Advancing along the track towards the imperial capital, until the banks of the Seys River, two horses are slowly walking along the Avenue of Glory, heading towards the imperial capital.

"It's outrageous to think about, how do the Terrans maintain this kind of thing?"

On top of the horse, a knight in full armor was raising his head, looking at the faint shadow of the mountains in the distance, and he said to himself with some helplessness and incredulity: "I feel a headache when I look at it, my God...... It's been more than a thousand years and it's still working, is this a planetary shield generator, or a semi-perpetual shield? ”

"And, the city of lonely mountains, the city of God's blessing...... While this is true, it is just as misleading. ”

Approaching from a small town near the plains surrounding the imperial capital, a behemoth like the City of Lonely Mountains is still impressive.

As an engineer in his previous life, it was really difficult for Ian to figure out how this steel giant with more than 10,000 meters up and down and more than 10 or 20 kilometers wide was built, and where did so many materials come from, could it be that it was asteroid belt mining? The moon base is about the same size, but it's a low-gravity environment.

Although it is not impossible according to Terra's technique, it is ...... Then again.

What is it that can bring the civilization of the pre-era back to what it is now?

The shape of the imperial capital, or the shape of the lonely mountain where the imperial capital is located, is a giant metal structure similar to a volcano, its cone-shaped mountain is like a mountain, and the vent that spews light is the crater, but this volcano is more than 10,000 meters high, and the clouds can only surround it in the middle of it.

But it is by no means the case as a whole, Ian can see just by looking at the shape that there should be a considerable part of the 'underground structure' in the Lonely Mountain, which should be a giant shelter, and the ancestors of human civilization in the entire Sertar Empire are estimated to have survived the catastrophe in this shelter.

Let's just say that the tech tree in Terra is a bit outrageous. After all, he still has Morion Steel on his left hand, a universal tool material that can self-proliferate, self-replicate, and carry out orders to repair all damage, and he can at least take a room of awards and medals on Earth, and even be invited to the Academy of Sciences to provide it.

With Morion Steel, it will not be too difficult for the Lonely Mountain and the Imperial Capital to maintain themselves.

What's more, the human city is actually built on the shell at the foot of the lonely mountain, and the interior may be a little bit, but not the entire lonely mountain is the imperial capital.

The pillar of light in the distance, which is less obvious than at night, is not a laser beam, nor is it a particle beam, according to Ian's speculation, it is probably a position to maintain the light path, it does not emit light itself, but only in the atmosphere because of the high energy to excite such a band of light.

As long as it reaches thinner areas of the atmosphere, it will not continue to emit light.

In addition, Ian also sensed that the imperial capital itself also had the power to artificially regulate the weather.

It is precisely because of the interaction of sunlight, wind and temperature and various things in the imperial capital, the 'planetary shield generator', that the belly of the Settar Empire can be such a fertile plain, otherwise, it may be okay at first, and years of cultivation and development will definitely turn this place into a barren desert.

"Ian, how are you going to get into the city?"

Birch and Frostbutterfly sit on the other horse's luggage, and Miss Elf happily controls the stones on the riverside, and even cheats with psionic powers, which Frostbutterfly uses ice chips.

After watching the stones and ice chips flutter on the surface of the river for more than a dozen times and sink to the bottom and melt, she turned her head and asked Ian curiously: "The access control of the imperial capital is relatively strict, and there are many passages, you say that you don't want to attract attention, then it is estimated that you can only take ordinary passages." ”

"I just don't want to."

Ian said this, shaking his head, "But how can I not be remarkable?" Don't say that I am a sublimator, the people and organizations within the imperial capital that should pay attention to me must be waiting for me now. As long as I get close to the imperial capital, they will definitely get the news. ”

"What I'm thinking about now is how to deal with that. Also, among many people and organizations, I have to make a choice, where to act first, to show my attitude. ”

“…… It's complicated. ”

Hua Di blinked, and she said a little dazedly: "Didn't you say that it was Isengard who invited you to the imperial capital?" I mean, aren't you going to be the first to meet him? ”

Frostbutterfly also nodded: "Yes, yes." ”

Ian smiled, "Then am I a guest of the Eren family, or a knight of the Patrol?" Does the Eren family want me to be a knight on the Patrol or a regular guest in their house? ”

"Shall I visit Elan's house first, or shall I see Isengard alone? Is it alone with Isengard, or with Master Gosai? ”

"Meet Master Gosai, is it in the Alchemy Society, or is it in the Platinum-Iridium Workshop? Or is it at his house? Miss Fairy, there are a lot of these doorways. ”

"Wow......"

