Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

Chen Lin, who was concentrating on his work, was startled by the sudden explosion, and the T-square in his hand slipped to the ground.

"What the hell is going on?!" Chen Lin reacted and turned his head to look at the place where the explosion came from, frowning slightly, "Shouldn't the convoy go to Duanchui Town to transport things today? The armed team shouldn't be here..."

Xier was originally angry that Chen Lin was wasting his physical endowments, but was also frightened by the explosion and stood up from the platform.

Rivet Town is Xier's hometown. She grew up in a relatively chaotic neighborhood here when she was a child. She is much more familiar with Rivet Town than Chen Lin, who has only been here a dozen times.

Xier glanced around vigilantly, her eyes fixed on the left, and when she looked up, she found a faint smoke rising in the air, and finally determined the direction from which the explosion came.

"In the commercial district near the mine!"

Before he finished his words, there was another explosion.

Boom!

This was obviously not an explosion accidentally caused by some creature that had split the world. Chen Lin guessed that someone had detonated something during a battle, causing the loud noise!

Snapped--

Xier jumped off the platform, and without saying a word, she grabbed Chen Lin and planned to run away.

"Wait a minute, Xier!" Chen Lin shouted hurriedly, "Let's go over there and take a look at the explosion!"

"You're crazy! What are you doing there? It must be the world-ripping monster that has detonated something again. It's too dangerous. I don't agree!"

After saying that, Xier pulled Chen Lin up and prepared to continue running.

Chen Lin held her hand and frowned, "This is not the sound of a fuel explosion, but more like the explosion of some kind of high-explosive gunpowder. There is no sign of a fire, only smoke and dust. It is very likely that someone is fighting with the world-breaking monster over there."

"Impossible!" Xier asserted, "Everyone in Dihuo is very disciplined, and their mission today is not here, but in Forging Hammer Town."

She paused and asked in confusion, "You can even tell when something exploded?"

"We can roughly judge it. You carry me for a while, and I'll take a look at the situation over there. If there's anyone there, we'll help them. If not, it won't be too late for us to retreat later."

Manpower, manpower, the number of Beloberg's living people is getting smaller and smaller if one dies, not to mention someone who can make such a big noise. He must be a good talent.

What Chen Lin wants is talent!

Attaching his consciousness to the psychic body, an energy body that was completely imperceptible to the naked eye suddenly emerged from Chen Lin's body and flew rapidly towards the place where the explosion occurred.

He can now control the psychic body quite skillfully to float to far places without feeling any discomfort. Moreover, as the psychic energy in his body becomes stronger and stronger, Chen Lin's vision becomes stronger and clearer when he attaches to the psychic body.

When Xier saw Chen Lin lying on the ground motionless as if he had suddenly died, she knew that he must have used some strange means to carry out the so-called "investigation" again.

On several occasions, Chen Lin was able to accurately tell Xier where and what kind of enemies were within a few hundred meters. At first, Xier even asked Chen Lin how he did it, but he just said he used some "psychic energy" or something like that.

Psychic power...? I don't understand. But it seems quite convenient.

Sighing, Xier still chose to trust Chen Lin's judgment, and quickly approached the source of the sound with the "corpse" on her back.

The psychic entity has no collision volume, so no matter what kind of obstacle it encounters, it can easily pass through...

Hmm? In this case, can I use this method to have a one-sided video call with Bronya?

Chen Lin felt as if he had discovered a new use for his psychic energy, but now he still had to figure out what caused the man-made explosion over there.

After floating for more than two minutes, Chen Lin finally saw the situation at the explosion site using the magnified vision of his psychic body.

It seemed to be the entrance to an abandoned mine. On the right side was a bottomless mine pit. Several tall robots were lying there in ruins. The ground and walls were full of potholes, as if they had been blown up by something.

Getting a little closer, Chen Lin saw two holes on a robot. He went deeper into the holes to observe again. Chen Lin was stunned for a moment.

Electric ignition? This is the weapon port!

Chen Lin immediately thought of the records about the mechanical age in the Beloberg library. At that time, Beloberg was able to manufacture fully intelligent armed robots, and it seemed that his level was quite good.

Who produced this thing? Who modified it?

There is a kind of beauty in the technological gap.

After more than a month in the lower-level district, Chen Lin still had no idea where to find the ability to produce things that were only found in the ancient military books of the upper-level district. Moreover, with the lower-level district in its current state, how could it have the ability to produce these parts and ammunition?

With curiosity in his heart, Chen Lin controlled his psychic body to fly past the almost scrapped real automatic robots on the road and into the mine. After passing through several thick walls, Chen Lin finally understood what was going on.

Fragments of earth's marrow were glowing deep within the abandoned mine, the surrounding mine cart tracks were blown crooked, and the sound of explosions could still be heard.

Six or seven robots that are exactly the same as the scrapped mechas outside are fighting with an alien fire, and behind the robots is a trembling little girl holding something in her hand!

Seeing this, he immediately retracted his spiritual energy body. While his vision was still bright white, Chen Lin randomly patted Xier, but the feeling seemed to be a little wrong...

