Chapter 535: Seeing and Hearing
Along the way, Ishtar acts like a redneck who has never seen the world. Whenever you see something new, you should be amazed, and the most common of them is the various human architecture.
Although these buildings had nothing to do with Valeera, a blood elf, she felt like she had built them herself in the face of Ishtar's admiration, and her heart was full of pride.
Of course, these admirations are not all contrived by Ishta, she does feel them, but usually even if she feels them, she will not show them. But in front of Valeera, she can let herself go to her heart's content. In her eyes, Valilla is no longer a master who needs to be served carefully, but a friend who can let go of her pretenses.
"My lord, this, this is the bridge?" This time, Isha finally failed to let out his usual exclamation, but spoke incoherently. Because the scene in front of me was so shocking.
On the vast river, two A-shaped towers hundreds of meters high stand tall, and two feet step into the deep river water, allowing the waves to wash away. Dozens of iron cables were dragged down at the top, pulling the bridge deck several kilometers long.
The off-road vehicle drove on it like a beetle, and on the bridge, you could even feel the feeling of emptiness and loneliness.
The temple on the central pillar of the city of Grosses was majestic, but it was only carved out of a natural stone pillar. And this bridge has no traces of nature, it is completely man-made, which gives Ishtar an unparalleled shock when he saw it for the first time.
"What are those people doing?" Isha asked, pointing to the piers. There was a spider-shaped machine holding a bridge pier on its back, carrying a large steel plate slowly lowering it, and there were a number of ships around, and a group of people with orange helmets were busy.
"I don't know, go over and ask."
Valera drove on, stopped by a pile of engineering vehicles, pulled an engineer captain and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
The engineer looked at Valeera's rank, a two-bar, two-star lieutenant colonel, and hurriedly saluted, "Report to the chief, we are reinforcing the bridge piers." Now there are many mutant monsters in the river, which are infinitely powerful, causing some damage to the bridge piers. We were ordered to reinforce the piers with steel plates and circles so that the blinding monsters wouldn't destroy them. ”
Valera nodded in understanding, people and animals in this world used to be weak chickens, and they only began to grow stronger after a doomsday cataclysm that swept the world. Structures that were previously indestructible are becoming more and more vulnerable to the increasingly powerful mutant beasts. The water monsters in the river are especially powerful.
The destructive power of small things such as mutant rats and mutant termites should not be underestimated. Last week, a residential building was nearly collapsed by mutant rats that cut off several support columns.
Tens of thousands of engineering troops of the Jiangdong 1st Army and the Longxiang Army were nervously reinforcing buildings during this time.
After crossing the bridge, you will enter the boundary of S City. The 1st Army of Jiangdong and the Longxiang Army were both stationed in S City, making S City the safest area in the surrounding area, and countless people squeezed their heads to immigrate over. As a result, the population here has grown rapidly, and the popularity has flourished, and a large number of construction sites are being built.
This time, not only Ishtar was amazed, but even Valera couldn't help but sigh, "The last time I came here, there were no such buildings." In just one month, so many buildings have been built, and many more are being built. ”
Ishtar said, "Did all this be made in a month?" So fast! I remember that it took us more than 200 years to build the temple on the stone pillars, and I don't know how many slaves died. ”
"Don't you see? Humans are built with large machines, and of course they are fast. ”
Estar has now realized the power of the machine. If nothing else, the off-road vehicle under the seat is comparable in power to an epic hero like her. And the speed of sprinting on the highway before was three points faster than her skill [Charge].
Moreover, this power and speed can be sustained, running from Gruces for hours without stopping. As for her words, the full burst can only last for ten minutes at most, and the [Charge] can only last for 3 seconds, which can't be compared to this off-road vehicle at all. And off-road vehicles are not comparable to those large construction vehicles at all.
According to Valeera, these machines are still pre-apocalyptic machines, and at that time, humans have not yet mastered spells, and the materials are only conventional materials. Today, new machines made with magic and new materials have several times the combined performance of these old-fashioned pure machines.
The so-called dwarf products must be high-quality products, and they are purely a joke in the eyes of humans in this world. Dwarves only have a few finely crafted top-level equipment that can still enter the eyes of human beings, and other large-scale weapons and equipment are not of the same grade in terms of cost and quality.
Now the Drow regiment has been fully equipped with the equipment provided by the humans, if it weren't for the dwarves who knew each other and formed an alliance with their masters early, Ishtar really wanted to give these stubborn dwarven slaves a little color, and catch a few dwarven slaves to make a windfall. Dwarven slaves are the only top slaves of the Dark Elves and are often unmarketable in the slave market.
In this world, the most important thing for human beings is technology. After occupying Grusses, Xiang Ningxuan immediately transferred most of the artisan technicians and enchanters in the city.
"How is this city so big! How many people do you have to live? "The off-road vehicle has been traveling through the urban jungle for almost an hour, and it still hasn't reached the Red Leaf District, where the headquarters of the Longxiang Army is located. When Esta first saw the tall buildings, he pointed at them excitedly. Now, she doesn't make a fuss when she sees any reinforced concrete buildings.
"It is said that there were more than 10 million people in the past, but now it should be more than 3 million." Valera learned through the latest news from the internal reference that Rong Zheng's jurisdiction had a population of about two million, and Xiang Ningxuan's jurisdiction was one and a half million.
For Ishtar, whether it is more than 10 million or 3 million, it is an incredible number of people, which is the size of hundreds of Grusses. The city of Grousses can only be considered a small town on this side.
And as far as she knew, there were hundreds of such cities in this republic. Thinking of this number, Ishtar couldn't help but be in awe, such a country, not to mention all the dark elves, even all the races in the entire underground world combined, can't be compared.
Some time ago, the rulers of Grosses were as ridiculous as a grasshopper shaking a tree in their delusional attempt to conquer such a country. People are only temporarily frustrated because they have encountered a terrible disaster. As soon as the dragon army arrived, Gruces had almost no power to resist, and even if Queen Rose appeared in person, she was beaten and had to break the web and flee for her life.
Ishtar said secretly: "Those dirt buns of Gruss, if I tell them what I see here, I will definitely be shocked." ”
It was about 300 kilometers from Gruces to the headquarters of the Long Xiang Army. Valera and Isha drove out in the morning, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Dragon Troop in the Red Leaf District.
