Chapter 105, Mayor Wang Meiling's Sigh (I)

At this time of year, when summer is approaching, the scenery in the mountains and fields always becomes exceptionally bright.

The clear sky is like a touch of washed silk, blue and boundless, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

The blazing and dazzling sun shines down from the cloudless blue sky, the verdant mountains and fields, the streams and lakes sparkling, and the city of Arnous, surrounded by mountains, is even more magnificent and beautiful.

Today, after more than four years of development and operation, the city of Arnus, which has been built by the Chinese authorities in the other world with the help of Doraemon black technology, is no longer the empty depression at the beginning, but as prosperous and noisy as a real trading port.

From the mayor's villa at the top of the inner city wall tower, the tempered glass terrace looks down, only to see the outer city between the two city walls, between the modern buildings that were once empty and idle, the streets that were once empty as a ghost town are now bustling with vehicles and people all day long, and the shops on the street are also open, wafting the aroma of all kinds of food, coupled with the brilliance of electronic billboards, and street performances to attract customers, making this once cold city, It becomes full of vivid life.

Batches of otherworldly tour groups from various countries on the earth, as well as various tertiary industries serving tour groups, have injected vigorous vitality here. The city's consumer market is dominated by scientific research and research institutions from various countries that are stationed under the cooperation agreement, as well as patients from various countries who receive "magic treatments" and traders who buy products from other worlds. A variety of plants and flowers born from the earth and other worlds thrive in flower beds and parks. In this reinforced concrete city, there is no shortage of refreshing natural scenery.

Although the population of the city has increased a lot, it does not show much congestion, chaos and hustle, but still maintains smooth and clean traffic As an artificially designed and built bridgehead from the Atlas, and an "advertising window" to show the advanced nature of the earth's civilization to the indigenous people of the Atlas, although the city of Arnous has two layers of seemingly medieval style 30-meter-high walls, it is actually a modernist and sci-fi low-fire version of the fortress city (because the military threat of the otherworldly forces is weak). Since it has only been three or four years since it was built, the city does not have any head-scratching problems with the renovation of the old town. And, thanks to its ability to terralyp, the city of Arnoos has used the most rational urban layout, the best public transport, and the most advanced electricity, water and garbage disposal systems from the very beginning.

To reduce pollution, the city has been powered by cold-fusion Ark reactors, supplemented by wind farms and small hydroelectric power stations scattered across the countryside. In addition to military use, the entire city of Arnoos has banned the use of internal combustion engine vehicles in principle, and has replaced them with an all-electric transportation system consisting of electric cars, electric buses, electric light rail and electric cable cars, so that people can enjoy clean air in the city.

For the tourists who visit this place, and the scientific research personnel and service personnel who come here to work, this is really an ideal tourist scenic city, not only has the scenery that cannot be seen on the earth, but also has everything as a modern city, in terms of safety and security, water and electricity supply, fresh food, medical welfare and cultural entertainment, even better than Hong Kong on the other side of the "door", so that the first batch of grassroots civil servants who were ordered to be dispatched were dumbfounded because of the secrecy measures. They still think that they want to be like their predecessors who built a nuclear test base in Lop Nur in Xinjiang in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, carrying tools, rations, cooking utensils, and self-defense weapons, and relying on themselves in the middle of nowhere.

As a result, they provide garden apartments or even small bungalows for free, and they can move in directly with the keys, and the dormitory conditions are usually much better than the kennel in their own hometown...... When the real situation in the city of Arnoos spread in the domestic society, it immediately caused an earthquake-like sensation. Even if they need to pass through layers of political review, people who want to work and live here are still flocking to it, and they have to rush to the top every time they recruit......

Obviously, as the manager of this prosperous city, Mayor Wang Meiling has also become one of the objects of envy and hatred among local cadres across the country.

However, at this moment, overlooking the vibrant, strange and colorful city at her feet, Wang Meiling's mood is only gloomy and helpless.

Because, like an amusement park that is about to close, all this that is now unfolding in front of her eyes has actually gradually come to an end.

