Chapter 312: The First Voyage(1/2)
The simple house in the office had been demolished, and Han Qi took Sean to the back garden.
"If it were designed according to orthodox Chinese-style architecture, this would be a side hall."
"The side hall?"
"Oh...I forgot you don't understand this. Have you been to China before?"
"I've been to Shenlongjia."
"As expected of you..."
Han Qi originally wanted to enter this room and sit for a while, but when he came in, he found that there were no chairs in it, and the plastic chairs left by the previous workers had also been taken away by them. Now this room is empty. What was originally a very small room now looks like
It feels quite big.
Sean was not afraid of getting dirty, so he found a place to sit down and said to Han Qi, "Have you ever boarded a ship before?"
“Does the cruise count?”
There are many rivers in Europe. Sometimes two cities are just across the sea. Even the town where Han Qi and Ingrid went to before only takes about ten minutes by boat from Oslo. You can see clearly just standing on the shore.
of seeing.
So he took a lot of cruises.
Sean knew that Han Qi had never been to the sea by boat, so he was very excited and danced with Han Qi to demonstrate the dangers of the sea.
"You are offshore, right? This is different from the deep sea. Our ship is going to the deep sea of the Arctic Ocean. You will know how exciting it will be by then. I hope you will not be afraid. Once we go out
, one person’s ideas alone will not make the captain look back.”
"I have participated in car rallies, so some bumps are not surprising."
Han Qi seemed very indifferent. With his physique, was he still afraid of seasickness?
With various professions and even special swimming skills, it is no problem to call him a humanoid monster.
Algernon called at this time.
"Han, where are you? The mayor is here and wants to see you."
"I'm in the back garden, I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone and looking at Sean, he waved his hand: "Go ahead and do your own business first. You are the protagonist here today, and I also want to take a good look at this building. It's really beautiful. I want to
Take a lot of photos and send them to my friends.”
"Thank you." Han Qi nodded to him and walked towards the main building.
People like Sean are typical people who are not famous, but whose works have a profound influence.
No matter how the times develop, photography will always be a profession hidden behind the scenes. What the audience can see is the world in front of the photographer. Without any special circumstances, it is difficult to see what is behind the picture through the camera.

"The National Library's 'Chinese Library', led by Chinese designer Han Qi, is open to the public today. The library is the first purely Chinese-style building in Europe. In terms of scale, area, and artistry, it has reached the world level.
Top level. Now it has received 100,000 tourists in the three days it has been open. The ratings given by visitors are extremely high. Some netizens have already said that this is a place that must be visited when traveling in Europe. Netizens from all over the world responded positively..."
Han Qi was sitting on a sea ship and opened another newspaper.
[Oslo Daily]
"After hundreds of years of erosion, the Second National Library finally announced its reconstruction last year. It took less than a year for the new library to stand on the ruins of the past. The new library retains the original
The collection of books includes a total of 17,386 volumes of Norwegian manuscripts, 156 years of Latin Bibles and ancient Turkic books. It also adds ancient Chinese manuscripts, cultural relics, porcelain, books, etc. from different people's collections. Residents from all over Norway are welcome to visit

"well."
Han Qi sighed.
When these cultural relics were delivered, I was still chatting with the old curator. He casually told Han Qi that they had bought them from the British.
Han Qi wanted to buy some of them and take them home, but the curator didn't agree with the price.
He was still reading the report about himself in the newspaper, when suddenly a messy and smelly brown chicken coop appeared in front of him, with a strong smell of alcohol.
"Hey kid, what are you looking at?"
"Here you go..." Han Qi pushed the newspaper to him, stood up and said, "I'm going up to get some air. How much wine did you bring and why are you drinking every day?"
The drunkard put the newspaper Han Qi gave him in front of his eyes and read each word. When he heard what Han Qi said, he took the newspaper and waved it in his hand: "Not much, not much. It's only half a cabin, enough for us."
Drink until the end of this month."
"Oh my God."
What is the concept of half a cabin? You brought dozens of tons of wine?
Awesome!
