When Luo Songxi stepped off the airship, he smelled a foggy smell in the air of the city.The Yarn, Chinese, and NetBlimp stations are located on the northern outskirts of Fort St.
John, separated from the capital's urban area by a large industrial area.He sat in a limousine specially allocated by the Joint Security Committee, and Luo Qingming drove in silence.It has been more than two years since the Federation obtained tire technology from Luo Songxi, and although the Federal Military Logistics Commission has initially had the ability to mass-produce tires, the production capacity is still very small.The finished tires are all used for the secret installation of military vehicles, as a high-level strategic control material of the federal high-secret, and it is far from the time to promote it to civilian use.Therefore, even the limousine used by the Joint Security Commission as a concierge still relies on four huge metal wheels to roll on the ground, and the riding experience all the way is definitely not good, and Lin Xiaoman, who is not used to riding in the car, needs to give himself an activation from time to time to lift his spirits to resist the dizziness caused by the bumps in the vehicle.Luo Songxi gently held Lin Xiaoman's hand, experiencing the luxury of using natural magic to treat motion sickness.Luo Qingming, who was driving with a stuffy head, naturally made the air in the car dull.The Joint Security Committee kindly asked the old classmates to pick them up, but Luo Songxi would rather they send a completely irrelevant person, at least they could greet them and chat a few words, which is better than such an embarrassing scene now.Picking them up from the airship station, Luo Qingming took them to the car without saying a word, and then drove without a word.Luo Songxi tried to break the silence at first, and asked Luo Qingming, "Don't you ask us what happened to us in the prehistoric ruins?"
”Luo Songxi could see through the rearview mirror that Luo Qingming was looking at him with a very strange look, which looked particularly annoying behind his crooked drifting sea.Of course, Luo Songxi knew the meaning of his eyes, "Don't you know that I can see these things in the briefing of the Joint Security Committee?"
”But can't you ask again when you see it?
Forget it, Luo Songxi thought, he asked Lin Xiaoman to gently rest his head on his shoulder.Since the confrontation with Jing Haijun ended, Lin Xiaoman's mental state had relaxed a lot, and Luo Songxi thought that this was her natural reaction after she got out of danger.He gently stroked the end of Lin Xiaoman's hair, looked through the car window, and looked at the first big city in the federation where he came.Outside the window is the huge industrial area around Fort St.
John, and while many of the Federation's industries have begun to move to coastal areas where logistics are more convenient, the Fort St.
John's Industrial Area is still an indispensable part of the federal industrial map.Hundreds of thousands of industrial workers depend on it for their livelihoods, and countless factories in all walks of life, including steel mills, textile mills, paper mills, etc., cover the entire field of vision, and the climate here is always unpredictable due to the large amount of elemental residue spewed out by machinery, and the waste elemental slag piles up on both sides of the road.See 1 Mao 2 Line 3 Chinese Network St.
John's Fort is not only the largest city in the Federation, but also the largest city in this seat, the developed industrial civilization of the Federation has created the prosperity and wealth of the city, but also created the congestion and chaos of the city.Compared to the West Star City, which is made of federal coins and elemental crystals, Fort St.
John, which was formed naturally on the continent of Humans over a period of more than 2,000 years, is obviously much deeper.Since the end of the last Kuroshio Tide and the establishment of the Rising Sun Empire by Gilles Gonzalez the Great, it has been the most important city in the western part of the Rising Sun Empire.It was here that the last emperor of the González family abdicated, John Robespierre proclaimed the Federal Republic, and after the end of the First East-West War, the industrial revolution of the Federation began here, and the city that now bears the name of John Robespierre has always been the political and industrial center of the Union.But as a city with a long history, Fort St.
John's is naturally immune to the common problems of all cities on the road to development.The gradual expansion of the urban scale and the patched development model have led to a lack of urban planning and serious aging of infrastructure in the central urban area.The growing number of urban populations is causing traffic congestion, sewer blockages, and pollution......
Although the residents here can enjoy all the conveniences brought by industrialization and modernization, there is still a heart of suffering hidden under the glittering coat of the metropolis.Of course, the most annoying thing is the traffic problem.Elemental vehicles powered by the wind element are expensive and do not have a speed advantage, and the main means of transport at Fort St.
John's is still horse-drawn carriages.To serve the city's large population, Fort St.
John's has nearly 5,000 public carriages, in addition to more than 10,000 rental carriages, and an almost equal number of private carriages.Combined with the fact that the horses need to take turns resting, the number of horses in the entire Fort of St.
