During the day, the guests of the White Wave Pavilion talked about all kinds of strange dreams they had the night before. When Duchamp and Cinella heard this, they just kept their mouths closed and pretended not to know.

In order to be cautious, Fairy Layla took Lane and hid in the house all the time, never going out again. I waited until the early morning of the third day, and then I still divided into two waves, cautiously, and got on the long-distance bus.

The journey from Yumir to Ruray is not very far, I heard that it takes only six hours to get there.

On the bus, Duchamp is seriously continuing to play the role of a good brother:

"When you go out on the bus, you should look out the window a lot, and you can learn a lot of knowledge that you don't have in books. For example, we are now traveling through the northeastern state of Noltia, which is located in the far northeast of the empire. The characteristic of Noltia is that it is mountainous. The mountains are the wealth of the area, with all kinds of minerals and the largest iron ore mine in the empire. Because of its mineral abundance, the capital of Noldia, Rure, was also an industrial city, which was of great importance to the empire. As a result, the empire built railways here, as well as a network of roads. ”

"What a considerate brother!" A woman with a maid in the next seat couldn't help but praise.

The two began a pleasant conversation on their trip.

Duchamp's "The Principle of Conduction", posed on his knees, succeeded in stirring up the topic for the woman. The woman spoke with great interest about Rurey's latest popular guide products, such as the guide camera and guide radio. These old-fashioned products, which are in Duchamp's eyes, he boasted of his vision.

"Guided radio, of course, is the latest product now, but it won't be long before everyone throws away the radio."

"Why?" The woman said in surprise.

"You think, the radio has only sound and no picture, and the camera has only picture and no sound, and if you can combine the two, when you hear the sound, you can see the picture, even the moving picture, like watching an opera in an opera house, wouldn't it be more interesting."

The woman imagined it for a moment and thought it was funny: "Of course it's more interesting, but with the current technology of conduction, can it be produced?" ”

Duchamp seriously compared the level of development of the Semerian continent with the history of the development of the earth's electrical civilization, and came to a result: "If you only record sound and continuous images, it will only take 5 years with the current technology, and if you do not only record audio and video, but also consider transmission and reception, then you need a large number of relay transmission stations, I am afraid it will take 20 years." ”

"Twenty years, that's too long, five or six years can still be expected." The woman said regretfully.

"Judging from the actual situation now, maybe we should build some cheap guide stoves to replace charcoal fires, or guide water heaters for hot baths, and automatic washing machines, which can be connected to the faucet to wash your clothes yourself. With these appliances, housewives can work much less and have more time to go shopping, spend time with their children, or go out to work. ”

The woman, who was also apparently a housewife who was deeply involved in housework, became interested in the automatic washing machine with her maid and discussed how much time it would save.

"Your idea is really interesting. Everyone else is thinking about building some guide trains, cannons, airships, etc. ”

"This is the sorrow of our time!" Duchamp said solemnly, "All advanced technologies go straight to the expansion of the country's military power or individual combat capability, rather than prioritizing the improvement of people's own lives and making people's lives more comfortable." ”

"Your words are profound, but they sound like that."

In the midst of a small talk with the woman to pass the time, Duchamp suddenly heard a chime. This is a hint that there is a quest ringing. Surprised and delighted, he quietly checked the mission system.

"World Mission: Sow the seeds of Earth's civilization.

In the boring Semria, you who have become accustomed to the civilization of the earth, how boring it feels. Hurry up and spread the essence of the earth's civilization to this land, whether it is TV, movies, the Internet, washing machines, refrigerators, or the ipads and laptops that you will never forget, and so many rich knowledge, music and culture, quickly popularize them to this planet. For every Prosperity Point added to the development of the Semria Channeling Civilization, you will receive a great reward. ”

In addition to coming to the mainland of Semria for sightseeing, my brother also has this great responsibility attached to it, so how to start this?

Duchamp pondered the question as he absentmindedly conversed with the woman. He tried to talk to the woman about more of the Earth's electrical civilization, and saw the woman's reaction.

She seemed interested.

During the boring and long journey, Duchamp had become acquainted with the woman. In the makeshift parking for a break, the enthusiastic lady even invited the Duchamp brothers to lunch, affectionately asking Duchamp to call her "Serta" and modestly saying that she had a "small and delicate courtyard" in Rurey and was always welcome to the Duchamp brothers. He carefully inquired about where Duchamp's knowledge came from, and after learning that he had taught himself the principle of guidance, he became more enthusiastic.

"Seeing that you are so smart and so studious, if you apply for Lulei University of Technology, you may be admitted. The Department of Guidance at Lulei University of Technology has become the focus of the empire's training, and I heard that those who graduated from there are very popular, and they are talents that the government and major enterprises compete for. ”

She fanned her eyelashes twice, and whispered close to Duchamp's ear and said, "My husband, but he works in the government, I can ask him to recommend him on his behalf." ”

"I'll think about it carefully, I don't even know if Lulei Technical University admits civilian students."

Serta smiled: "For those who have no way, there are naturally obstacles everywhere, but as long as my husband recommends it, the door will be open for you." In fact, this is a cheap engineering university, and in your conversation, it is better than many students who graduate from there. ”

In Duchamp's experience in his last life, during long journeys, it is common to meet all kinds of strange people, and during a short journey, especially in a dull carriage, there are often all kinds of promises full of friendship and invitations, but as soon as the journey arrives at the station, these promises are nullified, and psychologists attribute this phenomenon to "people like to show their kindness and generosity in front of strangers".

