Chapter Ninety-Two: Exhaling Like an Orchid
The provincial capital, like Linji County, is leaning on the edge of the Yangtze River, so this time Heibao went directly by water.
The county seat of Linji is downstream, and Heibao is swimming upstream.
The Yangtze River comes out of the Three Gorges, the water flow has been very stable, the flow speed is also much slower, upstream, for the current Heibao, and calm water is almost the same.
The speed in the water is several times that of the shore, and the seventy or eighty kilometers of waterway, Heibao arrived in ten minutes.
The provincial capital is a metropolis. Even at night, the flow of people and vehicles is still endless, and it is very lively.
Instead of walking on the ground, Blacktreasure sneaks directly underground.
Heibao sneaks very deep, sewers, various cables, gas pipes and other urban underground facilities, all of which are things that Heibao should be careful to avoid.
In order to avoid damaging these facilities, the surname Black Baosuo sneaked a hundred meters below.
In ten minutes, Heibao arrived at the underground of the community where the main body was located.
In the case of safety, the distance between Heibao and the main body is, of course, the better, but Zeng Rong still has a plan, although Heibao does not have much demand for food now, he still has to find a place where metal can be easily obtained.
Heibao's head was upward, and soon, the head was exposed to the ground, his mouth was open, and all kinds of smells were immediately transmitted to Heibao's tongue sensory organs.
Snakes feel smells with their tongues, which is a special surname for snakes.
Sensitive to smells, snakes even surpass dogs.
Heibao's sense of smell has reached an astonishing level, his tongue sticks out of his mouth, and slightly larger objects within a radius of more than ten miles can be felt, which is completely like a radar, but what is scanned is the taste. The floating particles with smell scattered in the air made Heibao clearly analyze the form within a radius of more than ten miles.
Even underground, Heibao can feel a special smell within a hundred meters.
When he arrived here, it was a relatively remote place, and Heibao observed that there was no one around, and immediately swished out of it.
In the north, not far away, there was obviously a smell of steel, and the black treasure swam straight over.
Along the way, the black treasure is stuck on the side of the road and walks quickly, even if someone finds it, they just feel that the black treasure is gone.
After swimming five or six miles, Heibao was finally able to determine that the smell came from this area.
The place is very remote, already a suburb within a suburb, and it looks like a very small township, and not far away there is a large vegetable garden with all kinds of vegetables.
There was not a lot of steel around at all, or even a large amount of metal equipment, and Heibao's tongue stretched out slightly. It was immediately determined that the smell was coming from underground.
"Treasure to be discovered again?" This is Zeng Rong's thoughts.
Diving into the ground, just when Heibao's whole body was about to submerge into the ground, there were bursts of barking dogs in several nearby yards!
These dogs with a keen sense of hearing hear something abnormal!
More than forty meters away, Zeng Rong reached his destination.
A large mountain-like object that smells like iron.
Zeng Rong circled along these iron materials, and immediately determined that this was a huge iron pile stacked with iron blocks, with a volume of at least several hundred cubic meters, and according to the density of iron, the weight of this pile of iron was six or seven thousand tons.
It contained a piece of iron, visible on the black horse, with words engraved on the rusty bottom.
"Hanyang Iron Works, 1938." Several traditional Chinese characters appear at the bottom of the brick-like iron block.
Hanyang Iron Works, founded by Zhang Zhidong, one of the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, was a few years earlier than the first steel plant in Yueben, and was also the largest steel production enterprise in Asia at that time.
Since the Hanyang Iron Works, Hwakook's heavy industry has taken off, and it is regarded by the West as the first step in Hwakoku's awakening!
Hanyang Iron Works is a milestone and an indispensable stroke in the history of China's heavy industry.
Similarly, its founder, Zhang Zhidong, was also a leading figure in the Late Qing Westernization Movement.
Of the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong was the only one who did not start by suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, on the contrary, when Zhang Zhidong was the governor of Liangguang, he used Feng Zicai and defeated the French [***] team.
In addition to the Westernization Movement, Zhang Zhidong also has a far-reaching influence on modern education.
The transformation of the old style of the college, the establishment of the new style of the school, the Chenghan Dynasty several very famous universities, its predecessor was the school established by Zhang Zhidong, including the Chenghan University where Zeng Rong is now studying.
During Zhang Zhidong's tenure as the governor of Huguang, Zeng Rong's Jiangbei Province was far more modern in industry and education than other provinces because of Zhang Zhidong. There are many talents and the economy is abundant.
Minzhi has been vigorously developed, which is also a major reason why the first shot of the Xinhai Revolution sounded in Chenghan.
1938 was also an important year, when the army invaded and successively captured Changhai, Jinling, and Chenghan along the Yangtze River, resulting in a large number of factories and enterprises moving inward.
According to Zeng Rong's estimate, this batch of iron is probably the raw material that Hanyang Iron Works is preparing to transport to the rear, but the war is tense and it is shelved here.
After the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, the person concerned was no longer alive for various reasons, resulting in this batch of iron being hidden underground and not seen for decades.
"This is it." Zeng Rong immediately determined that this was Heibaoxin's lair.
