Geography and History: Lendinium is the capital of the Manjus region, with a planetary surface area of 1.94 billion square kilometers, covered by a man-made metal shell except for the Doge's Palace, the various government offices of the Empire, and the city of Odaiba.
Lendeneum is a monotonous single-world nest city deep underground, with a population of 100 billion and a population density of 52 people per square kilometer (compared to the real world, the population density of Tokyo is about 6,000 people per square kilometer, and the census of residents here during the Golden Age is 450 billion, which shows the plague-like blow that the Dark Age AI Rebellion brought to humanity).
The inhabitants of Lendinium either worked for the imperial government, maintained and supplied supplies, or were scholars.
Not just a planet, but the heart of the 200,000 civilized world in the Mandis Section. Its greatest function is administration, and its sole purpose is to rule this frontier province with a volume of about 8.5 million cubic light-years, equivalent to a cube about 300 light-years long, on behalf of the emperor.
The Eleventh Tax of the Central Government Council, the largest logistics center in this section with an area twice as large as the Titanium Empire [about 300 cubic light years in the territory of the Titanium Empire], the core of the star moment and star language communication network, the location of the political and commercial center of the node, the 160,000-kilometer-long orbital elevator and orbital factory that surrounds the entire equatorial belt, and the vast spaceport floating in the synchronous orbit ring, is the symbol that it is most proud of compared to other nest capital worlds, and he represents the "return of the twilight" of the golden age of mankind.
The Tower of Babel is surrounded by huge cylindrical artificial objects with a diameter of 12 to 14 kilometers and a length of 40 to 80 kilometers, which needless to say are the largest structures that can be built by man.
The Coroni rotates at a speed of 120 seconds, and uses centrifugal force to create an artificial gravity of about 1G on its inner wall, which is used to create a living environment similar to the earth's surface. Known as Odaiba, these space cities can accommodate up to 50 million people, with a length of about 30-45 and a diameter of about 6-12 kilometers, with a dock of about 30-45 kilometers long and 6-12 kilometers in diameter, which is enough to overhaul all the warships that have appeared in the history of the Imperial Navy.
It was built by the first governor of the Wettin dynasty in British during the Golden Age, and was built to take care of the trade fleet of the world that was the capital of the Star Province in Londonum, as a rest service area and radio and laser navigation, and has now become the foundry temple of the Cult of the Mechanicus, as well as the base camp and shipyard of the Imperial Navy fleet.
Equipped with weapons and void shield generators removed from veterans and damaged cruisers, 12 Ramirez Star Forts, nicknamed virgin jewels by locals, and orbital defenses that the Imperial Navy has perfected since the Imperial Navy took over the STC during the Great Expeditionary Era, it is claimed that even the arrival of battleships can be shattered.
Every year, the local area will usher in the grand occasion of the launch of the ship Karak, and the old Admiratisco Jia ****, who ordered the construction of the Conqueror-class battleship, once made an exception to come here to guide the construction of the battleship, and left an STC with the signature and inscription of "Build a battleship, build a battleship, and the battleship will be made in 10,000 years", which is undoubtedly a thing worth talking about for the residents of Fleet Street, where the orbital shipyard and the lunar world shipyard are located, and the news reporters, and it is extremely rare in the world of the nest.
Some people joke that only Steckis VIII can be compared to the Fleet Street in terms of the efficiency of launching warships, and the living environment of Lendeneum is undoubtedly extremely superior compared to the radiation-filled casting world and the nest world such as Mars, and in the dome, Midtown even reached the standard of the garden world, and the Cult of the Mechanicus originally wanted to change it to an exclusive casting world, but due to the peaceful merger conditions signed between the emperor and the governor of Bretania to enjoy the treatment of a dominion, and the navy took the lead.
The functioning of the world of Lendinium is deformed, with its dome and nest cities covered by irregularly shaped nests that protrude into the sky for miles, and the only creatures remaining on the surface are humans, human pets, and human parasites.
Aside from the Governor's Palace, the government office of the festival, and the Ten Miles Radius of the Imperial University of Londoninium, there was not a single meadow or soil exposed. Outside the confines of the palace, there is no natural water source to be seen, because all the water needed in this world is stored in a huge underground cistern.
The entire planet is covered with an indestructible, non-corrosive, glittering metal shell, and the dome has a weather-regulating effect, so it is almost impossible for the inhabitants of this world to suffer from such an illness as a cold, which serves as the basis for countless huge metal structures. These dense metal buildings, connected by many passages and cloisters, are divided into many departments of various sizes, with large commercial centers on the ground floor and colorful playgrounds on the top floor, which become lively at night.
