Vol 6 Chapter 3158: Pippi Castle

   Chapter 3158 Pippi Castle
   The dome that enveloped Pippi Castle was golden, pure and dazzling. But the interior of Pippi Castle was a gray patch, the sky couldn't see its original color, and it was as dim as the dark sky before the storm.
   Under such a dark dome, there are reinforced concrete floors and pyramid-like spires.
   Let’s call it the Pyramid Room for now.
  This kind of pyramid house can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages. The poor pyramid house is made of spliced ​​metal plates, and the color is very fancy; while the slightly better pyramid house is a pure metal house without any patches.
   Pyramid houses of different materials and sizes, the only similarity is that the spires of the pyramid houses, that is, where the chimneys are, are all bubbling with the same thick smoke.
   Even if he was separated by several hundred meters, Angel could smell the outrageous metallic smell in the thick smoke.
  These thick black and gray smoke gathered in mid-air, forming a low black cloud over the city.
   Seeing this, Angel already understood why the sky of Pippi Castle was so dim, it was caused by pollution.
   In a trance, Angel had the illusion of being in the country of Yirong. The biggest advantage of Yi Rongguo is the outstanding machinery; the biggest disadvantage is the inferior air that is enough to kill people.
"Although there is no strict division of Pippi Castle, there is only a distinction between inner and outer urban areas, and here is neither the inner city nor the outer city, but a transitional area." Luigi's voice came over: "Basically all the people living here live here. It's from the Dome Guard, or, in other words, Piruxiu, who doesn't want to pay the air tax and wants to do heavy pollution experiments."
   "Guards, I can understand. What is this air tax?" Angel looked at Luigi suspiciously.
Luigi: "It literally means that there are isolation hoods in the inner city and the outer city, which can purify the pollution generated by the experiment, but running the isolation hood requires a lot of crystals, and the crystal gap here needs to be made by Piluxiu himself. The so-called air tax."
"The air tax in the outer urban area is slightly lower, but the purification effect of the isolation cover is also weak, and there is some pollution in the air, but it is not as serious as the transition area; there is basically no pollution in the inner urban area, but the air tax is relatively high. Taller."
   Maybe this is also a feature of Pippi Castle?
   Pilusius was an inventor per capita.
   And any invention requires a lot of trial and error experiments, and each experiment may bring pollution. Especially in the experiments of heavy machinery and heavy chemical industry, the pollution is more serious... In order to have a good environment, Piluxiu invented the purification isolation cover, but the cost of operation is too high, which is why the air tax is said.
"In Piluxiu's own words, this is the price of invention, an inevitable period of pain, but it can be solved." Luigi said at this time, and added: "This is what Archduke Pixiu said. , After he said these words, he also let many Piluxiu put his invention direction into the isolation cover, committed to the development of isolation cover with low energy consumption and high purification efficiency. Although it has not achieved results yet, according to the skin Lu Xiu's enthusiasm for invention, it is estimated that it will not take many years to invent it."
  Luigi said it with emotion.
   In other respects, Pilu Xiu is everyone's shout, but in terms of invention enthusiasm and invention results, they have to admit that they have a very good set.
   "Who is Archduke Pixiu you're talking about?"
  Luigi: "Is that the contemporary ruler of Pippi Castle, similar to... king?"
  Angol nodded understandingly, it seems that Archduke Pixiu is the ruler here.
   "He's also an inventor?"
"That's right, but his inventions, I don't remember anything particularly outstanding; it's his brother, and his father, who are well-known inventors in Pirucci." Take a look at the family of Grand Duke Pixiu.
   In simple terms, it is a family of inventions. Archduke Pixiu was able to sit in the position of the ruler, not only because of his own talent, but also because of the shadow of his elders.
Although Archduke Pixiu himself has no talent for invention, he is very clear about the importance of invention to Piluxiu. During his reign, he vigorously promoted the invention of Piluxiu civilians. Even though there was the problem of excessive pollution, he It has indeed brought the Piluxiu family to a new level. Many high-tech inventions were invented by the commoner Piluxiu.
