South of the city walls of Tianyuan City, about twenty kilometers away from the South City Gate, an important new facility was in the midst of bustling construction.
This would be the future Tianyuan Station—or rather, Space Shuttle Station.
To the west of the construction site, adjacent to the rails, a new platform for Steel Trains was being built, facilitating the movement of people and material—Tianyuan City was already equipped with Steel Train lines, extending north to Wolf Head Mountain Fortress, bordering the Elf towns to the east, and stretching two to three hundred li (a traditional Chinese unit of distance) to the south, with tracks branching out like tree limbs, reaching important mines.
In the past, Mu Yuan had planned to extend the rail tracks all the way to the southern tip of the island domains, but the plan was scuppered by the catastrophic Sky Rift disaster, nipped in the bud.
Now, the times had changed!
