Chapter 128 Orange Isle
Upon arriving at Yongzheng Commune, Gu Yiye took Lin Shanshan to eat Niu Longzi's beef noodles.
After returning to Haishi this time, Lin Shanshan didn't know when she would be able to go back to Anfeng Brigade. She also liked to eat rice noodles, so she ate until she was completely full.
After Gu Yiye helped Lin Shanshan into the car, he was about to start the engine when a clear female voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Gu, it really is you."
Lin Shanshan was sitting in the passenger seat when she saw a pretty girl with delicate features walking towards her with a smile.
Lin Shanshan asked, "Brother Gu, who is she?"
Gu Yiye said, "Tang Hong."
At this moment, the morning light shone like a spotlight on Lin Shanshan's face, revealing her fair and radiant skin without a single flaw, and her lively fox-like eyes sparkling.
Tang Hong suddenly stopped in her tracks, lowering her head in shame. She thought to herself, "Brother Gu's lover is so beautiful, so beautiful that I dare not look directly at her. If I were a man, I would definitely pursue her."
When Lin Shanshan saw the girl lower her head, she thought she was embarrassed because she had seen Gu Yiye, but in reality, it was because she had almost turned Tang Hong gay.
Seeing that Tang Hong didn't speak, Gu Yiye didn't reply either. As a married man, keeping a distance from all women is the most basic male virtue.
He started the car and drove past Tang Hong.
Lin Shanshan pouted, her lips reddened from the spiciness of the beef noodles, and said, "You're quite the ladies' man."
Gu Yiye cried out, "Madam, I'm innocent! Look, I didn't even speak to her!"
Lin Shanshan snorted and said, "You're not allowed to say that again."
"Yes, ma'am."
On the way back to Haishi, we would have to pass through Xingcheng. Lin Shanshan said, "Brother Gu, shall we go and take a look at Orange Isle?"
Gu Yiye readily agreed, smiling, "Alright, let's have a picnic there at noon. I'll make you some grilled fish."
The Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu wrote about Orange Isle: "The people of Peach Blossom Spring have changed their system, but the fields of Orange Isle are still fertile."
Lin Shanshan got out of the car and said, "It's not late autumn now, otherwise we could see the beautiful scenery of mountains covered in red."
Gu Yiye said, "It's good to come now; it feels so cool here."
Orange Isle, as the old saying goes, "In May and June there is no heat, and in the second or third watch of the night there are fishermen's songs." Now it is June, summer, and Orange Isle is not hot at all, but refreshing and pleasant.
Lin Shanshan said, "Brother Gu, look at Orange Isle, doesn't it look like an aircraft carrier?"
Gu Yiye asked, "Aircraft carrier? Honey, you mean an aircraft carrier?"
"Um!"
Gu Yiye sighed and said, "When I was in the army, I heard that some countries already had them, but China hadn't built one yet. They said that aircraft carriers are a symbol of a powerful country."
Lin Shanshan asked, "If I said I could build an aircraft carrier, would you think I was bragging?"
Gu Yiye's eyes widened as he grasped Lin Shanshan's hands and asked excitedly, "Wife, are you telling the truth?"
Lin Shanshan nodded calmly and said, "I didn't waste my time reading books in the underworld for over 17,000 years. Of course I can."
"I have a lot of knowledge in various fields. In addition to weapons, I am also proficient in medicine, construction and other industries. In those years, besides studying, I also practiced with my hands."
"My plan is that the first step is to invent 5G."
Gu Yiye didn't understand and asked, "What? Martial arts?"
Lin Shanshan explained: "The 5 in 12345, G is short for Generation Mobile Communication Technology, which means fifth-generation mobile communication devices."
"I'm skipping generations 1, 2, 3, and 4 and going straight into the 5G era, which will accelerate China's industrial upgrading and economic development."
"Let the Chinese people be the first to use a smartphone, not some old-fashioned mobile phone."
Gu Yiye asked, "A cell phone?"
Lin Shanshan explained simply: "It's a mobile phone, you can make and receive calls anytime. It's a phone you carry with you."
In modern China, landlines are extremely rare. If others heard Lin Shanshan say something like that, it would be like hearing a fairy tale.
They would definitely think she's dreaming, that she's gone mad.
However, Gu Yiye unconditionally trusted his wife, and he said with anticipation, "On that day, our China will truly be a world power!"
Don't think it's an exaggeration. The beginning states that the female protagonist spent 17,000 years in the underworld, so it's entirely possible for her to learn these things over such a long period. It's much more plausible than some novels that use a little spiritual spring or a small pill to bring the seriously injured, sick, or disabled back to life.
I don't like writing about unwarranted plot devices; everything has its logic.
If you think this is exaggerated, you can search for Leonardo da Vinci. He was a polymath, skilled in painting, invention, engineering, architecture, astronomy, physics, mathematics, biology, and more. There's also Nobel, who obtained 355 patents in his lifetime. Therefore, the characters I've created can all be found in reality.
Of course, I know this is a romance novel, and the technological invention is just a plot device; the main storyline is sweet romance, and there's also an adorable baby later on. Anyway, I will do my best to make this novel more layered and exciting. Thank you everyone.
