Magic City, on the highway to Pudong Airport.

The white bus was speeding towards its goal, and suddenly the sound of music sounded in the carriage.

Atletico Madrid's ears moved, he took out the phone in his pocket, and answered it casually, "Hey, wife, I'm still on the road, why did you remember to call me?"

Tang Jiayi's voice drilled out of the earpiece, a little urgent, "You haven't taken off yet, have you?"

"No," Atletico frowned, opening the message panel in his mind, and asked at the same time, "What's wrong?"

"It's good that you didn't take off, I just watched the news, Hillary is going to pass through Hawaii, you might as well find a way to postpone the flight!"

"That's it," Atletico smiled, "it's okay, we're faster than it, we'll definitely be ahead of it." ”

This Hillary Clinton is not the wife of the former president, the former secretary of state, or the former presidential candidate, but a hurricane born the day before yesterday and is active.

Hurricanes and typhoons are just common names in different countries, and they are both strong tropical storms in nature. Unlike typhoon nomenclature in the Asia-Pacific region, which contains place, person, animal and plant names, hurricane nomenclature in the Northeast Pacific and Atlantic regions is very regular, and all of them are common names in the United Kingdom and the United States, and at the request of feminist organizations, men and women alternate impartially. Then there was a more hilarious scene, this year's Atlantic Tropical Storm No. 4 is called "Don", and Northwest Pacific Hurricane No. 9 is called "Hillary", and the two storms appeared one after another, turning the hurricane warning into a second "red and blue wrestle", and a sense of joy arose.

Because of the rotation of the earth, cyclones in the northern hemisphere move clockwise, and "Tang" swept away in the northwest direction immediately after its birth, but unfortunately this name did not bring it enough domineering energy, and soon degraded and dissipated due to lack of energy. "Hillary" also moved to the northwest, because of the radius of the turn, is gradually moving away from North America, towards the center of the Pacific Ocean, although the Hawaiian Islands are on the edge of the area it may pass through in the next few days, but after all, it is only an archipelago with a total area of only 16,700 square kilometers, and it is really not easy for a hurricane thousands of kilometers away to accurately hit it after a long run.

Holding the phone in his hand, Atletico Madrid looked disapproving, "In the past 60 years, Hawaii has only experienced four frontal hurricanes, the last two were in 2014 and 1992. In this way, if 'Hillary' wants to reach Hawaii, he will have to cultivate for another 2,500 years. ”

On the other side of the phone, Tang Jiayi chuckled and asked, "What the hell is 2500?"

Smiling slightly, Atletico Madrid did not explain the origin of this number, "You can figure it out yourself." Okay, let's not talk about this, anyway, don't worry, I haven't lived enough, even if I'm full, I won't risk the lives of a planefighter. ”

He said so, and Tang Jiayi over there also put his mind at ease and said: "That's good, I wish you all a smooth journey, oh no, all the way against the wind, forget it, let's have a smooth journey!"

Atletico was amused by the other party's incoherent speech and nodded, "Well, yes, goodbye!"

…… The dividing line that goes back in time......

As expected, 15 hours later, the Jade Bird arrived at its destination safely.

Because of the leap over the date line, they flew in the sky for so long, and the date was still the 21st, but the time was "regressed" from 17 pm to 8 am, and a round of sunrise was rising in the eastern sky.

The sky is thin and cloudy, and the view is very good, and you can see in the distance several large and small islands that look like scattered emeralds on the turquoise sea, as well as the many man-made structures and various ships on the edge of the islands.

Honolulu (Honolulu), next to Pearl Harbor, quickly developed from a small port city exporting sandalwood to a pearl of the ocean with a population of nearly one million. Eighty percent of the state's population lives near Honolulu, which is also the "meeting place" of the Central Pacific region for politics, economy, culture, transportation, and even military.

Because of the unique and important strategic position of the center of the ocean, the US military has set up Hickam Air Force Base and Pearl Harbor Naval Base here, and has deployed powerful weapons including F22 stealth fighters, F15 heavy fighters, attack nuclear submarines, and "Aegis" ships.

The two bases were right next to their destination international airport, and while the planes were hovering over the runway, passengers leaned sideways to the portholes and peeked down at the various national protection artifacts of the world's largest military power.

