Chapter 103: The White House
"Come, two, and welcome to the most luxurious and popular hotel on the planet - the White House!"
After a ten-minute "long journey", the scenery next to the float car has always been an endless ocean, until a very different dot appears at the sea level in the distance, and the round roof first appears in front of several people.
The microbrain controls the floating car, lowering the altitude to a distance of only a few meters from the sea level, three turbines stretch out from the body, smoothly supporting the floating car forward, the powerful air flow brought by the vortex stirs up the raging waves, forming a dense water mist barrier behind the floating car.
More than 100 meters away from the docking platform, the turbine of the floating car began to turn, driving the body of the vehicle to turn 180 degrees in situ, and slowly reversed into the port.
"Isn't the White House on land, how can it be in such a place?" Yang Jingzhong got out of the car and glanced around, the docking platform was very high, and everything nearby was in full view.
However, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing to be seen except for the churning waves and the occasional fish popping out of the water, and there may be hundreds of kilometers of uninhabited seas and desert islands nearby.
"It was on land, but that was before my family bought it." Aoki poured two glasses of dark yellow liquid and handed them to the two with a smile. 、
Yang Jingzhong just took the wine glass, and a rich aroma of wine came to his face.
"Hey, it's so strong, but the smell is a little familiar." Yang Jingzhong took a sip of wine and put it on the tip of his tongue to savor it, and the mellow aroma of rice and wheat spread around the tip of his tongue, reaching deep into his throat.
"Guess what kind of wine this is?" Aoki took Xing Bingyan's dry wine glass, this guy, he thought it was just an ordinary drink, and he poured it down in one gulp, and he probably didn't even taste the taste.
Fortunately, this wine is not ginseng fruit, so he still has a chance to drink a second glass.
"I only know that this is rice wine, but the taste of ordinary rice wine is not so mellow." Yang Jingzhong raised the wine glass to about the height of his forehead, and carefully looked at the color of the wine in the sunlight. "Moreover, the color of this wine is so dark that you can only see a faint hint of yellow."
"Hahaha, that's right, this wine does have a slightly darker color, but that's because of the caramel color." Aoki took a sip and lingered in his mouth, "Shaoxing rice wine was originally orange, but because my father likes darker drinks, the wine adds a little color to this rice wine, but fortunately, the taste has not changed." ”
"Speaking of which, why do you have this kind of wine in your family, I remember that many famous wine practices have been lost, including this Shaoxing rice wine." Xing Bingyan pinched the wine glass, the glass just now made him a little uncomfortable in his stomach now, you know, in order to eat more at noon, he only ate one bun for breakfast, and there is almost no difference between a stomach and an empty stomach at this time.
"My father is a wine lover and collector, and the bottle we drink now has been sitting here for more than ten years, and do you think there is anything that money can't solve in today's society?" Aoki Kawakami smiled and drank the remaining less than half of the rice wine in the cup, "Come on, let's go downstairs." ”
The two followed Aoki down the stairs, and the interior of the White House building hadn't changed much, with everything from the presidential bedroom to the office area. While the two were amazed, they couldn't help but admire the Aoki family's protection of this ancient building, a huge White House, even if they found the most remote corner, they couldn't touch a trace of dust.
"Aoki, have you been living here for a long time?" Yang Jingzhong pinched his fingers, and he really couldn't find a little bit of dust.
"Of course not, but occasionally it might be used to entertain guests."
"Then how can you be so clean here?"
Aoki stopped, and after his palm froze in the air for a second, he slapped it crisply twice. A hologram dressed in a kimono and entirely an image of an ancient Japanese woman stood in front of the trio.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" The blue man bowed slightly to Aoki Kawajo and said very respectfully.
"It's okay, Yuexin, you usually do a good job, I'm very satisfied. Are those cleaning robots for you still handy? But is there any damage that needs to be repaired? Aoki stood in front of the hologram, the difference in height between the two sides and Aoki's gentle and warm tone made others feel that Aoki was not talking to his sister as the owner of this building, but as an older brother.
"Thanks to the third brother's concern, the quality of those robots is very good, and there are no minor problems after five years of use."
"That's good, okay, you can get busy, I'll accompany my friends to go shopping, and I'll look for you if I have something."
"Huh, okay."
The hologram disappeared, but Aoki's gaze never moved, looking at the place where the image disappeared and refusing to speak for a long time.
"Ahem, Aoki, listen to Yuexin, you're the third brother, right? But according to the information, you are the second son of the president of Rainforest Group? Xing Bingyan saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, and hurriedly diverted the topic.
