Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

As time passed, the music stopped, and Helter looked at Maggie beside him and smiled.

"how do you feel?"

Maggie pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's pretty good. This place doesn't seem to be as backward as the rumors say. On the contrary, it is very technologically advanced."

Of course Helt knew that when they came down, they detected a lot of floating robots. Such technology would not be possible if the technology was backward. The most important thing is that these floating robots rely on electromagnetic force to float in the air. , because no energy substances were detected.

The game started when they got off the spaceship. Helt and Nigel had discussed some things on the spaceship. At this time, Helt looked at Le Xiao with a happy face.

It is indeed as confusing as the information. She does not look like the kind of aloof genius, and she does not have any aura on her body. If she were placed among passers-by, she would be just an ordinary woman. There is no way to tell that she lives in a certain place. People in high positions.

On the contrary, the other senior officials of Brilliant City are all very powerful. As a soldier, Hert can feel an aura of resoluteness and courage from them. Such a city is indeed admirable.

But there was one thing that was difficult for Hert to understand. The city was not as bright and beautiful as it appeared on the surface, because when they came over, they had overlooked the city from a high altitude. In addition to the middle and upper floors of the city, the lower outer ring There are many low and dilapidated places.

This is different from Tianji Space Country, because everyone in Tianji Space Country is very rich, and everyone is supported by at least 3 clones, so most people are very rich, although the gap between rich and poor is still huge. But the people at the bottom still live a very comfortable life.

Hult was looking forward to the first stop today. He took a look at the brightly lit places around him and felt that the first stop should be to a more developed place.

At 5:59, everyone stopped talking and stared at the night sky quietly. At this time, Le Xiao reminded.

"Please keep your eyes closed for a moment."

Le Xiao looked at the few people around him and felt that they looked quite normal and easy to get along with. This reception should be a lot easier.

Nigel blinked subconsciously. At 6 o'clock, the lights in the whole city went out. With a fierce red light, the bright city was dyed blood red in an instant.

Everyone closed their eyes, and then after feeling the red fade, Hert opened his eyes. He looked at the sun in the sky in shock. There was applause all around, and Hert also kept clapping.

Nigel laughed.

"It's really amazing. Nuclear fusion is controllable and has been operating for hundreds of years."

Everyone in the mission looked at the sun in disbelief. Nigel stretched out his hands and felt the warmth of the sun. It was exactly the same as the light enjoyed every day in space. Such technology is shocking.

And this technology appeared more than 100 years ago.

"Okay everyone, let's go to the embassy now."

Le Xiao made a gesture of invitation, and soon a human wall composed of five departments blocked a road directly leading to the embassy. Looking at the beautifully decorated exterior walls and the ability to be in such a sunny commercial area, , both Hert and Nigel were satisfied, and they expressed their gratitude to Le Xiao.

The group of people came to the door of the embassy in a mighty manner. At this time, the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the door was ready, Locke said.

"This distinguished guest, after the tailoring ceremony is over, Secretary Le Xiao will lead everyone to visit the Brilliant City and introduce some things about the Brilliant City. We are temporarily unable to accompany him."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Manager!"

Hurt said, and Nigel continued.

"Thank you all."

The two people with the envoys bowed slightly, and then the ribbon-cutting ceremony began. Nigel and Hert stood in the middle, Le Xiao stood on the left, and Locke stood on the right. The four of them lost their ribbons, and the sky instantly Strings of colorful ribbons of light appeared in the sky, floating slowly.

Hert's sharp eyes saw that this was not a virtual image but a real thing, and then said.

"This is the light and shadow technology of Brilliant City, Lord Le Xiao."

Le Xiao stretched out her hand suspiciously, but failed to catch the ribbon, Locke said hurriedly.

"Yes, this is our light and shadow technology."

At this time, Michelle came over and patted Le Xiao on the back. Le Xiao turned around quickly and said.

"First of all, please check in and choose your room temporarily, and change into some civilian clothes."

A bunch of female staff from the General Affairs Department carried boxes in, and everyone also entered the building and went directly upstairs from a large elevator in the middle.

