Chapter 102: Divine Machine (Updated)

The caravan continued on its journey, and everyone was feeling quite relaxed.

It's hard not to relax, as it's unlikely that they'll encounter any monsters along the way that can shake this caravan.

In order to destroy this caravan, there must be at least one monster above the third level, with a bunch of second level monsters, right?

Such a super demon cave must have been destroyed long ago.

It's not because of any need to eliminate harm for the people, it's simply because the monsters in the third realm are quite valuable.

Few people are willing to serve others, but a lot of people are eager to do things that make money.

There was no danger anymore and there was nothing to do for the time being. Out of boredom and to test his current level, Gao Jian found something for himself to do.

He is making a deduction.

Gao Jian wanted to try to use the round mirror that was exposed the moment the third-level person made his move to figure out the whereabouts of the third-level person.

It's hard.

But, it's interesting.

The Xuanhuatongmen Dadaoge is a very extensive martial art. Gao Jian knows that the more than eighty founders of this martial art did not simply create a martial art.

If that were the case, the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty would not have summoned them. After all, creating a new technique was nothing. Gao Jian himself could half-copy and half-modify a seemingly authentic method of practicing a certain realm.

To be precise, these eighty-odd people are the founders of a "school" and have created an unprecedented way of thinking. Many of the skills of this school have to originate from them and have been gradually improved. They can be regarded as "ancestors" of a certain type.

Moreover, all these ideas can be found in the Xuanhua Tongmen Dao Ge, they are just divided into stages according to the number of levels.

Gao Jian has now mastered the third level, that is to say, all the available ideas within the three realms are recorded as "extracurricular research".

For the students of the Imperial College eight hundred years ago, these were optional. They could just study what they liked. There were no hard requirements and they were not included in their grades.

But for Gao Jian, he had already memorized them all.

Now that I have memorized it, there is no problem in using it, right? It is a good time to try it now.

So……

If the shape is round, it must be a round rather than square vessel.

Looking at the way the components are assembled, there seems to be a pattern to it.

A few big parts equal a few small parts.

Five feet is called a mo; twice as long is called a zhang.

Double the length is called "duan". Double the length is called "liang".

Double the two is called a pi, and five pi is called a shu.

If we calculate according to this ratio...

It's true, it matches. In other words, the disc that doesn't reflect light, in fact, the various runes and parts on it are symbols of weights and measures.

What is this sign for?
What things have weights and measures engraved on them?

Flip through the book.

Really, let’s see…

"The sage guards against chaos with the classics and the art, and corrects the music with the standard..."

"Musical instruments? It's possible. As the saying goes, the law of rhythm and lü can determine yin and yang, the time of day, the Yuanchen, and the five notes."

"The lacquered bamboo is one foot long and has six holes, symbolizing the sound of the twelfth month. It is called a pipe because it penetrates the ground. The sheng is four inches long and has twelve reeds, like the body of a phoenix. It is the sound of the first month, and it is called a sheng because it is alive."

"The scale itself records the measurement and balance. The origin of the scale is derived from it. Seven tunes make one balance, and twelve balances make eighty-four tunes as a complete set. To inspire good morals and customs, to honor gods and to assist the wise, the harmony of the scale must be achieved. The theory is to match five notes with five positive and two changes, which are repeated as the main ones, and then 84 tunes are derived. In the old days, the five notes of Gong, Zheng, Shang, Yu, and Jiao were matched with seven sounds in sequence, and then two sounds of Chang Gong and Chang Zheng were added to make up the number. The theory of rotating and generating each other is that the five elements are in conflict with each other, which is not true."

According to the actual twelve musical notes, if we use the inch method, Huang Zhong, Lin Zhong and Tai Chui can get a full inch; if we use the fen method, Nan Lü and Gu Xi can get a full fen; if we use the li method, Ying Zhong and Rui Bin can get a full li; if we use the hao method, Dalü and Yi can get a full hao.

If we split it up by musical instrument...

Gao Jian continued to deduce and analyze.

The so-called "hao, li, cun" and other weights and measures are based on the twelve musical notes, and are used to determine the scales of ancient and modern times using vertical and horizontal measurements.

"So, it's not just a disc. If it's considered a musical instrument, the things painted on it should also be related to these."

