Star Dome Railway: My pioneers were abducted

"Hey, what is this? A heater? Why should it be placed outside? Shouldn't it be placed indoors?" March 7 asked, pointing to a column heater at the door of the mechanical room.

"Oh! That thing is Belloberg's most common geothermal heater. The one in front of you is damaged. Even though it looks ordinary, Belloberg can always withstand the wind and snow outside. It's all thanks to These things." Shiluva, who was interrupted from deep thought, explained, "Oh, looking at your clothes, you should be the people who just met Cocolia, right?"

"Hey, how do you know we have seen the Great Guardian?" Mengshi covered her mouth and said in surprise.

"Haha, the relationship with the Iron Guards is relatively good, and I mentioned it from a few loose-talking Iron Guards." Shiluva said with a smile, "You are a person from outside the world! I have also mentioned it in old materials before. I’ve seen records before, but I didn’t expect that not only can I see it with my own eyes, but I can also hear songs from outside. It’s really amazing.”

"Come, let's go inside and chat!" Xiluwa enthusiastically invited everyone, and Ye Xiao and others did not refuse.

"Shiluva, this earth marrow heater should use the "earth marrow" as fuel, right? So what is this earth marrow? Xing asked.

"Earth marrow is a specialty ore here. Everything from city heating to the counter in my hand is powered by earth marrow." Shiluwa explained, throwing away the small objects in his hand.

"The marrow grows deep underground. It is mined by professional mining teams in the lower area and then sent to the ground through transportation pipelines. In contrast, the upper area will also transport support materials to the lower level through pipelines. Unfortunately, because of an order many years ago , there has been no contact between the upper and lower levels for more than ten years..."

"Ah? What's the matter? Aren't the people in the lower class areas..." The dream consciousness immediately thought of the hardships of life in the lower classes.

"Yeah, I can't understand the Great Guardian's approach of cutting off communication between the upper and lower levels at all. He said that the attacks of the world-splitting creatures are becoming more and more fierce, and all the iron guards need to be gathered to fight on the front line, but the lower areas are blocked... Tsk!" Xiluwa's face looked a little ugly, "That guy just seems like a different person."

"Shiluva, are you familiar with the Great Guardian?" March 7 asked.

"Well, that's right, I used to be a good best friend who talked about everything." Sylva's interest was a bit low.

"Ever?" Dan Heng grasped the key point.

"That's right. Later, she and I had a big fight because of some differences. After that, she stopped my research. After losing my job, I opened this small shop. It's pretty good, isn't it? Fix something and play with it every day. Playing rock music is much more free than doing miserable experiments." Siluwa pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about such disappointing things."

Seeing that Xiluwa avoided talking, everyone did not continue to ask questions. After exchanging a few words, they left the machine room.

"Hey, I suddenly have an ominous premonition. Will there really be no problems in tomorrow's discussion?" March 7 rarely looked a little depressed, and Xing also expressed his uneasiness.

"The Great Guardian Cocolia seems to have experienced a drastic change in temperament, and it seems that the relationship between Beloberg's upper and lower levels may be very stiff. The balance that can be barely maintained now depends on the two sides being in a state of complementary material, but this relationship is too It’s fragile, and the life in the lower class area may be...”

"It shouldn't be too good, and the rift has eroded into the interior of Beloberg. Similarly, it can be speculated that the situation in the lower area will not be very good, and as Gu Siluwa said, the Silver Mane Iron Guard has already assembled. At the upper level..." Dan Heng said with a wry smile.

"Well, I suddenly feel that the situation in this city is so bad!" Mengshi said, "Aren't they protected by faith? Why don't the Star Gods who protect them help them?"

"I don't know, maybe King Amber doesn't care about this small planet, or maybe this planet is deviating from the path of preservation." Ye Xiao said pointedly, "Let's discuss it in the hotel room! I Got some ideas.”

······

Several people came to the Goethe Hotel arranged by Cocolia. When they walked into the lobby, they could see that the decoration of the entire hotel was very grand, with exquisite lamps and expensive-looking murals, which were very high-end.