   Inventions such as the long feet on the dome and the isolation cover are all inventions of the commoner Piluxiu.
   Archduke Pixiu is also promoting Piluxiu's excellent inventions to the outside world when he vigorously promotes the invention. The reason why Piluxiu can support the multi-ethnic regular gathering this time is because of the power of Archduke Pixiu.
   Judging from the current situation, Grand Duke Pixiu is a "bright master".
   While chatting about the current situation of Piluxiu, they moved forward, and soon, they reached the depths of the transition zone.
   Along the way, Angel also saw a lot of Piluxiu.
   Their appearance is similar to the billions they have seen before. They are all green-skinned dwarves, most of which are less than one meter. The only difference is that Duoyi wears very luxurious clothes, while these Piluxiu are very casual.
   However, because they were not well dressed, Angel also solved a doubt that had arisen in his heart when he saw more than 100 million before: Does Piluxiu have hair?
  The answer is: yes.
   It's just very sparse, and the top of the head looks like there are about a hundred hairs?
   With such a volume, with their bright foreheads and big bull's eyes, they look more "wise".
"These are the commoners Piruxiu." Luigi: "In the past many years, they have no rights, starting from the Grand Duke Pixiu... not right, starting from the father of the Archduke Pixiu, that is, more than a thousand years. Before, the commoner Piluxiu gradually entered the stage."
   "Up to now, the commoner Pirush has been free to invent."
Speaking of this, a dark-faced Piluxiu ran out from a pyramid house with thick smoke not far away. He was dressed in poor clothes, but his mouth was "Break up, blow up, this experiment." The subject is over, it, I can only apply for a subsidy."
  I don't know what he blew up, but it looks like some experiment went wrong.
   The poor Piluxiu can also make inventions, and he can apply for subsidies without materials. From this, it can be seen that the Grand Duke Pixiu really opened the era of national inventions.
   walked a few hundred meters further, the road is still full of pyramid houses, most of which are billowing with smoke, only a few shops are full of neon colors, and there are masks around, which seem to isolate the pollution from the outside world.
   "The mini-isolation cover, which crystallizes once a month, has no purification function except to isolate pollution." Luigi: "So, it can only be used as a shop, and no experiments can be done inside."
   Looking at the colorful shops, Luigi sighed: "Unfortunately, the shops here are basically closed except for a dye shop. I guess they all go to the Crystal City, or I can take you in."
  Angol: "..." He didn't crystallize again, and shopping was in vain. Moreover, you can also go to the party, so there is no need to waste time here.
   They walked for another five minutes and finally saw the outer city of Pippi Castle.
  The huge mask isolates the rolling pollution in the transition area.
   You can vaguely see the building inside through the light cover... It is still the pyramid room, but the size, specifications and external decoration of the pyramid room are different.
  The outer city also has guards, but there are far fewer guards than those on the side of the dome.
   When they saw Angel coming over, the eyes of the guards lit up obviously, and there was a sinister smile on their faces, as if they regarded Angel as a fat sheep.
   However, when they saw Luigi behind Angel, the expressions of the guards changed immediately. They stood up straight and did not look sideways, as if they really regarded themselves as the pillars of the castle and the star of the guards.
   "Why are you here, Mr. Luigi? Long time no see." A guard who had changed his face before greeted him with a smile.
  Luigi didn't intend to talk to the guard, took out his pass and handed it to him, saying, "We're going to see Barbaregon and find a separate trailer to take us to the inner city."
  Guard: "That fee..."
   "Are you still embarrassed to charge?" Luigi sneered. He wanted to say a few words, but considering the time issue, he didn't argue and just said, "If you really want to charge, it will be on Babaregon's head."
   Guard Piluxiu said with a bitter look on his face when he heard this: "However, Master Babaregon didn't pay the previous fee..."
  Luigi: "Then go rush."
   "I, we dare not."
  Luigi: "Then I'll rush."
  Guardian Piluxiu thought for a while, but shook his head: "No, then the Lord Barbaregon is really here, we are afraid of being swallowed."
   Luigi sneered: "It's hard to swallow an ant with its small mouth."