Gao Jian continued to flip through the book, using his own understanding as he did so.

So, that thing is actually a round chime.

Although this person knows about mechanical engineering and can operate such mechanisms and use complex magic weapons, he is neither an alchemist nor a mechanical engineer, but a musician?
But, he is using this thing to cover up his true identity?

is it?

Gao Jian did not pursue the truth, such as asking the other party whether it was true or continuing to observe.

In fact, he didn't care what the third realm was. It was just a test for himself.

He looked at the results of his tests and suddenly felt that he seemed to have become truly knowledgeable.

The third level of the Xuanhuatongmen Dao Ge really involves some "uncommon sense" in the world of cultivation. These things seem to involve the general principles of some cultivation methods.

Moreover, these are the things that he truly remembers in his mind. The things he obtains through understanding the charm of the soul are actually his.

My current self...

That’s so awesome!

Strong body, smart mind, all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, unity, precision and perfection!

Bucket Man himself is so awesome!
Just as Gao Jian was marveling at his profound knowledge, Dansha's voice in his head rang again: "You are really... optimistic. But it's true. You seem to be quite capable."

"So, you can definitely take me back to the East China Sea, right?" Dansha's voice seemed to finally relax a little.

"I've already said it. I don't have the habit of breaking my promises," Gao Jian replied.

Dansha was silent for a long time.

Then, about a quarter of an hour later, she stammered, lowered her head, blushed, and said, "Then I really... believe you... You don't know, this is rare, my trust is as rare as the big He Luo fish..." She emphasized: "It's so rare that you should thank me in return!"

"Thank you so much." Gao Jian said casually with a smile.

Dansha is just a child. Although she is a little big, Gao Jian still treats her as a child. There is no need to be too demanding.

After saying this, Dansha once again went into the Divine Pass.

This time, she neither continued to look at Gao Jian's heart lake, nor let Gao Jian look at her own, as if she had really disappeared.

Gao Jian ignored all that and continued to follow the convoy.

The speed of the convoy was not slow. It would only take one or two days to reach Yue'an, which was a thousand or two thousand miles away.

However, the mechanical beasts need to be inspected, charged, oiled, maintained, etc. at night. In order to ensure the sustainable working ability of the mechanical beasts, the team will take a rest at night. After the inspection, they will set off the next morning and arrive at noon the next day.

No one had any objection to this, including Gao Jian.

As for repairing the car, there is nothing we can do about it.

So, after a day of traveling, the convoy stopped at a settlement.

That’s right, a settlement.

Is this a... garbage dump?

"There are actually people living in a place like this. How do they survive?" Gao Jian looked around and asked curiously.

There is actually such a place in this place where there is no village or shop nearby.

You can see that this place is full of garbage.

And it’s not ordinary kitchen waste, which is usually used as fertilizer for growing vegetables.

What really turns this place into a garbage dump are the spare parts.

This place was filled with a huge amount of spare parts and a large number of scrapped machines. Gao Jian saw several large mechanical beasts, only half of which were lying in the desert, which was extremely spectacular.

The huge machine that has lost its vitality and majesty has been occupied by countless dark brown rust.

A river filled with black sewage surrounds a giant machine paralyzed in the wilderness.

In the river, there was an ugly, blackened iron ship, which was passing through the black sewage river at a completely unscientific silent speed and came to the side of the mechanical beast that Gao Jian and others were riding.

The people on it also looked dirty, a bunch of skinny craftsmen, holding some tools, wearing linen shorts common among civilians in the Divine Dynasty, sitting on the boat, each doing their own work.

An old man with several missing teeth came over from the boat and said, "New guest? First time here?"

"It's not new." The yellow-skinned and pockmarked woman poked her head out and said, "It's just a new caravan. I came from Digong Town. Old man, arrange a few people to repair these guys we have now."

"Okay, so do you live in town? Or outside?" the old man asked again.

"We will live inside the office and won't go inside. Oh, by the way, is there anyone who wants to move around freely? Please let us know in advance. We will spend a whole night inspecting the parts." The yellow-skinned and pockmarked woman turned around and said to the person in the cow's stomach.

Gao Jian was the first to raise his hand: "My bones hurt from the bumpy ride. I'm going to go down and take a walk around this town."

