Just like when I came to New York, the journey back was to take a train to San Francisco on the West Coast, and then take a ship back along the Pacific Northern Line.
This route doesn’t take too long, generally about three weeks is more than enough. Even if the Panama Canal is opened in the future, it will take a lot more time to board a ship from New York to Tianjin entirely by sea.
But Li Yu definitely didn't spend three weeks just staring at the sea. He had a lot to do. The open sea with rolling waves was a great way to write the second and third Star Wars films.
The main trilogy and prequel trilogy of Star Wars are the most famous. Historically, when the second installment of the Star Wars series was filmed, Lucas was no longer the director.
The director of the second part was replaced by Irvin Kershner, but it was he who made the most exciting part of the Star Wars main trilogy, "Star Wars: Episode II: The Empire Strikes Back."
I won’t go into details about the plot of Star Wars, but there are several famous aspects in the second film, such as the famous father joke.
When the villain boss Darth Vader said something to the protagonist Skywalker
"iamyourfather" was really shocking. This kind of big foreshadowing will definitely make people want to stop. If it is interrupted here, I am afraid that many readers in Europe and America will cross the Pacific to find him.
Fortunately, Li Yu had enough time to continue writing the third part of Star Wars on the ship. Of course, it is still a running account of a primary school student in writing, and Li Yu mainly writes about the plot.
If you want to create excellent science fiction, you have to rely on the talented Lu Bicheng. Even if you don’t remember the plot of the third movie, you must still remember the scene in the movie where Princess Leia is wearing a very sexy lingerie and is locked up as a maid by an alien monster.
I have to say that Kelly Fisher does have a good figure... The plot of the third part unfolded very quickly, and the fact that Princess Leia and Skywalker turned out to be siblings has become a super joke.
Sometimes there are father jokes, and now there are brother and sister jokes. The protagonist Skywalker is really enough.
"lucky. But in the end, Darth Vader suddenly returned to his father, and at the critical moment he rescued Luke Skywalker, even at the risk of his own life, and his image was suddenly erected. This became the biggest challenge in writing the prequel trilogy in the future. introduction.
After all, the mask is not taken off until the end, and there are so many stories hidden in the body, so there are many places to unfold.
Anyway, in the main trilogy, the poor protagonist Skywalker lost both his lover and his father, while Han Solo embraced the beautiful woman.
After finishing writing in one breath, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid of writing essays since he was a child. If it weren't for the long journey and nothing to do, it would really make him depressed.
sierra Xie Yuxi could not wait to see the follow-up content. Li Yu said with a smile: "It's still very rough now and can't be called a science fiction work at all." Xie Yuxi didn't take it seriously: "It's enough to see the direction of the story." No way, Li The emperor asked her to review the manuscript first.
Even if it is just a synopsis of the story, the charm of an excellent masterpiece that far exceeds the current level of science fiction cannot be concealed. Xie Yuxi said it was wonderful.
Li Yu hurriedly said to her: "Remember to keep it secret, it hasn't been released yet." Xie Yuxi raised his hand: "I swear to the Buddha that I will not leak a word." Li Yu asked her: "Don't Americans believe in Protestant Christianity?" Xie Yuxi He said matter-of-factly: "Do as the Romans do. Don't all Chinese people believe in Buddha?" Li Yu said: "That's hard to say. There are still people who believe in the Jade Emperor, the God of Wealth, the God of Earth, the longevity star, and the Wenquxing."
"Are they all gods?" Xie Yuxi asked.
"Yes," Li Yu said,
"It seems that you still need to continue to study Chinese culture in depth." Xie Yuxi asked: "Christianity has only one god, why are there so many gods in China?" Li Yu said: "China does not raise idle gods. The gods here all rely on incense. To worship, gods must prove that they are useful." Although Xie Yuxi learned a lot of Chinese culture from her grandmother since she was a child, since her whole family believes in Christianity, she has not been involved in religion.
Xie Yuxi continued to ask: "Gods are gods to begin with, why do you need to prove that you are useful?" Li Yu laughed: "Chinese people only worship gods when they have needs. What they worship is different at different times. Those who want to study worship Wenquxing, those who want children worship Guanyin, those who seek wealth worship the God of Wealth, and those who practice martial arts worship the Martial Saint. In short, they are all different." Xie Yuxi suddenly realized: "So that's what happened! It's not the same as Christianity at all."
"There are so many different places," Li Yu said,
"You grew up in Singapore, Nanyang. There are still many differences from mainland China." After the ship stopped in Yokohama, Japan for supplies, it set off again to Tianjin Tanggu Port.
Because Li Yu has done a lot of things in the United States this time, and has also obtained the qualification of a foreign academician of the Royal Society, plus many patents, domestic newspapers have already reported wildly.
As another little fan of Li Yu, Shi Liangcai always pays attention to the news on the other side of the ocean. Even if the information is not smooth, he will try his best to learn about American reports from the Times.
In later generations, it was easy to get news, but at the beginning of the 20th century, it really tested a reporter's level and communication skills.
This time Li Yu is completely blessed because he already has the position of foreign academician. When the ship arrived at the port, Tianjin Customs Department Tang Shaoyi personally came with people to greet Li Yu.
