Chapter 1164: First Arrival in Liaodong
Lu Xiangsheng woke up from his deep sleep, he lifted the blanket on his body, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stood up from the bench, and simply moved his sore waist and legs.
At this point, it was pitch black outside the porthole, and the engine outside the pod hummed violently. Except for the two pilots, the rest of the people in the airship pod were still asleep.
Lu Xiangsheng sat down, leaning on the edge of the porthole and looking at the engines on both sides of the pod. He thinks he is not pedantic, not only is he well-read, but he has occasionally read books such as Heavenly Creations and Strange Artifact Diagrams, but he has never even heard of things like Shenzhou.
Such a behemoth can actually float in the sky, in Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, it is really too mysterious.
"Lord Lu, don't sleep for a while......"
Lu Xiangsheng turned his head and found that Billy Zhou had also woken up.
"Mr. Zhou, I take the liberty of asking, how did this Shenzhou fly into the sky, and how did it travel thousands of miles a day."
Zhou Billy smiled and said, "Lord Lu, this is our Type 35 airship in the Far East, as for how to float in the air, this ...... That's a long story. To put it simply, it is to use a gas lighter than air to make the airship float in the air. The engine is then used to generate thrust, so that it has the conditions to travel thousands of miles a day. ”
Lu Xiangsheng was confused when he heard it, but he saw that the other party was extremely serious, and it didn't seem to be perfunctory.
Zhou Billy glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, who was confused, and continued: "This is the scientific and technological personnel in our Far East who are responsible for research and development, and I don't know much about it, but I just understand the basic principles. ”
Lu Xiangsheng digested the other party's words, but he still couldn't understand it. Especially some words in the other party's words, he has never heard of them.
"Lord Lu, after arriving in Liaodong, if you are interested in this aspect. I can lead the adults around our place, and they will be able to see a lot of high-tech products like airships. ”
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately became interested, anyway, he had asked his master to make proper arrangements before leaving, and it was nothing to delay for a few days, and he also wanted to have a good understanding of the situation of the Far East Company. After all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers of the Far Eastern Army outside the border wall, and they don't know which day they will cross the side wall.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Then trouble Mr. Zhou." ”
"It's not troublesome at all, as long as adults want to see it, I will try my best to arrange it. In fact, they are all some strange and obscene techniques of our Far East, which are not worth mentioning. Although we in the Far East are as agricultural-oriented as the Ming Dynasty, they also encourage industry and commerce, and the treatment of craftsmen here is very high, and we are now riding in an airship. It is manufactured and assembled by a large number of craftsmen. ”
Listening to Zhou Billy's words, Lu Xiangsheng frowned. Artisan households are cheap servants in Daming, and they are not as good as the farmers at the bottom. I didn't expect the Far East to attach so much importance to craftsmen, no wonder there can be such a magical airship.
The two kept chatting, and Lu Xiangsheng found that the Far Eastern official opposite knew a lot, although his words were plain, he could be regarded as extraordinary, which made the two talk about sex without diminishing. talked all the way to Shenyang.
The airship arrived in Shenyang and then slowly landed at the airport on the outskirts. Several staff members of the office of the Far Eastern Company, who were in charge of the reception, were already waiting here.
Billy Zhou led Lu Xiang into a jeep. All the way to Shenyang. The jeep once again attracted Lu Xiangsheng's attention, and he sat in the car and kept looking around, trying to figure out how fast this iron guy was running fast without anyone pushing the horse.
But after studying all the way, he didn't figure out the mystery. This also made Lu Xiangsheng always confused, feeling that the books in his life were in vain.
The next day. Lu Xiangsheng woke up early and sat on the bed in a daze.
Although he was extremely tired from riding the airship for several hours, from the time he boarded the airship, what he saw and heard along the way kept him awake at night.
That huge Shenzhou can travel thousands of miles in a day. It only took a few hours to fly from Xuanfu to Shenyang in eastern Liaodong, and the vehicle made of steel was completely incomprehensible, and it was incomprehensible that it could run like a fly without being dragged by a horse.
What amazed him even more was not only this, but even the courtyard where he stayed, everything in it made him extremely surprised. With just one touch, the room instantly brightens up as day. With a slight twist, hot water will cascade down your head.
There is also the floor-to-ceiling mirror in his room, standing in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror so clearly, it is simply delicate. Lu Xiangsheng has grown so big, and it is the first time for him to see himself so clearly.
Of course, he, the dignified left squire of the Ming Military Department, the right Jindu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the important minister of military affairs of the three towns of Xuanda, Shanxi, and Jizhou, was also quite embarrassed when he first entered this courtyard last night.
Fortunately, Zhong Dahai stayed in Shenyang for a few days and knew a little about the various facilities in the yard, so he was not too embarrassed. Even so, Lu Xiangsheng still saw a bit of ridicule in the eyes of several maids arranged for him by the Far East Company, and it was clear that he regarded him as a hillbilly from the countryside.
