Chapter 9 "Black Technology" That Can't Be Replicated

The part of the ancient city that was destroyed by the forcible attack of the Holy Trinity, and the buildings that have decayed because of their age-

At this moment, they have all been repaired, even torn down and rebuilt.

And on the basis of such a one, there has also been a super "magic change" with a huge range of changes.

Originally, it was mainly like an ancient city during the Byzantine Empire, but now it is full of steampunk-style art...... This is true both externally and internally.

From the perspective of historical development, the architectural style of Byzantium was developed on the basis of inheriting the architectural culture of ancient Rome, and at the same time, due to geographical relations, it absorbed the eastern cultures of Persia, the two river valleys, Syria and other countries to form its own style.

The building is characterized by a small difference in the horizontal and vertical lengths of the cross, and a large dome at its intersection. The dome is on a square plan, creating a covering dome and placing weight on four separate pillars.

It is characterized by the prominence of the overall shape center, and in ordinary Byzantine architecture, the center of the architectural composition is often very prominent, and the dome, which is both tall and large, often becomes the center of the composition of the whole building.

In particular, this legendary lost city, with its magnificent halls, towers, temples and other buildings, are very complete and reflect the glorious achievements of the artistic style of that period.

It's just that now, this ancient city called Kit City has basically no pure Byzantine style anymore......

Of course, it's not that it's been destroyed or anything, but on the basis of the original, it incorporates a certain peculiar style of painting, which blooms into a more charming appeal.

While giving people a feeling that the technology tree is crooked, it also gives it a strong color as if mysticism -

Of course, for some "experts" and "scholars" who stand and talk without backache, this is a kind of sabotage.

Not only do we need to criticize them, but we also need to nailed those who do such things to the pillar of shame in history forever and become sinners of the country and the nation......

Huh? Not from their own country? That's okay, just let them be sinners for all mankind.

Even if China needs to develop, it will be at the cost of destroying the environment in the early stage, and all the ruins of ancient cities must give way-

"When you look out of Tiananmen Square, there should be chimneys everywhere......

But later this decision could not avoid the fate of being accused of destroying the environment and destroying the historical features of cultural relics.

Therefore, some guys really stand and talk without backache, or they don't have a brain at all, they don't think about the actual situation at all, and they only know how to blame this and that as a matter of course......

But Jacob and the remnants of the area didn't know that they might be blamed, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.

Those stupid X.s can say it if they want to, and they won't lose a piece of meat just because they are told. Besides, it's like you're about to build a house in your own house, and you have to change your mind just because of a fool who is full of nonsense?

Not to mention that this is still a big project involving the entire city, and everyone builds a house together, so it is naturally more impossible for others to stop after saying a few words.

And so—

The main roads of the city have been laid with solid tracks, stations and motorized rail cars.

The air rail over the city is also being erected, and it seems that it is not far from the realization of the air train, and the entire rail system is basically about to complete the docking.

Street lamps are embedded at intervals along the street, and dark pipes are embedded in the cracks between the stone bricks on the ground, like spider webs, connecting to the nearby "electrical box".

Nearby, there is also an automatic barrel dispenser for whale oil barrels, but the main gas station oil depot is built in the form of a basement deeper underground - to prevent the whale oil reserves from being detonated too easily.

In addition, there are walls of light blocking the intersections, and watchtowers, which are also automated, have been erected, and together with the surrounding streetlights, they use spotlights to monitor large areas......

That's right, almost visible to the naked eye -

Such a steampunk city with unlimited potential and seemingly aggressive is shedding its old stale and is being reborn.

……

……

As the embodiment of the legendary immortal prophet, Jacob's guidance is enough for his followers to burst out with 120 percent enthusiasm and motivation.

And after he added that it was the will of the "gods", this enthusiasm was driven to the point of 200 percent.

Except for some people who were really injured and couldn't even leave the geothermal valley because of the previous war, even the old and weak women and children were doing their best to do what they could to help the young and middle-aged people to provide the greatest convenience possible.

And those young people, who are the main force, are more like chicken blood, and they simply want to sleep and reproduce the "Chinese speed" of infrastructure madness under the ice deep in the Siberian wilderness.

If it weren't for Jacob's constant overseeing in Kit City, and the help of Laura and others, I'm afraid that a bunch of sudden mass deaths would have erupted every two days.

It's just that even if they burst out with such an unparalleled motivation and enthusiasm, there is not much they can do, or it should be said that they can't contribute much, and the progress of wanting to transform the entire ancient city with their strength alone must be very slow.

To a large extent, it relies on the corpses of a large number of undead Holy Trinity soldiers as cheap labor, they do not eat, sleep, and never get tired, almost like a perpetual motion machine.