The woman nodded and said, "Okay, remember to come back before tomorrow morning. We'll stop here and let him fix it. By the way, do you know where this is?"

"I don't know, where is it?" Gao Jian shook his head.

Such small places would not be recorded in the song of Xuanhua Tongmen Avenue.

"Do you know Digong Town? Several hundred years ago, a mechanism master of the Divine Dynasty and an old monster in the East China Sea had a feud and fought with each other. One of the five-realm mechanisms was broken, and the wreckage fell into this place. Later, some greedy people came to dig it up. More and more people gathered here, and it became a big deal. Later, the nearby immortal gates and county towns sent the mechanism wreckage that they could not deal with here. It looks like this now. Although it looks like a ruin, it can be regarded as a newly established immortal gate. Just take a walk and keep it to yourself." The woman with yellow pockmarks advised Gao Jian.

Many practitioners like to show off, but I still have to remind them that this place is not a place for ordinary people, it is actually one of the immortal gates.

The wreckage of a fifth-level mechanism, as well as an endless supply of unwanted mechanism wreckage from other places, someone used these garbage to build a fairy gate here, and it seemed that he specialized in the mechanism business.

Not all immortal sects are high and mighty and have an immortal demeanor. In fact, there are thousands of paths of cultivation, and there are all kinds of practitioners. In the Divine Dynasty alone, there are hundreds of different schools, which were called the "Hundred Schools". The number of unconventional methods outside the Divine Dynasty is even more difficult to count.

"Okay, I understand. Thanks for the reminder." Gao Jian nodded and walked down Niu Jiguan's belly.

In her mind, Dansha asked, "What are you doing here? Isn't it safe enough to stay with that third-level person and a bunch of second-level people? Do you have to come down here alone?"

"It's safer to come down and hide the mixed cause and effect, and it won't implicate them." Gao Jian explained.

If there really are pursuers behind us, then if we gather together we will all be killed in one fell swoop. But if we go down alone, even if the pursuers catch up here, they will not be able to find us from the convoy. We can hide and seek in the ruins, which is safer. After coming down, it will be more difficult to confuse the cause and effect of this place, making it more difficult for divination to find us.

Gao Jian added, "Besides, I also want to broaden my horizons. Don't you think this place is interesting? It was developed based on the remains of a five-level mechanism."

Dansha was confused: "Learn more? Aren't you knowledgeable enough? You can tell other people's whereabouts at a glance. I think you already know a lot."

"What I know are nothing but castles in the air. Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles, you understand? Many times, what you see in the book does not match the reality, especially since my book was written eight hundred years ago. With the speed of development of the Divine Dynasty... it's hard to say how many new schools of thought can emerge in eight hundred years." Gao Jian explained.

As he spoke, he had already jumped across the river as if no one was around, entered the ruins in full view of everyone, turned a corner, and disappeared into the ruins.

Things like the wreckage of mechanisms carry all kinds of impurities, which are the key to the operation of the mechanisms, but are incompatible with the surrounding environment and have no vitality at all.

This means that places where mechanical ruins are everywhere are destined to be barren. The energy fluctuations of the mechanical ruins and various impurities will interfere with the normal operation of the heaven and earth, making it impossible for life forms such as weeds to be born normally.

"You are... quite strange. You are obviously a warrior, and a reckless man who claims to be courageous. But why do you like these brain-intensive things so much?"

"Read more books, read more newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more. Knowledge is power, don't you understand?" Gao Jian pointed to his brain.

It is true that he is a warrior, but the principle of scientific exercise and strengthening the brain first is the same everywhere.

"I hate reading the most." Dansha's voice was muffled.

"That's why you're stupid." Gao Jian said. He had already walked into the ruins.

As soon as he came in, he immediately smelled a stench, and it was not an ordinary rotten stench, but a smell mixed with mineral poison gas.

It was a smell similar to burning plastic, which made him cover his mouth and nose.

This stuff is poisonous.

Then he saw the source of the smell.

A group of dirty children were holding a bunch of small mechanical beast parts in their hands and burning them in the fire.

----------

When standing far away, I couldn't see it so clearly.

Only when he actually came down did Gao Jian really see what this "mountain gate" was like.

What cannot be ignored is the huge remains of a mechanism towering into the sky. That should be the remains of the so-called "Five Realms" mechanism. The thing visible to the naked eye is emitting an uncomfortable pressure.

