11 Sakie's Multiple Coincidences 04
Seeing that Yang Yi's face quickly turned red with embarrassment, Huggins had a good impression of this student who looked sunny and handsome at first, and who seemed a little shy after getting along for a while, so he smiled and said, "You can work hard, but don't be like me and make a bald head." Do you know what a bald head is called in colloquial American?"
"I know. Yang Yi was happy, and Hutchinson said, "Bald!"
The two laughed at each other, and Hutchinson humorously said: "You can be smart, but don't be overwhelming." Believe me, few people can grasp the allure of baldness, especially women. Oh, yes, my wife, your wife, she hates my baldness.Chinese Let me remind you, don't forget the growth characteristics of your Semitic race, you are more susceptible to baldness than the average Oriental! If you are unlucky, you will lose the top of your head before you are forty years old, forming a vast Mediterranean Sea. ”
Yang Yi Da Lu smiled: "Xie Lu Xie Mentor reminds me that I will work hard to maintain it." Don't forget, I still have Oriental ancestry, and Oriental people have always led the world in fixed teeth and hair preservation. ”
Huggins smiled, paced behind his back, and leaned over to examine a girl's anatomical sketch. Yang Yi was fascinated by the magical coincidence of the map of Qijiang and continued to study it with great interest.
The eye searched the map endlessly, trying to find more strange and interesting coincidences.
At this time, the bell rang for the end of class, and the students got up and left the classroom. There is a long break after the second class, you can take advantage of this time to make up some energy, eat something or something, young students grow and develop very quickly, and the speed of digesting food is also fast, almost everyone uses this time to eat something is inevitable.
"Hey, buddy!" Ji Lianyun slapped Yang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Don't you go to eat something?"
Yang Yi smiled: "No." Go ahead, I'm not hungry. "The fact is that Yang Yi is shy in his pockets and has no extra money to support this kind of extra meal between classes.
Ji Lianyun's eyes glanced at Yang Yi's slightly faded sports shirt, and said understandingly: "The commissary outside is good, and of course the one outside the school gate is even better, a fried chicken leg is only three yuan and five." I said Yang Yi, when we meet for the first time today, I have a treat, how about making friends?"
Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "No, Xie Lu thanks." Belch...... It's not about making friends, you don't get it wrong. ”
Ji Lianyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Understand! Don't have a chicken intestine and a small belly, it's just decided, do you want it to be spicy or not?" This sentence is quite artistic, whether the answer is spicy or not, you have to choose one of the two to accept one.
"Huh?" Yang Yi froze.
"Then I'll bring you a spicy one. Hah!" the man laughed.
Yang Yi smiled and shook his head, Ji Lianyun is a very good person, and he is very enthusiastic about treating people. It's only the first day, and I made a friend, which seems to be really good, and it is really a wise choice to return to Qijiang from the quirky Xitan in Guli. Yang Yi was in a good mood, and left his seat with a smile and stood in front of the podium to look at the map.
After looking at it for a while, Yang Yi's eyes fell on the railway line that ran through the entire urban area. At a cursory glance, they don't seem to be conspicuous, but I don't know what the road is, Yang Yi's eyes are attracted to it, and he can't stop looking at it again.
There are five railway lines, which are at angles to each other and are laid out on the map in a seemingly regular way. They are inconspicuous on satellite maps and city maps, and they can be missed if you don't pay attention. Yang Yi tilted his head left and right to look at them for a long time, but still didn't see any pattern between them.
Hutchinson packed up his other things and was about to pack up the map, when he saw that Yang Yi was still reading, and asked with a smile: "Still researching?"
"Hmm. Yang Yi nodded: "Quite interesting and fascinating." ”
"Eager to learn students. In this way, the map will be sent to you, and we will share what we have learned from research. However, the next two philosophy classes are about to begin, and the philosophy teacher Sun Jingqin is not like me......"
Yang Yi quickly picked up the conversation: "Flexible?"
"Yes, flexible, I like that word. She...... Well, more rigorous, a rigorous scholar. Huggins said euphemistically.
It's old-fashioned. Yang Yi chuckled, suddenly pointed to the railway line and asked, "Professor Huggins, what is this?"
Hutchinson tucked his bag under his arm, looked at it, and said, "Railroad line." ”
"What's the name?"
"Think about it. Yes...... It should have been first built in 1998. ”
In 1998, Yang Yi's heart moved, which coincided with the third expansion of St. Hubble's Cathedral. Another coincidence?
In his ear, Huggins was still saying: "These railways were built by the French, and if I remember correctly, 1998 happened to be the year when Qijiang City introduced a large amount of foreign capital and achieved a major economic take-off. After the French invested here, they built these railways and used them as special lines. Does the special line know the road? It refers to the line that is generally used for special purposes in factories and mining enterprises. For example, many large steel mills have money routes for this purpose. ”
Yang Yi frowned and asked, "Then why can't you see it on the traffic route map?"
Huggins explained: "Because this is a meter gauge, the width is the same as the width that the French built in Yunnan Province, only one meter wide. The other normal railways in Sakie are all 1.435 meters wide. These railways were actually abandoned as early as early 2002, so it doesn't make sense to put them on the map. Because it is strictly independent of the urban transportation system, it is normal to not see it on the traffic map, but it can still be seen on the city map and satellite map. Both ways express more detail. ”
Yang Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you deliberately build a meter gauge? The international community is merging with each other, and in 1998 it was not very interesting to build a total of five tracks that could not be compared with normal rails?"
Huggins groaned, stroked his chin and said, "It does make sense." The modern railroad tracks in France are already standard rails, so why did you deliberately build such lines in 1998 that could not be connected with the standard rails? The French are romantic by nature, but they are not stupid. It costs a lot of money to build a railway, and it is not in line with the conventional principle to build a railway track like a meter gauge, which should actually be said to be a dead end. ”
"Unless......" A very ridiculous thought crossed Yang Yi's mind: "They don't want to be connected to standard rails. Or maybe they did it to avoid conforming to the standard. ”