Walking past one metal building after another, you can travel around the corners of the world covered by the irregularly shaped nest cities that jug into the sky for miles, without leaving the complex without leaving the complex. But in doing so, there is no chance to look down on the city, and the world is filled with all sorts of realistic optical landscape projections and three-dimensional news screens to compensate for the lack of visibility of the inhabitants of the lower levels of the borough stretching from the core to the stratosphere above the dome.
In order to feed the 100 billion people of Londinium, a huge fleet of spaceships takes off and lands every day, more than the naval fleet of any sector of the empire.
The only reward they could make for the inhabitants of Londinium was to help the world, the most complex government and think tank of the region, since the establishment of the festival, to deal with all kinds of intractable diseases from all over the 200,000 civilized worlds, and to train the bureaucrats from all over the festival who had come to the capital for training.
The amount of manpower and material resources required for the project is staggering by Terra's standards, but it is backed by countless resources on tens of millions of planets.
(It is estimated that at M28, the Dominion government reorganizes an average of fifty planets per day into Star Counties.) To attain this noble status, the planet's population must reach more than 5 billion. )
Lendinium has 3 lunar worlds and 20 direct agricultural and mineral worlds as its barns and raw material suppliers, and the entire world of the node [from the highest level of gamma to the lowest level of Fi-Lambda] should be considered its servants.
Location:
The Governor's Palace, where they are located is one of the richest areas in the world.
The dome here is quite tall enough to give you the feeling of being in an open-air space. Anyone would swear they're bathed in the sun, not even me who grew up in the garden world for a while. Although there is no sun or any shadow, the air is clear and fragrant.
As the surrounding landscape receded rapidly, the dome began to bend downward, and the walls became narrower and narrower. They soon entered a hermetically sealed tunnel in which a "double-headed eagle" sign appeared at regular intervals. The tunnel was apparently (Kane thought) for official transport.
The front door opened in time, and the ground car passed through quickly. When the door was closed again, they were in the open space—the real open space.
It is the only 2,500 square kilometres of open surface on the surface, and the magnificent palace sits on it. It is not a nest-style building, but is modeled after the Byzantine and Baroque palaces of the lord's mansion of Terra. For comfort, a lush courtyard has been built around the area.
The unsightly metal dome is obscured by rockeries and topsoil brought in from the garden world, and the entire courtyard is immersed in an artificial atmosphere and climate thanks to intensive irrigation. It has been transformed into a large lawn and beautiful garden. Kane would love to have the opportunity to wander around the land - not because of the Palace, but because of the Imperial University and the Loyal Academy, and the Imperial Library ,------ Ginnet, who attracted him the most.

Connected to the Tower of Babel, a 10-space orbital elevator, the royal district in the equatorial tropics of the world is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious and prosperous areas of Londinium. It is the seat of Imperial government offices such as the Governor's Palace of the Section, the Headquarters of the Imperial Guard, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Inquisition, the Cathedral of the Anglican Church, the Temple of the Machine God, and other scientific and educational units such as the Library of Lendinium and the Imperial University and the Titan Academy.
With a population of about 45 billion people, almost all of them are engaged in the administration of the Section, mainly the dignitaries of the Node System and the world, and their relatives who are engaged in the service industry, and in this natural soil that stretches along the equator, the grass is green and the fallen flowers are colorful, and it is a natural island in the sea of steel, which the people of the Nest City jokingly call the Upper Dome District, or Westminster Palace [a nickname derived from the location of the Imperial Section's Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Governor's Palace].
The foundry temple and nest capital of the Cult of the Mechanicus are concentrated in 10 magnificent space elevators with a total length of 160,000 kilometers, known as the Tower of Babel during the Golden Age, and these ancient orbital buildings mainly play two important roles: one is to do the material transmission between the world and the universe, through the vertical transportation channel erected inside the orbital elevator, between the world and the universe, which is cheap and safe in terms of cost.
The other function is to provide energy through a solar power system, and the orbital elevator transmits the huge amount of electricity generated by a large number of power generation satellites distributed in space to the surface of the world through thick conduction cables.
Judging from its energy output, which is comparable to the energy output provided by the geothermal energy and nuclear fusion facilities in the Lower Nest, the design of these ancient technological products that are rarely seen in the Empire is quite effective, with orbital rings set up at a height of 10,000 kilometers and 36,000 miles for each orbit to reinforce the connection, and the addition of a metal droplet cooling system and various Void Shield generators that have been lost in Imperial Technology, the protection strength is comparable to that of an Apocalypse-class battleship.
