Chapter 535
Until one day, upright people discovered steam...
The lives of Homo erectus changed dramatically from then on.
They were inspired by the kettle and proposed a new natural science. The creations of Homo erectus evolved from primitive shells to pottery and bronze. Over the centuries, driven by the brains and wisdom of Homo erectus, the products derived from "natural science" changed with each passing day.
There are spires in the clouds that almost touch the edge of the sky, and submersibles that dive into the ocean to a depth of over 10,000 meters.
Homo erectus reached the heavens and the earth, possessing all abilities. They called themselves scholars and established regions called nations. This was the heyday of Homo erectus.
The picture freezes.
The old era faded away and a new era began. All kinds of bizarre technologies and knowledge that were beyond the imagination of ordinary people washed over Liang Zicheng's soul like a rushing river.
The deep space power that had been buried in the history of the old times and had once brought destruction to the earth also revealed its tip to Liang Zicheng.
The secret of the "core" has always been in the hands of the shelter, but now, this tip of the iceberg is no longer theirs alone.
There is one more ordinary person named Shen Bei.
"Is he an ordinary person?"
This is the question Liang Zicheng has been thinking about.
Not like.
Very well disguised.
Even though the core's surface was covered, he could still identify it accurately.
Either the core master or the core master's lackey.
What's more, I heard that Shen Bei killed a tenth-level mutant last night.
Everything in the shelter runs on steam energy.
If anyone were to peek into his core, he would be the most unsuccessful and sinful leader of all time.
Like...the last emperor.
"Is Shen Bei giving me a hint or an ultimatum?"
Liang Zicheng is difficult to estimate.
But he felt a sense of uneasiness, which had been lingering since Shen Bei stepped into the shelter.
At this time, the machine tool made a sharp humming sound, the flames were blazing, and the gears were turning. Liang Zicheng wore single-sided copper-framed glasses, and his thin shadow flickered in the dark room. Occasionally, one could see the shadows of various unnamed steam tools in his hands, waving their fangs and claws in the firelight.
After a while, a set of peculiarly shaped steam equipment gradually took shape under Liang Zicheng's hands.
It consists of a brass mask that covers the nose, mouth and chin, connected to a single-handed copper arm armor and a pair of shin guards of the same color. At first glance, it looks like a tattered half-suit of single-soldier armor.
Liang Zicheng sat on the ground, rolled up his trouser legs, put on leg guards, and gently turned the spring. Two key chains cruelly pierced Liang Zicheng's legs. His eyes bulged out, he straightened his neck and groaned, and sweat immediately broke out on the tip of his nose.
After about two minutes, Liang Zicheng stood up and walked back and forth a few steps without any discomfort.
Liang Zicheng put on the brass mask expressionlessly. The brown pipes connected his single-arm armor and leg guards. The stains on his body, the sweat and the bulky brass equipment gave him a psychedelic doomsday steam style.
Click!
Finally, Liang Zicheng put on his right arm armor and looked around his dilapidated room. Everywhere was the wreckage of machines that he had dismantled and reused.
There is only one pocket-sized steam-powered soldier, which is still well preserved.
It is only about sixty or seventy centimeters tall, with a slender and smooth structural curve, unlike an ordinary soldier who is bulky. The curves of its steel limbs are the same as its muscles. Two steam pipes run from bottom to top, passing through its ribs and shoulders. Its neck is empty, and there is no head.
Each part of a single soldier can be disassembled and worn, and can even complete some simple combat actions independently without human operation.
Liang Zicheng stared at the pocket-sized single-handed weapon for a while, reached into the weapon and fumbled around for a while, then turned a knob. The entire weapon suddenly fell apart and was disassembled into parts all over the floor.