A group of small houses made of discarded parts, tightly arranged together, surrounded the huge mechanism, forming a town. The area covered was not small, and these small houses should be spread over a radius of dozens of miles.

The cabin was built on top of a garbage dump, with a pile of discarded mechanical parts at its feet.

The hut is the foot of the mountain, the wreckage is the mountain, and above the mountain is probably the gate to the immortal sect.

It's quite strange, a wasteland immortal sect? And there is actually such a pile of discarded parts on the land of the Divine Dynasty.

But think about it,

Garbage everywhere, high population density and toxic smoke everywhere constitute the main theme here.

A large number of spare parts were being burned. They were thrown on the ground roughly, using the lubricating oil of the mechanical beasts as fuel and burning. The entire Digong Town was a big spare parts garbage dump, with stinky ditches flowing beside them.

Black smoke billowed, and one could see that the runes engraved on the parts and the ink used were being burned by the flames, turning into black smoke and dissipating into the air.

Of course, things will not disappear out of thin air. These dissipated impurities will enter the air, making this place full of this special poisonous gas. If you stay here for a long time, you will definitely be affected.

It is obvious that runes are needed for the operation of the mechanical beast, and runes need specific ink and some auxiliary materials to be engraved on the parts to make them effective.

Speaking of which, Gao Jian was very surprised at first. Why some special symbols, drawn with special materials on parts or even a piece of paper, could have such magical effects.

Then he thought of circuit boards.

Isn't it the same with circuit boards? Use solder to draw a special circuit diagram on a piece of plastic, so this thing can control many things and even make sophisticated chips.

This is what I think.

This also extends to what Bai Ping and Gao Jian said at the beginning.

“Words themselves have power.”

Obviously, these circuit diagrams and runes have power in themselves, so they need to be burned to remove the original influence, leaving only the parts themselves, and then these parts can be sold to others.

People who buy such parts can use these cleaned second-hand parts to assemble their own mechanical beasts.

This kind of garbage collection is very efficient, so there are places like this everywhere.

Gao Jian could see that numerous garbage parts were piled up into a mountain here. Many half-grown children were looking for treasures in the mountain, carrying a backpack to collect garbage, and then throwing the garbage into the fire.

There are practitioners manipulating the fire. It is unclear who their master is, but they seem to be some quacks. They use fire control techniques to continuously stimulate the fire, keeping the fire in a range that does not melt or soften the parts, but can burn off the runes engraved on them, so as not to damage the precious parts.

Such recycling sites seem to be the main source of income for this place.

Gao Jian took out a gold coin from his belt, found a sorcerer who was making a fire on the street, threw the gold coin into the sky, and then grabbed it.

The other person's eyes were fixed on the gold the whole time, and only after Gao Jian grabbed the gold did he look at Gao Jian.

Gao Jian also looked at the other person.

The man was wearing a dirty robe, was about thirty years old, and had a small moustache. It seemed that he had just reached the first level of cultivation, but his breathing was weak, which should be a sign of an unstable foundation. Moreover, he definitely did not open the Jingguan. Judging from the technique he used to stimulate flames, the first level of this person should be the Qihai.

The fire-controlling technique performed by the opponent was also very strange. It looked like a mixture of Taoist fire-controlling techniques, mechanical techniques, and a bit of fire curse from witches and shamans.

Therefore, Gao Jian judged that this was a sorcerer, and his skills were not that profound. It was just a rough practice method put together from many things, and it was not very sophisticated.

"Brother, how much can you earn in a day?" Gao Jian asked.

"Eight hundred coins a day." The other party obviously realized what Gao Jian was going to do. He seemed a little impatient and smiled with a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"I came here to collect folk songs and write a travelogue. Can you help me lead the way and introduce the situation here and the general situation of this immortal gate? I will give you one gold. How about that?"

One gold coin is worth ten thousand coins, which is about half a month's wages for a cultivator at the first level.

Obviously, Gao Jian has already seen that the status of the practitioners in Yuezhou is much lower than that in Cangzhou, but they earn much more money.

In Cangzhou, the people who live in this area are generally foremen in the outer city of Cangzhou, and respectable people like the owners of martial arts schools. In fact, they only earn more than ten gold coins a year. Some earn more, but only more than twenty gold coins.

