There are two main risks: one is death in danger during the inspection. But Wang Kai believes that the problem is not a big problem. She will receive protection equivalent to that of a senior senator and try to prevent her from being in danger. If he really encounters a big storm or is besieged by the enemy's superior force, such as "the whole group is wiped out", Wang Kai will probably follow suit, and he doesn't need to worry about what will happen next.
The biggest danger is that Sonia escapes halfway. It is said that this little woman has a talent for languages, is proficient in multiple languages, has extensive experience in field expeditions, and is also good at sailing. Although the situation of a single woman in this time and space is very dangerous, she may become homesick, or she may no longer be able to tolerate her slave status and risk running away. In East Asia in this time and space, it is not difficult to find British and Portuguese ships in many trading ports. If she is determined to seek help from her compatriots to escape, she may really escape.
Of course, there is another hidden danger. Sonia is a woman, and she is also the life secretary of a certain veteran. She has been inspecting it for at least half a year. Most of the people on the boat are men, which seems a bit inappropriate... However, the captain has already identified Li Huamei, and they Living together can avoid suspicion.
Wang Kai thought about it and decided that before speaking to Lin Hanlong, it was best to conduct a peripheral investigation first. Let’s take a look at the relationship between this British female naturalist and Elder Lin and whether they have any children.
If the two have a good relationship and have children, the possibility of Sonia running away halfway is greatly reduced.
Who to start with? The first thing he thought of was the girls from "Okura Club". But Sonia herself is a member of the club, so the other girls must say more good things, and besides, several of them are not in Lingao right now.
Logically speaking, it would be easiest to go directly to the office to investigate such matters. However, the situation of the elder's life secretary is private content. Without official letters from relevant departments, even the elder cannot access it.
Then we can only start from Sonia’s workplace! Fortunately, this is not a secret. Sonia’s workplace is the newly built “Natural History Museum” in Lingao.
Like many departments of the Senate, the "Natural History Museum" has a great name, but in terms of scale, it is probably not even close to the cultural centers in small counties along the 18th line in the old time and space.
Its predecessor was the "Natural Specimen Showroom" in Yerba Buena Academy. It was the teachers and students of Fangcaodi who, under the guidance of veteran teachers, collected various mineral, plant and insect specimens locally in Lingao. Later, after they were able to produce formalin and arsenic by themselves, animal specimens were added.
As the Senate continued to grow, this herbarium gradually expanded, from being limited to Lingao to the entire Hainan, then Guangdong, Shandong, Liaodong, Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, Southeast Asia, Jeju Island, Kyushu Island... wherever Wherever the elders set foot, specimens were sent back here one after another. Gradually, the specimen room became more and more cramped, expanding from one room to three rooms. Gradually, it tended to occupy the entire building. Moreover, the elders believe that such a "rich" collection should not be kept only in Fangcaodi. It should be seen by more people and used for science popularization.
So the new natural history museum was put on the agenda. The designers of the Natural History Museum chose Qifeng again. The reason is that many of his design drafts are loved by many big shots in the Senate.
Elder Qi has designed buildings for the Senate many times, and he has learned enough about the stinginess of the Senate or the Planning Institute. So this time he was very restrained and did not use his own aesthetic concepts too much. He designed the Lingao Natural History Museum based on "simplicity", "plainness" and "dignity".
In appearance, it imitates the Soviet-style neoclassical building of the Beijing Natural History Museum, and it is greatly simplified according to the material capabilities of the Senate. Roman columns and other decorations were omitted, the main building was reduced, and the height of the two wing podiums was also compressed. In order to make up for the omission in architectural decoration, Qi Feng added a bell tower to the building under the "strong suggestion" of several elders, accompanied by the symbol of the Ministry of Science and Technology: the big bell.
The main building area of the Natural History Museum is 2,000 square meters and is two floors high. It is divided into four exhibition halls and one exhibition hall. There are also supporting auxiliary facilities such as specimen collection rooms and production rooms, which are quite eye-catching in high-rise public buildings.
Because it is positioned as "universal science popularization", this museum was established outside Bairen City, on the bank of Wenlan River, adjacent to the gymnasium. Greening and landscape design have been done around the area. Although it is not "majestic" or "gorgeous", it was still unique in the 17th century.
As soon as the museum project was established, Lin Hanlong applied for Sonia's position here. The reason is also very simple: I am away from home almost every day, and such a blond beauty stays at home... It is true that I am not afraid of thieves, but I am afraid that thieves will miss her. I spent so much effort, money and debt to buy it back. The girl was also a sensation in the Senate. When Sonia went out for the first time after arriving at the Lin family, she attracted onlookers in the elders' residential area. Both the elders and the life secretaries wanted to see the beauty of this exotic beauty - especially since she also had a "naturalist" ” title.
