"How is our city?" Zasna, who was sitting opposite Ma En, looked at him and said with a smile, "It shouldn't be much worse than your city today, right?"
At this moment, they had left the woods, and when they were still some distance away from the city, they and Zasna boarded this vehicle that looked like a miniature floating warehouse. They would decide to transport themselves in this way. It's normal, after all, my identity is quite special here.
At this moment, Ma En was standing in front of the window watching the Titan City.
The city of the future—this was Ma En’s first impression after seeing The Ninth City.
There are various buildings with weird shapes everywhere on the ground. Ma En can see that the structure of these buildings is unreasonable - to be precise, it is unreasonable based on the level of modern technology. Moreover, some of these buildings are high and some are low, regardless of whether they are high or low. The shapes and materials are all different, and there is no particularly unified style.
In other words, in fact, there is no particularly unified style in his eyes. Maybe at this moment, he sees these buildings just like primitive people see modern cities. primitive people would also feel that the gap between modern buildings and rooms is too large. But in fact, in the eyes of modern people, the places where they live actually maintain the same style.
Although these buildings looked different and extremely weird, when Ma En saw them, he felt that they looked particularly comfortable, as if they were a group of large-scale art works.
And at a slightly higher position, there is a giant floating island suspended in mid-air. There are also a variety of dazzling buildings on it just like the land. The buildings on these islands are far higher in height and complexity than Land and urban architecture in modern society cannot be produced by modern technology at all.
In the entire city, there are only a dozen tall towers standing on the ground in the distance with almost the same appearance. They do not look like ordinary buildings. Marn speculated that they may have some special functions.
But what really caught his eye were the non-human Titans he had seen in that town. There were various flesh-and-blood and mechanical Titans on the streets here. These semi-mechanical creatures with animal characteristics were all over the streets, and some of them were in the streets. They are positioned like pets or wild animals in the city, but more often than not, they are like some kind of vehicle or special equipment. Nearly 70% of the vehicles that are like vehicles are traveling in the sky, but their speed is It is also obviously faster and more flexible than human transportation in modern cities.
This also made Ma En a little more wary of the civilization in the Titan ruins. He originally expected that the prosperity of this civilization should be slightly lower than what he saw now. This was actually because of the high tower and the scene in the town. It gave him wrong expectations, but now it seems that this place is much more prosperous than a modern city.
In addition, there are many similarities between this place and modern cities. For example, although Titan is in a state of preparation for war, there are no walls that are common in ancient magical cities, and there are miniature floating islands on land and in mid-air. The streets above all look like the streets of a modern city, surrounded by a variety of places for Titans to live and socialize.
Although he was not particularly close to the city, even at this distance, he could realize that the city in front of him was probably the most prosperous he had ever seen, and it was probably also the most technologically advanced.
So when faced with her question, Ma En said truthfully:
"Not only is it no worse than us, your city looks much more prosperous than ours. It seems that you also frequently use supernatural technology in society..."
Zasna raised her eyebrows slightly and said:
"Don't you use it?"
Mahn replied:
"For reasons I don't understand, we are extremely restrained in the use of abnormal technology, and even conceal the existence of the supernatural world from most ordinary people. After all, we all call it abnormal power."
Zasna's face showed pure curiosity:
"Why?"
"I don't know..." Ma En shook his head slightly at first, and then said as if he remembered something, "But I have heard a theory before, but I didn't particularly believe it at the time.
"Actually, this has something to do with the gods."
After hearing these two words, Zasna immediately became interested:
"Gods?"
Marx, of course, addressed this theme specifically:
"Yes, someone in the Federation once mentioned that we covered up the abnormal power in order to weaken the gods, because if ordinary people see these things, it will intensify their imagination of the existence of gods."
But in fact, Ma En feels that there must be other reasons for the federation to be so early. The gods are indeed dangerous to the federation, but simply for this purpose, the federation is more likely to adopt other more cost-effective methods.
Zasna nodded thoughtfully and said:
"This makes sense. Before the rise of the Titans, the gods had tried to use so-called religion and belief to attribute all supernatural phenomena to their power, in order to once again strengthen their own existence.
"But we soon saw through their lies, and then there was the great war that turned them into what they are today. It seems that the rulers of mankind are now aware of their danger."
Ma En showed a curious look:
"That war?"
Zasna smiled and said:
"We call ourselves Titans, and this word means one who will defeat the gods. A long time ago, as the ancestors and descendants of mankind, we fought a bloody war with the gods. You will know this.
"In the place we arrange for you, there will be records of our past history to help you understand what kind of race we are. Since we want to understand today's human civilization through you, we should sincerely tell you about it. What exactly are we and what is our relationship with you?"
This was indeed what Ma En wanted to know, so he accepted it unceremoniously:
"Thank you. I am indeed a little confused about my current situation."
Zasna looked at him and said:
"But you may have noticed that we came immediately after they found you, and we didn't let you enter our city directly. In fact, what we are riding in now can be regarded as a mobile prison.
"For your own safety and ours, you will not come into contact with Titan civilians. If you do accidentally encounter them, please do not expose your human identity.
"Your existence is still top secret.
"And we have arranged a place for you. Please don't leave at will. We haven't conducted the most basic inspection on you yet. You still haven't cleared us of being a spy for the gods."
Ma En nodded:
"Of course, I'll pay attention."
