Although the entire metal fortress was filled with the sound of gears operating, no one felt a trace of excitement or noise. Instead, they felt it was eerily quiet. Apart from the sound of gears, there was no other sound. It was like a silent dead city.
There is not a trace of life in it.
Looking around, there is nothing but metal buildings and gears...
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and almost all metal building surfaces are covered with heavy dust, but no building has weathered or collapsed. From this point of view, the dwarves have been working on metal refining tens of thousands of years ago.
, which is far beyond that of today’s humans.
Not to mention the human blacksmiths from thousands of years ago, even today's craftsmen may not be able to refine this immortal alloy.
The Immortal City is too big to be explored in a short while. After everyone gathered together and carefully explored for an hour, they found that it had really become a dead city, with no life left at all.
The machinery is just running in a cycle and does not require human control.
To everyone's disappointment, except for some special alloys found in a small iron house, they have not found any valuable items yet.
Although there are mechanical buildings worth studying all over the Steel Fortress, they are not craftsmen and know nothing about mechanical crafts. Second, those mechanical buildings are too huge and cannot be collected at all, let alone taken away.
Therefore, although those machines that operate forever are precious, to them, they are just a huge lump of steel and have no practical significance.
"Let's explore separately. This should be more efficient than now. Anyway, this place has become a dead city. There is no danger. If we find any special place, how about we discuss it after gathering together?" Lilivi
suggested.
"This is a home built by dwarves. They should not install crisis mechanisms in their homes." Duanya agreed. The efficiency of gathering together to explore is really low. It is not about how long it will take to complete the exploration.
Zheng Feng nodded, then pointed to the high tower in the middle of the Eternal City and said: "Then, after we separate, we will use the high tower as the gathering place. No matter whether we find anything or not, we must finally gather under that high tower."
That high tower is the tallest building in the Eternal City. It stands out among all the buildings. It goes straight to the top of the cave and is close to a hundred meters in height. It is so majestic that as long as people look up in the Eternal City, they will definitely be able to see it.
A tall tower is indeed the best choice as a gathering place.
Even if you want to explore separately, you should do it in groups, because the risk of acting alone is too high, and you may not be able to react in time if an accident occurs, so you must work in groups of at least two.
As soon as she heard that they were going to be divided into groups, Alice said she would not be separated from Zheng Feng, but Lin Tianxue forced herself in with the reason of being uneasy. Of course, Tianyu followed her sister, so the list of the first group was determined at once.
The second group is Du Ya and Fu Yanjie; the third group is Murong Ya, Gu Yue and Liliwei.
In this way, at least one person in each group has a space ring. If they find any useful items, they can collect them and finally hand them over to Mumu to judge their value.
...
Alice was very active in the Eternal City and had a strong interest in everything. When she saw any strange mechanical buildings, she would always run up and touch them, giving Zheng Feng a headache, for fear that this little
The girl will touch something she shouldn't touch.
However, thanks to Alice's presence, there were many small iron houses that were only 1.34 meters tall. Zheng Feng and the others could not enter them at all, but Alice could easily climb in and throw out all the items inside for Tianyu and the others to sort through.
.
"Brother, what is that?" Alice asked, pointing to a square 'big iron box'.
The 'iron box' is about three meters wide and over six meters long. It is pitch black and looks toothless. It has four glass windows on each side. After Zheng Feng and the others wiped off the dust on the glass, they could see
The scene inside is a row of neat seats. At the four corners below the 'iron box', there are four large wheels. The wheels are convex on both sides and concave in the middle. They are stuck on two steel rails on the ground, and
There is also a thin metal wire hanging from the top, connecting the iron box and the cable above.
"A carriage carriage, right?" Zheng Feng was equally unsure, but looking at the outside and inside of the iron box, it did look a bit like a carriage lacking horses.
But he also doubted that there would be creatures like horses hundreds of meters deep underground. If there were no horses, what would be the use of building such an iron carriage?
"Alice has never been in a carriage before?"
Alice's big eyes twinkled. She had grown up in Yeluo City since she was a child. Not to mention leaving Yeluo City, she had not even left the Cathedral of Light. Naturally, she rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with carriages.
She ran to the iron box, pushed hard with both hands, and opened the door. She made a "squeak!" sound and jumped up and down in the carriage. She was extremely curious.
"Alice, be careful, don't touch the things above, it will be very dangerous." Tianyu also followed quickly, fearing that something would happen to the little girl.
"Sister Tianyu, don't worry. This carriage has no horses. How can it move? It's okay." Alice said nonchalantly. After a while, she ran to the end of the iron box and saw several slightly raised boxes below.
Out of curiosity, she put her little feet on the footprints. Who knew that the raised footprints would sink as soon as she stepped on them.
Boom boom... boom boom... The iron box trembled slightly, which made Zheng Feng and Lin Tianxue who were still outside worried. Before they could rescue the two of them, the iron box actually started running, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
He immediately threw them away.
"Chase!" Zheng Feng shouted angrily, waking up Lin Tianxue who was still in a daze, then mounted his teeth and chased the iron box.
Lin Tianxue also hurriedly rode on Lieyan and chased after him, cursing: "Damn it, isn't this piece of iron a dead thing? Is it still alive? Hurry up and spit out Tianyu and Alice, or I'll chop your head off——!!
!”
The big iron box only trembled for a while when it was first started, but it soon stabilized. Tianyu held his seat and looked through the glass window in confusion as the scene outside kept changing. And the little girl Alice,
Not only was there no fear, but it was actually very interesting, and the little feet had no intention of letting go.
Tianyu came back to his senses and immediately discovered the culprit of this 'surprise'. He hugged the little girl up and said angrily: "Alice, stop making trouble, otherwise my sister and Brother Feng will be very worried.
Ours!"
After Alice's little feet were released, the metal footprint slowly rose again, and the speed of the iron box became slower and slower, gradually being caught up by the teeth.
But Zheng Feng didn't dare to attack at will, for fear of causing harm to the two people inside the iron box, but fortunately, the iron box finally gradually stopped, making him relieved.
After Tianyu jumped out of the iron box with Alice in his arms, the little girl saw Zheng Feng and Lin Tianxue chasing behind her, and realized that she seemed to have gotten into trouble. She lowered her head and said, "Brother, I'm sorry..."
Zheng Feng originally wanted to complain angrily, but when he saw the little girl's aggrieved look, he just let it go. It was just fine, and he didn't bother to worry about anything else.
"What happened just now?" Lin Tianxue asked. If the iron lump hadn't stopped slowly later, they didn't know how long it would have taken them to catch up.
Tianyu said helplessly: "It seems that Alice made it move, but it is not dangerous. I think it is a tool of the dwarves."
Zheng Feng was also a little curious about this iron lump. As a result, the four of them climbed up together this time. Alice took everyone to the protruding position of the footprints, pointed at it, and said happily: "Alice just put the little feet on it, and the iron box
It started moving.”
Everyone found that the protruding footprints were a bit low for them and the size was inappropriate. Their feet were too big, but the little girl's feet were just right.
There were three metal footprints in total. After a while of research, everyone finally figured out the use of this steel box...
