Knocking on the door of Pupil Art in Yuanshen

Xinzhou.

It is a continent located in the northwest of the ancient country. Speaking of this place in ancient times, the first impression given to people was desolation, and then the vastness. This vastness can be measured to the area of ​​​​a county, which is close to the entire territory of the once-mighty British Empire.

area.

Secondly, the variability of topography and climate is also a major feature of the Northwest. There are desolate Gobi deserts, rapid rocky rivers, and far away mountains covered with ice and snow.

In this complex and magnificent Xinzhou, you can appreciate the magical and rugged nature and the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Wusu is a typical example of change. Its northern part is the Junggar Basin, a considerable part of which is semi-desert, and its central part is the transition zone between the basin and the mountains. Sometimes the vertical drop can reach as high as two adjacent small areas.

Tens of hundreds of meters.

Further to the south are the snow-covered Tianshan Mountains, which sounds incredible, but if Wusu, as a county-level city, covers an area half the United Kingdom, it doesn't seem too unbelievable.

However, Zhaoyue came here not for the natural scenery, but to transfer to Soviet Russia.

The relationship between the ancient country and Soviet Russia has gone through the Cold War period. Nowadays, there are very few domestic trains that go directly to the Soviet Union, and even fewer are related to the Golichina family who took the line with Zhaoyue.

Autumn has arrived, and the Wusu climate, which has a temperate continental climate, is getting cooler. Especially in the northwest, where there is a huge temperature difference between day and night, frost can occur in the evening and early morning.

The cool evening breeze blew through the streets, passing by every passerby, causing them to tighten their shirts and continue walking in a hurry.

Standing under the streetlight in front of the hotel, Zhaoyue was wearing a simple peaked cap, her hair was in a simple ponytail, and she was wearing white casual clothes with black edges.

The only difference between him and the foreign backpackers is that he didn't bring any salutes with him, as if he just went out of interest to endure the cold under the street lamp and drink the cool northwest wind.

His eyes kept scanning the street corners, like a radar searching for enemies. Finally, not long after, he waited for the person who came to rescue him.

Two beams of bright lights shone from the street to the end of the street. Compared with the dim street lights, they were simply not worth mentioning.

From a distance, I thought it was a spotlight, but soon, a black car with a high hood stopped in front of Zhaoyue, and two beams of light came from its headlights.

It was a Volga, the pride of the Soviet industrial era. It was sold well in many countries, and was even imported into China in large quantities. It was once the official car of many countries.

But now, it is rarely seen in the country.

"Yes, Mr. Zhaoyue?" The car window was rolled down, revealing the face of a blond Russian. He spoke fluent Chinese and showed a hearty smile.

"That's me." Zhaoyue opened the passenger door and got in.

"You look really young," he looked Zhaoyue up and down, nodded, and began to introduce himself.

"I'm here to pick you up. My name is Florent. I come from the Golichina family, and also from... the Soviet Union." When he mentioned his family, his words were still firm, but when he mentioned that he should have

Although he is a proud country, he is somewhat lacking in confidence.

But the next moment he realized his gaffe and immediately showed an apologetic smile. It seemed that the situation in the Soviet Union was no longer optimistic, at least at the top level.

"I will put you on the T-107 train. It is the only cross-border train that goes directly to Moscow. It is only open to invited VIPs."

"Directly to Moscow?" According to Zhaoyue's memory, trains with this kind of transportation distance should not be available now. Even twenty or thirty years later, trains often entering Russia and heading to Moscow will need to go through multiple transfer stations.

"...I understand your concerns," he took out a military officer's ID card. This foreign man with big eyes turned out to be a major officer of the Red Army.

"Please believe in me and my family."

"..." Zhaoyue nodded, he knew the power of the Golicina family.

In the Red Army, they have many general-level figures, mainly focused on military scientific research.

Among them, the old General Golichina is a general, but his time is running out and he has no successor. When the time comes, the Golichina family may have to give up a lot of interests.

But this is not something he cares about. Since he can reach Moscow directly, he has no objection.

We arrived at the station quickly, and we could still hear the roar of steam engines in the distance. These steel behemoths speeding on the railway were actually old products that had been phased out.

But here in the northwest, there are very few new trains, and more of them are these long black snakes that puff out white smoke.

It was night, and the understaffed station had stopped many functions. Even the lights were mostly turned off. Even when passing by the dark waiting hall, the loud cries of homeless people could be heard through the thin glass.

Walking through the darkness, I walked to a ticket window that was lit all night. Sitting inside was a Russian woman. She was already very sleepy and yawning. She even made no concealed footsteps as the two approached.

Notice.

"Dong dong!" Florent knocked on the glass. When the Russian woman came to her senses, he pointed at Zhao Yue, who was a little higher than the counter next to him.

"This time's distinguished guest."

He explained his purpose in the shortest possible words. It was obvious that the Russian woman had been notified in advance. She quickly picked up the phone and started calling someone who looked like a flight attendant.

"Sir! The arrangements have been made." After putting down the phone, she said in a reporting tone.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, comrade." Florent nodded, turned to Zhaoyue and said, "Now I will introduce to you the plan to invite you to participate."

"Are you coming too?"

"There is nothing we can do about it... After all, I am the only one in the family who knows the inside story, and I am considered the temporary person in charge."

"temporary?"

"Actually, I only found out about Project Delta recently, and it's all thanks to you."

He looked bitter, thinking that coming to an ancient country to be a special envoy was not a satisfactory job.

"I actually can't go into too many details about Project δ. It was a project that was initiated at the beginning of the founding of the Republic and started to be implemented thirty years ago."

"Although this plan is supported by the family, the state also provides a lot of help, so it is also subject to state supervision."

"The external claim is to establish the country's largest gene bank. In fact, it is indeed about genetic research, but the project it is researching is actually related to the secret of the "dragon". The details are still waiting for the person in charge there, Herzog.

Dr. Ge will explain it to you."

"Here we are, let me introduce to you the cross-country train, T-107, which is only open to mysterious guests."

Florent stood in front of the platform. Behind him was a steam train that protruded more than four meters from the platform. Under the pale light, there were nearly twenty green carriages. At the front was a train with a "chimney" on its head.

dark locomotive.
