Chapter 996 Tongyu Shu Tianyuan
As soon as Feng Heshou finished his applause, two waiters brought out a set of multi-faceted screens with paper partitions on them, covering one side of the corridor from beginning to end, leaving only an aisle for people to pass through.
After a while, some rustling sounds were heard, as if someone was dragging clothes in.
Then a light came on inside the screen, and a short-beat drumbeat was heard. The figure of a graceful woman appeared on it, with slender arms and long fingers, a straight neck and a soft waist, posing a very tense and still posture.
After a while, the drum beats started again, and with the rhythm, the woman began to dance in various graceful and moving poses.
At first, the movements were very slow and graceful, but later, as the drum beats gradually accelerated, they became faster and faster. The person was spinning there motionlessly, and his body movements became more and more muscular and strong.
This fast-paced song lasted for three or four minutes. The woman's movements did not repeat themselves during the whole process, and they changed rapidly. At the end, she gradually slowed down and stopped with a heavy beat, and her movements stopped there.
Then the lights dimmed and they retreated. Although they did not show up, they left behind endless imagination.
Chen Chuan watched calmly. As a fighter, even if he deliberately avoided looking at the real figure behind the paper screen, he could tell from the rhythm of the body movements that the person dancing was not actually a woman.
If his guess was correct, this was a creature from the fusion land, a kind of alien "beautiful snake" with human arms. He had seen this creature in some atlases, and its appearance was enough to terrify normal people.
However, these creatures can communicate with humans, and when their shadows are reflected on certain walls, they can look almost like real women. It's said that in the old imperial court, someone staged a "Thousand Snake Dance," which later spread overseas. This dance must be of this kind. However, the manpower and resources of the old dynasty were far beyond the reach of the Langtao Pavilion alone.
Although he saw through it, he didn't point it out because it would ruin the atmosphere.
After the dance was over, the screen was removed, and then a shelf was erected in the corridor and covered with a curtain. Then a pair of people dressed in ancient foreign Taoist costumes came up. They wore tall hats, thick and heavy clothes that hung to the ground, and their faces were painted red.
The two stood under the shelf, bowed to the seat first, sang loudly together, twirled their bodies, and danced to the beat. There was a lot of rhythmic beauty in their singing, and their voices were unexpectedly pleasant to the ears. The male voice was deep and magnetic, while the female voice was clear and melodious.
If it were just this, there wouldn't be anything special about it.
But in fact, these two people are actually two life-size puppets, pulled by strings hanging from above, making all kinds of clever movements, and the singing actually comes from the birds hidden in their hats.
Chen Chuan had also heard of this bird. In ancient times, the palace also domesticated a kind of eagle-bird with a clever tongue. This kind of bird could often live for hundreds of years and could imitate the tone and intonation of certain people in the past very vividly. For example, it could imitate the conversation between people in the past and people today and could explain the ancient thoughts.
These two eagle birds seem to have imitated the tones of some famous singers, which is why their voices are so melodious.
If you only look at the surface of such a performance, it's just an ordinary song and dance, nothing special. But if you can discover what's hidden within, you can gradually unravel it, constantly discovering and digging into its inner wonders. It can be considered a relatively profound form of expression, requiring a keen eye and a relatively refined level of appreciation to fully appreciate it.
He knew the origins of some of the things, but he was sure that the art of singing and dancing itself had its own merits, but he didn't understand them either, so there were many things he couldn't understand.
It doesn't matter. Although the performance is good, he feels that the aesthetic is a little bit eerie.
And then she appeared in several other programs, which were also very profound and exquisite. I can't say they were bad, but I always felt that they lacked a bit of vitality.
Fortunately, some of the programs on the venue screen are relatively acceptable. They are all passionate and unrestrained indigenous songs, dances and carnivals. Although this season is not a tourist season and there are relatively few people, the population of the Anying Islands itself is still relatively large. Now gathered together, it seems extremely lively.
At the same time, most of the senior officials from the government offices of the two central cities were waiting in front of the field screen, awaiting the moment of field connection.
In fact, it is not just them. At this moment, all the central cities of Dashun, all the factions, all the fighting schools, including the Central Supreme Executive Office, and even some countries in the world are also paying attention to this place.
Time moved forward unswervingly, and under the anticipation of countless people, it finally arrived at midnight on the 22nd.
The last few field signal relay stations were added to the field connection, and all the enhanced signal equipment and auxiliary creatures were also fully turned on. At this moment, the field belt on the information channel became active and expanded outward with unprecedented momentum.
Above the two central city squares, there stood huge field screens. After a jump, two images from each other appeared.