But he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly urged:

"Hurry...Pah, hurry up, there's a little girl in there and she's in danger, get ready to rescue her!"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Lin heard Xier gritting her teeth.

"Then don't slap my butt! I really want to punch you... Oh, forget it, it's my hand that will hurt when I hit you..."

Chen Lin's vision gradually recovered, and only then did he realize that he was actually being carried upside down on Xi'er's shoulders? !

I don’t know what was wrong with him. Chen Lin clearly wanted to explain that he accidentally tapped the wrong place, but he subconsciously said: "It doesn’t matter, there is not much meat on your buttocks. It’s so hard that you can feel the bones. Remember to eat more…"

"?"

boom!

Chen Lin was thrown to the ground mercilessly by Xi'er who was extremely angry...

Chapter 85: The Girl with the Machine

The physical body is not as good as the spiritual body, and cannot easily pass through various obstacles, let alone take off into the air.

Even though each of them ran faster than the other, they still felt that time was extremely long.

"You said that the child was very young, carrying a big bag, with white hair and red eyes?" After Xier learned the appearance of the fighter from Chen Lin, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly knitted together, and she murmured, "Could it be that guy..."

Chen Lin touched the healed wound on his forehead, looked at her deeply, and continued, "Several modified armed robots are protecting her. When I saw it, many robots were already scrapped on the periphery. The explosion was most likely caused by those automatic robots."

Then he continued to quicken his pace and asked, "Do you know that little girl?"

"More than that!" Xier gritted her teeth and said, "She is Swarovski's person. Those weapons that you said the automatic robots shouldn't have were most likely modified by her."

"What genius child?!" Chen Lin was shocked.

In a place where there is nothing and nothing can be done, there is actually someone who can make something like this with his own hands. Although it is very basic to him, it has great potential for development. That girl is definitely not simple!

The other thing is the Svarro. Oleg said it was a war weapon left over from the ancient war period. Chen Lin had no reference to its specific functions and mechanical intelligence before, but at present, it can occupy an area in the lower area where the core of the furnace is located, so the technology level it contains should not be low.

If Xier didn't lie, Chen Lin wouldn't mind if the girl could help him a little. Even if people accused her of employing child labor, it wouldn't matter since he wouldn't pay her anyway.

But the premise of everything is that the little girl can escape from danger, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Xier was silent for a while, and said, "It's true that Dihuo and Swarovski don't get along well, and they even often clash, but Clara is not in the scope of our dispute. At the same time, she is also the only person in the lower area who can communicate with Swarovski. For the safety of everyone, she can't get into trouble!"

The fact that Xier can give up her opposing thoughts shows that she must have studied hard during this period and will not just do things that a crude warrior can do like before.

This also indirectly shows that the little girl named Clara is very necessary for the lower area!

It must be protected!

……

Clara, a girl who usually lives in the mechanical settlement below the core, spends most of her life with machines.

Today, she discovered that several small robots had external failures, which was a very common occurrence in mechanical settlements. Whether it was mechanical wear and tear or data overflow, Clara had her own solutions.

Similarly, a long time ago, Clara took the initiative to undertake the work of repairing and maintaining the small robots in the settlement. When she saw that a robot had a problem, she naturally found the problem after a careful inspection.

It was just a routine maintenance and repair, but Clara ran into trouble...

There are not enough repair parts. The failure rate of the small robots has been getting higher and higher recently. It seems that the parts she picked up last time were used up very quickly this time!

So Clara found Swarovski as usual and told him that she was going out to look for usable mechanical components. By the way, she heard that there had been violent conflicts between Rivet Town and the other two former industrial towns recently. It seemed that the people of the Earth Fire were clearing out the rift monsters on a large scale.

Clara had no idea what they were going to do specifically. She only knew that Panyan Town had been holding celebration parties recently, and she hadn't heard of anyone dying in the battle of the Earth Fire. It seemed that many of the monsters from the Rift Valley must have been wiped out.

Rivet Town should be very safe during this period.

After telling Swarovski all this, Clara set off happily.

Normally, she would go out alone like this to look for usable supplies and repair parts for everyone. Mr. Varro would pass the news of her going to Rivet Town to the robot database patrolling nearby to avoid any accidents...

Arriving near the entrance of Panyan Town, Clara made a careful observation and was convinced that it was just as she thought. At least half of the Rift Monsters that lurked in the streets and alleys had disappeared. The Rifts that were once bright and clear on several main streets were nowhere to be found. Except for the many traces of dragging and wheels on the ground, Rivet Town was much safer!

In this way, Clara was very happy to go to other workshops or factories in Rivet Town that she had never dared to go into before. These places would definitely contain a large number of components that could be found to replace the robots in the settlement.

As expected, Clara easily found many usable parts. She put all these gains into the big bag she picked up in the town. After a while, she had filled one third of the bag, which was enough to last for a long time!

The nearby patrol robots received Swarovski's orders and approached Clara one after another. Seeing that they had more people on their side, Clara considered that Rivet Town had become much safer, so it would be better to collect more useful things before the underground fire arrived here.