The Remote Exploration Department has been eyeing this girl with a lot of field investigation experience from the beginning. For this reason, they even visited her door and suggested that Sonia should be allowed to "work" in the Remote Exploration Department. Lin Hanlong refused at first, but then he thought that he was not a person willing to stay at home with his wife all day long. Leaving such a lively and active girl at home would either cause depression, or he would be full and idle all day long. What tricks did you come up with...
If you work in a certain department and have something to do, you won't get into trouble for free. Moreover, Lin Hanlong, a member of the Remote Exploration Department, including the Science and Technology Department above it, also knows that most of them are professional technicians with a relatively decent style. He was relatively reassured about this.
So he agreed to Sonia's "secondment" to the Remote Exploration Department. Of course, at that time, he had not yet agreed to Sonia's expedition to the sea. He only agreed that the exploration team could take her with them when they conducted land exploration in Hainan.
After a while, Lin Hanlong saw that Sonia was emotionally stable and showed a strong interest in the knowledge of the Senate. In addition, a group of girls from the "Okura Club" worked hard to "do work" for him, and then he gradually relaxed. restrictions. She was allowed to go to sea with the exploration team.
Several expeditions to sea were uneventful, but Lin Hanlong felt that this was not a long-term solution. After all, the expeditions were short-term, and most of the time the female naturalist was still at home. It happened that Sonia was pregnant at this time. Lin Hanlong heard that the museum was being prepared, so he went to Dr. Zhong, who was in charge of the matter, to ask for help. So as soon as the museum started to be built, Sonia joined the preparatory team as a matter of course. This time it's not a secondment, it's a serious job with a title: a third-level researcher at the Natural History Museum.
At this moment, the third-level researcher at the Natural History Museum had just woken up and saw the sunlight shining through the gap in the curtains. She groped around the pillow and found the birthday gift Lin Hanlong gave her last year: a Seagull ST1601K machine set. Watch with silver case handcrafted by skilled craftsmen.
This kind of watch just started to be sold to the outside world in small quantities by No. 82 last year, and its sales targets are limited to elders and a few high-ranking naturalized cadres. In the past, watches were only distributed to sailors, officers, and engineering technicians who needed to accurately control time. They were occasionally awarded as prizes to meritorious personnel among naturalized citizens.
This kind of watch has been on sale since the 82nd, and many veterans immediately bought it for their people. Sonia also got one.
Watches are a very new thing for Sonia. As a naturalist who is proficient in navigation, she understands the significance of precise timekeeping and has seen the efforts made by craftsmen and scholars, but from the moment she sees the watch, she realizes all the efforts she has seen in the past. It's all meaningless. Because the Australians have reduced the timer to such an extent, and its accuracy can be said to far exceed all existing timers.
When she told Zhong Xiaoying this opinion, seeing Zhong Xiaoying's hesitant expression, she realized that maybe her knowledge was not enough - these Australians also have more accurate timers.
Therefore, when Lin Hanlong gave her a watch as a gift, although her shock at "Australian technology" and "the miracle of the Senate" had faded a lot due to the passage of time, she was still pleasantly surprised the moment she got it.
The watch is so beautifully made, it's more of a gorgeous piece of jewelry than a timepiece!
Through the glass surface - this is one of the parts that cannot be produced by itself yet and needs to be stocked in old time and space. It is one of the current topics of Lin Hanlong's optical factory - the blue hand of the watch is close to ten o'clock.
Sonia rarely slept in in the past, but after giving birth it became the norm. Last night, she and the nanny worked together until the early hours of the morning to get the baby to sleep - this was a baby with high needs. By the way, this term was also coined by a certain veteran. Speaking of which, the Australian elders knew almost everything. They could even tell her the ABCD of why she had stomachaches during her menstrual period. This terrifying "profound knowledge" once shocked Miss Sharpe when she first arrived.
Now, she has completely adapted to it. Not only has it adapted to the "extensiveness" of Australians, but it has also adapted to the Australian way of life. For example, she has become accustomed to Australians' more close-fitting but lightweight and comfortable clothes. They don't wear corsets and don't need to wear seven or eight skirts when it's cold.
It is obvious that Australians' clothing is more lightweight and flexible, making it easier to move. However, she still couldn't accept walking outside in long pants. She had to wear a skirt at all times - as a compromise, the skirt was dropped just above the ankles, exposing a little of her calves - and of course she had to wear a pair of calf socks on her calves.
