Chapter 144: Universal City
"What did you remember?"
Seeing her solemn expression, Chen Shi couldn't help asking.
"I used to read the library records. Hundreds of years ago, when the defense city was just established, I encountered a 'different spirit', which almost destroyed a defense city."
Xingdian recalled: "The 'radiant spirit' did not alarm any defense, but dug a hole and climbed over the front wall and entered the defensive city directly, which caused people to be caught off guard... Afterwards, each defensive city built a stronger underground defense system to prevent such accidents. But in hundreds of years since then, I have never encountered a 'radiant spirit' that can dig a hole again."
Chen Shi's eyes twitched when he heard this: "Wait, then another 'radiant spirit' came in?
"If it wants to dig a hole in the defense city, it is impossible. It will definitely alarm the underground defense system. What I am afraid of is..."
Xingdian's lips trembled, and Chen Shi already understood its thoughts, "You mean, maybe it's dug through the urban defense circle?"
Xingdian nodded silently.
Chen Shi also felt that it was not good, "If this is the case, I'm afraid you should come up with measures quickly, or find the hole to block it as quickly as possible, otherwise..."
The current "superior spirits" are just a number of threats. Once the more threatening "superior spirits" are allowed to rush in, the urban defense circle will be immediately destroyed.
Moreover, Chen Shi believes that Xingdian and others are used to fighting the "superior spirits" head-on, and they may not have much experience to cope with the situation of being attacked from both sides.
The steam locomotive is still driving towards its destination, and is supported by the world city, and the situation is effectively controlled. This is not to kill the "hyenas", but to understand the "hyenas" on the surface of the locomotive, and then to control the spreading threat.
But this is only a temporary situation. With the firepower of the iron-armored ships in the sky and more than a dozen human-shaped mechanically powered armors, it can only be temporarily blocked. If you want to eliminate the boundless and growing "hyenas" group, it is probably difficult to increase the firepower by ten times.
"Crack..."
The closer you get to the back wall of the Universe City, the more you can feel it is magnificent. When the steam locomotive enters the city, it is like an ant standing at the feet of a giant, so inconspicuous and insignificant, showing humility and insignificance.
Just when the steam locomotive arrived, a heavy steel-cast heavy pressure door slowly lifted at the end of the rails in front, but it was not just one, but ten steel-cast heavy pressure doors. The steam locomotive finally stopped and reached the end by passing through layer after layer of partitions.
Xingdian was very anxious and signaled Chen Shi to wait on the steam locomotive, but he got off first.
With the open window, Chen Shi looked out the car. First of all, they were in the location inside the Universal City, but they had not really entered the city. Instead, they were on the vast platform parked by the steam locomotive, the wide lifting device, thick other rails side by side, and several other steam locomotives.
However, none of these really attracted his attention. On the platform, there were already neatly arranged soldiers waiting. The soldiers were not dressed in armor and gas masks like Star Han, but were wearing black military uniforms, military helmets, and a red scarf around their arms. They were holding steam rifles seriously and powerfully.
The seven or eight people in the head should be the governors of the Universe City. When they saw Xingdian walking out, they stepped forward to greet and welcome them. After a while of greeting, they took Xingdian away.
"The ruling urges you to follow me and not go around."
Su, who looked tired, walked in. Although the "hyenas" could not threaten the human-shaped mechanical and powered armor in the air, he was exhausted when he killed and blocked them all the way.
"Don't worry, I don't dare to walk around here."
When he met Chen, he was very cooperative, and Su was the one who was weiwei's head.
Chen Shi himself dressed very differently from the people here. If he walked around, he would definitely become the focus of his attention. He had no idea of committing suicide.
When Su Ji took Chen Shi off the car, there were naturally people from Huanyu City leading the soldiers to rest. Su Ji was a senior officer of Xinghan after all, and the place where he stayed was different from that of ordinary soldiers.
Walking out of the platform, Chen Shi looked around curiously. The soldiers in the surrounding cities were obviously a little curious about his different outfits from 1214-b01, but the strict discipline did not make them ask too much, and even their eyes remained straight and had not moved.
"Is this...the elevator?"
Unlike modern urban sealed elevators, the elevator here may be described as a lift to be appropriate. Step in, but there are no sealed glass or iron doors, but two railings at the waist, which is considered a simple safety measure.
The elevator slowly rose upwards, quickly left the dock and entered another square with a large range. Chen Shi looked down and was surprised to see that the square was filled with huge wooden boxes that could not be calculated by the naked eye. It was neatly illusioned with the illusion of "encompassing". Many staff from the world city were counting and carrying wooden boxes.
Su Ji stood beside Chen Shi, and seemed to be able to detect Chen Shi's doubts and whispered: "That is the warehouse where goods are piled up in the Huanyu City. Goods from the other 16 cities are usually unloaded on the platform, and then temporarily placed here for inventory and then transported to various parts of the city."
Even if a city that can accommodate a population of one million is placed on the modern earth, it is a second-tier or third-tier city. The daily supplies required must be amazing. No wonder there is so much material accumulation.
However, what surprised Chen Shi the most was definitely not just a warehouse. As he passed through several other functional areas, the elevator speed increased a lot. When the eyes really lit up, he was shocked.
At the beginning, he believed that with Xingdian's technological level and the largest level at the beginning of the 20th century, the cities they built must be less wise.
However, on the contrary, when the true face of the universe unfolded in his sight, he realized that he was wrong. The architectural level of the Xingdian and their civilization was quite high.
The elevator is already at a high altitude. What Chen Shi saw were all buildings of hundreds of meters in size. The density of the buildings was still above New York, Tokyo and other places in humans. It was just different from the "glass"-style full-structure buildings of humans. The buildings here were made of metal machinery, with a unique mechanical beauty, both shocking in appearance and exquisite and delicate in details, not just huge and rough.
