Talia's meaning is obvious, since she can't find it below, she can only start from above. This is indeed a blind spot that we have always had, and no one could have expected anything strange to be on the cab of a steam locomotive.

"How did you come up with the idea that there might be something up there?" I asked.

"Huh? The reason is very simple, when I came, I saw an iron ladder going up outside the locomotive. Talia said as a matter of course.

"Then why didn't you tell us earlier!" Chen Zaihai complained.

Talia stretched out her hands and said to the two of us, "That's not the two of you, as soon as you come in, you're checking this and observing that." There is also a lot of professional terms in my mouth, I thought you had noticed it! ”

Simply put, Talia laughed at us then, and that's why. Two two knives, studying seriously, but in the end ignoring the most obvious things. It's not your average humiliation, it's like an idiot keeps asking people where the pen is that they have in their pocket

"So it was so funny when I saw you two worrying so seriously just now!" Talia said with a smile.

Chen Zaihai and I didn't say a word, and our faces were ugly. Being ridiculed by a woman like this, it would be better to just throw us off the train!

Just when Chen Zaihai and I were depressed, the front of the car suddenly shook significantly. What's going on out there?

"Chief! This train seems to have come out of a tunnel! A small soldier standing outside ran to report with a panicked face.

If you think about it, we've been on this train for two hours, and we've been going hundreds of kilometers at this speed. At this time, we were lucky to get out of the tunnel, if the railway had been shorter, we would have been wrecked and killed.

We immediately ran out of the cab, and it wasn't the volcanic rock tunnels we were used to. It was supposed to be a very large space, and it felt a bit like the cave where the power plant was located that we had been to before. As soon as I thought of this, I turned on the miner's lamp in a cold sweat and shone around

Luckily, I didn't see those damn volcanic rock pillars, and it doesn't seem like that kind of scary place. It was very dark all around, and the blackness was very uniform, and the lamppost of the miner's lamp shone there and disappeared in a straight line into the void. The area seemed to be empty, with nothing to block the miner's light.

When I saw this, my heart was a little hairy, something was wrong with this place.

"Lao Su, look ahead" Chen Zaihai pulled my shoulder and asked me to turn my head.

"What's the matter?" I stopped before I could finish the words.

In terms of size and power, the gas lamp at the front of the train is very different from our miner's lamp. Although it is not as illuminated as the high-altitude searchlight in the air base, its light can still travel to a distance of about a kilometer, including the extended range of light scattering and weakening.

I've always believed that fear and panic are two completely different concepts. If someone were to ask me what emotion I had feared the most in a long time, I would not hesitate to choose fear over fear. Panic is something that can be overcome with a certain amount of mental training.

Unlike fear, we often feel frightened because we are suddenly startled by something. However, what scares us is often irrelevant, mainly because it appears out of nowhere to have this effect. Panic is produced by using a certain method to make people's nerves suddenly produce large-scale changes. A person who is mentally strong and does not panic in case of trouble, such as Ivan, it is difficult for you to make him feel frightened. He is a veteran defender, he has been on a lot of battlefields, he has seen a lot of things that he shouldn't see, and calmness has almost been written into his genes. If you want to scare this kind of person, you will definitely pay a very big price.

Fear, on the other hand, cannot be overcome. No matter how strong your heart is and how many storms and waves you have seen, facing fear will not make much difference. It's often not your heart that's tested, it's your imagination, and the more imaginative people are, the less able they are to cope with the emotion of fear. Artists, especially painters, have always thought that this is the reason why they are prone to go crazy easily. It is often not the physical thing that people fear, but the imagination that is the source of fear. To give an easy-to-understand example, people's fear of the dark is often innate. In fact, there is nothing to fear about the darkness itself, what people are afraid of is what may exist in it. Because of the darkness, we can't see what's going on inside it, which further stimulates our imagination. We will unconsciously feel that there is something in that space that we cannot explore. It's all for the sake of imagination, and the darkness is only due to the lack of light.

