"P01T1455W7854 has arrived." Lorraine's voice was calm and orderly. Huang Xuan shook his numb feet and jumped out of the white light. Followed by Chu Yining.
Lorraine's ability was not enough to allow Huang Xuan to step out of the P plane, and this was exactly what Chu Yining wanted. She did not open the energy screen, but still called the base.
Compared to Yasuo's slowness, Chu Yining's Mika was extremely fast and connected to her in just the blink of an eye. Huang Xuan was only envious for a moment, and then became nervous again.
When you are with this woman, even if she is as beautiful as a flower, you will always feel uneasy. In other words, whenever you stand with a woman as beautiful as a flower, you will feel uneasy.
Huang Xuan asked Lorraine softly: "Where are we?"
"Venice in the 15th century, we are now on a lagoon on the Adriatic Sea, with a plane similarity of 7%." Lorraine said and added: "You can stay for 8 days."
Chu Yining also noticed the rhythmic waves here, frowned and said, "What's going on here?"
Huang Xuan actually knew nothing except that Venice belonged to Italy and was a legendary water city. He asked, "Don't you know your plane base?"
"This is the territory of the Green Pine Family. The Administration rarely comes here. In fact, if some plane bases were not discovered in the R plane, this place would be a desert."
Just like when Lu Min and others arrived in the Three Kingdoms era for the first time, they knew very little about the P plane. Huang Xuan said nonchalantly: "Then just follow me."
He said, opening the energy screen and looking around, leaving Chu Yining looking around.
Neither of them used the plane base to scan the entire plane, which would consume too much energy. In fact, most travelers only scan the plane channels. Only travelers who focus on a certain item will use the overall For a function like scanning, if too many targets are selected, the huge amount of information will make a scan meaningless.
Huang Xuan turned around and asked Lorraine: "Where are the people nearby? How far away are they?"
"There are many people gathering just kilometers to the north." Lorraine quickly replied: "The relative similarity here is 81%. A lot of the information you see can be used."
Huang Xuan nodded understandingly, and while looking towards the north and walking forward, he casually chatted with Chu Yining: "What is the general purpose of the administration's plane travel?"
"Understand the local culture, background and history. It is rare to obtain Nengton and resources." Chu Yining said without hiding anything: "But we rarely travel through planes, most of the time we still do it to capture travelers. The Authority pursues broader plane autonomy rather than plane colonization.”
The gravel near the beach was very sharp, so Chu Yining added an energy shield to herself, and then walked confidently and boldly. When she encountered a slightly wider place, she jumped over it - of course with the help of energy output. She even split the entire boulder blocking the road, and then used her energy to block the flying dust and gravel.
This method of traveling in a straight line is faster, but the price makes Huang Xuan stunned. Even if Chu Yining's plane base consumes less, compared to such a far distance in the desert of time and space, 10 times the loss is the smallest. It is estimated that just now, the high energy output displayed on the energy screen was as much as 0.5 thermal pounds. In other words, on the 1-kilometer journey, Chu Yining used up 5,000 energy circles. Including losses, it was worth 50,000 energy circles. Even for an aircraft carrier, she did not have to spend fuel alone.
Huang Xuan was reluctant to give up and didn't have so much energy available, so his speed quickly slowed down. Chu Yining smiled apologetically, paused, and then picked up the speed again.
It seems that she doesn't care about such consumption at all. Fortunately, they could soon see the houses on the horizon, and the two people immediately slowed down.
Huang Xuan reflected on himself secretly. He had just asked a stupid question. If he were a normal Rongguang person, he would probably not ask "the purpose of your trip." He didn't know how to make up for it, so he could only keep silent.
After finding a flatter place, Xiao Huang took out the modifyable clothes that he had prepared before, and then modified them to look like Lorraine had brought them from the opposite side. As for Chu Yining, her clothes seemed to be able to automatically The changing appearance was much more advanced than Huang Xuan's. During the modification, she also darkened her face to make the color less obvious.
The two people packed up and just moved forward. When they reached the distance where people could hear people's voices, two guys dressed as farmers saw Huang Xuan and Chu Yining. Probably because of their skin color, one of them shouted: "Where are you from? Come."
