Chapter 1174 Telescope
Chapter 1174 Telescope
The next day, after breakfast, Han Li checked out of the hotel and found a higher-end hotel on another street to stay in.
Yesterday at midnight, cousins Viva and Betty delivered the goods to Han Li's door for free. Han Li felt sorry for them because they would feel uneasy if they didn't exercise.
Although Han Li worked the night shift and was blessed with a little mental strength, it was precisely because of this that he became more determined to check out of the hotel and leave.
Because Han Li wanted to live in a hotel with such an unprofessional ethics, he didn't want his room to be opened by others without permission, and he didn't want to get up in the middle of the night to work overtime for no reason.
The hotel Han Li stayed in this time was probably the tallest one near the University of Glasgow, and he even chose a room on the top floor.
This location allows Han Li to observe more directly this city, which was once the pearl of Scotland, an important industrial center of England, and a source of wealth, but is now a city that has lost its luster and is filled with gray tones, poverty, and despair.
After Han Li settled himself back in, he went to a bookstore near the University of Glasgow and bought some books about the city and its surroundings, as well as the necessary maps and guides for traveling to the Scottish Highlands.
Maybe Han Li was lucky. When he was eating in a restaurant after buying things, he heard some news that he wanted to know.
The two people sitting in the seats next to them were students from one of the three medical schools, two major and one minor, at the University of Glasgow. They were discussing in a low voice about certain illnesses.
These were originally none of Han Li's business, but when they mentioned the Nox Castle that took away disabled children from the shelter for a fee, he shifted his attention there.
It turned out that their mentor would take these two people to work as assistants in the branch next to the Nox Castle in a few days. He also talked about some cases and a lot of professional terms.
Although some of the topics were only mentioned briefly, Han Li immediately remembered the man named Vasily Rhodes whom he had sent away at the London Hawkes beach villa, so he decided to go over and take a look.
[The University of Glasgow currently has three medical schools, namely St. Mungo's College, Anderson Medical School, and Glasgow Dental School.
It was not until the early 1990s that it was changed to the School of Medicine, the School of Veterinary Medicine and the School of Life Sciences. The best research areas are psychiatry and social medicine.
In addition to this news, Han Li also heard in this restaurant some information about some special dance halls in the city of Glasgow, as well as news such as a robbery that had occurred in a certain neighborhood.
On the way back to the hotel after dinner, Han Li saw a nice second-hand shop. He remembered that he had found those banned books on the market at Edinburgh last time, so he walked in directly.
Inside the store there are some old furniture, old books, jewelry of unknown authenticity, some vintage toys, lamps, and a separate shelf with many different models of telescopes.
Han Li didn't know whether these things were real or not, but the authenticity of books could not be deceived.
Unfortunately, Han Li did not find any precious or rare books here. At this time, he turned his eyes to the shelf where the telescope was placed.
Han Li also didn't recognize these telescopes, but the boss had put an introduction to them below.
Here is the M3 6X30 military telescope produced by the United States during World War II. Han Li recognized it immediately after seeing the name.
It is said that in 44, the U.S. military observation group gave one to the teacher, and the teacher later took it to many places and the telescope was deeply loved by the teacher.
The reason why Han Li recognized it was that there was a telescope of the same model in Old Liu's home, which was said to be captured by him on a battlefield in the south.
The paint on Mr. Liu's telescope has been patched in many places, and after many repairs, the condition of the lenses and focusing mechanisms are rather worrying. Now it can only be placed at home as a decoration.
Now that Han Li saw the same model of telescope, of course he had to buy it, and the telescopes sold here were better maintained.
But there is no rush now. This telescope has aroused Han Li's curiosity, and he plans to buy it after seeing all of them.
接下来韩立看到了德意志成产的格尔茨6X24军用望远镜,徕兹6X30望远镜,以及二战后才生产出来的徕兹6X30双调望远镜。
It can be said that all the famous German telescopes are available here, but unfortunately there is no Zeiss 6X30 military telescope.
But think about it, the Zeiss military telescope was specially customized from East Germany in the early days of the founding of our country, and there is almost no possibility that it was spread to England.
Of course, the most common items in this store are the 6X30 military binoculars made in England during World War II.
This type of telescope was manufactured in large quantities in England during World War II, and was mainly equipped to the Air Force. The red-dot screws on it were used to install other equipment. Unfortunately, this store does not have those related equipment.
