Chapter 2635

After returning to Kamar-Taj, Shiler took Oliver to visit here simply, but Oliver obviously didn't care much. He was not very interested in magic, thinking that like science and technology, it is just a tool. But even the best tools are useless if the people using them are not good.

Shiler wanted to take Oliver to play, but now Kamar-Taj is short of hands, and he has to help with work, so he found students in the Magic Academy who liked to go out to play, discussed with their teachers, gave them a holiday, and let them take this country bumpkin from another universe to Sichuan to play.

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

They immediately arranged the itinerary. Of course, they must go to Chengdu first, then see pandas. Chongqing is also indispensable, as well as Jiuzhaigou, etc., and finally a Sichuan-Tibet line, ensuring that they can have fun.

Of course, Shiler also urged them to register with the relevant departments after landing. Although he had already greeted the Spear Bureau, Oliver was a black household in this universe after all, so he still had to pay attention to entry and exit.

Oliver thought they were taking a plane, but he didn't expect that a few students would take him on an air train. He hadn't even started to be surprised by the railway flying in the sky before he arrived.

That's right, it arrived in less than two hours, and they spent an hour and a half just finding seats, checking tickets, buying food, and introducing each other. Their butts weren't even hot before they arrived.

As soon as he got off the air train, Oliver had one feeling: where did you bring me? Is this still Earth?

It may be that Chinese people have a railway plot, that is, they are very keen on building railways. When building railways on the ground, they meet mountains and open mountains, meet water and split water. No matter how difficult it is, they must build it. Now that there is no difficulty in the air, they are even more eager to build the entire Chinese sky, directly covering it with a lid.

But air trains are also particular. They cannot be built on the same plane, but must be divided into different speeds and uses, and built at different heights respectively. And the lifting method is more troublesome. It is best to be cargo lifting rather than track lifting.

Considering the experience of the passengers, the air railway cannot be built like a roller coaster, so the vast majority of air train tracks are flat without rising and falling, only needing to go up and down by elevator in the station when transferring.

This leads to the fact that the station cannot be a large building standing on the ground, because almost no building can reach such a height, and building so high is not safe enough. Currently, all air train stations in China are floating islands in the sky.

This leads to the fact that the sky above many large city traffic hubs is really like the top of the sky, with countless floating islands floating above the head, and countless tracks and trains circling among them.

For the sake of operational efficiency, many airport and flying shuttle stations have been built together with the air train concentration area, which is even more lively. The flying height is generally aircraft greater than air train greater than flying shuttle. The three do not interfere with each other, but very complex scheduling is required when taking off, which is often a beauty 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 station, and parking lot that would usually be seen near the airport disappeared completely. 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 air train station.

A few students pulled Oliver and ran under one of the floating islands. Closer, Oliver realized that this was not a floating island, but actually a large flying saucer.

And it was just like those alien movies, a beam of light came down from the middle of the flying saucer, sucking people up. This is the elevator they talked about.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no process of passing through a portal, Oliver would have thought Shiler had sent him to another planet.

In fact, he was also doubting whether the train he took had any function of traveling through time and space. This didn't look like 20 years later, it looked a bit like 2000 years later.

While still dazed, he had already been pushed into the elevator. Oliver felt nothing, and found himself appearing in front of a door. He walked forward instinctively, and when he came out, he saw a more sci-fi scene.

A circular hall, half of which was a shading layer, and the other half was slowly opening, and bright sunlight was projected into the hall. Everything he saw was equipment he didn't recognize.

Although he didn't recognize the robots running around on the ground and the small airplanes constantly saying something in Chinese flying in the sky, Oliver recognized pandas.

All equipment was pasted with pandas, and not far away were bamboo and panda decorations. Going further forward were pandas, pandas, and more pandas.

Only now did Oliver react. It turned out that this was China, because the panda is synonymous with China.

The students were already chattering and looking at the route signs, but Oliver took out the mobile phone Shiler stuffed to him, a small square worn on the wrist, which could be called a mobile phone, and a holographic screen popped up with one press.

