043 The Convergence of Mountains and Waters
Jintancheng is located in the northeast of Qingmang Mountain, and the Qinluo River passes through the city, bringing developed water transportation, which also makes Jintancheng the largest commercial city in the vicinity.
Chang Ming listened to Luo Xiaoli's narration, looked at the endless peaks on both sides, and said, "There are mountains all the way." ”
Lu Ding had been sitting silently on the side, and then suddenly said: "Qingmang Mountain belongs to the Minling Mountain Range, which divides Dongwuzhou into two regions, the east and the west, which are wide and narrow. The west side is called Bailin District, and the east side is called Huangsen District. Although these two districts belonged to the Aoki Empire, due to this mountain range, the Empire's control over the White Forest District was relatively small. ”
After this period of interaction, he knew that Chang Ming was extremely talented in mechanical skills, but as if he was born in the wilderness, he didn't know much about all kinds of common sense. So at this time, he took the initiative to introduce the overview, which was concise and clear.
Chang Ming's eyes flashed and he asked, "Jintan City is located at the exit of the Minling Mountain Range?"
Luding smiled and nodded.
As he was talking, Lao Yang shouted: "It's coming soon!"
He turned along the mountain road, and Chang Ming's eyes suddenly opened up, under the blue sky and white clouds, the boundless plain stretched out into the distance. In such a vast plain, the walls rose high, and a city crouched majestically and magnificently, like a quiet beast of prey, with a little languid ferocity.
A wide river rushed from the end of the sight, through the city, and then rushed into the distance, disappearing behind the mountain at the other end.
This should be the Qinluo River. Hearing Luo Xiaoli say before, Chang Ming thought it was an ordinary river, but now it is not inferior to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
Chang Ming estimated the size of this world and asked, "Is the Qinluo River the largest river in Dongwu Prefecture?"
Luo Xiaoli laughed: "Brother Xiao Chang, why don't you know anything, are you really from Dongwuzhou?"
Chang Ming grimaced at her: "Yes, I'm not from this world at all!"
Luo Xiaoli laughed, not taking his words seriously at all. Lu Ding also smiled slightly and said, "The Qinluo River is the third largest river in Dongwuzhou, which flows from west to east and flows into the East End Sea. It intersects with the Minling Mountains in this section, about 1,000 kilometers or so, and then separates. ”
Chang Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "It would be nice if there was a map." ”
Lu Ding said disapprehantly: "A simple map, there is a bookstore in Jintancheng." If you want to look more closely, I'm afraid it's only in the royal family or big families. ”
Speaking of this, a haze swept across his face, and Chang Ming saw it keenly, but he didn't say anything.
From Qingmang Mountain to Jintan City, there is a smooth road, this road is paved with bluestone slabs, Chang Ming has never seen such a good road since he came to this world. And the road is wide enough for eight locomotives to walk side by side at the same time. Now, there are many machine cars walking back and forth on it, and there are many kinds of vehicles, which make people look at each other.
Chang Ming always thought that the machine cars in this world were much more backward than the cars in the previous world, not to mention anything else, the degree of bumps alone was far worse - Lu Ding didn't speak before, most likely because he endured motion sickness. Fortunately, this time I came out, the journey was much shorter than the last time, and the road was easier to walk than last time, so it didn't make him vomit all kinds of meat, I don't know what year it is. Now seeing the traffic in Jintan City, Chang Ming knows that it is not because of the backwardness of the mechanism, but because he has too little knowledge!
In the traffic, there are boxy box cars like theirs, there are six or eight long-legged multi-legged cars, and there are also hovercars with flat bottoms and smooth lines throughout! Occasionally, a winged winged like a bird glides past and disappears from sight in the blink of an eye.
Chang Ming was dazzled, and suddenly, a blue light flashed from the corner of his eyes, and he watched a person riding on a tiger-shaped machine beast and running wildly! This machine beast was composed of an indigo metal, its limbs were firm and powerful, and the blue light on its body undulated when it ran, like the light and shadow of muscle movement, with a kind of vigorous beauty.
There are many cars on the road, and the tiger is relatively small, and it can move flexibly between the seams. There were two cars in front of him close together, and the man slapped the tiger on the head, and the tiger suddenly jumped into the air, easily jumped over the roof of the car, and continued to run forward.
It jumped extremely smartly, its limbs stretched out, leaving a light blue light and shadow in the air, Chang Ming couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful!"
Until the trap tiger disappeared, Chang Ming still looked at the direction of its disappearance reluctantly, and muttered: "It's so beautiful, if only I could make such a mechanism......
Luding said, "This is a high-level combat mechanism that can be ridden, and only high-level mechanics can make it. ”
Luo Xiaoli retorted: "You see, this Trap Tiger is not ordinary, at least it can only be done by the Great Grandmaster of the Organ." You see how natural and fluid it moves......"
Lu Ding's face was slightly red, and he didn't refute at all: "You said yes......"
