66 Fog City

Wucheng is much colder than Chaoxicheng, and it is still a little rainy. It doesn’t matter if you don’t hold an umbrella, but it will definitely be soaked over time.

In fact, Gao Qi likes raining very much, and he should say he likes it very much, but he found that the locals don’t seem to like it very much.

The clothes on the man in casual clothes were waterproof, and the raindrops formed water droplets on him, which seemed to be waxed canvas, with a long figure and a pair of half-high-top boots on his feet, but the pants on his legs were half wet.

"This weather has lasted for several days, it's really bad, annoying light rain."

First, I complained about the weather, and the man in casual clothes bowed slightly and said, "Good morning, gentlemen, welcome to the fog city. I hope this continuous light rain will not affect your mood. I am Raymond of the City Hall, and I am very happy to meet you."

After a very brief opening remark and self-introduction, Raymond pointed to the police beside him and said, "This is Officer Wilson of New Scotland Yard, and he will be responsible for cooperating with several people in Mist City."

Wilson also didn't hold an umbrella. He wore a police helmet, a police raincoat, and his pants were waterproof, but he wore a pair of leather shoes, and the leather shoes were covered with mud.

After waiting for Raymond to finish speaking, Wilson nodded and said to Gao Qi and the others: "I'm glad to see you."

Of course, Wilson spoke English, so neither Gao Qi nor Huang Fei understood it, but Raymond spoke Chinese because he was a translator.

When Raymond finished greeting, John smiled, pointed at Gao Qi and said, "This is the messenger of justice."

Raymond's face changed slightly, but he still whispered to translate Gao Qi's name to Wilson, and then Wilson's face changed slightly immediately.

At this time, John pointed at Huang Fei and smiled and said, "This is my emperor."

Wilson was stunned, John nodded and said, "My Majesty, My Emperor."

Raymond pursed his lips, and after he finished speaking to Wilson, Wilson immediately looked at Huang Fei with surprise. After he said a few words, Raymond repeated Huang Fei's name in a very sure tone.

Wilson shrugged, and then Raymond said to Gao Qi and Huang Fei: "Please come with me, I will take you to the residence where you are staying. After you have rested, you will ask you to go to New Scotland Yard to find out the situation."

The uneasiness and expectation before departure had turned into contempt. Huang Fei waved his hand and said, "It's only half an hour in total, which is shorter than the time I used on my way to work. I don't have to rest anymore, just go to that Su... what kind of venue."

Raymond nodded, and then he looked at John, who smiled and said, "I will wait for your good news on the ship, and I wish you good luck."

Raymond then said to Gao Qi: "Mr. The Messenger of Justice, and Mr. My Emperor, please."

A black police car was parked in the distance. When they followed the two of them toward the police car, the rain on the green lawn inevitably wet their trousers, but when they approached the exit of the spacecraft apron, the lawn damaged by the car exposed the soil and inevitably stained their leather shoes.

Huang Fei curled his lips with contempt and grimaced at Gao Qi. After he slightly distanced himself from Raymond, he whispered: "What is the Su field they said? What does it mean?"

"It used to be called Scotland Yard, which refers to the Police Department. Now it is called New Scotland Yard. The meaning is still the same, it is a level older than the police station and will be in charge of the entire Mist City police station."

Huang Fei said with disdain, "If you take the rag as a treasure, the police station will just be the police station, it's true."

Chaoxicheng has no police, and the functions of the police are shared by the Management Department and the City Defense Forces. Wucheng obviously retains the police, so it also retains the usual names of the old era. However, in Huang Fei's view, these are obviously meaningless and very artificial.

Especially after Huang Fei and Gao Qi got on the car, they saw Wilson twisting the key and shakingly launching, Huang Fei said in surprise: "It turned out to be a car? Where did your gasoline come from?"

Raymond turned around and smiled at Huang Fei, "It's not gasoline, it's diesel recovered from cracking of rubber and plastic."