Hua Di's eyes widened, she and Frost Butterfly glanced at each other, and sighed, "It's so complicated." ”

Frostbutterfly also nodded solemnly: "Yes, yes." ”

"In short, humans don't have the psionic powers that you elves can easily understand each other."

With his hands clasped to his chest, Ian thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay." ”

"Report to the Knights first, settle the matter of the Marquis of Batun, and then go to Ethan."

After deciding on the follow-up plan, one person and two goblins continued to walk along the Avenue of Glory. The Imperial Capital City Circle is still ahead, this is the plain farming area, and the morning morning light covers the entire vast Quinore Plains, and the sun and breeze accompany them through this vast field.

The clear water of the river flows, the fresh air surrounds you, and from time to time you can hear the rumbling of trains and see the smoke of cooking in the distant towns.

At noon, Ian came to a small village.

Unlike the main body of the imperial capital, which seems to be outrageously advanced, to the point of being more akin to a miracle, this small village is an ordinary town except for a few metal towers that appear to be relatively advanced.

However, some huge metal machinery can be seen in operation in the fields - probably repurposed from decommissioned old armor? Or is it a specialized farming machine? But no matter what you say, it's very eye-catching.

"Mechanized farming has been used next to the imperial capital? That's right, there is alchemy, and this kind of thing like fertilizer must have been solved a long time ago, but I don't know if there are any large fertilizer factories. ”

Ian was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then smiled and thought again: "In this case, the farmer is not a simple manual labor occupation, but a large-scale crop producer more similar to a skilled worker...... In this way, the agricultural population of the empire must have been greatly reduced compared to before the Black King. ”

"The liberated agricultural population will pour into the industrial industry, but in fact, I have not seen so many industrial populations, and most of the dwarf towns in the Luoxing Hills are dwarf artificial workshops, and no complete sets of industrial parks have been established."

"Of course, there may be large-scale industrial bases elsewhere, but what happens to the population here?"

"So many people...... Could it be that you are an adventurer? ”

In Nanling, more than 70 percent of the population are basic producers such as farmers and fishermen, and the rest of the 20 percent are mostly medicine pickers and hunters, and the few who remain are craftsmen and blacksmiths.

The Bai Zhimin family, it is precisely because of the mastery of a large number of craftsmen that Elder Pude has cultivated a new generation of technicians mainly Ian, in order to ensure the important position of the clan in the port.

In Nauman City, the number of farmers in the vicinity of the Onyx Plain has been greatly reduced, as the safe areas have been greatly improved due to the input of tamed Terra creatures such as the Byson Bull, as is the case with the various restaurants and shops in Nauman City, and even the thriving bread industry in Twin Tree Town.

There is no shortage of food, and all kinds of refined foods and delicious foods have gradually become the mainstream of people's pursuit...... In Nauman City, eating healthy or not has become a question for local staff.

And in the imperial capital...... What really needs to be thought about should be Warcraft materials.

"Then the population of this town should not be very large. In addition to the agricultural belt, there should also be related industrial cities and transit cities around the super-mega cities, which are the places where the population gathers. ”

Raising his head thoughtfully and looking around the entire village, Ian said to himself, "But how do you feel that there are not many people?" ”

Both the Foresight and the Silver Chip told him that there were more than eight thousand people in the town in front of him...... That's a lot.

But whatever, go in and see.

With that in mind, Ian rode into the town.

Ian thought it wasn't all that different from any town he'd entered before.

But the truth told him that it was wrong.

As soon as he stepped into the town, children playing on the side of the road saw his armor.

On board, several children who were playing football showed frightened expressions, and they just picked up the ball and ran, walking towards the alley.

"Daddy, Daddy, the knight is here!"

When Ian heard this, he stopped his horse in confusion, and instead of moving forward, he quietly observed the whole town.

Sure enough, soon, the originally quiet and slow town seemed to press the start button, and it was like a large shark being put into a fish floating around in a water tank...... In an instant, people moved.

It didn't take long for Ian to stop in front of him, and there was an old man with a ruddy complexion and gray-brown hair, but a sad look.

Ian could see that the old man had a hint of dislike with himself that stemmed from his identity.

"Honorable Knight...... I'm the mayor of Garr. The old man said in a rough voice, "Are you here to check?" Please allow us to prepare a ......"

"No, it's not."

Ian dismounted, looked at the mayor, he took the reins of the horse, and said calmly: "I'm from the country, go to the imperial capital, just passing by." ”

"If you don't mind, can you tell me if there's a place to eat in town?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then nodded.
