The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the vision is wide, and three white cars are driving on the highway, all the way to the north.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the car, and even if the number of people was twice as much, they could be loaded by an ordinary bus, but these boxy cars were not buses, but professionally modified RVs.

Because a certain boss is a Mercedes-Benz fan, the huge and eye-catching silver steering wheel logo (Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star) can still be seen on the front face of the white car, but these cars are not the same as those at Atletico Madrid's home. Atletico's own Super Snail is based on the Travego station coach platform, while the Alkoven 1200 they are riding on is based on the Mercedes-Benz Actros tractor platform, and is from the famous touring car company VA Rio, with a layout with a German flavor.

Because they are based on full-trailer trucks, these motorhomes are equivalent to converting large containers that are usually towed behind trucks into large rectangular rooms, with much more usable space than travego under passenger cars. There is even a small garage at the rear of the car as standard, enough to accommodate a small car, and passengers can even cos a Thunderbolt Ranger if they want to. Smart cars, talking kitts driving on their own cars, truck cargo boxes as mobile logistics bases, are classic shots from that sci-fi TV series.

Playing this kind of cosplay on the German motorway, you don't have to worry about being chased by Ulaula's screaming police car, because there are not many patrolling traffic police on the road, but you still have to be careful with the electronic monitoring system, if you are photographed and mail a violation ticket, it will be bad. Moreover, even if Atletico Madrid wants to come out like this, the three local drivers who concentrate on driving will not agree, and the German driver's license is difficult to get and the traffic safety awareness is much stronger.

The surveillance video of Atletico Madrid's previous fall subduing two gangsters was uploaded to the Internet, which attracted a lot of attention. However, those fans and challengers who went to the hotel were disappointed to find that the new kung fu star Ma had checked out and left, and could only sigh and go back to their respective homes.

Under the supervision of the safety supervisor, everyone changed their costumes and turned into a group of ordinary RV self-driving tourists, divided into three luxury RVs, all the way north diagonally through Germany. Because there is a kitchen and bedroom in the car, everyone's self-driving trip is extraordinarily leisurely, and when you encounter good mountains, rivers and good scenery, you can stop and play for half a day before you go on the road.

In May, Berlin has entered summer, but in the eyes of the group, such a summer is really a bit unworthy of the name: the average temperature is around 9 to 21 degrees Celsius, and it is too cold to wear short sleeves during the day and not hot in sweaters at night.

Of course, this kind of cool summer is not without benefits, not to mention the cost of air conditioning, not to mention the exotic flavor, which also makes a bunch of crooked nuts look fresh.

Summer is so cool, and February is still in winter, and it is even more freezing.

It is rumored that it is precisely because the date of the event is in the cold winter, and the temperature at night is close to 0 degrees, so that the female stars cannot wear thin evening dresses to walk the red carpet beautifully, and they don't like to go to the Berlin Film Festival very much; without these big-name stars, media reporters will be lazy to save the life of the SD card; there will be less media coverage, less fan attention, and sponsor advertisers will not be very active, and in the end, the influence of the Berlin Film Festival can only gradually decline, compared to the same three Cannes in May and Venice in August, and it has been reduced to the point where it can only rely on cutting-edge filmmakers from Asia, Africa and Latin America to support the scene。

Of course, this is just a gossip joke, and the impact of weather factors is not as big as said, otherwise the organizers would not have moved the date from June to February.

This is not the case in Berlin, which is covered by the heat island effect, and the smaller town of Templin, which is further north than it, is even cooler.

It is a small town located in northeastern Germany, 90 minutes by car from Berlin. Like other small European cities, Templin has clear rivers and lakes, old buildings, and few high-rise buildings, and people live a leisurely and slow life, which is still a sight to behold for domestic tourists who are used to seeing crowded and cramped cities, and commuters in a hurry.

It's just that they have seen too many such cities, from Frankfurt in the southwest to Berlin in the northeast, they are equivalent to driving through most of Germany, and they have seen at least a dozen similar idyllic towns along the way, and they have long since become numb from the beginning of the strangeness.

Of course, since it can attract Atletico Madrid to come here, there is still merit.

Until last year, the German town was best known as the hometown of Angela Merkel, the current German Chancellor.

In fact, the strong woman's real name is Angela Dorothea Kasner, and her father was a Protestant Lutheran pastor who moved her family here when she was three years old. Angra spent her childhood and adolescence in this small East German town with Soviet military camps, and her fluency in Russian earned her an archival assessment of her "great appreciation for Russian language and Soviet culture", which gave her privileges such as traveling abroad.

At that time, the eastern part of the country, including Templin and half of Berlin, belonged to the democratic Germany of the Warsaw Pact camp, and the Berlin Film Festival was originally set up to break up and divide the Warsaw Pact countries, so it left a tradition of stressing politics and governance.

The surname "Merkel" actually comes from her ex-husband, the physicist Ulrich Merkel, and it is said that in order to get the marital mark, Angela, who was still in school at the time, married the latter in '77 and divorced in '81, but the husband's surname was retained. Her current husband, quantum chemist Joachim Sauer, was Angra's Ph.D. supervisor in physics, and the two later divorced and lived together, but they did not officially marry until 98 and have maintained their marriage to this day.

The gossip story of the female prime minister marrying a science man and a chemist prying into the corner of a physicist is certainly attractive, but it is not the main reason why it attracted Atletico Madrid to this small city, after all, he has seen a lot of celebrities, and he is also a celebrity, so his resistance to the halo of celebrities is naturally much stronger.

The reason for this is that in this small town there is the first flying church in Germany.

