554 Strength
"Hey, master, where is the next place?"
Ni Tianyang poked his head out of the window and asked Zuo Teng loudly.
Zuo Teng drove the car and glanced back coldly, but still replied: "It's Mengyang City, I'll be there at night, and I'll rest there tonight." ”
"Oh. Ni Tianyang responded, shrank his head into the window, lowered the curtain, and ignored Zuo Teng's gaze.
He leaned against the wall of the carriage with his arms folded impatiently, his fingers on his arms little by little, and complained in his mouth: "I knew that going out was boring!
He is the kind of person who doesn't care who invites him out when he speaks.
Xu Wen knew his character, turned a deaf ear to his words, and only acted as a fart. He leaned on the other side of the carriage and was looking at the scenery outside, his eyes were cautious and serious.
Even Lin Lin was opposite him, looking at the same scenery as him, his eyes shining like light.
By the way, Lian Linlin sighed very satisfied, and asked Xu curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at what to do if there is going to be a road here. Xu asked.
"Isn't this the road under our feet?" asked Lian Linlin curiously.
"That's because Lulin and Mengyang are both big cities in the Western Desert, so there are official roads between the two, which can be driven, and the roads are easier to walk. But after Mengyang, it's not so convenient. And beyond the big city there are small towns, and outside the small cities there are villages. There is no road in between, and it is very troublesome for those who live in it to get around. ”
He glanced at Ni Tianyang and said, "Tianyang doesn't like to travel because he spends too much time on the road." The long time on the road is because the road is not good, and the car is not good. What if one day you could face the western desert and the south of the Yangtze River at night? What if one day, it only takes two or three hours to go from the green forest to the Tianshan Mountains? What if one day you could soar into the air and cross thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant?"
When Xu Wen said the last sentence, Lian Lin Lin and Ni Tianyang subconsciously looked up together, but they could only see the dim roof of the car.
"Can the world really become like that?" Lian Linlin asked softly, his voice full of yearning.
"It's hard to say now, but people move forward step by step, and I believe that one day it will. Mankind is flesh and blood, but in this wasteland he has built cities and roads. When you think about it, it's really amazing. Who can guarantee that human beings will not be able to make the world like that?" Xu asked.
Xu Wen looked up and saw Lian Tianqing looking at him, with something indescribable in his eyes.
Xu Wen didn't look away, and looked back at him straight.
This is indeed the thought contained in his heart, maybe it is not the same as Lian Tianqing's, but he still wants to convey it to the other party and listen to his thoughts.
Lian Tianqing didn't speak, Xu Wen just wanted to say something, but Ni Tianyang's voice next to him came first: "So what, I still don't want to go out." He thought about it for a long time and muttered.
Xu Wen smiled. Of course, even in that era of extremely developed transportation, there were still many dead houses......
In the evening, they came to Mengyang, Zuo Teng skillfully went to go through the formalities and entered the city, and Xu Wen looked at the new city curiously.
Xu Wen had heard the name of this city when he was in the green forest, and knew that it was a big city in the Western Desert region, but he had never been there.
Compared with the green forest, Mengyang looks much more "rustic", the whole city is earthy yellow, the houses are low, and the city walls are also very low. It's winter, and the trees in the city are withering, but it's clear that there are only a few crooked-necked trees here, and there is no greenery at all.
In the evening, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and there were no chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, only a bleak frozen soil.
Zuo Teng skillfully led them to an inn not far from the city gate, arranged for them to stay, and said, "I will stay for one night." ”
He found a soup woman out of nowhere, found hot water to pour it, handed it to Lian Linlin and said, "It's a little cold at night, if it's cold, you call me to go to the kitchen to fetch water." ”
Along the way, Xu Wen also saw that Zuo Teng was a little yin and yang when he called him a little young master, and he was really dedicated to Lian Linlin, the "little lady", and respected Lian Tianqing even more, and he didn't know how Lian Tianqing subdued him.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Teng!" Lian Linlin responded crisply, his smiling eyes squinting like a crescent moon that had just risen in the sky.
The four of them ate and ate in the courtyard for a while, and they were about to go back to their rooms.
At this kind of season, there must be no one living in Mengyang's inn, and Zuo Teng arranged a room for one of them.
I'm going to be on the road before dawn tomorrow, and of course I'll have to go to bed early tonight.
Xu Wen was about to turn around and go back when he heard Lian Tianqing's voice: "Xu Wen, you wait a minute." ”
Xu Wen stopped and turned around, and called out respectfully, "Master." ”
Lian Tianqing turned around and walked to the front yard, and Xu Wen followed him.
At this time it was very cold in the yard, but fortunately neither of them was too cold, and after a while the two stood still, and the nearby horses were disturbed and stirred, but soon they quieted down, lowered their heads and continued to graze.
At this time, it was getting dark very quickly, and the twilight quickly turned into night, and the huge curtain was torn around, but even Tianqing did not speak.
"Teacher......"
Xu asked. ”
After a while, Xu Wen was about to take the initiative, and Lian Tianqing happened to speak at the same time as him.
"Xu Wen, tell me about your world. Lian Tianqing said.
"What?" Xu asked, startled.
Lian Tianqing found out that he was actually not from this world?
"What? I mean the world you envision in the car. In your vision, transportation is so convenient, what do you need, what will it bring?" Lian Tianqing glanced at him a little strangely, very dissatisfied that he didn't understand what he meant.
"Oh. Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason he was a little disappointed. He thought for a moment and began to speak.
In fact, he didn't need to think about these things at all, it was the world he had seen and experienced with his own eyes.
It grows with him, is engraved in his mind, merges with his blood and bones, and as soon as he closes his eyes slightly, all kinds of details naturally emerge and become words that flow out/out.
"The first important thing to have such convenient transportation is to change the power and have new energy sources. When I was in Tianyun Mountain, I saw a machine that could carry heavy stones up the mountain, which was driven by clockwork and had very limited power. Making machinery with such limited power was originally a dojo in a snail shell, and the work had to be done very delicately. This makes this kind of machinery unpopular, so we have to look for a stable and efficient energy ......"
The development of industrial civilization began with the invention of the steam engine, and energy was the core of everything.
Xu Wen took this world as a starting point and talked eloquently.
There is a lot of what he has learned in textbooks before, and a lot of it is his personal experience. He combined the two to form his own set of theories.
This is also the first time in this world that he has expounded his thoughts so completely.
Lian Tianqing listened quietly, listening very carefully.
