"We are journalists, and we have the right to take photos."
Several foreign media outlets, witnessing this scene, immediately stepped forward, aiming their cameras and microphones at the ticket inspector.
They tend to amplify and embellish any negative remarks made by the other party before publishing them.
Let them know that these reporters aren't pushovers either.
The ticket inspector raised an eyebrow slightly at the scene, but didn't seem to care at all.
"You're here as reporters, so you must be highly educated. A train can travel hundreds of kilometers in a minute; do you think you can handle that kind of overload?"
Um?
Upon hearing this explanation, the reporters standing nearby were stunned.
That makes sense, doesn't it?
Reaching hundreds of kilometers in a minute requires an overload exceeding many times the speed of sound; such a load is truly beyond their capacity to withstand.
"And what about them?"
The reporter pointed to the other passengers present, saying, "There's no way they could withstand such overload."
"They can withstand it. The latest rice released by Huaxia contains some special ingredients that can help them resist this level of overload."
Many passengers stood aside waiting for an explanation.
They were also a little worried after hearing that riding this train would involve enduring tremendous overload.
Fighter pilots undergo special training and wear anti-G suits to prevent overload.
Many people were surprised when the ticket inspector mentioned the latest rice.
"The freshest rice we eat has this component? I just thought the rice tasted really good; I never imagined it had such effects."
"It's more than just delicious. I used to not like eating rice much, but now I eat rice every meal, and I can even eat it without any side dishes. I never knew rice had such benefits."
"I heard it was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Things from there really are different."
The passengers nearby whispered among themselves upon hearing this, none of them having imagined that the rice they were eating, which they considered to be of such high quality, was actually quite extraordinary.
The foreign journalists were stunned. According to this logic, the other side's decision not to let them go up was actually for their own good.
But wouldn't this mean they couldn't visit each other's trains, nor could they verify whether those trains could truly travel hundreds of kilometers in a minute?
However, some reporters were quick-witted. After finding out the train's destination, they immediately contacted their colleagues there and asked them to wait in the waiting room.
If, after the train arrives, you see the same passengers inside as you are seeing now, then it means the other party has truly accomplished their mission.
The most obvious example is the Huaxia journalists who accompanied them.
They couldn't get on the bus, but local Huaxia reporters were allowed to.
As the reporters began making their calls, passengers started boarding the train.
They then arrived at the platform.
The train stopped in front of the platform is somewhat similar to the Harmony, yet also somewhat different.
It has the same design, but the exterior is coated with a silver-gray color and has some red lines, giving it a very high-tech feel.
Upon closer inspection, the passengers noticed that the train had no windows and was a closed train.
Filled with curiosity, the crowd boarded the train.
The decorations inside the train didn't seem to surprise anyone much.
"Why does it seem like this is no different from the Harmony high-speed train?"
One passenger looked around, somewhat puzzled, and started taking pictures with his phone.
I still felt somewhat disappointed.
"It doesn't look that different, but we're here to see if we can get 500 kilometers away in a minute. If it's just a one-minute ride, the place is so nicely decorated, you're only going to be sitting here for a few minutes anyway."
"That's true, but if such technology really existed, I would have imagined seeing a train carriage brimming with cutting-edge technology."
The passengers discussed the situation as they found seats and sat down.
A group of passengers took their seats, and the doors closed a moment later.
Then I felt some movement inside the carriage; it must have started moving.
As the crowd curiously looked around, they suddenly felt a strange pressure.
This sense of pressure caused some people to feel a slight discomfort, which then disappeared.
Some people, however, didn't seem to feel much, as if nothing had happened.
Time passed slowly, and just as everyone was wondering if they had arrived at their destination, an announcement came over the loudspeaker.
"The train has arrived at the station. Passengers, please disembark in an orderly manner."
The train doors then slowly opened.
The passengers on the train were all stunned. "What's going on? We've arrived already?"
"Is this for real? I just warmed the chair, and we're already here?"
The passengers on the train felt this was truly absurd; it made no sense that they had just sat down and already arrived in another province.
More than 500 kilometers!
Amidst the incredulous expressions of the crowd, some passengers finally disembarked from the train and looked around.
The website has indeed changed a bit, and the name on the site has also changed.
Is this really Ning'an City?
Standing at the station, the people couldn't tell exactly where they were.
Some clever people simply took out their phones and started locating their positions.
When I saw the location on my phone, it showed that I was indeed in a city more than 500 kilometers away.
A sudden, inexplicable tremor ran through me.
"Damn, we really did cross over 500 kilometers in just one minute! Check your phones, the location definitely shows us in Ning'an City!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other passengers nearby stirred and took out their phones.
Upon seeing the locked location on their phones, all the passengers inexplicably felt a chill run down their spines.
"It's true, it's really hard to imagine that our country's technology has reached this level. We just boarded the train, and the next moment we were in another city."
"This technology is terrifying. It feels like you can instantly travel to a location a hundred kilometers away. I'm really curious about what kind of technology this is."
"We saw a lot of skepticism online before, but now they can shut up. We really do have that technology!"
Passengers were utterly awestruck as they watched the sudden change of location on their phones.
They then began to leave the station.
At this moment, countless reporters who had heard the news had already gathered at the exit station and had been waiting for a long time.
