Chapter 584: It's Good to Know
Desert New Town, this is the name that Titan gave to the film and television base established in the northwest of Las Vegas, it sounds a little unremarkable, but anyone who knows a little about the geography of this place will know how remarkable Titan has been built in just four months.

First of all, there is no fresh water source nearby, so it can only be brought from Lake Mead east of Las Vegas, and in order to avoid disputes with Las Vegas over water sources, the aqueduct in Desert New City is still a re-established four parallel pipelines, which have no intersection with the aqueduct in Las Vegas.
Originally, according to the calculations of some pipeline engineers, this diversion channel would require the construction of additional pressurized pumping stations, but Titan did not know what technology was used, and all the pipelines were laid in the desert and the Gobi and even below the mountains, and there was not even a shadow of a pumping station along the way.
Second, two-thirds of the Desert New City is located in the former nuclear test warning zone, but in the eyes of the locals, the Titan people are as fearless as the Chinese who can survive no matter what the circumstances. Of course, judging from the information available to the military, these areas are not as dangerous as they were 30 years ago, but the people don't think so, so when it comes to Desert New Town, the residents of the surrounding area, whether they are residents of Las Vegas or residents of the North American Cultural Reserve, are reluctant to go to the two-thirds of the area of Desert New City - of course, Titan also aptly erects signs in Desert New Town to tell people what this place used to be.
Finally, there is the way many of the buildings in the new desert city are constructed, a material that no one has ever seen before, and the facades of the buildings built with it actually change color and glow on their own. This gave the surrounding residents a nickname - Radiant Lizard City.
On top of that, the new town obviously didn't use marble or anything like that, but some of the Hellenistic buildings give the illusion that they were built of marble.
This material is also used on the roads within the Desert New Town. They feel a little soft to the touch, but they're actually sturdy, and according to the workers working here, the entire infrastructure of the new city is modular, completely different from how other cities are built.
After dark, the pavement of the already built part of the new desert city will glow blue, which can make people see the road clearly, but not so dazzling, so some people have nicknamed the city - Alien City.
Las Vegas residents are even worried that Desert City will compete with their city for tourists...... Thankfully, there is no intention of building a casino hotel on the Desert New Town side, and many of the houses are not more than eight stories tall.
Of course, there are also people who are very interested in this place, and when the new town began to take shape, they came to inquire about how to buy a house here, but the answer was that this is the property of the PTSD Veterans Mutual Aid Association, a branch of the Veterans Association, and currently only accepts veterans who are being treated for PTSD symptoms that recur when they return to society. But it doesn't mean that a PTSD patient can live here, only veterans who have been in Titan's East African food aid camp for more than half a year are eligible to move in, and after 10 years, they can buy their house at a very low price.
On the one hand, some people are afraid that the PTSD that is often shown in TV and movies will kill people at every turn, so they are reluctant to approach here, and on the other hand, some people are interested in joining the army to fight the pestering soldiers because the veterans' association has made such a big effort to help PSTD patients, which is also a surprise for the Ministry of Defense and various branches of the military. Of course, due to the bad economic situation, many people are already very interested in fighting the head-wrapping soldiers, so the military does not pay special attention to some of the ideological changes caused by the desert new city.
According to Titan, the use of nearly 300 lost systems, as well as directional sound and terrain fine-tuning systems, can create a simulated battlefield that can be modified at will, and the chief officer of the demonstration unit with the lost system as the core established by Titan and the War Department is also built here with Titan to explore more tactics for the troops.
Of course, because of such a secret, Desert New City is not very welcoming to outsiders. For this reason, Desert New City looks a little deserted at the moment, but it is also very safe.
At present, there are not many people in the desert new city, and there are few cars, running on such a road is quite comfortable for most people drivers.
"Ha~ I finally saw a car, Phoebe! Go over! Go over ~!" Taeyeon, who was sitting in the back seat, was in the driver's seat on an off-road vehicle running in the new city, pointing to a car in front of him and calling excitedly.
Phoebe, who was driving the car, nodded, obediently increased the speed to seventy kilometers, honked the horn, and overtook a red sedan at a high speed, causing the driver of the sedan to honk the horn a few times, probably cursing the speeding driver must not die well.
"Hahaha~~ Phoebe, you're amazing!" Taeyeon said excitedly patting the back of the driver's seat.
And Barbara, who was sitting in the co-pilot, reluctantly turned around and said: "Taeyeon, don't let Phoebe do such a dangerous thing, although there are not many police in this city, but if she is caught, it's not a joke, Phoebe doesn't have a driver's license yet." ā
Taeyeon nodded again and again, patted the back of the chair excitedly and said, "Hehe~ Just this time, Phoebe, slow down, slow down." Then he said to Barbara: "Isn't it just a matter of time to see a car on the road, and I want to practice Phoebe overtaking." After speaking, he glanced at a woman sitting next to him again, and said again: "Yes, Sister Yunxin, if you don't practice overtaking, how can you participate in the race?"
