People on the Ark became magic cats

049 Sorry, Doctor, you can’t go to Rhode Island!

“Also a Victorian and a Victorian lover?”

Zhou Yi lazily opened his eyes a little.

Isn’t this Jimmy’s classic line?

It seems that Shi Huaiya has never been back to Victoria. She still loves Victoria and loves something about Victoria.

"Hey, give me a precise answer. Do you want to meet Beatrix Swire?"

"See."

Zhou Yi nodded gently, "How can we not meet them? This is Victoria's big family. How bad would it be if we turned them away? Maybe they would think that our queen is unwilling to accept the flattery and submission of the nobles and businessmen."

"What about the candy?"

"Of course I do."

Zhou Yi frowned and looked at Mandela. "Refusing a gift from someone can have a very bad influence. They might think that we don't treat them as our own."

"Then I'll arrange the schedule. Afternoon tea at 4pm is a good idea. Then let Lavshini meet her at 4pm?"

"Do not."

Zhou Yi yawned, "I'll meet her in a few days to give the Shi Huaiya family some time to spare. We also need to prepare the land-based ships. Are the Longmen coins ready?"

Mandela nodded slightly.

"It's all ready. We're just waiting for you to give the order to pay the Victorian soldiers."

She still holds a grudge against the Victorians and does not consider the Tara people to be the same as the Victorians.

"What do you mean by Victorian? Isn't this just insulting yourself, Ravshine, and Abrana?"

"Humph~"

Mandela snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Victoria is not ours yet! The leader has not officially ascended the throne, and the Victorians have not really listened to us yet."

"Hmm~"

Zhou Yi closed her eyes again and said in a coaxing little girl tone, "Don't worry, we will go there in a while."

"You always say that!"

Mandela said angrily, "Every time you said it would be over in a few days! You're already halfway there when I just left the house!"

"Mmmmm~"

Zhou Yi's tone quickly turned into one of drowsiness.

"Go ahead, go ahead, settle the things on your mind for the time being, and then have a good rest. Arrange the military pay and Shi Huaiya's affairs on the land-based ship. Go through a formal occasion and try to let the people above know that it was Her Highness Lafshini who gave them the money and felt sorry for them going out on a long journey to carry out the mission..."

"I know, I know. You've already mentioned this to me many times."

"Because it's important..."

Zhou Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes again, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "Mandela, I want to ask you something very important."

"Ok?"

"You're not going to give the Shi Huaiya family the money for the candy, are you?"

"Why give it?"

Mandela blinked, "She herself said she was willing to pay to help us reward the army."

“That’s a bad start.”

Zhou Yi lay on the fireplace and looked at Mandela and said seriously:

"It will also make the nobles and merchants dislike us. Since we are not short of money, we should pay them everything we deserve, even a little higher than the market price."

Mandela pursed her lips and remained silent.

He looked like a miser who was holding on to the small change and was unwilling to let go.

"The Longmen coins that are printed need to be spent. Money that is not spent is just waste paper. We also need to show our friendly and kind side to the merchants and nobles of Victoria."

Zhou Yi said unhappily:

Don't hold on to that little bit of money and be unwilling to let it go. Find a time to formally sign an order with the Shi Huaiya family. Under the witness of the media and newspapers, we will establish a friendly trade relationship with the Shi Huaiya family and pay the deposit on the spot. We will also find a way to pay the subsequent money as soon as possible.

Also, see what other daily necessities the Shi Huaiya family can provide for the army, and give some orders for daily necessities to the Shi Huaiya family."

"what?!"

Mandela made a confused sound like a sword demon.

"Why are you so nice to the Shi Huaiya family?"

"We need to prove that we will not mistreat those who are willing to work for us."

Mandela stood silently in front of Zhou Yi without leaving.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yi opened his eyes again.

"You said you would help me get rid of those nobles in Victoria."

"I think there will still be a lot of less enlightened guys for us to deal with and take down."

Zhou Yi nodded gently at her, "Don't worry. As for matters involving Xiaoqiu County, we will thoroughly investigate and send those guys to the gallows."

"Ah."

Mandela nodded slightly, "I believe Yumi."

"Go ahead, go ahead... By the way, have they followed the movements of the international medical company I asked you to investigate?"

"Rhode Island?"

Mandela shook his head. "No, we can't even find out where it is registered. I think it is a company registered in Sargon Rainforest."

"Ah."

Zhou Yi responded and stopped talking to Mandela.

There is one more crucial thing on their trip to Longmen——

——He wants to take the Doctor away.

"Even my second brother has come to Longmen, so why is Rhodes Island still nowhere to be seen? Could it be that because of the butterfly effect, Rhodes Island has no intention of waking up the doctor? "

Zhou Yi was grumbling in his heart.

He doesn't quite remember the timeline of the Ark plot.

