on the matter of the ruin in chapter 32

Spoiler:

Anyone else here thinks it's modelled after the ancient city of Lou Lan? and the railway somehow sounds like the Silk Road? I mean, this railroad connects Xing and Ametris across a desert like Silk Road connects China and Europe across a desert. And Lou Lan served as a midstop of the Silk Road like that ruin as a midstop between Xing and Ametris. Also Lou Lan is now a ruin, and there are legends saying it was destroyed overnight...
