Chapter 546 The Statue of the Sound Line Supervisor
Yale Liga walked into the bridge room to check the railway that Qiaoqiao Tianyi had mentioned.

Before setting off, she discussed with Qiaoqiao Tianyi whether to install a complete visualization system on the Silence.It was a holistic project, so they didn't do it rashly in the end, but made a simpler substitute.After the orientation cores of all the automatic detectors were damaged, Qiaoqiao Tianyi changed them into short-range detectors to explore the ground through short-wave communication.In the bridge room, they also installed supporting projection facilities, enough to do the simplest environment simulation.

This is exactly what Allerica saw in the bridge room.She passed through the transparent phantom created by the stereo projection lamp, and came to the land thousands of miles away from them.On the white salt crust landform, she saw the railway that Qiaoqiao Tianyi mentioned.

It's real, made of wood and metal, and at first glance looks like a typical design you'll often find in trap belts.Because the sleepers were not made of artificial stone or metal, but black fibrous wood hooped with iron rings, this railway obviously couldn't bear the high load and speed per hour.It's the kind of design that's still early, even in primitive civilizations, and probably has to match fossil fuels and reciprocating power machines.

This is the judgment Yale Liga gave to the railway in the chasm at the first glance.That's not to say she'd completely overlooked some of the oddities of the railroad, but both she and Skywing were overly excited to discover the significance of the railroad itself.What they were eager to find out was not the details of the construction of the railway, but how long it had existed, and—whether it was still in use.The probe was still traveling along the railroad, scouting for possible sites, but Yareriga had found encouraging signs in that impromptu simulation.That said, she realized that the railroad wasn't even covered in dust.

They immediately set out to land, to see this new discovery for themselves.At this time, more than [-] hours have passed since their departure. For the cat people in the lion pride, this is already equivalent to one-fifth of the growth period.They never met the killer with magic eyes again.Skywing began to argue that the killer was probably dead, or had some sort of serious injury permanently out of the dirty business.Although this point of view is very tempting, Yale Liga still insists on bringing enough armor and weapons every time she goes out.

The Silence finally landed a little farther from the railway, in a mangrove forest formed by giant tamarisk plants.They were very similar to the ones Yaleriga had seen on the surface of the chasm, but redder in color.From this, they know that there are some basic atmospheric environments here—Yaleliga has done some research on this point on the way, and she has kept these materials, planning to give some to some of her mage friends after she goes out. material.Naturally, she might ask for something in return, after all, she now has a boat of her own to decorate.

That's after going out.She and Qiaoqiao Tianyi walked out of the mangrove forest and came to the very meaningful simple railway.Until this moment, Yale Liga saw the true appearance of the track, and the details that had caught her attention in the bridge room before became more specific and more confusing.

That didn't change the general structure of the railway, but it seemed to imply other functions.Among the iron hoops that held the sleepers in place, she found evenly spaced steel nails, deep into the ground.In the bridge room she used it as a kind of not-so-sophisticated spike design to keep sleepers in place.However, when she carefully compared all the steel nails on a section of railway, she found that some of them were significantly different.They are thinner in shape and are installed in locations that are not suitable for stationary use.A very thin black film is stuffed in the gap between these weird spikes and the sleepers, extending from the bottom of the sleepers to the inside of the rail.

Yareriga had seen many kinds of primitive mechanical vehicles, but she couldn't immediately see the purpose of these black membranes.They're clearly not dust cloths or lubricating materials, and they don't seem to help with heat dissipation.

"You know this?" She asked Qiaoqiao Tianyi.

"Hmm... that's a weird thing. I don't think I've seen one before. I guess I'll have to see the whole structure to know what it's for."

Qiaoqiao Tianyi hangs his neck by the railroad track, his eyes stick to the gap between the railroad track and the ground, and he looks inside hard.The horns on her head emit a soft silver light, and the eyes also emit light like lamp tubes.Yareriga heard a slight movement in the rails, like the crackling of electricity when there is a bad connection.

"Oh, oh, so..."

