Chapter 338 Aicheng Five Years Later
"Hmm~"

The wives covered their mouths and smiled at each other.

The next day, morning.

Alvin accompanied his four daughters-in-law to the busiest street in Ai City to go shopping and buy clothes.

Today, Aicheng, a coastal city on the northern edge of Douluo Continent, has become the most developed city in the entire Douluo Continent and the largest city in the entire continent.

Over the years, Aicheng has been built and expanded several times.

Because of the prosperity of Ai, several surrounding cities and surrounding areas also became prosperous.

Now the capital of the Alvin Empire, Ai City, has become a first-class city!
It is almost far ahead of other developed cities in the entire continent, even Wuhun City, Tiandou City, and Xingluo City, which are also top-notch cities, are far from comparable to it.

The main reason for this is that Aicheng is the starting point for the development of soul guide technology and the core place for opening the era of soul guide technology!
A long time ago, Zhuge Liang became an eighth-level soul engineer, and later he became a ninth-level soul engineer.

At that time, Zhuge Liang had already begun to teach widely, leading a large number of soul masters in the Ivan Empire to learn how to make soul guides and become soul guides.

And Zhuge Liang had already developed and innovated a large number of different kinds of soul guides long before he and Ivan went to the God Realm for the war, including melee weapons to assist soul masters in combat, as well as defense, long-range, flying, and various forms of transportation and life-assistance soul guide designs.

Zhuge Liang left all the soul guide design drawings that he had developed, created and designed in the Ivan Empire, providing them to the empire's soul guides for study, research and development.

Therefore, there are already quite a few soul masters in Douluo Continent now, and soul masters in this continent have begun to use combat soul guides to enhance their combat effectiveness.

All types of transportation and daily life soul guides are gradually becoming popular and used on the mainland.

As the origin of soul guide technology in Douluo Continent, Ai City is naturally the city with the most soul guide technology development, popularization, and usage rate, the fastest, and the strongest.

This is why Ai is far more developed than all other cities.

The city of Aicheng is gradually moving away from the era of cold weapons and is no longer as advanced as the era of technology.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang's existence has accelerated the development of soul guide technology in Douluo Continent by at least a thousand years.

Without Zhuge Liang's research and development, the country would definitely not have developed so fast and would be much behind what it is now.

As Alvin and his four wives arrived at the most prosperous central area of ​​Ai City and walked on the street, they saw many soul masters holding weapon-like soul guides in their hands.

There are also various life-assisting soul guides and even transportation soul guides that can be widely seen in this central area.

Soul guides can be seen in almost every household, every store and shop.

"I didn't expect that in just five years, Ai City has already developed and popularized soul guide technology to this extent."

"Ivan, that's the soul guide bus you mentioned, right?" Zhu Zhuqing said, pointing to a vehicle in front that looked like a modern bus.

At this moment, a vehicle that looked a bit like a train and a bit like a modern bus drove onto the street ahead.

It ran without tracks and then stopped at a station.

There were people waiting at the station. They stood up, stepped on the bus, put in the copper soul coins, and then took this means of transportation to leave. This is the soul guide bus in the city. It was a concept and idea that Ivan proposed to Zhuge Liang when Zhuge Liang was researching transportation soul guides, and was later developed by Zhuge Liang.

This soul guide bus is used in the same way as all soul guide devices. It is not powered by oil, but by soul power.

What makes a soul guide different from other weapons and tools is the core magic array, which is carved on a special gem and serves as the core driving force of the entire weapon or tool.

People only need to inject soul power to mobilize the core magic circle to drive the tools.

The soul-guided bus was created by Ivan based on his previous modern knowledge and cognition and the ideas he told Zhuge Liang.

Let this soul-guided bus run in the city to facilitate people's travel.

People only need to pay the corresponding soul coins to take a ride and reach the place they want to go in the city.

Ivan smiled faintly: "Yes, but I didn't expect that for us, only five days have passed since the battle in the God Realm, and Ai City has already set up bus stops and started running multiple bus routes."

Qian Renxue said with emotion: "People's lives are really becoming happier and more convenient!"

"We have already started laying railroad tracks in Aicheng and the cities surrounding it, and will use Aicheng and the surrounding cities as pilot areas to operate rail transportation first," said Alvin.

"Railroad, railroad tracks?"

The four girls looked at Ivan at the same time.

Ivan smiled and explained: "It is a kind of transportation soul guide that runs on rails. We named it the Soul Guide Train."

"This is a means of transportation that can travel farther and travel faster than the Soul Guide Bus."

"It is no longer limited to cities. It will operate across cities. You can take the soul guide train from one city to another, or cross several cities to reach a faraway place."

"Even with the development of railways and the laying of tracks, over time they will cover the entire Douluo Continent, allowing people to take the soul guide train to any city in the Douluo Continent."

"What! This... this is too convenient!" Qian Renxue and others were a little shocked when they heard this.

They suddenly felt strongly that times were changing.

Ivan shook his head and smiled: "But it is not so easy to cover the entire continent with railways. It will take a very long time, but it will be realized one day."

"Ivan, I remember you once said that the strength of soul masters in the Sun-Moon Continent is relatively weak, but the development of soul guides is very strong."

"I'm very curious, is there any gap in the development of soul guides in our Douluo Continent compared to the Sun and Moon Continent?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.

"Compare our Douluo Continent with the Sun Moon Continent now? Haha, there is no comparison." Ivan shook his head and said honestly: "Although our soul guide technology is developing very rapidly, they are much ahead of us. We can't compare in this aspect now."

"Perhaps four thousand years from now, due to the movement of the continental crust, the Sun Moon Continent and our Douluo Continent will collide and merge. By then, our development and construction of soul guides for daily life and transportation, as well as social prosperity and people's happiness will far surpass theirs."

"But when it comes to assisting soul masters in combat and enhancing their combat effectiveness, it is still difficult for us to catch up with them in terms of combat-assisting soul guides."
