As a guest who helped out, Hao Ren and his party were entertained in Fireplace City—although the governor of the castle appeared to be a serious and rigid man, he was still respectful when he entertained the guests. It ’s just that in view of the desolate and degenerate status of the world, it will not be too comfortable to entertain as much as possible: Hao Ren they led under Willie to the castle-the ground floor of the old factory, there is a place along the outer wall here Rows of small rooms prepared for guests are surrounded by iron skins and compression molded panels. There are some simple furniture inside, shabby, and a faint smell, but it is already a very good room in the fireplace city.

As long as you see how many holes there are in the iron hut in the civilian area outside, Hao Ren knows that its own people have actually received a very high standard of hospitality.

This also shows that although the governor of the castle has a harsh attitude towards Willie, he actually still values ​​this son, otherwise he will not be so dedicated to the people who rescued his son.

Willie went to invite the famous "Auror Bachelor", Hao Ren all of them squeezed into a room and exchanged their opinions. After seeing the absurd and bizarre status quo of this ship's city, everyone has a lot of guesses and ideas, and now it is urgent to talk.

"Anyway, their heritage is obviously broken," Vivian said while looking out the window. From here, he could see the scene on the square, on the streets that were piled up with scrap iron plates and plastic blocks, A group of dirty children are running around, "Civilization has returned to the cold weapon era."

Nangong Wuyue muttered: "Social form has returned to the feudal kingdom period."

"The social form hasn't really changed. According to the previous findings on the Qunluan, these Ark residents were also monarchy during the high-tech period," Hao Ren waved his hand. "I'm curious here What needs to happen to make the whole society go backwards so neatly, these people do n’t seem to know the concept of the spaceship at all, they do n’t even know what the gravity system malfunctions mean. Terminal, analyze it. "

ASanbaA is in the pocket of Hao Ren, but transmits his voice directly to everyone ’s mind: “A huge reduction in population, or a complete collapse of the industrial base may lead to a significant retreat in civilization. , But it should n’t be as thorough as this-even if the technology is broken, people should at least know that their ancestors have been widened. Their current status is that they have no concept of their own world, just like ... "

Lily can't hold back curiosity: "What is it like?"

“It ’s like a whole generation of death,” ASanbaA said lightly. “Unless their entire generations are disconnected at the same time, resulting in the next generation who has not received any system education or only received little education, this is possible. Caused the roots of civilization to break. Or a memory cleansing, all knowledge of all people disappeared at the same time, and they could not find a remedy afterwards. "

"As far as we know, the Ark Fleet continued to malfunction during the second half of the voyage, and each spacecraft would have to rely on a patchwork to continue its operation, but this crisis will not cause us to watch here In these situations, "Vivian rubbed her eyebrows, she was well-informed, but at this time her knowledge was really useless," Ark's failures and accidents are a gradual process, and will not break the whole generation. . "

Hao Ren pondered silently, his eyes inadvertently swept through the window, and he saw three men in coarse robes in the dirty alleys outside maintaining the street lighting. One of the slightly older men climbed onto the light pole, carefully removed the broken light fixture and replaced the new one, then he came down from the light pole, bowed and pulled the lights and lines with the other two Down switch. When the new light bulb lighted up, watching the lively children nearby cheered suddenly, and some people even started singing, praising the "power elf" who brought light.

"They still have electricity and new light bulbs can be replaced. These people still know how to install these things-although they don't know the principle," Hao Ren pointed out the window. "Some functions of this ark are still working. For example, generators and factories, since these factories can still be used now, it means that it is not the failure of the maintenance system that caused the civilization to be cut off. "

"Isn't it the spaceship malfunction?" Nangong Maru frowned, "Is it just because of the civil war? From the spaceship civilization to the original feudalism?"

At this time, a "squeak" came from the door, and Willie pushed the door open: "Um ... sorry I should knock on the door, but the door is unlocked. I brought Bachelor Oro . "

An old man with a hunchback walked in from behind Willy. He looked at least eighty years old. His hair was all white and only a circle around his head was left. The wrinkles on his face almost spread to his neck. . The old man was wearing a thick and dirty cloth robe. A series of rings were woven with colored silk threads on the chest of the robe. Each ring was hung with a small metal object. Hao Ren looked closely. But they found that things like ornaments are actually capacitors, fuses, copper wire connectors and the like: Bachelors use these electronic parts as decorations on their clothes.

Lily was the first to stand up and greet the old bachelor with great enthusiasm: "Grandpa is good! Have you eaten?"

The strange way of greeting made the bachelor stunned. Then he laughed and said with a loud voice: "It ’s a spiritual little girl. I heard that a group of wandering fighters saved Willie. Those rough men in the castle, but they did not expect to have a polite lady. "

Willie helped the old bachelor sit down in the creaky chair at the door. Although he was the governor ’s son, he respected like an apprentice: "Teacher, these people are very interested in your wisdom. , They want to hear the stories you told me. "

"Oh? Oh ... Yes, those old stories," a trace of surprise struck the bachelor's face. He hadn't had time to hear more about the Hao Ren line from Willie, thinking that these people were from The wanderer from a remote place took a closer look at his turbid eyes, and found that these people, though strangely dressed, were bright and clean, and they were completely different from those wandering wanderers. "You are interested in this kind of thing? Few people except scholars have specialized in this boring legend this year. "

"We are just interested," Hao Ren smiled. "'Cold winter is coming'. The signs appeared many years ago. Now it's time to pay attention to the old people's warnings."

"Cold winter, cold winter is really coming ..." The old bachelor subconsciously tightened his robe, and when he heard this cold word, he looked serious, "Five years, from the ancestral furnace to the present It has been five years, which is much longer than the last time it slept. This world is getting colder day by day, half of the nose of the giant blowing the hot wind at the end of the world has been frozen, and the land of Rutherwetan began to snow last year. ... winter, this is really harsh winter. "

Hao Ren is almost certain that the "ancestor blast furnace" of the local population is the giant reactor and its control device, the central control station, at the end of this closed space. When he was on his way on Kingdom Avenue, he saw from afar that the status of the giant reactor was quite bad, although it was still running and it was a little more energetic than the extinguished reactor of Qunshan, but it was still more than half The grid is dim and dull.

The life support system of this ark seems to have reached its limit, and its power source will be shut down.

"How many times has the winter come?" Nangong Sanba asked curiously.

"How many times? Oh ... many times ... It happens once or twice every century, sometimes only lasts one year, sometimes it lasts more than ten years," the old bachelor ’s head shook up and down, "The cold winter lasting one year will only bring some shock, but the ten-year low temperature can kill one-third of the people. When there are too many dead people, the recycling furnace will even be filled, the **** in nightmares, That is really chilling. "

"But this winter doesn't seem to be so difficult," Willie suddenly cut his mouth. "It's not that cold. So far, it can keep warm in a leather jacket."

"That's because you are in the warmest place in the world," the old bachelor glanced at Willie reproachfully, "and the real cold is far from coming. The milder the winter comes, the more terrible it is because the slow Cooling means warming up more slowly, and the duration of winter will be very, very long. "

The locals used their own way of understanding to explain the changes in the environment of the ship ’s city after the failure of the core power furnace. Their theory is also well-organized and justified, but it is far from the truth of the world. In a limited knowledge system, people simply cannot understand that their world is supported by a huge machine.
