My Last Girlfriend
Chapter 434: Shanghai 400 years later
Below us, there is a vast ocean, and on the sea, there is a city floating. A half of this city is submerged by the sea, but even so, the part that stands above the ground is still towering into the clouds. The high-rise commercial buildings that stand like tall towers point straight to the sky. In the very center of Shanghai, I can see the tallest building, the Oriental Pearl Tower.
But unlike the Oriental Pearl Tower in my impression, this Pearl Tower is much taller than the 21st Century Oriental Pearl Tower. It is the tallest building in Shanghai. The towering Oriental Pearl Tower looks like a long handle. Pointing straight at the sky like a sword, surrounded by clouds and mist.
This is a city drilled out from under the water.
This is my evaluation when I saw Shanghai 400 years later.
Had it not been for the familiar Chinese signboard below, I would have even suspected that it was Venice and not Shanghai below.
Shanghai... how could it be submerged by the sea?
The streets that were supposed to be in the city are all gone, just like Venice. In the city, there are criss-crossing streams, and bridges of various forms are connected to each other. Arch bridges, cable bridges, suspension bridges, beam bridges and pontoon bridges.
The buildings and buildings are connected to each other by some transparent glass pipes. Those pipes are very thick. In the pipes, there are elliptical magnetic levitation trams floating around like glass capsules.
There are more pipes than bridges, and glass pipes connect all the large buildings in the city, like a spider web.
And above the city, there are dozens of pumpkin-shaped silver-white airships floating slowly back and forth in every corner of the city. In each pumpkin-shaped airship, there seemed to be hundreds of people in it. As the white airship moved slowly, it looked like a white cloud floating in the sky.
And among the white clouds in the sky, there is a huge golden shadow that shuttles back and forth. That shadow is very long and huge. It is roughly one kilometer in length. It is a golden oriental dragon!
Of course, after a closer look, it was discovered that it was not a real dragon, but a huge, terrifying airship, but it was designed in the shape of a dragon. How many passengers can this dragon hold? I can't imagine it anymore.
On the water between the cities, there are a large number of boats swimming fast, and white waves are drawn on the water.
Most of those yachts are single-person, as common as motorcycles in 21st century towns.
Airships, maglev trams, and single-person yachts are the main means of transportation in Shanghai in the future.
There are countless high-tower buildings in the whole city. On the walls of commercial buildings are dynamic advertisements of LCD panels, and the walls of those commercial buildings are themselves advertising boards. In the air, there are even 3D virtual projection images. The technology of this era can already project three-dimensional holographic images in mid-air. It is really high-tech.
I have been to many big cities in China before, and I have witnessed a lot of high-tech products, but after coming to Shanghai, I have the shocking feeling of coming to the future world.
Shocked.
It was really shocking.
The airships in the sky, the glass tube passages that go back and forth, the solo boats on the water, the holographic images in the air... all give me the feeling of stepping into a 21st century Hollywood blockbuster.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously before regaining my senses. I looked up and found that the nine butler was looking at me with a strange look, as if people in the city were looking at the turtles in the country, so I hurriedly coughed. , Pretending to be indifferent.
Of course, the surprise in my heart did not subside for a while.
400 years later, Shanghai was filled with sea water. What happened?
After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that I had read in "China Geography", saying that the Yangtze River Delta where Shanghai is located is due to the accumulation of sediment from the river’s estuary, so there is a situation of ground subsidence. In the future, it will The entire city of Shanghai sank into the water due to the sinking of the ground. I think the scene I am witnessing now verifies the prophecy I saw in the magazine.
After I figured this out, I felt relieved.
After the Zidie’s Silver Dragon private plane circled in the air, flames were ejected from the very bottom, which turned the plane into a suspended state, and finally landed slowly on top of a magnificent building with brilliant lights. Go down.
It is a huge building located in the southwestern area of Shanghai and one of the most conspicuous buildings in Shanghai. Although in terms of height, this building cannot be compared with the Oriental Pearl Tower, but in terms of volume, this building is Is the most conspicuous. In terms of height, this tall building is also ranked among the top five tall buildings in Shanghai.
"Tsk tusk tusk, it's not bad. Surrounded by the sea and built so high, this building is really related to my name, my mother, my mother likes it."
We landed on the top of a tall building. When I got off the cabin, the wretched girl began to walk to the edge of the building, looking at the city below from a height of hundreds of meters, stretched her waist and sighed with emotion, scared me hurriedly to pull her to prevent her from falling down.
"Hey, Master, don't you stand so close to the edge, okay, don't regret it if you fall into a flat chest."
"Don't scare my old lady!" Hearing my threat, the wretched girl obediently turned around and walked back. It seems that she still takes her **** seriously.
"Hehe, Boss Li and Miss Gao, please come with me. I just informed Miss Xu Er. Miss Xu Er said that she is currently waiting for some people in the casino on the first floor."
