Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

February 1979, Yunlan City, Iskushuban Airport.

Locke Ramsey and Betty Ellis, a couple from the United States, walked out of the airport.

“Oh God, it’s so hot in here.”

As soon as the two of them walked out of the airport, they were hit by a rolling heat wave. Because this is Yunlan City close to the equator, it is very hot all year round.

Before coming, Locke and Betty had both done their homework, but they had never expected that the weather in Yunlan City would be so hot.

Fortunately, they can take a taxi.

Taxis are air-conditioned and there are car rental shops near the airport.

So, when they saw the car rental, they instantly became excited.

The car rental business was also launched at the end of last year. It is designed for some tourists to provide convenience for them.

In fact, most tourists who can come out to travel are not short of money.

If Yunlan City wants to retain these tourists and even make them come back again, diversity of services is a must.

At the airport car rental company, Locke and Betty made a selection and rented a Zodiac luxury car for $10,000.

These were the only three Zodiac cars in the rental company, and now there is only one left.

Locke Ramsey is not a man who is short of money, and he will not be stingy with the money when going out for fun.

In addition, since its birth in 1972, the Zodiac luxury car has become a benchmark for the world's top luxury car brands and a representative of high quality.

Even though it is now in Yunlan City and has become a car for a car rental company, it does not affect its status at all.

Simply because the price of renting a Zodiac car is not something that the average wealthy person is willing to pay.

The average price of the Twelve Zodiac cars is over HK$3.97 million, or HK$4 million per car, which is about US$500,000 when converted into US dollars.

Locke and Ramsey only rented the place for five days, but the daily fee was two thousand US dollars.

Even so, it was because Locke Ramsey held a platinum card from the Island Development Bank that exempted him from the deposit. Otherwise, he would have to pay an additional deposit of US$100,000 to successfully rent the car.

So, in this case, how could the status of the Zodiac car be low?
Can ordinary people afford to rent it?

Locke and Ramsey were driving their luxurious Zodiac car on the smooth road of Yunlan City. The road was flat and the scenery in front of them was pretty good. In addition, the air-conditioning temperature in the car was kept at 16 degrees, so the two of them were very happy.

Half an hour later, they arrived safely at the main urban area of ​​Yunlan City.

They had already inquired at the airport and found out that there were two five-star hotels in Yunlan City, and the one currently in operation was Yunxingzhou International Hotel.

So now they come here, book the hotel through the front desk, and check in smoothly.

After a brief rest in the hotel, they went out with great enthusiasm to their next destination.

Yunlan City has already put out a lot of promotional advertisements in overseas places such as Sam's Club, including zoos, amusement parks, gardens, beaches, etc. There are many places to visit here.

Although Yunlan City is indeed a new city, its development speed is astonishing.

Locke Ramsey and his team immediately drove to the sea of ​​flowers, which was more than 80 kilometers away from the main urban area.

There are a large number of lavender, tulips, roses, etc., and large areas of them are very beautiful scenery.

Faced with this extremely beautiful sea of ​​flowers, Locke and Ramsey were completely captivated by it.

It’s so beautiful.

It's February now, and there are flowers in many places around the world, but it's rare to find a sea of ​​flowers.

What’s more, where else can you see these free seas of flowers while driving a car?
From landing at the airport to checking in at the hotel and then arriving at the sea of ​​flowers, it took Locke and Ramsey less than a day.

The car rental service is definitely the best service they both think of, no doubt about it.

After all, being able to rent a car means they can travel around the city of Yunlan City.

"Locke, do you think we can see other scenery if we continue to go south?"

Betty Ellis suddenly asked, and Locke Ramsay immediately looked at her, and then the two of them understood each other and immediately stepped on the accelerator and headed south at a rapid speed.

Yunlan City used to be the Somali region, full of pirates and poor people.

But in just two years, the situation has changed dramatically.

Locke Ramsey and his companions continued to head south, and after leaving the sea of ​​flowers, the scene they saw was still vast stretches of farmland.

It was almost time for the rice harvest, so they saw a large amount of golden rice, as well as some date palm trees and a large number of palm trees around.

This kind of scenery is also very beautiful.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

You can't see pirates anymore, but you can see such a beautiful harvest scene. Even in such a farmland area, the country roads are still asphalt roads, which are very smooth and beautiful.

Why did Zhao Mancang dare to let those people from the Propaganda Department release the promotional video?
This is because a large number of Chinese construction workers have already connected most areas of Yunlan City with these roads.

Two highways running from north to south connect Yunlan City and Mogadishu.

In addition to highways, there are a large number of roads.

There are two types of these roads: one is a four-lane urban road in both directions, and the other is an ordinary road with two lanes in both directions.

Road standards similar to this are the highways in Yunlan City.

If it is one level lower, it is an ordinary country road, which is a two-way bicycle lane.

There are speed requirements for driving on such a trail, which cannot exceed 50 kilometers per hour.

Locke Ramsey and his team were now driving on a country road, so they could see a lot of farmland.

Although it was a country road, they were still able to drive on the asphalt road, which shows how hard the construction workers have worked in the past two years.

At the same time, how much construction materials have been transported from outside to the deep-water port terminal of Yunlan City?

Otherwise, it would be unlikely that so many roads could have been built in such a short period of time.

After seeing these farmlands, Locke Ramsey glanced at the odometer and found that they had traveled more than 130 kilometers since they left Yunxingzhou International Hotel.

