Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 158 High Efficiency Cycle ——————————————

The next morning... well, Jiang Ling's morning, Dongming's morning.Other people's afternoons and evenings.

In the morning of the two of them, Jiang Ling watched Dongming copy a contact form into the access device in the fourth-class cabin.wireless transmission.There are not many people on the contact list, just Yale, Casey and Casey.It was someone Jiang Ling knew.

There are still a few Dongming knows, but Jiang Ling only knows the name and greets him politely, and Dongming also gave it.But this is just in case.It was in an emergency, and when Jiang Ling couldn't contact Dongming and the four of them, Jiang Ling asked for help.

This scenario is highly unlikely.But military habits, the trivial may also have to be considered, so Dongming copied the past.And Jiang Ling spread his hands and smiled, accepting this backup measure.The lowest priority backup action.

Alternative measures with a higher priority?

—Of course it's Yale Kathy Kessing!

……

The access device of the fourth-class cabin is under the item cabinet, just pull it out, and look at a flat board, or a flat box.After opening, there is a screen at the top and an input board below.

The screen looks like a glass panel with frames on all sides.But it is lighter than glass of the same size, much lighter, and much stronger.It can be removed and used, as can the tablet.This allows the crew to use them while lying in bed.

"How strong is it?"

"It's okay to sit on it by accident."

"...Then what about falling to the ground?"

"Free fall, don't fall hard."

"Oh, I'm afraid I can't break it, but you can. So you have to be careful, and I don't have to worry. Is this the bad thing about physical skills?"

"...There are advantages and disadvantages. It's all like this."

In addition, the screen itself can also virtualize a small input board.Of course, typing on the screen is not as convenient as the input board.

In the end, the removed screen can only be used in the dormitory.One's own cabin, the next room, and the corridor of the dormitory.If you take it out, one is not allowed by the regulations, and the other is not a signal.

It's not that technology can't do it...

Cheap public goods, as long as they are sufficient and practical.

Dongming copied the contact form, took down the screen and input pad by the way, and let Jiang Ling play.

The bed wasn't put away yet.Jiang Ling put the screen in front of Dongming, climbed behind Dongming's back and knocked on the input board a few times, then took a look at Dongming's shoulder - sure enough, the miracle didn't happen, she typed out a string of garbled characters!
Jiang Ling erased the garbled characters: "Well... I think, I can learn to type in the gaps between language classes, and just dance with my fingers to relax."

Dongming turned his head and kissed Jiang Ling, turned around and took Jiang Ling off, and put him in his arms: "Don't worry, you can use translation software for writing letters and the like. Your original input method can also be virtualized. You don't want to Go do the paperwork."

Jiang Ling nodded: "That's true. By the way, after the helmet was removed from the carrying bag, it was said to be close range. But I tried it. When I was at Alexander's place, the things were placed in the villa room, and people walked outside the villa. Walking in that wasteland, it's still fine. How far is that thing?"

"The portable bag refers to the field, and the standard is different."

"...How far is that?"

"I don't know. At least a few kilometers."

"……Hey?"

"For investigation work, once the starship lands, the personnel will usually take vehicles. For example, their special mechas, small transport ships. A small team will go out to work, and the small transport ship will be parked with things, and the personnel and mechas will be scattered. Go, work nearby, a few kilometers is a short distance. The mecha is okay, and the personnel have to reduce the load. Few people are willing to carry the whole bag. Wearing a helmet, communication is no problem, and there are symptoms or accidents, and you can directly Diagnosed, that’s why it’s convenient.”

"...Why does it sound like a safety helmet?"

"For field trips, safety comes first."

*********
Different from the portable bag, the access device in the cabin can only be displayed on the screen or simulated.Both are incomplete access.It has very few functions, but at least it can surf the Internet, send emails, and make calls.Of course, external communications are subject to the necessary checks.

In the communication form Dongming gave, next to the name is listed the ship's contact information, cabin number, and...work and rest time.

Work and rest time can be expressed in many ways. Some people like numbers, some people like words, and more people like logo pictures, which are clear at a glance.

Jiang Ling likes logo pictures, and chose a round cartoon head, which is particularly joyful.

This avatar is active, with settings for jobs and favorite leisure activities.Jiang Ling didn't choose at first, so the avatars became crazy busy.

Casey Cassing is working now. On the job, the heads of the two of them twisted with a big wrench for a while, the other punched "bang bang", changed the shovel for a while, and went to the mechanical operation table for a while...

Yale is still resting, which is better.But there are changes.His avatar is sleeping there, and he seems to be sleeping peacefully, but there is a small window on the right, and the starry sky outside the window can't stay idle, changing randomly: a moon slides past, a string of large and small moons run in all directions, a piece of The stars lit up, and a huge planet rolled over from behind. The mountains and oceans on it were clearly visible, rolling over the entire sky gorgeously... That is a binary star system.

And Dongming himself is on vacation. His avatar is drinking tea in the garden, eating snacks in the restaurant, watching the news, listening to music, partying, exercising, playing ball, swimming, gliding, shopping, watching exhibitions, and going outdoors. The bonfire feast... One action changes one content, and I am extremely busy.

So Jiang Ling laughed unsteadily, pointed at Dongming and asked him: "It's okay for them to be busy at work, but you call it a rest?" Dongming also smiled: "I haven't tried it."

