Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 996 Tongyu Shu Tianyuan

As soon as Feng Heshou finished his applause, two waiters brought out a set of multi-sided screens with paper partitions on them, covering one side of the corridor from beginning to end, leaving only an aisle for people to pass through.

After a while, some rustling sounds were heard, as if someone was walking in dragging clothes.

Then a light came on inside the screen, a short-beat drumbeat was heard, and the figure of a graceful woman appeared on the screen, with slender arms and long fingers, a straight neck and a soft waist, posing in a very tense and still posture.

After a while, the drum beats started again, and with the rhythm, the woman began to dance in various graceful and moving poses.

At first the movements were slow and graceful, but later as the drum beats gradually increased, they became faster and faster. The person was spinning motionlessly, and his body movements became stronger and stronger.

This fast-paced song lasted for three or four minutes. The woman's movements never repeated themselves and were changed rapidly. At the end, she gradually slowed down and stopped with a heavy beat, and her movements stopped there.

Then the lights dimmed and they retreated. Although they did not show up, they left behind endless reverie.

Chen Chuan watched calmly. As a fighter, even if he deliberately avoided looking at the real figure behind the paper screen, he could tell from the rhythm of the body movements that the person dancing was not actually a woman.

If he guessed correctly, this should be a creature from the fusion land, a kind of alien "beautiful snake" with human arms. He had seen this thing in some picture books, and its appearance was enough to make normal people feel terrified.

However, this creature can communicate with people, and when its shadow is reflected on certain walls, it looks almost like a real woman. I heard that someone in the old court arranged the "Thousand Snake Dance", which was later spread overseas. It must be this kind of dance. But the manpower and material resources of the old dynasty are not comparable to those of the Langtao Pavilion alone.

Although he saw through it, he didn't point it out because it would ruin the atmosphere.

After the dance was over, the screen was removed, and then a shelf was set up in the corridor and covered with a curtain. Then a man and a woman dressed in ancient foreign Gaotian costumes came up. They wore tall hats, thick and heavy clothes that hung to the ground, and their faces were painted vermilion.

The two of them stood under the shelf, bowed towards the seat first, then sang loudly together, twirling their bodies and dancing to the beat. There was a lot of rhythmic beauty in their singing, and their voices were unexpectedly pleasant to the ears, the male voice was deep and magnetic, and the female voice was clear and melodious.

If it were just this, there wouldn't seem to be anything special about it.

But in fact, these two people are actually two life-size puppets, pulled by strings hanging from above, making all kinds of clever movements, and the singing actually comes from the birds hidden in their hats.

Chen Chuan had also heard of this bird. In ancient times, the palace also domesticated a kind of cleverly-tongued carved bird. This kind of bird could often live for hundreds of years and could imitate the tone and intonation of certain people in the past very vividly. For example, it could imitate the conversations between people in the past and people today and could explain the ancient people's thoughts.

These two eagle birds with clever tongues seem to have imitated the tones of some famous singers, which is why they sound so melodious.

If you only look at the surface of such a performance, it is just an ordinary song and dance, nothing special. But if you can find the hidden things inside, you can unravel them layer by layer, and constantly discover and dig out the wonderful things inside. It can be regarded as a more profound form of expression, which requires a keen eye and a relatively elegant level of appreciation to understand.

He knew the origins of some of the things, but he was sure that the art of singing and dancing itself had its own merits, but he didn't understand them, so there were many things he couldn't understand.

It doesn't matter. Although the performance is good, he feels that the aesthetic is a little bit eerie.

And then he appeared in several other programs, which were also very profound and exquisite. I can't say they were bad, but I always felt that they lacked some vitality.

Fortunately, some of the programs on the venue screen were relatively acceptable, they were all passionate and unrestrained indigenous songs, dances and carnivals. Although this season was not a tourist season and the flow of people was relatively small, the population of the Anying Islands itself was still relatively large, and now that everyone was gathered together, it was extremely lively.

At the same time, most of the senior officials from the government offices of the two central cities were waiting in front of the field screen, awaiting the moment when the field would be connected.

In fact, it is not just them. At this moment, all the central cities of Dashun, all the factions, all the fighting schools, including the Central Supreme Executive Office, and even some countries in the world are also paying attention to this place.

Time moved forward unswervingly, and under the anticipation of countless people, it finally arrived at midnight on the 22nd.

The last few field signal relay stations were added to the field connection, and all the enhanced signal equipment and auxiliary organisms were also fully turned on. At this moment, the field belt on the information channel was active and expanded outward with unprecedented momentum.

