Chapter 608 Why does this subway look so familiar?
It didn't take long for the people in the Church of Silence to arrive at the subway.
First, several of the most perceptive burials raised their heads and looked into the depths of the passage.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a sound, a metallic clang, right inside."
“I think I heard it too.”
"Hey, don't push forward! The conductor just said not to cross the yellow line!"
"Hey, it's okay. Can I still die?"
Patriarch Ignatius narrowed his eyes, did not speak, but just stared at them with a cold gaze. The burialists who were eager to try immediately retreated with their heads down.
The buried are almost immortal, and it is easy for them to subconsciously lose their fear of death.
They didn't have to wait too long. With a clang sound, a steam train drove into the platform.
“Is this the train?”
"It's huge! Even bigger than the one I saw before!"
Nini shook her finger. "Not really. The train in the north is still bigger. This subway has been reduced in size to run underground. At least it doesn't have a standard machine gun emplacement on the front anymore. Look, I had to duck my head to get in."
As Nini spoke, she walked into the carriage.
Whether it is buildings or tools, Castel has adapted them for the Banshees, and the subway running in the webway is also designed according to the Banshees' body shape.
Nini entered the subway a little awkwardly. She was three meters tall and could barely walk.
The buried people followed with curiosity and surprise. They had actually seen the steam train from afar when they were in the north, but they didn't have the time to ride it.
When they were pulled back later, they were all in a coma. This was the first time they saw the internal structure of the train with their own eyes.
"So, so beautiful!"
“It’s so spacious inside!”
"Why do you feel familiar?"
Unlike Northern trains that focus on freight and only transport people as a side job, Castel's network system is specifically optimized for passenger transportation.
Although Castel still maintains a high degree of fortification, it has enough room to pursue comfort. The subway has also been completely redesigned in the newly designed network system. Hughes personally participated in the research and development, and he is quite authoritative in this area.
After all, he had actually taken the subway.
Most of the trains in the North are modular carriages without fixed seats, but all the subway carriages are equipped with seats. However, the subway in Castres does not pursue large-scale transportation. After all, the population on the island is not large, so the seat arrangement is more similar to that of high-speed rail, with rows of seats.
Like on Blue Star, the subway seats here are also made of metal. The polished steel surface reflects a sharp light, which has a unique beauty.
Nini bent down and walked a little inside with her head down, found an empty seat at random, reached out and pulled a lever next to the seat, and the whole row of chairs was flipped to the side. She turned sideways and walked in. The space was just enough for her to use, and she didn't feel cramped, nor did she waste too much space.
This was designed by Hughes.
But even though the space was large enough, Nini's head was still pressed against the carriage. The height of the entire carriage was just over two meters, less than three meters, and she still couldn't stand up straight.
Nini reached out and opened the lock on the ceiling, then pushed the cover to the side, and an empty window appeared on the top of the train.
Nini stretched her body comfortably and felt just fine now.
And it's convertible.
This was designed by Monica.
It has to be said that Monica's design simply and crudely solves the problem of the subway car being too narrow, and you can also take a walk and breathe some fresh air.
When Monica proposed this plan, Hughes was stunned. He had never thought of opening a skylight in the subway before.
There are some safety hazards when opening the sunroof, but those are for ordinary people. Banshee can solve most of the problems, and non-banshees don't need to open the sunroof.
As for whether it is dangerous to stick your head out of the window or whether the howling wind will make the riding experience uncomfortable, these are not problems for the Banshee.
Gwen looked at Nini with envy. They all took the subway, but she took a convertible.
She couldn't experience it even if she wanted to. Although Gwen was tall, she was no more than three meters tall, so she couldn't stick her head out.
Wait, stick your head out?
She glanced at Nora casually, but Nora already knew her character and immediately rushed over with a ball: "No! Leave me! Outside the car!!!"
"No, no, Lady Nora, you misunderstood me. Stop bumping into her, stop bumping into her. Everyone is watching us!"
This is a lie.
The people in the Church of Silence had no time to watch the two of them fighting. The priests sighed and looked at the various facilities in the subway.
"What is this pillar? A weapon?"
"It should be. If you encounter an enemy attack, you can pull it out for self-defense. That's why it's nailed to the ground with so many rings on it?"
"Why does this layout look familiar?"
"Is the seat made of steel? It's shiny and looks nice."
“Why is there a small door in the middle?”
"Look at the words above. This is the connecting area of the carriages. Smoking is prohibited."
"Is there a toilet? Why isn't there a toilet?"
"How could there be a toilet? Look, Nini stuck her head out. It's so windy outside. If there was a toilet, wouldn't the excrement be stuck on her face?"
Nini drew her head back in horror.
"Ms. Nini, is there any other use for this type of carriage?" asked a short burial girl.
"Other uses? What uses?" Nini looked around in confusion and scratched her head with some effort.
"Like, prayer?"
"ah?"
"Sorry, I just felt that the style of this subway looked familiar, and then it suddenly occurred to me that this layout is very similar to a church!"
The churches of the Sanctuary of Silence are always built with white crow stone, which is very expensive, so the space is often a bit cramped.
When outsiders visit, they are often deeply impressed by their narrow churches. Even the chapels used for prayers and masses are relatively narrow and long.
This carriage is also narrow and long, with rows of seats.
Oh, the churches in the Sanctuary of Silence generally do not have skylights.
"Anyway, this really looks like our temple!"
Nini looked at the other priests. Most of them also felt this sense of familiarity, but some of them had not figured out the reason yet, and some priests even started praying subconsciously.
"Praying in the subway? We don't have that custom."
"But I just saw several clergymen here praying?"
Pray? Here?
Nini blinked and walked in the direction the girl pointed.
