Chapter 778: Heart of the Holy City
【Steam City】
Also known as the "Heart of the Holy City", it is an embedded city.
As we all know, the Holy City is a super-giant city in the form of a "spire", which divides the Holy City (the surface part) into four tiers from the bottom to the highest through the Staircase of the Gods:
The first floor - the outer ring of the city wall, the civilian area.
The second level, the inner ring level (200 meters above sea level), contains the National Royal Knight Academy, commercial and trade areas, aristocratic settlements, small and medium-sized associations, etc.
The third level - the core level (500 meters above sea level) contains the royal family, the Holy See, the headquarters of the various knights, large associations, etc.
The fourth floor - the top floor (1000 meters above sea level), the district where the Supreme Council is located.
The so-called "Steam City" is embedded in the inner layer of this spire-like city.
103 years of the Eternal Night.
Through the first generation of the chief engineer of the construction of the Holy City and the chief of the Steam Knights - Kitto. Leslie, together with a total of 219 architectural engineers, has developed an internal expansion project for the Holy City called "Eternal Heart".
Attempt to harness the power gained from the Destiny Space with the steam technology currently in your possession.
In the inner mountain area of the second and third floors of the Holy City, a super-giant steam power core has been built, which can solve the problem of energy supply in the Holy City.
When the plan is presented to Parliament.
Senior Councillor Valentine. Z. Green, Examiner Washington. Cliveman and the Executive Yuan presiding officer Brewster. Letligov, while agreeing to this expansion project, also proposed to deepen the renovation of the expansion project.
They have a longer-term view.
If you want to expand the inside of the tower, instead of building a giant power supply center, you should create an embedded city.
While satisfying the energy supply of the Holy City, a secret base specializing in the development of steam technology has been created, so that science and destiny can develop together.
In this way, after eight years of revisions to the programme.
The plan for the construction of the Steam City was finalized, and the entire Steam Knights were asked to move into it.
At the same time, we recruited talents who were proficient in machinery from all over the Holy City, including the civilian areas, and invested in the construction of the Steam City.
Even now, the special development route of "Mechanical Apprentice" is still retained, and as long as the apprentice who passes the annual exam meets the standard, he can devote himself to the study of steam science without participating in the fate screening.
Of course, confident young people can also take the Destiny Race and major in mechanics at the Knight Academy.
There are hidden entrances on the second and third floors of the Holy City.
Due to the fact that the Steam City involves the core technology of the Holy City, as well as the top secret of the Great Expedition, the identity of the entrants is very strictly checked, and the introduction of pollution is required to be avoided 100%.
Even if you are an official knight, you need an invitation to enter.
……
Artisan Quarter.
The deepest part of a mechanical original factory.
The interior of a giant steam locomotive manufacturing workshop clings to a stone wall of a mountain.
It is full of semi-mechanized or fully mechanized security personnel, as well as dense surveillance facilities.
The huge word "enter" is engraved on the wall.
"Please show your valid ID stating the purpose of your trip to [Steam City]."
Charlie handed out the knightly medals of the three men, and explained the meaning in a coercive voice:
"My friend" Frankie. Kande: "I want me to help him deal with the efficient and intelligent problem of the robot puppet...... At the same time, my adoptive father, Lindbergh, asked me to bring some words to the vice president of the Steam Society, Rulif.
These two are my helpers and will be with me the whole time. ”
"Verifying, please wait......"
About a minute passed.
The robot visa officer in front of him smiled, handed back the knight's medal, and gave a collective temporary pass to ensure that the three of them were together at all times.
The guards in Steam City will check the identity of outsiders at any time, and will be expelled immediately if they fail to show their passes.
This will be followed by a series of full-body tests to ensure that entrants are not carrying any contaminants.
Boom~ Riding a horizontal moving machine, it moved about 200 meters between the mountains full of metal frames and steam pipes.
A solid copper gate embedded with gears appeared in front of him.
Large and small gears vaguely outline the portrait of the fat [gold owner] on the door body.
Authentication has passed.
The huge bronze door separates itself.
A cross-generational steam city unfolded in front of Han Dong's eyes.
This embedded city represents the current world, the highest point of the technology tree of the human race...... Cities that have achieved artificial intelligence and efficient use of energy through steam technology without the help of electricity.
All trainee knights and knights will be transported here after clearing the Destiny Space, and the pure copper brought out will be transported here after handing in.
The heavy metallic smell had been inhaled into Han Dong's nasal cavity for the first time.
However, Han Dong's attention was completely drawn to this beautiful city of steam, which completely overturned his view of the city's technology to some extent.
At first, Han Dong thought that the end of the world was coming, and that human beings would survive by relying on the space of destiny, and that science and technology would stagnate.
Facts have proved that no matter what kind of world it is, scientific researchers have always existed, and they will certainly be an important pillar of human development.
"OMG! Is this the dynamic heart of the Holy City? ”
Han Dong stood on the outermost metal aisle, overlooking this incomparable metal city, and was stunned for five minutes.
In addition to using railways and steam locomotives as transportation vehicles, there is also a super-efficient air vehicle here - [Rust Whale]
An all-metal powered airship modeled after a whale.
According to the size and use, there is a difference between carrying people and cargo.
The most eye-catching is the "Main Heart" of Steam City, which is occupied by only a huge building.
Eternal Heart.
The source of power in the Holy City - "The-"
The super-giant cylindrical tower, with tens of thousands of pipes branching out at its bottom, is closely connected to the buildings of the Steam City, like 'tree roots', drawing a steady stream of energy from other buildings.
The top of the cavern reaches the highest point in the interior, and further upwards will cross the surface to reach the council district.
It is rumored that at the very top of the "Pillar of Steam (The-)", it corresponds to the [Treasury of the Gold Lord].
There are mountains of gold and silver piled up inside, and all valuable treasures are stored in it, which is used as a large bed for the gold lord to sleep.
"This is the City of Steam, the masterpiece that the engineers of the Holy City have spent nearly a hundred years building and perfecting...... The mechanical engineering and research that is being carried out here will be an indispensable part of the Great Expedition. ”
