Occupational sacrifice

Chapter 77 On board

After waiting for more than half an hour, it was Zhang Buyi's turn.He took out his ID card and boat ticket, and successfully boarded the steamship without any accidents.

Zhang Buyi had never been on a large ship in his previous life, so he didn't know what a modern large cruise ship is like, but when he saw the steam ship in front of him, he was shocked.

The rough mechanical style and the monster-like steel creations attracted him in a different way. The blood hidden in the man's bones fluctuated slightly, and he felt like he wanted to build a car like this to try.

Of course, this is just a dream. Don't look at just such a freighter. In order to get it, Daxia can be said to have exhausted half of the national treasury and made an unknown amount of benefits. There are only twenty small freighters.

After entering the freighter, Zhang Buyi found that there were still electric lights, and all the surrounding facilities had a western style, as if he had returned to his previous life and entered some western-style buildings.

This also made Zhang Buyi realize how big the gap between East and West is now.You know, this was still 1898. Even in the reality of Zhang Buyi's existence, in 1935, Jingle City hadn't seen much modernity.

But now a freighter sold by Westerners has modern facilities such as perfect electric lights. The gap in this is not too big, and the gap is a whole era.

This was the case in the previous life, but now that there are professionals, it is even more exaggerated. Western black technology may be to the extent that even great scholars are afraid.

You must know that theoretical knowledge was developed in the previous life, and it still needs to be explored continuously. After countless scientific researches, there will be results.

But now, after the theoretical knowledge has been integrated into the system, professionals can take the lead in constructing mana and spiritual creatures, and then let forging professionals try to copy them, and then industrialize them. Such operations will have great impact on the development of the industrial system. It's just hanging up.

This is also the fundamental reason why professionals can prosper in the west and suppress the accumulation of countless years in Daxia.It is also the fundamental reason why the momentum of the new faction in the imperial court is growing.

The times have changed, and some steps must be advanced, and no one can stop them.

After boarding the ship, Zhang Buyi, led by a short-haired waiter in Zhongshanzhuang, was familiar with the ship.

The modern ship, the modern waiter's dress, it's like going back to the previous life.

"This is your lounge, my lord. It belongs to your personal space. On the entire ship, except the top floor, you are not allowed to enter and leave at will, and you can visit other places as you please.

Adults are going to Jiangshui Lane, a total of one and a half days of travel, so you can eat in the cafeteria or ask to eat in the dormitory. This is included in the ticket and there is no additional charge. "

As the waiter introduced, Zhang Buyi watched curiously.Ever since I got on the cruise ship, it was as if I had entered the [-]th century, and there was a clear era split.

Suddenly, he saw some special people, and said in surprise: "Every time the official ship sets off, there are so many foreigners?"

The waiter followed Zhang Buyi's gaze, a little inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, he nodded, and said, "Yes, there is a lot every time, most of the space on the top floor belongs to them.

The cafeteria over there was also divided into two areas, one of which was also prepared for them.

Sir, you can also try it with your identity, you have this authority, but try not to mess with these foreigners, because once conflicts occur, most of them will suffer from us. "

Hearing this, Zhang Buyi frowned, and said puzzledly: "If I remember correctly, this is our Guandu, how come it makes us look inferior to us?"

The waiter paused for a moment, glanced at Zhang Buyi, and said, "Sir, you don't often take steamboats, do you?"

Zhang Buyi nodded and said, "It's indeed the first time."

The waiter said: "That's no wonder. In this situation, there is nothing we can do. It's not that the people on our ship are servile and want to be licking dogs. It's that we can't change it, at least we can't change it now."

Zhang Buyi frowned, looked at the waiter in puzzlement, and waited for his next words.

"Nowadays in China, although foreigners are arrogant, they won't have a high status after leaving the concession. But on this steam ferry, they have the authority of the concession area.

This is the clause that we signed on the purchase agreement when we bought the steamship, and it cannot be changed.That's why, after spending so much money to buy [-] steamships, half of them were used for Guandu.

After all, the reason why people are willing to sell it is because some foreign capitalists feel that our travel here is too troublesome for their own convenience.

In addition, although our Beiyang Navy has been established for nearly ten years, the steamship technology is strictly blocked by foreigners, and the Shipbuilding Bureau can't even do precision repairs, so we have to look at their faces. "

The waiter's expression was complicated when he spoke.With some sighs, I don't know if it's sadness, helplessness, or anger?