She didn't resist the aunts and uncles of 'Dihuo'. They had helped her before and gave her some canned food when she was hungry. But Dihuo and Swarovski had a bad relationship and their conflict of ideas was very serious. Clara didn't know what to say after meeting them. In order not to owe them a favor, it would be a good choice to avoid them...

When Clara arrived at some of the larger factories in Rivet Town, she was stunned. Many of the machines that were originally placed here had disappeared, and the factory was empty with nothing in it.

At first Clara thought she was dazzled or remembered it wrong, but when she went to other large factories, she found that these factories seemed to have been moved. There was not a single machine in the rooms of several thousand square meters!

The ground was littered with mechanical waste. At a glance it looked as if someone who knew a lot about machinery had picked it out. All the good stuff had been packed up and taken away.

Fortunately, after some searching, she managed to pick up a few things from the ground that were barely usable.

"What on earth is going on here?"

Clara couldn't understand why Rivet Town had changed so much just because she hadn't been there for a few days...

The same goes for Panyan Town.

The outskirts of Panyan Town, where Clara passed by when she came, were brightly lit and had many large, long houses. There were also many armed Earth Fire members guarding the periphery, and even a sentry tower had been built.

Many houses outside Panyan Town seem to be being renovated or rebuilt, and they are decorated with lights and colors everywhere, making it very lively.

People coming and going all had happy smiles on their faces. Clara heard a few uncles passing by saying some obscure words like "Worker Grandpa", "Become strong, rich, independent", "Eliminate the tyranny of the upper class, the world belongs to all the people", etc.

"How strange..."

No matter how confused Clara is, life must go on.

She went back through the alleys of Rivet Town, heading for the larger factories she knew, only to find that those places had also been ransacked. She found almost nothing useful except for the waste materials on the ground.

Fortunately, Clara discovered a pattern. It seemed that only the factories near the main road of Rivet Town were emptied. Many abandoned small workshops could be found in other more remote places. Even if the things she could take away were pitifully few, it was better than finding nothing.

Clara searched along the way in these remote workshops. In addition to electronic components for repairs, she also found three boxes of canned food that had not yet expired under the tattered floors of these workshops.

"Great, everyone has something to eat again!"

Clara was extremely happy. She handed these important foods to the automatic soldiers who came according to her orders, and planned to look for other edible things later, and then let them deliver these very important foods out of the town and distribute them to the uncles and aunts in the settlement.

Because there were fewer rift monsters in the town, Clara became a lot bolder today and kept going deeper and deeper. Even if she saw a few lone rift monsters, she could lead the robot team to bypass them.

After a busy afternoon, Clara harvested a lot of good things!

Not only did we find food, but we also found some fabrics of very nice texture, as well as a lot of mechanical components and lubricants for various machines.

“I believe everyone will be very happy when they return!”

Clara's eyes curved into a little moon, and the joy in her heart was revealed without any concealment.

At this moment, Clara in the workshop suddenly heard the alarm sounds of the automatic robots outside.

After the urgent alarm, Clara ran out of the workshop. She found that an extremely huge world-ripping monster had spawned here at some point. It was emitting high temperatures all over its body, and flames were emitting from its surface from time to time. Ordinary automatic soldiers would be melted into a pile of molten iron immediately under its attack!

At this time, Clara realized that she seemed to have accidentally searched the workshop area under the mine in the north of Rivet Town!

The automated soldiers kept urging Clara to evacuate, and one after another they stepped forward to engage in battle with the Rift Monster.

Some were melted before they even got close, some activated the self-destruct mode after the trigger conditions were met, and some even opened the weapons that Clara had designed and installed for them and shot at the world-ripping monster.

however……

The Rift Monster was full of energy and showed no signs of injury. On the contrary, the number of robots on Clara's side was decreasing.

The huge noise seemed to have opened Pandora's box. Many ferocious monsters with bared fangs and claws appeared on the way they came. If there were no big monsters in front of them, Clara could have returned the same way with the help of the automatic soldiers beside her, but now the automatic soldiers were obviously being killed indiscriminately, and this idea was completely unworkable.

[Search for nearby evacuation roads... There are a lot of enemies on the main road, so it doesn't meet the requirements... Go to the suburbs and pass through the Pollyco Marrow Mine Area. You can leave Rivet Town by passing through the mine area.]

After the robots following Clara found a path for Clara to escape, all the robots formed a front line almost at the same time and escorted Clara to evacuate towards the abandoned Marrow Mine.

As they evacuated, the robots behind Clara were completely destroyed. Watching everyone behind her being melted by the flames one after another, some of them might even have their cores completely destroyed, Clara burst into tears in pain.

Having picked up so many things, she should have left earlier, but because she rarely saw creatures from the Rift Valley, she relaxed her vigilance and unknowingly went deep into the most dangerous area.

Am I really too greedy...

After entering the bypass tunnel of the mining area, several robots were left behind to cover their retreat, but they were not specialized robots like Swarovski, and they could not withstand any of the powerful Rift-Boundary Creatures!