Soon they arrived at the floor where they were located. As soon as they entered, there was a large and elegant living room. People from the general affairs department were already waiting for them, Le Xiao said.

"The people from the General Affairs Department will be here to help everyone get familiar with the lighting equipment for a few days. If you have any needs, you can contact them. They live on the floor below."

As soon as they entered, everyone looked around. The people from the General Affairs Department began to show the people in the mission how to use the light and shadow equipment. Hert and Nigel tried it respectively, and they still find it incredible to this day.

All this was too surprising for everyone, especially the clothes. A woman's exclamation came from a large room on the left. Helt probably knew that the clothes were also made of light and shadow materials.

Then everyone selected rooms. All rooms are independent, just to the right of the large living room. After entering, each room is 60 square meters. The furniture is all made of light and shadow materials. You can just adjust it out when needed.

"See you later, Secretary Le Xiao."

Nigel said, Le Xiao nodded and made a gesture of invitation, and everyone returned to their respective rooms, preparing to take a shower first, and then use the assigned light and shadow bracelets to choose their own clothing combinations on the light and shadow screen.

This also surprised Hert. Entering the room, Maggie excitedly followed the operation just now, opened a light and shadow screen, touched it lightly with her finger, and she said in surprise.

"Helt felt like he was tapping the water."

Helt also tried it, and it really seemed to be clicking on the water surface. The operation was very smooth. Looking at the dazzling array of clothes in a clothing store, Maggie jumped up with joy.

Helt entered the bathroom first, and after setting the temperature, he soon stood comfortably under the shower. Maggie also walked in, and the two started washing together.

“It always feels like it’s better than where we live.”

Hurt nodded. Indeed, where they live, there is always dark space outside the windows. Even in the lunar base, there are only a few places that look fresher. Everything in this place is too fresh for them. .

Nigel, who was in the room at this time, was hugging his wife Carol and choosing clothes, Carol said.

"Bring your sons and daughters over after a while. You have to work here for a long time."

Nigel nodded.

"Let's talk in a few months. Honey, I think this one suits you just fine."

At this time, in the hall, Le Xiao looked at the dishes that were served. The people from the 2nd department took the tester to test to make sure that there was no problem with every dish. Le Xiao swallowed, although she had eaten steamed buns in the morning, but now Really hungry.

7 o'clock sharp.

Everyone in the mission came out of the room one after another. The men were all wearing black or gray suits, but the styles were different, while many of the women were wearing skirts. There were three women who were also dressed in suits and did not wear any skirts or women's clothing. .

Wu Lei looked at these three people. They had sharp eyes. They should be the confidants of Helt and Nigel. Everyone was sitting in the large restaurant on one side. Le Xiao greeted everyone to sit down.

The breakfast is very rich, Wu Lei explained.

"In order to take care of your stomachs that have not eaten meat for a long time, the portion of meat is a little smaller. Once your stomach gets used to it, you can enjoy it."

"Grateful."

Helt stood up and said that there were pasta and some fried things for breakfast, which tasted sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. During this period, Helt and Nigel asked about the status of some dishes, and Le Xiao also answered while eating.

Everyone can happily eat such a meal, Helt asked at this time.

"Your Excellency Le Xiao, I wonder where you are going today?"

Le Xiao said.

"Go to District 118, my home. It may be a bit old, but I just want you to see what the real Brilliant City is like."

Everyone in the mission clapped their hands, and soon at 8 o'clock, everyone was planning to set off, but not by elevator, but by subway.

When they came to the hall, reporters rushed over. There would be an interview. Herter and Nigel answered some questions in a relaxed and natural manner.

At this time, Mo Xiaolan, who was opposite the embassy, ​​was chewing a piece of gum and smiled.

"It's really watertight. Many questions are answered incorrectly."

R laughed from the side.

"It seems that these two people are quite smart."

Le Xiao said.

"Of course, their lifespan can reach 100 years at most. The years of young adults are very short. It is not easy for people to be in high positions in just ten or twenty years. Don't think that they are younger than us, so we should look down on them. ."

R nodded and laughed.

