Chapter 50: The Train Woo Woo
Black Rock City was the first human city that Dong Chen was going to encounter when he came out of the Horror Forest, so when the Great Elder was reading the book, the Great Elder told him something about the city.
Now that Dong Chen has seen the city, those messages have emerged one by one.
In terms of the pronunciation of the Terran language, the city should actually be called "giving", and the translation of "giving" is actually "black stone that can be burned".
In Dong Chen's understanding, it is coal.
So this city should be called "Coal City" or "Black Coal City" or something, but Dong Chen directly called this city "Black Stone City".
Because he personally feels, cough, it's better to call it like that.
Approaching Black Rock City, you can see a north-south mountain to the west, and there are rich coal resources in the mountain, and even most of them are open-pit mines.
And what they want to enter is the west gate of Blackstone City, which is heading towards the Blackstone Mountains to the west, which is convenient for the transportation of coal.
In fact, while they were waiting in line to enter the city gate, there were often animal carts carrying coal passing by on the other side.
Every time he passes a coal car, Dong Chen asks Tianshu to scan it, and the results of the scan are high-quality coal with a carbon content of more than 90%.
This kind of scanning result is completely worthy of the name of Black Rock City's "Coal City", but this is not the same as some of the things recorded in the book that Dong Chen saw.
As a modern man in the earth world, he is very clear about the formation mechanism of coal, and its formation time can be calculated in units of millions or tens of millions of years, and even the conditions for the formation of coal on the earth can be traced back to the Carboniferous period more than 300 million years ago.
The Carboniferous period is a representative period of great prosperity in the plant world, and it is precisely because the strata formed during this period are rich in coal that it is named "Carboniferous".
According to statistics, the coal reserves belonging to that period accounted for more than 50% of the total coal reserves on the planet.
If there is so much high-quality coal on the other side of the planet, then the previous book recorded that "there was nothing three thousand years ago, it was the instructions of the "god of science and technology", so that the "scientists" and "gods" created all this", it is definitely putting gold on their faces.
Of course, it is also possible that the various races of "human beings" in this world give their "gods" a gold sticker, after all, they are expelled from the world, and if they don't say something good to the gods, isn't that looking for a draw!
After all, it is a myth and legend, and it is normal to exaggerate a little, even if there is really a "god", after the legend has been spread by the mouths of ten people, the content has long been distorted, and it will definitely be added with some personal understanding and subjective thoughts.
With this doubt, Dong Chen followed the convoy into the city.
The tall and wide gates allow several cars to move side by side, and they are well planned to enter the city on one side and exit the city on the other.
Moreover, there was strict discipline in entering and exiting the city, just like the previous part of entering the city, which was directly divided into four parts, separated by wooden barriers.
It's the same with the out-of-town section.
The entrance of the coal cart into the city was close to a quarter of the gate wall, and the caravan vehicles were next to the coal lane, and the walkers and passengers were next to the caravan lane, and the innermost one was for the people of the Techno-Cult.
Even if it's idle now, you can't let others use it.
Dong Chen heard from the person next to him that this model was invented by an engineer of the God of Science and Technology Sect, which greatly improved the efficiency of entering and leaving the city.
"This techno-god cult really cares about everything."
After entering the city, the buildings in the field of vision are dense, there are dense buildings on both sides of the road, various alleys are distributed among them, and there will be a relatively wide alley after passing a small alley, allowing ordinary vehicles to pass through.
Their architectural characteristics are combined with the natural situation here, wood and stone are the main materials of the building, the lowest buildings on both sides of the avenue are two floors, and the highest Dong Chen saw that there are five floors.
I don't know if the sloping roof covered with tiles is because of the lot of rain in this place, or if they have such a hobby.
There were a lot of green plants on both sides of the road, and Dong Chen also saw some glowing plants, and the road surface was paved with neat thick stone slabs, the gaps were very small, and the pure wooden wheels did not feel an obvious bumpy feeling when pressed up.
The city as a whole has some urban planning feel to it and looks neat.
There were many cars and people on the road, and Dong Chen finally saw the diversity of the race on the other side.
The Terrans were still the most numerous, but he still saw the elves, who were as slender as the legend had been, and had the iconic pointed ears, but they weren't particularly long-looking, just slightly longer and more pointed than the average Terran.
And the male and female genders can be clearly distinguished, and there will be no confusion between A, but the male of the elf is indeed ...... Uh, a little bit more delicate.
In addition to the elves, Dong Chen also saw the dwarves, they and the elves are just the opposite, if the human race is a standard body, then the elves are slightly thin and tall, and the dwarves are slightly shorter and strong, the difference is not too much.
It's just that they're a little bit strong and look a little wide, so they feel a lot shorter.
And not all men have big beards, at least Dong Chen looks at the faces of younger dwarves is still very clean, but older dwarves do have more hobbies for beards.
Moreover, there is no steam equipment in these buildings, Dong Chen doesn't know, but there are indeed no steam vehicles on the road, and the protagonist on the road is still a beast car, but it is no longer a large two-horned dragon as the protagonist, but there are many smaller bipedal dinosaurs or four-legged mammals pulling the cart.
It is no longer a heavy cargo vehicle, but only a person or a light cargo.
However, most of the people are still walking, and they run when there is an emergency.
"Didn't you say there was a train? How do you look completely "otherworldly"? ”
Looking at everything around him back and forth, Dong Chen became more and more confused the more he looked.
What about the train?
Although Da Zhuang and Lombak next to him didn't know what the other world was, they still knew a little about the train he said, because the uncles who had been out in recent years came back and said, "The huge black long car can breathe white smoke, like a monster!" ”
"Yes, I also want to see the train, and the seniors said that there is a "woo woo" sound. ”
"Woo-woo-"
Really said what to say, as soon as Da Zhuang's voice fell, two more authentic voices rang out.
When everyone heard the sound, they saw that after the beast car turned a corner, a train appeared on their right, which was a train about to enter the station, and it was using a whistle to warn the passengers in the station.
The huge black locomotive dragged a long body, and behind the front was a coal wagon, followed by a series of wooden wagons.
It had slowed down to a very low speed as it slowly approached the pit stop, and white steam erupted from some specialized decompression pipes, shrouding it in a mysterious white mist.
Such a sight Dong Chen thought that he had returned to the steam age of the earth, and it was not until he saw the pointed ears among the passengers that he came back to his senses.
This is the other side of the star, and the train in front of you is also the steam train of the other side of the star, and the civilization has entered the representative of the steam age.
