Chapter 268: Steam Core
Several pages had been copied from the New City system: [Technology Tree], [Policy Code], [Work Arrangements], [City Status].
Link kept experimenting with how to make use of them—after all, nothing in this world was truly useless.
Ordinary enough when displayed on an intelligent terminal, once copied into the system they became extraordinary.
Without any communication device, the system streamed Qiong’s updates and New City’s status straight into his mind. On the [City Status] page, he could see both ongoing and completed constructions, from the energy tower to his small clinic.
The energy tower page contained a wealth of details, including the status of key components.
The small clinic’s page, however, was completely blank except for one line: “Heat Rank 2.”
What was the difference between the energy tower and the clinic? Simple—the energy tower was a complex mechanical structure, while the clinic was just a building.
That gave him an idea.
He connected both a mechanical ticker and an electronic counter to the clinic. Then, opening the clinic’s page in his mind, he saw the mechanical ticker appear beneath “Heat Rank 2.”
