Stepping on the land of the empire, the crowds of people in front of the airport, and the noisy sounds made Cassia and Delya feel at ease.
She booked a ferry ticket to Manoma three days later, but Delya didn't understand it. Cassia just smiled and did not respond directly.
"You are free for three days. You can wander around. The air here is different from that of Brino. It no longer carries the lingering smell of gunpowder smoke. The laws of the empire must have a restrictive effect. You can get used to it first.
." After hastily saying this, Cassia left the place and time of the meeting, and left Delya alone. Thinking of something important, she got into a limo and went to another part of the city. Delya watched the limo drive away, then turned and disappeared under the silhouette of the building. She stood there and didn't know how to express her feelings. Such an attitude would result in someone being kicked out of her team. She thought helplessly, looking around
All around, there are rhombus-shaped high-rise buildings on the left side, occupying a vast area. In front is a square with a steel frame and colorful advertisements - discounts on goods and half-price clothes.
She didn't hesitate and walked over.
Cassia was not familiar with the city, so she bought a cheap travel guide at the airport. The color pages were mixed and unevenly typed. Various attractions and places worth visiting were marked, with the key points highlighted in bold, but
At a glance, you can tell that they are paid to list things and have no reference value.
"Please go to the nearest large library here, preferably the national one." Cassia informed the driver of the location and let out a breath while looking at the flowing scenery outside.
The driver nodded "Yeah", the control was precise, and the speed quickly increased. The city began to be reflected in Cassia's head through his eyes, but nothing was recorded. When the limo stopped on the side of the road, there was someone standing next to it.
It is a magnificent library, and Cassia has not yet felt the flow of time.
The buildings belonging to the empire are fully funded. While regional managers misappropriate funds for their own personal use, they also do not forget to do what they should do. Cassia feels that this can be regarded as their consciousness. The Pyramid of the Empire
In the structure, there are too many people in the same class. With a huge population base and an assembly-line production model, many positions are not irreplaceable. They are afraid because they are absolutely replaceable. As long as there is a slight mistake, the empire's
The solution is not to repair, but to directly replace it with a new one because the reserves are sufficient.
In addition, the aristocratic-bound class penetrates deep into the core of the empire. Those who have finally climbed up from the bottom through various means are even more afraid to be careless and cautious in doing things. This mentality accounts for a large part of the ability to prop up a corrupt empire.
A share of credit.
Walking in with emotion, the silence inside completely meets the standards of a library. But it doesn't mean that everyone inside is quiet, but there are not many people inside at all. There are only a few that catch the eye, like a dinner plate licked by a dog, shining brightly
Bright.
To the right of the door is a row of tables and chairs for reading. They are arranged neatly as if they were glued on them. They are very clean and there is no obvious dust.
The service desk is on the left. It is a long row and can accommodate many people at the same time. When it was originally designed, it may have been that as a national library, there should be many people coming and going. However, the actual result did not meet the designer's original intention. p>
There are several pens neatly placed on the service desk, and next to them are a pile of books.
"Illustrated Book of Paleontology", "History of Biological Evolution", "From Fossils to Ore",,,, etc. There is a buried head behind the books, with hair tied into a single ponytail, using a rainbow-colored rubber band.
It can be seen that the tender back of the neck is exposed, with a few strands of hair not tied up properly and falling on it.
Judging from the clothes she was wearing, she must be a staff member here. But for some reason, she was the only one here, holding a book and reading, completely immersed in the dense small words on it.
After thinking for a while, Cassia knocked on the counter.
The head paused for a moment, then raised its head and looked at Cassia mechanically. She had a not very pretty face and wore glasses, very cheap ones. These were the ones Cassia and Ye Jielin usually wore.
Glasses make a comparison.
"How are you?" I don't know why the girl's tone is a question. There is really no one here.
"Hello." Cassia replied, making a few strokes on his hand, "Go in and look for some information. Can you borrow the difference engine here? It may be used to connect to the city's main analysis machine." Cassia explained. p>
"Okay, okay." The girl looked young and was still in school, maybe about the same age as herself. She explained to Cassia and pointed to the side, "It's right there. If you need to find a book, just check the index. There are still questions.
, you can also ask me directly."
Cassia nodded and thanked her, and walked over, her footsteps making no sound. The girl buried her head again, only the fonts in her eyes, and was unaware of these details. Just thinking of something, she suddenly turned her head and looked over, and saw Kasia
West Asia walked towards the inquiry difference engine step by step, as if to confirm that there was indeed a living person in this deserted library at this moment.
Of course, she felt the girl's undisguised gaze. Cassia ignored it and walked to the difference engine. There was a typewriter keyboard for inputting text, and then entered the name of the place she was about to query according to the reading and writing method. The first generation of Knight King
The name of the place that Grote once told him was the place where the second-generation Holy Sword was buried.
In the military school, the information there can be retrieved and viewed by interested people. After Cassia failed to find the exact location through books and maps, he decided to go to libraries in other cities when the task was convenient.
, to find geographical locations whose original names have been submerged due to history.
Relying only on the memory bank and calculation carry mechanism of the difference engine, the amount of storage is less than one ten thousandth that an ordinary person can read in a lifetime. With the convenient retrieval method, you can search for what you want in the memory bank.
Things are very easy. All you have to pay is the time waiting for calculation and processing.
After about ten seconds, something appeared in front of me. It was a panel, something like a sandbox. Using the magnetic force generated by the current and the dyed fine iron powder, coupled with the calculation of the difference machine, the result was converted into a simple picture.
Easy-to-understand images are presented to searchers.
The font above is in red, followed by exclamation - no relevant information found!
Cassia's body visibly shook, with surprise and confusion on her face. This is not the result that should occur. Try entering the same place name for the second time, then press the OK button, and wait for more than ten seconds for processing.
.The iron powder on the panel was pushed down, and the second search results were quickly displayed, still with bright red fonts.