Therefore, Duchamp politely thanked the lady for her kindness, and said that he would go to handle some things first, and when he was done, he would definitely visit him.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the bus had arrived at Lulei, the "black silver steel capital". The woman, however, made a point of expressing her kindness, and wrote down an address to Duchamp, so that he could visit him when he had time.

Duchamp smiled and said goodbye to the lady, put the address in his pocket first, and thought to himself, "Maybe I can use it, but I will write it down for the time being." ”

He turned around and beckoned to the three friends: "Let's go!" ”

The three friends looked at the city motionless as if they had taken root.

I saw that under the heavenly dome and above the hills, there were towering majestic buildings, like steel swords, reaching into the sky.

Rulei, a city built on a hill, is uniquely divided into two floors, connected by a huge and magnificent ladder in the middle.

The upper part of the guide ladder is facing a large building with a towering 'RF' sign, the main building has more than 20 floors, and the topography of the mountain city makes it more magnificent and majestic. An aerial highway, like a roc spreading its wings, stretches from the top of the guide ladder to both sides, until the end of the skyline, like a rainbow fit, surrounded by jade belts, setting off the city like a country in the clouds.

Duchamp has long been accustomed to this kind of architecture, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but praise two sentences, and when he saw that everyone was still sluggish, he reminded loudly:

"Lu, I remember you once said, don't look around and point after entering the city, don't comment loudly about things you haven't seen, let people think that we are a group of dirt buns who have never seen the world."

Lu came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh: "I only understand now why you insist on coming out, I used to be a frog in the well, and I thought it was already terrible to be famous in Iron Horn Lane." ”

Not to mention the towering buildings on the upper floor of Lu Lei, the automatic guide escalator connecting the upper and lower floors of Lu Lei in front of the single building has already frightened the earth buns who have just entered the big city, they curiously looked at the people who took the escalator up and down, carefully held each other's hands, and took a test ride.

Duchamp saw that Li En was as reluctant as he was when he saw his favorite toy, and couldn't help but tease him: "Do you want us to sit up again from the opposite ladder, and then sit down again." ”

"Okay!" The three friends were all overjoyed.

Duchamp looked at them and not only remembered the memory of riding the escalator in a department store over and over again as a child.

It's only been three months, but the memories look like centuries ago.

"What a sea of vicissitudes!"

After Rien sat down the escalator again contentedly, Duchamp heard a prompt: "+1 to Lane Bond." ”

I'm going to go, my brother saved you a few times without adding points, and I took two elevators to add points.

As the world's manufacturing center, Rurey has a different appearance than any other city, full of steel behemoth-like factories and dedicated railways. The buns looked in amazement at the pipes and chimneys connected to the outside of some of the huge houses, and at the huge roar that came from time to time.

Due to the rapid development of industry, the population of Lulei has exceeded 300,000, and such a city, in China in the 21st century, is the capacity of an ordinary county-level city. However, in the year 1195 of the Qiyao calendar, the Erebonian Empire was already a prosperous metropolis known throughout the country, and it was a well-known black, silver and steel capital.

Due to the use of conductive force as a clean source, the air in this purely industrial city is fresh and pleasant in Duchamp's opinion, and with the occasional steam or something, the whole city is filled with a steampunk smell.

For Duchamp, who has been dealing with Warcraft and mercenaries for months, there is a taste of returning to the human world.

It was as if he had arrived at his home turf, and his whole body became more comfortable.

After wandering around for a while, Duchamp caught a kind-looking old gentleman and asked about the best hotel in Rure.

The old gentleman pondered for a while, and quickly gave his opinion: "The best hotel in Rurey is, of course, the LaGrand Hotel on the left side of the Lane Ford Club building, but the surroundings of that hotel are not convenient. I recommend going to the Rock Bird Hotel on Silver Street next to the central square, which is a sophisticated and quiet hotel with an elegant café. It is very convenient for accommodation, dining, or even going out to shop. ”

Saying goodbye to the old gentleman, Duchamp and his party came to Silver Street. Surprisingly, there is not a single shop selling silver on this street, it is full of snacks, clothing, and restaurants, and it looks like a rather prosperous commercial street.

When you find the Rock Bird Hotel, you know that this place is definitely not cheap when you look at the shiny double-sliding glass doors in the hotel lobby, the carpet that covers the leather uppers, and the crystal lamps that fall like a waterfall.

He couldn't help but comment on Duchamp's extravagance, but Duchamp retorted: "Andrew, I'm not only here for enjoyment, but also for everyone's safety." What city police will go to a luxury hotel to check the household register, and what thief dares to go to a luxury hotel to peep. In this high-class country, luxury is the best protective color. ”

Lu was speechless.

Cinleira cast an admiring gaze. Good job!

Along the way, if it were not for Duchamp's insistence, everyone would have to eat dry food and sleep in the open, and rush on two legs.

After washing up and eating, everyone walked around the neighborhood by the way, and Duchamp couldn't bear to be sleepy and proposed to rest early.

Since his distress in Umir, Duchamp has upgraded the firewall, and during this time, Duchamp has needed two more hours of rest every day than usual.