Huang Xuan didn't know if there were any Chinese businessmen coming and going at this time, so he waved his hand and replied: "Coming from the East."
In the 15th century, Venice began its most prosperous period. With the victory in the War of Chioggia, Venice eradicated its biggest enemy in the Mediterranean, Genoa, and Florence also defeated Venice's long-term rival in the early 14th century. , Pisa, so from 180, 70 years before Huang Xuansuo arrived, Venice established its maritime commercial hegemony.
During this period, musk, porcelain, silk and cloves from the East were the favorite things of European merchants.
The Merchant of Venice written by Shakespeare is talking about this wonderful oppressive time for merchants. According to the book, in the budding period of capital, there were no international police, no international conventions, no control of contraband, few customs, and of course no antitrust laws.
Against this background, the Venetians were the first to invent transparent glass and sell it all over the world. They built the largest shipyards and arsenals in the entire world and monopolized trade between the East and the West for two centuries.
The power of Venice can be explained in two ways: the Crusades that began in the 11th century were able to persist for 2000 years, not because the British were pious, nor because the Germans were martial, but because of several commercial enterprises such as Venice. The city's demands are precisely because they have repeatedly loaned and donated money to these countries to support such large-scale military operations. After the Fourth Crusade, the Republic of Venice, as the most powerful country in Italy, monopolized trade with Eastern countries and seized many important trade and military locations from Byzantium.
In addition, another measure of Venice's wealth is that her fiscal revenue in the early 15th century exceeded 1.5 million gold ducats (each ducats contained .55 grams of pure gold, nearly 1/8 ounce) per year. number. In modern terms, it is worth approximately US$85 million. People in the Ming Dynasty said that "the world's taxes and grains are 27 million dan". Although it cannot be converted into today's price, it is in a similar category to 1.5 million gold daka.
Therefore, when the 15th century came, Venice had become the largest city in Italy and even Europe - with 100,000 residents.
At this time, one in 100,000 residents of Venice, a peasant, decided to hand over Huang Xuan and Chu Yining to a policeman. Since the 15th century, roughly starting from the eight-person Security Council in Florence, the police agency has been for every 150 people. -00 residents assign a police officer, a dangerous and dirty profession. The former is because the police in this era are still a support force of the army and often have to participate in inter-city defense and fight side by side with mercenaries, while the latter is caused by their social image of corruption and dereliction of duty.
It is no exaggeration to say that the police in the 15th century were just a ragtag group of social dregs.
Huang Xuan didn't know the police gentlemen in Venice, but he didn't think he should be brought into the police station by a guy who might be a farmer or unemployed. He turned to look at Chu Yining, who was painted black, thought for a moment, and said in Chinese within the scope of politeness: "How do you usually deal with such problems?"
One Venetian in a hundred thousand shouted: "Stop talking, damn it, can you understand what I'm saying? I'm going to send you to my cousin, and then you'll be waiting to live in prison." Bar."
Chu Yining shook her head funny and said: "Let's leave."
Chu Yining, whose skin was dyed dark, could still see the perfect outline of her face, and the sudden blooming made the Venetians stunned. Following the liquid left behind, Huang Xuan understood why he was treated so differently. It seems that beauty's travels have not always been smooth sailing.
Walking behind a house with a statue of the Virgin carved on it, Huang Xuan saw that there was no one around, and suddenly kicked the Venetian. The latter may have underestimated Huang Xuan's figure, and was kicked down without warning. on the wall.
"Knock him out." Huang Xuan said to Lorraine.
After dealing with the Venetian, Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and asked: "Now there are two choices, St. Mark's Square or San Giacomo Square."
Chu Yining picked up her blown hair with her hands and asked elegantly: "What's the difference?"
Huang Xuan only glanced at her, then quickly turned around and said: "Near St. Mark's Square, there are the most important municipal construction parts in Venice, including the library you may like. And San Giacomo Square is a There are many businessmen gathering in the commercial square.”
When Chu Yining heard the word library, she looked at Huang Xuandu with some confusion and said, "Do you agree that I go to the library here?" (To be continued)
