The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 562 No.20 Act Six. Investigation

The one-person-high gear rotates slowly, pulls the piston as a lever, and transmits the power to the distant gear. The energy is transmitted layer by layer, driving the huge mechanical long legs to move slowly. Although the mechanical long legs are very heavy, they can move It was very flexible when it got up, and it landed on the grass with almost no sound.

It can be seen that there are many shallow pits on the grass by the lake, which are left when the long mechanical legs move according to a fixed trajectory, day after day, without the slightest deviation.

Rosen was standing at the base of one of the long mechanical legs, looking at the complex mechanical movements at the connection. He stretched out a hand and used his senses to search for any clues.

The perception swept across the huge mechanical long legs, but did not find any trace of the source of power. These machines were moving as if they had vitality, and could not find the source of energy.

"I have a question from before, have these long mechanical legs malfunctioned for so many years?"

Rosen asked, looking at Fina at the side.

Fina is her own personality at this time, approaching the edge of the city, the wind has become much wilder, blowing her long water-blue hair, Fina holds down the messy hair at the back of her head with one hand, and the other hand Then he held down the hem of his skirt, and was a little confused about Rosen's question.

"Mr. Rosen, I don't understand something."

"No, don't worry, I'm just talking to myself."

Rosen shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​teasing Fina. She was still just a child, and there was a huge contrast with Aviana.

He took out a document from the law space, and quickly browsed through the contents.

This is a document that records the operating conditions of Greenwich in detail. However, due to the stability of the mechanical city, the entire document is very boring. Most of it is a certain year, a certain month, a certain month, what is the weather, and everything is running normally.

There are only two records that differ.

One of them is that 700 years ago, the mechanical city once had an abnormal stagnation for half an hour, and then returned to normal.

There is another one that was a few months ago, and it was also abnormally stagnant, but only for a quarter of an hour.

Events 700 years ago are basically undetectable today, but some clues can still be found about the malfunctions a few months ago.

Rosen looked at the scenery here for a while, and then waited for the arrival of an Ayr craftsman.

He has a beard and wears a tank top that shows off his muscular upper arms.

"Are you the craftsman who was inspecting the mechanical long legs at that time?"

Rosen asked and nodded when he saw the other party.

"My name is Avery, and I happened to be on the long leg of the machine when it broke down."

Although he had some doubts about Rosen wearing the helmet, he still answered truthfully.

"What were you doing at that time?"

Rosen asked, although he asked the Artisan Alliance to find Eli, but he still didn't know much about what he did that day.

"I'm overhauling the condition of the rail train."

Avery pointed to the winding track between the long mechanical legs.

“Rail trains need regular maintenance and I’m the one doing the maintenance on the long legs of the machinery while Greenwich is moving.”

"So, these tracks didn't exist on the long mechanical legs from the beginning?"

Rosen vaguely remembered that the rail train should have been built in the last few hundred years. Before it opened to traffic, the only way to get to and from Greenwich was by airships. Nowadays, airships have not declined because of this. After all, this is also the most convenient mode of transportation on the mainland. One of them, but more people choose to use land transportation to come to this workshop city.

"Of course, the rail train was built by master craftsmen using the gaps in the long legs of these machines. It took hundreds of years and is one of Greenwich's greatest prides."

Avery boasted proudly, looking at the looming track train looming between the long legs of the machine.

"Why is there a gap in it?"

Rosen's seemingly simple question made Avery speechless for a while.

It seems that no one has thought about this problem in all these years.

Lawson has seen the data of the mechanical long legs. It can be said that except for the energy of unknown origin, the remaining parts are not beyond the normal scope of mechanical engineering. The materials used can be reproduced relatively easily even at the current level. , there is nothing special about the structure.

In other words, it is the result of a normal mechanical industry.

As for the gap, Rosen thought of several explanations. It not only has the function of reducing weight and wind resistance, but also facilitates maintenance, and even has some design aesthetics mixed in it.

But these are not necessary, because exposing the internal structure means that if it is used by others, it will easily break through its weaknesses. From a fortress that existed during the jihad period and may have withstood the flames of war, this is not the case. optimal option.

"I don't know that. Maybe it's not a reason for a little person like me to know."

Eli spread his hands and admitted.

"Then Mr. Avery, put this question aside first, can you repeat what special sight you saw when the mutation happened?"

Although it cannot be concluded that the stagnation of the mechanical city is related to the shrinking furnace, Rosen believes that what Avery said next will be of great reference value. He has read the report on related documents, but he still feels that actually talking with Avery can gain more Information.

"Uh, I have already reported this before when the incident was handled, do I have to say it again?"

Avery was a little hesitant. He looked at Fina beside Rosen, wondering why such a young girl would come to investigate such a thing.

"Please speak."

Rosen replied.

"Well, I was testing the rail train at the third joint of the long mechanical leg, that part."

Avery pointed to a part of the long mechanical legs.

"My usual work is mainly to check whether the track is normal. It was a routine inspection that day, and I didn't find any problems. Then suddenly, there was a vibration from the long mechanical legs, and then stopped."

"I didn't dare to move around at will, and hurriedly used the orbital node's communicator to contact the city, but surprisingly found that the communication was interrupted. That was the first time I saw this situation. It can also be used in storms as usual."

Ai Li said with lingering fear. He could imagine how he was alone at high altitude and helpless.

"Then I started moving upwards thinking I was going back to the city first, and that's when I saw that."

Rosen knew that Avery was about to tell the weirdest part of his experience, which was regarded as an illusion caused by Avery's fear and nervousness in the literature.

"What do you see?"

Rosen asked.
