Chapter 160 Dead City
This was the first time that Lin Xian's mechanical heart had completely swallowed up his energy. It felt as if the mechanical heart had activated some kind of self-protection program and forcibly "shut down" itself.
When the mechanical power started operating again, Lin Xian began to feel a cold touch on his skin, and...a sense of weightlessness!
Infinity, is going down fast.
Wow!
The tracks buzzed and the train trembled.
Lin Xian opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed in Car No. 1. Chen Sixuan shouted softly in the cockpit: "We are slowing down, there are no obstacles ahead."
"Everyone, hurry up, Shasha takes care of your brother Lin!"
He turned his eyes and saw that Lou Shasha was holding his shoulders nervously, fearing that he would roll out of bed due to inertia, while her little face was looking out the window nervously.
"Sister Chen, we haven't received any broadcasts related to Jiazhou City yet." KIKI's voice came from Car No. 2.
Lin Xian felt his head was in a daze, and his subconscious told him that the descending slope must be a climbing passage.
Have you already arrived in Jiazhou City?
Ding~
A reminder came from the Heart of Machinery, and Lin Xian discovered that the R&D Center had completed the research progress on the M556 light machine gun a few hours ago, and a new blueprint package prompted him to obtain it.
In a flash of glory, there was a brand new blueprint in the R&D center.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Growler K23 electric rotary machine gun (blueprint)]
Lin Xian raised his neck and took a look, his pupils trembled slightly, and then he fell back on the pillow.
"Am I dazzled?"
"What the hell is this? The research and development of enhanced firepower just came out with such a thing..."
Lin Xian pondered for a moment and became convinced that this R&D center was not a simple blueprint upgrade, including the A1-level subcritical reverse osmosis water purifier, which was completely created out of thin air.
He even began to suspect that the upgraded R&D center might no longer be made on this planet...
"Hoo!"
At the critical moment, Lin Xian didn't have time to think too much, so he shook his groggy head and stood up immediately.
Seeing that Lin Xian was awake, Shasha immediately exclaimed: "Brother Lin, are you awake?!"
"Where is this?"
"We flew in the high-altitude corridor for seven or eight hours on the descent track of Jiazhou No. 2 Airport." Shasha said
Lin Xian sat up from the bed. The entire carriage was in a downward and tilted state. He immediately ran his mechanical heart and found that Chen Sixuan was using the horizon gate to control the descent speed. Everything seemed to be going well so far.
The black armored train continued to descend towards the ground. In the cockpit, Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian walking in, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Are you awake?"
"Is everything going well?" Seeing that the train was still sprinting at high speed, Lin Xian did not dare to be careless and began to control the train and adjust its posture.
"There are no other problems for the time being. I have increased the train speed to the fastest in the high-altitude corridor, but at our speed, it is several hours slower than others."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "As long as we come over, this is already the fastest speed we can escape from the night and the farthest distance we can cover in a short time."
All car traction platforms have been electromagnetically accelerated to reach a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour. Because trains such as the Silver Star and Longshan No. 1 are fully equipped, their speeds are not comparable to the Infinity train that Lin Xian configured at this time. It is normal that the speed cannot keep up. .
But for the team that has crossed the 4,500-kilometer Dazhu Plateau, it is temporarily free from the threat of the polar night.
"I wonder if anyone has stopped at Jiazhou Airport..."
"Others don't know, but Shu Qin and the others should be waiting for us," Lin Xian said.
After that night at the airport, he decided to expand the train on a large scale, like the Silver Star and Longshan No. 1, to bring more passengers and fully explore the potential of his mechanical heart. At the same time, an important issue needs to be solved, that is, the train’s all-terrain mobility capability.
The orbit around the star will pass through large cities, and there will also be many extreme areas, so it must have multiple route options like the Dawn Center of the Phoenix Order.
At this time, the gradient slowed down, the train rushed down the climbing track and began to slow down, and a large track hall appeared in sight.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The huge sound of the train echoed in the track hall, which seemed very empty, but there was no one as far as the eye could see. The No. 2 Airport in Jiazhou City was built on a mountain. The track, together with the underground tunnel, followed the tunnel all the way underground. Traveling along the track, we soon saw a bright light!
The Infinity train rushed out of the tunnel without stopping. Suddenly, the train was enveloped in dazzling sunlight, and all the carriages were illuminated. At the same time, a sense of warmth came with it.
"It's dawn?"
"The sun is so early..."
Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan felt their eyes sting. At this time, Shasha, KIKI and others also ran in.
Through the glass porthole, under the early sunshine, a quiet big city appeared in everyone's sight.
It was 7 o'clock in the morning, and the early morning sunshine was still very cold, but for the team that had just come from Yubei City in a snowstorm and low temperature environment, this temperature was already considered warm.
"Wow, I haven't seen the sun so early in a long time."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
KIKI walked over and exclaimed.
Chen Sixuan's eyes were leisurely, "It felt like he was coming back from the dead."
"We suddenly have a lot more time during the day," Shasha looked excited.
Hua Hua...
The train passed quickly on the high-speed elevated highway of the airport, and the scenery of the city in the distance fell into everyone's eyes, giving it a feeling that was both strange and familiar.
"4,500 kilometers, the area from Jiazhou to Longjiang is almost close to the middle zone between Star Abyss No. 3 and Star Abyss No. 5." Lin Xian said.
Shasha was very envious, "The people here are so lucky, they have more time during the day than other places..."
"That's what I say..." KIKI frowned and approached the car window and looked at the city in the distance: "But why do I feel that this city seems to be too quiet."
"It looks like a dead city."
"It stands to reason that there should be many survivors in the middle zone of the Star Abyss, right?"
Lin Xian shook his head, "It's too simple to think. Star abyss No. 3, No. 5, No. 7 are too close. Even if there is a temporary living space in between, it is just a frog boiled in warm water. Moreover, the dangers in the dark are the same. of..."
Cities further away from the Star Abyss do have more living space and time, but the night infection is also fatal, and because the distribution range and expansion speed of the Star Abyss are different, some areas covered by the polar night will The slower you get, the better your chance of survival will be.
Although Jiazhou City is far away from the rapidly expanding star abyss No. 3, it is not far away from the other star abyss No. 5 and No. 7. If the other two star abyss also expands rapidly, this area will be like an encirclement. , was quickly covered and swallowed.
"Population and city are all influencing factors." Ding Junyi came over at this time, stood in the distance and said: "Dingzhou, Lucheng, where No. 3 Xingyuan is located, is the densest urban area in Tianhai Province, and No. 1 in North America, Asia-Pacific European No. 2, European No. 9, and Republic No. 11 all belong to the dark wave. It is the abyss with the fastest tidal expansion. It is precisely because of this that the Phoenix Society advocates finding living space while moving, such as the polar ice caps of the Arctic. Coupled with the influence of polar daylight, it is very likely that there will be It is the last area covered by the polar night.”
"There is no star abyss there, but it is probably in the polar night now." Chen Sixuan responded.
"In four months, there will be polar daylight that lasts for six months. Coupled with the absence of the influence of dark tides, it will be the most suitable area for evacuation. The South Pole is currently also experiencing polar daylight, which is the same reason."
Lin Xian nodded, "Not bad. For us humans, it is equivalent to a shrinking safety zone."
As he said this, he felt inexplicably like a game from decades ago that required running viruses...
"Can that be called a safe zone?" KIKI was stunned: "That place is the polar region, there is nothing, how can people live there..."
Lin Xian turned around and glanced at her, and said meaningfully: "Believe me, when the polar night covers the world and monsters run everywhere, the sun-filled no-man's land will be the place that everyone dreams of belonging to. ”
