Chapter 9 Black Technology That Can't Be Replicated
?The parts of the ancient city that were destroyed by the forced attack of the Holy Trinity, as well as buildings that were decayed due to the age of time—
All of them have been repaired at this moment, and they have even been demolished and rebuilt.
And on this basis, the changes have been made, which is extremely huge.
Originally, it was mainly like an ancient city during the Byzantine Empire, but it was now full of steampunk-style artistic atmosphere... Whether from the outside or from the inside, it was the case.
From the perspective of historical development, Byzantine architectural style was developed on the basis of inheriting ancient Roman architectural culture. At the same time, due to geographical relations, it absorbed oriental cultures such as Persia, the Mesopotamia, and Syria to form its own style.
The building is characterized by the small difference in the horizontal and vertical lengths of the cross, and the intersection is a large circular dome. The dome is on a square plane, and a covering dome is built and the weight falls on four independent pillars.
The characteristic is that the overall shape is prominent. In general Byzantine buildings, the center of the architectural composition is often very prominent. The circular dome with both high and large size often becomes the composition center of the entire building.
Especially this legendary Lost City, magnificent halls, towers, temples and other buildings, all fully reflect the brilliant achievements of the artistic style of that period.
But now, this ancient city called Kit City can basically no longer see the pure Byzantine style...
Of course, it is not that it has been destroyed or something, but that it is a unique style of painting on the original basis, thus creating a more charming attraction.
While giving people the feeling that the tech tree is crooked, it also gives it a layer of strong color that seems to be mysticism-
Of course, for some "experts" and "scholars" who stand and speak without back pain, this is a kind of destruction.
Not only do we need to criticize greatly, but we must also nail those who do such things to the pillar of shame in history and become sinners of the country and nation...
Hey? Not from their own country? That doesn't matter, just let them become sinners of all mankind.
Even if China needs to develop, it will be at the cost of destroying the environment in the early stages. All ancient city ruins must give way-
"Looking out from Tiananmen Square, there should be chimneys everywhere"...
But later this decision also could not avoid the fate of being accused of destroying the environment and destroying the historical landscape of cultural relics.
So, some guys really stand and speak without a back pain, or they don’t have any brains to talk, and they don’t think about the actual situation at all. They only know to blame this and that for granted...
However, Jacob and the local residents did not know that they might be blamed. Of course, even if they knew, they would definitely not care.
Those stupid xs just say it, but they won’t lose a piece of meat just because they are told. Besides, it’s like their family is preparing to build a house. Is it just because a fool who is full of nonsense and is going to change his mind because of it?
Not to mention that this involves a large project in the entire city. If we build a house together, it is naturally even more impossible for others to stop after saying a few words.
then--
Strong tracks have been laid on the main roads in the city, stations have been set up everywhere and motorized track cars are equipped.
The air rails above the city are also being built, and it seems that it is not far from the implementation of the air train, and the entire track system is basically about to be connected.
Street lights exist at any distance along the street. The pitch-black pipes are embedded in the gaps between the stone bricks on the ground, laying like a spider web, connecting to the nearby "electric box".
Generally, a whale oil barrel automatic barrel discharger is equipped nearby, but the main gas station oil depot is built deeper underground in the form of a basement - to prevent the whale oil reserve from being detonated too easily.
In addition, there is also a wall of light that blocks the intersections. Watchtowers that have also implemented automation have risen from the ground, and together with the surrounding street lights, they use spotlights to monitor large areas...
Yes, it is almost visible to the naked eye—
Such a steampunk-style city with unlimited potential and extremely aggressive potential is losing its old outdated appearance and rejuvenating.
...
...
As the true body of the immortal prophet in the legend, Jacob's guidance is enough for those who follow him to burst out with one hundred and twenty percent of the enthusiasm and motivation.
After he explained that this was his will, this enthusiasm and motivation reached 200%.
In addition to some people who were really injured too much because of the previous wars and could not even leave the geothermal valley, even the elderly, weak, women and children were doing their best to do what they could to help young and middle-aged tribesmen provide the greatest convenience as much as possible.
And those young and middle-aged people who are the main force are even more like they are injected with chicken blood, and they want to stay awake. Under the ice layer deep in the Siberian wilderness, the "Chinese speed" of the infrastructure maniac is reproduced.
If Jacob hadn't been supervising in Kitt City and Laura and others had helped, I'd probably have a bunch of sudden deaths broke out every two days.
However, even if they burst out with such unparalleled enthusiasm for motivation, they actually don’t have much to do, or they should say they don’t have much to do. The progress of trying to transform the entire ancient city with their strength alone must be very slow.
