(Prison Storm event ended!)
Before crossing over, Bai Ye had always wondered how such an enormous mobile city-state could possibly be powered by only one energy source, and just how powerful modern Originium engines truly were.
He only found the answer after arriving in the world of Terra.
Of course, a large mobile city could not possibly have only one power source. An ultra-large mobile city-state like Lungmen was assembled from dozens of smaller mobile districts.
The districts were connected by regional locking mechanisms, and every district possessed an independent power source. At the same time, the resource supply pipelines of each district were also entirely separate.
Whenever the mobile city needed to move, they only had to disengage the regional locks. The mobile city would then become a massive cluster of mobile districts, moving across the land.
Bai Ye could only describe the people who had pioneered this method of moving cities with one word: admirable. It was practically black technology.
Rat King and Bai Ye walked all the way from the slums to the artificial lakeside. Looking at the river that ran through the city, Rat King sighed.
"Ah, honestly, Lungmen was truly at a critical juncture that day. It was a close call..."
The old man leaned against the railing and watched the lake's shimmering surface beneath the sunlight.
The morning sunlight was somewhat crisp, and the breaths they exhaled formed clusters of white mist in the air.
"Because of Chernobog's Core City crashing into us?" Bai Ye reached out and held the railing.
"Yes. Unlocking the regional locks required time and procedures, and starting up the districts' power systems also involved rather complicated steps. Unlocking the clasps, starting the engines, and accelerating enough to evade the collision before the Core City reached us was
