Steel Steam and Flame

　　 In the very center of the steel spider in the sky, a huge black iron pillar hangs downside down. It is the most important steam drill bit for mining machinery, driven entirely by the simple and rough power of steam. Even at such a distance, the rough spiral patterns above can be clearly seen. The drill bit is made up of countless large-scale parts. After decades, the abandoned steel monsters have not escaped the erosion of time. The red copper-colored rust is like a colony, all large and small are covered in it. Body.

"Is the empire so powerful decades ago? The world that I see in my eyes is still too small." This is not only Cassia's sigh, but also the arms smuggling merchants who are still hiding in the dark. We, and the common voice of the student body at this moment.

"Mr. Cassia, the statement that the empire was so powerful decades ago is actually wrong. This time can still move forward for a hundred years." Lee also raised his head and looked at the sky above his head with interest. , Corrected him after hearing what Cassia said. "The industrial base of the empire has actually ceased to develop for almost two hundred years. As early as around 840 in the Holy Calendar, the empire pushed the power of industry to its peak, and the reason is of course Avalon's contribution in the same period. The Wallonia Institution has a keen interest in the development of the steel industry, so under the efforts of that group of scientists, relying on industrial power, steam power, and other emerging energy powers, the production of the empire produced tremendous development and development at that time. The leap-forward progress has reached the situation and state we are seeing now."

　　 Cassia nodded. These are things that have not been recorded in the book. Or the history is that he, as a civilian before, has not yet possessed the identity and power to contact and understand.

"Avalon, the holy place in the minds of many people." Gustin also said to the side. "But since the re-industry revolution two hundred years ago, Avalon's center of gravity has completely shifted from steel. The foundation and production of the company. Their current focus is entirely on technical research that represents the most advanced specifications on the post-phase continent. Especially for their biotechnology, as well as for the various climates on the road, and for the surrounding Research on the endless oceans around us is something they are increasingly interested in."

"If Avalon continues to provide technical support for the empire's industry, the mining machinery that is now displayed in front of us will have another unique appearance." Gustin guessed and stood up at the same time. Pat the dust on his body. The words that should be sighed are finished, and the opening ceremony that should be appreciated is also quietly finished from the seats. Next, is the time that should be given to all actors. They are about to be on the stage and perform an opera with sparks and bursting sounds together according to the script.

　　 Kara and the others got up at the same time, and the figure hidden in the dark went further and further in the endless black air.

　　 "Do they know how to go up?" This sentence suddenly came out in the darkness.

　　 "This is really a question of lack of thinking, Mr. Cassia." Lee said in the darkness, "Those arms dealers don't lack eyes. I think they should be able to see those huge pillars."

　　 Like Li's answer to Cassia's words, the people who gathered in the center of the mining area saw the grand opening ceremony and also discovered the huge steel pillars. They are too attractive, and it is impossible for everyone to miss it. The number of legs is the same as that of spider legs. Those are eight pillars with a diameter of more than 100 meters. Each of them is in the center of a spider leg. It falls vertically from the sky of several kilometers, and it feels like this space is full. Supported by these pillars. Their position arrangement is not a standard circle. If you connect them with lines, it may be more appropriate to regard them as an ellipse.

　　 These cylindrical steel buildings not only support the starry scene in the sky, but also serve as the easiest elevator to enter that piece of the world. They are distributed around the central mining area, but the thoughtful Nolida long before they arrived, like a mining machine that uses a giant black cloth to block the sky, these pillars have also been camouflaged by him with rocks and mud into huge rocks. Pillars are the most common type in the cavities of mine tunnels.

When the empire was building these most basic supporting buildings, it was built by relying on these natural rock pillars, which could reduce a lot of work time, and also provide them with a good platform for building, and can be used in a large range. Inside to ensure the stability of the steel supporting column. Therefore, Nolida’s camouflage work is simply to wrap some bare and exposed parts with rocks and soil again, just like wrapping a sword with black cloth.

　　 In the darkness on the periphery of the mining area, the arms smuggling merchants and student groups who came here have also gathered into eight torrents, each moving towards the eight supporting pillars in the central lighting system of the mining area. But before reaching half of the distance, these torrents exchanged fire with the low ridges in front and the men of Nolida and Fros who had been ambushing in other places.

　　Snipers of various forces have become the most important combat power at this time, and the central mining area at this moment has completely become their battlefield. The effective range of ordinary blunderbuss, pistols, and heavy firearms has nothing to do with those snipers hiding in the dark.

　　 The powerful bullets of the sniper rifle burst into the air with a dazzling hot light trajectory, and the clear sound produced by friction did not stop when they stepped into the dim light. But these arms smugglers gathered too many people, and the numbers on the side of Nolida and Fros did not have any advantage. The threat of the sniper was indeed huge, but still failed to stop this team from advancing toward the support column. Like the stones thrown into the torrent, their only effect is to stir up a splash of water, and they are completely submerged by the crazy running water. Even delaying a little time has become their delusion.

　　Kasia they disguised themselves as mercenaries~www.readwn.com~ Those camouflage clothes can be torn off from corpses everywhere. Following a team formed by confluence, everyone has restrained their emotions very well for the time being, and it is not time for them to start fighting. At the moment, they should be unanimous to the outside world. First, knock down Nolida and the hateful Fros, and then slowly solve the following things. They are in the building above their heads. They may still be looking at us with binoculars, but they must not be shown their own jokes at this time. This is everyone's idea.

　　 With the help of an excellent sniper, Carla, the team cleared the obstacles and opened the road with firepower much faster than the other seven teams.

　　 Nearly an hour and a half, they first came to the side of a support pillar wrapped in rock. With dozens of bright lights hitting it, I couldn't see the whole picture, which was close to 100 meters in diameter. At this moment, there was a fire light on the side, it was the brightness that shone like the sun. After being ignited, several pieces of powerful solid fuel were thrown aside, so that the surrounding darkness was completely dispersed and clean, leaving only a group of shaking shadows on the rock wall.

　　 Without the protection of darkness, Nuorida's rough camouflage place was quickly found. The arms dealers’ men picked up the fire blaster, or set up a heavy machine gun, the muzzle gushed out red light, and the bullet hit the camouflaged rock wall, just using cement and some adhesive to bond things together. It fell off, revealing the steel skin covered with rust inside, as well as winding copper-colored steam pipes. Not long after, several welded iron gates also appeared in the eyes of the surrounding crowd.
