January 15th, northern Russia, White Sea coast, North Dvina River estuary.

Outside Severodvinsk.

The heavy snow had just stopped, but the white snow had been crushed into mud and water by the traffic. Vehicles were slowly crawling forward. In front of them, a joint military and police sentry was checking every vehicle.

When the inspecting police officer opened a car and saw two oriental faces inside, he was stunned.

"Take out your passport," the policeman said.

An Ge and Tan Weiqi looked at each other and handed over the passports in their hands.

Then seeing two red Chinese passports, the policeman was speechless.

He pointed to a fork in the road next to him and said: "I'm sorry, Severodvinsk is only open to Russians for the time being. If you are Chinese, you should turn around now and go to Arkhangelsk, and then go to the seaside tomorrow... But now

Arkhangelsk is already full, or you can go directly to White Sea City... But I suggest you just spend the night in the car, because it is impossible to find a hotel anywhere now..."

The Russian police actually don't have a good reputation, but the police I met today were very friendly. They didn't make it difficult for these two reckless Chinese tourists and even showed them the way.

An Ge and Tan Weiqi in the car looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Tan Weiqi said: "We are from Dongwon University and are participants and organizers of the school song competition. Someone received us in Severodvinsk."

"You?" The policeman was a little unconvinced.

"Yes, my name is Tan Weiqi, and I am a singer in the school song competition. His name is An An, and he is the president of the school song competition organizing committee." Tan Weiqi said.

The policeman still didn't believe it. He muttered something, then took out his communicator and said something, and then a policeman who looked like a police officer came over.

"Please get out of the car!" The police officer knocked on the window politely and muttered: "I have encountered more than ten fake people today..."

Tan Weiqi sighed and started touching his pockets.

In the early years, the Russian police really acted recklessly and took advantage of others. In the past two years, they have been punished quite well, but there are still some old habits that are difficult to change. Moreover, he is more familiar with Moscow, and the journey here this time is quite far, so

He had already made preparations when he arrived.

The police officer was a little happy to see Tan Weiqi taking the road like this. He stretched out his hand without any guilt. Just as he was about to take the ruble from Tan Weiqi's hand, he heard a scream from next to him: "Ah, Tan!"

"Tan!"

"It's Tan!"

"Tan, I love you!"

Countless heads protruded from the window next to them, like weeds growing in the sunshine, stretching in the direction of Tan Weiqi.

Countless mobile phones are shinier than the sequins on girls’ skirts.

The police officer was immediately confused.

What's happening here?

Before he could say anything, a middle-aged official ran over quickly and said in fluent Chinese: "Who is Mr. An? Hello, hello, I am from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Leonkov.

and other gentlemen are already waiting for you..."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a police car drove over, flashing its lights, and opened the road, leading Tan Weiqi and An Ge's car all the way to Severodvinsk.

An Ge leaned against the window and looked out the window curiously.

This military-industrial town and military port in northern Russia is not only an important base for the Russian Northern Fleet, but also the location of the world's largest nuclear submarine manufacturing plant.

The entire town has a population of only 200,000, most of whom are employees of the Severodvinsk Shipyard, soldiers of the Northern Fleet and their families.

On weekdays, the city is not even open to foreigners.

Even today, only those who have passed the review can enter Severodvinsk.

Ange looked out the window.

This city is a bit like some of the small county towns he remembered seeing when he was a child.

There are almost no high-rise buildings in the entire city, and there are no modern buildings. Most of them are square, five-story buildings with balconies and thick double-layer windows.

But today, there were a lot of people on the streets of Severodvinsk, and many vehicles were parked on the roadside. The people in the cars seemed to be planning to spend the night in their cars.

There are some tents not far away. Brother An really doesn’t know what kind of genius is planning to camp outside at a night of more than 20 degrees below zero.

However, he was very understanding.

Because this afternoon, Sea Dragon Palace will arrive in Severodvinsk for rest and supplies.

And tomorrow afternoon, the school song competition's first performance in Europe will begin.

What do you think of the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of tourists in Severodvinsk?

For Severodvinsk, the population of the entire town doubled in just one day.

Fortunately, this is a highly militarized town, and its organizational capabilities are far superior to those of ordinary cities, so it didn't become a mess.

Gu Xiaobai's performance directly paralyzed traffic in Indonesia, and now, Russia is also under tremendous pressure.

Gu Xiaobai's performance is definitely overwhelming for countries with relatively weak organizational capabilities.

Especially now, Russia is in a severe winter.

The Russian government even dispatched a very high-level team to be responsible for reception and on-site command.

Since yesterday, the capacity of aviation, railways and roads between Moscow, St. Petersburg and Severodvinsk has been reached.

Hotels everywhere have long been full, and Russian officials have issued notices to coordinate these tourists, who are scattered in multiple cities on the edge of the White Sea.

At that time, the Dragon Palace on the Sea will spend a day picking up and dropping off tourists just like it did in Southeast Asia.

But even so, the pressure on nearby cities is very high.

Not to mention, many spectators would rather set up tents in Severodvinsk or huddle in their cars in order to see the arrival of the Dragon Palace on the Sea with their own eyes.

People have to worry about whether someone will freeze to death outside after this night.

But these tourists are obviously not worried about this. They are waiting in the car happily or going out shopping.

In addition to tourists, local residents who saw business opportunities and small vendors from all over came here after hearing the news.

On several main roads in Severodvinsk, the aroma of Russian-style meat skewers and Russian-style pancakes floats everywhere, and there are also some young people who are not afraid of the cold, eating fried ice cream in the low temperature of minus 20 degrees.

Some young people organized parties spontaneously, drinking and dancing in the open space.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, An Ge frowned.

To be honest, this was also the first time he felt the appeal of the Dragon Palace on the Sea and the school song competition, or in other words, Gu Xiaobai.

But even if he was personally involved in it, he still felt that it was a bit magical.

When the vehicle stopped, he got out of the car and saw Victor, the president of Moscow State University, and another Russian official.

Just as he was about to step forward, he heard a roar above his head.

The two fighter jets crossed Severodvinsk and flew to the northern sea.