Oliver was a bit flustered and searched for news, but because he was connected to the Chinese intranet, what he searched for was all Chinese he couldn't understand, and the translation was also donkey-lipped and horse-mouthed.

Fortunately, Oliver is a native English speaker. Even if the sentences are not smooth, he can see a general idea. Anyway, it is all news about building this today and that tomorrow.

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

That is to say, 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 ordinary farmers, facing the loess and backing the sky to farm every day, and only eating meat during festivals.

Shiler has passed more than ten years in both worlds. DC is now 1998, and Marvel is 2018. The two are exactly 20 years apart.

The China that Oliver understands is about the same as what the student said, belonging to the stage where most people still have to worry about eating. What happened in these 20 years? Did aliens invade Earth successfully?

For a person, twenty years is not long, and not short, but for a country, it is a bit too short. Even if it is the United States, which has a short history, there has been no particularly big change in the last 20 years, not to mention Europe and the United States.

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

The subsequent journey can be said to be tasteless to eat and a pity to discard. It is amazing here, pandas are also cute, and people live happily. There is simply no fault to pick.

The only problem is that this should not be, this is impossible.

It is not that Oliver has any prejudice against this country, but from his existing vision and knowledge reserve, he cannot find any way to go like this.

In fact, when studying Mexico, Oliver discovered that China and Mexico have countless similarities, such as equally long history, long-standing civilization, equally living next to a behemoth, equally suffering from historical infringement, equally having internal revolutions that rise up, and equally being peasant revolutions.

These two countries are carved out of the same mold to some extent, but why is the development so different? Where is the difference?

Oliver thought about it and didn't understand.

On the way back, listening to a few Chinese students missing the past, Oliver suddenly realized that for them, it is the past, but for him, it is the present.

The universe he is in, China is not yet the millennium, it is still the era they talk about where everyone has to worry about eating. Isn't it enough to go back and see it?

It just so happens that he has a good relationship with the Soviet Union in his universe, and because the Soviet Union is weak, the pressure of China and the Soviet Union against the United States is in the honeymoon period. As long as you take this path, going to China is not a difficult thing.

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

And Clark and Magneto happened to encounter difficulties at this time—fighting made a name for themselves, but how to defend it?

Of course, Clark would say he wants to farm. Under the deterrence of their two powerful forces, there is no soil for infighting, and farming is very smooth. The people below are full easily.

Because to put it bluntly, there are only a few people in Mexico. Even if Clark and Magneto didn't come, one person finds a wasteland and uses the most primitive slash-and-burn method to plant a field, and they won't starve to death, and Mexico is least short of wasteland.

After the most basic food and clothing problem was solved, the two of them were confused. They were full, so 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 be full and have nothing to do and look for things.

Clark and Magneto want to set a fire to the bald eagle's butt, not to burn themselves. Seeing that some of these farmers started to drink and gamble, some started to fight for power and profit, and some felt that it was almost enough to go back to their wives and children and have a hot head, this didn't need a shit-stirring stick at all, they scattered into the sky by themselves, and the two were a bit helpless.

To put it bluntly, neither of them knows how to engage in basic construction. If Magneto knew a little bit, the Brotherhood of Mutants wouldn't be able to wander for decades, and wouldn't be able to build a decent country after tossing for several issues in the comics, and they all scattered halfway through.

Clark wouldn't even know. After all, he is an American. To say farming, he learned it by ear and eye on his own farm. It is okay to engage in farm industries, but it is a bit difficult for him at the national level.

It just so happens that at this time, Oliver has landed in the China of his universe and started to go to the grassroots with the Soviet inspection team. At that time, China was doing village-to-village communication, and Oliver was like that travel frog, constantly sending photos to Clark.

Actually, he didn't want to guide Clark. It was mainly because when Clark was here before, he desperately sent photos to him, showing off that he found another place to farm. Then why couldn't he show off back?

Clark took a look, yes, they have grain, people, and land now, so they must send people to connect these lands together to transport grain.

This can solve the problem of people having nothing to do, open up traffic lines for exchanging what is needed, and strengthen control over the area to prevent the infiltration of shit-stirring sticks. The benefits are great.

Then what else is there to say, just copy it.
