(Ladies and gentlemen, a new month begins...... So let's start throwing the monthly pass! ）

The little boy named Grek looked at the mechanical creature that was floating between his sister and him with a dull expression, the miniaturized autonomic machine with a diameter of less than half a meter was like a naughty little pet, turning back and forth in the air, it was getting acquainted with this strange world, and changing its body structure and energy circulation to cope with the possible working conditions in the local natural environment, this amazing adaptability and pseudo-evolutionary ability could make it the ultimate robot in the eyes of ordinary civilization, However, in the various mechanical facilities of the Xiling Empire, it is just a pipe cleaner-like horn, and it is worth the same value as a wrench.

But it seems that for the little boy, its value is different.

Gorrik's eyes widened, as if he had never seen such a magical machine, which made me a little worried, whether the things that my sister took out were exactly what this ruined world did not have, which would scare away the local people we had finally met, and at this moment, the autonomic machine also happened to complete its "rapid evolution", it adjusted the angle of several of its mechanical arms, and then let out a hún beep sound, and briskly carried out the order given to it by my sister: move closer to its new master.

"Ahh

The little boy Glick let out a cry of terror, and sat down to the ground in terror at the sudden inception of the autonomic machine, which immediately braked sharply in mid-air, and after two circles around his new master in annoyance, let out a somewhat aggrieved beep at us.

These little robots made by Gaia are simply too much fun.

Greek clumsily got up from the ground, and the autonomic machine in mid-air immediately stepped forward again, but this time it was clever enough not to pounce on the other party. Instead, he stopped about a meter away from the other party, and the little boy didn't care about slapping the dust on the kùzi (in fact, I wondered if the kùzi was still necessary, it looked much dirtier than the ground here), but looked at the new silver machine in front of him in a daze, and then turned his head to look at us: "A new 'master craftsman'?" Give me? You must be kidding! I know that I have heard the old people in the town say that the people of the big city will make such jokes about the children in the country. I'm going to get beaten if I touch this ......."

"No, it's yours, as a guide," I breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this thing also exists in this Ruined World Realm, but its value here is probably different from the machine phalanx that I have in my impression, "Of course." As a jiāo change, we have some special requirements: don't ask too much, cooperate with our questions, don't talk about us casually with others, can this be done? ”

The little boy Glick cautiously looked me in the eye to make sure there was no sly smile there, and then glanced with a somewhat dazed look at the autonomic machine that was flying carefully around him. In the end, he nodded firmly: "The people of the old Glick family are the most trustworthy, and the entire Condenser Town knows about it!" ”

Here we go again, the weird name of the town, this one full of ruins. Even the planets are made up of the wreckage of huge spaceships is so strange that not only does it look like we have never seen before, but even its place name is just as rare, and the so-called "big city" aside, what is the matter with this town called "Condenser"?

"Condenser Town is the name we gave it," Gorrik led us down another path, one that would go around the nearly ninety-degree ramp and lead to the town below, just a little farther away. "Most of the temporary settlements don't have names, but this one has been going on for decades. So the old people in the town decided to name the settlement, and they looked up a lot of information disks. Then it was discovered that the large metal plate underneath the town was something called a condenser, so they called it the town of 'condenser'. I think there must be more Condenser Towns in the world, because a lot of temporary settlements will be built on metal platforms similar to the one below our town, and there will always be a few of those metal platforms that are also condensers, and if those towns can last long enough, and there are a group of smart old people, they can also be called 'Condenser' towns......"

Greek obviously tried his best to be a qualified tour guide, but maybe he really didn't do this, or maybe there was no tourism at all in this world, although he tried to tell us the history of his town in vivid language, but in the end what he said was a mess, and it was nonsense, but fortunately we didn't care about the origin of this town, and what everyone was most curious about now was what this ruined world was like, its origins, its inhabitants, It's hard to imagine that the indigenous people here would be survivors of the Doomsday War 720,000 years ago, and they are still living in ruins and living such a strange wasteland life after the end of the world, if it weren't for the judgment of the Temple of Life, I wouldn't believe that the inhabitants of this place survived the hundreds of thousands of years after the end of the world in the ruins. The original purpose of everyone coming here was to find Viskar's lost fleet, and at the same time to find the truth about the Destruction Legion's attack on this world world 720,000 years ago, but now, these two goals seem to be less urgent, and everyone's interest has begun to shift to this ruined world world itself.

"Very interesting idea, probability and statistics."