Until the mysterious power that transforms them is exhausted, or until they are wiped out again by external forces, they are true model workers!

It was also thanks to the Holy Trinity that he had formed an army, and left enough corpses behind, and after all of them were awakened by someone, they provided a fairly sufficient amount of excellent labor for the first phase of the construction of the Lost City.

Coupled with the fact that the third-generation clockwork machine that Kindoch had improved - the first to start was the second generation, which was actually replaced with a bird's head, which made it look even more terrifying, but in fact did not change much - it was not for combat use, but for the kind that could be put into production.

They are gathered in large quantities, conscientiously consuming a large amount of whale oil, constantly fighting for fate, and also shining for the first phase of the construction of Kit City.

There is also a disadvantage that the clockwork machine needs to be stopped to cool down for a period of time after it has been running for too long, or after entering high-intensity combat mode......

Otherwise, you'll see the near-melted system in the center of their chest glow before it could explode.

Now this shortcoming is gone, in this ghost place where water is dripping into ice, the two prompts of "the temperature of the mailbox is rising" and "the core temperature is too high" have never had a chance to appear.

After all the non-combat third-generation clockwork machines were put into production, they never had a chance to stop and rest for even a minute, but they were running day and night, contributing to Kit City with the efficiency of one machine worth at least a hundred people.

Even if there is a malfunction problem-

For those who are more serious and have no power to return to heaven.

Mo Chen would directly throw them back and let the branch of the clockwork company that had been built in the King City of Danwall be responsible for repairing them, and by the way, he would take the corresponding number of intact machines from the warehouse to make up for them.

There will be no delay in the time and efficiency of the project.

And if it is a little more common, then let people directly look at the translated instruction manual and repair it themselves, anyway, it is not too difficult......

For example, the crew of the Endurance, who had been exposed to the clockwork machine for a long time, had basically mastered the maintenance skills.

Alex, Greene Elder, and Jonah in particular can all be said to be good at it, and they have even reached the point where they can make or even improve it themselves.

After all, not to mention that it is just a clockwork machine, even the technology, including other arc towers and watchtowers, is only "black technology" in a certain sense, not "high-tech" in the strict sense......

To be reasonable, they are more because of the characteristics of the materials and the like, so that they can derive that kind of strange technology at a level of civilization equivalent to the Middle Ages.

For example, the Clockwork Warrior has a head encased in a structure of wooden armor, a body frame consisting of multiple movable metal parts, and a miniature whale oil barrel acting on the entire frame and hiding under the protection of amber planks......

Robots that are even using planks can really be advanced in their own right?

Besides, there are no computers in the world, no programming and other knowledge, and there is no sophisticated engineering technology......

But it's just a simple circuit board, mixed with other weird things, and the final core system is built that gives the clockwork machine a considerable degree of intelligence and processing power.

The camera captures images, and the carbon-key microphone captures sound. None of this is a problem......

But the problem is that it is a machine itself, and it can understand what it sees and hears...... Is this really the level of technology that could be achieved in the Middle Ages?

So, reverse engineering the clockwork technology is actually very simple, even if the remnants can use the factories left by the Soviets and those stupid and coarse facilities...... After all, strictly speaking, even with the technological level of the Soviets at that time, it was at least two eras higher than the world of shame.

It's just that the most important special materials are missing, so it is impossible to replicate and truly master this technology.

Although Mo Chen also carried a large number of materials for the manufacture of the core system of the clockwork, it was never a product of the current world, and he had no way to change such a fact.

……

……

A motorized rail car traveled smoothly and smoothly along the railroad tracks laid on the street, and finally slowly stopped at a stop with the roar of the engine.

On one side of the car, a heavily armored door was opened, revealing a soft seat facing each other, but only a beautiful young girl sat inside.

Miss Crawford got out of the carriage, then reached out and rubbed the center of her brow, sighed a little irritably, and looked back in the direction she had just come, which was the very center of the city.

"Laura!"

A call came from behind her, and she subconsciously turned her head to see Jacob climbing down from the top of a watchtower.

"Jacob, what are you doing?" The girl raised an eyebrow.

"Check how this thing works......"

Jacob descended to the ground, then reached out and patted the metal outer layer of the tower next to him.

"They're fired incendiary bombs, and now with the addition of a heavy machine gun, it always seems a bit of a problem to adjust the docking of the control board......"

Watchtowers are fixed-point construction units that rotate back and forth, overseeing an entire area with a large spotlight. And it's automated, which means it can automatically detect and attack uncertified units.

As soon as an enemy enters its searchlight area, the watchtower's lights turn red to alert nearby allies and automatically attack the target.

- As soon as an enemy is detected, the watchtower's attack range will be extended to a great distance.
