Beneath Deep Space

Seeing the real blue sea and sky, they felt a sense of intimacy returning to their hometown.

On the sparkling sea, agile triangular "fish" appear from time to time, swaying their tails and jumping up from the water, as if they are racing with the submarine. In fact, these things jumped out because they were frightened by the water flow caused by the rotation of the submarine's propeller.

Well, strictly speaking, these creatures should not be considered fish. According to the results of biological anatomy, their structure is completely different from that of fish. They even have no spine in the middle. Instead, they use some high-strength meridians like ligaments to maintain the shape of the body. .

In order to adapt to the marine environment, the entire bodies of these creatures are still streamlined and muscular, and they look very much like "fish". This is a kind of convergent evolution.

There are also various fat and tender creatures like sponges sinking to the bottom of the water. They are molluscs, golden yellow, and look a bit like sea cucumbers. Some foodie soldiers even wanted to catch a few and eat them.

However, it is still too far from the coastline, and there are relatively few aerial creatures.

"It's a natural fishing ground. There are so many alien creatures. What's so delicious about seabed sponges? Fish that are full of fine meat are more delicious. There's no need to worry about fish bones... It's not protein when cooked. No matter if it's an alien or not. Product?" Zhao Yao thought simply and roughly.

Of course, they can't really catch fish to eat without the consent of experts.

A few soldiers were just looking into the distance above the submarine, talking and laughing.

"Okay, let's take this anti-allergic pill first, and try to expose your skin and come into contact with the alien atmosphere. Don't be too afraid, you will only have some allergic reactions at most."

A biologist shouted from inside the submarine: "Don't worry, we are superhuman. Our immune system is far superior to that of ordinary people. Ordinary microorganisms in the air will not be affected."

"...The immune system needs to go through a step-by-step process, first with skin contact, then with breathing the atmosphere here, and finally with food! You can get used to it in about a week!"

Zhao Yao and the other soldiers were stunned for a moment, then took off their gloves with excitement on their faces.

They can't wait for a long time!

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve felt the atmosphere of a planet. Just touching it with their skin like this, an unparalleled sense of freshness burst out in these people's hearts.

It was quite cold outside. Because it was relatively close to the Antarctic Circle, the temperature was only about minus six degrees. The water splashed by the high-speed movement of the submarine flew to my hands, which was a bit cold and biting.

The air pressure of this planet is only slightly higher than that of the earth. Even ordinary people can easily adapt to it, let alone superhumans.

Moreover, the oxygen content in Auriga 2 is higher than that on Earth. When humans come here, they can only be intoxicated with oxygen without being deprived of oxygen.

"Idiot! You can't breathe yet!" Zhao Yao saw a soldier taking off his helmet and quickly knocked on his helmet several times.

There were a total of ten soldiers and more than twenty scientists performing this mission.

They want to capture a few Yufu natives, study the specific biological structure, and obtain more information about this civilization.

A quarter of an hour later, the submarine also absorbed a lot of alien atmosphere, sank again, and headed towards the coastline at high speed.

The country closest to the Antarctic base is called "Cisiana". This country is not particularly large and its military strength is not strong. Due to recent energy issues, it is still in a state of political chaos and is most suitable for new human civilization. permeation of.

What's more, everyone looks similar. With the current technology, it is very easy for humans to cause trouble.

"Aurir 2" During the energy crisis, large-scale wars, and the ice age brought about by nuclear winter, the population has been greatly reduced.

The high cost of living after redevelopment has further reduced the desire of ordinary people to reproduce multiple offspring.

Therefore, the entire planet has a population of only 1.08 billion so far, which is in a situation of stable development and the natural growth rate is very low.

Compared with 86% of the earth's land, this population is not particularly large. It can be considered a vast land with sparsely populated areas.

Okay, but compared to the new human civilization, this population can be said to be extremely large... but the quality is not enough, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very wide.

An expert looked at the satellite map and said with emotion: "Cities with geothermal energy, water energy, tidal energy and other sustainable energy sources are of course richer, and housing prices in these areas are also extremely high. Like our previous Three Gorges Hydropower Station, Itaipu Hydropower Station, a super hydropower station, can easily support the huge power consumption of a city. "

"Serious industries are also built on this kind of power station."

