After settling the matter of the Baiye Principality, Chen Xing immediately went to Surabaya City in the Heque Principality.
Although he also wanted to stay in the Daxiting for a few days, after all, he had never been there. It is said that the Daxiting has many historical monuments and attractions, but due to the lazy administration in front of Cuilis, time has become very tight. If he still wants to unify If we go to the south, we must continue non-stop.
Before going to Surabaya City, Mark, a former diplomat of Ice Blue City who was one of the temporarily formed think tanks, told him that compared to the political systems of other countries in Ambergris River, the Principality of River Bird is a very special existence.
The country in Ambergris River is basically a semi-monarchy and semi-parliamentary system. The royal family leads the country and the parliament manages the country. Both parties restrain each other. The royal family belongs to the aristocratic system of the old era, and the Parliament belongs to the human survival committee system of the new era. The two power systems restrict each other and form a balance.
There is no royal family in the Principality of Heque. The power of the royal family is exercised by a scientific and technological organization called the "National Research Institute of the Principality of Heque".
The previous leader of the Heque Principality was a mysterious scientist "Dr. A" who made outstanding contributions to the Red Kingdom. In order to reward Dr. A, Malan 22nd gave him the land of Heque Principality.
And Dr. A is a complete science madman. He has been obsessed with science all his life. He has never married a wife and had children, and has never looked for a woman. Since he had no heirs, royal power was given to the institute.
About ninety years ago, the aging Dr. A felt that his time was running out. In order to wait for life-extending technology, he froze himself into hibernation. The institute was jointly managed by his three apprentices, Dr. B, Dr. C and Dr. D. .
In the eyes of the Ambergris River countries, the Heque Principality is an anomaly. It does not respect royal principles and does not abide by conventions. However, it occupies the best position in the entire Ambergris River except Ice Blue City. Most of the city is surrounded by the elegant environment and abundant water and grass. Surrounded by heart lake. Naturally, the result was that they were hated and ostracized. Countries only maintained a minimum of diplomacy, and the River Bird Principality didn't take it seriously. It was happy to be quiet, closed in on the country, and immersed itself in its own research.
Because of its unique geographical location and many patented technologies, the Heque Principality is still very prosperous even if it is isolated by other countries.
In the eyes of the academic community, the Heqiao Institute is a group of deviant lunatics.
Taishan Beidou White Tower Academy and Black Tower Academy even called them "alchemists who deviate from human nature" and "a shame in academia" and never contacted them.
Heqiao's researchers don't care. They never participate in academic activities, but they work closely with major manufacturers, such as Hongtu Heavy Industries, Three Phase Heavy Industries, West Africans Medical Technology, etc.
Because of this special political status, the River Bird Principality immediately aligned itself with Cuillis, and even expressed its stance a few days earlier than the White Night Principality.
In the minds of this group of mad scientists, whoever allows them to continue their research is their king.
Obviously Trilis is the most in line with their aesthetics. She is powerful but not meddlesome, and her moral bottom line is not very high. She can do whatever she wants without any taboos, and there is no need to worry about being surrounded and suppressed by the defenders.
When we arrived at Surabaya City, it was already night.
Looking down from a high altitude, the whole city is blurry, with dense neon lights and chaotic colors, as if the environment in a dance hall is filled with extremely strong light pollution.
The city is not large, but it is full of towering skyscrapers. The shortest among them has hundreds of floors. Two hundred floors are the norm, and you can see those with four or five hundred floors.
There are huge advertising signs hanging on the floor, showing all kinds of advertisements, including food, beauties, mechas, medicines, daily necessities, etc.
The suspended train, which emits purple light all over, shuttles rapidly between the buildings, like an endless roller coaster.
Because it is surrounded by water on three sides, the entire city seems to be built on the lake, reflecting a colorful halo, full of technology and fantasy.
Chen Xing read some information on the way here. Surabaya City is the most densely populated city in the world. There are more than 20 million people living in less than 100 square kilometers, which can be said to be as dense as a honeycomb.
It is said that the residents of Heqiao live in special rooms called "capsule apartments", with an average living area of less than three square meters per person.
This data is shocking. In Chen Xing's first life, although his family background was ordinary, he lived in a 70-square-meter two-bedroom and one-living room. It's hard to imagine what it would be like to have twenty-three people crammed into such a room. He probably had to go to the toilet. Wait for half a day.
Under the guidance of the navigation light, the aerostat slowly landed on the platform of the high-rise building.
When Chen Xing came down, the entire tarmac was empty. There was no welcoming crowd, no reporters' flashes, only a solitary figure, and he was still sitting in a wheelchair.
It was in sharp contrast to the previous warm welcome from the White Night Principality. If the former diplomat hadn't explained it in advance, Chen Xing would have doubted whether He Que had rebelled.
"Zi..."
An electric wheelchair came over, and on it was an old researcher wearing a white coat and very deep wrinkles.
Without even the most basic greeting, the other party began to introduce himself, "I am Dr. B1, your guide and assistant this time."
Fortunately, I still know some manners and know how to use the title "you".
