: Both Ends of the Balance 34

Kai Xin searched the relevant information of Fugang City on the Internet in advance, and knew what kind of city it is.

Fugang City, which is close to the federal administrative center, is undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid in terms of economic and political status.

“We are currently in… the outskirts of Uri City.” Kui Xin opened his wristband to look at the coordinates, “There are still more than two thousand kilometers away from Fugang City… Tsk, it’s so far away… Let’s rest first.”

“Is the S-class space vortex exhausting?” Amber asked.

“Well, it’s very costly.” Kai Xin breathed out, “It’s enough to turn on the whirlpool once and rest for a while, and you will feel obviously tired after several times in a row. The degree of physical exertion depends on the distance. With a lot of physical strength, of course it doesn’t take much to get close.”

“This is also normal… After all, every time the vortex is launched, it will cover a distance of nearly 400 kilometers.” Amber said, “Replacing the night cicada, it must have been unable to sustain the ability to use so many times today.”

If Kai Xin hadn’t sent Lancet and the others to Heihai City, she and Hu Po could have traveled a farther distance. It’s a pity that powerful abilities are bound to be accompanied by high consumption. Ye Chan has to hold the oxygen bottle to inhale oxygen after opening the vortex a few times. Kai Xin’s physical condition is much better than him, at least she has spare energy now.

From Beluga City to Black Sea City, Kai Xin used the space vortex six times. It is estimated that twelve space vortexes will be needed to transfer from Black Sea City to Fugang City.

Beluga City is actually located in a relatively middle position. The distance from Beluga City to Fugang City and Heihai City is about the same, but it cannot keep Heihai City from being far from the federal administrative center. One is near the sea and the other is inland.

“It’s half past eleven, let’s eat.” Kui Xin sat down on the ground, took out the prepared food from his equipment bag, and took a bite.

Amber also sat down, and also took out the prepared food to eat.

“I estimate that it will take six hours to recover.” Kai Xin said.

Amber said: “Okay, leave the guard to me, and you rest first.”

After eating the food and replenishing the water, Kai Xin leaned on the big rock by the roadside and closed his eyes to rest.

The sun was a little bright at noon, and they sat in the shade of the stone, but as time passed, the sun gradually moved around, and the strong sunlight was about to shine on Kai Xin’s face.

Amber was not sure if she was asleep or not, and without waking her up, she untied her backpack, got up and moved to the direction facing the sun, raised her backpack on her head and helped Kaixin block the sun.

A few hours later, the sun was no longer so bright.

Amber took off the backpack on her head, and Kai Xin also finished her rest.

“Go on.” When she stretched her muscles and bones, there was an obvious crackling sound from her bones.

The space vortex opened up again. They went to the next planned coordinate point and moved to Fugang City in a planned way.



The urban buildings in Fugang City have a completely different style.

“Finally there is a subway here…” Kui Xin said to himself, “Heihai City and Beluga City don’t have subways, they only have suspended trams, and Beluga City doesn’t even have trams.”

Amber said: “The transportation here is divided into two parts: above ground and underground. There are suspended electric rails and ground rails. I have been here once a long time ago.”

“Your world is called the subway? We call it ‘metrocar’, and the expression is similar.” Adam said, “Different cities have different modes of transportation, which are restricted by geographical location.”

Many cities in the Federation have a long history. When they were first built, some cities did not consider future development issues, resulting in incomplete transportation planning. Another part of the reason is that when the city was first built, the Federation’s technology was not strong enough to ignore the geographical environment.

There is no underground transportation in Heihai City, because it is a seaside city, and it has been raining for years, and the subway capacityIt is easy to be flooded, and there will be problems if the drainage cannot keep up. Therefore, Heihai City took a different approach and built a suspended tramway that traverses the entire city.

Beluga City first developed the mining industry. The soil is special and it is located near the polar region. It is difficult to excavate in permafrost, and the cost of building underground transportation is too high. Suspended electric railcars are also not good, where most of the year is winter, and ice hangs on the tracks, and removing the ice hangs is another cost-intensive matter. Therefore, the road surface of Beluga City is extraordinarily spacious, and the overpasses are layered one after another. This is to reduce the traffic pressure in this city.

According to the current technology of the Federation, it is also possible to forcibly build an above-ground and underground transportation system in coastal cities and the polar circle, but the cost of urban reconstruction is too high. Although the current transportation routes are stressful, they can still be used. Why do we need to build them again? What about a new set? So the plan was delayed again and again.

Adam said: “Fugang City is the most important transportation hub of the Federation. It leads to the Federation and other cities. If you look at the map, you will find that the city in the center of the network-shaped transportation routes is Fugang City.”

“Why isn’t the most central one the federal administrative center?” Kai Xin asked Adam using data manipulation to connect.

“Because Fugang City was established before the Federal Administrative Center, and the Federal Administrative Center was a newly established city later. Fugang City could have become an administrative center, but there are too many factories here and construction is limited, so it is located in Fugang City. A new city was developed around Gang City, which is the origin of the federal administrative center.” Adam explained.

