Chapter 23: For life

Although the apartment is old, in this era, the basic network interface is still there, just like the electric water pipe, it is an indispensable necessity.
Li Chujun returned to bed, closed her eyes, and seemed to be sleeping. She was actually connected to the Internet and began to search and collect information.
Originally an industrial and mining city, Laizhou was famous for producing a large amount of basic metals such as iron and aluminum in the past, with a population of more than one million. If it was the parent star of the old era, Laizhou's mineral reserves are probably ranked among the top in the world. However, in the 35th century, with the increase of productivity, human demand for various types of mineral resources also increased exponentially.
About one hundred years ago, the reserves of several major mines in Laizhou City dried up, and the entire city inevitably declined.
Plutonium is different from the parent star. In this era, people have too many choices, and they have a new meaning when they travel away from home. The hometown often refers to strange star fields hundreds of light years away.
However, Laizhou's population has not decreased too much, many people have left, and many people have migrated in. Young people leave, mostly old people.
Balai is a big city with complete infrastructure and convenient transportation. Although the weather here is bad, the air can breathe directly. The outflow of population has brought prices down to a fairly low level. For example, this small apartment in Chulongtu rents less than two hundred a month. It doesn't cost much to buy. This is also the reason why many elderly people have migrated because it is cheap.
Within the realm of the Tang Dynasty, the currency of the natural dynasty was hard currency. Although each vassal state has its own currency, the more developed and prosperous the region, the more dynasty currency is used.
As the No. 1 university in Xinzheng, Pompano Business School has always been wealthy, and it used dynasty coins to issue subsidies. Therefore, the information consulted by Chu Jungui also defaults to Dynasty Coin as the unit of valuation.
I do not know how long the information has been read, Chu Jungui heard the sound of the alarm clock. He looked at the time. It was now less than six o'clock, but Chu Longtu was probably up.
As an experimental subject, Chu Jungui does not need to sleep long. He immediately got up and took a look out of the room, only to find that Chu Longtu was still sitting in a reclining chair, the same posture as last night.
The alarm clock is still ringing, and the TV on the screen is still flashing silent pictures.
"Grandpa?" Chu Jun called lightly.
The old man seemed to have just woke up, and then turned his head and said, "It's you! I was thinking about something from that year and unknowingly fell into God. Now that you're up, go and buy some breakfast. Turn down and turn right, pass Two street corners are Lao Liu's shop. The taste of his shop has not changed for more than ten years. "
"Got it."
Wu Chujun returned home and found the breakfast shop that Grandpa said was very smooth. It's a very small shop, small enough to set up only two tables. At this time, the sky was still not bright, and the cold air in the wind penetrated the bone marrow, but the shop was opened and it was full of people. Several people were standing in line at the door.
I am all elderly.
Xi Chujun lined up, and it wasn't long for him. The breakfast in the restaurant is very simple, only a few of them are mostly steamed or fried food. Chu Jungui bought two breakfasts according to his own meals, and they shared one yuan each.
On the way back, Chu Jungui took out a hot bun and took a bite. It was unexpectedly delicious and full of ingredients.
When I came home, Chu Longtu had got up from the lounge chair and started to clean up the room. The apartment was actually very tidy, and there were not many sundries. Except for Chu Yunfei's room, which was not locked for a long time, the rest of the place was clean, just old.
After eating breakfast, Chu Longtu asked Chu Jungui's academic situation. Chu Jun suddenly felt guilty of guilt. He really had the ability to use it. The version number was very low and he couldn't get it at all. That is, the version of tactical deception has passed 1, but it is only 1.02.
Fortunately, Chu Longtu's question was not very detailed. Even if the general question was passed, Chu Jun passed the level.
"It's a good thing that you can join the business school. This is a military school, and our family has no special relationship. After you have completed your studies, most of them will be on the battlefield. You must learn something during the two years in the college There is no luck on the battlefield. There is still a chance of losing in the planetary battle. If you fight in outer space, you will lose your battle if you lose. "
Xi Chujun nodded.