Jiang Ling laughed enough and chose a job, soldier.Then there was a subdivision below, Jiang Ling chose the starship, and immediately the four heads were quiet.Kathy Kassin's job change is slow, the starry sky outside Yale's window is almost fixed, and Dongming's is even more leisurely, even more leisurely than Kathy Kassin.

Jiang Ling chose mecha and security for Casey Kassin, and then pulled out their leisure settings. After opening it, most of the contents evaporated, leaving only a few items: the observation cabin, plants Cabin, bar, restaurant, fitness, bath, surfing the Internet. "All gone?"

Dongming followed suit and looked: "These are the ones on the starship, by default. You can add them yourself."

Jiang Ling pondered for a moment, but found that it couldn't be added.This made Jiang Ling feel distressed, so Jiang Ling murmured: "Okay, don't be sad, at least it's better than when we were in school there. You can only go shopping on weekends, in case of homework Too much, and no time for shopping.”

Dongming was slightly surprised: "I didn't. It's much better than in the camp." When he spoke, he realized that Jiang Ling was almost talking to himself, so he immediately changed the subject: "Let's go to the activity room."

Jiang Ling nodded, looked at the time, and looked around the cabin: "Hey, how about washing your face and brushing your teeth?"

The restaurant has washing facilities and bathrooms are everywhere.They used the restaurant after dinner yesterday, and then they only drank a little water, and they didn't brush their teeth and wash their faces in the dormitory before going to bed, so Jiang Ling couldn't find North now.

Dongming also confiscated the bed, and opened a cabinet door from under the storage cabinet, between the luggage cabinet and the emergency cabinet, pulled out a rectangular device with rounded corners, and locked it: "Here, this."

That thing is the size of a toilet bowl.A flush toilet without a tank.It is a regular cuboid with an oval cover.The lid opens forward, however, and when flipped down, locks like everything else in the cabin.There is still a small half of space behind the lid, where things are placed in separate compartments.

Jiang Ling touched it, and it felt more like wood than metal.At the same time, Jiang Ling was puzzled. Dongming exhibited three other cabinets yesterday, but he didn't mention this one—only this one was left out.But another more important thing caught Jiang Ling's attention. She picked up the towel...

Is it a towel?Although it is just a soft ball, like a snail, the round handle is the snail shell.

"Is there no water?"

Dongming put the thing on the back of Jiang Ling's hand, and pointed to a small spray bottle next to the towel grid: "'Little snail' doesn't use water. Spray some water when it feels dry after wiping. This thing can be used anywhere in the room. Wipe..." Pointing to another grid: "There are those who brush their teeth. The water needs to be collected when it runs out. There is no piped water supply in the dormitory area, and the piped water supply is only available in the leisure area. For safety."

"Spit toothbrush water into the toilet... Anyway, at least you don't need to use the toilet as a washbasin." Jiang Ling tapped the toilet lid, "What about this pipe? It's also water."

Dongming squatted beside him, looked at Jiang Ling, and his voice became soft: "Push it in after use, and the machine inside will come and change the liner. The water will be recycled in the dormitory. The remaining dry matter will be transported for disposal..."

Jiang Ling paused for a moment, then came to his senses, and jumped up: "Hey!? Don't tell me that the toothbrushing water and spray water... are recycled water? Isn't it?!"

——Damn, as soon as you get out of the toilet, you wash and enter? !too terrifying!

Dongming looked at Jiang Ling and looked at the toilet: "It's not dirty. It's much cleaner than the drinking water on the ground. Of course, the water on the ground has minerals. The water here doesn't."

"..."

"On the ground, the water excreted by everyone will also circulate in the atmosphere, and then turn into tap water, wash your face and brush your teeth, and cook and drink tea..."

"..."

"Nothing but water molecules. Not a single bacterium. No mineral ions. Good purity, zeros to six decimal places."

"..."

"Emergency equipment is more straightforward. What you discharge, it will turn around and drink for you."

"..."

"The same goes for the equipment in the mecha. They're not handled this cleanly."

"...Okay, I got it, the efficiency is very high!" Jiang Ling resignedly grabbed the little snail and stuck it on his forehead, and "plopped" onto the pillow, "High efficiency cycle!"

"……not bad……"

"At least this cycle is not the shortest...at least the caravans in the desert used to drink urine without water!"

Dongming breathed a sigh of relief and sat down: "It's good that you can think about it."

"People's adaptability is infinite!" Jiang Ling waved his fist towards the ceiling, "I just said this, and it came true..." Jiang Ling got up again, and looked at Dongming, "So, if you don't say it, don't say it ? I introduced those three yesterday, and I only talked about this today.”

"Well, it's actually purely psychological..." Dongming innocent and helpless, glanced at Jiang Ling, rubbed his fingertips against his fingertips, "But I don't think you will like it."

"That's right, I don't like it very much!" Jiang Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, took two deep breaths, and changed the subject, "The part-time bathroom in the bedroom doesn't smell very good... Where's the ventilation?"

"That." Dongming pointed to the place under the storage cabinet where the access panel is pulled out. There is a round button there. "Just press it for a few seconds. In fact, it is always breathing, and pressing it will change it quickly."

"That's true, otherwise I would have been suffocated to death. Molecular board?"

"It seems to be molecular suction.

then……

*********
Dongming was driven out of the cabin by Jiang Ling.

"Come one by one. Don't look."

"..."
