Chapter 486: The beautiful country

After the group meeting, Wei Xingsi instructed everyone:
　　 "Tomorrow, I will take Xu Qiu and the others to the beautiful country for a meeting, and they will not be able to come back until the 8th. If you stay in China, pay attention to safety when doing the experiment. Don't make trouble for me."
　　 "During this period, if you receive a call from a beautiful country, that is, the number prefixed with ‘+’, please don’t hang up, because I have something to do with you."
　　 "Of course, if there is nothing important, I usually don't call directly, but will contact you via WeChat or email."
　　 "This week, Wu Shengnan, you will be responsible for the operation of the entire laboratory, and you will regularly report on everyone's work progress every night."
　　 Seeing everyone nodded in response, Wei Xingsi continued:
　　 "Xu Qiu, Wu Feifei, and Han Jiaying, we will meet at Jiangwan at 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and we will take a taxi to the airport together."
　　 "You can eat dinner in advance. Don't expect the plane meals on the plane to be delicious. It's better to bring some food for yourself."
　　 "Okay." Xu Qiu responded.
　　 After that, everyone returned to the 40S office. Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying sat together to confirm the flight information for tomorrow.
Xu Qiu glanced at the news that Wei Xingsi had sent him before, and said: "We will take a United Airlines flight tomorrow. The flight number is UA299. It will depart at 20:00 in the evening and arrive in Los Angeles at 6:55 in the afternoon local time. The total flight is The time is hours and 45 minutes."
　　 "Take off at 8 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at 4 o'clock in the afternoon? How come it is early?" Han Jiaying was puzzled, but her mind turned quickly, and she immediately reacted and said:
　　 "There is a time difference, right? 20 plus, minus 6, equal to 5... In other words, the domestic magic capital is 5 hours faster than the beautiful country Los Angeles, right?"
"Yes, the demons are the East Eighth District, and Los Angeles is the West Eighth District. Theoretically, the demons are 6 hours faster than Los Angeles. The difference is 5 hours now because..." Xu Qiu did some homework before and explained :
"The beautiful country uses daylight saving time on the second Sunday of March and the first Sunday of the month every year, and daylight saving time is one hour earlier than normal winter time. Now it is just before daylight saving time, so it is different. That’s 5 hours."
"That's it," Han Jiaying tilted her head, as if "useless knowledge has increased again", and then said: "Tomorrow I will gather at Jiangwan at six o'clock in the afternoon. I have to pack my luggage and drag it over again, okay. Troublesome."
　　 Xu Qiu, who heard the hint from the school girl, immediately suggested: "Or, pack your luggage tonight, and then come to live here in Jiangwan? It will be more convenient to start directly from here tomorrow."
　　 "Um... it's not impossible, but where do I live?"
　　 "Hotel? Or, my dormitory can also be used. I live in a quadruple room alone and have spare beds..."
　　"..."
　　The school girl finally chose the hotel.
　　 Although it is not impossible to stay in Xu Qiu's dormitory for one night in theory, the impact is not very good after all.
　　 If you stay with the opposite sex, being caught is the punishment of recording a major demerit or staying in school for probation, which is quite serious.
　　 April issue, more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
　　 Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying settled for dinner at the braised beef noodle restaurant outside Jiangwan School, and went to Xiancai to gather with Wei Xingsi and Wu Feifei.
Xu Qiu carried a computer bag, which contained a laptop, U-shaped pillow, slippers and other items, as well as a small suitcase, which contained a few changed coats, socks, underwear, a pair of spare shoes, and charging Appliances, power converters, food, etc.
　　 As for important items such as mobile phones, passports, US dollars in cash, and credit cards, Xu Qiu carried them personally.
　　 Moreover, in order to prevent accidents, Xu Qiu, Han Jiaying and Wu Feifei all took pictures of their passports and visa pages with their mobile phones, and forwarded them to each other and saved them.
　　 In this way, if someone loses their passport or mobile phone, at least there is a way to prove their identity.
　　 Otherwise, in a foreign country, the situation may be very bad.
　　Han Jiaying’s luggage is also a computer bag, plus a suitcase, but her suitcase is very large, and it is designed to challenge the limit of the plane’s consignment.
　　 Not only that, the school girl’s suitcase is still bulging, which is the kind that is difficult to close when opened.
　　 Xu Qiu watched as she stuffed a dozen pieces of clothes and various cosmetics in large and small bags last night.
