Chapter 3 What year is it today?
After a long time, Wesley recovered and then slowly digested the news provided by Apple, and then said: "Let's say so much first. Today's news is already shocking enough. Let's go to London to see the specific time now, and then look for evidence to prove which universe we are in." Although there are only two parallel universes that we know, he still went to London with hope.
Wesley didn't attract others' attention. Wesley wore a formal suit, but his suits were all slim. Wesley looked around and felt it was not very good, so he put it away directly.
"What clothes do I have prepared?" Wesley prepared too much, and the space inside was huge enough.
"It's difficult to dress in a timely manner. The closest thing to it is a set of work clothes, which you need when working in the lab," Apple said.
"Then let's wear this." Wesley changed into work clothes, with a large strap overhead pants, a gray shirt and no hat. Wesley set out for London.
Wesley flew to the suburbs at night with an iron armor, and then went to the city. After entering the city, he carefully observed it. At this time, he could not see any traces of the asphalt road from the above. They were all flat dirt roads, but they were very suitable for carriages, and the earliest T-cars would also care about these roads.
There are street lights on both sides of the road, but workers need to manually light them every day. These are gas street lights. However, it was a mistake for Wesley to choose to come to London at night for covert purposes. He didn't know where to find time. He didn't want to be regarded as a lunatic. He just grabbed someone and asked directly. He couldn't rent a hotel because Wesley found an embarrassing problem and he had no money!
Yes, he checked and had a credit card, but he didn't have cash. Even if he had cash, he probably couldn't use it in this era. "Apple, do we have any precious metals?"
"You don't like to wear accessories, only some watches, but there are time and origins on them, and there are limited codes, but you have a few pairs of cuffs with diamonds inlaid with platinum."
"So we need to find a pawn shop?"
"Yes, but that's also tomorrow morning. What should we do tonight?" Apple asked.
Wesley frowned and thought, "Let's take a walk around and just enjoy London in this era. The fog is really worthy of its reputation. It was gray when I saw it in the morning. It's still the same now. Are the people here not short of their lives?"
"If the time is determined, where are you going to develop?" Apple asked.
"Of course I'm going to the United States. It's more convenient to determine the specific time or the United States. If it's just a time travel, you might be able to meet Captain America and Page Carter in advance, and this is one of the founders of SHIELD."
"Your behavior may cause them to not appear, know that it may be before the First World War."
"Leave it to fate, take one step at a time." Wesley sighed, and then he wandered around the cold streets, not caring about the patrolmen who were patrolling at night.
After walking for a while, Wesley took out a cigar, found a place to sit down, and slowly tasted it. He originally wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he didn't smoke it at all. However, after taking out the cigarette this time, he looked at the filter and then put it away again. Now there is no such thing, so it's better to be more secretive, so he smoked the cigar directly.
"Apple, do you think there will be Sherlock Holmes here?" Wesley asked.
"I don't know, if you want to confirm that you can go and have a look. But... now there is a Model T, then even if this person exists, he may be very old. He probably has entered a retirement life and may not be living here."
"That's it."
Wesley sat in place until the next morning. The sky was still gray. It seemed that all factories in London had started construction, and a large amount of black smoke was integrated into the air. Wesley could only breathe the seriously polluted air helplessly, and then looked for whether there was a pawn shop around the street.
On Regent Street, the commercial atmosphere was already very strong. Wesley came here and found a pawn shop with a good scale, so he walked in directly. He took out a pair of cufflinks, a pair of cufflinks with diamonds inlaid in platinum, and placed them directly on the front desk.
An old white man picked up a pair of monocle glasses and placed them directly in his left eye, clamped his eyelids up and down, then took the cufflinks and looked carefully, then raised them up and looked at the sunlight, then looked at Wesley, "This is not something you can own, it was stolen, right?"
Wesley smiled and said, "Of course not. I came from abroad and had no money anymore. I can only sell something. Such diamonds and metals are platinum, especially the workmanship you have seen?"
"I have never seen it before. You know the rules of pawning. How about I give you one hundred and fifty pounds?" the old man asked.
"Yes." Wesley did not bargain. He really didn't care about this little money. His knowledge was a huge amount of wealth, especially with Apple here, leaving the pawn shop with one hundred and fifty pounds, and now he was thinking about how to go to the United States.
Of course, the first problem is to buy a newspaper, which has a date and date. This is very important. London is very cold in spring. Although the temperature is not a problem for Wesley, he is a little thin. If the clothes he wears are not very new and looks full of momentum, many people would think he is an unemployed worker.
There were many newspaper boys selling along the street. I took out a shilling in the purse delivered by the pawn shop. The newspaper boy found the change, all of which were pennies. Wesley picked up the newspaper and stood on the street and read it. It turned out to be April 1, 1912, April Fool's Day?
"Are April Fool's Day? It's really ironic." Wesley smiled bitterly.
"It's easy to know the time. Just take a boat to the United States. Now I don't know if the battle here will break out on time." Apple said.
"Whether it is outbreak or not has no impact on us. Let's go to the dock directly. I hope there will be a cruise ship to the United States in the near future. When we arrive in the United States, we will get some patents and then think about other things. If we travel through time and space, it will be difficult to go back, and it requires technology and funds. And the space gem is also a must. It doesn't know when it will be full of energy!" Wesley took the newspaper to the dock. He visited for a long time last night, and Apple also has a map of London during this period.
