After stopping for a few minutes or so, the two walked along the Bund, a square where a bronze bull stood, and a humanoid statue, a heroic sculpture of one of the founders and leaders of the People's Army of the Celestial Empire. To the west is NJ Road Pedestrian Street, where Lillian plans to go back when she returns, and now she is going to the other side of the river.

The Bund stands 52 classical revival buildings of different styles, facing the Huangpu River in the east and Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque buildings in the west. Sitting on the cruise ship, Rick and Lilian looked at the skyscrapers of Lujiazui as if they were shining in the clouds.

"Come on, everyone should pay attention to the fact that the Bund is the window of SH and the condensation of history, not only a scenic spot where natural landscape and cultural landscape are integrated, but also a scenic spot where Western classical style and modern characteristics of the Celestial Empire complement each other. One hundred and fifty years ago, SH was only a medium-sized county town on the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and the shipping industry was very underdeveloped, but after continuous development and growth, the Bund has been a symbol of Shanghai for more than 100 years, and has demonstrated the excellent ability of foreign civilization and local civilization to organically blend, innovate and develop. On the cruise ship, a tour guide holding a flag spoke vividly to a dozen young tourists wearing hats issued by the tour group.

"The wheel of history is rolling forward, the tide of the times is mighty, the history of the past, the story of the present, there must always be a spirit that needs to be inherited, look at Lujiazui on the other side, that is the cultural self-confidence of the Celestial Empire......"

In the next half hour, the tour guide introduced dozens of buildings such as the Future Assets Building, the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Shanghai International Convention Center, the Jin Mao Tower, and the Shanghai World Financial Center. After the cruise ship went around, Rick and Lillian came to the sightseeing tunnel of the Bund, it was already noon, Lilian chose a Haidilao hot pot restaurant on the pedestrian street, after entering, there were professional waiters to greet them, Rick and Lillian were led to a quiet place, and at the same time handed the English menu. The waiter introduced some of the specialties of the store, and Lillian chose a mandarin duck pot and a lot of messy dish names. With waiters on hand to provide special service, Rick and Lillian were not embarrassed, and after a meal, Lillian became obsessed with the hot pot of the Celestial Empire.

After eating, Lillian started to buy on the pedestrian street again, and in two high-end clothing stores, one could stay for an hour, and Rick could only follow behind, and only when Rick carried seven hardcover bags in his two hands, Lillian would not stop. Eventually, Lillian wanted to see the Bund Tunnel, so she found a place to store her luggage and bought a ticket to see it.

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is located in the SH diamond section, and the inner wall of the tunnel is created by high-tech means of various strange colors, which have been constantly changing, sitting in the fully transparent carriage, the sound effect in the carriage and the landscape in front of you are combined, making people have an immersive shock.

After watching, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the two took the car back to the airport hotel, because it was the rush hour after work, so the road was relatively congested, and it took nearly an hour to return to the hotel. Rick put Lilian's things on the coffee table in the living room and fell on the sofa, but to Rick's satisfaction, Lilian also bought herself a casual outfit, and the price didn't seem to be cheap.

"Let's go, let's go out to dinner!" Lillian volunteered to call Rick. This time, Parker hasn't come back yet, only two minutes after coming back and going out again, Rick's heart actually refuses, but he is very honest, "Okay, where to go?" ”

"Well, let's go to the bank first, I'll go exchange some yuan" Lilian thought for a moment.

Rick had a bad premonition in his heart, in the afternoon, Lillian bought all the clothes and accessories on the pedestrian street, and it really cost a lot of money, but the pile of RM coins was more than 10,000 yuan, and now there should be a few hundred yuan, and it should be enough to have dinner, there is no need to exchange it, unless, this girl has other ideas!

Sure enough, after exchanging some RM coins and having dinner at a chain buffet restaurant, Lillian did not go back to the hotel, but asked the taxi driver to drive to Wanda Plaza. What a trustworthy person, he said he would go in the morning, and he really went.

In the mall, Rick kept pressing down on a shopping cart in one hand, hoping to squeeze out more space, and Lillian was only responsible for taking things from the shelves and handing them to Rick, not looking back at the back to see how many things were already in the shopping cart. Two carts full of food, when Lillian noticed how many things she had chosen, Rick had already pulled three shopping carts, and for Rick's hard work, Lillian couldn't bear to add another empty cart to Rick, and then pulled two more in her own hands. Because it had taken more than an hour to exchange RM coins and eat the buffet, it was already past ten o'clock. In order to get back to the hotel in time, Lillian had to stop, but it was not easy, and filling six shopping carts in two hours was already wonderful! In order to make it easier to carry, Lilian bought four king-size suitcases by the way, but it still couldn't fit six carts of food, and the other Celestial Dynasty customers thought that these two people were coming to the mall to buy goods and sell them, Rick had a suitcase and a large shopping bag in one hand, and a big bag in his mouth, and the cashier at the checkout couldn't stand it, so he contacted their manager, because Lilian consumed more than six thousand things alone, so the mall decided to deliver to the door for free.

