Chapter 332: Steam Workshop
"What kind of place is this? Is it a steam workshop for heating and power? Isn't that handled by the 'Heart of Horizons'? Leo asked.
"That's a good question, did you notice, along the way, we haven't seen any 'Vertical Heart' subprocessors in the Gulagri, which seems to be abnormal." Frank Mill said.
"That's why they need to make such a big place to heat the gulag?" Leo asked.
"Maybe not, you look at what it is, it seems to be a full CPU." Song pointed forward with a flashlight and said to the crowd.
The crowd looked by the light of the flashlights, and not far behind the huge steam boilers, there was a strange device several times larger than the steam boilers, connecting the heavens and the earth.
Underneath the machine is a square operating station with a length and width of about 10 meters. In the center of the worktop, a metal column with a diameter of about five meters is connected from the worktop to another piece of equipment with pistons at the top.
"What is this?" Leo asked, puzzled.
"It looks like a complete 'mechanical heart.'" Frank Mill said.
"I think so, it's like a thinking machine that can work independently, not a subprocessor, or a switching processor, it seems that this gulag has its own 'mechanical heart'." Song said.
"Why is this happening? Shouldn't they use the 'Heart of Horizontal'? Leo asked.
"I don't know, maybe this gulag doesn't have a connection to the 'Vertical Heart' at all, they are using a completely independent, another 'mechanical heart'." Frank Mill said.
"But why is that?" Leo asked.
"You ask me, who do I ask, but I think there must be some special reason." Frank Mill said.
"It looks like the machines have stopped working, and maybe the power supply for the Gulag is provided here. Let's see if we can call this steel guy and get it back up and running, and if this guy can work, we don't need to continue to discredit and move forward. Song said as he walked towards the huge device.
Although the device is huge, the spatial layout is not significantly different from that of most small thinking machines.
Song tried to turn on the thinking machine, he pressed several buttons in a row, and then there was a dull metal crash sound inside the device, and it seemed that Song had succeeded in getting his purpose.
Immediately after that, a huge gear next to the equipment began to rotate slowly, and more and more gears began to rotate under the drive of the huge gear.
In the blink of an eye, the friction of gears can be heard everywhere in the entire four underground floors, and at this time, the tall steam boiler has gradually begun to react, and the air valve at the top of the boiler has begun to slowly rise, and there is also a ding-dong sound in the surrounding pipes.
As time passed, white steam began to spill out of the cracks in the steel jungle, the steam boiler also made a roaring sound, and the condenser also ran along with the steam boiler, and the operation speed of the upper gas valve of the boiler continued to increase, gradually driving the many piston valves at the top of the mechanical heart.
The piston valve became more and more intense, and eventually increased its capacity to the point where it was sufficient to start the mechanical heart. The various lights above the mechanical heart were lit one after another, which realized that the mechanical heart was about to start working again to provide the gulag with all kinds of needs.
After the condenser emitted a huge white steam, the mechanical heart finally started working again, and under the drive of the mechanical heart, the entire four underground floors were instantly lit up.
This place is really worthy of a huge steam car, full of steaming equipment, the four underground floors dotted with mist, because the white steam is gathering more and more, although all the lighting cups are lit, but their vision is still seriously obstructed, in many cases, the visual distance is even louder than what they saw in the darkness just now.
They were shuttling through the white mist, trying to find the entrance to the fifth floor, and now that there was light, their actions were no longer so restrained.
Frankimir walked in the front, and in the white steam-filled aisle, Frankimir suddenly felt as if he had been licked by something.
Frankimir immediately became alert and fled backwards in panic, but it seemed that it was too late, something wet instantly wrapped around Frankimir's neck, and because of the white expanse in front of him, he couldn't see anything clearly, which made Frankimir's hairs stand on end, and he sensed that disaster was approaching him.
His scalp was numb, his heart was beating faster, and he couldn't breathe, but he didn't know where to attack.
Frankimir tried to scream so that everyone behind him could hear her, but the wet thing grabbed her by the throat and kept Frankimir from screaming.
In the dense steam, Frankimir smelled a strong fishy stench, and he knew that something must be approaching him, but he didn't want to end his life like this, he had to do something.
Suddenly, Frankimir felt a cold wind blow in his face, and what was wrapped around his neck immediately burst into flames.
The burning was so violent that he let Frankimir loosen his grip and quickly disappeared into the mist, at which point Frankimir felt that someone appeared behind him, and it was close at hand.
Frankimir immediately turned his head, it turned out that Song was standing behind him, but I don't know when, Song actually had a very strange flag in his hand.
"Are you alright?" Song asked.
"What's that?" Franky Mill asked.
"Your eyesight is better than mine, and if you can't see clearly, I can't see clearly." Song said.
Before the words fell, something suddenly came out of the white mist again, jumping straight to Song's front door, Song had to dodge quickly, and disappeared into the white mist in an instant.
Frankimir searched along the white fog ahead, but could never see anything. He took a few big steps forward, and the fog in front of him became thicker.
This is due to the fact that there is a huge turbine that is steaming and spinning at high speed nearby, so the visibility here is so poor that it is almost impossible to see anything except the endless white steam.
Frankimir clearly heard the sound of metal striking in front of him, although he couldn't see anything in front of him, but the violent impact sound allowed Frankimir to roughly identify the direction and distance.
Unable to see clearly ahead, Frankimir did not dare to be careless, and while he launched a burst of strafing fire from the machine gun in his hand, he also fired the sharp blade of the "Heart of Gustav".
Frankimir was convinced that it was a cyborg, but his inability to see made it completely impossible for him to predict the monster's timing ability, so he had to concentrate more in order to deal with an attack that could occur at any time. (To be continued.) )
