After returning to Karma Taj, Schiller took Oliver for a brief visit here, but Oliver obviously didn't care much. He was not very interested in magic. He believed that it was just a tool, just like science and technology, no matter how good the tool was.
If the person who uses it is not good, then he is still not good.
Schiller really wanted to take Oliver to play around, but now Kamal Taj was short of manpower, and he had to help with the work, so he found students from the magic academy who liked to go out and had fun with their teachers.
After some discussion, we gave them a holiday and asked them to take this country bumpkin from another universe to Sichuan for a tour.
The students immediately cheered. After all, which student doesn't like a vacation, and they can also travel at public expense. Isn't this a good thing?
They immediately arranged the itinerary. Of course, they would first go to Chengdu, then see pandas, Chongqing is also essential, and Jiuzhaigou and other places. Finally, they would go to the Sichuan-Tibet Line to ensure that they would have a lot of fun.
Of course, Schiller also told them to register with the relevant departments after landing. Although he had already greeted the Spear Bureau, Oliver was a shady person in this universe after all, so he still had to be careful when coming in and out.
Oliver thought they were taking a plane, but unexpectedly, several students led him onto the skytrain. He arrived before he could even start to be surprised by the railway flying in the sky.
That's right, they arrived in less than two hours, and it took them an hour and a half just to find a seat and sit down, check in tickets, buy some food, and introduce each other, and they arrived without even getting hot.
As soon as he took off, Oliver immediately felt, "Where did this come from? Is this still the earth?"
Maybe the Chinese people have a love for railways, that is, they are very keen on building railways. When building railways on the ground, they have to encounter mountains and rivers, no matter how difficult it is to build, but now there is no difficulty in the air, and it is even more difficult.
I wish I could just build it all over China and put a lid on it.
However, sky trains are also very particular. They cannot be built on the same plane. Instead, they must be divided into different speeds and uses, and built at different heights. Moreover, the lifting method is more troublesome. It is best to lift goods instead of rails.
Considering the passenger experience, the sky railway cannot be built like a roller coaster, so most of the sky railway tracks are flat and do not rise or fall. Only when transferring, you need to take the elevator up and down in the station.
This means that the platform cannot be a building standing on the ground, because almost no buildings can reach such a height, and it is not safe enough to build it so high. Currently, all sky train platforms in China are floating islands in mid-air.
This makes the sky above the transportation hubs of many big cities really look like a zenith star, with countless sky islands floating overhead and countless tracks and trains surrounding them.
For the sake of operational efficiency, many airports and shuttle platforms are built together with air-rail concentrated areas, which makes it even more lively. The flying height is generally higher than that of air-rails and shuttles, so the three do not interfere with each other.
But when taking off, very complex arrangements are required. They are often close to each other, and there is a sense of order in the chaos.
As soon as he came out of Tianfu Airport, Oliver was dazzled by the sight in front of him. The bus station, taxi stand and parking lot that he usually saw near the airport completely disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a whole place of people coming and going.
In the open space, everyone is looking for the elevator to the Skytrain platform.
Several students pulled Oliver and ran under one of the empty islands. As they got closer, Oliver realized that this was not an empty island, but actually a large floating flying saucer.
And it's just like in those alien movies, where a light beam descends from the middle of the flying saucer and sucks people up. This is what they call an elevator.
If there wasn't any process of passing through the portal, Oliver would have thought that Schiller had sent him to another planet.
In fact, he is now also doubting whether the train he took has some ability to travel through time and space. It doesn't look like it is 20 years later, but a bit like 2000 years later.
While he was still in a daze, he was pushed into the elevator. Oliver didn't feel anything, and found himself in front of a door. He instinctively walked forward, and when he came out, he saw an even more sci-fi scene.
.
A circular hall, half of which is covered by a light-shielding layer, and the other half is slowly opening bright sunlight to project into the hall. Everywhere you look is unfamiliar equipment.
Although he didn't recognize any of the robots running around on the ground or the small airplanes flying in the air that kept talking in Chinese, Oliver knew the pandas.
There are pandas on all the equipment, not far away there are bamboo and panda decorations, and further on there are pandas, pandas and more pandas.
Only now did Oliver realize that this is China, because pandas are synonymous with China.
The students were already chattering and looking at the route signs, but Oliver took out the mobile phone that Schiller gave him. It was a small square on the wrist. It could be called a mobile phone for the time being. A holographic screen could pop up with one press.
.
Oliver searched for news in a hurry, but because he was connected to China's intranet, the results he searched were all in Chinese that he couldn't understand, and the translation was also inaccurate.
Fortunately, Oliver is a native English speaker. Even if the sentences are not fluent, he can still get a general idea. Anyway, it is just some news about building this today and building that tomorrow.
