Chapter 1685 The Future of the World (First Update, please subscribe)
The real world is so real and cruel!
On the surface, it seems that the close allies are actually the real enemy of life and death.
And it seems to be a irreconcilable opponent. It may be a partner in cooperation.
This is the real world, the most real side.
Just as Li Yian was planning how to unite Russia to fight against the United States, Reagan, the US president more than a decade later, was visiting with great enthusiasm. "It's really amazing!"
It's like many people who have come here for the first time, and are completely stunned by what they see.
Although he had a certain understanding of this land and this city through TV, movies and other related channels a long time ago, now, when he is truly in it, what he feels is an unprecedented shock.
"Nancy, can you imagine it?"
Reagan said to his wife beside him excitedly. "They only took 22 years to create all this. In just 22 years, they have done things that many countries may not be able to do in half a century."
Listening to her husband's words, she was standing on the roof of a skyscraper and looking at the bustling metropolis outside the window, Nancy couldn't help but sigh.
"Before I came here, I asked some people about this. I also read some books introducing this place. Many people call it the equatorial miracle. I don't know what a miracle is, but... when I saw everything here, I finally understood why people regard everything here as a miracle."
Nancy's tone was also amazed. Everything was so incredible that people couldn't believe it was true.
"They have built all this in 22 years, aren't they?"
"Yes!"
Reagan nodded vigorously, and said, "This is the fundamental reason why people call everything here a miracle."
So standing by the window, holding the railing with his left hand and pointing to the city outside the window with his right hand, and saying, "
"This is also the confidence they are in confronting the Russians. Anyone who advocates Russia's flag and shouts for Russia only needs to come here and witness everything here, and they will understand - why do we win the future?"
Reagan's view is not surprising. This is very popular in the entire Western world. In the past decade, the "equatorial miracle" has been passed on to the world again and again through various public opinion tools such as newspapers and television, allowing people to understand this miracle.
And what they learned? It is Western politicians who will use this as an example to tell the public that we are the best, and here is the proof.
It seems that sEA has become a display window for the Western world in a sense, and it shows the prosperity of the Western world's economy.
It is precisely because of this that many people love this place very much.
After all, there is no better example than him.
With this successful example, the Western world can use it to debate with the Soviets - the Soviet Union said they represent the future, so please show us your future.
And sEA is the future of the world!
Like those politicians now, Reagan has this idea.
It can even be said that his thoughts are stronger than others because he has a certain personal emotion.
Looking at the city outside the window, Reagan, standing on the skyscraper, couldn't help but sigh again. "This is the future."
This is the impact SEA brings to people. No matter when, those who are new to the city will always be affected by some kind of impact.
Even until now, SEA is a very curious place for the whole world.
In the eyes of many modern people, to a certain extent, Chang'an is the representative of cyberpunk cities.
Although glass curtain wall skyscrapers have been rapidly popularizing around the world in the past decade, Chang'an, as the origin, is still considered to be full of technology.
Not just high technology, but also a rich life.
In a sense, cyberpunk is even redefined here.
It shows the main body of the future city: the rainy city; the crowded streets and the heavy rainy men graffiti, creating a decadent but sci-fi city scene, which is also considered to be the prototype of the earliest cyberpunk city.
And because of this, this place has become a paradise for many fans of tall buildings and cities. Especially when it rains, people are walking under the neon lights with transparent umbrellas. At this moment, people are like being in the future.
"This is the future."
Watching the people who were walking around in the roadside corridor, George Lucas was stunned by the neon lights and rain in front of him.
The colorful neon lights embellish this rainy night into a world full of magical colors, with colorful rain falling on the streets and on the umbrellas.
Pastors are carrying various umbrellas, and some are wearing modern transparent raincoats, raincoats, and the umbrellas reflect colorful neon lights.
It all seems not only magical, but people will have an illusion that this is the future world.
"I understand, I know why they can make so many science fiction movies, it's here..." George Lucas' tone became a little excited. He finally came to this country and was exploring Kuching like a person with dreams.
After graduating from college, he went to Hollywood like his classmates. I participated in the shooting of many movies, including some science fiction movies.
But, I don't know why he always feels missing something?
What exactly is missing?
Until now, in this somewhat magical modern city, George Lucas finally understood what was missing - it was this feeling that the future was filled with in the air.
This is not available in all American cities, whether it is Los Angeles, Chicago, or New York. Although they also have dazzling neon lights and tall buildings, the skyscrapers full of classical atmosphere look like the color of the whole city is dark.
How could that kind of darkness and that kind of depression belong to the future?
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Americans have such poor imagination about the future.
But it’s different here. The first moment I’m here is the breath of the future. It can even be said that American film directors can't imagine this feeling. "It's here." George Lucas said to himself with some excitement: "I will stay here in the future."
As a science fiction fan, George Lucas believes that he can achieve higher achievements here.
But soon, as a foreigner, he had to face a very cruel reality.

""The US passport stays here for no more than 6 months and does not engage in any work or business activities,"
In a coffee shop in Kuching, George Lucas's brows became tighter and tighter as he listened to his friend's introduction.
"If you want to get a job, you have to apply for a work visa or a work permit. If you don't have a work permit, you will never find a job. ”
Looking at his friend George Lucas, he asked, "Then how did you find a job?" "There is different now than in the past." Frank shook his head and said.
"Just 20 years ago, anyone could come here, as long as they were willing to come, the official would even send planes and merchant ships to pick them up.
But now?
You have also seen that it is very difficult for people from other countries to obtain visas, except for visa-free countries, unless they are the hard-earned talents here. "
In the past few years, although sEA and most countries around the world have visa-free visas, this visa-free visa is often unilateral.
Only, it is exempt from the United States, Western Europe, Canada, Australia and other surgical countries. Even many Commonwealth countries do not have visa-free visas.
Frank shook his head helplessly, and then said:
"This is the change of times. Now only the urgently needed personnel can obtain a work visa." Frank's answer made George Lucas ask anxiously.
"Ultimately needed talent. Then I..."
Before he finished speaking, Frank poured a bucket of cold water and said:
"If you are a well-known movie star or director, you may be listed as a special talent and introduced, and will be subject to quota restrictions.
For now, there is no urgent need for talents in the entire cinema because they don’t need them at all. "
Frank said as he shook his head.
"So, it's almost impossible for your application to be approved. "
The friend's answer immediately made George Lucas feel lost. After thinking for a while, he said.
"So, I heard that studying abroad does not require tuition fees. If I come here as an international student, can I work here? ”
"George, look here..."
Frank pointed to the city outside the window and said, "Do you know why this place developed?"
"It depends on industry and science. So the urgently needed talents they need are the industry elites related to this.
The scholarships they provide for international students are limited to science and engineering.
Maybe they are rich now, but they are not rich enough to use taxes to subsidize foreign students free of charge.
So most liberal arts majors cannot provide scholarships. Of course, if you are willing to pay a few thousand dollars in tuition, that's another matter. "
Sometimes reality is so cruel. Although George Lucas came to this land with his dreams, hoping to realize the value of life on this land, he found that the world was so unfair.
I was turned away!
But even so, he was still like many people with his dreams - trying to get out of here.
