Chapter 2662 Mayfly World (Thirty-Six)

Chapter 2636 Mayfly World (Thirty-Six)

After returning to Kamar-Taj, Schiller led Oliver to a brief tour of the place, but Oliver obviously didn't care much. He was not very interested in magic and thought that it was just a tool like science and technology, but no matter how good the tool was, it would still be useless if the person using it was not good enough.

Schiller really wanted to take Oliver out for a tour, but Kamar-Taj was short of staff and he had to help with the work, so he found students in the magic academy who liked to go out and play, and discussed with their teachers to give them a holiday, so that they could take this bumpkin from another universe to Sichuan for a tour.

The students cheered immediately. After all, which student doesn't like a holiday? And they can also travel at public expense. Isn't this a good thing that falls from the sky?

They immediately arranged the itinerary. Of course, they had to go to Chengdu first, then go to see pandas, Chongqing was also indispensable, and there were Jiuzhaigou and other places, and finally take a trip to the Sichuan-Tibet line to ensure that they could have fun.

Of course, Schiller also told them to register with the relevant departments after landing. Although he had already informed the S.H.I.E., Oliver was an illegal resident in this universe after all, so he had to be careful when entering and leaving.

Oliver thought they were going to take a plane, but he didn't expect that several students took him to the sky train. He arrived before he even started 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 to find a seat, check tickets, buy some food, and introduce each other. They arrived before their butts were even warm.

As soon as they got on the sky train, Oliver had a feeling, what did this do to me? Is this still the earth?

Maybe the Chinese have a railway complex, that is, they are very keen on building railways. When building railways on the ground, they would cut through mountains and split water, and they would build them no matter how difficult it was. Now that there are no difficulties in the air, they can't wait to build a full roof over China and cover it directly.

However, there are also some requirements for air rail. It cannot be built on the same plane, but must be divided into different speeds and uses, and built at different heights. Moreover, the lifting method is more complicated. It is best to lift cargo rather than rail.

Considering the experience of passengers, the air railway cannot be built like a roller coaster, so most of the air rail tracks are straight without rising and falling. It is only necessary to take the elevator up and down in the station when transferring.

This means that the platform cannot be a building standing on the ground, because almost no building can reach such a height, and it is not safe to build so high. At present, all air rail platforms in China are floating islands in the air.

This makes the sky above the transportation hubs of many large cities really like the stars in the sky, with countless islands floating overhead and countless tracks and trains surrounding them.

For the sake of operational efficiency, many airports and shuttle platforms have also been built together with air rail concentrated areas, which is even more lively. The flight height is generally higher than that of airplanes and higher than that of air rails. The three do not interfere with each other, but very complex scheduling is required when taking off. They are often adjacent to each other, and there is a sense of order in chaos.

As soon as he came out of Tianfu Airport, Oliver was dazzled by the scene in front of him. The bus station, taxi stand and parking lot that he usually saw near the airport completely disappeared. What appeared in front of him was a whole open space with people coming and going, and everyone was looking for the elevator to the skytrain platform.

Several students pulled Oliver to run under one of the empty islands. When he got closer, Oliver realized that this was not an empty island, but a large floating flying saucer.

And just like those alien movies, a beam of light descended from the middle of the flying saucer and sucked people up. This is what they call an elevator.

If there was no process of passing through the portal, Oliver would have thought that Schiller had sent him to another planet.

In fact, he is now also wondering whether the train he took has any function of traveling through time and space. This does not look like 20 years later, but a bit like 2000 years later.

When he was still at a loss, he was pushed into the elevator. Oliver didn't feel anything, and found himself in front of a door. He instinctively walked forward and saw a more sci-fi scene when he came out.

A circular hall, half of which was covered by a light shielding layer, and the other half was slowly opening to project bright sunlight into the hall. Everywhere he looked was an unfamiliar device.

Although he didn't recognize the robots running around on the ground and the small planes flying in the air that kept speaking something in Chinese, Oliver knew pandas.

All the equipment was labeled with pandas, and there were bamboo and panda decorations not far away. Going further ahead, there were pandas, pandas, and more pandas.

It was not until now that Oliver realized that this was China, because pandas were synonymous with China.

The students were already chattering and looking at the route signs, but Oliver took out the mobile phone that Schiller had stuffed into him, a small square worn on the wrist, which could be called a mobile phone. A holographic screen would pop up with a press.