最后韩立把这家店仅有的九个漂亮国生产的M3 6X30军用望远镜全部买走,还把德意志生产的几款望远镜各买了一个,最后买了两个几乎全新的英吉利6X30军用望远镜。
When the boss saw that Han Li asked for so many telescopes, he thought he was a telescope collector.
He strongly recommended a Swiss 6X24 military telescope to Han Li, saying that this telescope was very famous in those days and was the main equipment of the Swiss army. In the end, Han Li left the second-hand store holding a large cardboard box, which contained 15 telescopes.
Han Li had now found a new toy and could not contain himself. After returning to the hotel, he made himself a cup of tea and sat by the window with a telescope to watch the scene.
However, because the observation area through the window was limited, Han Li simply ran to the roof and looked around.
The first place Han Li looked at with the telescope was the River Clyde, where the Glasgow Shipyard, numerous large warehouses, and the dormitories and apartment buildings built by the factory for the workers were located.
However, the place no longer has the prosperous and bustling scene it once had. Factories have closed down and docks have stopped working. Only the security departments are still patrolling back and forth.
There are smooth roads near factories, warehouses and docks. Several workers in their prime are sitting in a sheltered place, burning tires that came from nowhere to keep warm.
The open space in front of the dormitory building is paved with sand and gravel, where some children of employees' families are playing. They have no idea of the situation their parents and families are facing.
Whether young, middle-aged or old, the people living here all have poverty, confusion and despair engraved on their faces, and some even have a look of madness on their faces.
Han Li also saw Glasgow's most famous slum, which was a four-story building.
Those rows of houses look very stylish, but underneath are desolate and empty streets.

Occasionally, two people walk face to face on the road. They will not communicate with each other at all. They will just look at each other vigilantly and move away from each other at a faster speed.
But when Han Li pulled the telescope back to the vicinity, the scene was still prosperous.
There are clean and tidy streets, many Victorian-style building blocks, beautiful houses, huge parks, stately municipal buildings and churches.
There was a mother on the road, pushing a stroller leisurely with a smile on her face, walking forward slowly.
There was a group of brightly dressed children, riding their small bicycles and playing in the park.
There are also many luxury cars parked in front of restaurants and cafes, and the owners of the luxury cars drink afternoon tea inside, which costs dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of British pounds each time.
Two completely different living environments in one area. This is Glasgow in Scotland today, the former industrial town, manufacturing center, source of wealth, and the jewel in the Queen's crown.
There must be places in England that are worse than this place, but Glasgow is definitely the most polarized city Han Li has seen since arriving in England.
***
After Han Li had dinner in the hotel, he walked towards the junction of the rich area and the slums according to the information he heard at lunch. He wanted to see what the characteristics of those special dance halls were.
As soon as Han Li got off the car, he saw garbage piled up on both sides of the road and the bumpy road surface. Although this is a junction, the sanitation of the streets shows that this is already a neglected area.
Han Li looked at the colorful signs around him and thought that there were really a lot of those special dance halls here.
Because Han Li had never been to this kind of dance hall before, he smoked a cigarette in the shade on the side of the road, and watched the kind of people who went to that dance hall as a reference for himself.
This was the peak time for the dance halls to be visited by customers. Han Li had a rough idea of the situation in just the time it took to smoke a cigarette.
Han Li eliminated those dance halls frequented by older people and those dressed like ordinary people, and chose a dance hall frequented by young people who were more decently dressed.
The person buying tickets here was a woman in her thirties. The person in front of her took out ten British pounds, got the ticket and went in.
When it was Han Li's turn, the middle-aged woman, perhaps because she saw that Han Li had a Chinese face, gave him a special reminder.
"As long as you enter, even if you only stay in the ballroom for two seconds before leaving, your ticket will not be refunded. If you want to sit in a booth, you need to pay extra when you order drinks at the bar."
Han Li nodded to show that he understood, took the ticket from the old lady and walked in.
Han Li heard deafening music before he entered, and felt a heat wave as soon as he entered.
The next thing that came into view was the shining light of colorful lights of various colors, and a large open space in the middle with a dance floor illuminated by several bright lights.
Not far from the entrance is the bar counter for selling alcohol. Next to the bar counter is a long row of sofas with many people sitting on them.