Atletico Madrid is no exception, he not only watched it himself, but also took advantage of his large knowledge reserve to act as an on-site commentary for everyone.

These people are either colleagues of the research institute, or teachers and juniors of their alma mater, Luda University, but they don't have to deliberately put on the chairman's shelf.

"Hickam Air Base is mainly used by transport troops, and we can see a lot of transport planes and tankers. Of course, there are fighter jets here, and the particularly famous F22 is also here, but this guy is too expensive, and only two were deployed in the past few years, but we didn't have a chance to see it. Over there, the F15 twin-engine heavy fighter waiting to take off behind the butt of the airliner is actually its follower footwasher. Don't look at the F22 and F35 bombing the sky, it is the F15 and F16 brothers who defend the American sky. ”

"The forked bay over there is Pearl Harbor, the slender ship is the legendary 'Aegis', the 'Ticonderoga'-class missile cruiser with a small turret in the tail, and the 'Arleigh Burke'-class missile destroyer without a turret in the tail is a slightly shorter one, and it is this type that often goes to the South China Sea to cause trouble. Pearl Harbor usually does not stop aircraft carriers, and it is said that the aircraft carrier formation is too large, and tens of thousands of people are easy to eat the local poor. There is also a nuclear submarine base here, but the mooring area seems to be empty, and it should be all in the sea. ”

"That small island is Ford Island, and above it is the headquarters of the Third Fleet and the barracks. The particularly long ship next to it is the battleship USS Missouri, which was the result of the surrender of defeat signed by the Japanese army, and now it is a memorial, so if you have time, you can go there to see it and feel the shock of the giant ship's cannon up close. The long white strip on the water next to it is the Arizona Memorial, and below is the battleship Arizona that sank in Pearl Harbor. Okay, the plane is about to land, everyone hurry up and sit down and fasten your seat belts. ”

In a few moments, the Gulfstream G650 landed smoothly on the airport runway, and finally parked safely in the remote stand arranged by the tower.

The gangway opened, and the crowd dressed as a tour group walked out one after another and stepped onto the land of the United States.

Ferries, flatbed vans and trailers arrived in different but boxy heads, the former taking away passengers and cargo from afar, while the latter dragged the plane into the business jet hangar on the other side. A few hours ago, the weather station raised the hurricane rating of Hillary Clinton again, increasing the threat to Hawaii. Just in case, Atletico had to rent an enclosed hangar for their luxury toys, and even the F22 next door didn't usually have such treatment.

On the ferry, Zhu Lingling, assistant to the chairman, introduced the precautions.

"By the way, we will issue local phone cards to everyone later, and the cost will be borne by the company, and the domestic cards can be put away and used later. ”

After sending the sweet dates, she couldn't help but remind: "Wait until you have to go through customs, you'd better check the chat records of WeChat, Weibo, QQ, and scarf." Delete what should be deleted, clear what should be cleared, don't be forcibly repatriated because of inappropriate remarks and memes. It's really troublesome, just change the account, or simply uninstall the app!"

This is not alarmist, the customs of various countries have a random inspection and interception mechanism for foreign publications, but in the past, they were all aimed at books and printed materials, but now they are keeping pace with the times because of the threat of terrorism, and mainstream social software has been added to the inspection list. If you use emojis that are too violent and harmful to children, or if you mention premeditated attacks, illegal work, escape and detention during chats, you may be intercepted and repatriated by customs.

If you just travel, at most you will only have a wasted itinerary and you will not be able to come back in the next few years, but if the purpose of going abroad is to work, study abroad or even settle down, the situation will be very bad. Because of the unknown situation, from last year to now, there are very few unlucky people who have been repatriated, which has caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet, but people are so stipulated, and outsiders can only learn to adapt.

Before taking off, everyone had carefully checked the luggage and chat software under Zhu Lingling's reminder, and at this moment she mentioned it again, also afraid that some people would have a fluke mentality. Hawaii International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the United States, with huge passenger traffic, and customs naturally can't sacrifice efficiency to open the boxes, and most people will not encounter the sampling situation mentioned above. It's just that she's not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in order to avoid affecting her work, she still can't help but emphasize it again.

