Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Heart of the Holy City
[Steam City]
Also known as the “Heart of the Holy City,” it is an embedded city.
As we all know, the Holy City is a ‘tower-like’ super-city-state, divided into four layers from bottom to top through the “god’s ladder”:
The first layer – Outside of the city wall layer, the civilian area.
The second layer – Inner layer (altitude 200 ters), Includes the National Royal Academy of Knights, comrcial trade zones, noble residential areas, dium and small associations, etc.
The third layer – Core layer (altitude 500 ters), includes the Royal Family, the Church, the headquarters of various Knight Regints, large associations, etc.
The fourth layer – The top layer (altitude 1000 ters), the Supre Council area.
The so-called [Steam City] is embedded inside this tower-style city.
In the year 103 of the Eternal Night Epoch.
The first generation of Holy City’s chief engineer and the Steam Knights Captain- Kito. Leslie, in conjunction with a total of 219 architects under him, proposed an internal expansion of the Holy City called the “Heart of Eternity”.
Attempting to use the power obtained from the Fate Space and the steam technology currently mastered.
Inside the mountainous areas of the second and third layers of the Holy City, they aim to create a giant super embedded steam power core, which can solve the city’s energy supply problem.
When this plan was submitted to the council.
Senior council mber Valen. Z. Green, Inspector Washington. Clifman, and Executive Chairman Bruster. Lightligof approved the expansion project and proposed a deeper modification.
Their vision is more long-term.
If the interior of the tower is to be expanded, instead of building a superpower energy supply center, why not create an embedded city.
While eting the energy supply of the whole Holy City, they would also build a secret base dedicated to the developnt of steam technology, allowing science and fate to develop together.
After eight years of plan revision.
The construction plan of the Steam City was finalized. The entire Steam Knight Regint was required to settle in.
At the sa ti, they recruited chanical talents from all over the Holy City, including the civilian areas, to participate in the construction of Steam City.
Even now, the special developnt path of “chanic Apprentice” is still preserved. Any apprentice who ets the standard in the annual examinations can fully devote oneself to the research of steam science without participating in the fate selection.
Of course, confident young people can also participate in the Fate selection and major in machinery at the Knight Academy.
[Steam City] has hidden entrances on the second and third floors of the Holy City.
Since Steam City involves the core technology of Holy City and the highest secrets of the Big Expedition, the identity review of the entrants is very strict, requiring 100% avoidance of contamination.
Even formal Knights need an invitation to enter.
…
Artisan District.
The deepest part of a certain chanical component factory.
Inside a giant steam train manufacturing workshop, up against a wall of stone.
Here, there are semi-chanized and fully chanized security personnel, as well as dense surveillance facilities.
The huge character [IN] is engraved on the wall.
“Please show your valid id, state the purpose of your visit to [Steam City].”
Charlie handed out the three Knight dals, explaining his intentions with a commanding voice:
“My friend ‘Franky Kande’ wants
to help him deal with the issue of highly efficient intelligence in chanical dolls… at the sa ti, my foster father Lindbergh asked
to convey so ssages to Rudolf, vice-chairman of the steam society.
These two are my assistants and will accompany
throughout.”
“Verification in progress, please wait….”
About one minute passes.
The robotic visa officer in front of him smiles and returns the Knight dals along with a collective temporary pass to ensure that the three people stay together.
The guards in Steam City will check outsiders’ identities at any ti. If one cannot produce a pass, they will imdiately be expelled.
Next, there will be a series of full-body inspections to ensure that the entrant did not bring in any pollutants.
With a rumbling sound~ Taking a horizontal moving machine, they move about two hundred ters between the mountains filled with tal fras and steam pipes.
A pure copper door inlaid with gears appeals before their eyes.
The large and small gears on the door subtly depict the image of a fat [Gold Master].
Identity validation has been passed.
The huge copper door separates on its own.
An epoch-crossing city of steam unfolds before Han Dong.
This embedded city, representing the current world’s highest point in the technology tree of the human race… without using electric power, it has realized an artificial intelligence and high-efficiency energy utilization city through steam technology.
All the Apprentice Knights, Knights after passing the Fate Space, the pure copper they brought out, everything after being handed over will be sent here.
The heavy tallic sll has already entered Han Dong’s nostrils in the first mont.
However, Han Dong’s attention was completely attracted by this beautiful city of steam, which to so extent has completely subverted his view of Holy City’s technology.
Han Dong originally thought that when the end of the world ca, humans would survive by relying on the Fate Space, and technology would be stagnant.
But, the truth proved that no matter what world it is, there are always researchers, and they are a crucial part of the developnt of humanity.
“My God! Is this the heart of the Holy City?”
Han Dong stood on the outermost tal walkway, overlooking this incomparable city of tal, for a full five minutes in daze.
Between the buildings with wide gaps, in addition to using railways and steam locomotives as vehicles, there is also a highly efficient aerial vehicle the [Rust Whale]
A full-tal powered airship fabricated in the form of a whale.
Depending on the size and use, there are differences in carrying people and carrying goods.
The most eye-catching is the [Main Heart Area] of Steam City, where it is occupied by a gigantic building.
The Heart of Eternity.
The source of Holy City’s power- ‘The Column of Steam’
This gigantic cylindrical tower, with thousands of pipe branches erging from its base, is closely connected with all the buildings in Steam City, like a ‘tree root’, drawing continuous energy from other buildings.
Its top reaches the highest point inside the cave. Continuing upward it will cross the ground and reach the Council Area.
It is rumored that at the top of ‘The Column of Steam’ corresponds to the [Treasury of the Gold Master].
Gold and silver mountains are piled inside it, all valuable treasures are collected in it and are used as a big bed for the Gold Master to sleep on.
“This is Steam City, a masterpiece built and continuously refined by the Holy City’s engineers over nearly a hundred years… The chanical manufacturing and research going on here will beco an essential part of the Big Expedition.”
