nervous. It was eight o'clock in the morning. This was the time when Poluo Cafe started to open. Will Zell not pick her up because she had to see the store? She was unfamiliar with the place.

The ship at the front of the team entered the sea gate and suddenly sank below the sea level. The ships in front disappeared out of thin air one after another. Sona was frightened and hurriedly picked up the pages of the book and asked in the group what was going on?

Zell happened to be watching the group chat and explained it casually.

The sea surface on both sides of the sea gate is not flat, but has a drop of up to dozens of meters. The function of the Sun Gate Sea Gate is to divide the huge drop into several sections, falling step by step like steps, and helping the ships sail through this dangerous sea staircase more smoothly.

Each step can be seen as an independent reservoir. When a ship enters the steps, the control room will release water at the bottom of the sea gate, so that the water level of the first step will be lowered to the level of the second step. Then, open the Hex piston door of the sea gate and let the ship go to the next step, and so on, and finally complete the transfer from the western Ocean to the eastern Ocean.

On the other hand, the same principle is also true from a place where the sea level is low to a place where the high sea level is high. If you want to go to the upper level, let the upper level emptiate the water and let the ship enter, and then start to store water. As the water level rises, the ship is higher. After several cycles, it will cross the drop of dozens of meters high.

As for why it is designed to be cumbersome step-shaped rather than to be a lifting type that can be completed in one go, it is mainly because the slope of this section of landmark is shaky, and if it is not graded, it is likely to cause sea water to flow backwards. Not only in Zu'an, Xiacheng District, but also in some areas of Picheng will be affected.

Piltwolf designed this unprecedented convenience and provided the world's best and most prosperous trading port. It was not too much to charge some patent fees for passing ships, so Piltwolf naturally became the richest city. The injection of funds has driven the development of science and technology, so Piltwolf is also known as the "City of Progress".

Qinse: Thank you for telling me so much, I really didn’t expect this city wall to be so powerful.

Poluo Shepherd: That is the sea gate, not the city wall... Forget it, I saw the Rizhi Gate, which means you should be about to dock. When you get off the boat, you tell me that I will pick you up.

Qinse: OK.jpg

Sona was seen putting away the pages, and her worries were unnecessary. Zell did not feel much more relaxed because she had to see the store.

Not long after, the ship landed. Xiaohong, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, became excited and slammed the deck with her paws. Someone next to him asked Sona if she knew about Poluo Cafe? She smiled and nodded, then signaled that she could not speak.

The bridge leading to the land had been put down, and Xiaohong jumped and yelled, looking like she was "going here", trying hard to let Sona see herself. She followed Poluo through the wooden bridge one after another, leaving her own footprints on this brand new city.

After getting out of the surging crowds, Sona came to the roadside to rest, letting her hold the Guqin and drag her luggage alone, and she couldn't walk. If only a gentleman came to help her carry things. Xiaohong looked at her with a cunning look, it could help carry things, which scared others.

Qinse: I'm ashore.

Poluo Shepherd: Where? I didn’t see you.

Sona bit her lip and didn't know how to answer for a moment, and there were no signs around her, which made her unable to answer her.

Poluo Muzhe: You can stand in place and take a photo of the surrounding iconic buildings and confirm your location for me.

It turns out that there is such a way!

Sona gained more knowledge. She first looked at the gate of Sunoi not far away, but felt that it was too big and not suitable for reference.

Looking around, there is a mobile newsstand next to it, which sells Piltwolf's tour guide map in addition to daily newspapers and books. Not far away, there is an iron chain bridge across the strait, connecting the iron-casting platform above an isolated island in the middle of the canal. The steel cables between each other pass through the cable car full of goods from time to time. And around, there are crowds of people... Merchants, hawkers and docks are bustling with cargo, and the crew members are up and down, forming an uninterrupted flow of people.

Sona didn't know where the landmark was, so she took a few steps back and took pictures as much as possible. A young man riding a unicycle passed by and looked at her, as if she was curious why this person was holding a page of paper to the sky. Does the content on it have to appear in the sunlight? This scene happened to be taken into the photo and posted in the chat room.

At this moment, Zell, who was located on the other side of the shore, clicked on the photo and saw the first glance that this young man was sitting in a cyclist with moxie's hair and an hourglass symbol on his face and a black question mark. He was stunned for a moment, wasn't this time wizard Ike?

In his impression, Ike is a young man who likes to pick up beautiful girls and has a 100% success rate... Because his Z-shaped drive can turn time back, providing him with dozens of trial and error opportunities, and finding the route with the fastest increase in favorability like passing the galgame, and trying it out all the time.

Ike was using this method to test the limits of the Z-type driver, but the girl who was flirting foolishly thought she had found a confidant, but she didn't know that she had been thoroughly eaten through dozens of retracing. Seeing that Ike was riding a bike with a ring, Zer immediately began to worry whether Sona, a small village girl, would have dangerous curiosity about the fashionable guy.
