Chu Ge originally thought that the city gate was simply pulled by a rope.

Unexpectedly, there are two winches behind the city gate, and the winches are connected to the gears, and behind the gears, there are dozens of "rotating cages" lined up and connected in series.

The so-called "rotary cage" is something sold in pet stores, like an erected wire disc with brackets on both sides, which can allow hamsters to run wildly in it for sports and entertainment.

However, the cage is larger and more solid, and it is not the cute hamsters that run wildly in it, but the sturdy and panting gray squirrels and black rats.

The running power of dozens of gray squirrels and black rats, through the clever operation of winches and gears, becomes the driving force for the opening of the city gate, which is a set of "rat power mechanical devices"!

The POWs were amazed again.

The cat cavalry and its men were commonplace, and with a hint of civilized indifference and pride on their faces, they swaggered through the city gates.

Appearing in front of Chu Ge, it was a rat country capital that was a hundred times larger, more complex and more brilliant than the rat tribe.

It's like the wreckage of a former human shopping mall, with counters, shelves, and small spaces that have been badly torn and squeezed by the earthquake and have been divided into rat skyscrapers, factories, schools, and residential areas.

It took a lot of time for the rats to move a lot of supplies from the other ruins of the underworld, or "garbage" by human standards, to turn it into a super garbage heap full of colorful and beautiful nightmares and futuristic technology.

The rats seem to be particularly fond of collecting shiny glass, glass, and metalwork, and they are piled up with knives, forks, spoons, cheap jewelry, and small round mirrors that have broken into pieces all over the city.

Illuminated by glow-in-the-dark moss and glowing plants, metalwork and glass shards reflect, refract and diffract light, creating waves of light that resemble the entire city.

The cat cavalry proudly said the name of the city.

And with a large section of melodious and magnificent poems as a prefix, describing this name, even Chu Ge could not fully comprehend the subtlety.

Barely translated, it is probably the only light in the dark world underground, the most glorious city in the whole world, if not the "whole universe", the most glorious city, forever intimidating the surrounding barbarians, never falling, the miracle city blessed by the gods with all their divine power before the fall - "luminous city".

Well, Chu Ge admits that it is indeed a miracle that there is a city of such a large scale, such an elaborate structure, and at least thousands of inhabitants as far as the eye can see, underneath Lingshan City.

Moreover, because rats are particularly good at climbing, and can even go up and down vertically, Luminous City is not exactly according to the concept of human beings, "spreading the pie" around.

Instead, it uses countless pipes, ropes and stepping stones to march into the upper and lower spaces, creating a three-dimensional maze-like feeling of rows and layers, one mountain and one mountain high, like a three-dimensional maze, coupled with the nature of rats that like to burrow, the surrounding walls and rock walls are covered with dense caves, slightly emitting a ghostly light, I don't know where to go, greatly expanding the space of the city.

This kind of urban construction is almost like Edo Castle, Shinkanese Yama, and Amami City...... These hive structures of the "nest city", "eight-fold nest city, nine-fold nest city".

As for the inhabitants of Luminous City......

The triumphant procession marched proudly through the city's main thoroughfare, a largely well-preserved dry canal, to greet the citizens on both sides.

As the low-level laborers, gray squirrels and black rats still exist in large numbers, and they are also covered with scaly wounds, and their wounds are dirty and even rotting and suppurating.

They tend to stay at the bottom of the Luminous City, or collect and sort out the human garbage that is being brought in from all directions; or run endlessly in a huge cage to provide a steady stream of power for urban development; Or they are being whipped and reprimanded by the overseers of the rats, and they let out a sharp wail, and they can't even let out a wail.

At the sight of the triumphant army, their dull eyes were stunned for a long time before they turned in awe, and after only a few glances, they bowed their heads and went back to their heavy work.

Located in the middle of the city and class of Luminous City, there are naturally mostly white rats.

The vast majority of the rats were not engaged in production, but specialized in wielding knives and guns and acting as overseers, exercising military skills and supervising the labor of slaves, so that, although they were petite and delicate, they were full of martial virtue and bloodthirsty and aggressive spirit, and when they saw the triumphant army, they all danced with their hands and feet, and let out a sharp and exuberant scream, and the wagging of their tails formed a set of cumbersome and ornate etiquette, as if paying tribute to the army.

The cat cavalry was radiant and danced a war dance on the cat's back, in response to the respect of the citizens.

Chu Ge also noticed a detail.

The middle and upper class citizens are not necessarily white rats, but there are also some gray rats and black rats.

However, these gray rats and black rats are very ridiculously using some human cosmetics, or simply using white oil paint, painting themselves all white, and trying to shrink their hands and feet, imitating the petite and delicate bodies of the white rats.

Even though this clumsy disguise was immediately recognizable, and they themselves knew very well that it would not change anything at all, they enjoyed it.

In the process of saluting the triumphant army, these "albino black rats" and "albino gray rats" are also a group of rats that jump the hardest.

The real white rats, after expressing their respect, returned to their respective posts, and at most stood by with great interest to watch how much loot the army brought back.

These "albino black rats" and "albino gray rats" put on a posture of paying tribute with their lives, as if dancing on a hot oil pan, dancing a feverish war dance, more standard and pious than the cat cavalry, until they foamed at the mouth, panting, and beads of sweat washed away the white oil paint on their bodies, revealing the black or gray inside.

In the ridicule of the real white rats, they found that the camouflage was peeling, and then they panicked, fled to the dark place with their tails between their legs, and "touched up" themselves.

In addition to the middle and lower classes, Chu Ge also noticed that among the relatively high caves and pipes of Luminous City, there were other rats standing.

Looking at the color of the fur, they should be white rats.

But he was white and fat, and his fat meat was drooping, and he was full of folds like a Shar Pei dog, and like round balls of meat.

They are supposed to be the nobles of the Long Fang Kingdom.

For their necks, limbs, and tails were tied with strips of silk that were torn from human clothes.

Rats crawl through narrow and rugged pipes and crevices, and it is naturally unnecessary to tie silk scarves.

Being qualified to do so means that they do not have to engage in heavy labor or dangerous battles, but only that they are pampered and those who work hard will be able to govern people.

Moreover, Chu Ge found that the tails of these giant rats were all automatically glowing like fluorescent tubes, and it seemed that the higher the status, the brighter and more vivid the light on the tails, and dozens of shiny tails were flicking around, competing for beauty, which was much more dazzling than the feather shuttlecock on the head of the priest of the fierce rat tribe.

The cat eater told Chu Ge that these giant rats were all wise men of the Fang Kingdom.

After absorbing a large amount of aura, ordinary rat people will become infinitely powerful, their minions are as hard as iron, they are not afraid of large beasts such as cats and dogs, and they will awaken various physical superpowers.

The wise men, on the other hand, have mutated their brains, turned their wisdom to the limit, and can even read some of the words left over from before the fall of the gods, creating their own words and rules.

In order to make it easier to read, wise men like to mash luminous plants such as luminous moss, squeeze out the juice, and then add some mysterious ingredients to slowly ferment, and finally get a dye that can emit light, and then soak their tails in it, after a long period of dipping, their tails become portable lamps, which can be easily read ancient classics.

The wise men are the most noble class of the Long Fang Kingdom, although they are powerless, they can tell many unfathomable truths, make many decisions that are beneficial to the kingdom, and even excavate countless things left over from the era of the "ancient" gods, including the construction of cities, the manufacture of cages, as well as the training and organization of armies, the methods of combat, including how to light firecrackers, all rely on the knowledge that the wise men learned from the books of the gods.
