Chapter 488 The Trip to the Beautiful Country II (for Subscription)

Perhaps because the aircraft is relatively large, the hardware conditions in the cabin are also significantly higher.

The few times before, Xu Qiu took a small domestic flight with a few rows of seats apart, so there was a lowered TV screen above his head, playing some "women's volleyball team won the championship", "the first flag-raising ceremony" and so on. Patriotic film.

And now the plane he is flying on has a smart computer that can be operated with buttons in front of each seat.

Xu Qiu fiddled with the smart computer for a while, and found that there were quite a lot of functions in it.

For example, you can view the route, view the real-time position of the aircraft, and view various parameters of the aircraft, including real-time altitude, external temperature of the aircraft, and so on.

In addition, the smart computer also has some built-in film and television drama resources, and you can watch some domestic and foreign movies and cartoons.

The film source is quite rich, Xu Qiu finally chose "Wolf Warrior", planning to watch it again during the voyage.

In addition to smart computers, international flights such as United Airlines can also purchase WIFI in the aircraft.

In terms of price, the whole journey is $16.99.

To be honest, the price is not very expensive.

Because the whole journey takes 12 hours in total, the average cost per hour is less than 1.5 US dollars, and now in domestic Internet cafes, it is rare to see an Internet fee of 1.5 US dollars per hour.

About five or six years ago, in the black Internet cafes that Xu Qiu went to when he was in high school, there were 1.5 yuan per hour, and there were even cheaper ones, such as one yuan per hour, and five yuan for overnight packages.

At that time, although Xu Qiu was not yet an adult, there was a temporary ID card in the Internet cafe that could be borrowed, so he occasionally escaped from evening self-study, or went to the Internet cafe to play DOTA on weekends. This may be the last time he went to Shanghai Comprehensive University with tears in his eyes. The reason for not being admitted to Tsingbei University.

Later, when Xu Qiu entered university and got his own laptop, he never went to an Internet cafe again. It is said that Internet cafes have been renamed "Internet cafes" now, and the price of Internet access has risen to around five yuan. on.

Although the WIFI in the machine is not expensive, Xu Qiu has no plans to buy it. The reason is probably similar to "playing games 648 can make as many orders as you like, but watching videos costs 10 or 20 yuan to become a member. Willing to".

Before takeoff, the stewardesses gave each passenger a blanket and a pair of wired earphones, which are mainly used with smart computers to prevent the sound from affecting other passengers.

However, the workmanship of this headset looks very cheap, and it is estimated that it belongs to the kind that the wholesale price in Yiwu is still too expensive.

But in any case, at least it can make a sound, and there is no leakage, and it can barely be used as a one-time use.

Afterwards, the flight attendants demonstrated to the passengers how to use seat belts, the emergency escape route in the cabin, how to use the air mask in an emergency, where to put the life jacket, etc.

Xu Qiu inflated two U-shaped pillows, hung one around the school girl's neck, and hung the other around his neck, and changed into slippers.

With the sound of "thump", the aircraft began to taxi.

"Thump", the plane entered the runway.

"Boom", the plane suddenly accelerated.

The familiar feeling of pushing back came over, probably because of the big plane, which was a little more stable than the small plane I was on before.

"Boom", the plane began to climb.

"Thump", the plane is running smoothly.

The aunts and stewardesses pushed the dining car and started to work, and soon they reached the row of seats where Xu Qiu and the others were seated.

"Excuse me, do you want fried shredded pork with radish, or hollow noodles with meat sauce?" The auntie stewardess smiled and was very polite.

Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying exchanged glances, and said tacitly, "A serving of hollow noodles with meat sauce, thank you." "I want stir-fried shredded pork with radish, thank you."

Each person gets two aluminum boxes, one of which is rice and the other is side dishes.

Xu Qiu opened the package of the lunch box, and first tasted his hollow noodles with meat sauce. The taste is indescribable...

Afterwards, he forked a piece of shredded pork from the school girl's lunch box, tasted it, and the taste was also indescribable...

It's not so much an airplane meal, it's better to say it's feed, and it's better to send some bread, salt-baked peanuts, and Shaqima like domestic flights.

However, if it is unpalatable, it is unpalatable, and you still have to bite the bullet, otherwise the next 12 hours will not be easy to survive.

