Old Dunling seems particularly cold in winter. The rising steam condenses into dew on the surface of the metal, and turns into frost covering it in the low temperature. People wear heavy clothes, and under the lights at night, a faint white mist rises and falls with their breathing.
Amid the cold, beneath the surface the ground was hotter than ever before. The heavy gates slowly opened, and the water from the Thames River poured in from the rusty corridor, passing through several layers of filters and finally reaching a depth of dozens of meters underground. The huge amount of water poured into the hot boiler, and then the machine started to turn, and hot gas rushed in the pipes.
It was a system that was densely spread underground like a spider web, with burning energy flowing through the paths and finally being infused into the inverted deep well.
The dark bottom turned deep red, pregnant with the power of science and technology. The next moment, hundreds of degrees of high-temperature steam gushed out and spread along the pre-installed pipes to the entire surface of Old Dunling. After a few minutes, the high-temperature steam filled the streets of Old Dunling.
This is a miracle of mankind. Everyone who sees it will kneel down and pray, because it is a huge monster that only appears in myths.
The Furnace Pillar System, the largest steam engine system in human history, was built underground in Old Dunling and provides energy for the entire Old Dunling. After decades of continuous expansion, it is like a steel tree rooted in Old Dunling, with its roots constantly expanding in all directions. Few people know its specific full picture.
Nicholas still had a dejected look on his face, but this time his expression was more serious. There was a smell of rust in the air. As his footsteps sounded, the light above his head became dim and flickered.
He stepped into the elevator and entered the password. The rusty steel slowly closed, the cable started to pull, and he fell into deeper darkness.
There are many secrets hidden underground in Old Dunling. It not only has complex furnace pillars, but also the subway system that runs through the entire Old Dunling. But what people don’t know is that deeper than all this is Inglvig’s highest scientific research institution, the location of the perpetual motion pump.
Down and down.
Suddenly, light shone in the dim darkness, the elevator door opened, and a new scene appeared in front of Nicholas' eyes. Scholars in white clothes paced back and forth in front of their respective instruments. From time to time, lightning flashed across the tall dome, hitting the insulating barrier and sparking dazzling sparks.
There was a python biting its own tail, entangled in the solid steel, turning into a symbol of infinity.
That is the symbol of the perpetual motion pump, which was confirmed by the first general manager of the perpetual motion pump. The highest goal it pursues is also very simple, just like the symbol and its name, a pump that never stops, a miraculous creation called a perpetual motion machine.
Thinking of this, Nicholas forced a self-deprecating smile on his face. Everyone here knew that perpetual motion machines could not exist. Even if they did, they only existed in so-called myths. But even so, they wanted to try and use science to create so-called miracles.
"Has the stuff arrived?"
Looking at the staff on the side, they knew very well what Nicholas wanted and answered.
