Chapter 460 (1/2)
Below us is a sea, but on the sea, there is a floating city. Less than half of the city is submerged by the sea, but even so, the parts standing on the ground are still towering into the clouds. High-rise commercial buildings like towers point straight to the sky. In the center of Shanghai, I can see the tallest building, That's the Oriental Pearl Tower. But unlike the Oriental Pearl Tower, which I remember, the Pearl Tower is much taller than the Oriental Pearl Tower in twenty-first Century. It is the tallest building in Shanghai. The towering Oriental Pearl Tower is like a sword, pointing directly to the sky, surrounded by clouds.
This is a city that comes out of the water.
This is what I made when I saw Shanghai 400 years later.
If I hadn't seen the familiar Chinese signboard below, I even suspected that Venice, not Shanghai, was below.
Shanghai... How could it be submerged by the sea?
The streets that should have been in the city are gone, just like Venice. The city is crisscrossed by streams and connected by various forms of bridges. Arch bridge, iron cable bridge, suspension bridge, girder bridge and floating bridge.
The buildings are connected with each other by some transparent glass pipes, which are very thick. In the pipes, there are oval maglev trolleys similar to glass capsules floating back and forth.
There are more pipes than bridges. Glass pipes connect all the large buildings in the city like cobwebs.
Over the city, there are dozens of pumpkin shaped silver airships floating slowly back and forth in all corners of the city. Every pumpkin shaped airship seems to be carrying hundreds of people. The white airship moved slowly, just like white clouds floating in the sky.
Between the white clouds in the sky, there is a huge Golden Shadow shuttling back and forth. The shadow is very long and huge. It is roughly estimated to be one kilometer long. It is a golden Oriental dragon!!
Of course, when I looked carefully, I found that it was not a real dragon, but a terrible huge airship, but its shape was designed into the shape of a dragon. How many passengers can this dragon hold? I can't imagine.
On the water surface between cities, a large number of boats are swimming rapidly, and white ripples are scratched on the water surface.
Most of those yachts are single person, just like motorcycles in small towns in the 21st century.
Airship, maglev tram and single person yacht are the main means of transportation in Shanghai in the future.
There are countless tall tower buildings in the whole city. The walls of commercial buildings are dynamic advertisements of LCD panels, and the walls of those commercial buildings are advertising boards themselves. In the air, there are even 3D three-dimensional virtual projection images. The technology of this era can already project three-dimensional holographic images in mid air. It's really high technology.
I have been to many big cities in China before, and I have witnessed a lot of high-tech products. However, only after I came to Shanghai did I have the shock feeling of coming to the future world.
Shock.
It's really shocking.
Airships all over the sky, glass tube channels transported back and forth, single person riding boats on the water, and holographic images in the air... All give me a feeling of entering Hollywood blockbusters in the 21st century.
I struggled with my eyes to get back to my senses. I looked up and saw that the nine housekeeper was looking at me with a strange look. It was like a city man watching the woodlouse in the countryside. So I quickly coughed and assumed a faint look.
Of course, my surprise didn't subside for a while.
400 years later, Shanghai was filled with seawater. What's going on?
After thinking for a while, I remembered that I once saw in China Geographic magazine that the Yangtze River Delta where Shanghai is located is formed by the accumulation of sediment at the river estuary, so there is land subsidence. In the future, the whole Shanghai will sink into the water because of the surface subsidence. I think the scene I'm witnessing now verifies the prophecy I saw in the magazine.
After figuring this out, I was relieved.
After zidie's Yinlong private ash machine hovered in the air, a flame was sprayed at the bottom, making the ash machine suspended, and finally landed slowly on the roof of a magnificent building with brilliant lights.
It's a huge building in the southwest of Shanghai. It is also one of the most conspicuous buildings in Shanghai. Though highly regarded, the building can not compare with the Oriental Pearl Tower, but the building is the most conspicuous in terms of volume. From the perspective of height, this tall building is also one of the top five tall buildings in Shanghai.
”Tut Tut, that's good. Surrounded by the sea and built so high, this building is really related to my name. I like it.”
We landed on the top of a tall building. When she got out of the cabin, Hello, Suo Niu began to walk to the edge of the building. She looked at the city below from a height of hundreds of meters, stretched her waist and sighed. I was so scared that I hurried forward to hold her so that she wouldn't fall down.
”Hey, master, don't stand so close to the edge. Don't regret falling into a flat chest.”