Qiaoqiao Tianyi flicked her tail, letting out intermittent exclamations.She seemed to find something so interesting that she even forgot to share it with Allerica right away.Yareriga could understand her interest in this matter, but she didn't forget to stay on her guard.She still had the polyphase radar on, and she also kept an eye on whether the amulet on her body was glowing and vibrating.

"That's really unheard of...not that it's terribly unimaginable, but...oh, I guess it's only available here. Yes, it would work if there was such a device...um..."

When Qiaoqiao Tianyi raised her head, she seemed to have an answer.The dignity and majesty she had lost for a long time returned to her body, and she nodded with satisfaction like a queen patrolling her territory.

"It's a great catch," she announced.

Allerica motioned for her to speak more clearly.So she stood up straight and tapped the rails in front of her with her front hoof.

"Correction to my notice," she said. "It's not just a railroad, Yalai, it's electrified. It's an electric track."

"electricity?"

"Yes. It's not hard to imagine. You see we've come to a place where we can't see outside celestial bodies at all. Those things that are shining in the sky now are either land fragments with magma and radiocrystallization, or they are just pure illusions— —Actually, it is not in our space at all, it is just the shadow cast by the waves. The light and heat from the outer layer they can use is very little. In this case, if the residents here can develop anything, electricity is a kind of Good option. But they don't run off fuel or tidal power, you see, they don't have reliable gravitational pull, nor can they necessarily find deposit-like energy in their own fragments."

"So?"

"By sound. I think so."

When she said this, Yale Liga had already thought about it a lot.She gently tapped the small part of the exposed black film: "A power generation device?"

"A crystal cavity piezo, or something like that, I think. When it vibrates, it releases electricity. I think it's a special material that resonates more easily with certain frequencies of sound."

"But where does the sound come from?" asked Allerica.

When she said it, the answer had already faintly emerged in her heart.She saw Qiaoqiao Tianyi lower her head slightly, as if with a little awe.

"The sound in this chasm," she replied. "We've checked, and there's always been a strong infrasound here, and the sound pressure gets louder as you go down. But it's usually stable within two star distances. And then there are these extra thin nails that are actually a kind of pipe that goes down very deep into the ground... I can't probe very far, but I know they're over three and a half feet long... I Guess they're wires, Yalai. But they're not for electricity, they're sound wires! Since this land is still in the process of collapsing, the crustal movement at the bottom of it must be making a lot of noise, and those strong, high-pitched sound waves are more directional, and more likely to cause the material to vibrate. Oh, I don't know whether to admire or feel sorry for them, what a brutal natural resource. You know what I mean?"

"They are creating electricity with the sound of destruction under their feet."

"That's exactly what I mean. But there are still a few problems that I haven't figured out. This membrane-covered power generation material doesn't seem to be naturally formed. Before they mastered this material..."

Some changes interrupted Qiaoqiao Tianyi's words.Both she and Yale Liga looked towards the end of the railway track. In this world under the abyss where there was no horizon, a pair of perfect eyes could look out from any direction and easily see the end of the world.They don't have such idealized eyes, but they can see farther than on a small spherical celestial body: a pinpoint-sized faint light appears in the dark, and then zooms in extremely slowly.The shimmer spread evenly to the surrounding area, split into two at a certain moment, and turned into a long string again.By this time Yareriga could make out its wheels on the track, and every window with its steady light.

A train is coming towards them in this bottomless chasm.Its iron shell is very old, and rust spots are all over every car like moss.The shadows of creatures swayed inside the car windows, almost 100% announcing to them that there are still remaining civilizations in this world.But at that moment, Yale Liga failed to discover this exciting fact immediately.She saw something else, and was almost completely drawn to it.

That was the front car. According to common sense logic, it was the front of the car with the control room.Under the faint but reliable light, the front of the car showed a very human silhouette.It is a carriage and at the same time a gigantic statue, a statue showing a human face.The face was dull and dull with haggardness.The rust all over the carriage has never let go of its shrunken, wrinkled face, and its eyes, sunken deep in the bottom of the eye sockets, are also the two front windows of the train, as pale as a monster in a nightmare shine.Two groups of towering shadows are distributed on both sides of its cheeks, and some outlines are vaguely illuminated.Those were the statue's bulging, overdeveloped and bloated ears.