On the way, Pat calls and urges the two to go back as soon as possible, and Lillian says that she is already on her way. After going back, Pat saw the things Lilian bought, so he contacted someone to send them to the transport plane, and got on the plane first, and after getting on the X-Siberia passenger plane, several men in black came to the hotel to transfer the materials placed in the living room to the transport plane. However, Lilian asked Rick to bring a suitcase, so there should be no nothing to do on the way.

After the plane lifted off and took a look at the bustling city below, Rick fell asleep, he was so tired from the day that he couldn't open his eyes when he closed them. Although she ate a lot of delicious things, it was far from enough for this rich girl to toss.

To the northeast of the Chukotka Peninsula in the Far East of the North, there is a place called Cape Otto Schmidt, which was a military base during the SL era, and an airfield for strategic bombers was built, and after the dissolution of the SL, the military base was abandoned. Due to the existence of the military base at that time, a small town developed here, with more than 17,000 people at its peak, but it gradually moved away over time, and now it is almost an empty city. There is a statue in the center of the town, in honor of SL polar explorer Otto Yuryevich Schmidt, originally this unattended area, but for some reason, so that expeditions from all over the world have come, and now the airport has also been restored by the government of the North, and the airport area has become a sought-after place, many planes because there is not enough parking space to fly to other airports in the north after the release of passengers, there are many luxury ships and some icebreakers on the ocean, the town is also because of the arrival of the expedition team, Catering and hostels are the two major industries here. At present, the government of the northern country has only opened this one port to the X-Siberian Islands, and all domestic ships passing through the islands have been stopped.

The ships that came and went every day needed supplies, so many northerners came here from nearby towns to sell their goods, and the area became very prosperous for a while. The three planes of the expedition team of country M landed at the airport in turn, and before getting off the plane, the flight attendant gave everyone a set of polar suits to protect them from the cold, like Rick, who had never experienced winter, and could not even walk after wearing this heavy clothes, and felt uncomfortable all over the body, Lillian was okay, because she often went skiing in Alaska, so she adapted to this climate early, and Rick naturally did not have that condition, to be honest, this is the first time Rick has seen ice and snow, Rick has never been out of Hawaii before, So I was amazed by the natural landscape of this cold zone.

After getting off the plane, Rick felt shivering all over his body, the heating was on the plane all the time, and suddenly got off the plane, everyone felt cold, Rick wore a helf warm hat, Lilian saw Rick with trembling legs, so he gave him a cotton mask, Rick quickly took it and put it on, fortunately it came in time, if it wasn't for his snot to come out, it would have turned into Xiaoice pieces and fell to the ground.

The group did not stop in the town, and went directly to a super giant ship in the port, Rick felt that the ship looked bigger than the Titanic, and when he got on the passenger ship, Rick felt much better. Because Pat was the central figure of the expedition, Rick Lillian and Pat were separated, and as relatives, Rick and Lillian were divided into a suite, which had only one large bedroom, but two large beds, a bathroom, and a small living room like a study decoration. The only thing that is satisfying is that the whole ship is connected to the civil satellite signal of country M, and there is a free WiFi network, but the signal is not very good.

It didn't take long for Rick to see from the cabin that two planes had landed at the airport one after another, and the words of the Celestial Empire Eastern Airlines were printed on the outside of the planes, which should be the representative team of the Celestial Empire. Rick couldn't figure out what was important about this group of islands, which was worthy of being surveyed by a team from various countries, Rick checked the information and found that the archipelago consisted of three islands, the Anjou Islands, Liahoff and Delonga, and the highest point was less than 400 meters, because the climate was very cold, and most of the area belonged to the Arctic desert and tundra zone, and there were no living resources, so the local residents were very scarce, mainly relying on hunting and fishing for a living, to a certain extent, it could be called isolated, Judging by the panoramic map of Google Earth, there is basically nothing modern there.

"Do you know what this place is worth exploring, I've always felt that this place is not as valuable as the polar expeditions" Rick asked, looking at Lillian, expecting some useful information from her.

"Don't you know? There's an alien spaceship unearthed beneath the stratum there, and I only found out about it two days ago, but it doesn't matter anymore, and soon the whole world will know about it."
