Chapter 2 The Great Song Dynasty
Li Haoden was stunned, what was going on? He had a vague guess that his crossing in the morning was probably because of this thing.
Another line of Chinese was added to the light curtain: "Since this is the first time to actively use, the intelligent assistance system of the wormhole is turned on at the same time, and the voice function is loaded." ”
A soft female voice sounded in Li Hao's head: "Hello user, I am the intelligent system of the super wormhole, which is a means of transportation used to travel through different universes and time and space. ”
"Huh?!" Li Hao jumped up and rubbed his ears, "Could it be that there is something wrong with my ears?" ”
"You're hearing, I'm communicating with you through brain waves. I am a super wormhole, also known as a space-time tunnel, which is the only vehicle that can be accurately located and can travel 100% safely through different cosmic space-times. I am the technological crystallization of the Yaling Clan, a tenth-level civilization, and the great Yaling Clan's technology has developed to its peak, and it is called the Protoss by other races.
"You have the talent of the Force enough to use wormholes, and you meet the minimum requirements for the Yaling Civilization Heritage. I started the Confession process this morning, which inevitably caused space-time fluctuations, allowing you to travel to a mirrored plane. But rest assured, traveling through mirrored time and space will not cause you any harm. ”
Li Hao was stunned, and after a while he digested these words, he asked, "What is mirror time and space?" ”
"It's like a mirror that mirrors the space-time of the Overworld, which is what you call a parallel universe. It's just that that mirror space-time has a delay effect of hundreds of years, and it is currently in the late Northern Song Dynasty in the history of the main world. ”
It turned out that he had a trip to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty in the morning, Li Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he needed money too much now, and he should be able to earn a lot of silver by bringing some modern small commodities to the Northern Song Dynasty to sell, isn't that more than summer work?
Li Hao asked carefully, and after more than an hour, he already knew quite well about this super wormhole, and his idea was feasible. He also learned that this wormhole intelligent system also shoulders the mission of inheriting the Yaling civilization, and the Yaling civilization has a method of cultivating the Force, which is the basis for them to develop to a god-level civilization.
The Force of the Yaling clan seems to be even more powerful than in science fiction movies, but Li Hao does not know this in detail for the time being. It's not that he doesn't be interested, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to it, but there are priorities in action, and if you don't make money now, even food expenses will be a problem, so the top priority is to carry out space-time trade to make money.
After repeated deliberations, Li Hao began to plan a trip to the Northern Song Dynasty.
……
Near Huaxia University of Technology, Li Hao rented a one-bedroom suite with a kitchen and bathroom, after all, there were other students in the school who stayed on campus, and it was difficult to keep secrets in the dormitory.
Close the doors and windows of the rental suite and lower the thick curtains.
Li Hao had already bought Song Dynasty-style costume clothes, shoes and socks, as well as wigs for filming costume films. The clothes are silk, and it is not easy to find burlap in modern society, compared to silk, which is easy to buy. After dressing neatly, he looked in the mirror, and he looked like an ancient nobleman.
The table was filled with all sorts of "must-haves" for crossing.
The items used for self-defense are: a Swiss Army knife, two electric shock devices, two self-defense sprayers, a powerful stun electric shock stick, a bag of lime powder, and a set of powerful alloy crossbow arrows. It's a pity that Huaxia is too strict with gun control, and it is impossible for him to get some of that stuff. Otherwise, bring a pistol and the safety of the trip will be greatly improved.
Other items include a small first-aid kit, a watch with a compass, a telescope, a few loaves of bread and two bottles of purified water. These things are packed in antique baggage, and they are quite light to carry on the body.
After everything was ready, Li Hao opened the super wormhole.
A little blue light lit up in front of me, and the blue light gradually expanded, forming an aperture with a diameter of two meters.
This circle of light resembles Doramon's wishful door, stepping over to another time and space. As long as you take one step, it is equivalent to going backwards for hundreds of years and returning to the world at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Li Hao chose the west of Quanzhou City for the coordinates he crossed, considering that Quanzhou was a very prosperous treaty port at that time, pretending to be a "returnee" would not attract attention. Li Hao knew that his language and habits must be very different from those of the Song Dynasty, and if he did not have a convincing identity, he would probably arouse suspicion in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty.
When everything was ready, Li Hao passed through the aperture.
One step out is equivalent to going back 800 years.
Li Hao walked across the aperture and appeared in a forest, the blue aperture behind him still flashing as usual.
Li Hao observed the surroundings, this is an uninhabited mountain forest, and it is full of towering ancient trees. This wormhole is the crystallization of a top-level alien civilization, and it will not be dangerous in the process of traversing, so that it will not fall into the air and fall to death, nor will it be drowned in the water.
Closing the wormhole, Li Hao identified the direction through the compass, and Li Hao walked to the east. The city of Quanzhou is in that direction.
After walking for a short time, I found an official road paved with loess, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the official road, and occasionally ox carts and mules carrying goods walked by.
Song Dynasty people!