This deliberately absurd religion is not intended to be a spoof, but a weapon for atheists and agnostics to oppose the privileges of mainstream religions, such as the fact that other religions can wear hats and veils, and we have to take the blame.

Although he is very yearning for the doctrine of flying noodles, especially the theory of forcing ang noodles, in order to continue to maintain good relations with the beef noodles sect, the knife noodles sect, the rice noodle sect, the instant noodles sect and even the pasta sect, coupled with the fear of not being recognized by the religious authority, Atletico Madrid did not hold a formal conversion ceremony, and it cannot be regarded as a real noodle party. Of course, as a religion that emphasizes absurdity and casualness, the refuge ritual itself is very simple, just say "ramen!"

Although he is not a cultist, this guy is one of the biggest supporters of the Flying Sect, and he can definitely hang the title of "Top Global Sponsor of the Flying Sect" in the future. He not only actively sponsors believers from all over the world to establish churches, but also tries his best to help this new religion expand its influence, not only often reprinting news and stories on his neck, but also specifically instructing his game companies to develop games with the theme of Flying Noodles.

Atletico Madrid came here at the invitation of the local noodler noodler noodle milk Digerweida to visit, after all, he also paid for the establishment of this small church, of course, he has the right to come and see it.

At the beginning, in order to avoid legal problems, the amount that the latter allowed netizens to donate was deliberately kept very low. According to the pictures he sent to Atletico Madrid, there is neither a tall and magnificent spire church piercing the sky, nor a legendary fresco painted by a famous artist, and it is said that the worship of the believers is not so strict, eating bread and drinking beer and chatting about the sky is the sacrament, but this kind of casualness is also in line with the doctrine of flying noodles, and it is appropriate.

However, before they could find the famous church, Atletico had to find a parking space for their cart.

The old buildings full of historical flavor create the historical atmosphere of the city, but they also make the municipal planning seem stretched, which cannot be demolished and cannot be moved, no wonder European and American architects are running to East Asia. The big cities of Berlin are better, and the wars of World War I and World War II actually demolished most of the old buildings, but in these small towns that narrowly escaped the war, it is already a good condition to have a paved road instead of a traditional stone road.

This is also an important reason why compact hatchbacks such as Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, and BMW fans Nicooper will sell well in Europe for decades, not only because European consumers do not like a more spacious and comfortable driving environment, but also because the narrow streets of small and medium-sized European cities limit the size of the car, and it is difficult to drive a large car.

Atletico's cars are several times larger than those so-called big cars, and it is naturally more difficult to find a suitable parking space, and the fact that they have slept in parks and even in the wilderness several times along the way proves that the security in Germany is far less than Atletico initially thought.

After almost a week around the city, they finally found a place to park in the small town, and although it was only three old German drivers who actually contributed to the work, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they got out of the car, as if they had completed some grand and complicated task.

Naturally, the navigation map of the pit dad has replaced the flying face church that is about to be seen, and has become the focus of everyone's conversation.

There is also a credit to Nokia, because they created the biggest suspense in the tech world in the first half of the year: "Who can take here?"

After the successful sale of the mobile phone business and the strategic transformation of Nuoji to concentrate on the operator market, the here map business, which cost tens of billions of dollars to build, has become a tasteless chicken rib that is a pity to be abandoned.

Smartphones with built-in GPS chips and free mobile map apps are rapidly eroding the market space for in-car GPS navigation devices, and the number of maps provided for in-car GPS and mobile maps has been declining year after year. Five years ago, the annual revenue of up to 2 billion US dollars is now only half of it, and most of the revenue is still spent on maintenance and updates, and the operating profit is only 100 million yuan.

Of course, the map is a chicken rib for Noji, but it is still valuable to other companies, and it is rumored that Internet companies such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Uber, Cat Factory, Bear Factory, Goose Factory, and other car giants are chasing it.

On the one hand, because of the decline in performance, the value of zhìhere has decreased, and on the other hand, many of these manufacturers are also their users.

Speaking of which, Atletico Madrid's trip to Germany is also related to here, as the fourth largest online giant in China, Bee has also received a bidding invitation, and they have chosen to form a consortium with foreign companies to make a group buy, just like the other big three. Atletico Madrid participated in the Silicon Valley group opened by Google, after all, the two sides are recently in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and there is in-depth cooperation in the field of panoramic maps, autonomous driving and other technologies.

However, he himself is not optimistic about this acquisition, although the Silicon Valley group is rich and not afraid of not being able to afford it, but the desire to buy is not as firm as the car factory group.

The latter can directly integrate the navigation module on the center console of the car, improve the function and grade of the product, and at the same time ensure the closed, stable and safe operation of the on-board information system, and finally recover the cost through the value-added of the product.

Although the unmanned cars of Google and Bee have been on the road for two or three years, they are still far from being truly mature and approved for listing, and the progress of unmanned vehicles of other Internet companies is even slower. In this way, the Silicon Valley group will not build cars for the time being, and it lacks the ability to monetize the map business, after all, although there are many users of their own map software, they are all free users and cannot directly contribute to revenue. You can't get a bunch of membership privileges such as "toilets, parking lot search results are displayed first, members are free of ads" or value-added services such as "hotels and shopping malls bidding landmarks", right?

Although he had a pessimistic attitude and thought that he could only play the role of soy sauce with the prince to study, in the spirit of being idle and idle, Atletico Madrid still participated, and ran over actively, with a sincere attitude.

However, these are just for outsiders to see, as soon as the plane landed, he no longer cared about the project, and the Silicon Valley group successfully photographed him paying as agreed, and failure did not affect the bee map too much. After all, this map software is characterized by 3D scenes and VR scenes, and the function is more inclined to online virtual tours, and the accuracy requirements for map information are much lower.
