Chapter 882: The Nest

In this grotesque town, known as the "Condenser", you can see many iconic symbols of the old empire with a little attention, and the facades of the slab houses made of dilapidated metal plates can be seen everywhere with records representing their former uses, some of which are marked with the words "Functional District"

Some of the nameplates with such words are numbers representing the number of the troops, as well as blood-red triangular imprints. The town was undoubtedly built from the remnants of the Legion of Doom.

The whole town is built on a metal disc with a radius of about half a kilometer, just like Glick, this is a condenser, according to the size of its cover, Sandora judged that it should be a special aircraft carrier parts, the town is surrounded by many ramps of unusual height, at the end of the ramp is a circle of equally neat heights, such a "terrain" may have originated from an energy shock from the outside, some kind of weapon similar to the main cannon of the galaxy destroyed the armor outside the cooling crew of this aircraft carrier, leaving a crater-like holeThe condenser under the armor survived, but still left a large number of traces of high-temperature melting (we soon found ripples of molten metal on the east side of the square, proving this inference), and now, this crater-like armor hole has become a haven for a group of scavengers.

The mercury lamp flew high into the air and looked around, and she found that the overall terrain of this area was a little inclined to one side, and near the very far horizon, the "earth" was high up, like a sliding aircraft carrier deck, and on the other side of the horizon, there was a cliff at an angle of almost 90 degrees, and on the edge of the cliff, she could vaguely see something like a lift moving up and down rapidly, and there were continuous lights on that side, and you could see the aircraft rushing from behind the cliff into the distant sky.

The mercury lamp tells us all about what she found, and Sandora judged that it was because the aircraft carrier under our feet had been tilted into the ruined planet when it crashed, and at the same time, the force of the huge vehicle impact had cut off the upper deck of another ship in the distance, leaving behind a cliff-like terrain, and there should be a settlement near that cliff, much larger than this town.

The noisy mercury lamp, which is only 3 centimeters tall and can fly around, makes Glick more and more curious, and he tries to say hello to the arrogant doll, and I am happy to see how the mercury lamp will react in this situation, so we have to pay Glick a new dress.

The blouse was destroyed by a metal storm from the puppet girl, but Glick didn't look unhappy at all, but made a fortune on his face, as if it would be a good thing for him to risk being cut by a thousand knives to get a new dress, he looked at the sharp feathers behind him, and curiously asked if the mercury lamp was from the latest guard robot made in Ayutthaya The townspeople who were watching us from a distance were driven back to the house by Sandora with mental hints, However, there were still some residents who had not been affected in the first place, and now a few of the residents who looked to be older came out of the higher-looking dwelling pods and waved to Creek from afar. Keeping them free from the effects of mental suggestion was something that Sandora deliberately did, and we needed to learn more about this world from the adult population, and Glick obviously didn't know enough about it.

Greek was called by a chubby old man with white hair, and after a few words, the latter looked surprised, and the old man was pulled in front of us, and Glick happily pointed to us and introduced him: "Grandpa Barnard, these are guests from the big city, they have hired me as a guide, and they want to see our town!" "The old man known as Barnard was dressed in burlap, his clothes looked neater than the others, and there were some simple ornaments, which may have made him know his special status in this town, and he had several black handprints on his sleeve, but the former didn't seem to care, he just looked at me and Sandora with somewhat cloudy eyes, and his expression flashed a little doubt, and then he looked behind Glick, and the octopus-like autonomic machine was grunting behind GlickOccasionally flying out of the city half a meter away and quickly turning back, this brand-new robot made the old man stare at it for a full ten seconds, but in the end he didn't ask much, just bowed to us, trembling and said: "The people of the big city are rare here, what can this place for scrap metal be of service to them?" "If Gorrik will be deceived because of his knowledge, then this old man in front of him who looks at least four circles older than me should not be so easy to fool the past, we all know that the age of the Daoist is directly proportional to the knowledge in most cases, this old man should have seen a lot of real people in the city no matter how he thinks about it, and he does have a puzzled look on his face, but despite this, the other party still didn't ask anything, which made me and Sandora look at each other, a little concerned.

"We were just passing by," Lin Xue covered her nose, "I haven't seen such a messy place before, so we should understand what's going on." ”

The wrinkles on the old man's face relaxed, and he said in a very heartfelt tone: "Yes, yes, the people of Dacheng will have such thoughts...... Glick, take the guests around, tell them about the adults singing hymns, the party is about to start in a moment, and all the children will get two sugar cakes today. ”

Glick cheered with joy, hugged Barnard vigorously, and led us to see the rest of the town's buildings that he thought were amazing, but now we didn't have much interest in that, after all, these things were so special that they were a broken ship, and if we wanted to see them, there were many recycling furnaces, and there were all kinds of ......

