Kapitel 262: 255 trackless maglev supersonic train

Bai Zhongqi sat by the window of the train, resting his chin on his hand, looking at the scenery outside the window that was too blurred to even cast shadows.

This was a trackless magnetic levitation supersonic train (TMALST), which had become even more popular than airplanes as a mode of transporting for both short and long distances. By building ground stations, a magnetic field was formed at low altitude to lift hundreds of tons of the train and propel it at high speeds of Mach 1.5 through the air. This technology had caused a sensation as soon as it was introduced into China. Naturally, any technology that Iridium Star brought to Earth was sensational.