"Wow, it looks great. The bright lobby has soft mattresses and bouncy pillows tonight!" March 7th said excitedly, brushing aside her previous worries.

"Do you want to have a pillow fight tonight? Do you want to have a pillow fight? I think the pillows in this hotel must be goose down~"

"Of course!" Xinghe Mengshi kept nodding, looking very interested in the pillow fight.

Dan Heng and Ye Xiao looked at each other and sighed helplessly, after briefly completing the check-in procedures.

Yu Yue still did not give up the idea of ​​dragging Ye Xiao and Dan Heng into the war. Unfortunately, the two "hard-hearted" men were completely unmoved and came to the room. Dan Heng first initiated the team meeting speech.

"Ahem, let's talk about business first! March, did you pay attention to the great guardian in Clipper Castle just now?"

"Of course, I have been adventuring with you for so long, and my observation skills have been sharpened!" March 7 said without hesitation.

"There is indeed something wrong." Xing recalled the scene, "Although the Great Guardian was easy to talk to after explaining the reason, it always felt like she was staring at other things when she was talking to us."

"Really? There was no one else in the hall at that time, right?" Mengshi said that he didn't know anything. "Although I heard what Sylva said later, the great guardian seemed to have become very strange, but when he was talking to us There’s nothing wrong with it, right?”

"Ye Xiao, you just said you had some guesses. Is it time to talk about it now?" Dan Heng looked at Ye Xiao.

"First of all, let's analyze all the information we have learned. Yaliluo had come into contact with other civilizations 700 years ago, whether it was the pioneering star gods or other civilizations. In short, these civilizations must have interacted with the local civilization of Yaliluo. There were a lot of exchanges, so today’s Beloberg has relevant records.”

"Not bad." Dan Heng nodded.

"That's a little strange. The concept of star core is not a recent one, right? The Yaliluo people who had already communicated with alien civilizations at that time and even had some beliefs to protect them and became city builders really didn't know about stars. Nuclear?"

"? What do you mean?" Dream Consciousness couldn't get around it.

"What he means is that when talking to the Great Guardian, the other party's attitude of not knowing about the star core was just an act." Dan Heng spread out a hand and explained.

"Maybe she didn't trust us at that time, so she deliberately didn't say anything to trick us?" Xing said.

"Indeed, as outsiders, it is not unreasonable for the other party to be wary and conceal something." Dan Heng nodded.

"Yes, there is indeed nothing wrong with concealing something. The reason why she set the discussion about the star core for tomorrow is probably because she wants to consider whether we are really trustworthy.

"The other party really doesn't know about the star core, right? If the Great Guardian knew that the cold wave was caused by the star core, why didn't he announce it? Compared with aimlessly fighting against the cold wave and the rift, wouldn't having a specific goal inspire people more? The will to resist?" Xing put forward a different opinion, "The star core is not some hidden secret."

"Yes, the star core is not a hidden secret, so who has the secret?" Ye Xiao said meaningfully.

"You mean! The Great Guardian deliberately blocked news about the star core for some reasons?" Mengshi exclaimed, "Why would she do this? With more people studying the star core, wouldn't there be more hope of solving the problem? "

"Perhaps they have studied it before, but with the erosion of the rift, the level of science and technology has continued to decline, resulting in the inability to obtain results. The Great Guardian thought that it was useless to continue the research, so it was sealed up?" March 7 said uncertainly.

"Then this is even more problematic. If you know the dangers of the star core and don't study how to destroy or seal the star core, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up all hope and waiting to die quietly?" Ye Xiao said.

"In general, either the other party really doesn't know anything about the Star Core and is now considering our credibility." Ye Xiao concluded, "Or the other party knew the news about the Star Core but deliberately blocked the Star Core. news."

"If it's the former, that's fine. There's a high chance that the other party will believe us. Even if they don't believe it, there won't be any problem. After all, we come with good intentions."

"But if it's the latter, then I think we should be prepared to be backstabbed by the opponent!"