"Where are the three BCD doctors?" Chen Xing asked.
Judging from the title of the other party "B1", he should be Dr. B's assistant or student.
With his level as a commander, at least one of the three highest powers would receive him.
"Three doctors have entered frozen dormancy. Now we, nine doctors B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, and D3, jointly manage the institute." Dr. B1 replied.
Chen Xing said in his mind, "I see", and then asked, "Does B1 represent the highest power?"
"No, our nine doctors are equal." Dr. B1 said.
"So you can represent them?"
"I can only speak for myself."
Chen Xing frowned slightly. He was here to talk about borrowing troops. What's the point of a person who can't make decisions?
"Did Mark explain my purpose of coming?" Chen Xing asked, his tone already a little cold at this time.
"Mr. Mark has explained your purpose of coming. According to our agreement with the Queen, you can use our troops to the maximum extent." Dr. B1 controlled the wheelchair to turn around, "Please come here, I will give you a detailed explanation later. "
Chen Xing was a little doubtful, but he still suppressed his displeasure and followed Dr. B1's wheelchair out of the apron and got into the elevator.
"Commander, you may not be used to it, but what we pursue is extreme simplicity and extreme efficiency. We will eliminate anything that lacks practical significance."
Probably seeing that Chen Xing was a little unhappy, Dr. B1 took the initiative to explain, "This also includes the reception ceremony."
"If we use five thousand people for a three-hour reception, we've lost 15,000 hours of productivity."
"We believe you might be happier if these fifteen thousand hours of productivity were used in future wars."
"Yeah." Chen Xing nodded, indicating his understanding of this poor reception.
After a while, the elevator stopped at the 381st floor. The elevator door opened, and two people wearing white coats and masks came in.
At first, Chen Xing thought he was the person receiving him, but he didn’t expect that these two people were interested in Chen Xing and B1 Bo.
The scholar turned a blind eye and pressed the floor to himself, then looked down at the ground without saying a word.
Dr. B1 seemed to think it was normal, and even moved the wheelchair to the side to make room.
"this……"
Chen Xing was speechless. In the elevator that received the commander-in-chief, there were actually people sharing a car. This simple and efficient thing was really an exaggeration.
After a few more "carpooling" trips, the elevator finally reached the 230th floor.
"Commander, please come this way."
After exiting the elevator, there was a circular hall, extremely empty.
The floor is made of brown glass, and then there is just the floor.
That's right, it's not just empty here, it's so empty that there's only the floor.
The exterior walls are also made of glass, so you can see the surrounding tall buildings, the suspended trains passing through the windows, and even feel the slight vibrations of the rails.
"Are we going to talk here?" Chen Xing asked, spreading his hands.
Not only does the commander-in-chief have to "share a car" with others when taking the elevator, but now there is no place to sit, let alone a drink of water. This kind of reception is too rude, isn't it?
Chen Xing was about to have a seizure when he saw Dr. B1 stretch out his hand and wipe his palm across the front, and a holographic projection control panel appeared in front of the wheelchair. I saw Dr. B1 perform a few operations on the control interview, and the glass floor a few meters in front of him lowered.
"Zi..."
A single sofa and a small round table with refreshments slowly rose up.
"Please sit down." Dr. B1 extended his hand to indicate.
Chen Xing sat down. He immediately felt that this sofa was very different. As soon as he sits down, he can feel several support points working, which perfectly fits his back and sitting posture, making it very comfortable to sit on.
Dr. B1 operated the control panel a few more times. A round piece of glass lowered, and then a graceful figure rose up.
Taking a closer look, it is a female mechanical doll. It is very beautifully designed. It is made of stainless steel and has extremely beautiful lines. It seems that every detail is the product of ingenuity.
The two eyes exude a blue light, and the facial features are soft. Although they are made of metal sheets, they have a feminine beauty. At first glance, there is no sense of disobedience. She looks like a lively and quiet beauty standing in front of her, but she is completely beautiful. Metal face, and several thin lines at the seams.
What was even more shocking was that Chen Xing felt strong psychic energy fluctuations in this mechanical doll!
Psionic energy is the energy of life, which can only be released by living things, like the pulse of life.
Although Yuling also has psychic energy, it does not radiate psychic energy fluctuations outwards, and in psychic vision, the psychic threads connecting the host can be seen.
This mechanical doll has obvious psychic fluctuations on its body, and there is no psychic thread.
In a sense, she is a living thing!
"Ai Yin, now it's up to you to explain our core technology to our most distinguished and important guests."
The female robot placed her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly, and made a pleasant female mechanical voice, "Follow your instructions, Dr. B1."
"Rather than your technology, I want to know how many troops you can provide me." Chen Xing suppressed his inner curiosity and said coldly. He came here to ask for money and food, not to listen to other people's bragging.
"We will provide you with the most advanced cyborg army." Dr. B1 looked at the female mechanical doll and introduced, "The Aiyin in front of you is the highest-tech crystallization of our National Research Institute of the Principality of Kagome."
"X7-type Cyborg!"