The Royal District is also the most famous tourist attraction and transportation hub of Londinium, with an intercontinental high-vacuum maglev MRT train with a speed of up to 20,000 kilometers per hour - Alstom and Asia Express, as well as a variety of TEE and IIC using maglev internal combustion engine power technology, and a steam-powered sightseeing train - Nahverkeh, all of which are the final transportation hub of the world's railway and MRT network with the Royal District's King's Cross railway station.
According to the mechanical priest who came here to study the Golden Age MRT technology, this high-altitude pipeline transportation vehicle was like a "capsule", each capsule was placed in the pipe, and it was fired to the destination like a cannonball, and the passengers felt only the smallest explosive force. And more importantly, it uses less energy.
The gravity lift is an important means of transportation and tourism project for the Tower of Babel and the Royal District to go to the Middle Nest area, and it is a kind of lifting passage without a lifting cabin. As soon as we walk into an open space, we will fall slowly under the action of anti-gravity, or slowly rise.
The Mechanical Priest has always been very interested in the ancient technology of gravity lifts, and the Governor of the World, Starner V, who died in a state of disbelief - insisted on installing them in several places. It is said that he wanted to associate his name with anti-gravity, because he cared deeply about his place in history, which is the common mentality of old people who have not achieved much.
It was also an experimental facility during the Golden Age, and it was limited to the royal district. The energy it uses is not enough to cover the cost, and there is no such device on Mars.
The lift has two different paths, in one of which everyone falls at the same rate and the other people rise at the same rate. The lift passage can only be accessed when it is determined that everyone is at least ten meters apart, and if everything is working properly, there is no chance of a collision.
However, there are still some newcomers to the city, such as Sula, the first female general of the Imperial Guard, who later became famous in the defense army, who felt that she was hanging in the air, and then felt that the elevator had regained its weight when it accelerated up, and then when she slowed down, her feet flew off the ground, she couldn't help but scream loudly, and finally climbed back to the ground with the help of the elevator man.
The capital of the planet is the nest capital Kemilot, which is the largest of all the nests, piercing the sky at a height of 14 miles and penetrating more than 6 miles into the planet's underground, like an iceberg, nine times out of ten it cannot be seen on the seashore or even tens of miles deep into the seabed.
Chaodu City can use the temperature difference between the deep and the surface to supply the "energy" it needs. The spire of each nest has a local name. There are about 4,000 nests in the entire capital world, and each cluster is a collection of a dozen nests. All of these nests are connected by above-ground (including air) access pipes, and the high-rise nests have maglev stations and jet helicopter stations with the same maglev and jet stations as the nest and lower nest areas under the dome, as well as small ships and helium airships for sightseeing.
Wat Domain:
Located at the bottom of Lendinium, the nest is a symbol of the technological development gap between the rich and the poor in the world.
Huge dark gray metal pipes twist like tree branches across the roofs of each house, converging into a network that connects into the distance. This is the pipe from the 'Raging Metal' steam station in the McCain industrial area, which supplies the steam needs of the people of the entire area.
The rows of huge mountain-like chimneys, like rows of black metal harps placed on the earth, can be seen even from dozens of kilometers away, spewing out thick black smoke unscrupulously, blackening half of the sky.
The streets were crowded with people, and the sky was disturbed by the falling soot and the smog from the factories, forcing people to wear heavy clothes and high hats.
The same uniforms, the same head bowed, dense pedestrians huddled together like a swarm of ants with no way out.
Most of the inhabitants are industrial workers who maintain geothermal power plants, the local civilization still retains the style of the steam age, and the residents' biggest dream is to join the local mechanical god research station and the Anglican Church College.
There are old steam locomotives connected to the upper platforms, but to go to the upper level you must have a police clearance certificate issued by an official of the Ministry of Justice of the Interior, and the main training grounds of the Imperial Guard and the Local Defense Forces and an important recruiting base are also located here, so the service industry is quite complete.
Prison: Known as the lowest area at the bottom of the nest, it is the "prison".
The people who live here are all exiled by the Ministry of Justice for committing crimes and monitoring to the bottom of the nest, and the people who live in prisons have no rules, and some are just how to continue their lives today, and they will do anything to survive.
Sunlight could not reach here, and only the palace and the sanctuary could be seen through the cracks in the buildings. It is a fantasy existence, a visual illusion created by optical projection, and there is only despair here, a place where people will not even look up at the sky, and give up their daily lives.
Focusing on mechanized farming and gardening in greenhouses, the local defense forces and the Ministry of Justice have set up offices here to prevent the forces of chaos from influencing these prisoners who were not killed by the nuns on the spot by the new governor of the district.