The body quickly walked through the ground, and soon, a space of thirty or forty squares appeared in front of this pile of iron, containing a piece of iron, and the special substance in the mouth was like a brush, and soon the rust on the surface of the iron block was cleaned, and a shiny piece of iron appeared in front of Heibao.
A strange feeling appeared in Hei Bao's mind, this piece of iron was even more tempting than the gold ore in the Dabie Mountain Gold Mine!
After eating ten pieces of iron in one go, Heibao got up and fell asleep.
For Zeng Rong, college life is simply too comfortable now.
I woke up at six o'clock in the morning, practiced my fists and feet with Mr. Yang, pushed my hands, ate the breakfast made by Zhu Lu, and set off at half past seven to go from Repulse Bay to Chenghan University.
Unless there are big people traveling and there is a road closure on this journey, there will be no traffic jam at all, because the place is relatively remote and the traffic flow is not much.
When the car drives under the school building, you can go straight to the classroom.
In Zeng Rong's eyes, the freshman courses are quite boring, and many of them are courses that have nothing to do with the major. Thought lessons, calculus, English, philosophy. In Zeng Rong's eyes, none of this has anything to do with archaeological farts.
But you still have to learn, because these are directly linked to credits, which are related to whether you can graduate or not, and whether you can get a degree certificate.
There are only thirty-eight archaeology students, and none of them are girls, which is not surprising, archaeology is basically linked to ancient tombs or something, and it is strange that some girls like these. Zeng Rong's class was also teased as a monk class.
However, it may be that the school knows the pain of the whole class of monks, and one of the counselors assigned to it is a woman.
is not only a woman, but also a young and beautiful female surname.
Xu Yuxing, the class guide of Zeng Rong's archaeology class, introduced himself as 25 years old.
When the class guide walked into the classroom, a charm of a mature female surname immediately conquered more than 30 monks.
"Oh, cake buyers, conquer temptation!" Zeng Rong could hear the sound of a boy next to him swallowing saliva in a low voice.
White short shirt and black short skirt, because of the hot weather, a button on it is not buttoned, and as soon as you look down, you can see a deep ditch, which is no wonder that the boy next to him will match Xu Yuxin with the heroine in the island love action movie.
"Zeng Rong, I heard that you don't live in the dormitory?" Seeing Zeng Rong walking into the classroom, Xu Yuxuan immediately walked over and asked.
"Oh yes, my family bought a house nearby, it's quite close to here, twenty minutes away." Zeng Rong said.
"I'd suggest you live on campus for the first semester." Xu Yuxuan lowered his body and said.
Zeng Rong happened to be sitting on the chair, and Xu Yuxuan lowered his body and immediately showed the moving furrow in his chest in front of Zeng Rong.
"It's bigger than Zhu Lu." Zeng Rong looked at it slightly, and said in his heart.
"I'm really not used to it." Zeng Rong said embarrassedly.
"You are the champion of liberal arts in the province, not only the dean, but even the principal has noticed you, the school will vigorously cultivate you, and prepare to treat you as a representative figure among the freshmen, you must pay attention to the influence." Xu Yuxuan said helplessly.
Chenghan University does not have a hard surname rule that students must live in dormitories, and Zeng Rong lives in his own home, which is impeccable.
After looking at the time, it was only a few minutes before the class started, and the teacher who taught philosophy had already walked in.
"After the second class at noon, come to my office." Xu Yuxin said, stood up straight, and walked out of the classroom.
The lectures of philosophy teachers are not limited to the knowledge of textbooks, but are whimsical nonsense, which is not boring. There were two classes on Monday morning, and after two classes, for the students in the archaeology class, it was time to get out of school, which was why Xu Yuxing asked Zeng Rong to go to her after two classes.
The school administration building, the courtyard is arranged on the third floor, room 305, which is where the counselors of the history department are concentrated.
Walking into this office, Zeng Rong found that most of them were young people.
Every year, the school selects a group of outstanding students from the graduates of the school to stay on campus, and the vast majority of them start from counselors and the lowest level of administrators.
Therefore, these counselors are basically brothers and sisters who have just graduated.
"Sit down." Seeing Zeng Rong walk in, Xu Yuxin smiled slightly, and stood up and got Zeng Rong a glass of water.
"Wow, this is this year's champion of liberal arts, so handsome." The counselor who didn't know the class, with a few freckles on her face, and a good-looking young female counselor immediately shouted loudly.
At this call, the whole room looked at Zeng Rong.
Even if Zeng Rong was thick-skinned, he blushed slightly under the gaze of a group of counselors.
"Why don't you come to our profession, a lot of beauties!" A tall, thin man said with a smile.
"Zou Jiawei, don't dig my students!" Xu Yuxin pretended to be angry and said.
"I mean seriously, it's called Zeng Rong, right, we basically know you, change your major, I think as long as you make this request, the dean will definitely agree." Zou Jiawei completely ignored Xu Yuxing's words.
"I think the archaeology major is pretty good." Finally found a chance to answer, Zeng Rong immediately said with a smile.
"Yes, respect your wishes!" Xu Yuxin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and laughed profusely, and Zeng Rong, who was sitting opposite her, immediately felt a faint fragrance like an orchid coming to her face.
Exhale like an orchid, it turns out that this is the case.
