Chapter 144: Universal City
"What do you remember?"
Chen Shi saw her solemn look and couldn't help asking.
"I used to look through the records of the library, hundreds of years ago, when the defense city was just established, I once encountered a 'strange spirit' that almost destroyed a defense city halfway."
Xingdian pondered and recalled: "The 'alien spirit' did not alarm any defense, but dug a hole over the front wall and directly entered the defensive city, which caused people to be caught off guard...... Afterwards, each fortified city built a stronger underground defense system to prevent such accidents from happening. But in the hundreds of years since, there has never been a similar 'alien spirit' capable of digging holes. ”
Chen Shi's eyelids jumped when he heard this: "Wait, then there won't be another 'alien spirit' digging a hole in, right?" ”
"If it wants to dig a hole in the defense city, it will be impossible, it will definitely alarm the underground defense system, what I am afraid of is ......"
Xingdian's lips trembled, Chen Shi already understood its thoughts, "You mean, maybe it was digging through the city's defense circle?" ”
Xingdian nodded silently.
Chen Shi also felt bad, "If this is the case, I'm afraid you have to quickly come up with measures, or find the hole as fast as possible to block it, otherwise ......"
At present, the "alien spirits" are only a quantitative threat, and once the more threatening "alien spirits" are allowed to rush in, the city's defense circle will immediately be shattered.
Moreover, Chen Shi believed that Xingdian was accustomed to facing the "alien spirits" head-on, and he was afraid that they did not have much experience to deal with the situation of being attacked on their backs.
The steam locomotive is still heading towards its destination, and with the support of the cosmopolitan city, the situation has been effectively controlled, which does not mean that the "hyenas" have been killed, but the "hyenas" on the surface of the locomotive have been cleared, and then the threat that has spread in has been controlled.
But this is only a temporary situation, with the firepower of the ironclad ships in the sky and more than a dozen humanoid mechanical power armors, it can only be temporarily blocked, and if you want to eliminate the boundless and still proliferating "hyena" group, the firepower will be increased tenfold, I am afraid it will be difficult to do.
"Click......
The closer you get to the back wall of the cosmopolitan city, the more you can feel its grandeur, and when the steam locomotive drives into the city, it is like an ant standing at the feet of a giant, how inconspicuous and insignificant, showing the humble and worthless.
And just as the steam locomotive arrived, at the end of the railroad tracks ahead, a heavy steel cast heavy pressure door slowly lifted, but it was not just one, but ten steel cast heavy pressure doors, and the steam locomotive passed through layer after layer of compartments before finally stopping and reaching the end.
Xingdian was very anxious, and motioned for Chen Shi to wait on the steam locomotive now, and he got off the car first.
Through the open window, Chen Shi looked out of the car, first of all, the position they were in should have been the interior of the Universal City, but they had not really entered the city, but on the vast platform where the steam locomotive was parked, the wide lifting device, the thick side by side other rails, and a few other steam locomotives.
But none of this really caught his eye, and on the platform, there were already neatly arranged soldiers waiting, not dressed like the Xinghan in armor and wearing bird's beak gas masks, but in black military uniforms, wearing military helmets, a red silk scarf around their arms, and each one solemnly but powerfully armed with a steam rifle.
The seven or eight people led by him, who should be the consuls of the Universal City, saw Xingdian coming out, so they stepped forward one by one to greet and welcome, and after greeting for a while, they left with Xingdian.
"The archon commands, let you follow me, and don't wander around."
Su immediately walked in with a tired face, although those "hyenas" could not threaten the humanoid mechanical power armor in the air, he was also tired enough to kill and block all the way.
"Don't worry, I don't dare to wander around here."
Seeing Chen's very cooperative attitude, Su immediately bowed slightly.
Chen Shi's own dress and 1214-B01 are very different from the people here, if he walks around, he will inevitably become the focus of attention, and he has not yet made up his mind to die.
Waiting for Su to get out of the car with Chen Shi, naturally there were people from Huanyu City who led the soldiers to rest, and Su Ji was a senior officer of Xinghan after all, and the place where he stayed was different from that of ordinary soldiers.
Walking out of the platform, Chen Shi looked around curiously, the soldiers of the surrounding cosmopolitan city were obviously a little curious about the difference between him and 1214-B01's dress, but the strict discipline did not make them ask too much, and even kept their eyes straight and did not move.
"It's ...... Lift? ”
Unlike the sealed elevators in modern cities, the elevators here may be described as elevators, stepping in, but there are no airtight glass or iron doors, but two railings to the waist, which can be regarded as a simple safety measure.
The elevator slowly rose upward, and quickly broke away from the platform yard and entered another square with a large range, Chen Shi looked down, and was surprised to see that in this square, there were huge wooden boxes that could not be counted with the naked eye, neatly with the illusion of "endless", and many staff of the Universal City were counting and carrying wooden boxes.
Su Ji stood beside Chen Shi, seemed to be able to sense Chen Shi's doubts, and said in a low voice: "That is the warehouse where the goods are stacked in the Universal City, and the goods from the other 16 cities are generally unloaded on the platform, and then temporarily placed here for inventory, and then transported to all parts of the city. ”
A city that can accommodate a million people, even if it is placed on the modern earth, it is also a second- or third-tier city, and the daily necessities must be amazing, no wonder there are so many materials piled up.
However, what surprised Chen Shi the most was definitely not a single warehouse, as he passed through several other functional areas, the speed of the elevator increased a lot, and he was shocked when the real light suddenly dawned in front of him.
Originally, at the beginning, he thought that with the level of science and technology in Xingdian, which was the most at the beginning of the 20th century, the city built would definitely not be very smart.
However, on the contrary, when the true face of the Cosmos City unfolded in his sight, he realized that he was wrong, the architectural level of the civilization of Xingdian was quite high.
The location of the elevator is already high in the sky, and Chen Shi sees all the buildings that are hundreds of meters in layers, and the density of the buildings is still above the human New York, Tokyo and other places, but it is different from the "glass" type of the whole structure of the human building, the building here is the overall shape and structure of the metal machinery, with a unique mechanical beauty, both the shock of the appearance, and the delicate and delicate details, not blindly huge and rough.
