Chapter 274: Holding an old book in his hand.

Su Chen's appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. He stood on the streets of London, feeling everything here, which was completely different from the world he had lived in before. He quickly realized that he had not only traveled through time and space, but also came to a Marvel world full of unknowns and mysteries.

Just as Su Chen was thinking about how to adapt to this new environment, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horse hooves. Looking back, he saw a carriage galloping towards him. The driver looked nervous, as if he was avoiding something. Then, several people in black windbreakers appeared in Su Chen's sight. They were holding weapons and obviously had bad intentions.

Su Chen's heart tightened, realizing that this was a surprise attack. He quickly dodged and hid in the shadows to the side, observing the development of the situation. The carriage was forced to stop, and the driver was controlled by several men in black. A middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat walked out of the carriage with a panicked look.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" the middle-aged man asked in a trembling voice.

One of the men in black sneered, "We're here for that document, you'd better hand it over."

Su Chen heard this and thought to himself that this document was obviously very important, otherwise it would not have attracted so many enemies. He decided to help. Although he did not fully understand this world, he knew that he could not stand idly by.

When the men in black were about to attack the middle-aged man, Su Chen rushed forward quickly. He was agile and nimble, and subdued two men in black in a few moves. The remaining men in black saw that the situation was not good and fled.

The middle-aged man looked at Su Chen with gratitude, "Thank you, young man. You saved my life."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "It's just a piece of cake. I wonder if you can tell me what that document is? Why did it attract so many enemies?"

The middle-aged man sighed, "This document involves an extremely important scientific invention. If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous. My name is Henry Fitzroy, and I am a researcher at the Royal Academy of Sciences."

Su Chen nodded, and he realized that this world not only has superheroes, but also many undiscovered secrets. The appearance of Henry gave him new hope and inspired his determination to explore this world.

"Mr. Henry, I have just come to this world and there are many things I don't understand yet. Could you please tell me in detail the contents of this document and how to protect it?" Su Chen asked sincerely.

Henry nodded and took Su Chen back to his research institute. There, Henry showed Su Chen a research report on the "time-space travel device". This document described in detail a device that can travel through time and space, which was the prototype of the crystal held by Su Chen.

"So that's it, this crystal is the key to the time-space travel device." Su Chen looked at the crystal in his hand, his heart full of doubts and expectations. He understood that this was not only the clue for him to return to his original time and space, but also the key to unlock the secrets of this world.

Henry continued, "If this invention falls into the wrong hands, it will bring immeasurable disaster. We must protect this document and find more clues to uncover the mystery of time travel."

Su Chen nodded deeply. He decided to uncover the mystery of this time and space with Henry. Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, he knows that he has taken the first step. In this world full of superheroes and miracles, he will use his wisdom and courage to write his own legend.

This year, the British Empire has colonies on every continent except Antarctica... The prosperous Rochester has already reached the snowy season...

By the end of 1898, the British Empire had extensive colonies on every continent except Antarctica. During this prosperous period, Britain's influence spread across the globe, from India in Asia to Egypt in Africa, to North America and Oceania, with the British flag flying in every corner of every continent.

In the UK, Rochester, a once important port city, has entered the snowy season. In the cold winter, the streets are covered with white snow, and the roofs and branches are covered with crystal icicles. Rochester's architectural style is ancient and elegant, and the church bells echo in the quiet of the morning after the snow. The whole city is shrouded in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Su Chen stood on the street of Rochester, looking at this strange and ancient city. He has adapted to this new time and space environment, and gradually become familiar with British culture and customs. However, his heart is still full of thoughts about his mission - to find the secret of the time-space travel device, protect this key document, and try his best to explore the unknown areas of this world.

The streets of Rochester were sparsely populated, as most people had already taken shelter in their warm homes to avoid the cold weather. Su Chen decided to go to the local library to find out more about time-travel devices and other technological inventions. He knew that only through learning and research could he better understand the world and increase his chances of success in his adventure.

In the library of Rochester, Su Chen read a lot of books and documents on science and history. He found that although the level of science and technology in this era is relatively advanced, the exploration of supernatural phenomena such as time travel is still in its infancy. However, some studies and hypotheses show that humans began to explore the mysteries of time and space as early as several centuries ago, although most of these attempts ended in failure.

Just as Su Chen was immersed in his research, a light cough was heard in the library. He looked up and saw a young man wearing glasses and dressed stiffly standing in front of him, holding an old book in his hand.

"Are you also looking for information about technological inventions?" the young man asked, his voice a little shy.

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am very interested in time travel and other technological inventions."

There was a flash of surprise in the young man's eyes, and then he showed a friendly smile, "My name is Arthur, and I'm the library assistant here. If there's anything you want to know, I can help."

The two quickly established a relationship, with Arthur sharing his unique insights into technology and history, while Su Chen shared his adventures and experiences from different worlds. They exchanged ideas about the possible technological principles and implementation methods of the time-space travel device. Although these ideas were full of unknowns and assumptions, every possibility excited Su Chen.

On this snowy afternoon in Rochester, Su Chen and Arthur discussed the possibilities of the future. They didn't know what challenges they would face, but they both believed that as long as they worked together, everything was possible.