Oliver was a little flustered searching for news, but because he was connected to China's intranet, all the results he searched were in Chinese that he couldn't understand, and the translation was also irrelevant.

Fortunately, Oliver is a native English speaker, so even if the sentences are not fluent, he can still get the general idea. It's just some news about what was built today and what was built tomorrow.

Oliver couldn't figure it out at all. He felt that part of his brain was blocked, so he had to ask for help from one of the students who was good at English. The two talked for a long time, and Oliver realized that this was China, and the history was no different from the East Asian history he knew.

That is, it experienced war in the early 20th century and has been very poor since then. According to the student, until around the millennium, his family was still an ordinary farmer, facing the loess and back to the sky to farm every day, and only during the New Year and festivals could they eat meat.

Schiller has spent more than ten years in both worlds. DC is now in 1998, and Marvel is in 2018, which is exactly 20 years apart.

The China that Oliver knows is similar to what the student said, belonging to the stage where most people still have to think about the problem of food. What happened in these 20 years? Did the 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 not changed much in the past 20 years, let alone Europe and the United States.

Oliver felt very confused. This was a huge mystery to him, because it was impossible. How could it develop to this point in just 20 years?

He could say that the following journey was tasteless and a pity to abandon. The development here was amazing, the pandas were cute, and the people lived happily. There was nothing wrong with it.

The only problem was that this should not be possible.

It was not that Oliver had any prejudice against this country, but from his current perspective and knowledge reserves, he could not find any way to achieve this.

In fact, when studying Mexico, Oliver found that China and Mexico had countless similarities, such as the same long history, long-standing civilization, living next to a giant, suffering from historical infringement, and internal revolutions that rose up in resistance, and they were also peasant revolutions.

To some extent, these two countries are cut from the same mold, but why are their developments so different? What is the difference?

Oliver racked his brains 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 where he was, China was not yet in the millennium, and it was still the era they said everyone had to worry about food. Wouldn't it be enough for him to go back and take a look?

Coincidentally, he had a good relationship with the Soviet Union in his universe, and because the Soviet Union was weak, China and the Soviet Union were jointly resisting the pressure of the United States. It was the honeymoon period. As long as he took this path, it would not be difficult to go to China.

Oliver made up his mind. After returning to Kamar-Taj, he didn't stop for a moment and ran back through the portal as if his butt was on fire.

Clark and Magneto happened to encounter difficulties at this time-they had made a name for themselves, but how to defend?

Of course, Clark would say he wanted to farm. Under the strong deterrence of the two of them, the soil where internal fighting did not occur was also farmed smoothly, and the people under him were easily full.

Because to put it bluntly, there were only a few people in Mexico. Even if Clark and Magneto did not come, one person would not starve to death if he found a wasteland and used the most primitive slash-and-burn method to plant a field, and Mexico was least lacking in wasteland.

After the most basic food and clothing problem was solved, the two were at a loss. They were full, and then what should they do?

This is a good question, because once people are full, they start to have nothing to do, and then they start to find things to do when they are full.

Clark and Magneto wanted to light a fire for the bald eagle's butt, not to burn themselves. Seeing that some of these farmers started to eat and gamble, some started to fight for power, and some felt that it was almost time to go back to their wives and children to warm the bed. There was no need to stir the shit stick at all, and they scattered shit all over the sky. The two were quite helpless.

To put it bluntly, neither of them knew how to build infrastructure. If Magneto had known a little about the Brotherhood of Mutants, he wouldn't have wandered for decades, nor would he have struggled for several issues without building a decent country, even though there was no resistance to building a country in the comics. They all broke up halfway.

Clark was even less capable. After all, he was an American. He learned farming from his own farm. He was fine with farming, but it was a bit difficult for him to do it at the national level.

At this time, Oliver had landed in China in his universe and began to follow the Soviet Union's inspection team to the grassroots level. At that time, China was building village-to-village connections. Oliver was like the 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, he desperately sent him photos to show off that he had found a place to farm. So why couldn't he show off back?

Clark saw that, yes, they now had food, people, and land, so of course they had to send people to connect all these lands together to transport food.

This can not only solve the problem of people having nothing to do, but also open up the traffic lines for exchanging what they have and what they don't have, and also strengthen the control over the region to prevent the infiltration of troublemakers. The benefits are huge.

What else can I say? Just copy it and it's done.

Recently, there have been a lot of people coming to my house, so the update may be late, sorry