   Luigi's words were nothing to him personally, and Angel didn't feel any problem when he heard it, but the surrounding Pirush guards all stepped back dozens of steps, with a look of horror on their faces.
   There are even guards who have weak legs and need to hold on to the railing with both hands.
   "Big big... big..." Piluxiu guard: "Don't joke, sir, we don't dare to listen to such words."
After   Guardian Piluxiu finished speaking, he looked at the others around him: "You didn't hear it, did you?"
   A group of Piluxiu nodded one after another, their faces unabated with fear.
   It can be seen from this that they are very clear that Babarregon's minefield is a miniature body, and Luigi dared to say this kindly. They dare not speak at all, let alone listen.
   "Counsel." Luigi said angrily.
  Pirush guard seemed not to hear, and bowed his waist to signal Luigi and Angel to move forward: "I will arrange a separate trailer for the two of them now, the cost, the cost... I will record it in..."
   His eyes rolled around, and finally settled on a nearby Pirush guard who was slumped on the ground: "It's on your head."
   In the eyes of the other party who wanted to cry without tears, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master, I will show you the way."
   On the way to the trailer station, Luigi said to Angel: "Actually, the pass for foreigners like us can take the trailer for free, which is stipulated by Grand Duke Pixiu."
   "But, in this kind of delegating matter, Piluxiu has a lot of ways to drill, anyway, the final result is to collect crystals."
   "I also gave it at first, until Babarregon told me the truth..."
   Since then, Luigi has not given crystals anyway.
   Luigi's remarks did not deliberately avoid the guards of Piluxiu. The other party clearly heard it, but he did not refute, and even said with a smile: "This is not actually a doorway, this is a business opportunity."
   "Furthermore, the Grand Duke knew that this matter did not stop it, which means that this matter can be done."
  Luigi said angrily: "Duke Pixiu didn't stop it, because this matter is not big, and there are few outsiders who come to your Pippi Castle."
   "My lord, I don't understand. It's because there are only a few people here, so we have to seize the hard-won business opportunities."
   Luigi was speechless, but he didn't bother to refute, he just turned his head and said to Angel silently: Look, this is Piluxiu.
  …
   The so-called trailer is somewhat similar to the sky tree vine bus in the savage cave, but the bus of Pippi Castle is already an all-metal carriage, and the overhead track also covers the entire castle inside and outside.
   They are riding on an aerial trailer, which can quickly reach the inner city from the outer city by using the track extending in all directions.
   And Barbaregon is in the inner city.
  The interior space of the trailer is quite spacious, but the seat height is a bit low, so low that they can't sit down at all, but this is normal, after all, the trailer is more in line with Piluxiu's height.
   The speed of the trailer is very fast, a few points faster than the tree rattan bus, but its shortcomings are also obvious.
   That is, when it travels on the track, the roar is very loud, and it will continue to emit steam. Although it will be absorbed by the isolation cover at the first time, people sitting in the trailer can still smell a little pungent smell.
   But, these are small issues.
   As long as the trailer can reach the inner city quickly, this little problem is still acceptable.
  From the inside of the trailer, you can clearly see the scenery of the outer city.
   Indeed, the outer city is much more comfortable than the transition area. Although there are also smoking pyramid houses here, the smoke disappears in mid-air.
  The ground of the outer city was also trimmed, flat and clean. There are shops everywhere and neon signs lit up.
   That is... 90% of the shops are closed.
   Not only are the merchants closed, but there are very few Piluxiu, and it is estimated that they all went to Crystal City.
   It is worth mentioning that after observing the shops, Angel found that the largest and most numerous shops here are... dye shops and dental clinics?
   This surprised Angel a little. He originally thought that the material store in Pippi Castle should be bigger and more, but the result was very different from what he thought?
   Perhaps seeing Angel's doubts, Luigi on the side said, "Are you wondering why there are so many dental clinics and dye shops?"
   "Actually, I also had this doubt when I first came here, and then Babaregon told me the answer."
   "Most of Pirucci's teeth are actually fine. The problem is...their brains."