Lu Xiangsheng got out of bed and came to the bathroom next to him, although Zhong Dahai repeatedly taught for a long time last night, but when he washed today, he was still in a hurry in the face of various facilities on the white wash tray. When he finally washed up, he was also sweating profusely.
He returned to the bedroom, picked up a set of navy blue clothes, and looked at it carefully, the style of this set of clothes is quite peculiar, different from the wide long coat of Daming green cloth straight, but divided into two pieces of clothes and pants, some like the short clothes worn by the bottom of Daming, but the style is completely different.
The style of the top is simple, with a closed-style figure-eight neckline, sleeves, five exposed buttons in the middle of the placket, and a seamless back. The lower two open pockets, symmetrical from top to bottom, with covers, nail buttons, and the upper two small pockets are flat patch pockets, and the bottom corners are rounded. The lower pants have three pockets, two side pockets and a back pocket with a flap.
This set of clothes looks concise, simple and generous when worn on the body, but the fabrics and accessories are quite exquisite, and the workmanship is also very fine. The overall silhouette is padded shoulders and waist, balanced and symmetrical, and the wearing looks stable and generous, very spiritual.
In addition to the outer jacket, there was a set of underwear, a hat, socks, and a pair of black leather shoes, the upper of which may have been specially polished and coated with shoe polish, which was so smooth and oily that it almost looked like a mirror.
Last night, he specially asked a maid to find out that this suit is called the Huahan regular uniform in the Far East, and the Far East usually wears this regular uniform from officials to ordinary people. However, depending on the working environment, the style and fabric will be slightly different.
There is also a kind of Chinese and Han dress worn on formal occasions such as weddings, sacrifices, crown ceremonies and ceremonies in the Far East, the style is more traditional, combined with the characteristics of the clothing of the Han and Tang dynasties, using the collar and the right side, without buttons, but with rope and tie knots, men and women also have to wear crowns, scarves, hats and headdresses respectively, the fabrics are mostly made of silk and plush fabrics, wearing luxurious atmosphere, looking free and elegant.
In addition to Chinese and Han regular clothes and dresses, people from all over the Far East will also wear some very casual Chinese casual clothes on holidays and other days of rest and travel. There are many styles, women's clothes are mostly skirts, men's clothes are also different from regular clothes, so slim, very loose and comfortable, even shorts.
When participating in various sports, people from all over the Far East generally wear all kinds of Huahan sportswear, which are usually designed and produced according to the specific requirements of sports, including clothing for outdoor sports activities.
In addition, there are some clothing according to the characteristics of the occupation and the requirements of the working environment, such as the military uniforms worn by the Far Eastern Army, the police and other paramilitary units, the uniforms worn by hotel service personnel, the work clothes worn by workers in industrial and mining enterprises, etc., and the styles are also diverse.
Lu Xiangsheng changed into this set of Chinese and Han clothes, stood opposite the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room, and turned left and right to look. He has been wearing a Ming official robe all the year round, and when he wears this Far Eastern Huahan regular dress for the first time, he still looks a little stiff and uncomfortable.
He simply tied his hair into a bun and put it on his head, and took a hat and put it on his head, this time he looked more and more awkward in the mirror.
Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly in the mirror and shook his head, secretly slandering in his heart that the Far East is not polite, and the officials and gentry actually wear the same clothes and crowns as farmers and craftsmen.
"Adult ......"
At this time, Zhong Dahai's voice came from outside the room, Lu Xiangsheng responded, and then walked out of the room. I saw Zhong Dahai outside the house, also wearing the same set of Chinese and Han clothes, and when he saw him out of the house, he hurriedly came over to greet him.
Lu Xiangsheng nodded at the other party, and then went straight to the courtyard. At this time, it is autumn, and in the early morning, the temperature is already a little cold, the leaves of the trees planted in the yard are yellow, and the various flowers in the flower beds have withered, which is particularly bleak and poignant.
A pretty maid in uniform greeted her and said with a smile, "My lord, breakfast is ready......
Although the maid's attitude was very respectful, Lu Xiangsheng didn't feel a trace of humility from the other party at all, and even the smile seemed to be deliberately trained, which made him feel a little unhappy in his heart.
He nodded with a straight face, and then followed the maid out of the courtyard to the nearby dining room. The dining room was richly decorated, and in the center was a quaint table of eight immortals, on which a hot breakfast was already arranged, and several maids saw him and came to wait.
Lu Xiangsheng sat down and just wanted to eat, when he found Zhong Dahai standing behind him, he turned his head and said, "You can sit down too......
Zhong Dahai listened and shook his hand again and again to refuse, until Lu Xiangsheng repeated it several times, and then he sat down carefully. This also made Lu Xiangsheng's slightly unhappy mood somewhat calmed down.
Breakfast was simple, with a few refreshing side dishes, a bowl of steaming millet porridge, and a few drawers of xiaolongbao with elaborate fillings, as well as a few peeled eggs and a glass of milk.
The taste of this breakfast is good, especially the xiaolongbaozi, which has the characteristics of his Yixing hometown with thin and transparent skin, rich marinade, fat but not greasy, and rich juice, which makes him very satisfied. (To be continued.) )
