Chapter 896: Earthquake

(Buying a house, decorating, endless tossing and running errands, I really don't know how many days the road can continue......)

On a ruined planet with nothing but ruins and wreckage, it was surprising that such an advanced megacity could emerge, even if it was also built on the basis of various old ancient machines, it was enough to be called grandiose.

Ayutthaya sits on a crater more than 200 kilometers in diameter, which cuts off the wreckage of all nearby warships, and stands out in this land of craggy metal ruins, especially when flying over it, this sense of dissonance is even more pronounced - it is hard to imagine that such a neat thing can be seen in this tattered and filthy world......

Because of the almost eighty-degree inclination and the smooth pit wall, the communication between the city and the outside world was equivalent to adding a barrier, and while the ship was waiting to land, we curiously studied for a long time how the people of the city usually went out. One of the ways seems to be to take a flying machine, as the only prosperous and advanced place in this world, Dacheng has a large number of various types of aircraft that are widely used, and you can see the same prosperous air transportation network as Shadow City in the sky above the city, all kinds of individual fighters with dismantled weapons and light Xiling transport ships are shuttling quickly in the air, and the navigation lights and guidance beams form a rapidly changing grid under the gradually dimming sky. Although the grid is very disorganized compared to the high-altitude transportation network of Shadow City, and the dusty little ships are like digging out of the garbage heap, this kind of scene is enough to throw into a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster.

In addition to the aircraft, another mode of transportation between Ayutthaya and the outside world should be the numerous ropeways on the walls of the "sinkhole", which are a lot of black-looking guide rails, some of which are randomly distributed vertically on the pit walls, and the lower end is the cargo distribution station at the bottom of the pit, which is connected by a suspension conveyor, and the upper end of the ropeway protrudes out of the sinkhole and extends to the nearby huge factories or satellite towns, and several of them are arranged in parallel to the distance and point in the direction we started. A lot of dirty black containers are speeding on these ropeways, and there is a blue light shining from the places where they connect to the ropeway, and it is clear that the transportation system is not driven by wheels.

As we looked curiously at the city below, the monk named Yoder was also looking at us curiously, and he sat on the chairs opposite us with a few other black-robed men, all of whom were holding their hands and bowing their heads in contemplation, except for him, who seemed to be an exception.

From all aspects, it can be seen that the white-haired handsome man named Yode in front of him should be the kind of person with a higher status in the church.

Although the other party was looking at us, there was no offense in his eyes, just curiosity, so Sandora and I didn't pay much attention, but a little guy was impatient with the old man, and stretched out his short little arm to the opposite side to demonstrate: "What are you looking at! What do you see! What you see! ”

Yode's face stiffened, and he froze for a few seconds, then pointed to the grinning doll: "What the hell is this?" ”

This is worth it, the mercury lamp feathers stood up on the spot, and I took out a steel braces and stuffed it into my mouth and was about to rush up to bite someone, I quickly grabbed her belt and pulled it back: "Calm down, calm down!" Cold...... Eh, why are you biting me! ”

Lin Xue covered her forehead and turned her head unbearably to see, and by the way, she left a message for Yode, who was at a loss: "It's none of your business, these two have this problem, and they have to make trouble everywhere." ”

Yod: "......"

I think this uncle must be guessing who the mercury lamp mother is, because from a sociological point of view, there must be a mother and a mother, and a girl who looks mature and tall but is only 92.3 cm tall and has wings should obviously have an extraordinary mother, but the answer to this question is too difficult, so I decided to continue fighting with my daughter until the ship lands on a high ground near the center of the city.

The place where we landed was in the middle of the entire circular city, a high ground, and it must be pointed out that this high ground was definitely built by hand, not by some wreckage. In fact, not only the metal casting plateau under our feet, but also the entire city is full of traces of artificial construction, which is different from other places.

On the Ruined Planet, most towns are built on the wreckage of the ship below them, such as Condenser Town, which is built on the lid of a giant condenser, Heavy Gate Town, which is built on the upper deck of a transport ship, and the satellite town used to house the victims of the disaster is based on the barge take-off and landing platform of a giant aircraft carrier, these phenomena are determined by the special properties of the Ruined Planet, the wreckage of those warships is almost indestructible, and people can remove some broken metal pieces from it, But it's hard to dig a hole in their main armor plates, and if humans want to survive on a ruined planet, building a home on these wrecks is the only option, but for big cities, this restriction doesn't hold true - there are no ruins under big cities, it is built on the bottom of a giant crater, and to build a city under this shape of terrain, you have to build a foundation by hand.

It can be seen from this that it takes a lot of effort to build such a giant city, and it is also for this reason that there is only one big city in the entire world.

"Big cities are different, it's much better than those shantytowns."