Huang Fei said in surprise: "Why don't you use a tram if you diesel car? How convenient is the tram?"

Raymond pursed his lips, and then he smiled and said, "Because we do not have controllable nuclear fusion, we cannot build nuclear power plants, we can only burn coal to generate electricity. The electricity is very short of power, so there is no need to build a power conversion tower."

The power generated by controlled nuclear fusion converts the power into electromagnetic waves through a radio energy transmission tower, while the tram receiving terminal converts electromagnetic waves into electrical energy. To put it bluntly, this is wireless charging technology.

The tram in Chaoxicheng has batteries, which converts electromagnetic waves into electricity. The tram will also charge the on-board battery while driving. Even if the tram is far away, it can still drive outside the radiation range of the electric energy tower.

Some ordinary electrical appliances, such as light bulbs, TVs, and refrigerators, are converted into electricity by converters in the building and then supplied with power.

It can be said that Chaoxicheng's technology has been more advanced than Wucheng for countless generations, but Gao Qi didn't know this before. He always thought that cities all over the world were the same.

Huang Fei said blankly: "No, we...City No. 1 has made the controlled nuclear fusion technology public to the whole world for free? Why don't you?"

Raymond sniffed and said, "What can we do with technology? It's useless to not be able to do it. Now there are only a few cities in the East that can make controllable nuclear fusion core reactors. If we can't afford it, it's useless. We only exchanged a spacecraft for a nuclear fusion reactor, but the controllable nuclear fusion power station is still under construction. It is estimated that in another ten years, no, there will be another five years to generate electricity."

Huang Fei said in surprise: "Five years? How can it be used for five years? Isn't this something that can be built in at most half a year?"

As he spoke, it seemed like he had become a show-off. Raymond simply stopped talking and poked Huang Fei's leg. So Huang Fei laughed twice and stopped talking.

Even if the spacecraft is parked, it is an asphalt road after leaving the airport, which is very narrow. Both cars have a tight width.

The car quickly entered the city area, and then when I got up, I found that the roads in Wucheng were not only narrow, but also narrow. After entering the city area, the houses on both sides were covered with stones and bricks, and the highest was two floors. Moreover, the most common reinforced concrete house in Chaoxicheng was not seen in a single building here.

Gao Qi didn't know why the Mist City fell to this point.

I used to think that the gray cement house was particularly ugly, but now, Gao Qi initially thought that Chaoxicheng was better. At least Chaoxicheng could build a fortress with particularly good protection effects. Even the house you live in daily life could be used as a fortress. Although it was gray and not good-looking, it was at least safe.

Huang Fei couldn't help but say, "Why don't you use cement to pave the road to build a house?"

Gao Qi quickly touched Huang Fei, but Raymond said lightly: "Cement? We have no resources for burning cement here."

"Then why do you have asphalt roads? Isn't asphalt very precious?"

“Recycling the asphalt from the old road…”

Raymond seemed a little impatient. Huang Fei curled his lips disdainfully, but finally gave up asking questions temporarily.

There is only such a police car on the road, and there are quite a few pedestrians on the street. After seeing the police car, they all made their way out, so the cars were unblocked. However, the clothes worn by these pedestrians seemed to be quite tattered, and they rarely saw people wearing new clothes. The feeling that Gao Qi felt that it was so poor here.

After the sea transportation was completely cut off, oil became extremely scarce in many cities, or even none at all. As the most important raw material of the chemical industry, petroleum naturally could not continue to operate. The most direct consequence was that it was impossible to produce the most basic synthetic fibers of the modern textile industry. Without fabrics, it was naturally impossible to make clothes.

The worst thing is that it seems that cotton is not suitable for growing here in Wucheng.

Gao Qi could quickly understand why Wucheng seemed to have returned to the 19th century, but Huang Fei could only say that.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a red brick building. After Raymond stopped the car, he turned to Gao Qi and said, "We're here, please get out."