Seas of silt and toxic sinkholes threaten the lives of the local population, and it is also a place where the Inquisition holds psionics, and as part of the Olivia reforms, the land has recently been developed and governed by feudal aristocrats and manor lords, but the economy and politics of the area are actually controlled by some powerful war gangsters, and with the implementation of the reforms, the area has become one of the important recruiting stations of the local defense forces.
Society: The society of the world of Lendinium is a melting pot of world cultures for the entire region, and in the industrially advanced middle zone, the cities inhabited by people are built on huge gears with a diameter of several kilometers to tens of kilometers. They slowly rotate, and as time passes, the city meshes into each other, so that the equatorial Tower of Babel produces a huge amount of energy, which is circulated to all corners of the city.
One of the more than millions of urban gears, there are countless small holes open in one of the teeth of these gigantic gears, each about 10 meters in diameter, and they are arranged in an orderly manner like a beehive.
This is the "Cylinder Train", where the gears on the other side of the meshing still have the same caves, and serve as a "renewal" to connect the inter-city means of transportation.
The urban gears are meshed, and a large number of cylinders carrying passengers and goods are launched using the "connecting station" and exchanged together. Next, we stop at the transfer station and divide the various transportation agencies to the city.
Inside the city, maglev trains, buses, unmanned taxis, and so on are galloping. However, since the two sides never stop turning between cities, there is no road that can be connected constantly.
Ruling here were the famous industrial aristocracy, the industrial radicals led by the Duke of Byron, and the various regional autonomous communes they established, which were ruled by representatives of the people indirectly under the supervision of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice.
Residents of the entire city were to be registered at birth with a census form by members of the local commune in order to elect their civil leaders from among the indirect ****, and the cities of the nest had their own local self-government laws and government agencies, which could also exercise foreign affairs powers in accordance with the regulations of the imperial government.
In contrast to the traditional gang rule, Olivia's success in replacing the clan warrior gangs that he saw as doing more harm than good in the Hive Capital World was an incredible feat in the eyes of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior in the Hive Capital with village communes ruled by nobles and communes of working-class capitalists.
He pioneered a new model of governance in the world of the nest, improving the efficiency of the government's tax collection and conscription, and the gangs were no longer the decisive ruling force in the world of Lendinium, except for the traditional and backward clans that played a violent role in the maintenance of the nest, which was nicknamed the prison.
The mid-class district and Odaiba were industrial aristocrats with a never-ending desire for technological revolution, while the upper town, which was beautiful and comfortable like a garden world, was dominated by scholars of the humanities, bureaucrats, mechanical gods, state clergy, and traditional feudal manor owners and aristocrats.
The former basically controls the House of Commons, which is composed of a number of electoral districts with essentially the same number of voters (the demarcation of constituencies is decided by an independent committee), and a member of the House of Commons who is elected to represent the interests of the ruling class of the administrative district, which exercises the legislative functions of the world.
Most constituencies are members of a political party, but people with no party background can also participate in elections, and political parties do not have a very important place in the formal law.
Almost always there is a party with an absolute majority in the House of Commons, and the leader of that party is appointed Governor of the World by the Lords of the Galaxy. The leader of the second largest party in the House of Commons becomes the leader of the opposition, the House of Lords is the highest judicial body, and the Speaker is the Minister of Justice of the World.
Compared to the House of Commons, the House of Lords has relatively limited powers, retains the judicial power left over from history, has the power to review bills passed by the House of Commons, and pass necessary amendments, and can also request the postponement of legislation that it does not approve of, up to a year.
Members of the House of Lords are not elected, and are partly hereditary nobles. Under the Industrial Radical Party, the world showed an unparalleled respect for scientists and industrialists who were still extremely avant-garde at the time. These men of insight were promoted to the aristocracy at the speed of a rocket, which created a rift with the traditional social class structure.
At the same time, a new social ethos has also reflected in the field of education: the status of traditional disciplines has plummeted due to the exclusion of new majors such as engineering and accounting. The Imperial Party, which controlled the upper echelons on behalf of the old-fashioned forces, joined forces with the trade alliance of the Rogue Merchants to counterbalance the power of the industrial aristocracy through judicial power.
The endless conflict between the warrior gangs in the other Hive World clans was rarely seen in the upper and lower classes of Londinum, which had given way to financial and political struggles between politicians and nobles and representatives of the Commune Consortium, and this peaceful way of fighting was replaced, and the Basic Law was re-established under the guarantee of the Local Defence Forces and the Commune National Guard.
However, with the deepening of Olivia's reforms, the power of the trade alliance has also made them suffer a great impact, and the frequency of the appearance of sheriffs has gradually caught up with the number of inquisitors and local defense forces, and the nest city is slowly transforming into a society governed by the rule of law.
