From the city gate to the city wall, there is a 3-meter-wide bluestone road in front of you.

On Bluestone Road, there are several small shops that cover an area of less than 2 meters wide, selling some snacks and fun things.

These small shops are on the left and on the right, and if you go all the way forward, you have to follow a zigzag route to bypass each shop.

On both sides of the bluestone road, there are two ladder belts with a width of 7 meters!

The beautiful guide gave Jin Zixuan a detailed introduction to the size of this 'ladder around the city':

Each side of the ladder belt is divided into 7 ladders, the first one is the slowest near the bluestone road, about 1 meter wide, then the next 5 are only 60 centimeters, adding up to a total of 3 meters, and the last one near the edge of the city wall, a single one is 3 meters wide!

In other words, the entire wall is 17 meters thick...

There is a 3-meter bluestone road in the middle, and a 7-meter 'ring ladder' on each side.

The speed of this ladder around the city is faster than that of ordinary ladders, the slowest one is 1 meter wide, and the speed is nearly 1 meter per second.

Although it seems to be about the same as the average ladder of 0.7 meters per second, for the slow elderly, this little difference is enough to make many old people worry.

After that, each ladder was almost 1 meter per second faster than the previous one, until the last 3-meter-wide ladder was already close to 7 meters per second!

Jin Zixuan swallowed his saliva, he was shocked by the endless city wall and the cloud ladder around the city.

The beautiful guide accompanied Jin Zixuan to help Grandma slowly and section by section walk up the cloud ladder around the city near the inner side of Xianjing, and then continued to explain:

"Today, the entire Senkyo is about 25 kilometers in diameter, so the city wall is nearly 80 kilometers long.

Standing on the ladder around the city, it only takes more than 3 hours to go around the city!

The fastest high-speed ladder in the city is about 7 meters per second, and it only takes more than 1 hour to traverse the entire Xianjing in theory. ”

The three of them walked to the innermost side of the city wall, stood on the widest ladder, and helped Grandma grasp the innermost handrail, Jin Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the inside of Xianjing City.

......

Blowing the breeze on the city wall, what greeted me was a city scene that Jin Zixuan had never seen before!

In the vast Xianjing City, there are rows and rows of neat buildings, although all the buildings have different forms and characteristics, but the height is very uniform, and the highest is only 3 floors.

Countless trees and flowers in the city are also uniformly limited to a height of no more than 12 meters.

At intervals, there is a watchtower, which is only 18 meters tall and less than five floors, but has a very wide view because all the buildings are of the same height.

Basically, all the buildings maintain the style of ancient oriental architecture.

The roof is made of various gray or colored glazed tiles.

Between the buildings and the streets, there were bursts of faint water vapor, as if the whole city was not on the earth, but above the clouds in the sky!

There are also a large number of buildings with unique decoration styles, deliberately on the buildings near the ground, decorated with patterns and sculptures similar to clouds, etc., which set off Xianjing like a real country of abundance.

It's Senkyo!

If Jin Zixuan hadn't known that this was land, I'm afraid that at a glance, he would have mistakenly thought that this was the Heavenly Palace where the immortals on the clouds lived!

Countless people live in Xianjing, they walk, talk, and do all kinds of activities in the white vapor, and the market is extremely lively, as if everyone has become a real immortal!

And the streets between the rows of buildings, some wide and some narrow.

The widest street you pass through is a 'high-speed ladder' road that is more than ten meters wide similar to that above the city wall.

Unlike the 'Ring Ladder', the 'High-Speed Ladder' is a 14-meter-wide ladder that is placed side by side, and the closer you get to the middle barrier, the faster you are.

There are 4 'high-speed ladders' that run through the whole city, and the whole of Senkyo is cut into 8 parts in the shape of 'm'.

On the 'Ring Ladder', you can see or change to the 'high-speed ladder' every less than 25 minutes.

Other streets where there are no 'high-speed ladders' have a small number of ladders of varying speeds.

Basically, anywhere in the entire Senkyo, you can take it by walking a few steps and then transfer to wherever you want to go.

The cloud ladder in the Senkyo also exudes a faint vapor.

People are moving on the ladder, as if they are really flying through the clouds...

Not to mention that Grandma was surprised, Jin Zixuan was shocked by this veritable immortal city!

The two of them lay on the handrail of the 'Cloud Ladder around the City' on the inner side of the city wall, staring blankly at the scene of Xianjing, and it was difficult to recover from the shock for a long time.

The guide smiled with satisfaction, basically all the people who came to Xianjing had this reaction, so she was not surprised, and she was not in a hurry to disturb the two.

The 'Highway Ladder' street that I just passed is where Gate 260 should be transferred.

Every 10 city gates, there will be a transfer place, there are a lot of reminder signs along the way, especially near the 8 transfer gates, there will be signs to remind the transfer and slow down in advance.