Lin Xue suddenly glanced at Greek and said in a light tone, "Tell us about the situation in this place, in the big city, you can't see a dirty place like this, I'm curious about this place." ”

"Of course, people in Ayutthaya do sometimes be curious about the various collection stations and workstations, because you don't usually do that...... Oh, I don't mean anything else," Greek walked briskly ahead, his tone relaxed as he approached the lights ahead, "This is a metal station, and it's a secondary recycling station, you see, it's full of scrap metal cut into small pieces, it's all taken from scrapped machines, and everyone knows that the resources of the world come from the ground beneath our feet. But not all resources can be picked up and used, and what has been scrapped must also be reused to avoid làng fees. This metal station is the place where all kinds of resources are collected and organized, and every week there are large ships that throw a lot of scrap metal collected from other places and resource metals that need to be dismantled, and the adults sort them on weekdays, and send useful things to the big factories or small factories - but most of them are sent to small factories, after all, most of them are smaller parts, and the big factories will not accept them. It's not the same if it's a first-class recycling station, they all deal with big things. There are bigger mountains of metal, and a piece of stuff on the mountain is bigger than these small piles around us, and there are even first-level recycling stations that can dig up resources from the vicinity of settlements that can be used directly......"

Glick babbled on and on about what he knew, but it sounded a little unclear to us. I can't ask him more directly, so I can only try to restore a social system that is still alive in the world of ruins according to his description.

The mercury lamp lay boredly on my shoulder, and she looked at the dilapidated garbage heaps around her. I couldn't help but shrink my body and hugged my head harder, feeling the small and delicate body moving back and forth on my shoulder, I gently patted the other party's tuǐ: "What's wrong?" ”

"Stupid human, I don't like it here,"

Mercury Lamp whispered, "I...... I hate the atmosphere here. ”

"Do you want to go back to the ship?" I can roughly guess the reason why Mercury Lamp is in a bad mood. It may have reminded her of something that was not very good, and although those things had been overcome by her, it would still be a little uncomfortable to come into contact with them suddenly. "Good, obedient."

"Don't treat me like a child," the mercury lamp tapped me on the head dissatisfied, but shook his head firmly, "That's even more boring, the ship is full of rigid GIs and the scientist who puts doppelgangers everywhere, and I can still fight with Lilina with you......"

Me: "......"

I always feel that the problem of children's education at home is about to become a serious problem in front of me again.

After a short walk, we came to the main entrance of the town called "Condenser" in Glick's mouth. It is said to be a positive mén, but in fact it is nothing more than a triangular shelf supported by three crooked alloy skeletons. This triangular shelf is welded to a fence wall more than one meter high that encloses the entire residential area, and is the only entrance to this wall. The walls were made of what seemed to be the soft metal lining of the ship's corridors, and the almost worn Imperial script could be faintly seen on them, while the triangular mén probably came from a scrapped gun mount, which was five or six meters high, and was a bit too large compared to the walls.

The large triangular mén surprisingly had an automatic mén ban system, and a dozen or so unneat high-energy gratings blocked in front of the mén, and I took a closer look, and found that they came from two tall pillars at the mouth of the mén, and the pillars were tied with pairs of beam generators with unknown wires, and their energy lines were so rough that they stretched out from the low fence to the town.

With a wall of more than one meter, a completely outward ban on energy, and the swaying joints that can be seen everywhere on the wall, I can't help but think about how many heartless intruders need to be stopped by such a security system, in all fairness, with this kind of security level, the high school classmates who jumped over the wall with me to play games outside the school can be cracked, and they might as well put a director of the teaching department at the entrance of the mén to install such a high-tech grating wall......

Accustomed to the rudimentary facilities, Gorrik just gave us a gesture of waiting, and pulled out a small crystal card from his pocket, which looked rough and didn't seem to be Empire-style, and he swept the gadget over the beam generator in front of the mén, and the interceptor beam was gone.

"Welcome to Condenser Town – the people of Ayutthaya are a rarity here, and the last time we welcomed a guest from Ayutthaya was three years ago." Grek waved his skinny arms happily, and it was clear that he was in a good mood when he got home.

We followed each other with a sense of curiosity, and the dilapidated surroundings may not be so pleasant, but the freshness of this strange world has diluted the negative effects well. I looked around and saw that it was indeed a settlement built on a large metal plane, and the "ground" under my feet was a whole piece of alloy, the surface of which was so rough that it was almost impossible to see what it used to be. Everywhere you find pipe or cable connections that extend from under the metal floor, these connections are repurposed, tied to ropes and used as fixtures in the shanty towns to reinforce the roofs of the iron houses that can be found everywhere.

When we were on the high ground just now, we had seen the unruly iron houses in this settlement from a distance, and at the time it seemed to be dilapidated, but now that we have taken a closer look, it is better to take a closer look.

