Chapter 16: Ivankov's Observations (I)

In the port city of the capital of life, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also waiting for the arrival of Ivankov and Imaguna on the dock early.

After seeing the two of them disembarking from the ship, the official hurriedly greeted them: "Welcome, Your Majesty King Ivankov, your visit to the capital of life is really vibrant." ”

Ivankov nodded and said, "You are really polite, the capital of life is the most beautiful and spectacular city in the world that I have ever seen." ”

The officials of the entire Foreign Affairs Department of the entire Noah Kingdom could not find fault with the foreign guests when they received them, and they were quite professional, and I am afraid that even the world government could not do it. Although Yune was born as a pirate, the kingdom of Noah was not affected by the pirates at all, but became a normal and advanced country.

The official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave up his seat, opened the door and asked: "Please, Your Majesty Ivankov, Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the castle for a long time. ”

6 tires, the shape of a classic car. The long nose of the car is covered with various pipes, the longest of which runs from the front to the rear. This is a steam car introduced by Noah's kingdom, a fairly convenient means of transportation.

Due to the emergence of the Mipo clan, steam technology has been greatly developed, and the entire Noah's kingdom seems to have become an industrialized city.

The roaring machines and the old houses blend together perfectly. The city has a steampunk feel, but the abundance of sunlight and clean streets make the whole city bright. It's more like the city where magic and industry coexist in some light novels.

Ivankov gently stepped on the pedals of the car and sat down in the car with a bent over. The soft seats, transparent glass, and luxurious interior made Ivankov feel quite comfortable, and he praised again and again: "Yunero BOY is really luxurious, so enjoyable." ”

The official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the side said with a smile: "The vehicles that receive foreign guests are all like this. ”

Soon the vehicle was moving, and it drove along the road towards the Castle of Life.

Next to the road are several railways that extend from the port to the container freight station in the industrial area. At this moment, there happened to be a steam train on the railway, which was "whining", and kept spitting billowing black smoke overhead. Behind it, there are rows of freight trucks loaded with containers.

"Your Majesty Ivankov, that's a steam train, unloading from the docks to industrial raw materials for processing in the industrial zone. ”

Ivankov looked at the train outside the window, and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not forget to introduce him, and they always liked to proudly introduce these novelties to foreign guests. Soon you will get the surprised expressions of the foreign guests, like hillbillies, responding to the new food in the city of life. And these officials are naturally very useful for such expressions, as if they are praising themselves. As a member of Noah's kingdom, he is superior.

Ivankov's expression was indeed expected by the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was surprised: "There are so many goods on that train, oh my God, I don't dare to imagine how big the industrial area of Yunero BOY is." ”

As a house appeared in front of Ivankov's eyes, separating the road from the tracks, the rails turned a corner, and the train headed for the industrial zone on the other side.

On the streets of the city, the main roads have also been replaced with cement roads. It was so flat that the car drove on it, and the passengers sitting in it were uncomfortable.

As the traffic light at the intersection turned on, Ivankov's car slowly stopped.

Ivankov wondered: "What's going on?"

Ivankov, who has been fighting all year round, is naturally extremely sensitive to the sudden situation, and he saw the official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs turn his head and say with a smile: "It's a traffic light, and in every city in Noah's Kingdom, the people must abide by all kinds of laws and regulations. Similarly, cars also have their own regulations, which are traffic laws. ”

"When the red light is on, the car has to stop and wait for a pedestrian to pass by on the crosswalk line in front of the car. When the green light is on, the car can pass again. If you don't follow the traffic rules, the whole road will look unusually congested and chaotic. ”

Ivankov sighed, and sure enough, he saw a group of children with little yellow hats carrying school bags and wearing light blue short sleeves, happily walking from one street to the other.

"Humans, fish-peoples, merfolks, small peoples, furs, many other races. ”

Seeing the children's laughter, Ivankov was surprised, this was the first time he had seen so many people of different races able to get together harmoniously, freely and equally.

The official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs smiled slightly, and then introduced: "In the Noah Kingdom, all intelligent races have equal rights, and they are all children of the Noah Kingdom, enjoying every treatment of the Noah Kingdom. This, of course, will also fulfill every obligation for Noah's kingdom. ”

Ivankov nodded, looking at the merfolk child who was floating in the sky with bubbles and holding hands with a long-handed child, Ivankov muttered, "Yunero BOY seems to be at the forefront of the world in terms of racial equality. ”

"By the way, what are these kids doing?"

Speaking of this group of children, the official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked proud and introduced: "They are all elementary school students." ”

"Elementary school students?"

"Well, there's an elementary school around here. The official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nodded and continued: "In the Noah Kingdom, we have implemented a nine-year compulsory education, as long as the child reaches the age of 6, he must be sent to primary school, and after the completion of primary school, there are three junior high schools, which are free of charge. In His Majesty's heart, the people of Noah's kingdom were a group of literate people, not a group of illiterate people. ”

And according to the education system of Noah's kingdom, in addition to elementary and junior high schools, there are also high schools and universities. ”

The official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs paused for a moment, waiting for Ivankov to digest the knowledge, and then continued: "The junior high school and the high school are collectively called the middle school, and the full name is the junior high school and the senior high school. After graduating from high school, you can also go on to university to continue your studies. ”

Ivankov nodded and praised: "It is worthy of being a Yunero BOY, so powerful, if you say that you are a male or a master, you can definitely afford it." ”

If the Noah Kingdom is given a few years to develop, it will definitely become the most powerful country in the world. The future will always be for young people, and the future of young people in Noah's kingdom will be limitless.

After a while, when all the children of all ethnic groups crossed the road. The green light came on, and the car moved again.
