The ancestor blast furnace-this huge yet ancient giant machine is groaning painfully, its surface is dark, almost all the heat dissipation grids and light signals are dim and dull, and the waves of low noise are constantly From the depths, it sounded like a kind of monster's mourning before death. There are traces of the previous explosion remaining on the vicissitudes of the outer shell: a striking crack extending obliquely from the top of the main reactor shell, almost penetrating the main body of the ancestor's blast furnace, and the crack Smoke and small-scale electric sparks continue to appear, and there still seems to be something running there, but in this case, this thing can be completely shut down. It is more reassuring than lingering on: Hao Ren is very worried about whether it will produce it. An explosion.
“The core should have been shut down,” ASanbaA quickly scanned the energy reading inside the ancestor ’s kiln and gave a slightly reassuring conclusion. “There is still some surge of current left in the suspected buffer layer for a short time. There is no explosion inside. "
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. He smelled a strong burnt smell in the air. At first, he thought that the engine of the "steel beast chariot" was finally scrapped. Later, he realized that this was the previous scene. Smoke from the explosion. There was too much gas leaked during the accident of the giant reactor. The severely disrepaired purification pumps on the bulkheads of nearby refuges could not cope with the incident. Now the entire urban area is filled with the pungent smell of burning chemicals.
Under the leadership of Willie and a group of soldiers in the royal city, the crowd arrived in the capital of the Kingdom of the Tower. This royal city is more magnificent and dignified than the fireplace city, and it is different from the garbage-like far-end city-state. This royal city is obviously carefully constructed by many craftsmen-it stands next to the "ancestor burial furnace", with an ancient The antenna broadcasting tower or some other tower is the core. Around the tower, the craftsmen built a seven-story, hexagonal classic castle with cement and steel. The castle has bright flags flying, and the knights with bright armor stand on guard. Hundreds of complete glass windows shone brightly under the lights, and around this castle were neat houses and spacious streets. Some of these houses were slightly rebuilt from the original buildings of the refuge city, and some were simply built by craftsmen from scratch. After getting rid of the problem of using **** and waste to decorate the walls, these houses looked beautiful and majestic.
At least compared to other city-states.
There is a tall wall around the king city. This wall is also built with new materials-"new materials" here refers to things other than garbage. The craftsmen who built the Wangcheng did not know where they got so much cement and new steel plates. They made the walls strong and beautiful, unlike the materials collected from the ruins of the refuge. Perhaps the king of the tower has the privilege of occupying an ancient building material warehouse that has not been exhausted?
In any case, the construction of a royal city will undoubtedly consume huge wealth, especially in a refuge like this.
The tall tower is densely populated, far more prosperous than other city-states in the Ark. Here are some brightly dressed citizens and spirited knights. People are walking on the street, and various vendors are selling strange and strange things in the streets. Commodities-mainly utensils, food, cloth, and metal sheets without rust. The prosperity here is a bit surprising. It is almost like a normal and prosperous medieval city-state, with no trace of starship shelters at all-unless you look up to the sky, there is another city upside down.
Hao Ren The "steel beast chariot" and the "skeletal chariot" of the Iron City State were stopped outside the city. Those loud and dirty machines were not allowed to enter the city, just like on ancient earth Some countries do not allow mules from the countryside to step into the royal city.
"Among the four kingdoms in the world, only the capital city of the Tower Kingdom is so close to the ancestor Honglu," Willie proudly introduced the capital of his country to Hao Ren. Fort is the first human city-state at the beginning of the world. God created humans in this place and allowed humans to survive in the city. The watchtower at the top of Honglubao is exactly flush with the first circle of the ancestor Honglu It is a stairway to the spirit of the ancestors. Everyone who dies in this world must enter the oven through the first ring and be reborn as part of the world. The Kingdom of the High Tower is the most important because of the tower. Close to the place of world circulation. No matter how tragic the dispute between the four kings, this great city has never fallen. "
The tall tower that Willie refers to is the spire at the top of the castle in the middle of the royal city. It also hangs an antenna transmitter with a history of tens of thousands of years. The name of the tower kingdom may be from this Obtained from the tower, and the so-called "first ring" is the outermost steel structure of the core reactor, which should be the condensing component of the reactor. In the eyes of locals, this complex and exquisite ring has Same as general meaning.
