Chapter 12 New Environment
Since the permanent population of the Tiangong Space Station reaches hundreds of thousands, it has been seriously overloaded.
So newcomers like Xie Shen who have just arrived at the space station can only live in a square matchbox with an area of less than 4 square meters.
Commonly known as ‘capsule room’.
These rooms are like honeycombs, densely packed into a huge metal cube.
Below the metal cube are a canteen, public toilets and bathing areas for both men and women.
——The gender awareness of the space station is gradually weakened. This is not intentional by the management, but the result of gradual evolution over thousands of years.
After all, ever since heads of state signed the ‘33 Convention’, childbirth has been considered illegal.
In addition, humans all over the world have become immortal due to the 'resurrection technique'.
So naturally, humans no longer need to live to pass on their family lineage.
When the meaning of life becomes life itself, sex is no longer regarded as a resource, and gender awareness begins to be diluted over time.
Today, men and women in the space station actively choose to be together just to meet their personal physiological needs.
"Okay, I have entered your fingerprint into the system."
Tiangong Space Station.
Entrance to the living area.
While operating the public terminal, Yang Si told Xie Shen: "On the space station, everyone uses a points system for daily consumption."
"And no matter what you do, almost all personal points will be consumed."
“Just like eating and drinking, taking a bath, and going to the toilet.”
“Going to the toilet also costs points?” Xie Shen was surprised after hearing this: “Is it so exaggerated?”
“What do you think?”
Yang Si said matter-of-factly: "The urine excreted from your body needs to be circulated through the sewage treatment system before it can finally be converted into pure water. This process consumes resources."
"Even your breathing , it also consumes resources."
"The space station needs to deal with the carbon dioxide you emit, and even the methane produced when you fart, and then it has to continuously supply oxygen to you."
"It's no better than here. Earth, this is outer space.”
“So even if you just live and do nothing without eating or drinking, the space station will still deduct your points little by little until they reach zero.”
"Then what happens if a person's points return to zero?" Xie Shen asked.
"You will be exiled." Yang Si replied.
"Exile? What do you mean?" Xie Shen asked.
Yang Sidao: "I will tie you to the electric chair and electrocute you to death."
"If nothing else happens, you will be resurrected in the Tower Prison in a short time. ”
"If you want to return to the space station at that time, you will have to try your luck."
"If you are lucky, you can come back after a few decades."
"If you are not lucky, , it may last for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.”
“Of course, you don’t have to worry too much about this.”
As he spoke, Yang Si added hurriedly. : "The space station allows everyone to overdraw up to 10,000 points as a buffer. As long as you can repay the principal with interest on time, nothing will happen."
"And the daily consumption of the space station is shockingly low."
"The points earned by ordinary people working for one day can last at least five days on the space station."
"And if you don't If you use the showers and various entertainment facilities, you will consume less points.”
“If you save a little, you can stay on the space station for more than ten days.”
"The treatment here is actually so good?" Xie Shen said in surprise: "But when I walked from the reception room to here, everyone I met along the way seemed to be working hard, and I didn't see anyone slacking off?" "That's because." Yang Si's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
She said to Xie Shen solemnly: "In addition to being used for daily consumption, points can also be used to resurrect the space station."
"Give me an example."
< br>“Suppose you have saved nearly one million points on your personal terminal because of your hard work.”
“Then when you die, the space station will consume one point per second. Let people read your name and date of birth day and night to resurrect you until you are resurrected by the space station, or until the points are used up.”
"To put it simply, it's just one sentence: the more points you save when you die, the greater the chance that you will be resurrected by the space station."
"That's why everyone here is trying their best. work even if no one forces them.”
"After all, I am staying in the 'Tower' prison."
Yang Simu showed a look of reminiscence, obviously remembering some bad things: "Not everyone can bear that torture."
>
“I understand, I understand.”
Xie Shen instinctively wanted to salute the other party with a fist.
But as soon as he remembered that this was no longer the realm of cultivation, he gave up his thoughts and smiled instead: "Thank you for letting me know."
"You're welcome."
< br>Yang Sichong and Xie Shen made it clear: "I just think you are good-looking and have a special temperament, so I am telling you so much. If you also like me, remember to contact me tonight. I have added you as a personal terminal friend." ."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ah this
The entrance to the living area of the space station.
Looking at the graceful figure Yang Si left behind when he left, Xie Shen subconsciously showed a strange expression.
Are all the girls on the space station so open-minded?
Or is it that my outlook on life has fallen behind the times?
As the reincarnation of a great power in the Nascent Soul stage, Xie Shen had a prominent position in the world of cultivation. He had already met countless women of all kinds, many of whom took the initiative to betray her.
So when faced with Yang Si’s ‘warm invitation’, Xie Shen didn’t have much fluctuation in his heart.
Now he just wants to get familiar with the new environment as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to embark on the path of practice again.
After all, only with strength can you have the right to speak.
This is the foundation of one’s life.
In the world of cultivation, when monks retreat, they will find a place with abundant spiritual energy, and then set up a spiritual gathering array to assist in their practice.
This is the most common and the most cost-effective practice method.
But the spiritual energy in the Tiangong Space Station is so thin that it can be ignored, so the method of setting up formations to assist in practice is definitely not feasible.
Due to the limitations of the environment, even though Xie Shen, as a reincarnated power in the Nascent Soul stage, could only think of two ways to practice.
The first is to find medicinal herbs and plants from the various flowers, plants and trees planted in the space station, and then use these herbs and plants to refine elixirs and wait for opportunities to make breakthroughs.
However, refining the elixir requires preparing a suitable elixir furnace and elixir fire.
These artifacts are in the space station, I don’t know if they can be obtained.
In view of the above prerequisites, this road is still somewhat difficult to walk.
Then there is the second method of cultivation: Xie Shen plans to take the path of evil cultivation and use living people as furnaces to refine great medicines.
But you don’t need to think about it: there must be monitoring equipment installed everywhere in the Tiangong Space Station.
Once Xie Shen does anything out of the ordinary, he will be caught immediately.
So if you want to take the path of evil cultivation, you must first obtain the consent of the space station management.
So this road is not difficult, but it is dangerous.