Iceis was the last to disembark from the ship, and she stood behind the guardrail on the edge of the metal plateau, looking down at the array of buildings below.

From the highest point of the city, you can see 80% of the round city. It can be seen that the city has put a lot of effort into the architectural planning, and those chaotic, only to live in the small town is completely different, there are hundreds of meters high steel buildings, there are rumbling huge factories, there are also neat residential areas, spacious and neat traffic arteries are intertwined between these orderly arrangement of buildings, all kinds of vehicles and pedestrian flow and the three-dimensional transportation network in the sky together form the blood of the city, although a closer look can still see the obsolescence and repair traces of those steel figures, But that doesn't stop the city from giving us a sense of steel city, and it's the antiquated colors and the less polished lighting that gives everything in view a scrap metal gothic aesthetic.

And over the entire city, you can see a layer of pale blue barrier.

It is a layer of low-power ghost shield, covering four-fifths of the area of the "sinkhole", so that the city is completely protected inside, the defense ability of this layer of shield is not yet known, but the battleship shield generator dug out of the ruins can be modified into this kind of city shield, which shows that the city's mastery of the ancient empire's skills has reached a very high level, and it is precisely because of the existence of this shield that the city has a completely independent atmospheric system from the outside, which is different from the dirty and even poisonous air in other places on the ruined planet, The air here is very fresh - Yakumo Blue took a deep breath, then her tail trembled happily, and then her two furry ears lay down in satisfaction, looking at the real cola: this big fox has been depressed for the past two days, and her nose is too smart......

The platform on which Yord and the monks landed directly appeared to be a church-specific tarmac, and there were no other buildings in this high ground except a solitary cathedral, a church, a tall building made of a large amount of silver-gray metal, with a hexagonal obelisk in the center and a ring of streamlined towers around it, a strange way of construction that did not correspond to the construction style of any of the worlds. The only thing that can be thought of is that it seems to be relatively close to the appearance of many imperial warships, perhaps this is what this ruined religious building looks like.

"It's made of battleship alloy," Sandora whispered as she followed the monks into the minaret church, reaching out and touching the alloy wall next to it, "and there's no sign of re-smelting." ”

My footsteps paused slightly, and after a moment of silence, I asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?" ”

Sandora staggered, and then twisted my waist hard: "Do these three words need to be in such a serious tone!" ”

I hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ahem, the atmosphere needs, the atmosphere needs." ”

Sandora snorted, and looked around at the interior of this minaret building that revealed all kinds of disobedience, unlike any religious building that had ever been seen, in this huge minaret, we didn't see any statues of gods, no religious murals everywhere, not even a relief, the structure inside looked like the inside of a spaceship, the ground and walls were smooth and neat silver-gray armor plates, and occasionally we could see the broken parts of the armor plates, and the complex mechanical and pipeline structures were exposed inside, The walls were inlaid with small holographic projection installations, and along the way we saw countless floating screens displaying complex data, and occasionally black-robed monks flashed down the hallway, everyone busy as if they didn't even have time to look up at strangers.

It's more like a busy interstellar command center than a cathedral that's supposed to be peaceful.

"It can be determined that this so-called church...... It wasn't built by them using the materials in the ruins after the end of the world," Sandora connected to the wide-area spiritual connection, "The church shell is built at one time with battleship-grade armor alloy, not recycled scrap metal, there are three huge control systems in the church, I haven't analyzed its firewall yet, but I can preliminarily judge that this system and the entire church are one, such a thing can only exist before the end of the world, and it is something intact left by the old empire back then...... But what it is, I'm afraid I can't say exactly, it could be a starport command center, or it could be the bridge of a giant battleship. There were also a lot of strange-shaped spaceships we built back then. ”

I nodded imperceptibly, what Sandora said was very interesting, and I couldn't help but pay a little more attention to this church.

Yod looked like a man who didn't like to talk, and led us through this huge spire for several minutes, and he didn't open his mouth once, just silently led the way in front, and of course there was nothing to say between us and this unfamiliar person, and then our own communication was mostly based on spiritual connection, so the road was quite dull, and the mercury lamp began to yawn again, and played with the feathers on his body boredly, Bingdis walked boredly and muttered that he wanted to establish his own chapter here, and he didn't have to ask what it was. Poison Island Tsuneko, a human girl who originally came with a playful mentality, muttered in my ear sullenly: "Brother, it seems that it is not interesting to go to the otherworldly world to save the world, right?" ”

From the very beginning, the starting point of most of us in this team was very problematic......

