Chapter 116: Steam Civilization, Strange Rules
For more than a month, everyone made their way through mountains and rivers towards the ruins of the city.
Along the way, they saw all kinds of scenery that they had never seen before.
The young people, in particular, have not been anywhere since they were born.
At the same time, they also witnessed the horror of the creatures called sirenheads.
The huge body, the terrifying posture, the strange voice.
It has been deeply engraved in the depths of their memories.
Eventually, they arrived at the ruins of the city.
Standing on the flat ground, everyone looked at the ruins in front of them.
It's not the city they remember, with its steel, concrete.
Rather, it is a large, cold metal city, with a brassy sheen, full of old, quaint, and long atmosphere.
Thick brick-like clouds loom overhead, giving the city an oppressive mystique.
As they walked towards the ruins of the city, they saw a more detailed picture inside.
The chimney, which could have reached into the sky, twisted into a circle and fell aside.
The huge boiler has completely cracked.
A huge brass wall clock that has long since stopped moving.
Everywhere you can see delicate objects made up of gears covered in dust.
All kinds of twisted pipes are interspersed in the sky above the city, like the veins of the city.
The civilization of this city is completely different from what they have been exposed to before.
Their eyes were full of curiosity, and they wanted to quickly understand what kind of civilization this was.
As the creator, Shen Shen looked at these people and smiled.
The ruins of this small city were not born out of the dead world.
It was a civilization card that Shen Shen saw in the big family's thank-you gift and used it to make it.
And it is not an ordinary technological civilization, but a very unpopular steam civilization.
If they want to develop, they naturally want to promote the progress of science and technology.
However, according to their small number of people, it is naturally impossible to completely establish a perfect scientific and technological system.
So Shen Ash helped them a little, and used the steam civilization to push them forward.
Two days passed, and everyone searched the city, but no life or remains were found in the city.
It's like a gift from heaven.
They began to settle down in the city.
Start looking for things that are still useful in the city.
Over the course of several days, they found a lot of blueprints, from which they learned that such a civilization was called the Steam Civilization.
With the steam engine as the core, it burns coal and charcoal to provide steam power.
Assemble with a variety of delicate gear parts to create different tools.
These drawings contain how to manufacture and how to utilize, and are a complete blueprint for the steam civilization.
Everyone began to work together, learned people, gifted people began to study steam civilization.
Existing machines were repaired using the parts and materials that were still available in the abandoned city.
The rest of the people began to go out hunting, clearing the city of abandoned things.
One month, two months......
One year, two years......
Most of the city has been cleared.
The people here also had a rudimentary grasp of the use of steam technology.
With the sound of steam erupting, white steam rose and floated over the city.
The pipes that weave over the city rumble.
The pointer of the air valve on it is constantly beating.
Once again, the veins of the city were unblocked.
On the streets, there is a rumbling or creaking sound, and different vehicles composed of various metals, pipes, gears, and bearings are running.
The only thing they all have in common is that they all have a chimney that spews out a thin white steam after a certain distance.
The whole city has been given a new lease of life.
During this period, slender ghosts and sirenheads have appeared in people's field of vision.
It seemed to warn them that it was never really safe here.
Time passed quickly again.
Ten years, twenty years......
They have become the true masters of this steam city.
Steam technology has been fully mastered.
Everywhere you can see, the steam machines are constantly running.
At the service of their lives.
This is where they develop and they are in the middle of the year.
The takeover of the city was officially announced, and the city was named Arkham.
History is like a wheel rolling forward.
Ten years, twenty years, fifty years......
Until 100 years after they first came to the Steam City.
It's become a thriving place.
The population inside has exceeded 100,000.
Of course, it doesn't depend on all of them to give birth.
Instead, at the right time, Shen Shen made use of the bio-constructed card.
Several groups of humans were created, and they joined as refugees who had destroyed the city and didn't know how to get here.
After all, this world is unknown to them.
No one knows what's in the mist.
And their ancestors also lived here after the destruction of the original city.
The rapid increase in population has also led to the rapid development and improvement of steam engine technology.
They discovered oil, which could be used to keep the steam engine more efficient.
Wind energy can also be used to drive extremely delicate gears to keep them running.
He even developed the idea of a steam robot and a steam exoskeleton.
It is now in the experimental phase.
The city has been expanded and made even more grandiose.
A school was built in it, and knowledge began to be passed on from generation to generation.
Towns were built around them, and railroad tracks connected them to the city.
Trains spewing steam can be seen at all times, coming and going between the two.
But beneath all the signs of prosperity, there is still a strong fear in everyone's hearts.
During this period of their rapid development.
In addition to the appearance of the slender ghost and the siren, other strange stories were witnessed and began to circulate.
Sadako, the pig-headed butcher, Tomie, and the abomination, each name is well known to them.
Let them be afraid.
Gradually, there are a lot of taboo rules in their city.
Don't walk alone in the wilderness, and when you see a tall black shadow in the distance, don't look at each other directly, and run away immediately.
Try not to leave your child alone at home.
If you see a telephone pole where it shouldn't be, stay away.
Hear the sound of an unsupposed announcement, or the call of an acquaintance who doesn't see the figure.
Don't go back to the source.
When walking in the forest, you will find that the temperature around you has dropped, and a large number of dead leaves appear on the ground.
The air was filled with corruption, and he immediately fled the forest.
Because it's not the original forest anymore.
If you still see a dry well, don't run away.
When you see a dilapidated slaughterhouse in the middle of nowhere, don't enter it.
If you're lucky, you'll see the roof of the slaughterhouse covered in dissected corpses like works of art.
When you feel nauseous, you think of running away right away, there's still a chance.
When it is found that someone, young or old, is madly in love with a young girl and is willing to do anything for her.
Immediately seal off the current area, and you can't witness the faces of any of the girls inside.
After waiting for a few days or months, you can go inside and clean up the body.
And all the photographs must be burned and not to be seen.
When there is a local outbreak of plague or a large number of people die.
The body must be quarantined immediately, and the body must be disposed of immediately.
Depending on the number of corpses, it cannot exceed 2-24 hours.
