一座接在火山上的村子
Polly finds the same underground heat that cooked lunch also fills a giant public pool and warms homes, running the whole town with no fire.

那些热水注满了附近一座大浴场。一个大水池一年到头都是温的,不需要水泵,也不需要锅炉。村里的小浴堂用的是同样的水。水里的铁把它变成了深橙色。
有些人家甚至用地下的热来烧自家的热水,不需要热水器。波莉明白了,整个村子都靠底下沉睡的火山运转:煮饭、暖浴、供暖,没有火,也没有燃料。
她坐在大橙色水池边上,感觉到它的温度。一个建在这么多热量之上的地方,找到了聪明的用法。
