Taoist Quick Wear

13-Within reach

The wizards studied the locomotive day and night, and Lancefield assigned a group of subordinates to lay rails outside the Dark City.

In order to facilitate future adjustments, only about a kilometer of rails were laid for the first time.

After making the locomotive strictly according to the drawings, the wizards began to adjust the speed and stability, and study how to reduce consumption and increase energy utilization.

Lancefield was very interested in this, but he did not have the leisure to participate in the study now, so he only selected some smart and diligent people to help the wizards. In the past, when he was an agent, there were many unsolved cases that could not be solved. Now, the real murderer can be pursued through the surviving undead, and those deaths can be put to an end.

Si Qingyan took action twice and solved half of the undead in the Dark City. The rest fled in all directions. Some fled to the nightmare world, some went to other places on the continent, and some hid in very hidden places. As long as there were clues, they would be found by Lancefield and executed after declaring the evil deeds.

Even if the tragedy has happened and the past cannot be changed, dealing with criminals is still a meaningful thing. It not only warns the remaining undead, but also kills more crimes in the cradle invisibly.

New laws have been promulgated, and the prohibitions are very strict. Fighting is prohibited, bullying women is prohibited, robbery and theft are prohibited, and human trafficking is prohibited... Severe cases will be put to death, and minor cases will be caught and taken to mine.

Some people heard that mining can provide three meals a day and clean accommodation, and they will even take the initiative to break the law, such as suddenly punching the patrolling agent, or turning themselves in and saying that they have stolen before.

People here are always struggling in the dark and lightless bottom, but they can see the nobles' life of debauchery.

The contradictions between each other are very sharp, and it is not a small problem that can be reconciled in the short term.

Si Qingyan gave Lansfeier crops that can increase production and various spices that can be used for cooking. In addition to maintaining the stability of the dark city, innovating laws, and catching criminals, Lansfeier must also ensure that no one here will die of hunger.

The soil can be improved. Si Qingyan studied the characteristics of the new crops based on their growth, and gradually found a plant suitable for large-scale planting in the dark city-the blackthorn tree. This tree has a very high purification effect, strong vitality, and a lot of starch inside the tree. If you cut a hole, white starch slurry will flow out. It can be drunk directly, but it tastes light and astringent. It can also be made into staple foods such as bread, which has a solid taste and needs to be soaked in soup before swallowing. Even if it doesn't taste good, it is much better than enduring hunger.

The water here is seriously polluted, and many places overlap with the nightmare world, and everything is overshadowed by an indescribable shadow. Crops such as rice and wheat cannot be planted, and only the blackthorn tree stands. Its roots have a strong ability to hold the soil and purify water sources. Perhaps after a period of time, the soil here will be greatly improved. Considering that the nightmare world has been constantly eroding the dark city, this improvement is also minimal.

Perhaps the people of the dark city will never be able to eat local rice in their lifetime. When this place becomes stronger in the future, we can consider importing from other continents to enrich the recipes of the people of the dark city.

Soon after, the locomotive equipped with a steam engine was carefully placed on the rails by the wizards. The most primitive steam locomotive is bulky and huge, with a round locomotive and a fuel-carrying carriage behind it. The front end is like a human face grinning, twisted and hideous, with a strange mockery.

During the assembly process of the train, unknown changes gradually appeared in the front of the locomotive. At present, it has not brought any harm, but made the internal parts more rounded and fit. After the wizards destroyed the human face, other parts could not be assembled, so they had to keep it.

Si Qingyan also saw that although the locomotive had a strange vitality, it did not have any consciousness and was not considered a living thing. Perhaps it was a mutation of steam in the world of light. In order to observe this mutation, He did not stop the wizards from assembling.

The energy source of the steam locomotive is a black liquid that looks like oil, feels cold to the touch, can regenerate slowly, and is between the initial world and the nightmare world. It is a special liquid mineral that does not produce smoke when burning, but only produces Yin Qi.

At first, coal mines were used, but the pollution was too serious, and the reserves in the dark city were insufficient, and could not support subsequent development. The wizards replaced it with this energy named "black gold".

Dark City has been shrouded in Yin Qi for a long time. The locals have almost adapted to this erosion, and their physique has changed, so they will not be affected by black gold. Even if the black gold is not burned, it will continue to emit Yin Qi underground, and then absorb the Yin Qi in the air to condense, and use it as energy, which is a happy thing for everyone.

Theoretically speaking, the black gold of Dark City forms a perfect closed loop with the local overall environment. As long as the intermediate parts are not broken or damaged, a real perpetual motion machine can be created.

On the first day of the train experiment, all residents of Dark City came to the outskirts of the city to watch, and there were even some ghosts.

They have been looking forward to this for a long time. This is the new power system mentioned by the Lord of the Divine Court.

The Lord of the Divine Court does not bless his believers, and there is no Temple Knight under his command.

Now the entire Dark City lacks a complete Temple Knight system.

Other gods will give believers power according to the degree of their faith and form Temple Knights.

The Lord of the Divine Court reacted mediocrely to the temple in Dark City, just as an ordinary residence.

No one dared to despise the newly built manor, and believers prayed and worshiped in a distant place every day.