　　 Then the school girl sat on the side of the suitcase and tried her best to close the zipper of the suitcase.
try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 is really difficult for her...
　　 Wu Feifei is also a computer bag, plus a suitcase, her suitcase is also large, and the school girls have a match, maybe girls will bring more luggage when they travel.
　　 Wei Xingsi, like Xu Qiu, is light-packed and simple, carrying a briefcase with a thin fruit brand laptop in it, and a medium-sized suitcase.
　　 After all the four members of the beautiful country on business trip arrived, Wei Xingsi waved his hand: "Let's go, I have reserved a special car and will take us to the airport. Now the driver master is waiting for us at the side gate of the Jiangwan campus."
Teacher Wei came to the school by car, but he did not choose to drive to the airport by himself, mainly because the airport parking fee is a bit expensive. If you have to park for seven days, it is estimated that the cost will be several hundred or even thousands of soft coins. It is better to go back and forth. It's all called online car-hailing cost-effective.
　　 The Internet is indeed constantly changing people's lifestyles.
　　 Like when Teacher Wei first returned to China, he was used to calling and emailing to contact him. When traveling, he also drove himself.
　　 Now, Wei Xingsi is gradually advancing with the times, using WeChat and online car-hailing.
　　Especially WeChat is very friendly to researchers, a group that needs transnational voice and video calls.
　　 For example, Xu Qiu and Wu Feifei usually chat with Feng Shengdong in Sweden. It is very convenient to use WeChat voice chat. You don't need to spend a lot of money to make international calls, but only need to pay some negligible data charges.
　　 However, WeChat is not a panacea. If you have a real-time voice chat with a pure foreigner, for example, you need to use SN or other non-real-time chat methods to communicate.
　　 The driver of the special car drove very smoothly, and the service was also good. He soon sent the four-person group of beautiful country on business to the T2 terminal of Modu Pudong Airport.
After getting out of the car, Wei Xingsi first said: "Let’s get the IFI booked before, so that you can use the Internet in the beautiful country. Although there will be wireless in the RS venue and the hotel, if you go out, It’s very inconvenient to have no internet."
　　 Then, Teacher Wei led the crowd all the way, and finally found a place to pick up the portable IFI in a corner.
　　 Wei Xingsi showed the online appointment voucher to the staff, and got a black box about the size of a mobile phone, and it was also equipped with a charger.
"This is unusable in China, and it needs to be turned off after getting on the plane. You can use it as an IFI when you reach a beautiful country." Wei Xingsi handed the portable IFI to Xu Qiu for safekeeping, and said, "Go ahead." Pretty country, you can just follow the steps above, it's very simple."
　　 Xu Qiu took the portable IFI and studied it a little bit, and found that there was a switch and an indicator light on it. It is now in the off state, and its back is marked with the LAN name and password.
Although you can’t see the internal structure of the box, Xu Qiu’s blind guessing principle should be similar to opening a hotspot with a beautiful country’s mobile phone SI card. The box itself is equivalent to a router. As long as it is turned on, there will be a signal. Use the mobile phone to connect to the LAN to find the corresponding one. Network name, and then enter the password to connect and use.
　　 In addition, the box also specifically marked "Domestic opening is prohibited." Xu Qiu didn't have the idea of ​​turning on the device. If it is turned on in China, it is probably like turning on international roaming, which may require additional fees.
　　 After putting away the portable IFI, Wei Xingsi took Xu Qiu and the others to print the boarding pass and go through the baggage check-in procedures.
　　 The two-step process is similar to the experience when Xu Qiu took the plane twice during the winter vacation. There were no extra steps because it was an international flight.
　　 However, the plane I took this time was bigger than the plane Xu Qiu took when he went home.
　　The specific model is the Boeing 77-9, which can carry nearly 300 passengers. The economy class has three rows of seats, each with 3 people, and a row can seat a total of 9 people.
There are 30 seats in business class, but the fare of business class is too expensive. For non-business people, it is difficult to afford it. The round trip of business class costs 5 soft sister coins, which is almost 5 times that of economy class. .
　　 Xu Qiu naturally bought economy class. When choosing a seat, because they arrived earlier, there are plenty of spare places to choose from.
　　 Finally, Xu Qiu, Han Jiaying, and Wu Feifei sat in a row. In the middle of Xu Qiu, Han Jiaying was by the window, and Wu Feifei was by the corridor.