Han Qi walked up in a hurry, wanting to go to the deck to breathe fresh air, but it was difficult to fulfill such a simple request, because Han Qi felt that the sea breeze blowing from the sea carried a fishy smell.
He and Sean boarded the ship the day before yesterday. Sean, who had boarded the ship a few days earlier, seemed to have become accustomed to life at sea and liked to stand on the observation deck and look at the distance of the ocean.
Animals are very close to him, and seabirds often land next to him, and he snaps them with his camera.
Han Qi was a little envious.
He now wanted to see if the waves on the sea were big, otherwise it would be good to pass the time fishing in the afternoon.
Before even stepping onto the deck, the entire ship suddenly began to rock from side to side. Han Qi quickly stretched out his hand to hold on to the railing next to him, exerting so much force that he made a loud banging sound.
"Don't be afraid, you have to adjust your focus." The person who wanted to read the newspaper with Han Qi said in the dormitory,
Looking back at him, he was standing in the corridor in the middle of the dormitory without any disturbance at all. He was standing in a horse stance, with his center of gravity sometimes on his left leg and sometimes on his right leg. He kept changing with the rhythm of the rocking of the ship, keeping his upper body still.
, showing an encouraging expression to Han Qi.
It seemed as if he was asking Han Qi to let go of his grip on the railing and sway from side to side with him.
The movements are very simple and good, and he can do them easily, but sometimes he just can't react.
For example, just now, if Han Qi had nothing to rely on on the deck, he would definitely have fallen. And Han Qi felt that this should be related to practice makes perfect and conditioned reflex, because Han Qi's brain after living for decades told him not to move his center of gravity easily.
These two consciousnesses are contrary to each other, so it is difficult for new people to change them in a short time.
Han Qi even felt that he was a master if he could avoid seasickness.
He had never thought that riding on a boat would be so rocking. Even riding a horse would be a hundred times more stable than riding on a boat like this.
Those who suffer from motion sickness will probably feel vomiting if they ride in a carriage for a few hundred meters, but if they ride on a boat... if they experience what Han Qi is feeling now, it will only take a few breaths, and after a little time, they will vomit so much that even their own mothers will not recognize them.
It is possible to lose ten kilograms in ten days.
Han Qi staggered onto the deck, walking like a drunken man, swaying from side to side, but couldn't fall down.
There was a lot of water on the deck. Two young sailors, less than twenty years old, were mopping the floor with giant mops that were longer than ordinary mops. When the two mops were placed side by side, they could clear a large area of water stains at once.
"Brother Han Qi, are you awake?"
"kindness."
One of these two people is eighteen and the other is nineteen. They don't want to go to college and were forced by their parents to make a living on their own very early... So Han Qi is not the youngest person on the ship.
Except for Han Qi, a young man who paid money to play, all other young and new sailors were bullied by the old sailors.
In addition to Han Qixian, there are seven people on the boat. The two children are the worst. The two do at least four people's work. They are the busiest every morning. The boat calls Tom, Jimmy's voice comes and goes, and then crackles.
The sound of running barefoot.
"We are done. You will tell us your travel story later."
Han Qi looked up at the sky, pointed at the mast and said, "Actually, your brother Sean has more stories. Don't talk about you. Sometimes I want to hear them."
I can only call it a trip, but Sean's experience can be considered an adventure.
People definitely prefer listening to adventure stories than ordinary travel.
Sean on the mast suddenly shouted:
"Han Qi! Please give me something to eat."
An object wrapped in paper was thrown from the sky, but it felt light and airy when it fell, and Han Qi grabbed it with quick eyes and hands.
Soft?
"What is it?"
Han Qi asked casually, but didn't wait for Sean's answer because he had already opened it.
It's a piece of cake.
"Orange cake, my friend gave it to me when I set off. There is no more, just this one!" The wind on the boat was very strong, and Sean had to shout hard to make the people below hear him, so the man who was resting next to him
The seabirds all flew up, "This is for you, hurry up and get used to it. Tomorrow we will go to the place where whales often hang out to visit whales. Don't let your chain wander!"
Han Qi shared a little bit with the two young sailors and took a bite himself.