Although everyone was unhappy, they still took out their mobile phones and checked them, and many people simply pulled out their mobile phone cards and carefully stuffed them into their wallets.

With all kinds of adequate preparations, the customs inspection is naturally smooth and safe. After passing the customs, the group officially set foot in Hawaii, boarded the bus rented by the team in the early stage, and drove towards Honolulu city in the east.

The car is driving on Interstate 1, and the windows are full of green trees and red flowers, and the green mountains and blue sea on one side look very pleasant.

Because of its beautiful scenery, mild climate, and rare hurricanes and cold snaps, which are unique to the North American continent, Hawaii is affectionately called the "Paradise State" by the people of the United States. Larger enough to accommodate Walmart supermarkets, large resorts, offices, cinemas, parking lots, highways and more than a purely casual archipelago like the Maldives, it has always been one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Pacific Rim.

The meeting venue chosen by CVPR organizers is the Hawaii Convention Center, on the south side of the city, near the famous Waikiki Beach. Because of the booming tourism, there are many high-rise hotels and restaurants and supermarkets in this area, but there is no need to worry about accommodation and food.

This trip is led by the boss himself, so naturally you can't let everyone go to a general hotel. The early team helped everyone book a room at the Hilton Resort early in the morning. It's a little further away from the convention center, a quarter of an hour's walk, but it's closer to the beach, whether it's lying on the balcony railing overlooking the swimsuit beauty, or going downstairs to play in the sand and surf and bask in the sun, so that everyone can travel all the way to Hawaii for a meeting.

The car circled around the Hawaii Convention Center to identify the glass building nestled among the palm trees, and then headed southeast and stopped in the resort's parking lot.

After each took their luggage, everyone walked into the lobby to check in, but soon found that the atmosphere inside seemed to be a little weird.

The front desk staff was busy scrolling through their mobile phones, completely ignoring the guests waiting to check in, and they didn't see the staff of a four-star hotel at all.

If it weren't for the sadness and disbelief on their faces, not like the usual passive slacking off of fishing, paddling, everyone would have found someone to complain a long time ago.

After all, it was a high-end hotel chain in the world, and the lobby manager quickly noticed the abnormality here, and walked quickly to apologize softly: "I'm sorry! They didn't mean to do this, but they really encountered some sad and unbelievable things to do this." I have arranged for someone to come and replace them, and I will be able to check you in soon, please forgive me for the delay!"

Looking at the tattoo on the wrist of the little brother in front of him, Atletico blinked.

Foreigners regard tattoos as fashionable, and they usually believe that tattoos can bring strength, blessings and remembrance, and do not reject this thing. However, the most tattooed are still those who play rock and roll, and even form trends and some paradigm patterns, and the little brother in front of him is likely to be a rock lover, if he didn't let the tattoo artist paint nonsense.

Just thinking like this, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, the IPI packet intercepted just now had been cracked, and Atletico suddenly understood the cause and effect.

Glancing at the man with some sympathy, he moved slightly, motioning for the female assistant to come forward to negotiate.

It didn't take long for the staff who arranged the replacement to be in place smoothly and went through the formalities for everyone.

Wearing the colorful garland given by the hotel, everyone was still a little dazed, not knowing what was going on.

However, the confusion did not last long, and when they put down their luggage and got the local calling card, they were surprised to find that their mobile phones rang one after another to push messages.

Just half an hour earlier, Chester Bening, the lead singer of the well-known rock band Linkin Park, was found dead in his home and hanged himself.

Linkin Park's songs "Hat I've Done", "Ne Divide", and "Lridescent" were chosen as the theme songs for the first three Transformers movies, while "Numb", "Blackout", and "Rally" were chosen as the theme songs for "Inside the Game". With the help of the spread of these pop culture products, the band's already famous name ushered in a new round of explosion, with countless fans around the world, and now the news of the lead singer's suicide suddenly spreads, and various online media naturally can't wait to push the news.

This is also a feature of the mobile Internet era, where the death news has spread all over the world as soon as the body is covered with a white cloth. If it weren't for the fact that everyone didn't open the data network or simply pulled out the card, the push message should have been sent to the mobile phone a long time ago.
