Chapter 269 The spread of germs
269
Tang Yue really didn't want to stay in Short Qi for too long. She had originally wanted to get to know the place better, and she had interviewed many of the people on board. They all praised Short Qi. It seemed like a great place.
But Tang Yue felt that if the ship returned, many unexpected things would happen, so she had to leave quickly.
However, she had heard that the shipbuilding and machinery manufacturing industries in Duanqi were very developed. She had just seen quite a few ships at sea, and Tang Yue didn't want to miss any of them. After all, China was in dire need of them.
Tang Yue was stunned by the world before her as they stole out of the harbor. Houses could be built like this, streets like this? And there were so many cars on the roads in Japan.
Tang Yue's eyes sparkled. Without wasting any time, her consciousness extended directly outward, the entire location of the short-distance tactical system in her mind. She saw many people trying to go to the port, but being stopped by uniformed men at the gate. They wore thick masks and heavy clothing.
Tang Yue didn't expect that they would react so quickly.
The capital of Japan has received news that all the people who were secretly brought back from China have died. The specific circumstances have not yet been investigated, but the fact is that everyone is gone.
The Japanese leadership was furious and wanted to take the matter to the international level, so that China would be condemned by public opinion and given an explanation. However, after much reflection, it seemed that they were not in the right at all.
Furthermore, there is no evidence that these people were killed by Chinese. Furthermore, they have planted so many spies in China, which should be condemned in the first place.
So, they were doomed to suffer this loss. This wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was what happened to Shorty. The stench on the ship seemed to be a virus that could penetrate the body directly through breathing and skin, affecting the nerves and causing a rapid death.
When the Emperor and several senior ministers heard the news, they felt that this situation seemed very similar to something else. But they didn't want to think about it. Why would he use such a deadly pathogen on his own people?
The Hatoyama family and the Mitsui family put pressure on their superiors, hoping to know the outcome of the ship as soon as possible.
Tang Yue didn't know this. After all, apart from short bursts, she couldn't detect anything too far away. Furthermore, the wider the range, the more general her detection became. Only when she knew of a specific target could she conduct a detailed investigation.
Now, Tang Yue was strolling through a shipyard. She was crouching beside a master craftsman, watching him install a tiny part. She watched intently, her mind filled with admiration for the Japanese; their crafts were truly meticulous and sophisticated.
Tang Yue was very grateful to these people. As she wandered around the factory, she realized that she had previously felt somewhat unfamiliar with shipbuilding, but through on-site observation, she had gained a great deal of insight. She even felt a bit eager to show off her skills in the ideas she had in mind.
Tang Yue listened to two workers chatting. They were very proud of their latest cruise ship, the Tohnichi Maru. They heard it had already returned from sea trials and was currently at the US military base.
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. So the relationship between the American and Japanese armies was so good? They even gave them a place to station troops. Since the ship was so good, she happily accepted it.
She followed the workers until they left their shift, and soon everyone left. Tang Yue lazily walked through each warehouse. Everywhere she passed was empty, nothing left. Only a few lonely white walls remained.
When Tang Yue received certain materials, she felt a mysterious pull. Unaware of the reason, she separated them from the others.
In addition to those, Tang Yue also collected all the books and handwritten materials of the shipyard's technicians. Taking these back to the old experts for research might yield other benefits.
I heard that all countries have blocked China's technology, which is why China is so constrained. Many of the things they use are made in foreign countries, which are no longer used and would be thrown away as garbage, but are sold to China as good products to make money.
Tang Yue thought that Hao would definitely have to come back. One night, she visited a dozen shipyards, both government-owned and private, large and small. She also visited several machinery manufacturers. She knew that many parts produced by machines now were just as good as those made by hand, and even faster. Unfortunately, China still didn't have them.
Put it back.
Auto parts factories? Yeah, take them all back. Assembled cars? Take them back.
Tang Yue didn't sleep all night, and visited all the factories in Short Qi that were somewhat famous and looked good. After a night, Tang Yue felt that she had consumed a lot of energy. She had stored a lot of food in her space, but she had her eyes on a big hotel here.
Tang Yue felt that this hotel was quite luxurious, and she really wanted to go in and try the food. She had never eaten a single bite of Japanese food in vain.
Tang Yue was small and invisible, so when someone left, she followed them into the hotel. She followed her instincts and headed to the second-floor dining area. Many of the people dining there were carrying suitcases, while others were carrying wooden boxes.
Well, this suitcase looks nice and should be able to hold a lot of things. I wonder where it is made, but she should go and buy it some time.
But there was no rush, Tang Yue turned her attention to the delicious food. However, Tang Yue was small, and she couldn't reach the places where the food was placed, so she couldn't see anything.
Tang Yue......
You can't bully people like that, right? Humph! Is there nothing you can do just because she's small?
Tang Yue used her spiritual power to prop up her feet, instantly rising a considerable height. Well, I have to say, the view from this height is truly expansive. Tang Yue picked out a number of dishes that she thought were good, placed them on a plate, and then carried them to a table in the corner.
"Yuko, are you sure you want to leave so quickly? We haven't finished interviewing the Wuling family yet. We should go over there again today to take some photos."
"Masao, I..."
Yuko looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she lowered her voice and said, "Masao, let's go quickly. I feel like if we don't leave today, we might not be able to leave tomorrow."
"Why?"
Masao still looked puzzled.
Yuko had no choice but to say, "Last night when we were coming back from our interview, I heard on the way that something happened at a port in Nakajima. It was a big deal, and it seemed like there was a plague."
"What?"
Masao stood up excitedly. Yuko looked at the people around her embarrassedly and quickly pulled Masao up.
Masao nodded sheepishly, then lowered his voice and asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"
Yuko tilted her chin towards the people holding the suitcases. "Look, we're probably not the only ones who heard this news. This happened at the port, and there's no guarantee it'll spread here. We need to leave quickly."
Masao thought it made perfect sense. "Okay, let's eat quickly and leave right after we're done."
Tang Yue was very satisfied listening to the conversation between the two. Well, they had a strong sense of crisis. She could also see how effective Takahashi's medicine was.
But things did not go as smoothly as Yuko and the others imagined, and they were unable to leave Tanchi because the hotel was blocked.
Many people came forward to argue, but the official response was that it was a routine inspection. No one could leave Duanqi until the inspection was completed.
Tang Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. What exactly did this mean? Did they know something was missing from the factory, or was it that the disease was spreading too quickly?
Tang Yue wondered if she should get some of that air and study it slowly. But she didn't know much about chemistry, so she might as well not bother.
Since no one could see her anyway, Tang Yue flew out of the window on the second floor of the hotel restaurant. She decided to go somewhere else to listen to the news here. She had more important things to do now.
The train is definitely not an option, so it seems the only option is to take the sea route.
Tang Yue went in the opposite direction of Zhongdao. When she arrived at an empty beach, she narrowed her eyes slightly. She seemed to have seen this person before.