Moreover, Xu Qiu felt that this plane meal was much better than the public dishes made in the cafeteria on the first floor of the Jiangwan campus, at least it was acceptable.

After the aunts and stewardesses delivered the meals, they pushed the drink carts.

There are more than a dozen types of beverages to choose from, including fruit juices, carbonated drinks, coffee, milk, and even beer.

Xu Qiu chose the fat house happy water, and the junior girl chose milk.

Next, the auntie stewardesses came in a few more waves. The third and fourth waves still delivered drinks, and the fifth wave collected all the garbage and gave everyone a bottle of mineral water.

Finally, after the auntie stewardesses finished their service, the lights inside the cabin began to go out.

However, the surroundings are not very quiet, mainly because of the presence of human cubs, and the hoarse roar of children can be heard from time to time.

Xu Qiu has taken a passenger bus, an ordinary green train, a high-speed train, a domestic flight, and now an international flight, and has deeply experienced the lethality of human cubs to other humans during the journey.

Relatively speaking, passenger buses and trains are fine. Although there is a chance of encountering human cubs, the probability of them screaming is not high.

But flying is different. Basically, every time you take a flight, you will encounter more than one human cub, and it may be because the human cubs are too young to adapt to the environment in the cabin, and the probability of them screaming is very high.

If you take a long-distance trip by public transportation, whether you can rest well on the vehicle depends on your luck.

Han Jiaying made preparations in advance. She took out the eye mask and earplugs, put them on, and began to rest.

Xu Qiu wasn't very sleepy, so he put on his earphones and decided to finish chasing "Wolf Warrior".

Two hours later, Xu Qiu finished chasing the show. At this time, the human cubs had probably exhausted their energy and stopped screaming, and the surrounding area finally became a lot quieter.

Before going to bed, Xu Qiu clicked on the smart computer, curiously checked the parameters of the current aircraft, and found that the current external temperature of the aircraft was actually around minus 45 degrees Celsius.

This somewhat overturned Xu Qiu's cognition. According to the usual impression, the outside temperature of the aircraft will be very high when it falls back to the ground from the outside. Therefore, the outer shell of the aircraft is usually made of high temperature-resistant materials.

However, on second thought, it is understandable.

According to the knowledge of middle school geography, the temperature will decrease by 0.6 degrees Celsius for every 100 meters increase in altitude.

The flying altitude of the aircraft is usually about 10,000 meters, and the temperature will drop by about 60 degrees Celsius compared to the ground.

At the same time, at the height of the aircraft, the air is relatively thin, so the heat generated by the friction between the aircraft and the air is not high, which may only increase the temperature of the fuselage by about 10 degrees Celsius.

All in all, it's pretty much the current situation.

Xu Qiu put on earplugs and an eye mask, and began to rest.

Halfway through, he woke up several times.

Once, Han Jiaying's head hit him on the shoulder, which woke him up directly, and I could hear the school girl next to me talking in sleep: "I want... I want, I want to post to CNS!", It made Xu Qiu laugh, it's quite inspirational.

Another time, it was Xu Qiu who felt the plane was violently turbulent, and vaguely heard the voice broadcast in the plane saying, "Passengers, our plane has obvious turbulence due to the influence of the air flow on the route. Please sit in your seat." Come on, fasten your seat belt, the restroom will be temporarily closed..."

After resting intermittently for five or six hours, Xu Qiu woke up. He didn't dare to sleep too much, because it happened to be the afternoon when he landed, and he was going to sleep again soon.

If I sleep too much now, it will be embarrassing if I can't fall asleep at night. Now that I sleep half full, it may be easier to get jet lagged.

Xu Qiu looked at the time, and it was estimated that he would arrive in Los Angeles in more than three hours.

He continued to read "Wolf Warrior 2". After watching "Wolf Warrior", he felt that Jing Jiang's acting skills were still very good.

Halfway through, the lights in the cabin came on, and the aunts and stewardesses pushed the dining car again and came out to work.

Han Jiaying was still asleep at first, she didn't know if she sensed something, her body bounced off the seat, but was restrained in place by the seat belt again.

The school girl took off the blindfold, rubbed her eyes, and the first thing she said was: "Brother, is dinner ready?"

"Hmm..." Xu Qiu rubbed the junior girl's hair, and teased, "You have a feeling."

Han Jiaying chuckled and uttered two words: "I'm hungry."