"If I am now the second son, it is true. But I actually have two older brothers, and the older one was raised as the heir to the group, so he didn't announce his identity as my father's eldest son. It's a pity that ten years ago, as a weapons inspector of the Rainforest Group, he went to Sengerman to inspect the equipment of the garrison fleet, but he didn't expect the biggest bug attack in human history to happen. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. ”
Aoki Kawakami raised his head and pointed to the little blue man on the astrolabe in the distance: "The micro-brain of this White House is actually portrayed by my sister's brain, at that time she was clamoring to go to Sengerman Star with her eldest brother, but when she came back, there was almost no complete place in her body except for her brain." My father could only turn her into a microbrain and live in this world in another way. ”
"Although ten years have passed, every time I return to this place, I think my sister is still alive, and if my sister is still alive, it should be better looking than the way Microbrain looks now. This war has really caused us too much loss......" Aoki sighed and shook his head self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to call you two to relax today, but I can't help it." ”
"It's okay, it's good to know some cruel facts, otherwise you can only feel the atmosphere of peace in the school, and forget that this is a war age." Yang Jingzhong patted Aoki on the shoulder.
If it was put into the time when he just woke up from hibernation, Yang Jingzhong would definitely not empathize with Aoki's pain as he did now, but after returning from the NF fleet, he understood a lot in an instant, and this era is by no means a good opportunity for them to rise to prominence as officers, but a war between life and death. Thinking that half of the descendants of the Aoki family as a large family died in the war, you can imagine how big the casualties of civilians were.
"Without further ado, come on, welcome to the White House's Underground Sea World."
Aoki slapped his palm, and the lights turned on from near to far, reflecting the surrounding glass walls. The moment the lights were turned on, a hammerhead shark slapped its tail hard against the glass wall, and then swam out again.
Not only the room where Yang Jingzhong and they stayed, but also the sea outside the glass was lit up with various colors of lights, illuminating the surrounding dim sea area, surrounding schools of fish of all colors, and the landform of the seabed.
"Yes, it's really beautiful, I didn't expect you to build such a facility underground." Xing and Yang looked like they were entering the city with dirt buns, and their eyes were round.
"This is not the view at the lowest level, this underground structure extends all the way to the lava, but we can only go to this level, and only my father is qualified to go below."
"Then you're welcome." Xing Bingyan didn't wait for Aoki to finish speaking, and lay down directly on the nearest sofa, "But I'm tired to death." ”
"Pay attention to the image, this is not a ......"
"It's okay, just treat this place as your home, just tell Microbrain what you want to eat, and a robot will naturally send it to you." Aoki interrupted Yang Jingzhong's words with a smile, to be honest, he liked Xing Bingyan's unrestrained personality very much.
"Third brother, second brother came to visit, saying that he wanted to meet you." Aoki had almost everything arranged, and Tsuki's hologram stood behind him.
"Second brother? What is he doing here? Aoki Kawakami frowned, he has not had a very good relationship with this brother since he was a child, and he may not be able to say a word for a few days, but somehow, looking at Yuexin's expression, the second brother has something urgent to find him today.
"Isn't it okay to come and catch up with my brother once in a while?" As soon as Aoki's words fell, a young man with a tall figure and two mustaches on his lips stood behind him, and unlike Aoki Kawakami, this young man obviously looked a lot more vicissitudes, and his cheeks, which should have been smooth, were already full of wrinkles.
"Aoki, this is ......"
"Oh, let me introduce you, this is my brother, Aoki Furugen, a cadet of the Army University in the Moon's Arctic Circle." Although he was not happy in his heart, Aoki Kawakami still smiled and introduced his brother to the two.
"Arctic Circle seniors? Look up for a long time. When the two of them heard the name of this military school, they were immediately in awe. You must know that although the Earth Federation Naval University is the best military school in terms of comprehensive ability, it is inferior to some other excellent schools in some specific aspects.
One of them is the Arctic Circle Army University on the Moon, which is said to have been founded by a group of ELS officers and has the most difficult learning environment in the entire solar system and even in the area controlled by humans, but it is precisely because of the difficult environment that the army officers who come out of this school are first-class talents.
"It's okay, you guys can continue playing, I have something to do with my brother." Aoki Guyuan raised his hat slightly as a return gift to the two, and turned his head to look at Aoki Kawagami with a serious face, "It's not good to say here, let's go upstairs and say." ”
