This is a country with a large scope and a high degree of mechanization.
Yes, he wanted to use 'kingdom' to describe this place.
The huge difference engine and analytical engine control a large number of steam servants and dominate everything in the country.
A large amount of materials can be produced without much manpower.
It can be said that this is a perfect post-disaster country that is completely self-sufficient.
He walked through greenhouses growing various fungi, through steam factories full of mystery and punk style, and through the underground castles of the real big shots...
No one came to stop him.
In other words, those big shots did not discover the truth about the spread of the 'dust disease', or actively or passively knew the contents. After being infected, they have died one after another.
The core area did not seem to have thought that one day, all the members would die violently, but there would be no enemies. It would still follow the rules of the past and operate mechanically.
Without any doubt, Dun Jun first raided the libraries of each member of Congress.
"It turns out... the entire underground world has entered a highly steam-intelligent society?"
"The huge difference engine 'Hope' and the analysis engine 'Dawn' dominate everything underground and provide all kinds of information support to the speaker..."
"The steam-powered core furnace is a magical item with extraordinary power, named 'Monster'! It can burn continuously. Extraordinary monsters are the best fuel. In addition, human corpses, coal, debris...
...The effects gradually decay... It seems that to maintain its extraordinary effect, order and the pain of large population gatherings are needed... Therefore, the City of Steam retains the existence of the Lower City?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Dunjun's face: "In other words, the Congress clearly has the ability to make everyone live a better life, but it deliberately exploits workers with cruel working hours and heavy work...even if they die
All the corpses will be transported and burned together? Sure enough, every drop of blood and oil has been squeezed out..."
He threw down a manuscript he had obtained from the Speaker's study, but a look of confusion appeared on his face: "This Speaker, he doesn't know as much information about the catastrophe as I do... He only vaguely knows that in the Monster Forge
, may have some secrets...but the prerequisite is to extinguish it..."
Dunjun walked out of the study.
With the blessing of the God of Immortality and his own extraordinary abilities, some underground traps and extraordinary curses had no impact on him.
Moreover, he is already in a semi-crazy state.
If the furnace is extinguished, the entire Steam City may be destroyed.
But in order to complete the task assigned to him by the gods, he was still determined to do so.
Maybe, this is half crazy.
Calm on the surface, but crazy hidden inside!
Dunjun pursed his lips, walked through a pile of ashes, roasted a few mushrooms for dinner, and immediately started heading to the core area, where the steam furnace was located.
At this moment, a low murmur seemed to ring in his ears again.
This made him feel better, as if the immortal god was always watching him, making him feel extremely happy and satisfied.
Under the gaze of the gods, he passed through the passage equipped with extraordinary traps and arrived at the center of the core area.
When you come to the edge of a cliff and look down, you can see a huge steam-powered furnace.
It is huge and is the heart of the entire Steam City.
Even now, it is still burning, swallowing the coal transported by the conveyor belt, and the corpse... is emitting a scorching temperature.
The heat wave rolled in, and Dunjun felt that his hair was curling and burning.
He tried his best to keep his eyes open and looked in the direction of the furnace: "It's huge and the temperature is extremely high... It is indeed a strange object... But for the sake of my master's mission, you'd better put it out!"
The "monster" furnace at the core of the operation is extinguished, which requires a series of complicated procedures.
At present, Dunjun does not have the authority to command the two difference engines and analysis engines.
Therefore, he chose the most direct method.
Boom! Boom!
Following several loud noises, the tracks that originally transported the 'fuel' broke apart, and countless black coals fell into the abyss.
After losing its fuel, the monster furnace is still burning brightly.
After all, it has accumulated terrifying energy before.
Dunjun remained silent and chose to wait.
One red moon, two red moons... After an unknown amount of time passed, the crimson light of the furnace gradually became dim.
The bright red color on its surface disappeared, turning into a dark brown color, and some weird patterns were revealed.
"It seems to be the writing of prehistoric civilization... It's a pity that I can't understand it... I was able to understand those strange pronunciations directly in the spacecraft because Smith gave me the blessing of the gods..."
At this moment, Dunjun's ears seemed to hear the whispers of gods.
He felt that those patterns suddenly became understandable again.
The simple words seem to be struggling and beating... trying to overflow all the filth and evil they contain.
'Long sleep...death...heat...extinguished...'
Dun Jun identified them one by one, and finally combined them into one sentence: "The person who sleeps in the belly of the monster is not the deceased. Even death will be burned in the blazing fire..."
"What do you mean? Are you saying...are there any living things in the furnace?"
Dunjun thinks it's impossible.
In the monster furnace, extremely high temperatures are maintained at all times. Even extraordinary people cannot sustain it for long, and their mysterious power will be quickly exhausted.
Is there anything that can stay in the belly of the furnace forever, and even the ever-burning flame can become the source of its resurrection?
Click!
On the surface of the furnace, cracks appeared.
This ancient antique finally seemed to be destroyed due to its age.
Part of its fireplace shattered, revealing the vast space inside.
Ashes, lots of ashes...
Above the ashes, there are still unburned coals, as well as the corpses of some monsters and humans.
Crunch, crunch!
The tooth-aching sound of chewing came from the stove.
Dunjun saw a figure.
It was a naked man with all his hair and eyebrows burned off.
He seemed to have been sitting in the furnace, sitting on the many burning coals, calmly putting a section of the monster's corpse into his mouth.
Along with the devouring, traces of flames burned around his body.
"This is the truth about the Strange Objects Furnace... In fact, this was just an ordinary old giant steam engine, but it gained mysterious power because it became a 'grave' or 'canteen' for a certain creature..."
"No, this mysterious creature may have died long ago, and its ashes are in this mechanical furnace... However, after it was discovered, the long-lasting flame awakened it again... It swallowed the monster and released the mysterious flame...
…Wait a minute, this face!”
Dun Jun saw the face clearly and immediately took a few steps back.
The man who eats monsters has the same face as the Federation President Fang Xian whom we saw in the spaceship before!