"By the way, take us to the house."

My sister looked around, looked a little bored, and then said to Glick.

Gorrik looked at us in some surprise, obviously he didn't expect the arrows from Ayutthaya to be curious about the lives of the common people and want to go to the shantytown, but he still remembered what he had promised us, so he nodded happily: "Okay, my house is in front." But the house is very much, I'm afraid I can't let you live in it......"

As soon as he finished this, Glick slapped himself on the head vigorously: "Wow, I forgot, adults from big cities don't live in that kind of place." Please follow me! ”

Boy Glick's house is on the "high ground" on the side of the town, which is a metal platform more than half a meter above the ground, surrounded by a ring of alloy pillars less than half a meter high like a fence, which may be the location of the condenser's particle reduction unit, but now its original coil and control terminal are gone, probably vaporized with the attack that year. Just like the shantytowns in other parts of the town, Glick's iron houses are also fixed with willow nails and wired solder joints, and the orientation is crooked, all the houses in the whole town seem to be unplanned, there is no fixed north-south direction, and the direction of the opening seems to come randomly, which is due to the disturbance of the magnetic field on the ruined planet, and the planet itself has no direction of rotation and the structural characteristics of normal celestial bodies, so there is no concept of southeast and northwest here, and the residents of the town build houses completely in accordance with the principle of saving effort and trouble.

Glick led us to the front of the house, then went up and tapped the door hard, shouting, "Drops! Water! I'm back! Open the door quickly, there are guests! Amazing guests from Ayutthaya! ”

I found that wherever he went, Glick always kept the words "guest from the big city" on his lips, as if we were bringing him the highest glory by following him, which may have been a child's show-off mentality. As Gorrik shouted at the door, a potholed old metal plate slid from the wall to the side of the conscience of heaven and earth, and I really didn't recognize it as a door until it moved!

A girl of about seven or eight years old looked out timidly from the house, she was wearing the same coarse cloth clothes as the rest of the town, but the gray skirt looked clean, the girl was very thin, which made her look a little more responsible than her actual age, the other party had a pair of light blue eyes, although a little cringe, but looked very smart, and there was also curiosity for her age, a goose-yellow short hair was messily draped behind her head, as if she had just woken up.

"Water droplets, eat this! I came back today to get Q, and before I finished the food, I was waiting to eat sugar cakes at the evening party! Glick happily took out an iron box from the dirty overalls pocket, and then took out two gray-white rectangular blocks from the box, and the girl named Shuizhu silently took the thing that could not attract people to eat no matter how she looked at it, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it vigorously, nodding at us, and dodging out of the gap in the room.

"Shuizhu doesn't like words, she doesn't usually leave the house much" Gorrik smiled awkwardly at us, as if his sister didn't show enough respect to the guests from the big city, making him feel very cramped, "Shuizhu is only nine years old this year, but she can already do a lot of things, she is a hardworking girl, and the priests in the nearby big towns have praised her." ”

Glick's hut is not big, just like all the houses around, it is a single-story structure, several pieces of molded metal plates taken out of the wreckage of the spaceship corridor form an irregular frame, and then the roof is piled up with metal plates of the same texture, textiles, and soft materials, such a simple house, and there are several compartments in it with iron sheets and cloth curtains, as soon as our big group of people entered, the "living room" was immediately crowded, and there was no room to even turn around, Bing Teis couldn't stand such a cramped environment, After pulling the five members of the Protoss out of the gang, the space seemed a little wider, and then Lan also followed out of the gang, as a big fox with a lot of tails, it was indeed a disaster to turn around in such an environment... And Glick's frequent questioning as he looked at her large pile of tails also bothered the hapless demon fox girl.

We looked at everything in this humble nest with curiosity, the things here are familiar, but inexplicable, the familiar thing is that they basically bear the traces of the empire, such as those containers with imperial emblems, which are made of truncated energy pipes, and mirrors and lampshades made of "polymorphic Orlank crystals", many household items can easily be seen that they are processed from waste materials on spaceships, and the inexplicable thing is that there are some things in them that make people confused about their use, in my opinion and Sandora, Those were the rags that should have been thrown into the recycling oven a long time ago, but they were all stacked in the room, along with the daily necessities.

Gorrik noticed our gaze and immediately scratched his hair and explained, "I recovered them from the metal station, and they look useful, but the people on the big ship don't accept these things. Oh, check it out! ”

Glick's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he was in a hurry to show off his toys to outsiders

Like a child, he quickly ran to the corner of the house, and pulled out a metal box from a pile of broken copper and iron, although this metal box was a little damaged, but the overall structure was very complete, and the crystal components on it were smooth and shiny, which was obviously carefully wiped.