A cultivator of the first realm in Cangzhou earns more than ten gold coins a year, and has a decent job and a high status, so he can be considered to have made it.

In Yuezhou, the job is not considered decent, and this kind of fire controller should be the lowest level, but the annual income is steadily more than 30 gold, and the salary alone is 28 gold, and 100% of them have extra income, so it is very easy to make more than 30 gold a year.

Then we can make a comparison.

Cangzhou is indeed a poor place with low wages, and the status of practitioners is relatively high because there are relatively few practitioners.

In Yuezhou, practitioners have high salaries, but correspondingly low status, and prices are also higher.

It's like the difference between college students in big cities and those in small towns.

After hearing Gao Jian's words, the other party was overjoyed. Who wouldn't want to earn half a month's wages in one day? He immediately patted his chest and agreed: "Okay! I've worked here for more than ten years, I know everything! Just ask me if you have any questions!"

"Can we stop the work here?"

"Yes, anytime!" He ended the spell directly, and saw the flames stopped immediately.

The kids immediately got angry and some of them started shouting, "Hey, Old Deng, we paid for it!"

"Alright, alright, I'll refund you all. There's also an extra fifty coins for each person. Come and get it. I'm happy today!" The sorcerer waved his hand and took out a dozen strings of copper coins, all of which were hung on his waist.

Pretty good at pretending.

"Master, please wait a little longer. These guys are waiting for money to eat. I'll pay them."

Gao Jian saw that this person returned some of the money, some were fifty, but when it came to some children who seemed to be less strong, he would give them a few extra cents.

Although it was called a refund, Gao Jian felt that it was more like giving out pocket money.

Soon, most of the money was refunded. More than a thousand yuan was refunded to the twenty or so children.

"You are a good person." Gao Jian said.

"Hey, I'm relying on them for food. If they don't come to my place to cook, that would be a problem. I rely on these parts to make a living. Practicing Buddhism is not easy, and everything is expensive. Master, every time you come to my place to get materials, it costs one gold coin, which is a big expense." said the sorcerer.

"From what you said, I guess you have figured out my background?" Gao Jian asked curiously.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. My eyes have been smoked for a long time, and I can't see clearly. If you have any questions, just ask directly." He waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he couldn't see clearly.

Gao Jian said, "Don't be afraid. I have no ill intentions. I'm just curious about how you make the judgment."

The sorcerer looked at Gao Jian, as if he was judging whether the other party was real.

However, after looking around, he found that the other party was upright and had no evil spirit or evil spirit, so he lowered his voice and said, "Master, do you really want to listen?"

"Yeah." Gao Jian nodded.

"Then I'll be bold and say it. Master, you don't look like someone who is short of money. You should be a young master in the academy, right? Are you investigating this for the sake of the article?"

"Don't I look like a warrior?" Gao Jian pointed at himself.

"Not like that. You reek of scholarliness, and you look at things mostly out of curiosity and a desire to explore. Warriors are all barbarians and wouldn't have that kind of look. Also, scholars are generally like you, speaking in a very organized way." said the sorcerer.

"Pfft..." In Gao Jian's mind, Dansha couldn't hold back his laughter.

Gao Jian clapped his hands as if nothing had happened and said, "I see. I thought I was a knight with a sword, but it turns out that my knowledge has exposed me."

"The scent of books on the master is like a bright lamp in a dark room. It is hard to ignore." The sorcerer immediately complimented.

Gao Jian did not correct it. It was a good thing that the other party thought so, which also showed that his disguise was still very effective.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that. I will stay here tonight. Please take me to see this place. I'm very curious about the operation of a mechanical fairy gate." Gao Jian said immediately.

"Master, is this your first time in Yuezhou?" the sorcerer suddenly asked.

"Yes." Gao Jian nodded.

The Jianghu magician immediately said proudly: "That's not surprising. Yuezhou is famous for its mechanical devices. Tiangong Mountain is the local sect of our Yuezhou, so the mechanical device lineage is also particularly developed here!"

I know this insightful point.

Tiangong Mountain and Mohist School are the top mountains and schools of the mechanical lineage. Among them, Tiangong Mountain, as a major sect that has signed a direct agreement with the Qiyun Divine Dynasty, has a status similar to that of the Zhenjing Taoist Palace. Both are first-class and top-notch immortal sects.

