Chapter 313 The World Expo (Part 1)
On the second morning after arriving in Luzhou, Yufei and her friends slept until they naturally woke up at 7:30.
With an hour and a half until the Expo opens, they can enjoy the local breakfast.
But what's with the spicy tofu pudding? Sweet tofu pudding is the way to go!
Yufei and the others, who had tried spicy tofu pudding out of curiosity, now especially miss sweet tofu pudding. (Wash your mouth!)
Feeling they still weren't full, the group ordered some oil tea and wontons to share, and were quite satisfied with the meal.
After a satisfying breakfast, Yufei and her group chartered a tour bus and arrived at the World Expo.
The timing was perfect; the World Expo opened.
After queuing and having their tickets checked, they entered the museum.
Similar to the major trends of the previous era, current technology demonstrations are all focused on environmental protection, energy conservation, and intelligence.
Each country has brought out its own showcase, but the Great Xia has yet to display itss.
This has also attracted gossip from some people in other countries.
"The people of Daxia are indeed diligent, but they lack imagination. All they know is to spy on our country's technology. Now they have nothing left to showcase in terms of cutting-edge technology, serves them right."
A man with black hair and black eyes, who looked much like the people of Great Xia, arrogantly complained to the visitors of the World Expo.
The Chinese visitors to the World Expo glared angrily at the person who had made such outrageous remarks.
"It's as if you're not a citizen of Great Xia. Is it really appropriate to belittle your own country like that?"
"I'm not a citizen of Great Xia, I'm a citizen of the White Eagle Kingdom, and I have White Eagle citizenship."
The man proudly pulled out his American passport, seemingly waiting for someone to ask him that question so he could show it off to everyone.
"Oh, so you're a banana person—yellow on the outside, white on the inside. No wonder you're so ill-mannered."
Of course, the public wouldn't tolerate him either. If this venue weren't internationally oriented, representing the image and quality of the people of Great Xia, many would be afraid of the negative impact.
Otherwise, I'd love to use the beautiful Daxia language to warmly greet that person's family.
Of course, since the millennium, the Great Xia Dynasty has been taking off at a speed visible to the naked eye, both in terms of economy and technology.
This has boosted the confidence of Chinese people, making them feel less inferior in front of foreigners and more willing to directly confront those they disapprove of.
Even though the government hasn't yet deployed the advanced technology of Great Xia, the people have full confidence in the government, believing that it's preparing for some great war.
"Quick! Great Xia is holding a technology press conference!" Just as the Great Xia people and that banana man were arguing heatedly...
A group of reporters and photographers carrying cameras and microphones swarmed toward the space reserved for the DaXia booth.
The people arguing stopped arguing and followed the main group, including Yufei and her large group.
The Great Xia pavilion was different from those of other countries. It featured a long corridor in front, with a row of fully armed soldiers stationed at the entrance.
The facilities in the corridor are already operational; the electronic lights and electronic sounds have been turned on simultaneously.
"Welcome to the Great Xia Pavilion, themed 'The Future'," an electronic voice announced.
The large screens on both sides of the corridor lit up, displaying information about the various products that Da Xia would be showcasing.
At the same time, a group of silver-white intelligent butlers emerged from inside to greet the visitors, each adding their own touch.
"Hello everyone, I am Smart Butler No. 1 (No. 2, 3, 4...). I will be serving you now. Because there are many people, please line up in order, with 5 people following one Smart Butler. Thank you for your cooperation."
As they spoke, the soldiers began to maintain order, making sure the exhibitors lined up properly.
They entered in groups of five, and 20 smart assistants came out. So they started letting them in in groups of five, which was very fast. Each smart assistant was followed by five people, and the corridor could accommodate 100 people at once.
However, it didn't feel crowded. The smart assistant took about 10 minutes to make one round trip before coming to pick up the next group of people.
The group that arrived earlier didn't come out; instead, they were seated inside.
Yufei entered with the second group, looking at the corridors on both sides as she walked.
Many of the tech teams above seem like science fiction to people today. Yufei thinks that many of the first people to come in and see the scenes in the corridor must have thought it was some kind of science fiction movie.
Or they might think this is just conceptual technology, and that no one would believe the technology they see in the corridor is real.
Yufei was filled with excitement; she wondered how utterly astonished they would be when they entered and saw the actual object.
Yufei was getting impatient. The corridor wasn't very long; in Yufei's opinion, five minutes wasn't enough to see all the images on the screen.
It wasn't short at all; they walked for a full five minutes.
After walking through the corridor, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a huge room.
Inside is a three-quarters circular viewing platform; Yufei estimates there are two to three thousand chairs, accommodating over three thousand people.
The smart butler escorted them to the entrance, speaking through its electronic voice...
"Dear family members, we have safely delivered you to your destinations. Please take your seats according to the seat numbers on your Expo tickets. Thank you."
He then ignored them and went to pick up the next group of people.
And it wasn't like they were left unattended once the smart butler left; countless tiny robots, about the size of carrier pigeons, moved about the venue in an orderly fashion.
"Madam, please show your Expo ticket." Sure enough, as the smart assistant left, a small robot identical to the one in the venue appeared out of nowhere and came to Yufei's side.
There are also other things that correspond one-to-one with the other members of Yufei's family.
Yufei took out her World Expo ticket, and a small robot scanned it with a green light.
"Madam, you are seated in the second row, seat number 35. Please follow me."
He then turned around and began to lead the way, occasionally looking back to see if Yufei was keeping up.
Even Yufei, who knew that their Great Xia Technology was already taking off, was amazed by the intelligent robots, let alone the others.
Everyone who crossed the corridor and stepped through the door at the end felt as if they had traveled to the future.
At first, I was completely stunned, and then my two eyes simply weren't enough to see everything.
The reporters were all enthusiastically sharing their observations and experiences with the people on the other end of the camera.
After Yufei followed the little robot to the location corresponding to her ticket group...
A ribbon of unknown material floated out from its inner layer.
The little robot then spoke to Yufei in its electronic accent.
"Hello, this is a smart bracelet (number 35) that symbolizes your identity here. Please wear it."
This is the first generation of smart rings developed by our company, Daxia. After wearing it, you will undergo identity verification. I will then give you a detailed introduction to the smart rings.”
Yufei took the strap handed to her from the air; wasn't this just a smart bracelet of the same type as those in the wasteland world?
However, it has a more sophisticated design than the wasteland world, and Yufei is quite familiar with it.
Without saying a word, I put it on.
After putting it on, Yufei felt a slight, familiar stinging sensation on her wrist.
Immediately afterwards, a dimly lit screen appeared in front of Yufei, displaying several software apps.