We were surrounded by houses like that: crooked shantytowns connected by dilapidated twisted metal plates. The most miscellaneous shantytowns are tied directly with metal wires and willow nails, and the gaps between the metal plates are large enough for people to see the inside from the outside. The slightly better shanty houses showed signs of welding, and it wasn't easy to weld the dismantled metal plates from the Imperial ships, perhaps they were using a radium shè cannon focusing tube that they had picked up from the garbage dump, as I don't remember the Chilling Technicians using welding guns when they were repairing their ships. Of course, it's also possible that they found a working autonomic machine (which, according to Glick, should be called "master craftsman" here) that was still running, and that could learn any kind of work. Including turning yourself into a welding gun.

The best houses in the field of view were some large neat metal boxes, which I looked at for a long time to discern that they were the living quarters for the soldiers on the large ship, but they had been stripped from the hull compartments, leaving only a pitted shell.

The arrival of us strangers seemed to have caught the attention of the townspeople, and some adults and children, dressed as shabby and dirty as Glick, poked their heads out of the corners of the nearby tin houses or "alleys" and looked at the side from afar. Their gods were nervous, with wariness in their eyes, and after seeing Gorrik standing beside us and waving around, some of them muttered something and retreated into the house. More people came out with great courage, but still no one approached, as if they had seen a heavily armed tank suddenly appear in the villagers of Tranquility Mountain Village, and they were very wary and curious about us outsiders, but they did not dare to come forward to ask a word.

Sandora, of course, was impatient with the prospect of being watched, and she looked around and suddenly snorted. Then everyone had a dazed look on their faces, and turned around and went home.

Glick didn't feel much of the change in the atmosphere around him. He began to enthusiastically introduce us to the most important part of the town, which was the Disc Square in the center of the town. It seems that the short contact has confirmed that the people in front of him who seem to be difficult to get along with are actually unusually easy-going, and the seemingly very valuable "great craftsman" as a gift has made the little boy who is only thirteen years old let his guard down, and he points to a clearing not far ahead and tells us that it is the best and most worthwhile place to see in Condenser Town: Disc Square.

In fact, it is just a circular open space, but it is clean, smaller than a basketball court, and it is surrounded by four lampposts, and the crystals on the lampposts are emitting bright light, all of which seem very simple, but in this dirty and poor place, it seems that such a clean and well-lit square is quite a great center for residents.

"Look, this is our square, every week on the rest day, the adults sing praise songs in this square, and the little ones can play at the edge of the square and get a piece or two of sugar cakes," Glick excitedly pulled me (it seems that he has already seen that I am the leader and the best talker in the group) and walked towards the center of the square, "Today is a day off, but there is still some time before the party starts, the adults are all preparing, I will also take my sister out today, I can still get six sugar cakes, and then I will not be a child." Of course, I am not an adult, I have to start working half of the work of an adult at the age of fourteen, and stop receiving the food quota for children, but this is all a small thing for the son of the old Glick family, I will be able to support myself two years ago! ”

"You have a sister?"

I asked casually, and my eyes fell to the ground.

In the middle of this so-called disc square, there is a circular area about ten centimeters above the ground, and on this small circular table with a diameter of one meter, there is a clearly recognizable symbol, which is particularly eye-catching.

A triangular emblem of blood red sè.

Viska's cat-like blood-red vertical pupils crossed a slight brilliance, and her pupils contracted into two narrow slits in an instant, she squatted down, gently stroked the triangular blood-red sè emblem on the ground, and for a long time, took out a piece of chalk and drew a chessboard on it......

"The ground here is very clean, who will play backgammon with me?"

Cat Hitomi Lori happily invited everyone, and we were dumbfounded: "......"

Well, it seems that those pictures just now are all my hallucinations, and this girl didn't even have any feelings when she saw her legion emblem back then!

Before I could make a move, Viska had been dragged aside by Pandora's ear, and Sandora touched my arm: "This is the remains of Viska's old subordinates. ”

"Maybe before we figure out the state of this space, we should find a way to find out who Viska was fighting against," I whispered, "and let the mothership put some stealth probes down and search the ancient wreckage of this space...... By the way, Sandora, would you recognize it if it was another Emperor's legion insignia? ”

"It would be fine if the Imperial database was still there, but unfortunately it's impossible now," Sandora shook her head regretfully, "The Imperial Dominion is vast and demobilized, and I didn't care much about other emperors back then, so I never recorded their legion insignia. I think Pandora's situation is worse than mine, and I'm afraid she hasn't even remembered the name of the emperor in the next heavenly district......"

Again: "......"

You said that these two war maniacs survived in such strange circumstances!.
