Hao Ren was stunned beyond word. "Your city is a spaceship?"
Shaqira and Sorma looked puzzled. The latter froze for a while before she asked, "What?"
"Don't you know your own city?" The siren's response surprised Hao Ren. He pointed to the nameplates on the pipe next to him. "Look at this, the Nasaton. This is obviously the naming scheme of a spacecraft. We have just passed a facility called a resonant wheel. Its written operating instructions indicate that it's a device used to offset the changes in water pressure during the acceleration process. Besides, there is this thin pipe on your left where its sign indicates that it leads to the engine compartment—why would a city need an engine? Only vehicles have this thing."
Shaqira froze for a long while before she came to her sense and grabbed Hao Ren's arm suddenly. "You know the siren script? You know what these things mean? Where did you learn it from?"