After a brief interview, everyone entered the subway station. Next to the special train that had been prepared, the people from Section 5 opened the door.

After everyone entered, Le Xiao said what to do after sitting down, because the subway was very fast, and it would only take up to 20 minutes to go to District 118 from here.

As the subway door closed, Helt raised his head in contentment, and Maggie beside him was always smiling, because this kind of seat is very comfortable, and the light and shadow seats can be adjusted according to personal conditions.

It is certain that the AI ​​here is already quite advanced.

After the subway started, Hurt held his pocket watch, looked at the pointer and then measured the speed. It was indeed very fast, and he couldn't feel any bumps. The magnetic levitation technology was also good.

In just twenty minutes, the subway arrived at the station. As soon as the envoys got out of the subway, they were warmly welcomed. As soon as they got on the platform, both Hert and Nigel felt that this place was different from before. Where they came from was worlds apart.

Many houses look old, and the streets are a little dilapidated, but they are relatively clean. The clothes worn by many people around also look a bit old, and the styles are not new. There are cheers all around, and several department officials will come over immediately. ,kind greeting.

Wu Lei and some other directors from the General Affairs Section introduced this place to the people in the mission.

"Your Excellency Le Xiao, I would like to ask if the economy of the people here is not very good."

Nigel asked, and Le Xiao did not cover up.

"It is true that this place used to be a slum area and was very poor. However, with recent construction going on outside the city, the economy of this place has improved a lot."

There were people everywhere on both sides of the street. A group of people marched slowly on the street. Le Xiao introduced some snack bars on the street to the two of them.

Hult also looked around. Although many houses were old, they seemed to have some connections for light and shadow equipment. This place was not as shabby as it seemed on the surface.

Nigel always kept a smile and asked questions from time to time. He was full of doubts because he didn't know why the first place he visited was a slum.

However, the two of them also noticed that the people in the administrative department had a strong sense of order. They could tell by looking at the people standing guard on the street and some hidden administrative officers in the crowd. This was what the administrative department did on a daily basis.

Everyone was walking along the street when Le Xiao saw a stinky tofu shop and hurriedly pulled everyone over and said.

"Would you like some? The stinky tofu here is delicious."

Everyone in the envoy nodded, but the smell was indeed unbearable. Although there were records in their country, there was no such thing in their space.

Several plainclothes officers from Section 2 walked in and went directly to the kitchen. Le Xiao ordered 25 portions, and everyone sat or stood waiting at the door of the store.

"Your Excellency Le Xiao, this stinky tofu tastes really special. I have only heard of it before, but today I tried it for the first time."

Le Xiao smiled.

"Maybe it tastes a bit pungent."

Nigel tasted a small piece, and the reporters outside took pictures frantically. Soon Nigel realized that the stinky tofu tasted really good, but it didn’t smell very good, but it tasted very unique in his mouth. , quite delicious.

Wu Lei was chatting with several women on the side. After they tried it, they were still able to accept it. He was a little panicked at this time. He didn't expect that the envoys would take them to eat stinky tofu as soon as they arrived. It would be 9 o'clock.

Time passed by, and after everyone ate, they all praised it. Some reporters started to interview, and then everyone continued walking along the street. Le Xiao made some ice powder to relieve the heat.

Nigel gave a thumbs up. This ice powder looks like jelly, but it is not jelly. It is softer than jelly. It has some seasonings and the sweetness is not bad.

At this time, everyone came to the cinema under construction. The basic construction outside had been completed and it looked very good. Everyone walked into the square and Le Xiao introduced it to everyone.

Nigel said he wanted to go in and take a look. The people from Section 5 went in first, asking the people inside to stop working first, and then started to look around to confirm.

"Yes, we just want to enjoy a movie tonight."

Le Xiao smiled.

"No problem, what do you want to see?"

Nigel said.

"Just the video that Mr. Le Xiao likes the most."

Wu Lei's eyes widened and he suddenly felt a pain in his forehead. He wanted to remind Le Xiao, but it was too late, because Le Xiao's favorite thing to watch was a thriller and horror movie, the kind that could scare people into fainting.