It was a bird's-eye view of the two central cities. At that moment, all the audience waiting below and the people in front of the screen were attracted by the scene above.
The voice-over began to introduce themselves to the people in the central cities on both sides, and greeted the people in the opposite central city on their own behalf, which immediately triggered cheers and applause.
After the brief greetings, Qi Weizhao, the Chief Political Officer of the Central City of Jibei Province, and Su Shangrong, the Chief Political Officer of the Central City of Haidong Province, appeared on the screen at the same time. They saluted each other and expressed their sincere wishes for each other's central cities. At the same time, they announced that the two places could have real-time information communication from today, and the skyline was officially established.
The moment the two finished speaking, the crowd erupted in warm cheers, and clusters of brilliant fireworks bloomed over the square, interweaving with the neon lights and shadows, as if lighting up the entire sky in an instant.
After the two secretaries finished their speeches, a spokesperson for the Government Affairs Department came out to explain the specific allocation and implementation plan for the skyline.
Skyline resources will be prioritized for use by government departments and major national enterprises, then gradually opened up to local and international businesses, and ultimately to the general public. This process will take approximately three to six months to complete in the two central cities.
Due to the current limited resources, anyone who requests to use the system needs to apply in advance. Of course, those companies that invest in advance and are optimistic about the connection between the two places are allocated some communication rights, such as Fusion Boundary Company.
Among them, big companies such as Canglong Company and Ocean Development Group naturally got the biggest piece of the pie. There are a lot of resources and land overseas waiting to be opened up, and Jibei Road Central City can provide various technical support.
After the two places are connected, all transit stations and surrounding islands along the way will benefit from it, and a huge radiation belt will be formed around the information channel, gradually spreading to the surrounding counties and towns and various islands on both sides;
In the next step, all lower-level administrative regions of the two provinces will be included, which will enable deep integration of the two places in terms of administration, military and economy, and the benefits it will bring are immeasurable.
However, from the 22nd to tomorrow morning, information resources will be fully open for one day, and citizens of both places can enjoy real-time information exchange.
Chen Chuan watched the entire show in the Langtao Pavilion. After the venue was announced to be connected, he tried it himself. He then had a brief exchange with several members of the security decision-making team and colleagues from the Defense Department on Erwen Island, and also reported his safety to his aunt's family.
After that, he did not occupy the resources anymore, but stayed here with Feng Heshou, sipping sweet dew and enjoying the singing and dancing performances of Haidong Dao.
Of course, he was not completely relaxed. He was still paying attention to news from all sides. If there were any excessive forces coming out to engage in sabotage activities at this time, he would go there in time to deal with it. After all, the outer ocean was not like Jibei Road. Anyone could come to the vast sea area, and it was more difficult to defend. The enemies within Dashun had been suppressed, but it was hard to know whether some foreign forces would have any unusual movements.
Fortunately, after achieving comprehensive information communication, even if someone tries to sabotage it, it will be impossible to stop the real advancement of the skyline.
The celebration did not stop until almost dawn. It was not that there were no unusual movements during this period, but the two centers had made sufficient security preparations. As long as they did not encounter excessive forces, they were able to cope with it.
At this time, the fire in the corridor was also extinguished, leaving only wisps of green smoke.
Looking through the open porch door, the snow was still outside, but the clear and joyful sound of birds could be heard.
Chen Chuan stood up at this time and walked out. The waiter outside immediately opened the curtain above to block the snow.
He walked to the front of the steps, looking across the high courtyard to the distant sea and the first rays of dawn on the sea.
Chaoming was just crawling out of its warm nest on a crimson flower tree in the courtyard. It shook its feathers because it had eaten a lot of good food that night. It chirped towards the light on the sea, and the sound was very distant and loud.
Feng Heshou also came out at this time and stood beside him.
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Thank you, Master Fenghe, for your hospitality yesterday. The two skylines have officially been connected, and it's time for me to go back."
Feng Heshou knew that he had important matters to attend to, so he bowed slightly and said, "Director Chen, if you come to Erwen Island again next time, just let me know. I will be waiting for you at any time."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly and said, "Master Fenghe, goodbye."
He reached out and picked up the Xuejun Sword from the knife rack on the side, then walked down the courtyard steps. After a few steps, he arrived at the bottom, looked up, and with the support of the force field, his body slowly floated up.
Then a platinum-colored light flashed and shot into the distant sky. Chao Ming also let out a cry, jumped up from the tree, flapped its wings into the air, and quickly followed. Soon, they were one after another immersed in the sea and sky dyed with morning light.
