Chapter 1740 (1/2)
The road outside the city is a hard dirt road. The traces of wheel rolling are obvious. The carriage is also bumpy on the road, and the driving experience is very poor. However, after entering the city, the road becomes a cement pavement, and the feeling of bumpiness drops to the lowest point. The feeling of driving is much better.
Ape man invented cement?
Ning Tao was really surprised when he looked at the concrete pavement outside the cage. However, it is not surprising to think that ape man took the scientific and technological route. Even machine guns and cannons have been built. He can make cement.
The streets are bustling with people, mostly ape people, and their clothes are relatively bright. Some children walk together on the road with their schoolbags on their backs, skipping and looking naive and lively. There are many shops on both sides of the street, selling clothes, bread, stationery, furniture and so on.
The words on the billboard are all in Chinese, and the advertising language on some billboards is also very interesting.
For example, brother ape, let your woman look at you differently.
For example, apening, everything is possible.
For example, hurricane fan, master core technology.
There are many more.
Seeing these, Ning Tao's heart can't hide a kind of absurd feeling. Isn't this the route that mankind once took, but eventually human civilization was destroyed. Now ape man has embarked on this route. Who can be sure that after thousands of years of development, ape man will finally reach the peak that human beings have reached and drive the interstellar warship to conquer the Starry Sea?
Humans are not the only masters of this planet. Dinosaurs before the ice age were once the overlord of the world. At that time, human ancestors were probably still in a puddle, looking at the sky with wide eyes and thinking about why the big fireball in the sky was so dazzling.
The carriage advanced slowly.
Ning Tao's ears collect all the sounds that can be collected, and his brain arranges those sounds and sifts information from them. In this state, thousands of ape people and Kun people speak in his brain, and he can hear all the voices at the same time.
”Mom, I want bread.”
”Xiao Ming, shall we go to play after school this afternoon?”
”Fifty great apes have a regular health care. Come and play.”
”My son went to the north and heard that there was going to be a war.”
”The Terrans are looking for death. We didn't destroy them. How dare they attack shenghuadun city.”
”I heard that this war will test new weapons and completely destroy the Terran.”
”It's long overdue. You shouldn't be merciful to the Terran.”
These conversations generally poured into Ning Tao's ears and echoed in his head. His brain cleared away some useless, leaving war related and useful information.
The carriage came to a square.
A statue stands in the square.
The statue is dozens of meters high. It is an ape woman, holding a torch in one hand and a rifle on her shoulder.
At first glance, Ning Tao thought he saw the statue of liberty of the lighthouse. If it wasn't an ape woman and there was no rifle on her shoulder, the posture of holding the torch was really divine.
”Here comes the saint's Square. A little further past is the 1776 boss's house.” Tang Dao said.
Ning Tao glanced at the statue of the ape man woman and asked, ”why do you call her saint?”
Tang Dao looked back at Ning Tao and said fiercely, ”are you talking to me?”
Ning Tao deliberately showed weakness and lowered his head: ”boss Tang Dao, no, I'm just curious and talking to myself.”
Tang Dao said with a smile: ”it's right to use honorific words. I can tell you that it's because the son of that woman created the great ape Empire, so his mother became a saint.”
Ning Tao nodded: ”thank you.”
But he didn't think so. Ape people are imitating and learning from human beings everywhere, but they have a sense of imitation. The son born to an ape man woman created the great ape empire. It should be called the virgin, but it's called the saint. It's a bit nondescript.
At this time, Ning Tao's head screened out the dialogue between the two people.
”I have to go to the grand palace. I want to give the latest report of Nanli base to the first warrior ape valiant general.”
”Go ahead. Let's have a drink in the evening.”
”I'm afraid I can't. after submitting the report, I have to rush back to Nanli base to report. My friend, I tell you that the new weapons are too powerful. I have to join the transportation team, or there will be trouble. Those soldiers are very stupid. I don't trust them.”
”Well, my friend, we'll get together when you return triumphantly. Bye.”
Ning Tao looked in one direction.
That's just the west of the city. These conversations came from that direction.
Ning Tao's mind moved, shelled out and moved to that place in an instant.
Here is a larger square. At the end of the square stands a magnificent classical building, with palaces, walls and gardens, covering an area of at least 1000 mu.
What he saw was what Ning Tao saw. From a commanding position, he had a panoramic view of the whole square and the grand palace.
