[Steam City]
Also known as the "Heart of the Sacred City", it was an embedded city.
As everyone knew, the Sacred City was a gigantic city in the form of a spire. The Sacred City (the surface) was divided into four levels by the Stairway of the Gods:
The first level was the outer ring of the city wall, the civilian area.
The second level was the inner ring (200 meters above sea level), which included the National Royal Knight Academy, the commercial and trade area, the noble residential area, small and medium-sized associations, and so on.
The third level was the core (500 meters above sea level), which included the royal family, the Vatican, the headquarters of the various knight orders, large associations, and so on.
The fourth level was the top (1000 meters above sea level), where the Supreme Council was located.
The so-called [Steam City] was embedded in the inner layer of this spire city.
Year 103 of the Evernight Era.
Kitto Leslie, the first chief engineer of the construction of the Holy City and the head of the Knights of Steam, and a total of 219 construction engineers under his command, came up with an internal expansion project of the Holy City called "Heart of Eternity."
It was an attempt to use the power obtained from the Realm of Destiny and the steam technology currently mastered.
In the inner mountain area of the second and third level of the Sacred City, an embedded super-giant steam power core would be built, which could solve the energy supply problem of the Sacred City.
When the plan was submitted to the council.
High ranking councilor Valentine Z. Green, Examiner Washington Kleffman, and Brewster Lightligoff, the head of the Executive Yuan, agreed to the expansion project and proposed to deepen the renovation of the expansion project.
They had a long-term vision.
Since they wanted to expand the interior of the spire, instead of building a super-giant energy supply center, it was better to build an embedded city.
While satisfying the energy supply of the Sacred City, they could also build a secret base specializing in steam technology development, allowing science and fate to develop together.
Just like that, after eight years of revision, the final plan was built.
At the same time, all the members of the Steam Knights were required to live in it.
At the same time, talents proficient in machinery were recruited from the Sacred City, including the civilian area, and invested in the construction of the Steam City.
Even now, the special development path of "mechanical apprentice" was still maintained. As long as the apprentices passed the annual examination, they could not participate in the selection of fate and devote themselves to the research of steam technology.
Of course, confident young people could also participate in the selection of fate and major in machinery at the Knight Academy.
There were secret entrances on the second and third levels of the Holy City.
Because the Steam City was related to the core technology of the Sacred City, as well as the top secret of the Great Expedition, the identity check of those who entered was very strict. It was required to prevent the introduction of pollution.
Even an official knight would need an invitation to enter.
…
Craftsmen's District.
In the deepest part of a certain machinery factory.
Inside a giant steam train manufacturing workshop, there was a stone wall close to the mountain.
However, this place was filled with semi-mechanized or fully mechanized security personnel, as well as densely packed monitoring facilities.
The word "Enter" was engraved on the wall.
"Please show me your valid ID and explain why you are going to the Steam City."
Charlie handed over the three knights' medals and explained his purpose in a domineering voice.
"My friend, 'Franky Kander,' hopes that I can help him deal with the problem of highly intelligent humanoid machines … At the same time, my adoptive father, Lindberg, wants me to pass a message to Deputy Director Lu Lifu of the Steam Association.
These two are my helpers. They will be working with me the whole time. "
"Verifying, please wait a moment …"
About a minute passed.
The robot consular officer in front of them smiled and handed back the knights' medals. At the same time, he gave them a temporary collective pass to ensure that the three of them were together at all times.
The guards in the Steam City would check the identities of outsiders at any time. If they couldn't show the pass, they would be immediately expelled.
Next, a series of full-body tests would be carried out to ensure that the intruders didn't carry any pollutants.
Rumble! Riding on a horizontal moving machine, they moved about 200 meters through the mountain full of metal frames and steam pipes.
A pure bronze door embedded with gears appeared in front of them.
The gears of various sizes faintly outlined the image of a fat "Investor" on the door.
Identity verification passed.
The huge bronze door opened by itself.
A Steam City that transcended eras appeared in front of Han Dong.
This embedded city represented the highest point of the human race's technology tree in the current world. Without the use of electricity, the city achieved artificial intelligence and efficient energy utilization through steam technology.
After all the apprentice knights and knights passed the destiny space, the pure bronze they brought out would be transported here after handing it in.
The heavy metal smell was immediately inhaled into Han Dong's nose.
However, Han Dong's attention was completely attracted by this beautiful Steam City. To some extent, it completely overturned his view of the Sacred City's technology.
At first, Han Dong thought that when the end of the world came, humans relied on the destiny space to survive and technology would stagnate.
However, it turned out that no matter what kind of world it was, researchers would always exist and would be an important pillar to promote human development.
"Oh my god! Is this the driving heart of the Sacred City? "
Han Dong stood on the outermost metal aisle and looked down at this unparalleled metal city. He was stunned for a full five minutes.
Between the spacious buildings, in addition to using railways and steam locomotives as transportation vehicles, there was also a super-efficient aerial vehicle, the Rusty Whale.
It was an all-metal powered airship that imitated the shape of a whale.
According to its size and purpose, there were differences between carrying people and cargo.
The most eye-catching was the Main District of the Steam City, which was only occupied by a super-large building.
The Heart of Eternity.
The Holy City's Power Source- "The Column-Of Steam"
The super-large cylindrical tower building had thousands of pipeline branches at the bottom, which were closely connected to the various buildings in the Steam City. Like the roots of a tree, they drew a steady stream of energy from other buildings.
The top of the tower reached the highest point of the inner cave. If it continued to go up, it would cross the surface and reach the council area.
Rumor had it that at the top of the Pillar of Steam, there was the [Sugar Daddy's Treasure Vault].
There were mountains of gold and silver inside, and all the valuable treasures were stored inside. It was a big bed for the patron to sleep on.
"This is the Steam City. The Sacred City's engineers spent nearly a hundred years building and perfecting this masterpiece. The machinery manufacturing and research that is being carried out here will become an indispensable part of the Great Expedition."
