Chapter 691 Penglai’s Fairyland

Sure enough, as Zhang Qing said, the people on Socotra Island did see them. Not only did they see them, but warships sailed overnight. Following the signal guidance on the signal tower, they went to welcome the first fleet from the Song Dynasty.

In the early morning, the ships on both sides met, but the captain of the other party refused Zhang Qing's invitation to the ship. Instead, he replied with a light signal and told Zhang Qing what was going on below.

"Dr. Martin, the president of the 'Chinese Academy of Sciences', is already organizing people to welcome you. Please follow us, we will arrive around tomorrow morning. Welcome, our brothers and sisters!"

I want to despise Martin here. He used to be the head teacher in the physics and chemistry laboratory in a high school, but here he gave himself a doctoral title, which is really a bit... Of course, if you look at the knowledge of scholars at this moment, you will naturally not even be able to achieve high school level.

When Socotra Island appeared in front of everyone, the impression it brought about was absolutely shocking for the people from the Song Dynasty and Jeju Island. Especially the refugees from the Song Dynasty. Although most of them had finished elementary school courses during their days on the boat, when they saw this, they still couldn't help but admire them.

From the port alone, the port here is at least ten times that of Jeju City in the Song Dynasty. But here it was also the time when Zhang Qing separated from the civilians. Some passenger and cargo ships with spinnades appeared near the port.

"Sorry, Principal Xiao, it's a civil port, and we...you know we are the navy, we are going to the naval base!"

In the civil ports on Upper Socotra, unauthorized warships are not allowed to dock. This is a means by which Martin tries to reduce military rights. After all, the stall is not small at the moment, but if we don’t share it now, the military’s rights will be too large, which will affect economic and civil affairs and other matters.

No matter at this moment, the complete separation of military and political affairs has not reached a fundamental level. At least in the city of Huaxia, ordinary things are managed by the mayor of the city. For Martin, the president of the Academy of Sciences and the island owner of the Pearl Sprigs, Xie Jielai Duer, the entire Socotra Island is not too difficult to manage.

After Xiao Hongyan and Zhang Qing said goodbye, they boarded a passenger and cargo ship of "Ride the Wind and Waves". Looking around, the sailors were all Persians, but when they spoke to each other, they were all in Chinese. Of course, they said with their tongues, and they couldn't understand it. The people on the same boat were naturally on the list of Pu Jinshu, which was to reach the Chinese Academy of Sciences for Martin to choose from.

Among these so-called scholars, there are those who read a lot of books, and some are just tentative magistrates or blacksmiths. Nowadays, these people sit on the "Ride the Wind and Waves" class boat, and they sit there one by one and make noise in the market, which is different from Xiao Hongyan's preferences.

Together with most of the relatively elegant people, she came to the bow of the boat and observed the far shore. There you could see a small corner of Huaxia City. Some white buildings with a height of more than 10 floors stand in groups. This is different from the buildings on Jeju Island that are built like city walls.

It was hard for Xiao Hongyan to feel strange. In fact, Martin did not intend to build a building like the Black and White Castle on the Island of Ferryke, which was more self-protection than development. It is almost a modern city. Except for the lack of electricity, although Martin understands the principle of generators, it is not the time to play with that thing.

As for the buildings, there is no need to be confused. Arabs can afford to build 10-story buildings, and Socotra Island, which has mastered the modular technology of steel and cement, can naturally afford to build taller buildings. If it were not for the constraints of steel, the buildings might be more than the highest 15 floors.

The windmills on the coast are in a row. Obviously, there is a power system with the same wind and hydraulic composite power system as on Jeju Island. Although it is not as convenient as electricity, fortunately it is a one-time investment that benefits permanently.

As the dock got closer, the situation on the dock surprised Xiao Hongyan even more. At least the trestles there were formed by suspension bridges, and they could even be lifted and lowered. No matter whether it was a big ship or a small boat, there would be no slope. When Xiao Hongyan came to the shore through these floating trestles, she was even more surprised.

The roads on Jeju Island are just paved with sanhe soil roadbed and blue bricks. So they are replaced with cement, but at least now, because the cement used during construction is too large, they do not care about paving the road. But here, Socotra Island is a total of cement pavements. Judging from the appearance, they are all huge cement modules instead of cast cement pavements. Near the house, they are completely tiled pavements.

Here, he saw a group of quite funny people. They were wearing shoes with small wheels, or riding bicycles with bamboo bodies, and wearing uniforms... When they saw the weapons they were hanging on, Xiao Hongyan was surprised to find that they all had the so-called "divine weapons" like Pu Jinshu.

Compared with the army, this two-round loaded shotgun is more suitable for police equipment. The number of police officers is similar to that of the army, with a team of 10 people, and the captain is equipped with revolvers. Of course, these are all bronze weapons. As for steel weapons, the design has been completed, but a large amount of iron and technicians are required to be equipped.

Only the policemen on Socotra Island were equipped with only 100 people. But Martin believed that the combat capabilities of the police force composed of more than 100 veterans would have been very good.

In addition to those people, the people who came to pick them up from the dock were Arabs with big beards and Europeans. However, judging from their expressions, Xiao Hongyan could see that these people were all scholars and the like.

"Hey, this must be our young talented lady, Miss Xiao! Welcome to Socotra Island, I am the island owner Martin!"

Looking at the sound, Xiao Hongyan saw that she was an old man with a white beard and hair of the same color. She was surrounded by a beautiful woman with Hua Xin Fang's age.

Xiao Hongyan was dizzy for a moment. She couldn't believe that this was the Martin, the scholar who accepted the "divine metaphor" who not only created everything that no one understood, but also created the current His Royal Highness Ji!
