Chapter 8 Shangdu

However, this trip is a bit weird, the street lights are very few, it seems that there is only a guiding role rather than lighting, the road on both sides is very wide, so wide that you can't see the street on the other side clearly, and the main reason for the widening is that in addition to Lin Zhe and his party, there is not a single car on such a wide road, and every distance traveled, there are people standing on both sides of the middle of the road, saluting the vehicle.

The helicopter above also kept following, but the silence in the car was very good, and at a bend in the corner, I saw the lights of the two planes from the window.

After being silent for a while, the middle-aged man smiled again and said, "What about you young people, I don't know much, you just arrived in Dadu, you may not be familiar with it, what do you need, just tell Xiaoting." ”

"Xiaoting?"

"My granddaughter, one year younger than you, is a sophomore in high school this year, you can talk about how you developed the lithography machine, so that she can study hard."

"How do you learn this...... Alas? Lin Zhe noticed that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "One year younger, second year of high school?" ”

"Yes."

"How old am I?"

Middle-aged man: "......"

Lin Zhe: "......"

The two fell silent at the same time, making the atmosphere in the car a little weird for a while.

After being quiet for more than twenty minutes, the middle-aged man raised his hand.

The windows slowly dropped.

Lin Zhe was originally in a daze with his hair down, but after finding that the surroundings were much brighter, he came back to his senses and raised his head.

And the scenery outside the window made him stunned for a while.

The whole city was shrouded in the starry sky, and the Milky Way was clearly visible, making Lin Zhe wonder if he was driving in the city, and the following convoy seemed to be relatively stationary, quietly obeying, passing over the arched marble bridge, and on the other side of the bridge, reflected in the wide river, there was a building like a crystal palace, stretching over the entire bank.

"Rest here for the night?"

"I'm ...... OK. ”

"Okay, Xiao Wang, then let's park here."

After parking, the middle-aged man regained his grip on Lin Zhe's hand and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhang Shihao, I'm here, we'll see you tomorrow morning, if you need to remember to contact Xiaoting, she should already be waiting for you." ”

"Okay, okay, you're busy."

After the other party got out of the car, Lin Zhe was still stunned, and after the vehicle slowly drove again, Lin Zhe turned his head and looked out the window with bated breath.

Lin Zhe thinks that he is by no means a person who loves vanity, or that he has never been interested in similar things.

But the palace in front of me, which seemed to be a dream, was really shocking.

Visually measuring the height of 100 meters, but it seems to be only divided into nine floors, covering an area that seems to stretch the entire riverbank, and there is no end in sight, the outside of the wall seems to be inlaid with a layer of crystal clear, and the building of the inner body looms under the crystal, exuding a red-gold light, and at the same time, the details of the structure have the subtle and introverted like a Chinese-style courtyard, and the overall design is as magnificent and luxurious as a Western-style church.

After crossing the bridge, Lin Zhe felt that he had underestimated its height, because he was now craned his neck and could no longer see the top floor of this palace.

The convoy slowly stopped, and a small hand gently stretched over and opened the door for Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe looked at the girl in front of him and was stunned: "You are ...... Xiaoting? ”

"Xiaoting? Xiaoting is sick today," the girl explained with a smile: "So I'm here to substitute for the class, you can call me Lele, hello." ”

When she wanted to take Lin Zhe's men to get out of the car, Lin Zhe subconsciously avoided her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine."

"Shall we go in first, then?"

"Good ......" Lin Zhe's voice became a little restrained.

Lele took two steps back, gently covered his chest with his right hand, and waited until Lin Zhe got out of the car, and stood beside him to lead the way.

Lin Zhe looked at it slightly.

Lele had a black ornament like a bow on his head, which was shoulder-length, but the hair on both sides of his ears was in bundles, and the bangs on his forehead were sticking to his forehead because they were a little wet. The small facial features are delicate and smart, and she wears a very light pink lipstick.

And the pale black, slightly transparent little dress at the shoulders made her delicate skin like warm jade, slightly ruddy under the reflection of the red and golden lights of the palace, coupled with the pair of straight and slender calves, the whole person looked like an immature green little swan.

If Lin Zhe met such a girl before the crossing, there was a high probability that he would not bother to look at it, after all, this kind of existence could not have anything to do with him, and he didn't want to make trouble.

"Shall we rest in this place?" Lin Zhe asked with some hesitation.

He still didn't feel any reality, just like an old man who got off the plane before and was warmly welcomed, so he suspected that the middle-aged man's place to rest was a small hotel next to a palace.

Actually, the small hotel is also good.

"If you take a break, there are ten floors here, and you can choose between six and ten." Lele introduced.

"You can see the starry sky from the top floor."

"But I'd recommend eight floors."

"Tomorrow's meeting is on the second floor."

"I can ...... if you still need it"

Lin Zhi was directly frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll do it myself." ”

β€”β€”

In Shangdu, there is a simple classroom with no projectors, no computers, and it is even difficult to find any modern equipment here. There were just cracked blackboards, a few dated tables, crumbling stools, chalk heads, and data and formulas that crowded the blackboard.

An old man was standing in front of the podium, dressed in a badly worn gray tunic, with a tall and burly body standing straight, stepping on a pair of cloth shoes with a patch, his hair was gray but extremely thick, and he was thinking about something with chalk in his hand.

After a few moments, he turned around, and the occasional sizzling light bulb from a short circuit was accompanied by the sound of his chalk falling heavily on the blackboard.

"Teacherβ€”"

The figure standing outside the door for a long time did not interrupt him, and after a few more minutes of writing, the old man turned around, glared at his students outside the door, and asked with a little anger, "What are you doing?" ”

"I heard you're resting here......"

"I'm in class." The old man threw away the chalk head in his hand, sat down on a creaking chair next to the podium, picked up a weather-beaten enamel cup, and took a slow sip before continuing to ask, "What's the matter?" ”

"Zhang Shihao can't attend the seminar."

"Who is Zhang Shihao?"

"It's the guy who claims to have developed the lithography machine."

"Oh...... That lithography machine, hehehe. The old man's expression softened, and after smiling, he asked, "Why can't you participate?" Is it too late? ”

"He was cut off, I don't know what's going on, our plane landed in Dadu."

"Hmm......" After hearing the word Dadu, the old man slowly put down his cup, turned his head to stare at his student and said, "So what's going on?" ”

"This," the student said after a few dry coughs, "didn't you say that priority equipment was preferred?" ”

"Well," the old man nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Priority, priority is priority, since the equipment has arrived, people should also arrive, we do scientific research, we must be rigorous, this kind of thing, do you still want me to instruct?" ”

"But he's in Dadu now, unless he comes to Kyoto, ......"

The old man waved his hand and said, "It's not so troublesome, he can't come, can't we go?" ”

"Ah...... Okay, I see. ”

After the student left, the old man turned around and looked at the dense formulas on the blackboard, and his index finger began to tap on the table subconsciously, and the sound became louder and louder, until finally he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and sighed and walked outside.

"A person who is engaged in economics and robs us of scientific research...... It was even snatched away. ”

"Alas, these kids can't just engage in technology."