"So all the bachelors of the four kingdoms must come to the king capital of the tower kingdom when discussing the ancestors?" Vivian feels this incredible, "Are n’t you all enemies of each other? People from the other three countries? Just come to the capital of the enemy country for a meeting? And do you still let them in? "
"This is an ancient sacred covenant," Willy said seriously. "No one dared to break the oath under the ancestor blast furnace. During the truce, no one should kill and bleed at the blast furnace."
Bachelor Oro explained this problem from a historical perspective: "The Kingdom of the Tower is the descendant of the royal family of the first dynasty in ancient times. Although that dynasty has fallen apart, the blood of the royal descendants is unquestionable. The Kingdom of the Tower is always in this world. Orthodoxy, and the other three kingdoms are just stray people who split out because of curses. When it comes to the fundamental crisis of the world, all kingdoms must put aside disputes and discuss matters before the throne of the only true king. This is a must . "
Lily is particularly interested in such gossip: "The Kingdom of the Tower is the descendant of the original royal family? How about other countries?"
"The ancestors of the Iron City State are mechanics, the Liberty City State is inherited from civilians, businessmen and craftsmen, and the Fortress of Stars is a descendant of a group of scholars," Bachelor Oro said slowly. "This is recorded in the history books."
"It ’s a weird society," Nangong Wuyue put out her tongue. She saw a group of fancy, oil-painted people with artificial leather on their backs walking from the other side of the street noisily and could n’t help but be a little surprised. , "Isn't this the" traveller "that I saw on the road before? Did they also enter the city?"
"No, they are bachelors and soldiers of the Liberty City," explains Oro. "The people of the Liberty City really look a bit like the wanderers in the wilderness. In fact, people often confuse the two: because they It ’s really ambiguous. But after all, Liberty City is still one of the four kingdoms, and their capital is built on the Bron Heights on the other side of the world. Half of the world ’s leather and fabric are produced from the synthesis plant there. . "
Although the towering kingdom occupies a "land of gods" next to the ancestor's furnace, the kings of the other three kingdoms also have their own unshakable status. The capital of the Liberty City State controls the lifeblood of the cold protection on the other side of the world, and the capital of the Iron City State is a key point called the "mechanical core". From the description of Auro, Hao Ren judges that it may be the city of the ship. The hub of material recycling, Qunxingbao is the smallest of the four kingdoms, but it is the seat of the learning tower. It trains generations of intellectuals, representing the mysteries and wisdom of this world. In the dispute between the four kings, Qunxingbao is almost You can use this to maintain the neutrality of the homeland.
The four kingdoms, so crowded in a 100-kilometre-long closed world, intertwined with each other and entangled with each other, forming a grotesque complex situation, it is difficult to explain how they are in the hundreds to thousands This situation formed during the year, but Hao Ren believes that any smart sociologist will be blind when he comes to this refuge ark: there is a crazy social model, and the logic and common sense are almost gone.
"Then we should do something?" Nangong Sanba asked curiously, "When are you going to investigate the situation of the ancestor Honglu?"
"All bachelors must go to the castle to meet the king and discuss issues," Bachelor Oro raised his finger to the far castle. "You can wait in the city, Willie knows where to go."
Some of the Knights of the King City came from the direction of the castle. They were specially recruiting bachelors from all over the world. Oro left under the leadership of these soldiers, leaving Hao Ren and Willie in place.
"I know where the hotel is," Willie shook a small sign hanging on his chest. "The emblem of Fireplace City allows us to each be divided into a room. Let's rest for one night, today is too Late, the bachelor may not be able to come back tomorrow. "
Vivian suddenly looked up at the ancestor Honglu, looking at the dimmed heat dissipation grid and coil pipes, her brows gradually wrinkled.
Hao Ren noticed this: "What's the matter?"
"I suddenly heard ..." Vivian continued to frown, "There seems to be something calling me over there." (To be continued.)
