Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 967
For the energetic and fanciful half grown-up children, "adventure" is a very attractive word. A vigorous adventure is simply a medal of the warrior.
But then again, which boy in his youth didn''t have such a silly idea to make people laugh?
It''s just that some teenagers just think about it in their heads, while others put it into action. Tim, Locke and others are the latter.
Especially during the period of "wartime production system", children were not watched by their parents and had enough opportunities to let themselves go.
In fact, the so-called adventure of teenagers is actually just a "hike".
Locke, the leader of this operation, put down a big backpack, took out a few short swords with scabbard from it, and distributed them to four partners one by one, saying:
"this is the weapon I specially brought. You may encounter danger on the way to adventure. You can take this defensive weapon."
Tim took the weapon, pulled out the dagger from the leather sheath with a "Keng" sound, looked up and down at the sharp blade flashing cold, and asked in surprise and excitement:
"Locke, where did you get the dagger?"
Locke put his dagger on his belt and said with pride:
"my grandfather opened a cold weapon equipment store, which I secretly took out from the store warehouse yesterday Hey, look at this... "
The young man who stole his own property took out a small metal crossbow from his backpack and showed it to his friends.
The Federation of human beings does not prohibit the sale of cold weapons. Weapons shops can be seen in almost all towns. There are not only conventional weapons such as knives, guns and swords, but also equipment such as full body armor, crossbows and bows.
For the more lethal weapons such as crossbows, the government forbids minors under the age of 14 to buy them. Even adults need to register their real names when they buy them and put them on record in the local police station.
There is no doubt that Locke''s act of holding a crossbow is absolutely against the rules.
However, this group of teenagers think it is a kind of cool behavior.
"This banugan crossbow is a 10-year-old gift from my grandfather. It costs 580 silver nals Its crossbow machine is made of light high light alloy. The material of crossbow arm and crossbow string is precious magic alloy. Even 250 meters away, it can shoot through standard steel armor. "
"By the way, it also has a mini" magic power winding device ", which can finish automatic winding in 5 seconds I heard from my grandfather that the output of the "bannugan" hand crossbow is quite small. The "Dawu division cold weapon manufacturing group" led by Haichao only produced 50000 pieces and then stopped production. Now most people can''t buy it... "
This kind of ostentatious explanation made the other teenagers all look envious.
Locke waved his right hand again with satisfaction:
"guys, our goal today is to follow the freight railway behind Beishan Park and reach the Tamora mine cave on the west side of the city!"
Another teenager swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with a little fear:
"but However, I have seen the map. The "Temora mine" is at least 20 kilometers away from the city. It has been abandoned for many years. Will we encounter powerful beasts on our way
Locke shook his crossbow and said with indifference:
"Watt, what are you afraid of? If you come across a wild animal, I''ll kill it with" barnugan " Oh, I''ve specially brought a dagger for peeling. At that time, we''ll have a big barbecue... "
The teenagers gave out a happy laugh, and everyone tried to make a fearless look.
Only the boy who was called "watt" still looked a little reluctant.
"don''t worry about the beast''s hitting on the human''s shoulder Besides, there are magic trains passing by on the railway line from time to time. I don''t think wild animals will get close to them easily... "
Tim is right to say that in today''s blue star, human beings are no longer the food of wild animals, but firmly occupy the top of the food chain.
Any beast that tries to attack human beings, whether it succeeds or not, will end up being skinned and cramped and put on the table of human beings.
"Let''s go!"
With a strong wave of his right hand, Locke led the way to the railway line looming in the distance.
……
Trudging in the wild is harder than Tim imagined.
The area that the railway line passes through is the most typical plateau landform. Due to the lack of precipitation, the vegetation on the ground is relatively sparse, and the rock strata in many areas are exposed, and large and small stones can be seen everywhere.
At the end of winter, the weeds withered and the trees withered. Looking around, there was little green in the sight.
The teenagers dare not drive directly on the railway line. Otherwise, once the freight train comes and is found by the conductor, they will report the case to the local police station. There is absolutely no good fruit to eat.
After walking along the rugged path for more than two hours, some half boys suddenly heard a few loud sirens coming from behind."Wuwu Wu Wu... "
Tim, who had just turned over a hill, was the first to react. He tugged at his companion''s sleeve and yelled:
"the train is coming, everyone squat down and don''t move!"
Some of them are old-fashioned, but others are not.
More than 1500 meters away, a long black dragon suddenly bumped out from behind a small piece of Alpine White Pine, rolled the rail and drove fast.
Nine years ago, the first railway that is famous in the world officially started. So far, the Federation has built dozens of Railways on two continents, with a total mileage of more than 24000 kilometers.
These railways form two railway networks, namely, the golden railway network of Huiguang and the Xingyao railway network of Xinghai.
In this era, railway travel is no longer a rare thing, more than 35% of the civilians have had the experience of riding magic train.
Tim''s No.3 national high school in tiekuicheng organizes some students to visit other cities in the Republic in winter and summer every year. At the farthest, they even go to the tide collar thousands of miles away.
“1,2,3…… 7…… 11…… A total of 24 freight cars! "
Tim unconsciously counted the number of containers towed by the train head. The containers were all open structures, and large pieces of red ore were piled in each carriage.
"Boom Boom and boom... "
As the train gets closer and closer, the sound of the wheel rubbing against the rail becomes louder and louder.
Locke suddenly asked a question:
"I know that this is the red copper mine from honglongshan, but who knows where they are transported? What is it mainly for? "
Tim replied casually:
"they will be sent to the ore smelter in ChiYan City 380 kilometers away to refine into copper ingots I remember that this kind of chalcopyrite also contains a small amount of Magic Silver and another magic metal "blue blood copper."
"We should all know the use of magic silver. I won''t say much about it. Blue blood copper is mainly used to make magic alloys for aerospace, such as the construction materials of Phoenix Nest space city."
"As for copper extracted from hematite, there are too many uses, such as radiator, water pipe, faucet, magic clock in our home, and many parts in magic vehicle, magic plane and magic ship..."
Locke exclaimed:
"man, you know so much!"
Tim shrugged his shoulders:
"my ideal is to become a rune magician. After graduating from high school, I plan to apply for the rune school in the capital ''Blackstone mountain capital'' and become an apprentice of a rune magician..."
Locke smacked his mouth with envy:
"well, you have a big goal!"
The others nodded.
As the sound of the train became inaudible, a group of teenagers stood up and continued their journey.
However, they had just walked for a few minutes, and something unexpected happened.
A strange whistling sound suddenly came from the top of my head, and more than ten dark shadows fell rapidly from the sky, so fast that I couldn''t see clearly, leaving a long gray tail smoke across the sky.
The shadow fell into the low mountains one kilometer away like lightning, and the huge fiery cloud suddenly rose.
"Boom! Boom! Boom
Deafening explosion, resounding through the sky!
Including Tim, five teenagers were scared by thunder, and their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
"Huhu..."
Then there was a violent shock wave, which overturned them all to the ground and rolled them straight to the bottom of the hill.