However, the guide was not in a hurry to say so much in one breath, she waited for Jin Zixuan and Grandma to come back to their senses before continuing to introduce Xianjing little by little.

The three of them were not in a hurry, so they were going to stay on the wall of this Xianjing City for a few hours, go around and enjoy the entire Xianjing, and then go into the city to eat at noon.

......

Although lying on the armrest was much easier than standing, Grandma was older and soon felt tired.

Jin Zixuan took out the folding chair and asked Grandma to sit down.

This folding chair was bought nearby, and I heard the guide's sister say that everyone will bring one when they go out in Xianjing, so Jin Zixuan also bought one.

"Sister guide, aren't you tired, are you? ”

"Jin Gongzi said with a smile, of course people are not tired!"

Jin Zixuan nodded, the most popular folding chairs in Xianjing are all composed of cloth and metal supports, and these fabrics are also decorated like clouds, like fairy cloud mounts.

At a glance, there are all kinds of magical 'mounts' on the cloud ladder in Xianjing City.

For example, those who sit on the 'Phoenix', those who sit on the 'Dragon', those who sit on the 'Pegasus'...

If you can't drive a car together, the small bench will become a mount~

Jin Zixuan couldn't help but think in his heart that the rich man in Xianjing would say:

"Is my Xiangyun bench cool? Is my Golden Dragon bench handsome......"

After recovering from the shock, Jin Zixuan looked at the circle of city walls in the center of Xianjing, and the circle of city walls inside was about the same height as the city wall he was in, so it was basically impossible to see inside the city wall. He was curious:

"What's this inner wall...?"

The classical beauty guide explained with a smile:

"That's the 2-ring city wall we're going to, and above the city wall is the 2-ring 'ring ladder'

The imperial city is in the middle of Xianjing, with a radius of about 2 kilometers;

Outside the imperial city, nearly 4 kilometers away, there is a ring of city walls, and the people living in the ring are all the relatives of the emperor, the princes and ministers;

More than 3 kilometers further out is the 2nd Ring Road, and the 2nd Ring Road is full of all the rich and powerful people in Xianjing;

We are on the 3rd ring wall, which is also the widest.

Because the predecessor of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, planned to ring around the city for no more than 4 hours, so the future 4 ring city wall will definitely have to be wider, so that the ladder speed is faster, so as to facilitate the travel of everyone in Xianjing...

Don't look at how grand Xianjing is now, if Xianjing expands the ring less than 3 kilometers, the total area will increase by half, and the next 5 rings will be expanded by less than 3 kilometers, and the total area will be twice as large as it is now!

According to the plan of the God of Wealth last year, Xianjing can be expanded to a maximum of 8 rings. ”

Speaking of which, the look of the classical beauty guide was a little lonely.

Jin Zixuan frowned, and he asked strangely:

"What's wrong? What do you think is wrong with repairing the 8th ring?"

Sister Guide shook her head and sighed:

"No, I've been very proud to tell people about this before!

However, the God of Wealth died a few months ago, and since then, the construction of Xianjing has been suspended until now.

You see that there are so many ladders in the parking lot outside the city, in fact, they are all built for the layout of the 4th ring of Xianjing, and now..."

Jin Zixuan suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that there was no need to build so many ladders in this parking lot, and he didn't understand why it was designed like this.

It turned out to be the layout for the next stage of Xianjing construction!

He thought that the beauty guide was sad because of Zhao Caishen's death, so he didn't take her loss to heart.

......

Nodding, Jin Zixuan continued to be curious:

"Why is Xianjing built according to a circle? Also, if Xianjing continues to expand in the future, will all the 'high-speed ladders' have to be dismantled and rebuilt?"

The cheongsam guide raised his head, cheered up and smiled:

"It's not a demolition and reconstruction, Xianjing's 'Cloud Ladder Academy' is specialized in the study of cloud ladders, it seems that their 'Cloud Ladder' technology is very mature, as long as the outermost high-speed Cloud Ladder is transformed, and then a new auxiliary ladder is added to speed up the old Cloud Ladder as a whole, I don't know the specifics. ”

Jin Zixuan nodded... Forget it, I don't understand it anymore...

"As for why it's round, in fact, Senkyo wasn't round before. ”

Jin Zixuan was silent, he knew that Xianjing was not round before, and the last time he crossed over to become Zhao Gongming, the circle of the capital was still relatively irregular.

Why did it become what it is now, I have to listen to the guide sister continue to tell:

"At first, with the steam car, Xianjing built a lot of roads.

Later, as there were more and more cars in the capital, the parking problem became bigger and bigger, and the God of Wealth launched the first round of reforms.

At that time, the Cloud Ladder Academy was established, and it took more than 7 years to arrange many cloud ladders in the 1st Ring Road of Xianjing, and for the first time, the construction of the 'Cloud Ladder around the city' began on the ring city wall.

