Looking around in the car, Soshiyang's vision was very wide, and he could clearly see layers of engine factories, forging plants, docks, ore smelters and assembly workshops extending from the ground to the top of the extinct volcano. The spires and chimneys were close to the mountain like moss. These factories were working day and night.
Millions of servants went to the sultry and dark places in the factory and were covered in oil, all working for one will and one goal.
Titan Foundry in Ulanhuda.
Those who are lucky enough to serve the Titan factory live in simple houses that stretch hundreds of miles eastward, which have blended with the undulating landscape of the canyon. Layers of smoke shrouded over the chaotic workers' area, with chaotic buildings and foundries piled up with mountains of waste.
Outside the Titan Foundry, thousands of years of development left scars on the earth, and Soshiyan could even see the heat fog released by the reactors in the southeast.
To the north of the Titan Foundry is a huge fortress-like building, which is the headquarters of the Phantom Legion. Their home is built at the bottom of the gloomy and gray mountain, just like the appearance of those Titan gods.
Soon, the train arrived at the station. When Soshiyan and others got off the train, other entourages also got off from the other cars and quickly gathered to the five people, while the people in charge of the Titan Foundry were already waiting here.
"Welcome, the Great Sage of Bangula and the Commander of Soshyan to visit the foundry."
The person in charge of the Titan Foundry was the Sage Theodore Rossi, who was also a witness to the coup in the Temple of All Machines, so he was extremely respectful to Bangula.
His fat body is surrounded by cold air produced by layers of fabrics, which cool networks remove the heat generated by most of his body's gears.
Compared with Bangula, the sage's transformation is very consistent with the characteristics of a typical mechanical believer. The head is a rectangular gold helmet with many lenses installed on it. A bunch of cables are exposed under the robe like black tentacles. The outside is a concave metal plate, and a luminous data cable is flowing on it.
"You're welcome, I'm just here to check it out."
Soshiyang smiled and greeted everyone at the Titan Foundry, and then began to visit the inside of the foundry.
First is the huge cast furnace complex, which occupies the southern side of the foundry, as grand as a real volcano.
The cast furnace composite is one of the core facilities of the Titan Foundry. Its function is to cast large components on the Titan as a whole, such as shoulder armor, leg armor, etc. These components have high requirements for strength, so they must be formed in one piece, which has strict requirements on the size of the cast furnace.
This loud casting furnace has a series of carefully designed sluice gates, overflow channels and pressure doors. Take the elevator to the height of the casting furnace. When the gate is opened, Soshiyang will see the molten metal flowing downward along the huge cracks a hundred meters wide on both sides to form a huge artificially built lagoon, full of scorching and bubbling hot metal.
The huge machine trembled and roared, and the crane lifted the cast barrel full of molten iron and poured it down into the mold.
In such a hot environment, normal people will sweat like rain after just a few seconds, but the servants unknowingly repeat the fixed work, as if the high temperatures do not exist. The dirty water droplets leaked from the pipes emitted a burst of steam on the burning machine, mixing in the smoke in the hall, and the smell of rust is everywhere.
During this period, the servants will lose control or stop working due to overheating. Only then will the responsible technician appear and take it away and destroy it or repair it.
When he raised his head, Soshiyan noticed that each of the chains hanging from above was thicker than his entire body, and that the magnificent crane at the end of the chain, even in the narrowest places, could allow several Riemanuruses to pass in parallel.
Being in it, Soshiyan can feel the shock and oppression brought by huge machinery and steel creations. No wonder humans worship a god of machinery.
Because these are living miracles, which have surpassed the limits that a knowledge-poor brain can imagine.
Even if it is him, standing here will be awe of his own insignificance.
After watching the casting furnace, Soshiyan headed to the next place, which is also one of the core of the Titan Foundry.
Assembly workshop.
As soon as you enter the workshop with a height of more than 100 meters, the sound of laser cutting machines and ion incinerators is not overwhelming. The stamping machine stumbling and repeats the same work. The crane constantly moves steel of different specifications back and forth. The roaring machine constantly rolls dust into the air. Many parts are formed and combined here.
Generally speaking, even the smallest Titan has millions of parts on it, and many of them are consumables. The previous two actions have already caused huge losses, and they are extremely busy at this time.
When Soshiyan heard the person in charge that the Titan had to replace tens of thousands of parts in one operation. If the battle was fierce, one-third of the parts might even be replaced. I couldn't help but sigh at the delicateness of these god machinery, which can only be afforded by casting the world.
Afterwards, the team came to a spotless hall. When Soshiyang and others entered, they had several rounds of rinsing and disinfecting to ensure that their armor did not bring in a little dust.
As soon as he entered, Soshiyan saw many people wearing breathing masks walking back and forth.
There are no servants or workers here, all of them are mid-level and above technicians.
There are some unformed high platforms on both sides of the hall. One of them has been basically formed. A man is tied firmly to the machine. He is about 30 years old. His facial features are delicate and his scalp is very clean. He has tubes inserted all over his body, but he is healthy and peaceful.
With his eyes closed, he seemed to just fall asleep, but judging from the cannula implanted on his arm, Soshiyang suspected that he did not fall asleep naturally.
At the same time, there was a brass sound selector hanging under his mouth, and bundles of wires were connected from the equipment to various recording equipment.
“These are….”
"The core of Titan is the mechanical throne, which is related to the sensitivity of the technician when controlling the magic machine. Therefore, it must be strictly inspected when leaving the factory, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Because it is too precise, many steps require manual installation and repeated inspection, and the output is very limited."
"I see."
Soshiyang, wearing a helmet, nodded and asked.
"How do ordinary Titan pilots come into being?"
Bangula immediately replied:
“The recruitment and training of Titan technicians is under the responsibility of the Titan Council.”
He paused, realizing that the Space Marines might not understand the structure of the Titans, so he introduced it in detail:
"The Titan Society of Ulanhuda consists of three parts, namely the Titan Academy, the War Situation Room and the Armory. The Titan Academy is used to recruit potential Titan pilots and professional crew members who assist Titan technicians. After being recruited, they will study there for 20-30 years and will only be qualified to become a reserve pilot after rigorous examinations. The War Situation Room is a department that provides corresponding tactical analysis and intelligence instructions for legion operations. The Armory is responsible for the maintenance, transportation and configuration of Titans. There are many branches and small institutions under the three major institutions, which are generally independent of each other and do not govern each other, and only accept the final instructions of the foundry director."
