Chapter 284 City of the Future (First update, please subscribe)
Along the way, the coachman pulled the car very fast on the road, and the bell on the handlebar was also ringing non-stop.While running, he shouted "Two leans", "Two leans".Of course, Verne couldn't understand what he was shouting at all.

Although the coachman ran very fast, he definitely could not keep up with the bicycles. Occasionally, when a bicycle passed by, Verne would look sideways. He also had a bicycle, which was nothing new.

But it seems to be produced here.Well, nothing new really.That's just over a thousand francs.

Along the way, he was more surprised by the buildings on both sides - the height of the buildings was far beyond his imagination.Finally, when he came to the Atlantic Hotel, looking at the ten-story building, his heart beat violently involuntarily.

"Is it really necessary to live in such a high place?"

As a science fiction writer, he once imagined that the future city will be full of tall buildings, and he also imagined how to take the elevator to the tall buildings. Naturally, he also imagined the picture of standing by the window and staring at the street view outside the window.

But now, when all fantasies are realized one by one in the next few minutes, Verne feels an unprecedented shock.

Even after entering the room, standing by the window looking out at Nan Hua, he still couldn't recover from the unprecedented shock.

The elevator was so fast, it sent him to the tenth floor!
Tenth floor!

I actually want to live in such a high place?

Verne only felt a little dazed. At this moment, he saw some dark streets suddenly lit up. In an instant, all the streets were lit up!
Numerous electric lights illuminate the streets of Nanhua, and also illuminate the city. A city that seems to exist only in fantasy suddenly breaks into Verne's sight.
Standing on a tall building, it seems that the lights in the distance are extremely bright. Looking at the city that is completely different from the previous one, Verne seems to understand why those travelers and adventurers would call this city "the city of the future". City".

"This, this is really the future!"

Not seeing the future, but living in the future...

Staring at the tall buildings, Verne found that he was a little out of date, because his fantasy seems to have been realized here, at least to a certain extent!

After freshening up, Verne came to the restaurant on the first floor. After enjoying a rich and delicious Chinese meal in the restaurant, he came to the lobby of the hotel and said to hire a tour guide and translator.

"Sir, if you want to hire a tour guide, the hotel can provide corresponding services, but the translator, I'm sorry, you need to go to the employment agency to ask about this..."

The lobby manager of the hotel is not refusing, but because there is really no one. In Nanhua, even now, translation is relatively rare. Those who are capable of earning this money have already gone to the company to work as a translator. Why do you want to be a tour guide here?

In Nanhua, there is never any need to worry about finding a job there.As long as you have a skill, you will be able to find a suitable job, just like those immigrants from Europe.

When they were in Europe, they even had problems eating, let alone staying in those factories that worked sixteen or seventeen hours a day.

Those skilled technical workers here can not only get rich remuneration, but also make the family have no worries about food.They can even get an extremely cheap housing.It doesn't matter if they don't have money, as long as they have jobs, banks are willing to provide them with loans.

It doesn't matter even if they can't afford it, the company will provide them with a collective dormitory.Although there is only one house, it can definitely accommodate a family.After all, bunk beds are cheap aren't they.

Compared with their life in their hometown in Europe, these people in Nanhua are definitely living in paradise.You only need to work twelve or thirteen hours a day to live this kind of life without worrying about food and clothing.

If they learn to speak Chinese, it will definitely bring extra rewards. Being a master and taking an apprentice is all paid.

Even being a translator can be very rewarding.Of course, this also led to the fact that no suitable translator could be found in the hotel. After all, the income of a translator in a company is higher.

Although there was no translation, the lobby manager took out a map.

"Sir, when you first arrived in Nanhua, you are not familiar with the roads. This is a French map. Although it is not very detailed, the general names of roads and places are clearly marked. You will definitely not get lost with it."

"Thank you, sir."

Hearing this, Verne was overjoyed. At first he thought it would be difficult to move without a translation, but he didn't expect there to be a ready-made map!Taking a look at it, the map is very delicately drawn. Not only are the road names marked, but even many place names on the roadside are clearly marked in French, which looks clear at a glance.

This kind of urban traffic map is unique to Nanhua, and it is no different from those "** Traffic and Tourism Maps" of later generations, but in this era, this kind of map is undoubtedly unique, and it greatly facilitates many beginners. Those who came to Nanhua, of course, would directly erase some important departments, facilities and roads when printing.

Even so, with this map, Verne doesn't have to worry about getting lost. After all, the streets in Nanhua are all straight and weft roads.

After putting away the map, Verne walked out of the hotel.

The straight roads are very recognizable - they are completely different from the maze-like streets in Paris. The streets and alleys here are all horizontal and vertical, square, except for a few main roads with special street names. The alleys are numbered with "latitude and longitude", even for people like Verne who have just arrived here, they can travel conveniently by referring to the map and the signposts at the intersections and alleys.

Along the way, there are more and more people on the streets: men and women, old and young, the night here is lively, just like the Avenue Champs-Elysées, but even in Paris, there are only a few streets equipped with electric lights, some Without electric lights, there is nightlife.

Because it is night, it is rare to see people in a hurry, most of them are strolling around the street, they occasionally enter roadside shops, department stores, or people come out of roadside shops.Even though he had just arrived here, Verne could tell that although these people were dressed in different styles, their expressions and faces were all filled with peace and joy. It was obvious that ordinary citizens here also lived a comfortable life.

The further you go, the more lively the front becomes, especially when you leave Zhuque Street and come to the so-called "night market", the street vendors and shop facades are naturally dizzying, just as some people described in their travel notes, the night market The shops in the street will not stop operating, and the lights of every household and street lights illuminate the street like daytime.There are all kinds of goods and goods, and there are goods at the door of many shops, and there are people selling them there.

"It's so lively here!"

Verne just felt that his eyes were not enough. Originally, he thought that Paris was already lively enough, and that he could see products from all over the world in Paris.

But I didn't expect it to be incomparable with this place, not to mention other things, just the various snacks sold at the roadside stalls, there are many that he has never seen - they are all snacks from all over China, he must have never seen it .

Although I haven't seen it, I haven't eaten it.But walking in it, he only felt the fragrance rushing towards his face, which made him swallow from time to time. He definitely didn't buy it because he was shy, but because he felt that walking and eating with something in his hand was not what a gentleman should do at all. matter.

But soon, his idea was overturned - I saw a few European girls in gorgeous dresses, enjoying the food from the roadside stalls happily while walking, completely disregarding any lady's etiquette.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Verne was dumbfounded, he just felt that he had entered a brand new world, not only because everything here was so strange, even as a science fiction writer, he didn’t know Dare to imagine all this.

"This, is this Nanhua?"

The city presented in front of his eyes is different for any European city.This is not just a bustling city that never sleeps.It is still a peaceful city. In this city, there are no beggars, poor people and criminals everywhere in European cities. There is only a life that looks very rich, and it seems that everyone does not need to worry about food and clothing.

Perhaps this is the real future, because there is no poverty in the future he envisions.

That night, Verne suffered from insomnia...
