"I didn't expect that even though I'm already in the sea of stars, I still have to work." Dongcheng leaned in front of the window and looked outside. He held a cup of coffee in his hand and spoke to the woman next to him while drinking.
The woman's name was Ye Xingxun. She was holding a glass of milk in her hand. She seemed to have just woken up. She was yawning and drinking milk. After hearing this, she said: "If you die, you won't have to work."
Dongcheng said cheerfully: "I'm sorry, I have to work even if I die now. I heard from my dad before that we are carrying out large-scale farming and production down there. Because it is manual labor, we only work six hours a day, and work points are calculated... In fact, it is the currency below, but it is pure credit currency.”
"...It's so boring." Ye Xingxun turned his head and said calmly.
Dongcheng was still going to speak, but a tall and thin man next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "You haven't signed in yet, have you? Be careful and give you a penalty of overdue labor. Once the penalty exceeds five, you can't do it this Spring Festival." There’s no way to go back.”
Dongcheng's face suddenly dawned, and he hurriedly apologized and ran to the colonial station work area.
The tall and thin man ordered a noodle in the restaurant, and while waiting, he came to Ye Xingxun's side and said, "Don't be the same as him. He is careless and can't speak wisely, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. I just wanted to talk to you because I saw how deserted you were."
Ye Xingxun nodded slightly and said, "I know, it doesn't matter. Also, is Xu Yanda in the same group as me today?"
Xu Yanda looked at the countless asteroids outside the window and said, "Well, today we are working in pairs. It's still the old rules. You control the cargo bay and the mechanical arm, and I'll pilot the spacecraft."
Ye Xingxun nodded again and drank the milk quietly without saying a word. Xu Yanda had already brought the noodles and was eating them in a hurry. When he was halfway through eating, he suddenly said: "Recently, I have been working on dark matter information. Didn’t those scientists publish some papers? The public opinion on the Internet is very hot. It’s that article, the theory of salvage of human civilization information, which is said to allow decision makers to cooperate with heroic spirits to go deep into the depths of human civilization information and salvage the historical figures trapped in it. , what about Jiang Ziya, what about Sun Wu, what about Zhuge Liang, public opinion has exploded, right?"
Ye Xingxun frowned, but still didn't speak.
Xu Yanda said nonchalantly: "I'm thinking...if it can really be salvaged in the future and the consumption is not big, can you use the labor points you have saved in the past few years to try to exchange for a salvage quota? Your parents and you younger sister……"
Ye Xingxun turned his head sharply and looked at Xu Yanda.
The left half of her face looked very beautiful, a perfect beauty, delicate and quiet, but the right half of her face looked very uncoordinated, with dull eyes and stiff muscles.
She stared at Xu Yanda for a long time, then turned her head and said, "You talk so much, eat your noodles...leave me alone, leave me alone for a while."
Xu Yanda shrugged indifferently, walked away with the noodles, but before walking away, he still said: "Old classmate, it's almost ten years, you either let it go, if you can't let it go, fight for it, you couldn't do it before, but now Everyone can communicate with each other, there are heroic spirits, and even information about historical figures can be reproduced. Even if your family cannot be resurrected, it would be good to let them go down there. You can still see them at least once a year during the Spring Festival. Otherwise? Keep feeling sorry for yourself?"
Ye Xingxun stood still and didn't move.
It wasn't until a long time later that she slowly closed her eyes.
Almost ten years ago, when she was only sixteen years old, a car accident caused her to lose her parents and younger sister. She lost all her relatives. It also left her with severe trauma and disfigurement on the right side of her face. Her appearance was easy to deal with. , but the facial nerve and right eye on the right side of her face were completely destroyed, and even with the current level of technology, there is no way to completely restore it.
Now, in January of the sixth year of the new century, six years have passed since mankind wandered on the moon. The fifth industrial revolution broke out, and mankind has completely entered the interstellar age. All kinds of new things and new creations are emerging in an endless stream, but human beings are not familiar with the derivatives of science and technology. Almost all of its weight is focused on interstellar colonization, interstellar weapons, interstellar ships, etc., with only a few derivatives on medicine, biology, etc. The right side of her face is still paralyzed, and her right eye is also a prosthetic eye. However, the right eye is a creation of new technology, which, combined with her eye nerve, allows her to see electronic data and infrared ultraviolet light that is invisible to the human eye.
"...Salvage human civilization information? It's impossible to salvage ordinary people from the beginning, right? Otherwise, billions of people are waiting to salvage, but...father, mother, and sister..." Ye Xingxun only has himself. The voice that could be heard murmured.
Alpha Asteroid Belt!
This is humanity’s largest source of minerals!
It is now the sixth year of the new century. More than three years have passed since humans arrived in the new star system in the second year of the new century. The initial national quarrels and voting seem to be just around the corner. After more than half a month of commotion, In the end, humans named the new star Homestar, and this star system was also named the Home Galaxy.