“The development history of these cities is quite valuable for academic research…” Kui Xin said, “If some sociologists traveled to the second world, they might write a few papers titled ‘First World and Second World Cities Development of Similarities and Differences Investigation and Research”On the Influence of Geographical Location on the Style of Second World Cities’…”

“It is indeed an academic issue worthy of discussion.” Adam echoed, “Unfortunately, this kind of paper cannot be published.”

“Let’s go, take the subway… the underground rail.” Kai Xin said to Amber.

Continuously using the space vortex, she is really tired. She can save some energy by using transportation instead.

“We don’t have legal identification, how can we sit?” Amber said, “As soon as we enter, we will be scanned by the urban traffic monitoring system of the Investigation Department.”

“That’s not a problem.” Kai Xin said lightly.

Amber nodded thoughtfully, “Okay, since you’ve said that.”

The urban transportation system is under the control of the Investigation Department, and the Investigation Department is under Adam’s management. Kai Xin can run around in the city without worrying about the Investigation Department arresting her.

Although Adam can open the back door for them, he still needs to be more discreet in actual actions. After all, Eve is also watching her secretly.

On the outskirts of Fugang City, there are few ground rail entrances. Kui Xin and Hu Po changed into regular clothes, put on their faces a simulated human skin mask ordered at a high price from a black market doctor, and carried backpacks on their backs to pretend that they were tourists.

They successfully passed the subway security check and identification, and got on the train without even paying for the ticket.

Sitting on the clean and spacious seat of the ground rail car, Kai Xin seemed to have returned to his hometown in the first world.

Through the glass, you can see the colorful advertisements on the walls around the waiting point. The colorful advertisements are reflected on the glass of the train, and the silhouettes of people are also reflected on the glass of the train. Those advertising lights were dyed gorgeous colors.

The train carriage was divided into several sections, and there were not many people in the car. When the train started, the suspended handrails were wobbly. The train was passing through the silver tunnel, so the advertising walls on both sides of the track turned into colorful lights and shadows during the high-speed movement of the train. Kai Xin seemed to be walking through a tunnel filled with aurora, and the dark blue and deep purple halo flowed on her body.

“It’s so beautiful.” Kai Xin said in a low voice.

“It’s very beautiful.” Amber said, “The cities built by people are all beautiful, but not every part of every city is equally beautiful.”

The beautiful ones are more beautiful, and the ugly ones are uglier. The developed are more developed, and the backward are even more backward.

In two hours, the rail car arrived at the destination that Kai Xin was going to – the slums of Fugang City.

There are still slums in such a bright and beautiful city, which is why Amber said that not every part of the city is equally beautiful, and people live like mice in places where the light does not reach.

When they came out from the ground rail exit, they found that the upward elevator here had been broken long ago, and the sign “Suspended for Maintenance” was dusty, as if it had been there for a while.

Kai Xin and Hu Po had no choice but to leave the ground on foot.

Take two casual steps away from the ground, and bypass a tall building. As far as the eye can see, there are only low gray houses left. There are faint lights in those small gray squares. This is where the poor live.

Kai Xin looked into the distance, his eyes passed the small gray square, and he accurately captured the tall buildings in the distance.

Nuclear Power Plant!

Those factories are so conspicuous. In the dark night, the iron shells of the factories reflect a cold light. Kai Xin also saw the “cover”, the protective cover to prevent nuclear leakage tightly wrapped several buildings in the factory. A sense of oppression.

The building complex of the nuclear power plant is much taller than the buildings in the slums, almost like a giant overlooking the ants on the ground. Compared with nuclear power plants, the small gray houses in the slums are like pebbles at the foot of the rolling hills.

“How big is the protective cover against nuclear leakage?” Kai Xin asked solemnly.

“A single area is equivalent to the size of twenty football fields.in two protective covers. Since the area of ​​the protective cover is too large, an internal support frame is used, and the structure is similar to a tent. Adam said, “The total area of ​​the two enclosures is nearly 30 hectares.” ”

“Damn.” Kai Xin said, “Living in this place is equivalent to being neighbors with Death…”

“The nuclear leak was controlled in a timely manner and had little impact on the surrounding areas.” Adam said, “It’s just not sure whether the remaining problems will erupt one day.”

“It’s like the god of death holding a knife around your neck anytime, anywhere, and you don’t know when the knife will fall.” Kui Xin said.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Amber.

“Amber, next is your field of expertise.” Kai Xin said.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Amber actually saw expectation and encouragement in Kai Xin’s eyes.

He said: “Don’t look at me like this… Your eyes will make me doubt my ‘professional field’.”

“Why do you have doubts?” Kai Xin said, “Now there is no sewer in the nuclear power plant for you to drill.”

“Okay, I see.” Amber sighed weakly, “I’ll control the little animals to see the situation… Isn’t that why you brought me here to let me do this?”

“There are two routes.” Kui Xin said, “One route is to enter the nuclear power plant to see the situation, and the other route is in the surrounding area. Find someone for me.”

She raised the communicator and sent Amber a picture, and the face of Depriver 777 was displayed on the screen.
