My Cell Prison

When Han Dong looked up at this pillar of steam whose energy supply was comparable to that of a large nuclear power plant, he found a circle of large annexes erected in the air.

It is located in the middle of the column, about 400 meters above the ground.

With the steam column as the main center, a diameter of connecting pipe (for vehicles and living creatures to pass) extends outward.

There are a total of twelve connecting pipes, arranged in a spiral shape in the middle, connecting and carrying a ring fortress surrounding the steam column as an auxiliary building.

The surface of the ring fortress is marked with a very conspicuous Gear Cross pattern in dark brass.

There are also many 'whale flats' on the periphery of the ring fortress, where rust whales of various sizes can land.

Everything here is managed by the [gold master]?

Although this place is also under the control of the parliament, the real power is indeed the gold lord, there is no doubt about that.

The [quan] of the gold master can be said to be the largest among the Thirteen Knights. The economic system of the Holy City is inseparable from the gold master due to some relationship, and the operation of the entire Steam City cannot be separated from the gold master.

If this is the heart of the holy city, then the gold master is also the heart of the steam city... This steam city designed and built by the ancestors, the appearance of the gold master officially led the city to enter the heyday.

but.

Although the ruler is the gold lord.

However, the person who is secretly managing and monitoring the [Steam City] is another one, who is also the most trusted lieutenant of the gold master, the deputy head of the Steam Knights.

The founder of Mechanicism - Congreve Newton.

The Mechanic God Cult is a special group organization that is submitted to and approved by the parliament by the gold masters and the many associations attached to [Steam City]. The religion has its own religious teachings.

However, the development of Mechanicism and all kinds of missionaries are absolutely limited to Steam City, and external development is prohibited.

What about the church gathering place?

Han Dong looked around, and although he saw many mechanical churches in the streets full of pipes, they were all small and medium-sized, and he did not see the kind of large church that could carry the entire mechanical religion.

Didn't you see it at first?

Charlie pointed to the top of his head, which was the ring fortress connected to the pillar of steam.

[Holy Ring], the core sanctuary of the Mechanic God.

It is also the air fortress and monitoring center of the Steam Knights. Newton, who has supreme control, can monitor everything in the steam city through the Holy Ring.

A space fortress? Mr. Newton is really generous. It seems... the place where I was invited should be the Holy Ring.

As for what Han Dong is going to do, this involves privacy issues, and Charlie Knight didn't ask much.

Be careful when dealing with these mechanical bastards.

If you are not in a hurry, you can follow me to a friend's factory first... I can introduce you to the real steam city in advance, not the fake city under the influence of the cult.

Okay, trouble Senior Charlie.

Walk along the side wall stairs, when you officially come to the ground streets of Steam City.

Immediately with the size of a head, a reconnaissance plane flying by jet power came to the three of them, and left after Charlie showed his temporary pass.

On streets paved with all-metal,

The residents of Steam City walking here are not ordinary people.

A person who can work in a Steamtown workshop, factory, or research institute.

At least they are all those who have obtained the senior engineer or senior researcher certificate, or professional technicians who have worked in a mechanical workshop recognized by the Holy City for more than five years.

As for the ordinary residents living in Steam City, it is also very special.

Some of the residents here are just ordinary people, and some are veteran knights. They have a common feature - [half-body transformation].

All human beings who are not mechanics or engineers, who want to obtain long-term residency in Steam City, need to sign an agreement called - Donate Body when entering the city.

You need to donate 50% of your body to Steam City for human transformation.

In addition to conventional metal prosthetic grafts, a tiny gear sensor needs to be inserted into the brain.

The large-scale induction terminal equipped with [Holy Ring] can conduct irregular checks on the individual's brain consciousness through sensors. Once the individual's mind is found to be degenerate, it will immediately give steam purification.

Here is a question. The monitoring of thoughts means that the privacy of individuals will no longer exist. Who would be willing to sign such an agreement?

The answer is simple.

Some ordinary people who can't live in the civilian area, or some veteran knights who can't live for a few years after suffering physical injuries, will usher in their second life in Steam City.

Even some mechanics will graft mechanical appendages on their bodies, which can greatly improve their work efficiency.

Walking on such a city street, Han Dong and his party became aliens here.

Charlie led the two around a few streets.

Stop in front of a larger factory.

This large factory has a full set of manufacturing and production processes for robot dolls.

Those who are performing inspections and key assembly work on the assembly line, or debugging parameters in front of the difference engine are semi-mechanized humans whose brains maintain absolute integrity.

None of the full robots are added to the spawning process.

Everyone is also chatting and laughing at work, and the overall atmosphere is very good.

Enter the factory with a group of people.

The workers immediately bowed their heads to pay tribute to Charlie.

At the same time, a rather enthusiastic voice came from the second floor: Charlie, why are you here?

It's really boring to follow the old man. I happen to have a friend who is coming to Steam City, so I stopped by to see you... Franky, how are you doing recently?

What else can I do, living with allowances... How is Teacher Lindbergh? The Great Expedition is approaching, and I am also busy here. It has been a long time since I went to visit the teacher.

This old man is very tough, and he is very energetic when he scolds me.

The teacher's character is like that, come up and talk.

This man named Franky is an uncle of the same age as Charlie Knight, and he is also the director of this factory.

The difference is that Franky maintains a 100% human body without any modification. He has obtained the permanent residence right of Steam City through his senior mechanical engineer certificate.

This is Nicholas and his girlfriend Mia. Nicholas and I are with the Knights of Secret Words and have helped me a lot in private.

Frankie Kander, my childhood playmate, used to be an apprentice under my adoptive father for a long time.

With the introduction of Charlie Knight, both sides are naturally familiar.

Just when the two uncles sat down and were about to talk about some recent events.

A nerve in Charlie's head was affected, and he stood up with a solemn expression.

Why did the guy from the Mechanic Sect come?

Hey... Charlie, don't get excited, because of some things about the Great Crusade, the Mechanic God Cult has been very active recently, carrying out various forms of missionary activities in residential areas.

I'll just deal with it, just wait!