He was obviously agreeing, but Luo Xiaoli was even more dissatisfied: "What do you mean by I say yes? What I said is true! I used to ...... it."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly closed her mouth and did not continue to speak. Chang Ming stared at the direction in which the tiger disappeared, not paying attention to her expression, only Lu Ding glanced at her suspiciously.
When I went around the hill, I felt that it was not very far from the city gate, but when the machine car drove on the road, I found that it was really not far away.
Jintancheng is worthy of being the most prosperous city in the vicinity, the road is full of traffic, except for the kind of car that can fly, no matter how good the performance of the car can not let go of the speed, can only follow the car in front of the slow walking.
After about half an hour's walk, the machine car passed through the city gate.
Lao Yang made an appointment with them to come and pick them up in the evening, and they got out of the car to do their own business.
Luo Xiaoli said with great interest: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat!"
As she walked, she introduced that there is a food street in Jintan City, which has flavorful snacks from all over the world, and the taste is very authentic, which is a place she must come to every time.
Chang Ming laughed at her: "The fun place you said you brought us here here is here?"
Luo Xiaoli said: "No! It's just a warm-up, you know how to warm up!"
Chang Ming smiled and nodded: "I know, I know, it's easy to do things when I'm full of food and drink!" But I still have some things, you guys go play first, and go back and make an appointment to meet somewhere." ”
Luo Xiaoli looked at him with wide eyes, and found that he was serious, so she let out an "oh" in disappointment and flattened her mouth: "Then let's eat it next time...... Do you recognize the place?"
Chang Ming pointed to his mouth: "I don't know if I'll ask, don't worry!"
As he spoke, he patted Ludding on the shoulder, gave him a meaningful look, and turned away.
Lu Ding was a little inexplicable, and after glancing at Luo Xiaoli, the roots of his ears suddenly turned red. He coughed lightly and said, "Is there anything delicious...... I've said I'm in for a treat, let's go. ”
Luo Xiaoli didn't pay attention to the small movements between the two male compatriots, and said happily: "Okay, then don't care about that guy who has no mouth!"
The two turned their backs with a smile and a smile, and Chang Ming glanced back at them and smiled. He did not go with the two of them, on the one hand, because he saw Luding's thoughts, and left them time alone, and on the other hand, he did have some things of his own to do.
The prosperity of Jintan City is not on the same level as Zihuai City. Of course, it is not only on the banks of the Qinluo River, but also the outlet of the Minling Mountains. If Luding is right, it is also the meeting place of the Bailin and Huangsen districts. Such a city is the place where crisis and opportunity are intertwined.
Chang Ming inquired about passers-by and learned that the city is divided into four districts, a trade area, a residential area, a government affairs area, and a dock area. Chang Ming's destination on this trip was of course the trade area, and following the guidance of passers-by, he quickly found it.
The trade area is next to the dock area, the goods of the Bailin area are transported by empty boat, and the goods of the Huangsen area are traded in the trade area after meeting in the dock area.
There are various forms of transactions in the trade zone, such as wholesale of bulk goods, retail sale of small quantities of goods, auction of rare goods...... The most distinctive thing is the cargo customization service. There are some rare and rare materials that are not normally available, so the Mechanic offers a bounty. This material is generally very expensive, and it is natural for people to risk their lives to collect it.
Chang Ming's purpose in Jintan City was to open his eyes and gain insight, and the scene of the trade zone did make him quite astonishing. A variety of mechanisms are applied to every corner of the city, colorful and dazzling. These mechanisms are full of a strong otherworldly atmosphere, which makes Chang Ming very clearly realize that this is not modern high-tech, but another world - mechanism art!
He looked all the way, what Luo Xiaoli said before may have been just an excuse to pull him out to play, but now it seems that this is very right. If he didn't actually go out for a trip, how could he appreciate the wonder of the trick so clearly. It has many applications, which can be called a whimsical idea, which is an eye-opener for Chang Ming.
However, there was also a reason why Chang Ming had to act separately from Luo Xiaoli when he entered the city, he looked at the situation in the trade area and walked into an auction house called "Happy Meeting".
This auction house is a bit like the usual one in the game, mainly for all kinds of retail investors to make short-term small transactions. The seller entrusts the goods to the auction house, which charges a 10% commission and adds the name and information of the goods to the product list. Buyers can search the product listings to find what they want to buy.
In such an auction house, buying things is a bit of a bit of a chance, and the name "Happy Encounter" seems a bit joyful, but when you think about it, it's quite appropriate.
The auction house is divided into two parts: "consignment auction area" and "goods display area", the former is for sale, the latter is for buying, Chang Ming went directly to the back area.
There are many stereoscopic projection screens in the guild here, and there is a palm-sized upside-down umbrella in front of it, Chang Ming looked left and right, and found that the people next to him were muttering to it, so he also cleared his throat and said clearly: "Perfect accessory." ”
His voice was not loud, but it was not deliberately lowered, and the man standing next to him heard it and turned his head sharply!