Fortunately, even the most boring journey came to an end, and we finally followed Yoder around the road to a hall on the many floors of the road, which should be located on the central axis of the middle of the minaret, with a radius of at least 100 meters, and in the center of the hall, there was a cylindrical room, a circle of walls that isolated it from the outside world from top to bottom, and it was not difficult to see the peculiarity of this place in the whole church just from its location: the center of the center.

Several of the other black-robed friars bowed to Yod, and then quietly retreated, only the handsome middle-aged and elderly man Yord led us into the cylindrical room.

"Huh?"

As soon as she entered the room, Sandora let out a low "um" and her eyes narrowed slightly, which was her front paw when she became interested in something and began to think quickly.

"It looks like our family's command room." Shallow muttered in a low voice, and Lin Xue immediately corrected it: "Pointing at the battle center, right?" Then my sister frowned, "I think it's like an eternity-class bridge - a miniature version." I thought about it and joined the discussion: "Isn't it like the Intelligence Center?" Look at these screens. ”

At the end, the mercury lamp said in a daze: "What, it looks like a bubble game room." ”

Then a few of us were ashamed.

The mercury lamp is really accurate, maybe it is usually dragged by bubbles to play games and watch anime, she can see at a glance that the room in front of her is like a central computer room, but there is a difference with the central computer room, that is, it is not a crystal prism in the middle, but a circular platform, around the circular platform and on a ring of alloy walls in the room There are a large number of data terminals, and even there are many holographic screens that are emitting a glimmer of light suspended in the air, These flickering images made the otherwise spacious room look a little more cramped - of course, it could be because of the dozen or so of us rushing in at once.

"Well, now you can say, where is the so-called archbishop?"

Seeing Yoder leading us to such a room, which no matter how we look at it, even my sister couldn't help but feel a little strange, and couldn't help but ask.

Yoder took off his hood, revealing a neat and meticulous short gray hair, coupled with the black robe, and the whole image looked like a Christian priest preparing for Mass in his prayer room, he looked at us, there was something in his eyes that was finally confirmed, and then nodded: "As I guess, your origin is really suspicious - if you are a normal citizen, even if you don't know my face, when you hear the name Yod, I won't be unable to remember that the name is the archbishop of today. ”

A few of us were stunned.

Bing Tis reacted in an instant, and looked at the middle-aged and elderly handsome man with a long pitch: "Oh-that means, you played us from the beginning, right?" ”

"That's a bit serious," Yod didn't have a look of embarrassment on his face, and looked at Bingdes as usual, "I don't have any ill intentions, but I always have to be vigilant enough, your presence is really not in line with common sense and the knowledge left by the ancients, and I need to make sure that you are not trying to endanger my people." ”

"So what do you conclude now? We're badass, aren't we? "Shallow said to the other party, this girl seems a little angry, this is really surprising, I thought she was a complete lack of heart.

"To tell you the truth, I'm even more confused, I don't know how to judge the meaning of your existence, you obviously don't know a lot of common knowledge in the world, waste food, squander ancient relics in your hands, don't work, and wear luxurious clothes that haven't been produced for hundreds of years," Yod reached out and pressed on the nearest data terminal for a few seconds, and something like liquid metal immediately bulged on the floor of the room, and soon formed a lot of hard alloy chairs, "Please take a seat." ”

The other party was very polite, and we cooperated, and sat down one after another, only Pandora and Viska were obviously not satisfied with the height of these standard chairs, and one of them came out with a cannonball shell and sat next to my lap, like two well-behaved and cute kittens, Lilina couldn't climb into the chair and conjured up a bunch of flowers and vines to make a hammock to enjoy there, and the mercury lamp sat on my shoulder, and Ilson got stuck—he shouldn't have worn that hapless armor.

This family can even sit in a seat, do you think it's okay?

It was also the first time that Yod Xing saw Lori who casually conjured up shell shells as stools and idiots who could jam themselves in the chair, and couldn't help but straighten his eyes for a while, and then his eyes fell on Lilina again, looking at those green vines with a curious face, but maybe he was already immune to our anomalies, he quickly came back to his senses and was ready to speak.

It was then that a low roar came from far beneath our feet, and then there was a violent shaking around us.

There was an earthquake!

Earthquake?

The shaking of the ground under my feet made me think of these three words for a moment, but what illuminated my mind more quickly than these three words was the dream of Lin Xue that I accidentally saw that day: the fusion pile went out, the earth shook, the planet disintegrated, and the universe collapsed.

Now the fusion reactor extinguishing has happened, and the ground is shaking beneath our feet!

I immediately raised my head and looked in the direction of Lin Xue, but the other party shook his head at me after being slightly stunned, and made an expression of "not started yet".

After so much time together, there is still a tacit understanding between myself and the eldest lady, as long as I look at her, I can see what she means.

The prophesied great tribulation is not yet in time.

But this shaking is definitely not a good thing!