About two months ago, Hanty, the creator of the space-time gate of the Arnus Hills and the goddess of the underworld of the Falmatt continent, sent the subgod apostle to this place to convey a message to her: the "main god system" that usurped the control of the space-time gate from the hands of the goddess Handy and connected the Victoria Bay of Hong Kong to the otherworldly Arnus Hills has been attached to the space-time gate and is expected to disappear in the near future.

And the indescribable interfering force exerted by the "main god system" on the "door" is precisely the key "anchor chain" that binds the earth and the fantasy world. Once this chain disappears, then due to the different worlds on both sides of the space-time gate, it will gradually begin to loosen, collide and detach like two ships barely glued together. Next, according to the calculation of Goddess Handi, in another year or so, there will be a violent earthquake at the spatial junction of the two worlds, and two years later, it will develop into a space earthquake, and even the outburst of space-time turbulence, resulting in various devastating cosmic-level natural disasters.

Therefore, if you don't want to trigger a crisis of extinction, for Mayor Wang Meiling, the time to say goodbye to the fantasy world is almost coming.

Of course, Wang Meiling can also be like Political Commissar Guo and his followers, wait until the "door" is closed, and continue to stay on the fantasy world of Falmatt to engage in interstellar colonization and open a semicolon for Chinese civilization. But the problem is that as an aunt, Wang Meiling does not have the enthusiasm to do this.

After all, the meaning of life is different in the minds of different people. Some people are willing to give everything for their ideals, just to live a different and wonderful life; But most people will still choose to live a dull life, and Mayor Wang Meiling's choice is obviously the latter.

Therefore, her current mentality is similar to that of a cadre who is about to retire, and she is no longer very concerned about various official duties. In addition to wanting to stand on the last shift in peace, and then hand over everything in the city to Political Commissar Guo's energetic crossing colonists, he put his mind on preparing for his fiftieth birthday, planning to hold an unprecedented grand birthday banquet for himself in another world, and have a good time.

Although there are countless cases of grand birthday banquets held in the world, people like her who can hold birthday celebrations in another world and receive congratulatory gifts from empresses and kings from other worlds are probably the only ones in the past, which makes Mayor Wang Meiling feel extra face-saving when she thinks about it!

Well, I'm afraid that even the birthday celebration of Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom will be overshadowed by this birthday banquet she held in Arnous City!

How does it feel like the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was bent on her 60th birthday on the eve of the First Sino-Japanese War......

In fact, as a high-powered national civil servant, Wang Meiling held a birthday banquet like this and turned her 50th birthday into a city-wide carnival, which is actually very taboo in the officialdom. Even if you pay money out of your own pocket, you are likely to be accused of being a fake public servant, which will affect your reputation and future...... But Wang Meiling said that she didn't care about this at all, anyway, after the "door" was closed, her official fortune was estimated to be over. If you're lucky, you might be stuffed into a clear water yamen like the Party History Office. If she is unlucky, it is estimated that she will retire early.

Now that your career has come to an end, why not take this last opportunity to leave an eternal memorial to the peak of your life and draw a memorable happy ending to your otherworldly career? Anyway, after the state got the news, it didn't ban it!

At this moment, Mayor Wang Meiling is sitting on the balcony of her villa, leisurely overlooking the cityscape outside the window, while listening to Li Wei, who has just returned from delivering birthday banquet invitations from Torch Port, about the content of his exchange with Political Commissar Guo, especially the description of the population explosion crisis in the third world countries on the earth, as well as the pessimistic prediction of the arrival of the era of global war......

ps: I was shocked to hear that Huang Yi had passed away, and I sighed very much. In the domestic literary world, his "Quest for Qin" is the originator of the cross-stream (it seems to be the first to be opened by Mark Twain in the world), and his pinnacle work "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has provided a background for countless fandom and infinite stream writers. It's a pity that the "Tang Dynasty Trilogy" he scheduled to write, after writing the first "Sun and Moon in the Sky", I am afraid that he will be a eunuch forever.