"I found this from a long way away, almost to the territory of another metal station, it still has energy, as long as it is..."Glick happily demonstrated to us, fiddling with the metal box a few times, its crystal components suddenly lit up, and then, a holographic image suddenly appeared in mid-air, and it turned out to be a portable holographic projection generator.

Due to the glitch, the holographic image in the air is shaking, and only the bottom half of the screenshot is a large group of soldiers marching in formation, but we can only see those neatly arranged legs, the picture gradually moves to the front of this army as the camera progresses, after crossing a large number of legs, what appears in front of the camera is the leader of this army, a figure wearing a black cloak, which looks like it is only up to the waist of the soldiers around him, this figure turns his head and the picture ends here.

I broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately the picture ended here, otherwise Viskal's 720,000-year-old headshot would have appeared in front of Glick's eyes across time and space, which is really a particularly sad thing, the picture is only half of the picture, Visk's head is still completely in front of the camera, and I have already seen the girl's eye circles red. Of course, it is also possible that she is not red, her eyes are already red, but it is true that Pandora is grinding her teeth.

As we looked around and chatted with Gorrik, the girl named Droplet sat quietly in a large chair, chewing vigorously on the gray-white rectangular cube that Greck had given her, which must be the daily food of the inhabitants of this world, and I saw several similar things on the table not far away, they were of a uniform shape, and they had no smell, and although they had not tasted them, I was sure that none of them had any color and fragrance. According to the report before the comparison, there is no agricultural system at all in this world, and there is no other industry that can produce natural organic matter, and all the daily living materials of the indigenous people come from the things excavated in the ruins and some ancient large factories, which seem to be dismantled from the ecological maintenance system of large spaceships, maybe they are the source of fresh water and food in this world, and the artificial organic matter synthesized by machines in the mouth of the girl's "water droplet" should be like this.

My sister finally talked to the girl who was a little bold with her unparalleled affinity, and her sister asked the girl about the source of the food in her mouth on the grounds that "people in the big city don't eat this kind of thing", and Shuizhu obviously knew less about the outside world than Glick, and she was deceived by her sister at once, and then told us that all the food came from the food synthesizer in the town, but the raw materials used in the synthesizer had to be bought from a larger city, and the ultimate source of those ingredients was some old "heritage factory" As we have speculated, food and water are completely machine-synthesized in this world, just like the atmosphere.

A world realm built on death can only be maintained by machines.

Glick was communicating with his new partner in the corner of the room, the so-called new partner was the autonomic machine we gave him, because the latter was always gurgling and making sounds, Glick simply named it, called Doodo, and the autonomic machine, which had little thinking ability, gladly accepted its new name, and reorganized its work instructions in this cramped room, the advanced "unfixed structure technique" In just a few minutes, it learned about its new job positioning sheep and Gorrik's brainwaves have made a preliminary connection, and now it is quickly reassembling several broken metal lumps into an infantry ghost shield generator under the instructions of its new owner, such a magical work efficiency makes Greek cry out excitedly, he happily points to the autonomic machine that has refreshed the scrap pile with a speed visible to the naked eye and shouts at us: "Look, Dudu is definitely the best master craftsman I have ever seen, The two great craftsmen in the town are not as nimble as it is, and I'm going to bring this to Grandpa Barnard and have him help sort the metal, and the town will grow! "This is a treasure, you want to give it to someone else?" Sandora glanced at Glick in surprise.

"It's not for others, it's for the town to use,、, Gorrik seriously corrected the way" and something like this should be used collectively, because efficiency is the law, and that's what the hymn says: "We work, we move forward, we overcome everything, efficiency is a virtue left to us by the ancient gods, and they have given us inexhaustible resources to make this world as happy as heaven" But I thought, "Dudu, it's still mine, according to custom, the collective can only use it." Glick sings us a so-called "hymn" in a very strange tone, and then suddenly looks at this side: "By the way, that's how people in the big city sing hymns, right?" I've heard that the big city is much more lively than the town when it gathers, and they have big shields that can cover the whole city, and when they celebrate, they project a lot of beautiful scenery on the shields. "His same question was too sudden, where did a few of us know what big city it was, and Sandora didn't even intend to deal with the boy's more and more problems, but fortunately, just when I couldn't think of how to fool around, there was a lively voice from outside, and a loud voice was particularly loud in the midst of the noise: "Hey, hey! Come on! It's time to sing praise! ”!。