So if you ask me what I see in front of the car, I don't really know what to say

Because I didn't actually see anything, the train's gas lamp was like a miner's lamp in my hand, and the pillar of light shone straight forward, extended, scattered, and finally disappeared into the darkness

At first I didn't realize what it meant, but after a few seconds I began to tremble involuntarily and I felt a palpable sense of fear. I think that if Chen Zaihai hadn't been sharp-eyed and pulled me, I would have been unable to control my feelings and fall directly off the train.

As I explained earlier, the irradiation range of this gas lamp is nearly 1,000 meters, to say the least. But what do I see in front of me? The light of the gas lamp disappeared as if swallowed up by the darkness in front of it, and it didn't shine a single light at all. I think it's a lot of space, but there's still a clear concept of this size, and now I've lost that concept.

This can't be described as big anymore, it's like shining into the starry sky! Lin then speculated that this place may be the result of the eventual end of life of a series of huge volcanic lava-type cave systems, which have been continuously eroded and collapsed, and finally formed such a huge underground cavern.

"Old Su, I think let's stop this thing quickly." Chen Zaihai suggested. "It's not a good idea to be on it all the time, and I feel bad."

"That's right, it looks like we're in a terrible place this time," Talia muttered to herself.

I agree with what they say, the train is too fast now, and I don't know when there will be a turn ahead. It's so empty here, and once we derail, we're likely to be thrown out hundreds of meters with the whole train, and we're really dead.

As soon as we said we would do it, we immediately asked the engineers to find a way to cut off the carriage behind us. Since you have to park, the smaller the overall quality, the better. The engineers received the order and immediately climbed the coal truck behind the mountain, and disappeared on the other side in a few seconds.

Looking at them, I secretly prayed for the chairman's blessing. followed Chen Zaihai and the two of them to climb the iron ladder. As Talia had said, the iron ladder was literally behind the iron wall, and it stretched straight upwards, and then through a circular opening, and it was clear that there was still a considerable layer of space on it.

I suddenly remembered the appearance of the front of the car, and I had seen its phantom many times, and I was still very impressed. It was true that the front of this train was taller, taller than any train I had ever seen, but the length of the front was a break from that of any other train. I wonder if this design is convenient for moving around in such a small space

We didn't have time to think about it so much now, so we climbed up one after another without hesitation.

As soon as I got up, I heard the sound of "rattle" gears and chains clinking. There was a space up there, but not as big as I thought.

The height was just right for Talia to stand up, so I was very reluctant, and Chen Zaihai, who came up first, had already knelt down in front of him. Through the light scattered by the miner's lamp in Chen Zaihai's hand, I discovered the coal pusher that had been bothering us, and it turned out that he was really on it. On the right-hand side, an old-fashioned track was carrying the coal from the hopper, from which the sound I had just heard came from.

"Old Su! The brake valve is here! Chen Zaihai shouted in front.

I wanted to take a closer look at the coal pusher, but when I heard this, I had to walk forward quickly. Thankfully, it's short and wide. I calmly bypassed Talia, who could only stare dryly in front of me, and approached Chen Zaihai. At this point, he was staring at something like a valve.

"There's a good news or a bad news, which do you want to hear first?" After seeing me coming, he looked at me with a very complicated expression.

I knew at once that the situation must not be as optimistic as I had imagined, and after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to hear the good news first. The coal on the tracks was constantly being fed into the hearth, and I could clearly hear the sound of the coal falling into the flames, and the small popping sound seemed to make the atmosphere even more tense.

Talia looked at the two of us silently, eager to know what was going on, but she also sensed that it was best not to chime in at this time. Helpless, Talia just looked at the two of us wordlessly.

"The good news is that the air brake is still very well preserved." Having said that, Chen Zaihai's tone did not have the slightest element of happiness. "Maybe the people who use this train have taken care of it."

"Wouldn't that be great? Start it cleanly and stop the train. Talia urged.

"No! Absolutely not! Chen Zaihai said seriously.

"Because of what?" Suddenly thinking of the falling iron plate, I think I probably know what the bad news about Chen Zaihai is

"Is it because of that" I noticed that my voice was shaking a little.

"That's right, the bad news is that the valve is broken. We can't cut off the power source of this train," Chen Zaihai finally said the worst.
