The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 369: Chapter 316: The Shock of Everyone

Global voyages carry far greater significance for humanity than mere befits, and they bring a thrill of conquering the world.

The Earth is vast, and every milestone global voyage is recorded in human history, having a tremdous impact on both humanity and the planet.

The global voyage of the Australasian Airship has now become one of the topics of concern for people all a the world.

People are curious as to whether this novel mode of transportation, the airship, can achieve the greatest accomplishmt in sailing—a circumnavigation of the globe.

Some are curious, some are skeptical, some are in awe, and some are dismissive. Nevertheless, in April 9, the world's atttion has gathered on Australasia, specifically on the airship that gradually moves away from the skies of Sydney.

The first leg of this global voyage was challging. According to the plan, the first stop was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, in the American Hawaiian Territory.

There is nothing special about this stopover; Arthur chose it simply for the sake of caution, to inspect and repair the airship midway across the Pacific Ocean.

The straight-line distance from Sydney to Hawaii is a massive 800 kilometers. Ev with the fastest cruise ships of the time, this journey would take about half a month to complete.

However, the Dawn Airship departed on April th and arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii, in just nine days and four hours.

After more than t hours in Honolulu, during which the airship was inspected, repaired, and resupplied with some living esstials, the Dawn Airship took off again, heading straight for the largest city in the western United States—Los Angeles.

After arriving in Hawaii, the native land of the United States was already much closer. The distance from Hawaii to Los Angeles is only 4,097 kilometers, almost half of the distance from Sydney to Hawaii.

To fulfill Arthur's goal of not only successfully circumnavigating the globe but also minimizing the time spt doing so, thereby increasing the impact of this global voyage, Director Theodore instructed the airship to travel at a faster speed after leaving Hawaii.

On the 4th day of the global voyage, April 4, 9, the Dawn Airship finally reached the skies of Los Angeles, arriving at the largest city in the western United States.

The history of Los Angeles can be traced back to the late 8th ctury, with a history of over 0 years.

However, up until the mid9th ctury, ev though the gold rush in the west attracted many immigrants to Los Angeles, its population was only a ,600.

The rapid rise of Los Angeles, becoming the largest city in the west, actually occurred in the late 9th ctury and early 0th ctury.

Due to the discovery of oil, Los Angeles' economy quickly tered a prosperous era, and the city expanded rapidly.

Of course, the peak of this city is not now, but after two world wars, wh Los Angeles became a major American metropolis due to the growth of modern industry, commercial finance, tourism, and immigration.

As the second stop for the Dawn Airship in the United States and its last stop, the streets of Los Angeles have already gathered a significant number of American media and people.

People are curious about the unknown, especially actions with significant meaning, such as global voyages.

In the past, the American people may have thought they had se it all, from cars to airships and airplanes, the United States had a wide variety of means of transportation.

However, it was not until the news of the Australasian airship circumnavigating the world came without any information from any American airship companies that the American people realized that the United States is not omnipott in all aspects.

Suddly, a black dot appeared in the distant sky, growing larger and slowly turning .

"It's the airship! It's that Dawn Airship!"

Someone on the street excitedly said.

"Oh, damn, that thing looks bigger than a building. How did the Australasians make it fly?"

"Is it made of steel? This is truly a masterpiece of God. Are the Australasians going to use this thing to attack us?"

"Damn, hav't you guys thought about it falling? Find a place to hide, you idiots!"

As the airship approached, more and more voices were heard on the streets of Los Angeles, and the streets evtually came to a standstill.

Ev the passing vehicles couldn't help but stop to watch the huge airship in the sky.

Of course, most of these people were just ordinary residts of Los Angeles. As for the small capitalists and wealthy merchants, they were now standing in the skyscrapers with great interest.

"John, this is the Australasian airship? It's a big fella." Inside a skyscraper in Los Angeles, an American man who looked somewhat wealthy spoke to his companion.

"Nevermind anything else; the fact that the Australasians can make such an ormous thing fly is impressive. Daniel, don't you have plans to start an airship global travel company? Why not just use something like this? The gimmick has be created for you by the Australasians.

If you create an airship global travel company, I reckon you and the company will become famous the next day." The wealthy man's companion laughed and spoke to him.

"This is a big fella, and I'm afraid it'll take a lot of capital. John, do you have any interest in joining me for a big vture? We'll monopolize the tire American airship industry, and we'll be the new titans of this sector!" The wealthy man nodded without refuting his companion's viewpoint, looking at his companion with interest and asking.