Lee Yoon-sin looked at Taeyeon funny, nodded, glanced at Barbara again, and said with a smile, "I found that she is much more lively than when I saw her before." ā
"Ha~?Am I wrong?Don't you go racing to be the first to be the first to go racing?" Taeyeon suddenly frowned, in fact, she just let Phoebe overtake, completely because Phoebe was driving, to be precise, in Taeyeon's memory, Phoebe drove a four-wheeled car for the first time, which made Taeyeon, who will soon reach the age of taking the driver's license, very excited, although the driver's license acquisition system in the United States and South Korea is different, but since Phoebe, who is younger than herself, can drive the car so slippery, then she will definitely have no problem at that time- To be precise, because Phoebe is driving, it gives Taeyeon a very strange and inexplicable sense of substitution.
Phoebe driving is equivalent to driving herself.
Phoebe overtaking is equivalent to overtaking yourself.
If Phoebe drives well, it is equal to how well she drives.
This kind of strange sense of substitution can actually happen to anyone, just like some people like to watch other people play games.
The oolong Taeyeon that he made in the morning has long been left behind, because when Taeyeon carefully asked Phoebe, he knew that the intelligent housekeeping system in the villa would not shoot the bedroom, so he was like a delirious cranky in the morning, and there was no evidence left at all, and Phoebe and Barbara went to pick up Lee Yoon-shin in the morning because of some diplomatic requirements of the South Korean government, and could not easily go to the city with a casino.
At breakfast, Li Yunxin explained her intentions: Phoebe had promised to participate in the Qatar Rally with her, but the Qatar Rally in 08 was not completed because the head-wrapping soldiers made too much trouble, and the rally in 09 was held in South America, so Li Yunxin came this time in addition to supervising Phoebe to practice driving, but also planned to go to several South American countries in the next few days, focusing on familiarizing himself with and adapting to the local climate, and verifying whether the vehicle maintenance specifications can adapt to the South American climate. You know, the main enemies of the previous Qatar tournament were dry and sand, but the South American game is definitely different from the previous game.
In addition, Phoebe is old enough to drive on the road, and Barbara is her guardian, so Phoebe is a natural thing to drive.
In fact, Phoebe's international racing license has been obtained, but Li Yunxin knows that Phoebe's license was bought, and she can trust Phoebe in other aspects, but participating in the Qatar Rally is different, she has to really see Phoebe's driving level to rest assured.
Many people mistakenly think that the main test of the car race is the driver's reaction, which is not true, such as the long-distance rally, the more important test is the driver's ability to stay focused, that is to say, when the long-distance rally, many people think that as long as a driver has coquettish drift skills, he will definitely rank high.
In fact, it is all basic skills, the biggest enemy of long-distance driving is actually the loss of concentration caused by fatigue, and from a person's usual driving habits, you can see whether this person has the possibility of becoming a rally driver - first of all, road rage, because this is the main cause of inattention.
In this regard, Li Yunxin is very optimistic about Phoebe, in her impression, except for occasionally getting angry with the effect of Phoebe on variety shows, no matter how others provoke her, she will not be angry - Li Yunxin knows that Phoebe has been spit on someone, and Phoebe's handling of everything from the overall situation at that time really made Li Yunxin breathtaking.
And the bloody case created by Titan in the Boston area, Li Yunxin also knows, but what she sees from it is that Phoebe's mind is extremely firm and decisive, to be honest, although many people died, and even the old and weak women and children, but Li Yunxin and the employees of Titan have the same idea, who let them have to come to the community where the Titan employees are located to sell narcotics, and after dealing with the people who sell narcotics, their families will inevitably make trouble, although the idea of Phoebe cutting the grass to completely eradicate the root cause made people feel a little scary at first, but then the investigation was stopped as the case did not live The bitter master jumped up and down, so that Titan's staff community in Boston did not encounter any trouble at all, including Li Yunxin, who gave Phoebe a leader high evaluation of his decisiveness in this incident.
There are many people in Titan who are very excited to see what kind of miracle Phoebe will show them, which makes Li Yunxin change her mind again, she feels that it is not easy for women to call the shots, and Phoebe can gain the respect of Titannine because of the prestige accumulated by big and small things, so being able to participate in the competition with Phoebe on the one hand makes Li Yunxin extremely excited and excited, on the other hand, it also makes her feel so stressed, because her initial idea was just that Phoebe is very reliable, and she wants to do something with her to deepen the friendship, with the change of mentality, she now wants to maintain Phoebe's prestige, but because she released the news that she was going to compete with Phoebe very early, her idea of participating in the competition from the beginning was purely for fun, and changed to having to get the first place.
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with some of the ideas of the company, and Li Yunxin has indeed become a loyal fan of Phoebe.
When she first joined Titan, Li Yunxin just wanted to hide from the South Korean prosecutor's office, Enceladus's belief transformation system was created by Phoebe very effective, and now Li Yunxin has completely regarded herself as a Titan, if it weren't for her marriage contract also involving her parents and family, she may have found a partner in Titan to marry, even so, she also pondered that after marrying the marriage partner she was not familiar with at all, she would still stay in Titan......