　　 Wei Xingsi chose the position directly in front of Wu Feifei. As a mentor, he was very self-aware and did not deliberately get together with the students.
try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 That way, each other may feel uncomfortable.
　　 Next, the four of them passed the security check and began a long waiting time.
　　 Although it takes a very short time to fly in the sky, the waiting time on the ground is still quite long.
　　If it is a short-to-medium-range flight, the time spent by plane is not much shorter than that of high-speed rail and high-speed trains.
　　 For example, it takes four and a half hours to take the high-speed rail from the capital of the magical capital, while the plane is a little over two hours. If you count the waiting time for the plane, the difference between the plane and the train is not that big.
Moreover, during the waiting time, you can only stay inside the airport. If you are a business person, you may be able to make phone calls, reply to emails, and negotiate business to use this time. Most of the others can only play games, Chase after the drama, read the book to pass the time.
　　 If you want to stroll around in the airport, you will deeply realize the gap between the rich and the poor in this world.
　　 I won’t talk about all kinds of luxury stores. The marked prices often make people wonder if the store has added one more, or even two zeros.
The prices of 　　 restaurants are also exaggerated.
　　 Xu Qiu originally thought that a bowl of beef noodles for 50 soft girls at the train station would be very expensive, until he saw a ramen shop in the airport with a set of beef noodles for 6 soft girls.
　　 Moreover, the set meal is only a bowl of noodles, a side dish, a bowl of soup, and there are only three pieces of braised beef in the noodle bowl.
　　 From the perspective of appearance, Xu Qiu feels that it is not as good as the bowl he bought at school for more than 20 nights.
　　The key is that such a store does not lack customers, at least it has more traffic than the luxury store next to it.
　　 It is estimated that many people are catching a plane or transiting, and do not have time to go out for dinner, so they have to eat at the airport as a last resort.
　　Because the waiting time was too long, everyone chatted for a while. After the topic disappeared, Wei Xingsi took the lead to turn on his computer and started chasing American dramas.
　　Han Jiaying and Wu Feifei followed suit one after another, each opened AQY and other software, and also began to follow the drama.
　　 Xu Qiu silently took out the phone, opened the starting point, and read the novel.
　　 Compared to videos, Xu Qiu prefers words. A chapter of a novel with a few thousand words can be read in a few minutes. For the same content, a TV series can be performed for 45 minutes. The information density is really low.
　　 Anyway, when Xu Qiu watched TV series, especially domestic films, the whole process was double speed slow.
　　 Two hours later, it was finally time to board the plane.
　　 This flight was also delayed, but it was not as exaggerated as the last time Xu Qiu went home. It was only delayed for about ten minutes.
　　 The crowd lined up, boarded the plane in an orderly manner, and sat down in their respective positions.
　　 Xu Qiu took out the two inflatable U-shaped pillows and two pairs of couple slippers. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is placed under the feet, and the backpack is placed on the luggage rack.
　　 After Wu Feifei saw their couple slippers, she curled her lips, and silently took out a U-shaped pillow and a pair of pink slippers with Kitty sauce printed on her backpack.
　　 Speaking of which, Feifei Wu and her previous boyfriend fell apart.
Now she has changed to a new one. It is said that she met during the Modu Light Source test. The other party proactively added Feifei Wu’s WeChat. Now she is chatting hotly every day, and occasionally I can see her in Jiangwan first. Talking on the phone at the end of the corridor.
　　 As for whether there is a causal relationship between these two things, Xu Qiu is not sure.
　　 After fastening his seat belt, Xu Qiu casually watched the crowd on the plane.
　　 Most flight attendants are blond and blue-eyed... Aunt, really has a bit of spicy eyes.
　　 There are only two flight attendants who look like domestic flight attendants. Although their appearance is average, they are at least a lot stronger than the aunt.
　　 It may be that people of different cultures, ages, and genders have different aesthetics.
　　 Xu Qiu saw Miss World, supermodels, and models that occasionally appeared on Taobao.com's homepage. About 90% of them did not appreciate it, which made him doubt his aesthetics.
　　Until he told Han Jiaying about this doubt, he got the approval of the school girl and let him know that he was not alone in thinking like this.
　　 Among the passengers, a small half are foreigners, a small half looks like university professors flying over to attend the RS conference, and the others are mainly business people, basically no people dressed up as tourists.
　　 After all, it is April, and most people are not likely to get together to travel to beautiful country during this time period.
