Alexander got off the train with excitement and nervousness and set foot in this dreamland.
This is Da Qi, the place he longs for.
From the day he was born, his family told him that Da Qi was a paradise, where there was endless wealth and the most advanced knowledge. Here, as long as you work hard, you will reap rewards.
He first took a boat and landed in Quanzhou, then took a train and arrived here after a day and a night.
It was a wonderful journey, during which he saw many things that he could not see in his hometown.
The people here are hospitable and well-spoken. Even an old farmer has his own profound views on the international situation.
Here, he saw the hustle and bustle of traffic, the flashing neon lights, and all kinds of beauty.
Now he has finally arrived at the center of all this beauty, the capital of Da Qi.
As soon as he got off the train, he seemed to be able to smell the sweetness in the air.
He couldn't smell that kind of fresh air in his hometown.
Today, his hometown is filled with various factories. A heavy fog some time ago claimed the lives of hundreds of people.
In Da Qi, he seemed to smell the fragrance in the air, which was really wonderful.
Walking on the street, there are a wide variety of goods on both sides and cars of all colors on the road.
Everything here showed him two words - prosperity!
"I heard that this year's fighting competition has been postponed. I heard that the contestant from Europe was delayed on the way. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not. This year's champion must be Hu Fei!"
"Master Sun is going to perform at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in two weeks. I heard the tickets are already going through the roof. If anyone can get me a ticket, I'll give them a kidney."
"Damn it! I didn't get the new perfume, and I couldn't even get my hands on the handbag. How am I going to explain this to my fiancée?"
Listening to all kinds of information, Alexander's mood became better and better.
He discovered the difference between Da Qi and his own country. Everything here was full of hope.
After walking for a long time with the map, he finally arrived at the post office. He wanted to send a telegram to his family to tell them that he had arrived safely.
While waiting for the delivery, Alexander found that many people were gathered in front of a counter, waiting to handle business.
Curious, he asked the person next to him, "Excuse me, what kind of business do these people want to handle?"
"They're all waiting for their phones to be installed, just waiting to pick a good number."
"Phone? What is a phone?" Alexander asked in confusion.
The person explaining it to him looked him up and down before saying, "You've just arrived in Da Qi, haven't you? Then I have something to tell you. The telephone was just invented by the Imperial Master. It's said that even if two people are thousands of miles apart, they can still communicate through it. Isn't that amazing?"
Alexander looked at the person in front of him in shock, and said in a distorted voice: "How is this possible!"
"Hehe, I knew you thought it was impossible. Actually, I thought it was impossible too, but that's how it is. The Imperial Master said that electricity could produce continuous and stable light, but you didn't believe it, and then we had electric lights. The Imperial Master said that electricity could be used to write letters, but you didn't believe it, and then we had the telegraph."
"Now the Imperial Master says that electricity can be used to make calls. You don't believe it, but now public institutions are already using this thing."
After sending the telegram, Alexander walked out of the post office in a daze, and then came to the Imperial College to register in a daze.
Just as he was filling in the relevant information, a black box in front of him suddenly made a sound, which scared him.
Seeing this, the people around him smiled kindly. A teacher nearby explained to him, "Don't be nervous. This thing is called a radio. It's used to listen to the radio."
"Is there... a person living in here?" Alexander was shocked.
After the teacher's explanation, Alexander finally knew what this thing was, and then he was even more shocked.
Meanwhile, the radio continued to broadcast.
"Iwami Ginzan is expected to continue mining for another ten years, and the Japanese government has indicated it wants to further develop fisheries and timber exports."
"The Emperor of Gaul and His Excellency Zheng Zuyuan, the Governor of Europe from the Qi faction, held a cordial and friendly conversation at the Palace of Versailles. They fully exchanged views and reached a certain consensus. Both sides expressed their intention to further increase trade between the two regions and to allow more Gallic students to study there."
"The Fuso branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' School of Medicine stated that several new drugs have already undergone human trials and will soon be available for the benefit of the public."
"The regional leaders agreed to make Australia a new open-air prison."
"Domestic human rights organizations strongly condemn the slave trade by certain European nobles, and claim that some Da Qi nobles are also involved. We will continue to follow up on this report for you."
"The first aircraft developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences will make its maiden flight the day after tomorrow afternoon, and the Grand Master will be in attendance."
Hearing this, Alexander suddenly came to his senses. He excitedly grabbed the people around him and asked, "How can I participate in this maiden flight?"
The person next to him looked at him like an idiot and said, "What are you thinking? This is the most cutting-edge technology of our Great Qi. How could we possibly let you see it?"
"Master Lu is my idol. I dream of meeting him once. Besides, didn't Master Lu say that science has no borders?"
"Hahaha, Master Lu did say that science has no borders, but he also said that scientists do have borders!"