This meal was not as rich as the previous meal. It only had coarse grain bread and milk, which looked a bit like breakfast, but the taste was still stronger than the previous "dinner meal".

After breakfast, the stewardesses came over again and sent everyone a card, saying it was a beautiful country customs declaration form.

Xu Qiu had learned about this card from Tian Qing before.

A visa is a certificate that allows entry into other countries, and the entry card/customs declaration form will record the specific entry time and other information. When passing through the customs, you need to hand over the passport visa and the entry card/customs declaration form to the staff for verification. Sealed to pass.

In the past, entering the beautiful country not only required a customs declaration form, but also an entry card, which is the I94 form.

Since 2013, the I94 form of the entry card will be automatically generated by the computer when entering the customs, so it is no longer necessary to fill in manually, but the customs declaration form still needs to be filled in manually.

The beautiful country customs declaration form is in pure English and needs to be filled in English.

Specifically, there are name, phone number, nationality, the number of times you have come to the country of entry, the purpose of entry, the type of visa, the expected length of stay, whether the items you carry are prohibited from entering the country, the amount of cash you carry, which flight you will take on the day of the trip, and the return trip Which flight to take on which day.

The front is basic information, and the back is some very targeted questions, mainly to prevent biological invasion and tax evasion, including:

11. Things to carry include:

a. Fruit, plant, food or insect? ○Yes ○No

b. Meat, animal or animal/wildlife products? ○Yes ○No

c. Pathogens, cell cultures, or snails? ○Yes ○No

d. Soil or have you ever been on a farm or ranch? ○Yes ○No

12. Have you ever been close to, such as touching or touching wild animals? ○Yes ○No

13. Do you carry cash or property worth more than US$10,000 or foreign currency equivalent to US$10,000? ○Yes ○No

14. Carrying merchandise, including vending items, commercial samples, or anything not personally owned? ○Yes ○No

Xu Qiu and others truthfully filled in the previous information, and then 11-14, all put a "×" in front of no, but did not put a "√", which is considered to be doing as the Romans do.

The beautiful country is more honest, they will assume that people are kind, the customs will only conduct partial random inspections, and at the same time, the punishment for dishonesty is very high.

If you carry meat, but report it truthfully, it is generally not a big problem, and the meat will be confiscated at most;

But if you don’t report it truthfully, the result will be picked up by random inspection in the end. Confiscation is a trivial matter. If it is light, it will be fined, and if it is serious, it may be banned from entering the country, directly sent back to the country, or even detained.

The current situation of Pretty National Energy is mainly because they have carried out "honesty education" for a long enough time, and it has gone through several generations of inheritance and has become a part of the national culture.

However, domestic "integrity education" started relatively late, that is, in the past ten years.

Therefore, although there is now the term "Lao Lai", in fact, the punishment for dishonesty is not high in many cases.

For example, the phenomenon of touching porcelain often occurs nowadays. Even if those who touch porcelain are found out, they usually don’t have to pay any price. At most, they will be scolded.

For another example, becoming a "Lao Lai" is currently only limited to high consumption such as airplanes. The impact on some people can be said to be innocuous, including those who have never left the county town for a lifetime, and those who can fly private jets when traveling. .

Of course, there is no way.

In the final analysis, in fact, the development speed of florists is too fast, and there will be great changes almost every five or ten years, and a leap will be achieved.

If the current post-00s and post-10s are put back 30 years ago, they may not believe that the flower growers in the past are the same country as the current flower growers.

If the development is too fast, there will be many opportunities, but also many problems and challenges.

At the end of the last century, or at the beginning of this century, not to mention 100% of businessmen who were able to make a fortune from scratch, at least 80% had a not-so-glamorous history.

In that era, you couldn't make money by being honest. The darker your heart, the more you will take advantage of loopholes, and the more you will earn.

This is also very difficult for people nowadays to copy the old successful path of the older generation, because many of the loopholes they exploited in the past have been blocked now...

PS: Writing the plot of the beautiful country is actually quite tiring. I can usually write about 6,000 words in six hours, but now I can only write less than 4,000 words because I need to check a lot of information. Moreover, I know that many people don’t want to read it if it’s not enjoyable, but I don’t want to skip it. I want to reproduce my experience. After all, it’s almost the end of the book, so let’s be willful for a while.