He just knew that many things would happen, but he couldn't remember exactly when they would happen.

The plot involving time is deliberately vague. Many things would be hard to explain if the time was written clearly.

For example: Xiosta will complete the construction of the new city in more than two years or at most three years, and it will be officially put into use to develop the new economy.

A city with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, an independent city-state, a new mobile city... the speed of construction is really amazing.

Zhou Yi knew that Rhodes Island would arrive at Longmen for supplies and to trade with Wei Yanwu, but he really couldn't remember the exact time when Rhodes Island would arrive at Longmen.

He knew the exact location of the Doctor's sarcophagus in Chernobyl, and had even visited the sarcophagus hidden under Chernobyl.

But he was worried that his awakening method was wrong, and that if he was not careful, the doctor would not wake up or wake up incorrectly.

Their Nana needs a military talent who can really fight and strategically coordinate the war.

The Doctor also had to make a trip to Columbia.

There are some very important things going on in Columbia that require the Doctor's presence.

Zhou Yi saved a number of sarcophagi stored three thousand meters underground in Colombia.

The preserver Trevor Friston and a series of real humans are waiting for the Doctor to figure out.

The Doctor has a series of very important missions to accomplish.

The great messenger who will make mankind great again is waiting for the Doctor.

Sorry, Doctor, you don't have time to go to Rhodes Island to flirt with the pretty girls and solve some unimportant infected problems.

We want to recreate the supreme glory of that great civilization that is capable of interstellar travel!

The magical cat also wants to create a galaxy like Sword Demon, Dog Head, Tsar, and Crocodile!!

050 They chose to return to Victoria's arms

A few days later, Longmen fell into a rainy day again. Even at noon, the sky was still gray. It didn't look like a good day at all.

But the officers and soldiers in Victoria's fleet all had smiles on their faces, smiles as bright as the sunshine in midsummer.

Even if the weather is bad, even if the superiors come to cause trouble, the bright smile on his face never diminishes.

It’s time to get paid!

Not only are they paid, but there are also additional travel subsidies and a series of allowances and bonuses!

Drinks, cigarettes and even particularly precious candies will be distributed to everyone as gifts.

This is such a happy event! Such a happy event!

Commander Beast Lord even promised to let them take turns on duty, so everyone wouldn't have to stay stuck in the landship port in Longmen all the time, but could take their money to Longmen to spend.

They also arranged for couriers to send letters to their hometowns on their behalf. If they wanted to send money to their families, they could directly register the remittance at the Shi Huaiya family's bank. After the courier delivered the bill of exchange to their family members, they could also withdraw the money directly from the bank in Victoria to spend.

This kind of business would have cost a considerable commission, including courier fees and bank service fees. All in all, if the family wanted to receive the remittance and use the money in Victoria, they would have to pay an additional 22.7% in fees.

Terra is not connected to the entire world.

The cash withdrawal fees of multinational banks are very high.

It still uses the old-fashioned bill of exchange model.

Messengers delivering letters across the wilderness are not just doing the work of postmen. The cross-border business they undertake is more like an armed escort, and they need to face threats from natural disasters, infected creatures, and gatherings of infected people who have become bandits.

Coupled with a variety of other factors, the cost of making cross-border bank withdrawals will be incredibly high.

It even charges based on distance.

There was no internet, no telegraph…the cost of communicating between countries was too high.

Even connecting the various mobile cities within the country is a very troublesome task.

As a result, for so many years, there has been almost no contact between the countries of Terra, and if there is any contact, it is often a geopolitical war.

There are even a lot of Terrans who don't even know the concept of "sea".

If this problem is not solved, Terra will never have any hope.

Problems with communication and distance killed the possibility of uniting this land in the cradle.

Zhou Yi had a few telegraphs that he had brought back from Sargon, but there were only a few of them, and at most they could be used for emergency communications and military operations, and there was no hope of any other commercial or civilian use.

That's why he wanted to go to Columbia with his Ph.D.

He is not a communications or electrical and electronic major, so he does not understand communications. Rhine Life also does very little research in this area.

There are a lot of good things on Rhode Island.

The Bad Guy Flying Vehicle and the telegram are all real good things.

No, only the telegraph technology that can still be used on Terra.

With that communication technology alone, Rhodes Island actually has the ability to change this land.

However, Rhodes Island did not promote this technology that could strengthen connections, but only used it to contact Rhodes Island's overseas branches.

Only technology that can communicate instantly and over long distances can truly enable a country to centralize power.

Once you leave the mobile city, the mobile city network cannot be used, and communication can only rely on messengers to run errands. If you want to get in touch with other mobile cities, people also need to run errands.

No wonder Terra’s political structure and level are like that.

It would take a month for a courier to travel back and forth from Londinium in Victoria to Caraton in Victoria, and if documents needed to be renegotiated, it would take several months.