This star system has a total of six planets, including two gaseous planets and four geological planets, but no planets or satellites exist in the habitable zone. The most suitable planet among them is similar in size to the Earth and slightly smaller in mass. The gravity is about 95% of the Earth's. Unfortunately, this planet is too far away from its home star, reaching 30 astronomical units at perihelion and 54 astronomical units at aphelion. The climate is very harsh, and the surface temperature of the planet remains constant. At more than two hundred degrees below zero, this is definitely not an environment that humans can live in.
In this case, after consulting a large number of scholars and scientists, the unified human government decided to use two hundred years to transform the planet, use the ability of the Determinator to send the planet into the habitable zone, and then use the moon's planetary gravity device to change it Its rotation angle speed, as well as its revolution angle and speed, simultaneously ignite a large amount of methane gas on its surface to obtain carbon dioxide and water, and then conduct artificial photosynthesis of a large amount of carbon dioxide to obtain oxygen, and then transform the atmosphere to Transform the planet's terrain, transform the planet's microbiome...
The entire transformation time is estimated to be two hundred years. After two hundred years, this planet will exist as the home planet of mankind, with blue skies and white clouds and deep blue oceans, and the land is covered with green plants brought from the earth...
New Earth, this is what people call this planet.
Now that the moon is outside the satellite orbit of the new Earth, a planetary gravity device is used to "adjust" the planet's rotation and revolution. This process is expected to take nearly fifty years. After all, compared to the mass of the planet, the moon's mass is smaller. There are too many, and the ability of the decider cannot make fine adjustments to such a large planet. This is a waste of time, but thanks to the planetary gravity device, a big killer, otherwise humans would not be able to transform the non-habitable zone. planet.
During this process, human beings also began to spread throughout the galaxy. The moon is naturally the main residence of humans now. In addition, there are a total of three small settlements. Among them, the Alpha asteroid belt is the largest source of minerals for humans. There is a very large spaceport here, which was transformed from an asteroid dragged by a planetary gravity device. Behind this very large spaceport is the asteroid belt, which is the ring area of the largest gaseous planet in the galaxy. It is the largest human body. Mineral origin.
More than two million people live in Alpha Spaceport. At the same time, there are more than a hundred small mineral collection plants within the radius of Alpha Spaceport. Each small mineral collection plant is home to about 5,000 mining workers. Through them The minerals are collected, and then after preliminary processing, they are gathered at the Alpha Spaceport once a week, and then further processed and smelted at the spaceport, and then these alloys and rare minerals are transported to the moon.
In addition, there is the Beta Water Resources Collection Area, which is built on the second largest satellite of the second atmospheric planet. More than half a million people live and work there, and the collected and purified fresh water is transported to the moon.
As for the third residential area, it has the smallest number of people, but it is the heaviest. That is the Deep Space Research Institute, located in the Corboy Belt of the home star. In addition to scientists and other related researchers, there are also people who serve and protect them. The number remains around 10,000 to 20,000 people all year round.
This is the distribution of humans in the home galaxy.
Ye Xingxun is a mining worker. She is a member of the 77th Mining Factory affiliated with Alpha Spaceport. She is both an ordinary and extraordinary worker.
In this era, the definition of worker has been reinterpreted, and it is no longer something that ordinary working-class people can describe.
All workers who can leave the moon and go to the outside world are the elites among the elites. They are the first people among mankind to learn space shuttles, space mining machines, robotic arms, space mineral collection tips, etc., not only academically Passing the examination, both psychological factors and physical factors must be qualified. There are 1.2 billion people in the entire human race. In the end, only less than 10 million people can come out to work as space workers. This alone already explains their status.
In addition to high wages and high social status, the most important thing is that they all have special wages, called labor points, because outer space labor is a special and high-risk occupation after all. This is the kind of thing that cannot be saved once something goes wrong, and it must be Only the elite among the current crowd can take this position, so for every eight hours they work, they can get one labor point, and for every five thousand points accumulated, they can get a heroic spirit quota! !
This is the biggest special thing!
The key is that this is written directly in the human constitution, which is still being continuously added and deleted!
He is an elite high-intelligence talent, risking his life to go deep into outer space, far away from the safety of the moon, and working in danger for eight hours a day. He needs to work continuously for thirteen years without vacations to get a place as a heroic spirit. The condition is to get public opinion. There will be no one to criticize!
This is also why Dongcheng forgot to clock in from get off work before, and Xu Yanda said that he would be punished. Because working hours are cumulative, the legal limit is only eight hours of work in a day. If he exceeds the limit, he is actually taking advantage of the entire human civilization. This labor score But any gold, silver, or jewelry must be expensive!
"Five thousand for one person?"
Ye Xingxun suddenly felt some kind of impulse and enthusiasm, which was extremely rare after the car accident ten years ago.
"Then I need to work continuously for more than thirty years."
Although he said such depressing words, Ye Xingxun inexplicably showed a bright smile on the left side of his face.
