After Puno left, when the air in the room was basically replaced, Kasia closed the window and began to sit on the bed and read. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI've been resting on the train for a long time, and I don't feel tired until now.

The surroundings were quiet, and the movement from Puno's side came at this time, as if it was the sound of cooking. With his sturdy build, a bag of biscuits was really not enough to fill his stomach.

By about ten o'clock, there was no sound at the station, and Puno went to bed early.

Kasia turned off the lights at the right time, and lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, thinking about the locomotives.

Of course, they are not going to stay here for a long time, waiting for the arrival of the troops on the other side of the battle line, or the arrival of the reformation. In Kasia's opinion, it was all a matter of luck, and he didn't have much time to go to the front, so he couldn't count on all these uncertain things. I still hope that the communication equipment will suddenly get better tomorrow morning, and there will be a lot of troubles in the future. But on the one hand, you have to make other plans.

Those locomotives may be available, this is the station, the basic maintenance tools are available, and it is important to have a complete set of power facilities to run the station. It shows that the steam at high pressure and high temperature can be replenished, and if you are lucky, you may be able to assemble the parts of several locomotives to make one of them move again.

The industrial products of the Empire, especially with regard to military equipment, have always been the standard of the Empire in terms of quality, and at the same time the embodiment of quality. When Avalon's technology first came into contact with the empire, it was the military's factory.

"It's probably not a big problem. Cassia could only pray in her heart, then closed her eyes and began to rest.

The next day, winter mornings here came much earlier than the Empire's borders around the Endless Sea. Puno got up before dawn, and the sound of making breakfast came to Kasia's ears from the side.

He got up just in time for Puno to call him, and breakfast was a simple fried egg or something. Kasia thanked him and then asked about the communication equipment.

"It's a pity that there is still no response, maybe it will be fine in the afternoon. Puno ate twice as much food as ordinary people and said, "Don't worry, don't look at the weeds all around here, in fact, it's a good thing to stand on a high place and see the scenery, you can try it later." ”

Kasia nodded, not continuing.

After breakfast, Puno began to conduct routine inspections of various parts of the station, which is a habit that has been cultivated for more than ten years, and it is not easy to get rid of it. And there's not much to do for a day, and it's not very feasible to go hunting in winter.

Puno asked Kasia to go around the station, and he didn't have much to help with.

Straight through the small vegetable garden, Kasia walked over to the abandoned locomotives.

It wasn't much better at night, but now it's much better preserved than Kasia had imagined just from the outside. The size is larger than that of an ordinary locomotive, which is due to the thick steel plates welded on the body. A total of two layers of steel plates were welded on it, and through some cracked cracks, it can be seen that there is a layer of hard ceramic chips that have been broken into pieces.

A very simple bulletproof structure, after all, it is a locomotive in and out of the battle line, and the armor layer on the body is not thick, and an ordinary caliber platinum bullet may be able to beat it into a sieve in a very short time.

Some rapid-fire machine guns can pour out thousands of rounds of ammunition in a minute if the barrel cooling technology is up to the mark, or if they have a specially designed cooling system and a special bullet box, and can last for a long time. Without such a strong defense, the enemy would have bypassed a large bend and been ambushed on the side of the railway, and the train, which could not change its course of action, was indeed just a live target that could not be avoided.

The red rust had fallen to the ground, all of which were as cemented as blood and thirst, and had even buried the rails beneath Kasia's feet. There is a "crunch" sound when stepping on it.

Kasia picked up a stone and knocked it vigorously on the iron sheets, and large pieces of rust fell from the sticking blocks, and the sound of "thump" was heard far away in the barren wilderness, and then it was slowly absorbed by the endless wilderness.

Puno said the locomotives had been here for years, but the rust had not been able to corrode through the first bronze-colored steel plates, leaving countless mottled marks on them. There really is nothing to be faulty about in terms of quality.

The doors were all broken, and a few of them had fallen off the train due to the rust on the articulations, and fell into the weeds that grew on the side of the railway foundation.

The control room was empty, and Kasia noticed that the situation on the train was not as good as it appeared on the surface. The fact that the rust hadn't corroded the armor was good news, but in his plan, it was meant to be removed. The important thing is to see if the structure hidden under the iron sheet of the train is still enough to use.

Inside, it was a ruined mess, with marks of welded cuts everywhere, though the copper pipes and high-pressure steam canisters were still there. Because these are all bulky things, the volume and weight almost make up half a locomotive. When the people on the military side abandoned these cars, they didn't think about taking them. After all, removing these parts is equivalent to dismantling a complete locomotive.

What was taken away were the technical components, the various valve combinations used to control it, the transfer system for the steam hoses and, most importantly, the zero type differential. It seems that the steam turbine, which was the main power mechanism, was also partially dismantled, and the remaining structure can be counted as far as the eye can see. It is the core structure of coagulation technology, and such a result should have been imagined for a long time.

But listening to Puno last night, most of the locomotives that Kasia had hoped to stay here were relatively intact. The Zero Differential Machine didn't think about it, and it didn't matter much if that thing was gone. It is also completely achievable to rely on hardware to control the input and output, the difference is only in the degree of accuracy and cumbersomeness.

"Troublesome thing. Kasia sighed as he looked at the front of the car, which was almost reduced to scrap metal. I also thought that the Imperial Military was directly under the supervision of the Imperial Council, and I shouldn't care so much about money and equipment, thinking that there were still a few complete locomotives left here. But with the one in front of him, he no longer had any hope in his heart. Only some of the generic copper pipe and valve fittings on it may be disassembled and can continue to be used for a short period of time after a little treatment. Everything else can just be left to become a pile of rust here. After all, it's a long way from where steel can be smelted, and its value itself is not at all comparable to freight.
