Chapter 1174 Telescope Telescope

The next day, Han Li checked out of the hotel after breakfast and found a higher-end hotel on another street to stay.

Yesterday at midnight, cousins ​​Viva and Betty delivered goods to the door for free. Han Li looked at them and said that they were pitiful. If he didn't exercise, they would feel uneasy.

Although Han Li worked a night shift and was blessed with a little mental power, it was precisely because of this that he was more determined to check out of the hotel.

Because Han Li wanted to live in a hotel with such unprofessional ethics, he didn't want his room to be opened by others without permission, and he didn't want to get up inexplicably in the middle of the night to work overtime.

The hotel Han Li stayed in this time should be the tallest near the University of Glasgow, and he also chose a room on the top floor.

Such a location allows Han Li to observe more directly this city, which was originally the pearl of Scotland, an important industrial center of England, and a source of wealth, but now has lost its luster and is full of gray tones, poverty and despair.

After Han Li settled himself, he went to a bookstore near the University of Glasgow and bought some books about the city, as well as maps and guides for going to the Scottish Highlands.

Perhaps Han Li was lucky. After buying things, he heard some news he wanted to know while eating in a restaurant.

The two people sitting in the seats next to him were students from one of the two major and one minor medical schools at the University of Glasgow. They were discussing some diseases in a low voice.

These were originally none of Han Li's business, but they mentioned the Nuox Castle, which took away the disabled children from the shelter for a fee, which diverted his attention.

It turned out that their mentor would take these two people to the branch next to Nuox Castle as assistants in a few days, and also talked about some cases and many professional terms.

Although some of the topics were only mentioned a little bit, they immediately reminded Han Li of the Vasili Rhodes who he sent away at the London Hawkes Seaside Villa, so he decided to go and take a look.

[There are currently three medical schools at the University of Glasgow, namely St. Mungo's College, Anderson Medical School, and Glasgow Dental School.

It was not until the 1990s that it was changed to a medical school, a veterinary school, and a life science school. The best research level is psychiatry and social medicine.]

In addition to this news, Han Li also heard about some special dance halls in Glasgow in this restaurant, and news such as robberies in a certain neighborhood.

On the way back to the hotel after dinner, Han Li saw a good second-hand shop. He remembered that he had found those banned books on the market in Edinburgh last time, so he walked in directly.

There are some old furniture, old books, jewelry of unknown authenticity, some vintage toys, lamps, and a separate shelf with many different models of telescopes.

Han Li didn't know whether these things were real or fake, but the authenticity of books could not be deceived.

Unfortunately, Han Li didn't find any precious or rare books here. At this time, he cast his eyes on the shelf with the telescope.

Han Li also didn't recognize these telescopes, but the boss put an introduction about them below.

Here is the M3 6X30 military telescope produced by the United States during World War II. Han Li recognized it immediately after seeing the name.

It is said that in 1944, the United States military observation group gave one to the instructor, and later the instructor took it to many places. This telescope was deeply loved by the instructor.

The reason why Han Li recognized it was that there was a telescope of the same model in Liu Lao's home. It was said that he seized it on a battlefield in the south.

The paint on Liu Lao's telescope has been repaired in many places, and it has been repaired many times. Whether it is the lens or the focusing mechanism, the situation is worrying. Now it can only be placed at home as a decoration.

Han Li has seen the same telescope now, of course he has to buy it, and the telescopes sold here are better maintained.

But there is no hurry now. This telescope has aroused Han Li's curiosity. He plans to buy it after seeing all of them.

Next, Han Li saw the German-made Görtz 6X24 military telescope, the Leitz 6X30 telescope, and the Leitz 6X30 dual-tuning telescope produced after World War II.

It can be said that all the famous German telescopes are available here, but unfortunately there is no Zeiss 6X30 military telescope.

But think about it, the Zeiss military telescope was specially customized from East Germany in the early days of the founding of our country, and there is almost no possibility of it being spread to England.

Of course, the most in this store are the 6X30 military telescopes made in England during World War II.

This telescope was made in England in large quantities during World War II. At that time, it was mainly equipped with the Air Force. The red dot screws on it were used to install other equipment. Unfortunately, this store does not have those related equipment.