Oliver couldn't figure it out at all. He felt that part of his brain was blocked, so he had to turn to one of the students who was pretty good at English. After the two of them talked for a long time, Oliver realized that this was China, and that history was also related to China.
The history of East Asia he knew was no different.
s??????.???
That is to say, they experienced war around the beginning of the 20th century and have been very poor since then. I heard from the student that until around the millennium, his family was still an ordinary farmer. They farmed with their face to the loess and their back to the sky every day. They only saved energy during the New Year.
Eat meat.
More than ten years have passed for Schiller in both worlds. DC is now in 1998, while Marvel is in 2018. There is exactly a 20-year difference between the two.
The China that Oliver knew was similar to what this student said. It was a stage when most people still had to think about food. What happened in the past 20 years? Did aliens successfully attack the earth?
For a person, twenty years is neither long nor short, but for a country, it is a bit too short. Even the United States, which has a short history, has nothing special in the past 20 years.
Big changes, let alone Europe and the United States.
Oliver felt very confused. This was a big mystery to him, because it was simply impossible. How could it develop like this in just 20 years?
He could say that the rest of the journey was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it. The development here is amazing, the pandas are cute, and the people live a happy life. There is simply nothing wrong with it.
The only problem is that it shouldn't be, it's impossible.
It's not that Oliver has any prejudice against this country, but with his current vision and knowledge base, he can't find any way to take such a path.
In fact, when he was studying Mexico, Oliver discovered that China and Mexico have countless similarities, such as the same long history and long-standing civilization, the same neighbor of a behemoth, the same suffering from historical abuses, and the same ability to rise.
The internal revolution of resistance is also a peasant revolution.
To a certain extent, these two countries are carved from the same mold, but why are their developments so different? What is the difference?
Oliver thought about it but couldn't figure it out.
On the way back, listening to several Chinese students reminiscing about the past, Oliver suddenly realized that for them it was the past, but for him it was now.
In the universe he was in, China had not yet reached the millennium, and it was still the era they said everyone had to worry about for food. Wouldn't it be enough if he just went back and took a look?
It just so happened that he had a good relationship with the Soviet Union in his own universe, and because of the weakening of the Soviet Union, the pressure on China and the Soviet Union to jointly fight against the United States was in the honeymoon period. As long as he followed this path, it was not difficult to go to China.
Oliver made up his mind and ran back through the portal without stopping for even a moment after returning to Karma Taj, as if his butt was on fire.
And Clark and Magneto encountered difficulties at this moment - they had made a name for themselves in the fight, how could they defend it?
Of course, Clark would say that he wanted to farm. Under the strong force of the two of them, the soil did not cause internal strife, and the farming went smoothly, and the people below were fed easily.
Because to put it bluntly, there are only a few people in Mexico. Even if Clark and Magneto don't come, one person can find a wasteland and cultivate a field using the most primitive slash-and-burn method without starving to death. And the most important thing in Mexico is wasteland.
After the most basic problem of food and clothing was solved, both of them were numb and full. What should they do next?
This is a good problem, because once people are full, they start to eat too much and have nothing to do, and then they start to eat too much and look for trouble.
Clark and Magneto wanted to light a fire in the bald eagle's butt, but they didn't want to burn themselves. Seeing that some of these farmers started to drink and gamble, some started to fight for power, and some felt that it was almost time to go back to their wives and children.
The kang was over, so there was no need to stir the shit up at all, the shit was scattered all over the sky, and the two of them were quite helpless.
To put it bluntly, neither of them knows how to build infrastructure. If Magneto knew a little about the Brotherhood of Mutants, he wouldn't be able to wander around for decades, and there would be no resistance to the founding of the nation in the comics, so he would be struggling for a long time.
I haven't seen a decent country being built in several publications, and they all fell apart halfway through.
Clark is even less capable. After all, he is an American. He learned farming through his own eyes and ears on his own farm. It is okay to engage in the farm industry, but it will be a bit difficult for him at the national level.
Just at this time, Oliver had landed in China in his universe and started to go to the grassroots with the Soviet delegation. At that time, China was promoting village-to-village communication, and Oliver was like that traveling frog, constantly sending photos to Clark.
In fact, he didn't want to give Clark guidance. The main reason was that when Clark was here before, he tried his best to send him photos to show off that he had found a place to farm again. So why couldn't he show off when he went back?
Clark took a look and said, yes, they now have food, people and land, so of course they have to send people to connect all these lands together to get good food.
This can not only solve the problem of people having nothing to do, but also open up transportation lines for exchange of goods. It can also strengthen the control of the area and prevent the infiltration of shit sticks. The benefits are huge.
Then what else is there to say? Just copy it and that’s it.
There’s been a lot of chaos at home lately, so updates may be late, sorry.
