The progress of the empire cannot be separated from anyone.
Especially young people.
In the main star of Daxia, the most important city is Dadu in the central area.
If we want to say who is second, it is naturally Dongdu, which is more than 3,000 kilometers away from Dadu.
Dongdu is a wonderful city, surrounded by the sea, and the climate is obviously different from that of land cities.
And unlike Dadu, which is the political center of Daxia, the style here is mainly traditional.
Although urban planning is still full of technology, ancient buildings are commonly seen, located everywhere, and there are many vertical and horizontal sightseeing routes in the city.
In addition, the largest amusement park in the Daxia Empire was built here, covering an area of 16 square kilometers. Almost all imaginable entertainment facilities can be enjoyed here.
Well, no surprise, the symbol of this amusement park is still an animal, a naive mouse.
Another point is that the urban area with the most universities and colleges is also Dongdu, so Dongdu is the second most important city in Daxia, because the young people here are the future of Daxia.
In a shopping street in Dongdu.
A group of lively girls were laughing and chatting in the restaurant.
They are members of the entertainment club. They have just watched a movie together about bears fighting aliens and are discussing the highlights...
"It's amazing. I originally thought this was a political film to please the higher-ups, but it turned out to be surprisingly good-looking."
"Yes, the public has been very excited about Daxia's defeat of other empires recently. A bunch of entertainment companies are trying their best to produce such works. I'm sick of seeing it."
"I think this movie is pretty good. It rarely discusses environmental issues. I heard that the domestic mining industry has become more serious recently."
"I have the best say on this point. My uncle's company is recruiting people vigorously. It is said that there are so many orders now that they can't be completed..."
"No, aren't we discussing cultural and entertainment issues? Why are we talking about state affairs? Don't forget that we haven't finished our thesis yet."
One of them looked at the girl sitting by the window and asked curiously: "Anri, what's wrong with you? You don't talk much today?"
Everyone also looked at the girl, a little curious.
Anri Matsuyama turned around and smiled, "No, I'm just thinking about something."
"Aren't we discussing the plot? Keep going. I don't have time to help you this time. I'm busy with the meeting."
The girls wailed.
"Ah, I'm so envious of you. I gave you a free pass right away."
"The gap between people is wow..."
They soon started laughing and chatting again, and it wasn't until more than an hour later that they gradually dispersed, leaving only Matsuyama Anri alone.
Anri Matsuyama was sitting in front of the window, thinking about something.
She has been in some trouble lately.
Whether it's academic, work, or emotional...
"Senior...where will you go?"
She murmured, then blinked, and suddenly saw a person walking on the street outside the window.
Matsuyama Anri was a little surprised. She picked up her backpack and walked out the door to say hello.
"Hazuki-senpai!"
The man turned his head, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his peaceful smile that made people look at her.
"Ah, it turns out to be senior Anri, why are you here?"
Anri Matsuyama quickly stepped forward, touched her head and said with a smile: "I just finished a seminar with my friends and I saw you."
Hazuki showed such an expression, and Anri asked curiously: "Where is Hazuki-senpai planning to go?"
"Well, I heard a kind of music recently. I heard that there is a place that sells rare original demos, so I planned to go and check it out."
Hazuki smiled and replied that she also liked this junior.
Anri nodded, "I see, then...it's not convenient for us to come together. I'm also curious about what kind of music senior likes to listen to."
"That's okay, it's still being released as a trial version, maybe you'll like it." Ye Yue didn't refuse and started walking with Anri.
Head towards Central Park.
But after a while, it started to rain.
Dongdu is surrounded by the sea, so showers are common, and the falling rain also adds a touch of charm to the city.
"Ah, why is it raining..." Ye Yue frowned. It was sunny just now, but now it's raining.
"It's okay, Hazuki-senpai, I brought an umbrella."
Anri Matsuyama took out a small device from her bag and unfolded it into the shape of a traditional umbrella.
"I still prefer this kind of traditional object. I hope seniors don't mind."
Matsuyama Anri apologized, but Hazuki didn't mind and smiled slightly, "You are quite thoughtful."
The two of them held the umbrella together, and the raindrops fell on the ground, and then quickly submerged into the ground and entered the drainage system.
The sound of wind blew over the girl's ears, making them turn slightly red.
The rain seemed not to fall on the ground, but to drip into the girl's heart, making it beat a little faster.
Soon, while chatting, the two walked into the forest park, and the green scene was refreshing.
Not long after, a three-story cafe appeared in front of them.
This cafe is a recently built comprehensive cafe invested and built by the cross-regional company LAB to support various cultural and entertainment services.
After entering, you can see people in twos and threes talking about things or reading books, and the literary atmosphere hits your face.
"I didn't expect there to be such a building here. Senior Hazuki, you really know how to find a place." Anri Matsuyama praised.
Ye Yue smiled, "I was also introduced by an old friend."
"You find a place to sit down, and I'll take down the original disk."
"OK."
After Hazuki left, Anri Matsuyama wandered around the coffee tube, finally sat down on a seat and ordered two classic drinks.
After a while, Ye Yue returned with an original album-like disc and a set of listening equipment.
This is a set of music equipment that can listen to the original disc. Compared with the convenience of wireless playback, some people still like this way of playback.
In today's era, copyright has been fully implemented. Every song and every movie is engraved in a personal copyright library, and piracy is basically impossible.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Daxia's strong support, which makes copyright fees very cheap and promotes the flow of cultures.
"I'm sorry, because I don't know senior's taste, so I ordered a macchiato for you without permission."
After Hazuki took her seat, Matsuyama Anri said a little embarrassed.
Ye Yue didn't care, "It's okay, I like Macchiato too. Come on, listen to this new song. I believe it will surprise you."
"good."
Insert the original disk and connect the cable to the device.
Both of them put on their headphones, and the music reached their ears.
Ye Yue closed her eyes and admired it silently. This kind of music called vapor wave was indeed much more interesting than imagined.
Compared to Hazuki's calmness, Matsuyama Anri's feelings were much deeper.
As the revolving strings played, a lazy female voice came slowly, coupled with the sound of rain outside, it made people feel as if they were high in the sky in the city, dancing in the wind.
"This... this music is amazing!"
For some reason, Anri Matsuyama's worries disappeared, and many things she couldn't figure out suddenly had new ideas.
She glanced at Hazuki, then closed her eyes like her, silently enjoying the song.
Anri Matsuyama originally wanted to say some important words to Hazuki-senpai, but at this moment, it seemed good to just be immersed in the music together.
And not far above.
A woman looked at the two people below, picked up her coffee and took a sip.
In front of her was a man who was reading a paper.
"Qiao Tianzhi is really willing to open such a cafe in Central Park."
"But this music is quite interesting. Where did Qiao Tianzhi study it?"
The man paused while reading the paper and coughed lightly, "Who knows, why don't you ask him..."
The woman smiled at him and said nothing more.
And she is the chief scientist of the Daxia Empire, Kristina.
The man is a rising star scientist named LUN, Allen.
Today is a holiday, and at the invitation of their friend Qiao Tianzhi, the two of them came here to feel the atmosphere.
The two of them just sat here quietly.
Alan continued to study the paper.
Tina held the coffee and watched the people coming and going below, and the sound of rain outside the window became thicker.
After she glanced at Allen, she picked up the coffee and took another sip.
This is a cappuccino.
The first thing your lips touch is the dense foam, then the slightly bitter and slightly sour taste, and finally the mellow and sweet aftertaste.
Some people say that this is the taste of love.
