When the train slowed down again, Wang Jianxin looked out from the space.
The scene outside is different.It is no longer a desolate snowfield and scattered small stations, but densely packed buildings, wide streets, and vehicles coming and going.The buildings are taller, the roads are wider, and there are more people.Although it was getting dark, the lights in the city were brightly lit, which was completely different from the places we had passed before.
"Moscow." Wang Jianxin knew it well.
This journey came from the border, took a train for several days, passed through most of the Soviet Union, and finally arrived in the capital.Moscow, the heart of the Soviet Union, was one of the largest cities in the world at this time.The supplies here are definitely many times better than those in Ulaanbaatar.
"It seems it's time to take action." Wang Jianxin thought about it in his mind, "But we can't do it directly at the station. We have to go to the city first."
The train entered the station and slowly stopped on the tracks.Wang Jianxin did not get out of the car immediately, but hid in the space and observed for a while.There were people coming and going in the station, including passengers, staff, and guards in military uniforms.He waited for a while, but no one came to unload the truck. He didn't know how long the lumber train would stay here.
He waited until it was completely dark before coming out of the space.Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention on the platform, I jumped out of the car lightly, walked around the station, and arrived in downtown Moscow.
Moscow is much more lively at night than Ulaanbaatar.The streets were brightly lit, neon signs flashed here and there, and cars passed one after another.There are tall buildings on both sides of the road, some are old-fashioned stone buildings, and some are new Stalin-style buildings, with spires, large pillars, and reliefs, which look majestic.Pedestrians were wrapped in thick coats and walked in a hurry without looking at anyone.
Wang Jianxin wore a Soviet army coat and a leather hat, covering most of his face.This looks like an ordinary Soviet soldier, and you can't tell it without looking carefully.
He wandered around the streets of Moscow for a while.The city was so big that he didn't know where to go for a while.You must go to a department store, but there are more than one department store in Moscow, so you have to find the biggest one.He also wanted to go to the warehouse, but he didn't know where it was.
After turning around, he came to a large park.There is a sign at the door that says in Russian - Scientific Research Institution of the Moscow Main Botanical Garden.
"Botanical Garden?" Wang Jianxin stood in the dark and looked around, his heart moved.
There are various plants in the botanical garden, including trees, flowers, grass, and greenhouses.He was worried about the lack of saplings in the space. Last time he thought about getting some saplings to plant in the space, but he never had the chance.Isn’t it already here?
The Botanic Gardens are not well defended.There was a janitor at the door, but the old man was dozing inside.The wall is not high and it is easy to climb over.Wang Jianxin found a deserted place, jumped lightly, climbed over the wall, and fell into the botanical garden.
The botanical garden is very large, and in the dark, only the outlines of various trees can be seen.Wang Jianxin walked around for a while and found the greenhouse area.A row of glass greenhouses shone in the moonlight.
He quietly sneaked into the first greenhouse.
As soon as I walked in, the warmth hit my face.The lights were on in the greenhouse, and the temperature was who knows how many degrees higher than outside. It was warm, and the air was filled with the smell of earth and plants.Rows of plants are planted neatly in flower pots and seedbeds. Some have grown into big trees, and some are still small seedlings.
Wang Jianxin's eyes lit up.
Apple trees, apricot trees, pear trees, cherry trees, plum trees, sea buckthorn, peach trees, vinegar plums, raspberries, grapes, strawberries - all kinds of fruit trees.Some of them he knew, some he didn't know, but they were good things at first glance.Some of those fruit trees are already bearing fruit, and the red and green fruits are hanging on the branches, which makes people greedy just looking at them.
"There are actually strawberries." Wang Jianxin squatted down and looked at the strawberry seedlings on the ground, with green leaves, white flowers and bright red fruits.He picked one and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and sour and delicious.
Wang Jianxin planted five trees of each type, choosing only big and strong ones.He squatted beside the seedling bed, gently peeled away the soil with his hands, dug out the saplings with their roots and soil, and put them into the space.Five apple trees, five apricot trees, five pear trees, five cherry trees, five plum trees, five sea buckthorn trees, five peach trees, five vinegar plum trees, five raspberries, five grape trees, and a little more strawberry - all income space.
"Anyway, we can definitely survive in space." Wang Jianxin patted the dirt on his hands, feeling very happy.If these saplings are planted, he will be able to eat various fruits within a few years.
After finishing the first greenhouse, he went to the second greenhouse.
The contents of the second greenhouse are even rarer.He saw the introduction on the brand - Moscow apricot.This variety was developed in the Soviet Union. It is cold-resistant, has large fruits and a sweet taste.There is also Sorbus nigra, also called eternal berry. It is said above that it has high nutritional value and can resist oxidation and lower blood pressure.Next to it are Siberian cedar, Manchurian Aralia, hawthorn, euonymus, oak, linden, and lilac.
Wang Jianxin also made several trees of each kind.It would be easier if there is an introduction card, so he doesn't have to guess what it is.Pick out the ones according to the name on the sign.
The third greenhouse is a rose garden.All kinds of roses, red, white, yellow, pink, big and small, single and double, dazzled him.He didn't know the varieties of roses, but he bought a few of each kind that looked good.Plant it in space and it will bloom and smell good.
There are several greenhouses next to it, which mainly contain ornamental flowers.He didn't recognize many of them and couldn't name them, but he did some because they looked pretty.Anyway, it's from the Botanical Garden, so it must be good stuff.
After finishing the greenhouse, Wang Jianxin found the seed bank.There are various seeds in the seed bank of the botanical garden, which are stored in cabinets by category.He rummaged through and found tomatoes, cucumber seeds, and some root vegetable seeds, and took them all.
Wang Jianxin collected the seeds and left the botanical garden.
This trip to the botanical garden was quite rewarding, but it was not his main goal.A real treasure of Moscow, in the shops in the city.
Wang Jianxin drove his GAZ 69 along the street outside and drove around slowly.The night in Moscow was almost the same as the day to him, and with his third-level Qi refining vision, he could see everything clearly in the darkness.
After turning around, he came to a very wide street.The buildings on both sides of the street are very impressive. They are not ordinary residential buildings, but luxurious buildings with sculptures and pillars.There is a sign at the corner of the street that says "Tverskaya Street".
"Tver Street." Wang Jianxin read it again and remembered the name.
He walked for a while on the street and saw a particularly conspicuous building.Not the plain Soviet architecture, but the luxuriously decorated one, gold and white, shining under the street lights.A sign hung at the door - Yeliseyevsky Store.
"This store feels very luxurious." Wang Jianxin stopped across the street and took a look.The store has a large facade with several windows displaying various products.Although it was night, the lights in the display windows were still on, illuminating the contents clearly.
Putting his car into the space, he found the store's backyard.The backyard is small, with a few rooms and a cargo entrance.The wall is not high and it is easy to climb over.Wang Jianxin used the space to teleport a few times, walked through the wall and entered the store.
The store is huge.From the outside it looks like it has three floors, but when you come in, you find that it is a huge hall inside, with a ceiling height of almost ten meters, crystal chandeliers hanging from the top, golden wallpaper on the walls, and white marble pillars with carved patterns.The floor was paved with marble tiles, so bright that figures could be seen.
"It's like a classical palace." Wang Jianxin stood in the hall and looked around.