John is at least 50,000.The number one problem posed by so many horse-drawn carriages is serious traffic accidents.The scene of thousands of horses galloping every day leads to the frequency of traffic accidents very frequent, and there are countless incidents of horses hitting horses and horses trampling people every day.On the narrow and cramped roads of the old town, once a horse-drawn carriage overturns, it brings endless traffic jams.But in fact, compared to the other thing, traffic accidents may not be a big problem.That's horse manure.A horse excretes about ten kilograms of manure a day.More than 50,000 horses contribute more than 500 tons of horse manure to Fort St.
John's every day, most of which is freely pulled by horses in the streets.Therefore, of all the municipal departments in Fort St.
John, the largest number is the sanitation department.After 9 p.m., when horse-drawn carriages are not allowed on the streets at Fort St.
John's, thousands of sanitation workers pour into the streets to collect the day's horse manure.There are also many low-level magicians in the sanitation department, and they only require to master one magic, which is to summon the water elemental to form a stream of water to wash the road.Even so, the speed of the sanitation department's pick-up still can't keep up with the speed of horse excretion, a large number of horse manure piled up on the side of the road, as soon as the sun is blessed, it quickly becomes "dry goods" without moisture, and the wind blows again, and the dry goods are scattered and mixed into the air......
Fort St.
John's has an indescribable smell throughout the year.So over the years, more and more wealthy people began to move to Xixing City, and they took a lot of wealth with them at the same time.This wealth has been invested in the repeated renovation and long-term luxury of Xixing City.The wealthy who remained focused on building wealthy districts on the Wauka River, which surrounds Fort St.
John's.As a result, the entire Fort of St.
John, no matter who came to power, was always difficult to change.Instead of heading to the UNSC headquarters building in the city, the car drove to a liaison station of the UNSC on the banks of the Wauka River.It is a small, beautifully built compound with a view of the leafy islands on the wide Wauca River.Those islands are the most affluent areas of Fort St.
John's, cut off from the mundane city by the river, but they are the power that secretly controls the city.After entering the house, Luo Qingming carefully conducted an environmental inspection, and after confirming that it was impossible to be monitored, he took out an envelope and handed it to Luo Songxi and Lin Xiaoman.The seal of the envelope was carefully painted with fire paint, and the fire paint was also stamped with a magic seal, Luo Songxi asked Luo Qingming, "What is so formal?"
”"The school's graduation assessment task."
Luo Qingming replied briefly."
Graduation assessment?
The internship is not over yet, and you have to do a graduation assessment?
”Luo Songxi asked, "What about the debriefing?"
”"It doesn't matter if you report on your work, you will be given priority in assessment."
Luo Qingming made a gesture and motioned for Luo Songxi to open the envelope.Inside the envelope was a list, not long, but dazzling enough.The people on the list are all powerful people who are qualified to live in Fort St.
John on the Wauka River.At the bottom of the list is Sorkovsky's handwriting: "The CSA plans to launch a campaign to clean up corruption within the Federation."
The people on the list are all suspects of the UNSC, and your task is to obtain solid evidence through investigation.You will be graded based on your performance in the investigation, and this score will determine whether you will be able to graduate from school or come back for a year and a half. ”"Mission Class: Level 1."
As soon as Luo Songxi finished reading, a wisp of fire rose on its own, burning the list completely."
Investigate corrupt officials," Luo Songxi patted the ashes on his hands and said, "Is it difficult, just the grass platform team of the three of us?"
”Luo Qingming glanced at him, "There is no rule that you are not allowed to find someone to help, but who else do you know in Fort St.
John?"
”There are very few acquaintances in Fort St.
John's, but there seem to be two of them.………… In the spacious chairman's office at the headquarters of the UNA in Fort St.
John, the chairman of the UNA, Mr.
Marco José, was smiling and telling his daughter Ivilla that Luo Songxi had returned from the Dwarf Continent to report to Fort St.
John.He deliberately picked out some of Luo Songxi's thrilling experiences on the dwarf continent to tell Ivelan, and Ivelan, who has always been known for her powerful aura, was in a fluctuating mood.Ivelan was playing with a knife that was only five centimeters long, one of the most precious and rare things in the Federation.She kept thinking in her heart, is this knife going to be returned to him?
Or can we not give it back to him?
………… (Note: Before the invention of the internal combustion engine, the problem of horse manure was an unavoidable pain in all metropolises.)The situation of Fort St.
John is not fictional, it is London, Paris, New York at the end of the 19th century......
A true portrayal of these world's most developed metropolises.In 1894, The Times predicted in despair: "Fifty years from now, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure." ”）
