The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The announcement of the long night period is a matter of great importance to the residents of O'Dorrain. The heat of this matter even suppressed the heat of the physique medicine announced by the Dodd Group earlier, especially Dangde. The duration of the Zhichang Night Period actually lasted more than twenty days, which made all the people in and outside Odolin City feel inexplicably nervous.

Many qualified people choose to leave Odomin City temporarily to live in other cities temporarily, and wait until the long night period has passed before returning. However, there are still many people who can only stay in the city, even the residents outside the city. Temporarily entered the public shelter in the city to live temporarily, waiting for the long night to pass.

In the days of the long night, the mutated monsters hidden in the virgin forests and mountains outside the city rioted. Attacking Odolin City was only one of the reasons that caused the residents of Odolin to worry and fear. It really made the residents of Odolin City feel fear. What is happening is the various weird events that appear along with the long night. The forces that cause these weird events to happen are unstoppable by the city walls. These forces are hidden in the dark, and will suddenly appear when necessary and drag the victim to death. Death is in a more painful situation.

The only power that can fight against this weird event is all kinds of extraordinary powers and the stinky camphor fuel produced by the fermentation of stinky camphor wood. Therefore, after the time and duration of the long night period are announced, all the Austrians who intend to stay in the city Residents of Doreen flocked to the fuel workshops that they would not normally go to. They purchased large quantities of camphor fuel and hoarded them at home so that the camphor fuel would not be used up before the long night period ended.

Smelly camphor tree is the most common and most abundant type of wood in the Vinylon continent. This kind of wood produces a kind of stinky camphor fruit. The shaman church collects this stinky camphor fruit to process it into insect repellent and a kind of psychic ritual. Other than this, the smelt camphor has no much use.

The wood of the stinky camphor tree itself is not the kind of wood that is particularly resistant to burning, and it emits a foul odor when burned. Long-term inhalation of this foul odor will make people lose the sense of smell, and even more severely will affect the vision. For a long time, it was regarded by the people of Mozambique as the most unpopular wood.

Whether it was the early colonists or the governments of Mozambique who emerged later, they all hoped to cut down this kind of trees and plant other more valuable trees.

However, the viability of the stinky camphor tree is too strong. As long as a seed takes root in a certain place, a stinky camphor bush will grow in that place in just a few months. After another year, it will be It has become a forest of stinky camphor trees, so it is almost impossible for stinky camphor trees to be completely extinct. Governments can only see one tree and clear one tree in a limited area to prevent it from growing.

However, with the development of industrial civilization, the demand for fuel from various factories has increased day by day, and the existing combustible tree species in Mozambique has begun to appear in shortage. Although countries can target the direction of mining in the wasteland, if they do, it will inevitably It triggers religious, political, and military issues, and eventually wars spreading across the entire continent. This is something no one wants to see.

As a result, various countries began to focus on the stinky camphor trees that can be seen everywhere in the mainland of Mozambique, and jointly mobilized human and material resources to solve the problem of the use of stinky camphor trees. Finally, a scholar discovered a fermentation similar to winemaking. Method to ferment the wood. It doesn’t take too long. It only takes three to five days to ferment. It can completely solve the odor produced by burning camphor wood, and the fermented wood fuel can also produce enough firepower. , Although it is a lot worse than the combustible wood, it is enough as a supplementary fuel, and it is only then that the stinky camphor tree can be used.

Later, Shamanism discovered that the combustible materials supported by the camphor tree after incomplete removal of the odor can relieve some of the negative forces generated during the long night to a certain extent. These negative forces include the power that makes people become violent and irritable. It also contains some unknown forces that led to strange events.

Therefore, every time the long night period occurs, people who have the conditions will buy some stinky camphor fuel, and big cities like O'Dorrain will also replace the street lights on the main roads with this stinky camphor fuel.

After the news that Odolin and other regions and countries in the southern part of the mainland of Mozambique would fall into a long night, people and affairs in other places had to be re-arranged because of this accident. Originally, they planned to take the airship Long Wing to Odolin’s Too. Lan also had to temporarily abandon the plan. Other business transactions with the southern long-night period countries and regions, except for particularly urgent transactions, stopped. Everyone knew that the world was already walking in the wild. A very dangerous thing, and the long-night coverage in the wild is ten times more dangerous.

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, the long night came as expected. The sun was still shining at the first moment, and the next moment was plunged into darkness. The sky was completely replaced by darkness, and the stars and moon were not even visible.

After a brief period of panic, those who walked on the street turned on the small waist lamps hung around their waists, lit the stinky camphor fuel that had been prepared in the lamps, adjusted the flames, and adjusted to the top of the waist lamps. After emitting a slight odor, they walked the streets like normal people again, heading to where they needed to go.

Although they are protected by the stinky camphor fuel, they will not be affected by the special power of the long night period, but according to past experience, if they are exposed to the dark for a long time, even if there is stinky camphor fuel, they will be eroded by the unknown power of darkness. , So the pace of pedestrians on the road has obviously accelerated a lot. They must deal with their own affairs as soon as possible, and then return to the company or home to stay with other people, and try to avoid being alone.

At the same time, the lighting team of the O'Dorlin City Government started to ignite the street lamps specially used to burn stinky camphor fuel on the road with a team of three people. Compared with the personal waist lamps, the street lamps on the street were all set off. Sufficient fuel, without adjusting the flame, the light produced after burning can illuminate the boundary around the street lights as much as possible, and pedestrians on the road also began to consciously follow the route of the street lights to avoid falling into those street lights. In the darkness that can't be seen.

