Chapter 317

The Feipeng soared into the sky, gliding above the sea of clouds. Once the cabin had stabilized, Zhou Tieyi stood by the bay window with a glass of wine, gazing out at the scenery. He had to admit that the Mohist Feipeng mechanism was even better than he had imagined. In terms of both safety and comfort, it far surpassed the airplanes of his past life, and its payload capacity was more than ten times that of a similarly sized aircraft. It had many advantages, but also significant drawbacks. Its "slowness" was one, and its high production cost was another. Yet, neither was fatal. It was foreseeable that even with steam trains operated by ordinary people, the Feipeng would remain a premier mode of transport for elite travelers—the Upper Three Ranks—or even for the wealthy when they chose to travel in style. Indeed, the Feipeng was often the preferred choice for such figures, as it was for Zhou Tieyi’s own party.