Finally, Han Li bought all the nine M3 6X30 military telescopes produced in the United States in this store, and bought one of each of several telescopes produced in Germany, and finally bought two almost brand new English 6X30 military telescopes.

The boss saw that Han Li wanted so many telescopes and thought he was a telescope collector.

He strongly recommended a 6X24 military telescope produced by Swiss Roll to Han Li, saying that this telescope was very famous in those days and was the main equipment of the Swiss Roll army.

Finally, Han Li left the second-hand store holding a large cardboard box, which contained 15 telescopes.

Han Li now found a new toy and couldn't help himself. After returning to the hotel, he made himself a cup of tea and sat at the window with the telescope to watch back and forth.

However, because the observation area of ​​the window was limited, Han Li simply ran to the roof and looked around.

Han Li first looked at the Clyde River with the telescope, where there were Glasgow Shipyard, many large warehouses, and dormitory buildings and apartment buildings built by the factory for the workers.

However, there is no longer the prosperous and lively scene there. The factory is closed and the dock is closed. Only the security departments are still patrolling back and forth.

There are flat roads in the factory, warehouse, and dock. Several workers in their prime sit in a sheltered place. They burn tires from nowhere to keep warm.

The open space in front of the dormitory building was paved with sand and gravel, and there were some children from the families of employees playing on it. They had no idea of ​​the current situation faced by their parents and families.

Whether they were young, middle-aged or old, the faces of the people living here were all etched with poverty, confusion and despair, and some people even had a crazy look on their faces.

Han Li also saw the most famous slum in Glasgow, which was a four-story building.

The rows of houses looked very stylish, but below were desolate and empty streets.

Occasionally, two people walked face to face on the road. They would not have any communication, but would only look at each other vigilantly and move away from each other at a faster speed.

But when Han Li pulled the telescope back to the vicinity, it was still a prosperous scene,

with clean and tidy streets, many Victorian-style building blocks, beautiful houses, huge parks, solemn municipal buildings and churches.

There was a mother on the road with a smile on her face, leisurely pushing a stroller, walking forward slowly.

There was a group of children dressed brightly and beautifully, riding small bicycles and playing in the park.

There are also luxury cars parked at the entrances of restaurants and cafes, and the owners of luxury cars are drinking afternoon tea that costs tens, hundreds, or even hundreds of British pounds each time.

Two completely different living environments in one area, this is Glasgow in Scotland now, the former industrial center, manufacturing center, source of wealth, and the jewel in the queen's crown.

There must be worse places than this in England, but this Glasgow is definitely the most polarized city Han Li has seen since arriving in England.

***

After Han Li had dinner in the hotel, he walked towards the junction of the rich area and the slum area according to the news he heard at lunch. He wanted to see what the characteristics of those special dance halls were.

Han Li saw the garbage piled up on both sides of the road and the bumpy road surface as soon as he got off the car. Although this is a junction, the sanitation of the street can show that this is already a place that is not valued.

Han Li looked at the colorful signs around him and thought that there were really many special dance halls here.

Because Han Li had never been to this kind of dance hall before, he smoked a cigarette in the shadow of the roadside, and watched the people go to that dance hall for reference.

Now this time is the peak time for these dance halls, and this cigarette time almost let Han Li get a general idea of ​​the situation.

Han Li eliminated those older people and those dance halls that were dressed very ordinary people, and chose a dance hall that was most visited by young and decent people.

The person who bought the ticket here was a 30-year-old aunt. The person in front took out ten British pounds and got the ticket and went in.

When it was Han Li's turn, the aunt may have seen Han Li's Chinese face, so she reminded him deliberately.

"As long as you go in, even if you only stay in the dance hall for two seconds and come out, the ticket will not be refunded. If you want to sit in the booth inside, you need to pay extra when ordering drinks at the bar."

Han Li nodded to show that he understood, took the ticket from the aunt and walked in.

Han Li heard deafening music before he entered, and felt a wave of heat as soon as he entered.

The next thing that came into view was the shining lights of various colors, and a large open space in the middle of the dance floor illuminated by several bright lights.

Not far from the entrance was the bar counter selling alcohol, and next to the bar counter was a long row of sofas with many people sitting on them.