The Divine Dynasty and many large sects have similar agreements. After the agreements, these sects acknowledge that they are affiliated with the Divine Dynasty, become part of the Divine Dynasty's national destiny, and accept the Divine Dynasty's jurisdiction, but at the same time they will also send disciples to serve in the Divine Dynasty, integrating into the Divine Dynasty while retaining a certain degree of independence.

However, there are not many such large sects, only about a dozen or so. It is considered lucky if a state has one. Some remote states do not even have such sects. But in the core areas of the Divine Dynasty, there are some places in a state that have three or four.

This place is called Digong Town. Looking at the name of this place, you can tell that it is trying to piggyback on the name of Tiangong Mountain. There must be similar place names everywhere.

"It's a pity that you came too late, sir. A few years ago, when Yuezhou and Donghai were at war, the sky was full of traps, various ships, beasts, and some magical machines! The traps covered the sea surface for 300 miles, and the sky was invisible. They fought with the water monsters of the East China Sea, and the sky was dark!" He danced with his hands and feet, as if he wanted to show the grandeur of the scene.

"Shen Ji?" Gao Jian discovered a term he had never heard of, so he asked, "What is Shen Ji?"

Logically speaking, the song of Xuanhua Tongmen Dadao covers almost all nouns, but at this moment a noun appeared that Gao Jian had never heard of before, which made him immediately alert.

The Jianghu magician was somewhat surprised and said, "Ah? Master, you have never heard of the divine machine? Then the master must have been studying hard in the mountains and didn't know much about the development of the mechanism. The divine machine is the product of the cooperation between the witches and the mechanical masters in recent years. It is said that under the coordination of several senior officials of the court, the witches took out their treasured visualization map of the gods."

"Then, isn't disassembly what our mechanism masters are best at? For example, the mechanisms of animals are all imitated by thoroughly understanding the body structures of demon beasts and spirit beasts. So Tiangongshan has thoroughly understood the visualization diagram of the gods and imitated the mechanisms based on the structures of the gods. The mechanisms created in this way are called 'divine mechanisms'."

"Master, you don't know that during the previous battle, the most advanced divine machine that served as the vanguard, called the 'Three Altars Sea Assembly God', tore off the physical body of the Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea! The scene was spectacular! The aftermath of the battle could be seen in the local workers' town. It was really indescribable!"

Gao Jian's eyes twitched when he heard this.

This was really the first time he had heard of it.

Among the ten states of the Divine Dynasty, Yuezhou is famous for its mechanical engineering.

The mechanical engineers of Yuezhou, with the help of the visualization diagrams of the gods left by the shamans of the imperial court, figured out the body and part of the structure of the gods, and then used these things as the core to imitate a super-giant mechanism called the "divine machine".

They have even been put into actual combat!
The divine machine named 'Three Altars Sea Assembly God' has joined the East China Sea battlefield and even tore apart a powerful real dragon on the spot. The scene can even be seen from this place, so you can imagine how grand the battle itself is.

This should be the latest technology that has emerged in the past few hundred years. It is not recorded in the Xuanhua Tongmen Dadao Ge at all. After all, this book was written eight hundred years ago.

"Oh, by the way, there's no point in talking about these empty things. What do you want to know, sir? Are you here to collect inspiration for your article?" asked the sorcerer.

"It's nothing. I like hearing these as well. But let's get back to business. Let's ask while we walk." Gao Jian came back to his senses and said.

Then he took the initiative to step forward and walked into this place.

There was basically no soil on the ground as spare parts had already covered all the surrounding ground. Black water and various lubricants had accumulated into small puddles. Gao Jian didn't want to step on them, so he kept turning corners and had to dodge the children running around from time to time, as well as the dirty water and garbage thrown everywhere.

Just now, a little boy was pouring a basin of dirty water onto the garbage pile at the doorstep, and it almost splashed on Gao Jian, the quack priest, who quickly went up to him and started scolding him, and drove him away.

But rather than driving away, it was more like protecting him. He was afraid that the child would anger Gao Jian.

This guy is pretty good.

Gao Jian then asked, "Where does the water come from in this place? I saw some heavily polluted black rivers outside. Are there any natural water bodies here?"