And what surprises are waiting for them ahead?
Continuing forward, they soon saw a flat grassland, which was really a very flat grassland.

There are more than a thousand horses on the grassland, some are grazing, and some are galloping.

"How about we go horseback riding?" Seeing this scene, Betty asked eagerly.

Locke Ramsey naturally would not spoil the fun, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"But how did they do it? I remember a few years ago when I looked at the satellite map, this place was completely barren."

Hearing Locke Ramsey's words, Betty couldn't help but roll her eyes:

"Don't say that. We haven't completed our mission yet. Let's experience it first."

Yes, these two are not ordinary lovers, but people with secret identities.

It is true that the two are a couple, but at this time they are both carrying out an investigation mission, which is how Yunlan City managed to develop this city in just two years?

Without mentioning the sea of ​​flowers or the farmlands we saw earlier, let’s talk about the grassland in front of us.

It used to be a Gobi desert with no grass growing, but what about now?

Full of vitality!
This is the prairie!

Although there are savannahs in Africa, they should not appear in the original Somali region.

Lockramsey used to work in the satellite monitoring department of SAM Space Agency, so he could always see those maps of various places.

When he is bored, he likes to study the geographical environment of various places, which is equivalent to traveling to that place.

However, he remembered very clearly that the Somalia region had always been a desert area and it was impossible for such lush grass to grow there.

Unless everything they see is just an illusion.

But, is it possible?
Eyes may deceive, but they have all come here and felt it for themselves. This is the scent of grass, it cannot be fake grass.

After parking the car, the two got out and came to the grassland horse farm management office, where there was actually someone to receive them.

"Hello, we are tourists. Can we visit your place? We would like to ride horses."

After some communication, Locke and Ramsey paid the money smoothly and then got on their horses.

The horses they ride are not ordinary horses, but Ferghana horses.

This thing is only found in Turkmenistan in Central Asia and is the national treasure of their country. However, in Yunlan City, you can see a large number of Arabian horses, and tourists can also ride them.

Awesome!
Locke Ramsey and Betty Ellis, who were riding on the Arabian horses, were even more surprised.

Yunlan City is a place full of weirdness, like a paradise on earth, and it has become like this overnight.

The two of them rode on their horses, galloping across the grassland, feeling so happy.

After they were far away from the crowd, they slowed down and dismounted to check the condition of the grassland.

They used the tools hidden on their bodies to easily dig up a patch of grass, revealing the soil, but it was not what they imagined, but moist soil.

The two were dumbfounded and exclaimed:

"Oh my God, this is real soil, and it's so moist. Could it be that they really transformed this desert Gobi into a real grassland in just two years?"

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
But no matter what they guess, the investigation results do not lie.

The two men still didn't give up, so they ran to another place and dug again, but the result was still wet soil.

This grassland is just as they see it, it is grassland, nothing else.

Locke and Ramsey were very uneasy and chose to continue investigating.

In the next few days, the two of them drove this Zodiac luxury car all over Yunlan City, studying the farmlands and flower fields thoroughly.

This place is a very normal and real scene, not a virtual scene set in a movie.

They took a lot of photos, which are the results of their investigation. They will take these results back and submit them to their leaders.

After all, they are traveling on public funds this time and are here to carry out a mission, so they must produce some impressive results.

I just don’t know whether the people above can accept such a result.

Just as Ramsay and Ellis finished their tour in Yunlan City and left in a hurry, feeling "still not satisfied", another plane from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia arrived at the Iskushban International Airport.

The visitor was His Royal Highness Nasser Aziz, the most powerful prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He brought his team to Yunlan City just to come and see this neighbor who suddenly appeared.

Zhao Mancang did not come to the airport to greet the other party in person, but met him at the administrative compound in Yunlan City.

Lu Yangui, the person in charge of Yunlan City, is a talent found by Zhao Mancang from China. He is a professional specially hired to help manage Yunlan City.

So throughout the whole process, it was Lu Yangui who met and chatted with Nasser Aziz, and Zhao Mancang was just listening from the side.

Half a month ago, Yunlan City launched tourism advertisements, inviting tourists from all over the world to check in.

However, he did not expect that the neighboring Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would actually send a letter expressing its intention to visit. After obtaining Zhao Mancang's consent, Lu Yangui replied to the other party.

I never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has real power, would come to Yunlan City in person to visit.

However, the eldest prince was in shock when he landed at the airport.

Because wherever he looked, he saw lush greenery.

This level of luxury far exceeds the royal palace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

You know, Yunlan City, like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is located in the Middle East. It is all desert or Gobi, and most places are barren.

However, Yunlan City was so different. It was a sea of ​​lush green, vibrant plants swaying in the wind, shaking Nasser's heart.

"How did you do it?"

On this day, Nasser and his team drove to the so-called sea of ​​flowers, which was one of the highlights of the commercial.

It was also the destination of Nasser's trip.

Because they really want to know how Yunlan City did this?
Where does all the fresh water come from? Where do all the plants come from? How much advanced technology is needed to make these plants grow so well?

So Nasser blurted out the question to Lu Yangui: How did he do it?

It would be impossible to transform a Gobi desert area like Yunlan City into such a sea of ​​flowers without half a century.

So who exactly is Yunlan City, and what kind of super powers does it have?
"Your Highness, I cannot tell you how we did it specifically, because this is the secret of our Yunlan City. However, I can tell you responsibly that we in Yunlan City do have a lot of high technology." (End of this chapter)
