The roads in Ocean City are not wide, with only two lanes.
After walking to the street, Sean and others finally saw the "cars" driving on the undersea highway that they had seen in the elevator before.
There are two tracks in the middle of the road, and carriages on the tracks are traveling at a constant speed.
The speed of these carriages is not fast, and people who need to ride can stop the empty carriages at any time on the street...
Randy walked in front, reaching out to these slow-moving tour buses: "Due to the limited efficiency of air purification, cars cannot be driven in Ocean City.
“In its place is this set of electric-powered rail tour buses.
"Although the speed of these tour buses is not as fast as that of cars, they are much faster and less labor-intensive than walking..."
Sean looked at everything around him - he found that except that this city was built on the bottom of the sea, everything around it was somewhat similar to the downtown area of New York City.
If you don't look up to see the underwater world outside the bubble, you will think that this is a dimly lit New Testament night...
There were some pedestrians on the street, obviously residents of Ocean City.
Compared with the surprise and restraint on the faces of the tourists, they looked casual and magnanimous, as if they were used to living here.
The residents of Ocean City dressed in colorful clothes all look particularly friendly. They will stop, smile and wave at tourists.
After walking for a while, Solomon discovered something and said to Randy, who was walking in front: "The people living here seem to be very happy."
Whether it was the staff greeting his party or the residents walking on the road, they all had gentle and satisfied smiles on their faces.
Randy smiled and said: "The number of residents in Ocean City is very small, and those who are lucky enough to immigrate here are the elites of the outside world.
“Together we have created a dream utopia, where we live a rich and unrestrained life, so everyone feels very happy.
"All this is due to Mayor Mr. Verne and Chief Technology Officer Mr. Tesler." Randy had an expression of admiration on his face. "It is precisely because of their creativity and design that we have what we have now." Life……"
As a special correspondent of the "Daily News", Sean should naturally show a professional demeanor, so he asked: "Who are the people who immigrate to Ocean City? Is the threshold high?"
“Ocean City officials will send invitations to elites from all over the world, including scientists, artists, business tycoons, and top talents in various industries.
"Mr. Verne believed that only when the best talents come together can they create the most brilliant achievements.
“Ocean City’s liberal temperament attracts elites from all over the world.”
“Ocean City continues to grow and expand as talent continues to come in...
“These talented people also bring their families, and these people are known as Ocean City’s first-class residents.”
Sean nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Listen to what you said, Ocean City residents mainly do scientific research, artistic creation and other higher-level things...
"What about the workers? Where about the farmers? Where are the service workers? Are there any here?"
"Service staff...that's me." Randy smiled, "Those of us who are responsible for specific work are the second type of residents.
“After passing the interview, foreigners can stay and work here, but they have not yet obtained permanent residency in Ocean City.
“If you can serve urban residents for more than ten years, you can obtain permanent residency.
“We unskilled immigrants are very satisfied and happy here, so almost all of us will work hard in the hope of obtaining permanent residence...”
"I understand." Sean nodded.
"Like other societies, there is division of labor and class in Ocean City..." Sean thought to himself, "However, due to the great value contributed by the upper-class talents and the limited population, Ocean City is particularly wealthy.
“This creates conditions for a happy life, and even lower-level workers have higher life satisfaction than the outside world…
"Although it is not perfect, it is already an attractive utopia..."
Randy led everyone into a revolving door entrance and entered a hotel called "The Sunken Ship".
"Why is it called such an...unlucky name?" Sean thought of the disturbing incident on the Bronze Giant.
The decoration of the Shipwreck Hotel has a European style, and the Mediterranean style looks bright and gorgeous.
Walking in it, Sean and others forgot that they were three hundred meters below the sea.
After Randy assigned each person's room key, he said: "Everyone has half an hour to rest. We will have dinner together in the restaurant in half an hour."
The hotel's floors were not high, and Sean and others' hotels were on the first floor. After walking through the corridor to find their room, they found that Yueguang and Ivan's rooms were right next door.
After saying hello, Sean inserted the key and unlocked the door.
As soon as I opened the door, my previous question about the name of the hotel was answered.
The mistaken feeling that I was on land disappeared.
Sean and Olivia were somewhat surprised when they walked into the twin room and found that the entire wall facing the door was made of special pressure-resistant glass.
You can directly see the seabed from the room!
Not only that, Sean saw that the seabed not far away was illuminated by specially set lights.
In the water illuminated by lights, there is an ancient three-masted sailboat that sank on the bottom of the sea.
The mast of the three-masted sailboat was broken, the hull was cracked, and it was filled with seaweed, coral and other sea creatures.
Time has covered it with sea sand and mud, blurring the outline of this ancient creation.
No one knows its name, and no one knows when it sank at the bottom of the sea.
But the builders of Ocean City discovered her.
As a result, her eternally silent figure became a beautiful scenery.
When this hotel was built, it was used as an iconic selling point.
The layout of the hotel seems to be a semicircle, including the restaurant and rooms, you can see this sunken ship that exudes ancient mysterious charm.
Olivia pressed her slender palms on the thick special glass and stared at the sunken ship illuminated by lights in the distance.
"She... is so beautiful." The alchemist girl whispered.
Olivia was silent all the way and did not attract the attention of others. Due to the influence of Naiya Shenyu, she seemed to turn into a shadow in the crowd. Now she spoke again, which made Sean feel a little nostalgic.
However, the ancient shipwreck still reminds Sean of the necklace that harvested countless souls...
And the ancient god hiding behind the necklace.
The bottom of the sea always made Sean a little uneasy. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I like it here!" Moonlight's voice sounded from the open door.
He walked quickly into Sean's room and pointed to the sunken ship in the distance: "This is so romantic, isn't it?
"Is it a treasure ship? Or a pirate ship? Or an expedition ship looking for a new world...
“I can think of a hundred stories about it!”
Staring at the sunken ship, the pianist's face regained its childlike expression of innocence and curiosity.
Thinking of the moonlight cursing out of disappointment in the lighthouse, Sean felt quite happy for his companion.
After putting his luggage away, Sean briefly washed up in the bathroom.
He made a point of tasting the water flowing from the brass faucet.
It's slightly salty.
"They have a way to desalinate seawater?"
After washing up, Sean raised his wrist and looked at the time.
He turned to Olivia and said, "It's almost time. Let's go to the restaurant to eat."
At this moment, his peripheral vision seemed to capture something, which made his scalp numb.
He seemed to see a figure standing on the deck of the sunken ship, looking over here...
When he looked intently, the figure disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Olivia stood up nervously.
Sean blinked and shook his head slightly: "It's okay..."