Zhang Buyi understood, but also fell silent.Probably feeling that the atmosphere was a little too gloomy, Zhang Buyi forced a smile and said, "It will get better."

"I hope, I really hope that Mr. Kang's visit to Beijing this time will bring about different changes." The waiter whispered, not knowing whether he was speaking for himself or Zhang Buyi.

Zhang Buyi changed the subject, and said: "Look at you, you are also in the system, right? You Guandu personnel belong to the navy system, or the official system?"

The waiter also calmed down and thought about what Zhang Buyi said before he understood the whole meaning, and said with a smile: "Other Guandu are servants, but the servants on the steamship are all good hands in the navy."

Zhang Buyi raised his eyebrows and understood the key point. Once a war breaks out, these ten steam Guandu should transform at the speed of light.

In this way, the two of them browsed the ship while chatting, and chatted slowly about a lot of things.

Those who can come here to work as waiters are obviously not ordinary soldiers. They have obviously gone through a relatively systematic special education and belong to the high-educated soldiers of this era.Therefore, the two actually chatted quite speculatively.

After a while, after Zhang Buyi knew about the steam wheel, he separated from the waiter and returned to his own room.

Looking at the various modern facilities, I feel a little nostalgic.

At the same time, from these things, he also realized that the development of this world is definitely much more unreasonable than in the previous life. In the real 1935, Western black technology must be somewhat scary.

"beep·······"

With the sound of a long whistle, the steam wheel spewed out white steam and billowing black smoke, and the anchor lifted and moved forward.

Zhang Buyi was at the window of the room, watching Nanzhou City slowly go away, his thoughts diverged a little.

·······
It was night, Zhang Buyi had already browsed the ship, and the novelty was over.Finally he stood on the deck, enjoying the breeze on the deck.He had never been on a boat in his previous life, and he found that he actually liked the feeling of riding the wind and waves on the deck.

It is indeed a good feeling to stand at the forefront of the deck, open your hands, and face the wind.

It's a pity that there is no girl in his arms, and the classic scene of the Titanic cannot be staged. The little fox's fox head is drilled out of his chest, and he also enjoys this scene very much.

At this time, Zhang Buyi felt a very clear peeping gaze, he subconsciously turned around, looked back, and met a pair of green eyes.

I saw the upper deck and a small deck area. At this moment, a little loli, no more than ten years old, was also standing on the top of the deck, staring straight at him.

To be precise, it was the head of a white fox staring at the hem of his clothes.Her eyes are wide open, she has long golden hair and shawls, sky blue eyes like stars, and is wearing a Hainan-colored princess dress.

The whole is like a princess coming out of a fairy tale, delicate and noble.Even in this era, when the people of Daxia didn't have a good sense of foreigners, it was difficult to feel hostility when seeing her.

"Ahn'Qiraj, Ahn'Qiraj..."

"Miss, miss..."

Without waiting for the two people standing on the upper and lower decks to talk, Zhang Buyi heard anxious calls from the upper cabin, but they were only in English.

But on the deck, the little Loli who heard the call, under Zhang Buyi's surprised gaze, pulled out the upper deck fence with an extremely familiar movement, clasped the edge with both hands, and hung out of the railing like that.

Seeing this kind of action, Zhang Buyi frowned a bit.Obviously, this doll-like girl is not as delicate and quiet as her appearance, but rather naughty.It's a standard brat!
Just as the little girl hung herself up, Zhang Buyi saw two strong men dressed as sailors in the upper cabin, and a noble lady came to the deck, looking for someone in a hurry.

The three of them took a quick look around the deck, but they didn't find the child, but Zhang Buyi on the lower deck.The lady asked politely in broken Chinese: "Excuse me, did you see a little girl?"

At this time, Zhang Buyi saw that the little girl hanging on the edge of the ship stretched out a hand, put it next to her mouth, and made a 'shh' gesture to Zhang Buyi.

Zhang Buyi twitched inwardly, shook his head, and said, "Child? I'm sorry, I just arrived on the deck."

Hearing this, the noble lady politely returned a salute to Zhang Buyi before leaving in a hurry.

"He's gone, climb back quickly, and be careful not to fall." Zhang Buyi said to the little girl in not-so-standard English.