Above the two central city squares, there stood huge field screens. After jumping a little, two pictures from each other appeared.

It was a bird's-eye view of the two central cities. At that moment, all the audience waiting below and the people in front of the screen were attracted by the scene above.

The voiceover began to introduce themselves to the people of the two central cities, and greeted the people of the opposite central city on their behalf, which immediately triggered cheers and applause. After the brief greetings, Qi Weizhao, the political affairs director of the central city of Jibei Province, and Su Shangrong, the political affairs director of the central city of Haidong Province, both appeared on the screen at the same time, greeted each other, expressed their heartfelt wishes for the central city of the other side, and announced that the two places could have real-time information connection from today, and the skyline was officially established.

The moment the two finished speaking, warm cheers broke out in the crowd, and clusters of brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky above the square, interweaving with the neon lights, seeming to light up the entire sky in an instant.

After the two government secretaries finished their speeches, a spokesperson for the Government Affairs Office came out to talk about the specific allocation and implementation plan of the skyline.

Skyline resources will be provided to government departments and major national enterprises first, and then gradually opened to local and international enterprises, and finally benefit ordinary people. The two central cities will take about three to six months to complete this process.

Due to the current limited resources, anyone who requests use of the service needs to apply in advance. Of course, those companies that invest in advance and are optimistic about the connection between the two locations are allocated some communication rights, such as Fusion Boundary Company.

Among them, big companies such as Canglong Company and Ocean Development Group naturally got the biggest piece of the pie. There are a lot of resources and land in the overseas market waiting to be opened up, and the central city of Jibei Road can provide various technical support.

After the two places are connected, all the transfer stations along the way and the surrounding islands will benefit from it, and a huge radiation belt will be formed around the information channel, and gradually spread to the surrounding counties and towns and various islands on both sides;
In the next step, all lower-level administrative regions of the two provinces will be included, which will enable deep integration of the two places in terms of administration, military, and economy, and the benefits it will bring are immeasurable.

However, from the 22nd to tomorrow morning, information resources will be fully open for one day, and citizens of both places can enjoy real-time information exchange.

Chen Chuan watched the entire show in the Langtao Pavilion. After the venue was announced to be connected, he tried it himself. He had a brief exchange with several members of the security decision-making team and colleagues from the Defense Department on Erwen Island, and also reported his safety to his aunt's family.

After that, he did not continue to occupy resources, but stayed here with Feng Heshou, sipping sweet dew and enjoying the singing and dancing performances of Haidong Dao.

Of course, he was not completely relaxed. He was still paying attention to news from all sides. If there were any extraordinary forces coming out to engage in sabotage activities at this time, he would go there in time to deal with them. After all, the outer ocean was not like Jibei Road. Anyone could come to the vast sea area, and it was more difficult to defend. The enemies within Dashun had been suppressed, but it was hard to know whether some foreign forces would make any unusual moves.

Fortunately, after achieving comprehensive information communication, even if someone tries to sabotage it, it will not be possible to stop the real advancement of the skyline.

The celebration did not stop until almost dawn. It was not that there were no unusual movements during this period, but the two centers had made sufficient security preparations, and they were able to cope with it as long as they did not encounter excessive forces.

At this time, the fire in the corridor was also extinguished, leaving only wisps of green smoke.

Looking through the open porch door, the snow was still outside, but there was the clear and joyful sound of birds singing.

Chen Chuan stood up at this time and walked out. The waiter outside immediately opened the curtain above to block the snow.

He walked to the front of the steps, looking across the high courtyard to the distant sea and the first rays of dawn on the sea.

Chaoming was just crawling out of its warm nest on a red flower tree in the courtyard. It shook its feathers (it had eaten a lot of good food that night). It chirped towards the light on the sea, and its voice was very distant and loud.

Feng Heshou also came out at this time and stood beside him.

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Thank you for the hospitality of Fenghe Pavilion Master yesterday. The two skylines have been officially connected. It's time for me to go back."

Feng Heshou knew that he had important matters to attend to, so he bowed slightly and said, "Director Chen, if you come to Erwen Island next time, just let me know. I will be waiting for you at any time."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly and said, "Master Fenghe, goodbye."

He stretched out his hand, picked up the Xuejun Sword from the knife rack on the side, and walked down the courtyard steps. After a few steps, he came to the bottom, looked up, and with the support of the force field, his body slowly floated up.

Then a platinum-colored light flashed and shot into the distant sky, and Chao Ming also chirped, leaped from the tree, flapped its wings into the air, and quickly followed, and soon they were one after another immersed in the sea and sky dyed with morning light.