Li Hao observed through the telescope for a while, and the style of the passerby's clothes was similar to his own, but the dyeing process seemed to be quite poor, and the color looked a little unnatural.
After touching the self-defense equipment in the baggage and putting it in the easiest position to take out, Li Hao slowly walked to the official road and headed towards Quanzhou.
He walked on the official road, which was not too noticeable, but there were many passers-by who would look at him a few times before hurrying by. Many of these pedestrians walked in groups, and Li Hao occasionally heard their conversations, pronounced with some hints of Cantonese and Hokkien, but he could understand most of them, and only a few syllables did not know what they meant.
Halfway through, I sat down at the bottom of the tree and rested for a while, ate some dry food, drank some pure water, and walked for a long time, and finally the magnificent city wall appeared in my sight.
Li Hao walked behind a big tree on the side of the road and secretly took out a telescope to observe.
There were a few soldiers guarding the city gate, and Li Hao adjusted the magnification of the telescope to look at those soldiers more clearly.
They were dressed in uniform and carried a tasseled spear in their hands, and under the high-powered telescopes, they could clearly see the details of the spear. The barrel is wooden, and the metal work of the gun head seems to be worse than expected, but the edge of the tip is polished and looks quite sharp.
The soldiers paid no attention to the pedestrians entering the city, but simply looked at the goods on the ox carts and collected some entrance fees.
There were quite a lot of people coming in and out of the city gate, some carrying vegetables and some pushing carts, but the order was quite good. Li Hao looked at it for a while and determined that the soldiers were only collecting taxes on bulk goods, and did not inspect and interrogate individuals. He looks like the noble son of this world, and he won't attract their attention, so he should have no problem entering the city.
Li Hao walked onto the official road and walked towards the city gate with other pedestrians. When they passed through the city gates, the soldiers did not stop them.
After walking through the dark doorway, the eyes suddenly opened up, as if walking into the picture scroll of "Qingming Riverside Picture". Rows of ancient houses are lined up one after another, and the eaves are scattered. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and there was a lot of people. Li Hao was stunned, although he had already prepared his thoughts, he was also deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
This is Da Song!
Eight hundred years ago, the Great Song Dynasty came to the face, with a noisy sound, a long-term charm, and a sense of historical reality.
For a moment, Li Hao was in a trance, and there was a dreamlike feeling.
Li Hao has watched a lot of costume movies and TV series, but it is far from being compared with the scenery in front of him, the pattern of those film and television sets is too small, and it brings out the grandeur of the scene in front of him. A straight street has no end in sight, and the street is full of pedestrians. There are many shops on both sides of the street, Li Hao walked all the way down, only to see teahouses, inns, car dealers, casinos, wine shops, money villages, pawnshops, rice shops, dyeing workshops, etc., all kinds of shops and workshops crowded on the side of the street.
Along the way, Liu Yong's "Looking at the Sea Tide" naturally came to mind, and this poem is the best portrayal of the things in front of me: "...... The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. …… The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. ……”
If you go back to engage in a tourism project of "a tour of Quanzhou in the Great Song Dynasty", tourists will definitely flock to it. It's just that Li Hao can't do this, and he will never let the second person know the secret of the wormhole.
Most of the pedestrians on the street walk leisurely, and you can see that the pace of life here is quite slow, unlike the big cities of the 21st century, where pedestrians are rushing by against the clock.
Passers-by always look at themselves a few times and seem to see that they are different. Li Hao was a little puzzled, his clothes were no different from them, why did they still think they were weird?
It wasn't until Li Hao saw a boy and brother come out of the carriage that he finally understood the reason. He is dressed in high-quality silk, and he is definitely dressed up if he is not rich, it stands to reason that this kind of noble son is a servant in and out, and he is wandering alone, no wonder others are surprised.
There is a saying that "respect Luo Yi first and then respect people", because in this kind of society, you can see at a glance whether you have money or not, and people who are covered in silk all over their bodies must be very rich. It is so rare for this kind of person to go out on the street without bringing three or two servants, so people think it is a little strange.
Along the way, I still saw some unclothed citizens, and some of them had vegetables on their faces, and they knew that they were malnourished at a glance, and beggars could meet a few from time to time. After the initial first glance was amazing, Li Hao began to feel a real Great Song Dynasty, after all, it was still a feudal dynasty with backward technology, and the living standards of ordinary people were still very poor.
Of course, scientific and technological backwardness refers to the fact that compared with the 21st century, the Song Dynasty and its contemporaries were completely in a leading position in terms of economy, science and technology, and culture. If the national income is calculated as later generations, the GDP of the Song Dynasty may account for more than 80% of the world's GDP. At this point in time, the Chinese civilization was far ahead of the world.
Li Hao walked and saw a pawnshop again. This pawnshop is very large, with a huge traditional character "dang" hanging at the door, and a plaque at the door that reads "Han Ji Pawnshop".
Need to exchange some coins, or you won't be able to move an inch on this plane.
Li Hao walked into the pawnshop, there were customers in front of the counter to handle business, he paced to a vacant counter, took out a lighter and put it on the counter. "Look at how much this treasure is worth."