To a large extent, they rely on the bodies of a large number of undestroyed Holy Trinity soldiers as cheap labor. They do not eat or sleep, and never get tired, just like a perpetual motion machine.
Before the mysterious power that transforms them is exhausted, or before they are wiped out again because of external forces, they are real models of labor!
Thanks to the fact that Holy Trinity formed an army, there were enough bodies left behind. After they were all awakened by someone, they provided quite sufficient excellent labor for the first phase of the construction project of the Lost City.
In addition, the third generation of clockwork machine that Jin Duoxi improved - the first one to start was the second generation, which actually replaced it with a bird head, making it look even more terrible, but in fact it doesn't change much - it's not for combat, but a type that can be put into production.
They were concentrated in large quantities, diligently consuming a lot of whale oil, and were working hard to keep running, and were also shining and heating up the first phase of the construction project in Kit City.
There is another disadvantage, that is, after running for too long, or entering high-intensity combat mode, the clockwork machine needs to stop and cool for a period of time...
Otherwise, you will see that the system that almost melts the center of their chest will glow before an explosion is about to occur.
Now this disadvantage is gone. In this ghost place where water is dripping, the two prompts of "the mailbox temperature rises" and "the core temperature is too high" have never had a chance to appear.
After all the non-combat third-generation clockwork machines were put into production, they never had the chance to stop and rest for a minute, but they were running day and night, contributing to Kit City with the efficiency of at least hundreds of people.
Even if there is a malfunction-
For those who are more serious and unable to make up for the truth.
Mo Chen would throw them back directly, and let the branch of the Clockwork Company, which has been built in the Danwall Royal City, be responsible for the maintenance, and then take out the corresponding number of intact machines from the warehouse to make up for it.
It will definitely not delay the time and efficiency of any project.
If it is a more common small accident, then you can directly follow the translated instruction manual and repair it yourself. Anyway, this is not a difficult thing...
For example, the crew of the Perseverance who had started to contact the clockwork machine earlier have basically mastered maintenance skills.
Especially Alex, Old Grelin and Jonah, they are all good players, and they have even reached the level of being able to make or even improve themselves.
After all, let alone just clockwork machines, even the technologies including other arc towers and watchtowers are just "black technology" in a sense, rather than "high technology" in a strict sense...
To be honest, they are more likely to produce strange technology at the level of civilization that is equivalent to the medieval era because of material characteristics.
For example, the clockwork warrior has its head wrapped in a wooden armor structure, the body frame includes multiple movable metal parts, and the mini whale oil barrel acts on the entire frame and is hidden under the protection of the amber wooden board...
Even robots that are still using wooden boards can really be so advanced?
Besides, there are no computers in the world over there, and there is no knowledge of programming, and there is no high-end engineering technology...
But it just mixes simple circuit boards and other strange things, and the core system created in the end can give the clockwork machine a considerable degree of intelligence and processing power.
The camera can capture images, and the carbon-key microphone can collect sound. None of these problems originally...
But the problem is that it is a machine itself, and it can actually understand what you see and hear... This is really the level of technology that can be achieved in the Middle Ages?
Therefore, the reverse engineering of clockwork technology is actually very simple. Even the remnants can use factories left by the Soviets and those stupid and black facilities... After all, strictly speaking, even with the Soviets' technical level at that time, they must be at least two eras higher than the shameful world.
It’s just that the most critical special materials are lacking, so it is impossible to copy and truly master this technology.
Although Mo Chen also transported a large amount of materials for manufacturing the core system of the clockwork, it was never a product of the current world, and he could not change such a fact.
...
...
A motorized track car drove smoothly and smoothly along the rails laid on the street, and finally stopped slowly at a station amid the roar of the engine.
A heavy armored door was opened on one side of the car, revealing the soft seat facing each other, but there was only a young and beautiful girl sitting inside.
Miss Crawford got out of the car, then reached out and rubbed the center of her eyebrows, sighed a little annoyed, and looked back at the direction she had just come, which was the center of the city.
"Laura!"
A call came from behind her, and she subconsciously turned around and happened to see Jacob climbing down from above a watchtower.
"Jacob, what are you doing?" the girl raised her eyebrows.
"Check the operation of this thing..."
Jacob went down to the ground, then reached out and patted the metal outer layer of the tower next to him.
"They fired incendiary bombs. Now that they have added additional heavy machine guns, it seems that there are always some problems in adjusting the docking of the control panel..."
The watchtower is a fixed-point building unit that rotates back and forth, using a large spotlight to monitor the entire area. It is also automated, which means that it can automatically detect and attack units without certification.
Once an enemy enters its search area, the lights of the watchtower will turn red to remind nearby friendly forces and automatically attack the target.
——As long as an enemy is detected, the attack range of the watchtower will expand to extremely far places.
