The Kingfisher Train
Kellen entered "1964 Japan bullet train" on the touchpad. It blinked and
suddenly Kellen was taken back to the studio of Hideo Shima. He floated,
invisible, above Hideo's drawing board. Kellen was thrilled to see his favorite
inventor at work. On it was a sketch of a bullet train and a kingfisher, diving
for fish. Hideo said, "When the train leaves a tunnel at over 300 kilometers
per hour, it creates a shock wave that booms like thunder. Residents don't
like the noise." Hideo continued, "I'll change the train's shape to mimic the
kingfisher's long, thin beak. It will move quietly. Now technology and Nature
will work together."