Another biologist also said: "Solar energy... is far from enough. One square meter of solar energy, including its 200W electrical power, requires more than 1,000 watts to turn on an air conditioner and 5 square meters of electric panels! This is just An appliance!

Where do you get so many electric panels... Moreover, the lighting time of a day is different in the morning, middle and evening. When converted to the direct sunlight standard at noon, it is only about 3-4 hours... Well, it is a bit overestimated."

"We assume that a household has 10 square meters of electric panels and uses only 8 kilowatt hours of electricity a day. This data may not be accurate, but it is almost like this. A city that only relies on solar energy must be quite short of energy, and even No industry can develop, so we can only live by farming...agriculture."

Controlling energy means controlling the core of civilization. Whether in the oil age or the post-oil age, this is the only law.

But in the post-oil era, even if technology becomes more advanced, life will not be easy... at least for most people. Without witnessing it with my own eyes, people have discussed these things.

Soon, after a day's sailing, the submarine discovered a small fishing boat 300 kilometers away from the coastline.

These soldiers were gearing up one by one, feeling an inexplicable excitement in their hearts.

"Professor, do we have... means to erase memory now?" Zhao Yao looked at an expert and asked.

"No, you are overthinking." The expert saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "It is possible to make a fool or completely erase the memory. It is possible to accurately erase the memory of a period of time. No..."

"So don't think about messing around."

"Is that so..." Zhao Yao thought for a while, "Let's take a gentler approach..."

On the fishing boat, there was a man named Shalinduo looking around. A piece of clothing on his body was tilted more than half way, revealing the waxy wheat-colored skin on his shoulders, which was obviously caused by long-term exposure to the sun.

The small eyes and thin face gave this native a lean look.

But Shalinduo's mental state was not very good. He was chatting away and looking at the empty water.

"Loss money, big loss, Ah Lei..." No large numbers of fish were found on the instrument, which made him scratch his hair anxiously. The smell of fish made the pet "cat" on the boat stare straight at him. .

This time he went to sea, he no longer wanted to make a fortune, he just wanted to get back his roots.

The light blue sea was nothing new to him. During this fishing trip, except for some worthless "Lama Duo", they caught no other valuable things.

"What a loss!"

Shalinduo cursed secretly, but the fishermen's inherent superstition prevented him from cursing the sea and could only curse himself.

He is a serious "third generation farmer" and a member of the lower class of society.

To put it bluntly, he is a farmer.

Farmers are the most common occupation in "Aviator 2 Star", because for this society, the more food, the better.

Food is not only for food, it can also be used to make...industrial fuel! For example, industrial alcohol, as well as methane and other combustion substances, are mostly made from food.

Yes, there is no oil, no natural gas, industrial alcohol is almost the best and most common fuel. Many chemicals and daily necessities are extracted from food, which is somewhat similar to the new human civilization.

With this relationship, there is never too much food, it is impossible not to sell it, and the price is stable for a long time. All unemployed vagrants can go out to open up wasteland and farm. There is plenty of land anyway. As for machinery and other things, just apply for a loan. As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, you will not lose money.

The Shalinduo family, through three generations of hard work, finally accumulated a small fishing boat. With this small fishing boat, he is able to escape being a farmer...and become...a fisherman!

In other words, he has two identities, farming and fishing.

Don't underestimate such a fishing boat. If calculated in federal currency, it would cost at least two million! This number is enough to provide a family with food and clothing for a lifetime.

A fishing boat gave him a small position among the surrounding farmers, and he also found a more beautiful wife and two smart and lovely children.

However, Shalinduo is not satisfied with his current life of farming and fishing, and he does not want his two sons to follow him in fishing. He wants to make more and more money through hard work!

"At least we need to provide our children with a better school and a better learning environment, so that we can join a higher-class society. Being a doctor or a lawyer is considered a middle-class person."

"I want to give you a red envelope from the old village head, and a gift from Mayor Ma... all of these require money. If you don't have money, who will care about you! You're all a bastard!"

Climbing up is not an easy task. Making money is his biggest goal!