After a period of development, Yunti Academy produced a talent and invented a series of new technologies.

After the "ladder technology" was greatly improved, the God of Wealth directly planned to renovate the entire Xianjing, and with the support of the royal family, the palace built a new city wall, and the original 1 ring city wall was also demolished and rebuilt...

After that, the imperial palace was enlarged a lot, and Senkyo also began to build a two-ring castle wall.

At the same time, the first two 'ten'-shaped 'high-speed ladders' were built from outside the Imperial Palace, and the high-speed ladders were not as wide and fast as they are now.

Gradually, after Xianjing did not need a car, it began to stipulate that cars were not allowed to enter Xianjing City.

After the construction of the 3rd ring, the high-speed ladder accelerated again, and two new high-speed ladders were added, and the four high-speed ladders became the current 'm' shape.

Every time Senkyo expanded, the palace would adjust and become larger.

After the completion of the 3rd Ring Road, the parking lot outside the 3rd Ring Road and the future layout of the 4th Ring Road will begin.

Pity... Maybe the 4th ring won't be repaired again..."

After listening briefly, Jin Zixuan nodded, sure enough, no matter how big the fairy city is, it is developing little by little, and the promotion of science and technology is often step-by-step, not that some technologies will be achieved overnight.

As for the guide's worries, Jin Zixuan chuckled lightly and didn't care.

Social development doesn't stop because one or two important people are missing...

Zhao Gongming is dead, the technology is still there, the university is still there, and there will be capable people in the future!

Coming to the vicinity of City Gate 146, Jin Zixuan gradually became somewhat familiar with the layout of Xianjing, so he considered that the three of them would transfer to Beijing at City Gate 130~

He still had a lot of doubts at first, and along the way, the guide sister answered his questions and answered his questions.

Some strange technology made Jin Zixuan gasp, in addition to the ladder technology, there is also an inexplicable 'liquid steaming technology', anyway, it is a very efficient steam reform technology, which is also one of the most important technologies to support this steam era!

There is also a fossil fuel refining technology!

It stands to reason that such a large amount of burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil will definitely produce an incomparably large amount of harmful gases!

In the records of the orc world, some large European cities have been reduced to fog capitals, and many countries in the other world Jin Zixuan have also experienced the shroud of haze, but Xianjing has not...

Although there is a lot of water vapor in this Xianjing, it doesn't look like there is fog or haze at all!

These inexplicable technologies made Jin Zixuan feel incredible.

According to the guide's sister, after the God of Wealth gathered the wealth of the whole country at once and initiated many changes, the national strength was unprecedentedly strong in a few years.

After that, the God of Wealth began to engage in scientific and technological research and development!

Under the abundant social productive forces and sufficient material energy guarantee, the whole country, under the leadership of the capital, has blown a hurricane of scientific and technological leaps. In addition to the God of Wealth directly bringing steam engine-related technology, countless geniuses who emerged later have also made achievements.

The country's scientific and technological level has risen several steps in just a few decades!

Under the reminder of the sign, the guide took Jin Zixuan and Grandma to slow down step by step, got down the cloud ladder around the city, and came to the No. 130 city gate tower.

Here, Jin Zixuan also unexpectedly saw several magical railroad tracks outside the city!

Almost all the high-speed ladder city gates in Xianjing have railroad tracks, at the beginning, Jin Zixuan in order to be familiar with the national conditions, he did not take the railway directly to Xianjing, otherwise he did not go to the tour guide college to be investigated, but he could not enter this strictly managed Xianjing City.

The railroad tracks outside Gate 130 are a bit different from ordinary trains, not only are there many tracks here, but there is also an endless stream of steam trains, and these trains are all loaded with fuels such as coal and oil.

"This is..."

"Young Master Jin is going here, don't look at it, the control here is very strict.

That is the energy purification route of the entire Xianjing, and all the fuel in Xianjing is pulled from here to the energy refinery by the sea, refined into clean energy, and then pulled back for use.

The energy refinery is now the nation's most important asset, worth far more than money and food in the past. Therefore, in the future, Young Master Jin had better inquire less and watch less of these things, otherwise once he is suspected of plotting against him, it may bring a lot of trouble!"

Jin Zixuan nodded and responded, which was a little less doubtful.

After getting off the cloud ladder around the city, the three of them finally entered the city gate and came to the Xianjing City.

The streets under the city wall are not deserted, the popularity is not bad, there are many imperial lists posted at the bottom of the city wall, and there are many onlookers, but the atmosphere is very dull.

"What are they doing?"

Jin Zixuan was curious, but the tour guide didn't answer him, and when he saw that the tour guide was very depressed, he didn't continue to ask, but walked towards the crowd by himself.
