Chapter 77 On the ship [Please subscribe for tens of thousands of dollars per day, monthly tickets]

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

Zhang Buyi had never been on a large ship in his previous life and had no idea what modern large cruise ships were like, but when he saw the steamship in front of him, he was shocked.

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

Of course, this is just a dream. Even if it is just such a cargo ship, in order to get it, Daxia can be said to have exhausted half of the national treasury and gave away an unknown amount of profits to have such twenty small cargo ships.

After entering the freighter, Zhang Buyi discovered that there were even electric lights, and all the surrounding facilities had a Western style. It was 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 the East and the West is now. You know, this was still 1898. Even in the reality of Zhang Buyi's life, in 1935, Jingle City had not seen much modern flavor.

Nowadays, a freighter sold by Westerners has complete modern facilities such as electric lights. The gap is not too big. It is a gap of an era.

This was the case in the previous life, but now that there are professionals, it is even more exaggerated. The black technology of the West may even be afraid of the great Confucians.

You must know that theoretical knowledge has been developed in the past life, but it still needs continuous exploration and countless scientific researches before we can achieve results.

But now, after theoretical knowledge is developed and integrated into the system, professionals can take the lead in constructing it with mana and spiritual machinery, and then let forging professionals try to copy it, and then industrialize it. This kind of operation will have a great impact on the development of the industrial system.

It's simply cheating.

This is also the fundamental reason why professionals can flourish in the West and suppress the countless years of accumulation in Daxia. It is also the fundamental reason why the new faction in the imperial court is becoming more and more popular nowadays.

Times have changed, and some steps must be taken forward, and no one can stop them.

········

After boarding the ship, Zhang Buyi got familiar with the ship under the guidance of a short-haired waiter wearing Zhongshan Villa.

Modern ships, modern waiters' dressing, it's like returning to the past life.

"This is your lounge, your personal space. On the entire ship, except for the top floor where you are not allowed to enter and exit at will, you can visit other places as you please.

Your Majesty is going to Jiangshui Lane, a total of one and a half days, so for food on the way, you can go to the cafeteria or ask us to come to the dormitory to eat. This is included in the boat ticket and there is no additional charge."

As the waiter introduced, Zhang Buyi followed and looked at it with curiosity. Ever since he got on the cruise ship, it was as if he had entered the twentieth century, with obvious differences between the times.

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

The waiter followed Zhang Buyi's gaze, with some inexplicable emotions flashing in his eyes, nodded, and said: "Yes, a lot every time, most of the space on the top floor belongs to them.

The canteen over there is also divided into two areas, one of which also prepares Western food for them.

Sir, you can also try it based on your identity. You have this authority, but try not to offend these foreigners, because if there is a conflict, most of us will suffer."

Hearing this, Zhang Buyi frowned and said in confusion: "If I remember correctly, this is our Guandu, why does it seem to be inferior to us?"

The waiter paused, glanced at Zhang Buyi, and then said: "Sir, you don't often take steamships, do you?"

Zhang Buyi nodded and said, "This is indeed the first time."

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

Zhang Buyi frowned and looked at the waiter in confusion, waiting for his next words.

"Now in China, although foreigners are arrogant, they will not have high status after leaving the concession. But on this steam ferry, they have the authority of the concession area.

This is the clause that was signed in the purchase agreement when we bought the steamship, and it cannot be changed. This is why, even though we spent so much money to buy twenty steamships, we have to use half of them for Guandu.

After all, the reason why they are willing to sell it is just because some foreign capitalists think it is too troublesome to travel here and it is convenient for themselves.

In addition, although our Beiyang Navy has been established for nearly ten years, steamship technology has been strictly blocked by foreigners, and the shipbuilding bureau cannot even do precision repairs, so we have to look at other people's faces."

The waiter's expression was very complicated as he spoke. There was some sighing, and he didn't know if his mood was sadness, helplessness, or anger.

Zhang Buyi understood, but remained silent. Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a bit too low, Zhang Buyi smiled forcefully 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 sure whether he was talking to himself or Zhang Buyi.

Zhang Buyi changed the topic and said: "Looking at you, you are also in the system, right. Do you Guandu personnel belong to the naval system or the service system?"

The waiter also calmed down and thought about Zhang Buyi's words before he understood the full meaning and said with a smile: "Other Guandu are servants, but the servants on the steamer are all good players in the navy."

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

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

The person who can come here to work as a waiter is obviously not an ordinary soldier. He has obviously undergone a relatively systematic special education and belongs to the highly educated soldiers of this era. Therefore, the two of them actually got along quite well.

After a while, Zhang Buyi got to know more about the steamer, then he separated from the waiter and returned to his 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 previous lives. In the real world of 1935, Western black technology must be a bit scary.

"beep·······"

As a long whistle sounded, the steamer spewed out white steam and billowed black smoke before weighing anchor and moving forward.

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

········

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

feeling.

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 my arms, so I can't stage the classic scene of Titanic. The little fox's fox head emerges from his chest and clothes. I really enjoy this scenery.

At this time, Zhang Buyi felt a clear prying gaze. He subconsciously turned around and looked back, and he happened to meet a pair of green eyes.

There was a small deck area on the upper deck. At this moment, a little girl, no more than ten years old, was standing on the top of the deck, staring straight at him.

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

The whole thing is like a princess coming out of a fairy tale, delicate and noble. Even in this era, when people in Daxia are not very sensitive to foreigners, it is difficult to feel hostile when seeing her.

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

"Miss, Miss..."

Before the two people standing on the upper and lower decks looked at each other and spoke, Zhang Buyi heard anxious calls coming from the upper cabin, but they were in English.

On the deck, the little Loli heard the call, but under Zhang Buyi's surprised gaze, she climbed out of the upper deck railing with unusually familiar movements, clasped the edge with her hands, and hung outside the railing.

Such an action made Zhang Buyi frown a little. Obviously, this doll-like girl is not as delicate and quiet as her appearance, but a little naughty. She is a standard naughty child!

As soon as the little girl hung herself up, Zhang Buyi saw two strong men dressed as sailors and a lady coming to the deck in the upper cabin, looking for people in a hurry.

The three people took a quick look around the deck, but did not find the child. They found Zhang Buyi on the lower deck. The lady asked politely in broken Chinese: "Excuse me, have you seen a little girl?"

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

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

After hearing this, the noble lady politely returned Zhang Buyi's gift and then left in a hurry.

"He's gone, crawl back quickly and be careful not to fall." Zhang Buyi said to the little girl in imperfect English.