"Tang Daotai, I'll welcome you personally." Li Yu cupped his hands and said. Tang Shaoyi was in a good mood: "I have to come to greet you when you return home. You are a person who gives us a lot of face."
"Tang Daotai has a great reputation." Li Yu introduced Xie Yuxi again.
"This lady is Sierra, Xie Yuxi, from the Carnegie family. Mr. Carnegie invested 8 million US dollars to set up a fund to help improve our education." Tang Shaoyi had generally heard of these big chaebols in the United States and said hurriedly: " It's a pleasure to meet you. It's really admirable that you have such a broad mind!" Xie Yuxi smiled slightly and replied politely: "It is also fulfilling grandpa's wish." Li Yu said: "In addition, through the efforts of Ambassador Liang Cheng, The United States basically agrees with us to send international students to the United States again."
"Another great thing! Double happiness!" Tang Shaoyi was so excited that she didn't even want to smoke a cigar.
"You guys have really accomplished something incredible!" Li Yu said with a smile: "You can't go all this way in vain." Tang Shaoyi looked at Li Yu's head again and said, "You are not timid." Li Yu touched his head and joked: "It looks pretty, right?" Tang Shaoyi said: "It looks good, but I'm afraid..." Li Yu spread his hands: "It's also for convenience, otherwise it will hinder the view," Tang Shaoyi sighed: "Many recruits in our Beiyang Army have also cut their hair. This is indeed a general trend, but you are still a little too hasty. In a few days, when more people, especially the big shots, have their hair cut, it will not be too late for you to do it again." Li Yu knew that Tang Shaoyi was worried about his own safety, so he said, "Don't worry, Tang Daotai, nothing will happen." Tang Shaoyi put the cigar back to his mouth, took a deep breath and said, "Even if something happens, I will help you find a way. And I don’t think Marshal Yuan will just sit idly by." Li Yu handed over his hand again: "Thank you Tang Daotai." Tang Shaoyi was a more decisive person. Anyway, the matter was over, so he stopped worrying and turned to think about the next step.
"You are our benefactor in Beiyang. If you don't cause some trouble, we in Beiyang don't know how to thank you." Li Yu laughed and said, "Are you so anxious to repay your debt of gratitude?" Tang Shaoyi also smiled openly: "Such a small thing is not enough to repay. . Putting aside these things, I will prepare some wine in the restaurant to catch the wind and wash away the dust for you." In order to catch the train, Li Yu continued to the station after dinner and headed for the capital.
Fortunately, Tang Shaoyi bought the ticket long ago, which saved a lot of trouble. Li Yu's return to China and the news he brought back were quickly reported by newspapers.
Now there is a lack of a bright person to boost the nation's confidence. Li Yu is full of buffs and is the most suitable to be on the front page.
After Xie Yuxi arrives in the capital, she needs to arrange a hotel for her to stay. Xie Yuxi requested to be closer to the cultural center, so the Beijing Hotel was the most suitable.
This hotel is amazing. It's right at the intersection of East Chang'an Street and Wangfujing Street. It's in a great location. It only takes five or six minutes to walk to Tiananmen Square. You can often see it during military parades.
If we talk about hotels that ordinary people can enter, even a hundred years later, the Beijing Hotel can be regarded as the most prestigious in Beijing, let alone those foreign-funded high-end hotels, whether it is InterContinental, Marriott or Ritz-Carlton, in front of the Beijing Hotel They are both younger brothers, and they can overlook the Forbidden City from the rooftop of the Beijing Hotel.
It's easy for a rich person to find a five-star hotel in Beijing to hold a meeting, but if you hold a meeting in a Beijing hotel, you can brag about it for a lifetime.
This hotel was completed in 1900, but it was originally located in Dongjiaomin Lane and just moved to its new address in Wangfujing this year.
The hotel was built by the French. It is still an ordinary luxury hotel, but its level of luxury is among the highest in the capital.
In later generations, you can buy a ticket to enter the Forbidden City, but currently it is not so convenient to enter the Forbidden City. This is convenient for Xie Yuxi. After all, the first thing any foreigner wants to see when coming to China is the Forbidden City.
Standing on the top of the building and looking out, the Forbidden City of more than 700,000 square meters was extremely brilliant. This was the first time Xie Yuxi saw it with her own eyes. She couldn't help but sigh: "This is the heart of the mysterious oriental country! It's so majestic!" After settling her down, Li He then returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered Dongchang Hutong, Li Yu saw white cloth hanging on Ronglu's house next to his house. After entering the house, Uncle Wang, Zhao Qian and others immediately exclaimed: "Sir! You are back!" Li Yu was also very friendly when he saw them, and smiled: "Didn't I send the telegram a long time ago?" Feng Lingduan said The message in hand,
"They don't understand this thing at all. I have said it several times, but they just don't believe it. They think I am clairvoyant and have good ears." Li Yu said, "You should also learn more." With Li Yu's words , Fengling immediately began to scold the two of them: "Listen, I have said it myself. If you continue to be so uneducated, you will lose the face of the emperor's master!"
