When Wen Desi went to Shanghai, of course he would not use the extremely painful method at this time, which would take at least half a month.
He used an ATV he had in the garage.
The reason why he only went to contact people in this time and space on the fourth day after traveling was that in addition to making bionics and gathering intelligence, he was also repairing the two all-terrain vehicles.
After 2 days of hard work, one car was finally repaired.
Later, when they went to Neijiang, they took this car.
This "Antelope 670" all-terrain vehicle is completely different from the previous "car".
Because it has no wheels at all and relies on the levitation force of the magnetic field to move.
Strictly speaking, this kind of vehicle should be regarded as an "aircraft".
The reason why it is still called a "car" is because its suspension height is not high enough and its speed is not fast enough.
Its maximum ceiling is 10,000 meters relative to the ground, and its maximum speed is 1,000 kilometers per hour.
This data is really nothing in the 23rd century, but at this time, it is definitely the highest and fastest.
This time Wen Desi took a total of 18 cyborgs to Shanghai, filling the "Antelope 670" rated to carry 9 passengers.
Fortunately, this is the earth in the 20th century.
If it were in the 23rd century, this kind of overloading behavior would have allowed Wen Desi to go in and eat free meals for a few days.
Two hours later, the "Antelope 670" all-terrain vehicle, which was galloping under the cover of night, arrived at the outskirts of Shanghai and landed silently on a pre-selected riverside.
After everyone got off the car, Wen Desi took out a remote control and pressed it a few times.
The all-terrain vehicle immediately closed the doors and windows, drove into the Huangpu River and dived into it.
The water here is more than 10 meters deep and it is so remote that no one can see it.
They did the same thing when they went to Neijiang a few days ago.
This place belonged to the edge of the Eastern District of the Public Settlement, later Yangpu District.
It is still a few kilometers away from the bustling area.
It was early in the morning, and there was no one around.
It was dark and windy at this time, and this was a remote area.
There were no street lights, and it was almost impossible to see.
But this is not a problem at all for Wen Desi and the others.
The night vision goggles they are equipped with are not stressful in this environment.
A biochemical man looked at the electronic map and said, "Mr.
Wen, that hotel is about 1.5 kilometers to the southwest."
"Okay, let's go.
Let's take a rest here today."
Wen Desi adjusted his night vision glasses.
The Huangpu Hotel where Wen Desi and the others stayed was a hotel run by Chinese people, and it was considered to be of the upper-middle level at the time.
It is a mixed Chinese and Western style, a 3-story brick and wood structure building, with curved arch windows and doors.
In addition to accommodation and dining facilities, there are also auxiliary facilities such as dance halls, billiard rooms, small gardens, and orchestra pits.
It was almost 2 o'clock at this time, and such a large group of guests came to the hotel, which made the hotel very busy.
"Well, the environment here is pretty good."
After entering the hotel, Wen Desi looked around and nodded.
By the standards of the time, this place was indeed pretty good, with running water, bells, telephones, fans, independent bathroom facilities, mahogany furniture, Western-style beds, and silk bedding.
Wen Desi turned on his handheld computer, looked over the plan again, and thought about it for a while before going to bed.
The next day, Wen Desi and the others split into two groups and took the carriage hired by the hotel to the Central Public Rental District, which was the most prosperous place in Shanghai.
Wen Desi took Chromie and five others to the Christie's jewelry store in the concession.
This is a jewelry store run by British Jews and the largest jewelry store in Shanghai.
"Sir, the jewelry store has arrived."
The carriage door was opened, and the carriage shop clerk quickly put down the stepladder and held the door respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work."

Wen Desi smiled, and the cyborg bodyguard behind him took out 2 silver coins and put them in the boy's hand.
The biochemical man said: "Mr.
Wen is very satisfied with your service.
This is a reward for you."
"Yes, sir, we will wait here," the man said respectfully.
Wen Desi chartered the carriage for one day, and the day's rent was 6 yuan.
Now I gave him a reward of 2 yuan, which made the driver and the driver very happy.
There is no need to turn in this reward, which is equivalent to their day's salary.
A series of footsteps echoed in the lobby of Christie's Jewelry Store.
The salesperson who heard the sound looked up and saw several "gentlemen" walking in.
The salesperson quickly stood up and came over.
"Good morning gentlemen, may I help you with anything?"
"Is your manager here?
We have a business to cooperate with you," said Chromie next to him.
An hour later, the jewelry store office.
"Oh, Manager Karl, these diamonds are all top quality, no problem," the appraiser put down the magnifying glass and said with a blushing face.
"Yes, both the clarity and color grade are top-notch, but there is no finishing, just a rough cut."
Another appraiser nodded in agreement.
"Manager Carl, there must be nothing wrong with this batch of goods brought by the Americans."
The third appraiser also made a judgment, and then he whispered: "Manager, you can buy it.
As long as we do more finishing, the price Doubling it is not a problem.”
Karl thought for a moment and nodded: "Very good, thank you for your work."
After saying that, he walked up to Wen Desi and smiled: "Oh, Mr.
Wen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
We are very satisfied with this batch of goods."
"It's easy to say.
I hope the price you offer will satisfy us," Wen Desi said calmly.
There is no doubt that these diamonds are real, just man-made.
These diamonds are all used on drills.
Of course, they cannot be cut into eight hearts and eight arrows like jewelry.
There are more than a hundred or even hundreds of facets.
It is enough to cut out water chestnuts with up to twenty or thirty faces.
Although the price is lower, it is easier to sell.
Karl said: "According to the identification of our appraisers, your batch of diamonds are all flawless top-grade diamonds.
This is the price we offer, what do you think?"
As he said that, he placed a quotation sheet in front of Wen Desi.
The prices of things like diamonds vary greatly.
A little difference in size will lead to completely different prices.
Wen Desi's batch of diamonds, the smallest is 10 carats, the largest is 30 carats.
Wen Desi picked up the quotation sheet and looked at it.
The quotation for the 10-carat grade diamond was 15,000 pounds, and the quotation for the 30-carat grade diamond was 100,000 pounds.
The total price is £1.75 million.
"Well, Chromie, you can negotiate this."
Wen Desi gave the task of negotiating the price to Chromie.
"Mr.

Karl, I think this price is too low.
You can only buy second-grade diamonds at this price.
The appropriate price should be" Chromie looked at the quotation and said.
Karl immediately shook his head: "Oh, no, no, no, this price is very suitable, and we also want profits."
After some heated haggling, the diamonds were finally sold for 2.12 million pounds.
"Mr.
Cromie, it turns out you are also a Jew, no wonder."
Karl wiped the sweat from his forehead and signed the contract.
"Yes, I am an American Jew."
Chromie smiled, took out an American passport and waved it.
The American passports of Wen Desi and others can be said to be genuine.
Even if the U.S.
Embassy sees it, it will say it is genuine.
There was no way, the passports at that time had no anti-counterfeiting measures, not even photos of the parties involved.
The office building's database contains U.S. passport patterns from this era, as well as the signatures of those in charge.
A few days ago, Wen Desi sent someone to Shanghai to get a real passport.
Then he found similar paper, typed it on the computer, made the pattern, and then used a 3D printer to print it out as it was