When we were walking around at will, the nine steward came up politely, smiling and beckoning me to go and meet Zidie.
"Casino? There is a casino on the first floor?" In the 21st century, where is there a casino in Shanghai. I didn't expect that there will be a casino in Shanghai 400 years later.
"Yes, casino." The nine housekeeper still kept the housekeeper's polite and friendly smile. "Ms. Xu Er is now gambling in the casino on the first floor with Shanghai's four major pearls, Qianxing."
Purple Butterfly, are you gambling?
Moreover, are they the four pearls that have long been known to Shanghai?
The four pearls of Shanghai, as I heard Yanzi mentioned, they are the fox-mei, femme-beauty, ugly and noble lady. Those four women are incredible women in the four major commercial centers of Shanghai. The status of the four women in Shanghai is equivalent to the status of the Black Widow in Santan City. Black and white take all. Both political and business circles have a great background. Their influence and influence are greater than that of the Black Widow. It can be used. Hands and eyes open to the sky, and one hand covers the sky. And at this moment, Zidie is actually gambling with such a woman?
According to the nine stewards, Zidie's position in my heart instantly rose to the same level as Shanghai's Four Pearls. Even more than them. After all, the Four Pearls have been famous for a long time, and Zidie is even just a young woman of the same age as me!
I couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was, so I had to settle down and said to the nine steward:
"In that case, let's go to the casino and have a look."
"Okay, please go here. The stairs downstairs are here." The nine steward said as he smiled and gestured for me to follow her downstairs.
So I went downstairs by the elevator with the female wolf head and the wretched girl, following the housekeeper down the passageway on the roof.
What surprised me was that this building had two hundred and twenty floors! This is sixty stories higher than the 160-story Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world in the 21st century!
It's just that I don't think it's strange to think that this building is partly submerged by water, and there are nearly forty floors of the building under the water.
The so-called first-floor casino, strictly speaking, should be forty floors underwater.
The real one above the water is actually equivalent to the 41st floor of this building.
When going downstairs, the nine steward gave a special introduction that this building has a history of fifty years. This building was built by the sixth mother of one of the Four Pearls of the previous generation in Shanghai and one of the current Four Pearls of the Poisonous Scorpion Beauty, but she later withdrew from the arena. This building is one of the tallest buildings in Xujiahui, the largest entertainment club in Shanghai, and the largest casino in China. It surpassed Macau's first casino, Galaxy Casino 30 years ago.
There are a variety of entertainment facilities on every floor from the ground floor to the 220th floor. I don’t know how many celebrities and elites come and go here every day. The daily transaction volume is even higher than 10 billion, sometimes even as high as Hundreds of billions. Of course, gambling of that scale is basically not for gambling, but for gambling with one's own industrial base, market share, liquidity, securities, housing and other assets.
Only after hearing the words of the nine stewards did I know the vastness of this world. I thought that I had the Golden City and I was already a big brother in all of China, but people are really better than others. I'm at best a nouveau riche, and compared with some large groups with a little bit of background, I still have a slight shortcoming. Even if you close your eyes and just do the calculation, there are probably forty or fifty people in China whose personal assets exceed mine. If you mention some hidden family power, it would be even more terrifying. There should be 20 or 30 family powers like the Xu family and the Gao family in China, but they are usually relatively low-key and do not show the mountains and dews.
"Ding Dong, the basement level, the Royal Casino is here. From the 220th floor to the basement level, it really made a few people work hard. I hope they will be worthwhile."
A very humane female voice came out from the elevator, and the voice was crisp, very charming but very kind, just like a movie actor.
"Hey, this voice is very humane." I said with some emotion.
"Of course, because the sound of this building has hired a special dubbing star to supervise the prompt." said the nine steward. I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. Even a reminder sound requires a dubbing star to remind it on the spot, which shows how huge the investment of this casino is.
"welcome."
"welcome."
Walking along the passageway on the first floor, there are waitresses in red cheongsam standing on the corridor along the way. They are beautiful in appearance, dressed in luxurious, red-sleeved robes, and their heads are double-headed, and they see us , They immediately waved their hands all the way to make a gesture, and smiled.
"Hey, it's amazing." The wretched girl walking next to me followed me, while looking at the surrounding waitress who waved to us.
"What's the big deal? Master, do you want to say that their **** are bad? Actually, I think so too." I looked forward to joking with the wretched girl, looking forward to it.
"What breasts, the old lady is talking about their foundation. Although they are all dressed up as waiters in cheongsam, they can tell from the details of their body movements, breathing rate and eyes that the old lady has practiced kung fu. Yes, and the kung fu should be pretty good. Although these people seem to be waiters, they are actually practicing family members, and they are probably guards." The wretched girl said to me in a rare and serious manner.