Because the smell of camphor fuel can suppress human emotions and will not be affected by the power in the dark, even after some treatment, the smell of camphor fuel has been reduced a lot, but when using camphor fuel When all the street lights were lit, the entire city of O'Dorrain was immediately found by an inexplicable smell.

In the ruined construction site of the factory area of ​​the Dodd Group, a number of temporary stinking camphor braziers were also ignited, illuminating the entire construction site. The workers on the construction site were not greatly affected, and they were still focusing on their own affairs. Most of these workers are of local origin. They are well aware that when so many people gather, they have ordered stinky camphor fuel. Everyone still has medicine to deal with abnormal emotions, so they will encounter dangers. Much smaller.

However, because the burning brazier is an open type without a fire cover, and the first witches group led by Sylvia around the factory area has arranged some forbidden powers, it hinders air circulation to a certain extent, which makes The air in the ruins of the factory has become much smellier than the outside world.

The locals have become accustomed to this smell, and even have a certain resistance to this smell, but for Sylvia and the others, it is obviously uncomfortable. For this reason, they have to use some methods to remove the air in the factory camp. With some filtering, this is slightly better.

However, people like Emily who need to patrol the factory often have to suffer from the odor every time they leave the camp. This time she couldn't help complaining: "We should have left before the long night. ."

"Who is responsible for leaving the construction site here." Sylvia asked back. Before Emily responded, she asked again: "Which step is the progress of the reconstruction on the melting furnace?"

"The inscription group has started to inscribe the Turing roots on the inner layer. It will take about two days to complete. The components of the outer layer have been made almost, and it should be able to assemble the Turing roots on the inner layer. , If the entire smelting furnace's basic renovation project goes smoothly, it can be completed before the end of the long night period." Emily replied seriously.

Sylvia nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, so even if those guys find an abnormality, they won't be able to stop it."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the camp, and then he saw Su hurriedly walk in from outside, and said to Sylvia, "Something happened."

Seeing Su's solemn expression, Sylvia didn't ask much, she immediately stood up and led the people out, letting Su briefly explain the situation on the road.

It turned out that in a collapsed factory building just now waiting to re-reinforce the foundation, there was a miserable cry. When the nearby workers heard it, people came in to check it out. These people were all workers sent from other places and had not experienced long nights. The local workers knew very well that a strange incident might have occurred. They all gathered around the brazier in the brightly lit area, and did not try to get inside.

Su is in charge of the safety of the factory area, so naturally he rushed over immediately, and quickly counted the number of people. It was found that there were seven fewer workers in charge of the reconstruction project of the factory area. These seven people were all outsiders without exception. The four people were the people who entered the factory building when they heard the sound. The other three people who disappeared are unclear.

Soon Sylvia took people to the factory where the accident occurred. The workers who had gathered here had been taken to the camp at Su’s order. Only a team of factory guards were left here. These guards It seemed to be very nervous. After seeing Sylvia and others coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reported the situation just now.

Just now, when Su rushed back to inform Sylvia, there was another scream from the factory building, but this time no one went over there again, and the scream stopped after more than a dozen screams. .

This factory building waiting to be rebuilt is not on the edge of the factory area, but stays in the center of the factory area, close to the core melting furnace. It is responsible for the secondary annealing of the steel from the melting furnace and then rolling it into various different shapes. The steel of specifications is then transported to other plants for subsequent processing.

In the entire factory area, there are five factories like this, and they are all next to the melting furnace. When the accident happened not long ago, these factories were also one of the most severely damaged factories. Almost all the ground parts of the factories were It collapsed, leaving only some load-bearing columns and foundations that are relatively intact. In the following reconstruction work, the foundations and load-bearing columns of these factories will be re-reinforced, and the factories will be built for different purposes, not just for carrying out Secondary processing.

Although this place is located near the general camp of the entire reconstruction site, it may be like black under a lamp. It has become a place that everyone ignores. There are only four braziers around the entire factory building. The light of these braziers can only dimly illuminate some. The road, because of the blocking of the surrounding trees, can not illuminate the interior of the factory at all.

"Didn't they warn them not to go to places where there is no light?" Sylvia couldn't help frowning when she saw the situation in the factory, and turned to question the manager in charge of this area.

"You know, foreigners who have not experienced the long night period will not really understand how dangerous it is." Before the manager responded, Su explained for the other party and said: "Among the people who have accidents during the long night period, the foreigners People make up the vast majority."

Sylvia no longer blamed the steward for not taking good care of her workers. She looked at the dark factory building and was silent for a while, and said, "Su and Emily let me in, and the others stayed outside."

The other witches of the first witch group around said worriedly: "My Countess, we too..."

"You don't have to follow, if something happens, with your strength, being around me will drag me down." Sylvia interrupted them unceremoniously ~www.readwn.com~ and spoke out bluntly Her thoughts.

After that, she did not look at the ugly faces of her subordinates, and led Su and Emily toward the factory building, and quickly entered the ruins of the factory building from a cleared road.

At the moment of entering the factory, Sylvia turned on the energy detection module in the universal recorder on her wrist, and soon an energy wavelength map appeared on her retina, which made it easy for her to see Details of any abnormal energy fluctuations in the plant.

This universal recorder is the universal recorder that Leo gave to Sylvia. It is more complete than the universal recorder used by Leo, and this universal universal recorder is not a simple civilian version, but specializes in some The explorer version used by the planetary expedition has many functional modules.

Leo has never used this type of universal recorder, only can unlock some universal modules, and the energy detection module is one of them.

This universal recorder was given to Sylvia by Leo. He also taught Sylvia how to use it and some cosmopolitan languages. Over the years, Sylvia has done a lot of things with this universal recorder and obtained It has a lot of advantages, and it is not much worse than Leo in terms of using proficiency.
