Chapter 7 Artificial Rainfall
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Huang Mao and the other three walked in, chatting and laughing. When they saw Su Ming, they immediately walked up, hooked their arms around Su Ming's neck and spoke enthusiastically.
"Brother, I heard that there is an open-air fashion show on Blue Valley Street today. There are many girls with great figures. How about I take you to be eye-catching and relax?"
Although They are a boarding school here, but the rules are not very strict, so you can still run out.
“No thank you, I’m going to the library.”
Su Ming politely rejected the proposal of Huang Mao and the others. He was now very pressed for time and had to race against time to make amends.
“Library?”
Huang Mao and the others looked at Su Ming in confusion.
They remember Su Ming as working very hard, but he didn’t work hard enough to go to the library?
“Well, see you later!”
Su Ming didn't explain much and left the dormitory in a hurry.
Ten minutes later, Su Ming appeared at the door of the library.
He raised his head and looked at the bucket-shaped building, lost in thought.
His Mient Intermediate College ranks third in District 13. It is a college that many people want to get into.
Not only is the teaching quality here excellent, the most important thing is that the hardware facilities are also excellent. Not to mention anything else, their school can provide numerous mecha training cabins, which can provide long-term training for the entire class of students at the same time.
Other bad schools, as well as schools on other backward planets in the old federation, they might have only one training cabin, and the entire class of students takes turns to study.
And their school also has a very large library, which contains relatively comprehensive information.
This is why Su Ming can't wait to come back to school. Only when he comes back can he study more efficiently.
Su Ming strode into the library, and soon the spacious and bright hall came into view. The sunlight filtered through the glazed windows and shone on the smooth marble floor.
On the edge of the bucket-shaped building, rows of bookshelves are placed against the wall, seven meters high, with a dazzling array of books placed on them.
There is a miniature automatic suspension device next to each bookshelf, which can be stepped on to easily reach the books on the upper shelf.
In the center of the hall, a spiral staircase gracefully spirals up, leading directly to the second-floor reading area. The escalator handles are still made of bronze metal, revealing the charm of the years.
The huge library is full of students coming to study, but it is relatively quiet.
However, as Su Ming came in, he still attracted the attention of many students.
Their eyes fell on Su Ming one after another, and some of the students who were with him talked in low voices.
"That's not Su Ming who hanged himself. Why did he come to the library?"
"I guess he's evil and wants to come here to meet Lin Chuyu."
"It's all a joke. I still don’t give up, I really don’t know what to say, I don’t have any self-awareness.”
Ignoring everyone’s unusual looks and whispers, Su Ming walked to the borrowing area and quickly scanned the bookshelf.
From time to time he reached out and pulled out a book he needed.
After a while, Su Ming carried five books and walked up the stairs to the reading area on the second floor.
He found a seat by the window and sat down, then flipped through the first book he borrowed, Modern Chronicles of the Old Federation.
The entire book is at least twenty centimeters thick, and the font is still small, but the content is recorded very comprehensively.
Although history questions do not account for many basic points in the urban examination, they are still very important. Su Ming took a deep breath and began to read carefully. He flipped through the pages very quickly, staying on almost every page for less than ten seconds.
Some students in the distance showed disdain on their faces when they saw Su Ming flipping through the book so quickly.
“It’s so fast, just a quick glance.”
“This guy is not here to learn at all, but to show off his existence.”
“Leave him alone, let’s hurry up Study on your own. If you fail the city exam, it will be over.”
“That’s right.”
Time passed little by little, and Su Ming was highly concentrated and kept looking through the chronicles of the old federation.
Although the content of the modern chronicles of the Old Federation is very boring to some people, it is particularly interesting to Su Ming.
Su Ming was immersed in his own world, ignoring everything around him.
At dusk, the sunset light gradually disappears and the sky gradually darkens.
At this time, a pleasant radio sound suddenly resounded throughout the thirteenth district.
"Dear citizens, it is now the year 4618 of the old era. On May 7, at 6 p.m., the 13th District will usher in the annual Rain Festival. The administrative district chief, Chief Zhou Jinglan, has officially authorized the start of the rainy season system. The 13th District The artificial rainfall will last for 60 minutes, and I wish everyone a happy holiday.”
As the broadcast fell, a breeze blew outside, and pattering raindrops fell from the dark sky.
There was a slight ticking sound on the ground, from the top of the house.
Many people and students came outdoors to embrace the drizzle.
Although the entire thirteenth district has a complete rainwater collection and water circulation system, turning on artificial rainfall will still cause considerable water loss.
The most intuitive reason is that many people in Xiacheng District pick up various containers to collect rainwater, which can save a lot of money.
Therefore, artificial rainfall will only be started during the annual Rain Festival, and the maintenance time is not fixed. It is determined more based on the water resources reserves in the Thirteenth District.
This shows how scarce and precious water resources are.
Su Ming, who was concentrating on reading at this time, turned over the last page of the chronicle, raised his head with some unfinished thoughts, and subconsciously turned to look out the window.
The patter of raindrops outside the window kept falling, washing the spotless ground. Rows of street lights turned on in the rain, and students rushed into the rain happily. Some raised their heads and let the cold rain wash away, some knelt down and stretched out their hands to embrace the falling rain, and some danced in the rain.
Su Ming looked at the scenery in the rain outside the window. He was entranced for a moment. In an instant, the whole world seemed to have stagnated and became unusually quiet.
In Su Ming's eyes, the falling raindrops were as slow as falling feathers.
Su Ming was stunned, his eyes showed disbelief, and the rain scene outside the window seemed to be frozen at this moment. No, to be precise, it was stagnant.
The next second, Su Ming's heart trembled slightly, everything returned to normal, and the rain fell.
Su Ming was in a daze for a moment, thinking about the abnormality just now.
Just when Su Ming was lost in thought, a figure suddenly jumped up and sat sideways on his table.
Su Ming raised his head and looked over. He saw a tall boy with a high nose, an arrogant expression, and a hint of ruffianism. His ears were studded with silver earrings. A group of people stood behind him. The little brother with bad eyes.
The students sitting nearby studying at this moment stood up and left in panic, for fear of being harmed.
