Steel Steam and Flame

　　 Mother is such a character. In the past ten years of life, even during the time when the father was still alive, she basically did not enjoy a peaceful life. There are many things that keep her busy every day, and once this is done, the next thing is already waiting. Looking up, more things have lined up in a long line there. They seem to be the most ardent fan of my mother, regardless of wind and rain, they have always been there.

　　 Physically and mentally, I can't relax for a short time. Cassia doesn’t know how her mother has come over the past ten years, so that these things can become a habit deeply embedded in her mother’s body. Wanting to get rid of them completely is no longer just like It's as simple as drinking warm water down the stomach.

　　 Without taking a few steps away from his thoughts, Cassia quickly recalled in his mind the various fragments of living with his mother and sister Lilia in the small town.

　　 I once heard from those old professors that the speed of sudden thoughts is something that is endless compared to purposeful thinking. Thinking needs to consume the necessary energy in the brain, and with the upgrading of thinking, the capacity of thinking things increases, and their needs for the bottom line of the various functions of the brain are also increasing exponentially.

　　 But thoughts are in a different state. A momentary thought may end someone's life, or it may deal with too many things in that short time. Thoughts are similar to dreams, but in essence they are completely different from dreams. Dreams are intermittently connected, and thoughts seem to be able to break down time infinitely, reaching a state of near eternity.

　　 At this time, the picture in his head returned to the reality in his eyes. Cassia had a deep understanding of the above words, and looked at the neatly paved slabs on the road ahead and sighed.

　　 Now is the time for the transition from summer to autumn in the middle of the year, and there are still a few months before the annual winter vacation. In life in a small town, Cassia has no concept of vacation. Whether it is the winter and summer vacations of the school there, or the weekend rest every week, he almost stays in the steam factory in the small town. Life has become monotonous five or six years ago, and that habit just made him adapt well to life in the military school.

　　 came to the gate of the library, except for the management staff who had long been infected by the atmosphere and became lazy, there was no one who looked like a student. Everyone regards the exercises related to surgery as the most important course in study and life. After finishing the necessary theoretical courses perfunctory, the people who can come to the library are indeed very few.

　　 Cassia did not say hello to the manager, nor did the manager glance at Cassia. The two seem to be in different worlds, and there is nothing in common that can be called intersection.

　　 According to the search catalog, find the map related to the destination among the rows of bookshelves. I thought it would be a very simple thing, that is, open the book and find the quick work in the relevant area based on the address name. But an hour or two later, Cassia repeatedly expanded the scope of the search until it extended to the territory of the entire empire, and still did not see the words Grote said.

"This is in trouble." Cassia touched her soft earlobe, which was red and hot. "Grote has been alive for almost a thousand years. Is the place name he said remains the same? It's a question. And whether the place name he said has been changed to another name in history is also something I need to find information to confirm."

　　 It is very likely that the place name has changed, and Cassia has almost confirmed this idea in his heart.

　　 So from here, Cassia completely gave up the plan to find the map, and instead focused on the historical classification of books. But there is only one place name, and trying to find the answer you want in the bookshelf with no end in sight is tantamount to an impossible task.

　　 Cassia wants to use the search mechanism of the analysis machine to complete this tedious task. There is a super analysis machine in the military school, which stores a lot of data. Relying on the calculation function of the analyzer itself, the search will become simple.

　　 But Taranto's death gave him a signal that someone was very interested in what Grote left behind. The Palace of the Holy Emperor was very powerful, and there must be someone they inserted in the military school. consider

With his current special status, Cassia decided that in the next mission, it would be more complete to borrow machines from other places to search for what he wanted.

　　 finalized the idea in his mind, and Cassia looked at the materials in other areas for a while, and finally borrowed a few books on the use of steam machinery, registered with the administrator, and left the library.

　　 The sky has dimmed, and the street lights in the school were all lit up very early~www.readwn.com~ The street lights emit a soft light, illuminating a small area. In the temperature collection hut set up on the grass, the scale on the thermometer set up is still the same as yesterday, neither high nor low. But Cassia still felt that today was a bit colder than yesterday.

　　Manoma’s summer is about to end, then a short autumn, and then a fierce and unusually cold winter. As long as the gloomy cloud presses over Manoma from the other side of the Blanco Mountains, winter will be announced, and it will not give people any time for relaxation and preparation. Every year, the clouds are thick and dark, like moldy quilts. Several layers overlap the sky, making people breathless.

　　 Now the small town is also in the transitional period before winter, right? Winter in the Clark area is earlier than in Manoma, and there is hardly any obstruction by the clouds, and it is easy to completely enclose a small town in it. The lead-grey clouds are as low as you can reach. The thick black smoke of the boiler plant will also deepen the lead gray in the future, making it completely a cover to block the sun, ruling the entire town for a month or two. Cassia walked in the streetlight with the book in his arms and thought about these things. He checked the time before passing by the cafeteria, wandering in place several times, and finally went inside to have dinner before returning to the dormitory.

　　 After returning to the dormitory to put down the book, Cassia leaned on the desk and wondered how to fill in the application form for weapons and equipment.

　　 There is no clear clue. He put the mission information on the side in front of him, looked at the detailed introduction about this mission, and looked at the lines on the paper to see if he needed a special weapon. (To be continued.)