Barbara knows Phoebe very well about Phoebe towards Li Yunxin, she knows that Phoebe first dated Li Yunxin in order to fight for better resources for Girlhood, and as Li Yunxin gradually integrates into Titan, Phoebe also changes her attitude towards Li Yunxin, and compared to outsiders, Phoebe still values the employees of Titan. And after all, when Lee Yun-hin greeted the Russian and Israeli inspection delegation to the SS soldiers' memorial, she made a great contribution to the memorial's breakthrough of "moral constraints", because the core concept of the memorial hall is respect for life.
No one knows the real reason why Phoebe valued the preservation of the SS soldiers' memorial was because it was part of Titan's ideology.
Everyone thinks that Phoebe, who is a survivor of the big #massacre #killing, has a different understanding of the victim and the perpetrator...... Because of this, the people of Titan are willing to follow Phoebe.
Returning to the car, Taeyeon let Phoebe overtake Lee Yoon-shin is not disgusted, after all, when participating in rallies, the navigator often gives advice, and what she values is how Phoebe handles Taeyeon's request - in addition, the car driven by Phoebe today is specially transported for Phoebe to practice adaptability, and in terms of mechanical performance, it is not much different from the manual transmission off-road vehicle that is being fine-tuned in Germany.
Taeyeon naturally didn't know the difference, but she was still excited about being able to get the car on the road, knowing that she was still a little worried when she first set off.
After running for a while, Phoebe suddenly reduced her speed a lot, which made Taeyeon and Lee Yoon-xin a little strange, just about to speak, they saw the car passing by an intersection, Barbara also deliberately turned her head to take a look, so, the two people in the back seat also looked over, and then found that there was a police car parked on the side, and the policeman in the driver's seat was holding a speed meter at them.
āā¦ā¦ How did you find out?" was asked by Lee Yoon-sin, and Taeyeon didn't know what was going on at this time.
"Would you believe me if I said it was a sixth sense?" replied Phoebe.
"Believe. Lee Yoon-shin nodded with some delight, while Taeyeon asked curiously, "Do you really have a sixth sense?"
"Well, it just feels like if you don't slow down there, you're going to be in trouble. As before, Phoebe wasn't going to tell them that she could discover creatures by discovering the source of her emotions. Of course, there's nothing wrong with calling this feeling a sixth sense.
Barbara looked back at the intersection just now, as if she found if there was anything that could reflect the light, she knew that Phoebe's eyesight was not ordinarily good, but because she was far away from the intersection, she couldn't find it, but seeing the glass on the house at the intersection, she guessed that Phoebe saw the reflection of the police car on the shop window.
Li Yunxin said happily: "It seems that it is absolutely correct to ask you to compete with you, Sixth Sense, this is our secret weapon, but I don't know if it can work every time." ā
Taeyeon blinked, glanced at Lee Yoon-shin, then at Barbara, and suddenly thought of one thing, that is, when he was in Korea, Sunny said that no matter where he was, Phoebe could find her own business.
Of course, she just thought about it casually, and didn't think too much, let alone tell everyone.
Li Yunxin suddenly wondered again: "Oh, no, where did the police come from? I remember that there is no police station in Xincheng, right?"
Barbara laughed: "Well, that's the state police, and there is no way to form an autonomous council and a security agency until the population of the new city reaches a certain number, so the state police are invited." ā
"Oh, that's right. Li Yunxin glanced back at the police car that had long been out of sight.
Taeyeon didn't understand anything because of what she said, but she listened with interest to the conversation between Lee Yoon-sin and Barbara - as mentioned earlier, Titan's real-time voice translation system can already allow Barbara and Taeyeon to talk, but the pace of the conversation will be slower, and Barbara is also learning Korean, so it's not a big problem.
Barbara added: "In fact, those police officers also know that with the participation of the Veterans Association and the Department of Defense, I am afraid that it will be easy for the new city to develop, and there should be no other troubles here except for PTSD everywhere, so not only the state police, but also the Las Vegas city police want to be transferred here, and the competition is a little fierce." Recently, in order to give the impression that the new city is very safe, these people have been working very hard. ā
Taeyeon blinked, thinking that Barbara was warning herself not to let Phoebe do anything out of the ordinary again, lest the police see her in trouble.
But Li Yunxin didn't think so, she knew that Barbara was telling herself that because of the Titan cover in Germany, there was no problem with driving fast, and the most important thing was that there were not many speed limits in the eastern region, and it was easy to drive the car to a very cool speed, but on the new city side, no matter how influential Titan was, those policemen who fought like chicken blood would not buy it.
So, the two people in the back row nodded almost at the same time and said, "Oh...... Got it......"
Hearing the two of them answer at the same time, Barbara inexplicably glanced back at Taeyeon, and when she saw Taeyeon's face full of confession, she suddenly felt a little funny, but she still nodded and said, "Well, it's good to know everything." ā
And the two guys who were talking at the same time also looked at each other, not knowing why the other party was the same as themselves......