Si Qingyan originally lived in a small apartment opposite Lance Feier. Later, the remaining wizards often gathered there for meetings, arguing, bringing some parts, knocking, and even fighting because of different opinions. It was really noisy. Even though they still have enough respect for Si Qingyan, they will ignore many external issues when they are obsessed with scientific research.

Lance Feier built a manor at the original location of Blood Rose Castle as Si Qingyan's temple. There are no statues inside, and it looks like a slightly more refined aristocratic manor. However, because Si Qingyan moved in, everything became noble. Under the devout worship of believers, the entire manor was illuminated by a layer of soft white light. This was The appearance of the power of faith condensed into substance.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they finally waited until the Lord of the Divine Court came out of the temple.

Mortals cannot look directly at gods.

But you can lower your head and watch the slender and tall figure passing in front of you.

As soon as his eyes touched the corner of His clothes, a great sense of happiness and satisfaction arose in his heart.

This is the first god ever to reside in a human city.

His clothes are very unfamiliar. His long-sleeved robe is embroidered with complex and exquisite patterns, and is beautiful everywhere. It reminds people of a long-standing, vast and magnificent civilization.

The Lord of the Divine Court has different meanings to everyone in Dark City.

He is the only light in the endless darkness, making all the creatures in the dark city realize——

The place abandoned by the gods, the place of sin and darkness, there are also gods who favor it.

Following God's instructions, they built a steam engine.

Finally, under His gaze, the results of everyone’s hard work during this period will be displayed.

Everyone was very nervous. They didn’t expect God’s approval. They just hoped not to be too stupid and disappoint Him.

"My lord, can we begin?" a wizard asked.

Si Qingyan nodded slightly, looking forward to this as well.

The steam engines here not only represent technology, but are also mixed with unknown elements. Such as Yin Qi, nightmare world, and some more secretive and powerful existences.

The wizard recited a few short and weird syllables, and a spark came out of his palm and flew into the place where the locomotive was loading energy. Black flames rose up. There was a little golden light, and black smoke rushed out from the chimney above the locomotive. It quickly turns into Yin Qi and disappears without a trace.

An unfamiliar roar came from the locomotive, and then the engine started and the mechanical gears began to rotate.

"Let's go!" Sisters Sulia and Sophia sat in the driver's seat and controlled the direction.

Even after practicing hundreds of times, they still find it difficult to control their inner tension.

Until the train slowly moved forward, everything coincided perfectly with the plan.

Since the track is not long, they drive in the slowest gear.

Cheers instantly erupted all around.

In the eyes of Andu people, this is undoubtedly very magical.

No witchcraft or divine magic was used. Just lighting the fire made a large pile of iron blocks run forward. It was amazing!

Although they only saw the beginning, they vaguely imagined the glory of the future.

About two-thirds of the way through, Sulia was about to stop because the train would move another distance due to inertia, but Si Qingyan waved to stop it.

The originally only one thousand meters of railway track suddenly extended infinitely, and there were countless more carriages behind the locomotive that could carry people. Si Qingyan walked into the first section and asked other wizards,

"Don't you want to experience what it's like to ride a steam train?"

"Don't be crowded. Enter in an orderly manner. Everyone present can come in. There are enough seats."

"Praise you." Countless people saluted Si Qingyan.

The first section of the cabin where Si Qingyan was in had the fewest people, and they were all people he was familiar with, such as Lance Feier, Garcia, etc.

For the sake of visibility, both sides of the carriage are covered with transparent glass, but they cannot be opened. Some vents are left for wind to blow in from all directions.

Surya and Sophia discovered that the railway tracks kept extending forward, passing through every street and alley in the dark city, leading everyone to the places where they lived their daily lives, passing by the collapsed and decaying ancient castle, passing by the tall and sacred temple, and after processing The criminal's execution ground passed by the children's school... and finally spread into the air.

It's a long, slow train.

It can fit everyone in Andu simply because the population here has always been sparse and the death rate is extremely high. The total number is tens of thousands, and the seats in the carriage are not very spacious.

No one complained, everyone was seriously experiencing this novel feeling.

It was the smoothest car they had ever been in.

Most people in Andu have never ridden in a car in their lives. Usually only nobles can ride in carriages, and farmers can ride in ox-carts. Except for the coachman, others have only seen the appearance of carriages.

I heard from the coachman that the uneven road would be very bumpy. Even the nobles would complain that their buttocks hurt, and they would definitely not be as comfortable as they are now.

The breeze blows in from the car window, blowing all kinds of hair. The rails slowly stretched up into the sky, traveling above the dark city. They could freely look down at the towns below and watch everything shrink in their eyes. The originally huge lakes and woods became palm-sized or even smaller.

They crossed the abyss and passed the crater. They couldn't help but be nervous, but the train was always smooth.

It gets dark very quickly in Andu, and there are usually thick clouds overhead.

They passed through the clouds, and there was a huge bright moon outside the window. Looking up, the stars were so bright, it was a scene that had never been seen before in this life.

It turns out that there is such a clear sky above Dark City, with so many stars.

The Milky Way is full of stars, and the moon hangs high in the sky.

Everything is within reach.

Inexplicably moved, countless people burst into tears.
