Star Railway: From being adopted by Kafka

"Sorry, I might need to be alone for a while."

Chu Mu heard the words, said goodbye softly, and left the cabin.

He walked towards his room.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming down from the deck, trotting all the way to Chu Mu.

Esta's voice sounded:

"I have probably guessed the truth about Chiri's disappearance!"

"Huh? How should I say it?" Chu Mu stopped.

"First of all, the black sun eats the red sun. This is a completely wrong religious concept! We should analyze this matter from a scientific point of view!" Asda crossed her hips, with a hint of arrogance on her face, "And I just happen to understand a little Astronomical knowledge. I have a guess now that the red sun has not disappeared!"

Chu Mu's face froze slightly.

At this time, Esta continued:

"The red sun just collapsed into a black hole. According to my calculations, after a star of this size collapses into a black hole, its diameter is only about 4000 meters. We can't observe it without professional equipment!"

……

Chapter 75 Brother and Sister

Chu Mu couldn't help asking curiously when he heard Esther's deduction:

"Won't the black hole eat the black sun?"

"No, there is still a distance between it and the black sun, and its own mass has not changed, so the gravitational force generated is still the same. The two are still a stable binary structure, revolving around each other." Esta said seriously , "This is why, even though a sun has disappeared, these planets still stay in their original orbits, without any disorder."

After a pause, she continued:

"To sum up, the red sun has not disappeared, but it can't be observed! We can't be fooled by religious gods!"

"Are you sure?" Chu Mu asked.

"I'm not 100% sure. After all, the red sun disappears too fast. I have never seen a star collapse into a black hole so quickly. I skipped all the processes in the middle." Esta sighed, "But , and I can't think of any other better explanation."

"If you go to Sklint, you will naturally know the truth." Chu Mu said lightly.

"That's right, then you can use the observation equipment there." Esta smiled again.

After the two finished their conversation, Chu Mu walked back to his room and closed the door.

After that, he activated his destiny ability and entered that black and white fictional space.

Chu Mu looked up.

Above the black and white lines, a round of scarlet sun stared at him like a blood-colored eye.

Chu Mu's heart sank slightly.

This round of the sun is a little closer to me than yesterday.

Chu Mu could even feel the scorching heat from the sun.

Ever since the black sun devoured the red sun, such a sun appeared in Chu Mu's black and white fictional space.

He had no doubts that it was the disappearing red sun!

Why, does it show up here?

Why, getting closer and closer to myself?

If you get closer, will you be burned to ashes?

Now, all the mysteries are pointing to one place——

City of Bones, Scriint.

……

On the fourth day of the Possan's voyage, the outdoor temperature was nine degrees, and it encountered the first settlement.

This is the first time Chu Mu and others have come into contact with cities other than Garbage City.

This city is connected by many ships, and it is known as the state of a thousand ships. In fact, there are only a few hundred ships, and the total population is about a few thousand.

When the Posan arrived, it was found that the people here were smashing the connection between the ship and the ship, and each sailed away from the city.

When the disaster came, people were unwilling to attach themselves to small settlements and went to big city-states one after another.

Many of them even wanted to go to the Garbage City, which also reflected that the Garbage City under the leadership of Lu Wan was already considered a powerful force in this area.

In this desperate era of betrayal, a garbage city with a population of 10 is enough to be regarded as a super city-state.

Unfortunately, prosperity is fleeting.

The Posang replenished some supplies here, and dissuaded a few people who wanted to go to the garbage city by the way, and then set off to leave here again.

……

On the ninth day of the Possan's voyage, the outdoor temperature was seven degrees, and the second settlement on the route was reached.

This settlement was also built on floating garbage, with a population of only a few hundred people.

But these hundreds of people, after the disaster, caused serious civil strife.

The governor was killed, and only a few dozen people survived the catastrophe.

The Possang didn't stay here, but the dull-looking people on the shore swam over excitedly when they saw a boat approaching the shore.

In the end, only one lucky person climbed into the boat, and the others were exhausted and sank into the deep sea.

That lucky guy brought everyone the story of the settlement, which cast a shadow over the atmosphere on board.

……

Possang No. 13 days, with an outdoor temperature of four degrees, arrived at the third settlement on the route.

The settlement is locked down and no ships are allowed into port.

Although I don't understand what happened here, but combined with the gunpowder smoke observed in the telescope, I can roughly guess something.

Looks like it's messed up here too.

According to the original plan, the boilers on board were replaced once a week, but none of the boilers were purchased in the first two settlements.

There was a spare set on the Possang, which had been taken out five days before.

If the boiler is not bought in the next two days, the ship will not be able to start.

Everyone's mood is getting worse, just like the weather is getting worse.

……

Possang sailed No. 15 days, the outdoor temperature was three degrees, the boiler of the steam engine was already clogged with scale, and the power loss was severe.

Fortunately, on this day, everyone arrived at a large settlement, with a total of 5 people!

The female governor here was also a scholar, and she had a close relationship with Lu Wan, the governor of Garbage City, and was a close friend who studied together when they were young.

Knowing that the Possang came from Garbage City, the female governor even came here in person to ask the crew about her old friend's recent situation.

The sailor who was questioned did not know that Lu Wan was on the ship incognito.So he told the governor truthfully about what happened to the garbage city, and told her that after the change in the governor's mansion, Lu Wan might have died.

The female governor suddenly became extremely sentimental, and sighed:

"The sky is dark, and all city-states cannot be spared from this disaster. My senior brother has always been my role model, but even he is powerless. Human beings are too small in front of nature, and I don't know. How long will I be able to defend this city-state..."

After saying this, she ordered to give Possang full support and replaced the ship with a brand new steam power system.

Perhaps, in her opinion, this ship away from the garbage city carried a torch guarded by her senior brother.

As a junior sister, she chose to add another light and heat to this torch!

Lu Wan hid, not daring to meet this old friend.

After all, as a senior brother who has given up his oath as governor, what qualifications does he have to meet this junior sister who is still struggling to maintain the city-state?

When parting, the Possang sailed slowly away from the pier. An old man waved goodbye on the shore, and another old man was crying on the hospital bed.

Both of them are not what they used to be, but in Lu Wan's memory, the junior sister who always chattered around him reappeared in his mind——

"Brother, the tutor gave me a project today, please help me guide it! I will treat you to a big meal later!"

"Brother, what do you want to do after graduation, continue to study history?"

"Brother, I want to transfer to history too! It's not interesting to study mechanical manufacturing."

"Brother, I heard you're in love? What does your sister-in-law look like? Show me!"

"Brother, is this your child? You are so good..."

"Senior brother, don't ask me about finding a partner, I haven't seen the right one yet."

"Brother, I haven't contacted you for a long time, how are you?"

"Brother, we are all getting old."

"Brother, the era of betrayal has begun, and we scholars all have the mission of maintaining civilization."

"Brother, when civilization revives, let's end our mission and meet again."

"At that time, I have a lot to say to you."

……

Chapter 76

The newly installed steam engine on Possang is much better than the original one, and its speed is [-] times faster than the original one!

Moreover, the boiler is larger, and there is no need to replace a new boiler for at least two weeks.

According to calculations, this steam engine alone is enough to drive to the capital, Sklint, without breaking it!

Possang sailed No. 18 days, the outdoor temperature was one degree, and encountered a settlement that had become ruins, and the people on it were hiding in it and lingering.

The No. 20 days of sailing on the Possang, the outdoor temperature was zero, and passed by a settlement, which seemed to be preparing for war, and the ships in the port had been armored and refitted.

Possang left as if fleeing.

Possang sailed No.20 for three days, and the outdoor temperature was minus two degrees.
