"This era needs to change, and I agree with that."
Jenkins nodded, and the gear man walked to the door of the silverware store, easily tore off the chain on the door, pushed the door open and walked in. Jenkins followed, returning to the static Papa's Antiques with the Gear Man.
"Since you agree with change, why don't you agree with me? Everything in the world will be turned into metal, and order will be re-established, efficient and orderly, and an absolutely correct order. After the arrival of the land of steel, I will even worry about being transformed. The emotional and interest issues of metal life forms, this is also the manifestation of my approval of the rich emotional function of human beings after I have a soul. You agree with my ideas, why are you unwilling to help me?"
The gear man asked as he returned to the counter, and when he turned to face Jenkins again, he asked:
"Or, do you just want yourself to be in charge of such an order, instead of establishing it with me?"
"This is the only way you have calculated to solve the problems of human civilization?"
Jenkins asked back.
"Of course not. There are many ways, but I think this way is the most efficient."
"You see, that's why I don't agree with you."
Jenkins handed the diamond representing the "Majestic Heart" to the other party, and the gearman also stored it in the space on his chest, but when he opened the space, the first "Heart of Selfless Devotion" was gone.
"I have also seen the problem you mentioned, but the solution I think is definitely not adding a thing that controls everything on top of humans."
The Difference Engine shook its head and did not continue the debate with Jenkins:
"Then let's go ahead and choose. We still have five goals. You will always understand that what I said is correct."
"I don't think so."
Jenkins continued to look at the map while talking. The cat on the shoulder yawned uncontrollably, and it was still wondering why it hadn't started. If you don't fight again, you will miss dinner time when you leave the strange place in a while.
Thinking of dinner, thinking of the sin coins that Jenkins fed it when he was on the boat. Chocolate shrank his head subconsciously, and decided to endure it for a while longer, before Jenkins showed his attitude towards it, he had to be more obedient and well-behaved.
"Since we walked around the city just now, let's take a look outside the city..."
There are still many points that do not belong to the urban area. Jenkins finally pointed to the right side of the map, which is the east in the real sense:
"Let's go to the mine and have a look."
The brass statue next to the red dot near the eastern mine is a thin man with no shirt on and a standard squatting posture. He was wearing a miner's hat, with no clothes on his upper body, and his thin figure could be seen. His lower body was made of trousers whose trouser legs only reached below the knee, and there were many traces of wear on the trousers. As for the feet, there are a pair of cloth shoes, and the one on the right has its toes exposed.
His right hand is leaning on the ground, and his left hand is holding the statue of a pickaxe standing on the map. It looks like he is struggling to stand up.
Combined with the location of the mine, there is no need to think too much about the occupation and identity of the characters that need to be faced this time.
"Are you sure you choose this place?"
Gearman confirmed.
"Yes, let's go."
So, the two jumped into the map one after the other. This time Jenkins was holding chocolate. Although the naughty cat was very interested in this kind of high-altitude flight, Jenkins still felt safer.
The two people and the cat did not directly reach the inside of the mine, and when they fell slowly from a high altitude and landed on the ground, they were at the entrance of a certain mine. They stood on the side of the railroad track, the ground was covered with coal slag, and was constantly beaten by the rain.
One end of the track is connected to a dark mine, and carloads of coal are transported out of it. After further processing, it can enter the local market and even be sold all over the world through steam trains and ships at the dock.
Of course, these minecarts are now at a standstill, because time is still not flowing at this moment.
"This way."
The cogman led the way, and Jenkins followed it into the mine, and time began to flow as they walked. This is the first time that Jenkins has entered the mine that is still in use. It is not as dark as he imagined. There are steam pipes and gas pipes laid along the main road of the mine, so there are actually that kind of simple holes on the inner wall of the mine. of gaslights.
Mining is not about hollowing out the inside of a mountain and digging down into a huge space. The more traditional mine structure is still used here, but it is probably a rich mine, so the main mine is excavated quite well, and the support to prevent the mine from collapsing is also quite stable.
But after walking a few steps, he left the main road with railway tracks. After entering the branch road and going down dozens of steps, the gas pipeline did not continue to extend, and there was only a kerosene lamp with a faint light in front of it. After walking dozens of steps, I finally saw the end of the mine.
At this time, the passage was already very narrow, and Jenkins had to pay attention to bow his head.
The bare-chested man, who was exactly the same as the statue on the map, was leaning against the side wall of the mine to rest. Because Jenkins didn't interact with him, the man didn't even look up at Jenkins and Cogman even though they didn't hide their footsteps.
Such a posture, if you smoke a low-quality hand-rolled cigarette, it will be more in line with the atmosphere. But smoking is not allowed in the mine, not to mention the ventilation problem, the most important thing is the gas leakage, no one wants to die from a smoke.
"So what's the goal this time?"
Jenkins hugged the cat and asked, the mine is very dangerous. In order to prevent Chocolate from running around, Jenkins decided to temporarily deprive Chocolate of the right to act casually before leaving the mine. Chocolate welcomes this.
"The goal this time is 'Never Tiring Heart'."
"Never get tired?"
Jenkins said in surprise:
"I don't think you have the ability to joke just yet, do you?"
"Of course this is not a joke. These miners have supported the foundation of this era. They earn meager income, take huge risks and life loss, and dig in the mine day and night. Except for 'never tired ', I can't explain this behavior."
The wisdom of the Difference Engine would not say such a stupid thing, the other party was just avoiding Jenkins' question, unwilling to tell him the key to the third mission.
But since the question has been raised, then the "never tired heart" must exist, which is the basic rule of Paradise.
"I always feel that this third mission is full of black humor."
"I don't know what dark humor is."
said the Gear Man, and motioned for Jenkins to start.
