When Chekov arrived at Tesla City with his people, the nearest outpost transporting the steam core was about to depart.

The guards who came to meet them had been waiting for a long time.

Li Jianghao asked them not to take the initiative to contact these strangers, but to wait for them to take the initiative to arrive in Tesla City before making plans.

Keith was appointed captain, and according to his own words, he could only play a limited role in staying in the city, and it was better to explore various missions outside the city.

In other words, in the past five days, this guy has been working almost all day long, in addition to the necessary sleep, a proper new London iron man!

Chekov didn't pursue Allen's broken lenses, and he didn't care about the giant ship in the sky that he described, just Allen's delusion.

Their priority is to find the existing human settlements so that their companions can survive. Any equipment that could be discarded was thrown on the dreadnought.

Along the way, they encountered at least three dreadnoughts stranded, some of which were half sunk into the ice, telling them that the place they were now in was above the original sea, some distance from land.

After a long day of hard travel, I saw Tesla City.

To their surprise, only a small part of Tesla City's central energy tower was still functioning, and the inhabitants who were supposed to be there were no residents in sight.

Outside the city, a rudimentary tombstone bears the number 325, showing the number of survivors who have died there.

"We are the guards of New London, and Tesla City has been abandoned as an outpost for the core of the steam. If you are willing to take refuge in New London, we will provide the necessary food and heat lamps to recharge, but you will have to hand over your weapons. ”

Keith read out the rules, Chekov scratched his head, and was the first to drop the weapon in his hand. Anyway, there are no bullets in it for a long time.

Eighty men's weapons were collected and stored in the warehouse in Tesla City, and Keith distributed the prepared ingredients, called Chekov, the leader of the team, and told him to select twenty men to go to New London.

After that, a new scout team will come to pick up the remainder.

Chekov understood this move, as long as the other party did not deliberately make things difficult for him because he was a Slav. After all, in his impression, these queen's people have always been proud.

After a short rest with Chekov's picks, Keith returned to New London on the outpost's transport sleigh.

In the middle of the night, we finally arrived at the new London rail station.

Chekov observed the city with great interest, unlike anything he had imagined before his arrival.

They had built their houses on the outskirts of the camp, and they had the luxury of using a large number of steam hubs for heating, and it was clear that the various resources that had been extracted here were abundant.

Chekov was asked to bring only one person into the city to communicate with the mayor, and the rest were arranged on the spot in the outer buildings.

Alan was led by Chekov and led by Keith on a railcar all the way to the center of the Energy Tower.

The view from the rail car was small, and it wasn't until Chekov got off the train and looked back at the city that he marveled at what kind of city he had arrived.

There are many buildings, some areas are brightly lit, and long lights are projected from industrial production buildings in the distance, and robots are operating in them.

The power equipment temporarily relocated from Tesla City is prioritized for use in various industrial production buildings to ensure that accidents can be dealt with as quickly as possible at night.

Then there are the streetlights set up at intervals in the streets, which can only illuminate a small part of the area, but still give people a wordless comfort in the middle of the night.

If it weren't for the cold wind still howling outside, and the towering shadows of the low-lying mountain walls in the distance, he would have felt that he had returned to the city of the spring era!

This scene made him even more curious about the mayor.

Chekov met Li Jianghao in the control room of the energy tower, and originally he thought that Li Jianghao would have a house for himself and transform it into a more comfortable place to live.

So the mayor sat on the edge of a steel-framed bed, covered with improvised bedding, and waited for them.

Keith closed the door of the control room, the temperature in the room quickly returned to a suitable level, Chekov and Allen took off their winter suits, and were sitting on chairs waiting for Li Jianghao to ask.

Chekov was still holding the locked notebook in his hand, upright.

Li Jianghao looked at the two people in front of him, he was also happy, and thought that they would come up to thank Dade for a while, but they turned out to be so strict with themselves, it seems that they must not be ordinary people.

He took a pen and paper and asked, "We have observed that you have landed on the eastern coastline, which is indeed the landing place of the dreadnoughts mentioned in the official reports of various countries, but you are too late to arrive, and you do not look like the ordinary residents who were selected before, but more like soldiers." So can you tell us where you started and why you've been delaying for so long? ”

Chekov's eyes were cautious, he expected that the other party would be very observant, so he was not prepared to hide anything, and said slowly:

"In 1872, astronomers in Turkey discovered a new group of asteroids. The 1887 Patagonian earthquake in South America was identified as the result of a meteorite hitting the Antarctic continent. Then the dimming of the sun was observed, and the scientist was sent to the equatorial region to observe atmospheric circulation data. In March of this year, the Empire and the Slavic Federation collaborated to send a team to escort the scientist to the Portal camp for refuge. By the time we arrived, the scientist had committed suicide, leaving only this notebook. ”

Chekov held up the notebook in his hand and handed him to Keith. Then continues:

"It took us some time to confirm this fact, and then we lost contact with our superiors and had to go here on our own. After two months of driving, our dreadnought lost momentum, and yesterday we finally arrived at the dreadnought landing site and sent out a distress signal. ”

Li Jianghao poked his chin with the root of the pen, then drew a line on the paper and asked:

"Is Patagonia located in South America, near the Antarctic continent?"

If the meteorite impact was on the Antarctic continent that caused the earthquake there, the two sites are already very close to each other.

"That's right, it's between the southernmost point of South America and the South Pole." Chekov nodded yes, stretched out his two hands as if to gesture something, and the next sentence was held in his throat for a while before he said:

"It is one of the colonies of your empire, and some local governors did not obey your empire's orders when the cold began to fall, and ran to the Antarctic continent to take refuge."

Li Jianghao arched his brows and asked tentatively, "Then, they are all dead?" ”
