"You can think of the engine here as a perpetual motion machine. Wilford replied with a smile, "This train is equipped with the most advanced machinery and technology in the world, and it is able to move forward on its own power."

The engine is like a perpetual motion machine that doesn't require any external energy to run forever. "

If there is no affirmation, it is a negation.

Wilford's words have undoubtedly confirmed that there is no perpetual motion machine on this train.

Chu Tianlan let out a long sigh, even though he had guessed the answer before he came, knowing that this so-called "perpetual motion machine" might not exist.

But adhering to the principle of not reasoning with the setting, there is still a trace of luck in his heart.

Maybe this world is technologically special?

It wasn't until he heard that Wilford personally denied the perpetual motion machine that Chu Tianlan was completely out of thought.

"You're not here for a perpetual motion machine, are you?" Wilford asked.

A trace of doubt and surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at Chu Tianlan.

"Yes and not quite. "

Not in a good mood, he stood up, walked to the floor near the iron door, and gently manipulated his telekinesis, easily lifting a piece of the floor.

Beneath the floor, a shirtless kid, only five years old, was working in place of parts.

This poor kid was used to replace aging engine parts to power the Snowpiercer.

Chu Tianlan sneered and closed the floor again. 387

"That's what you told me about perpetual motion machines?" he sneered.

Snowpiercer is known as a perpetual motion machine, but in fact, it can't even run for a hundred years.

In just seventeen years, the situation of the train has already begun to deteriorate, the engine parts are aging, and children have to go in and work manually.

Originally, he envisioned that the perpetual motion machine should be powered by a nuclear fusion reactor to keep the train running continuously for so many years.

But after he personally looked at the mechanical structure below, he realized that he thought too much, and it was not so difficult.

This so-called perpetual motion machine works by harvesting a refrigerant in a high-energy state, releasing energy through processing, restoring a low-energy state and then releasing it back into the atmosphere.

Due to the effects of global warming, the high-energy state of the refrigerant has become saturated and no longer absorbs heat, so the consumption of the train is very small.

How this device worksFor people who don't know how it works, it can indeed be called a perpetual motion machine.

But it is not a real perpetual motion machine, once the refrigerant harvesting device is lost, there will inevitably be a shutdown and freeze to death.

Wilford watched in surprise as Chu Tianlan lifted the floor without moving his hands, and the action of cutting the steak stopped suddenly.

Aliens? Or Mutations?

After all, it was an old man who had experienced strong winds and waves all his life, and he was only slightly surprised, then regained his composure and continued to taste the deliciousness of the steak.

"Yes, the engine of this train is not a perpetual motion machine. He smiled lightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "It's just a gimmick, just like the protein blocks made of cockroaches for those low-level people to eat, all to stabilize the order." Concealment and deception are essentially necessary means for the effective functioning of any society. "

This statement is true to some extent, but when it comes out of the mouth of a loser, it seems somewhat ironic.

Wilford didn't seem to notice this, and he was immersed in his own thoughts.

There's a saying called playing with fire and self-immolation, and it couldn't be more appropriate for Wilford.

Even if Chu Tianlan didn't come to this world, the revolutionary frenzy led by Curtis would inevitably lead this train that had been running for seventeen years to an end.

And all because Wilford accepted those passengers in the rear car.

In fact, Wilford could have abandoned the car where the rear passengers were and left to fend for themselves, so that there would be no subsequent riots.

On the surface, the role of the rear compartment is to provide a steady stream of manpower for the "perpetual motion machine" at the front of the car.

But this role can also be borne by the children in the front compartment.

The passengers at the rear of the car do not participate in production, and it will cause riots again and again, so why is Wilford "ruthless"? and help the tail car provide protein blocks to survive?

The reason can be summed up in two words: balance – balance.

The Snow Nation Train (BBEF), a fortress built by Wilford before the end of the world, is known as the last Noah's Ark of mankind. On this train, the only rule for humanity to survive is balance.

In this peculiar model, all internal friction, production and headcount are maintained within a carefully calculated and controlled safety range.

In order to ensure that the population remains stable and safe, it is sometimes even necessary to intervene and regulate manually.

Excluding the rear of the train, the entire train system has almost perfectly eliminated all unstable factors such as famine, poverty, war, and the gap between rich and poor.

Without the passengers in the rear of the car, trying to break through barriers, this closed-loop system could almost be described as an ideal utopia.

However, precisely because this system is so "balanced", there is no class gap between people, and the order of all carriages can operate almost autonomously.

When there is no class to be suppressed, the survival of control, and class domination, the contradictions of the train are transferred from the tail car to the front car.

The passengers in the tail carriage play a crucial role in this system – they become the opposing class of the entire train system, the object of oppression.

It is precisely because of their presence and the uncertainties they represent that order in the front carriage is maintained, and class antagonisms and internal contradictions are transferred and alleviated.

As long as the snow and ice outside do not melt, this system of perpetual motion machines and snowpiercers will always exist.

However, in this almost perfect balance, there was a fatal loophole - Wilford did not control the pace of revolution in the rear car.

He overestimated his abilities.

He didn't know that Gilliam had a hand left behind when he was working with him.

By the time he realized that the situation had gotten out of control, the situation on the train was completely out of control.

If it weren't for the Star Federation appearing in this world, in two days, this train would be doomed to be destroyed!

"Before you came, everyone here, including me, was trapped on this train, prisoners of this big tin can.

Trains are like the world we live in, and we are the inhabitants of them.

Everyone has their place, and from beginning to end, whether they live or die, they are in between the lines on this train.

And your arrival has changed all that and brought us new hope.

Your appearance has made me see the possibility of freedom again.

I am willing to hand over the leadership of this train to you, and you will be the divine leader of these human beings. "

Wilford's eloquence is indeed excellent, and if a person without sufficient wisdom and judgment is here, such as Curtis, the simple-minded leader of the tail car revolution, he may be convinced. "