"I still have some collectibles, which I got when I was young. There is something that is very suitable for you. You can take it for yourself."
Chu Chulong got up and went to the cupboard next to the restaurant and opened the door. There are some dishes in the cabinet, and a few wine bottles. The old man grabbed the cabinet board, pushed it in, and with a click, the cabinet board retracted a bit, and then the entire structure of the cabinet sank, revealing a mezzanine behind.
There are two pistols and three pistols embedded in the interlayer, with different models and corresponding ammunition.
The old man slaps his hands on the three pistols one by one, and finally takes the middle-sized one, hands it to Chu Jungui, and says, "I will defend you."
Xi Chujungui likes pistols very much. When he takes them, he feels heavy. It is not comfortable to hold and full of texture. He touched it habitually, but couldn't find any data interface, and it didn't look like a chip.
The old man took a look at Chu Jun and said, "This gun has no chip and no auxiliary system. It is a gun. This is a bullet. Hold it."
Xun Chujun returned to catch a box of bullets thrown by the old man, but felt that his hand sank. A small box of bombs was surprisingly heavy. He opened the magazine, took out a bullet and looked at it. There was no display on the bullet, no programmable data interface, and no miniature engine capable of adjusting the attitude and direction of the flight. Some were just the bottom fire.
I only have the bottom fire?
The color of Pu Chujun's pupils quietly changed a little, and the entire bullet was scanned. Sure enough, there was no micro-equipment on it, and some of them were the bottom fire.
This is an original bullet powered by gunpowder.
Xun Chujungui did not reject the original gunpowder weapon. For example, when he first got out of the rescue capsule, he was defended by a printed gunpistol. But that was during the survival phase of the unmanned planet. Now as long as there are normal supplies, even novice students at the business school use programmable intelligent rifles and micro-powered ammunition.
拿 Take the electric shock bomb as an example. Not only can the electric energy release of the electric shock be adjusted, but also the kinetic energy can be rapidly dispersed when it comes into contact with a soft target to reduce penetration and avoid lethal killings.
The old man gave him all antique pistols or ammunition. The bullets are heavy and may be very powerful, but no matter how powerful they are. Today, electromagnetic applications are very common, and gunpowder weapons are at an overall disadvantage. Few people have studied new gunpowder formulas.
Chu Longtu watched for a while, and then said, "No need to find, there is no intelligent system on the gun and bullets. Sometimes, the simplest is the most reliable. No electromagnetic weapon is as reliable as the old-style guns. . "
"understood."
Xi Chujun returned his bullets and guns to his backpack, and then remembered, and asked, "This gun doesn't seem to be a universal caliber?"
The old man nodded, "It can only use the bullets I gave you. You probably have little chance to use it. For the time being, I only have such a stock. To make a new bullet, you need a few old-fashioned equipment. No, maybe some old friends still have them. I have to ask them, and when you come back next time, you will get new bullets. "
Xi Chujun nodded and packed his backpack. He probably doesn't have much chance to use this gun, and more bullets are naturally unnecessary. He received his gun and bullets, but didn't want to make the old man sad.
The old man restored the dining cabinet, and Chu Jungui tried to order a batch of food, and by the way bought a new refrigerator to replace the old antique in the house, which he didn't know how many years had used. However, he searched for a long time, but found that in the big cities, there was no delivery, and he needed to pick up the goods himself.
No online shopping? I don't know if it is good or bad.
Zhu Chujungui can only accept the reality. He finally hired a truck and moved the refrigerator back from the yard. After another afternoon, he ran through several supermarkets and stores to fill up the refrigerator.
The old man watched him quietly with a smile on his face.
After dinner, Chu Jungui said, "Grandpa, I will report to the college tomorrow. Leave some money at home before leaving."
"I'm old, there is nothing to spend money on. You saw it today, and you can't buy anything in this city if you have money. When you are free, just go home and have a look."
No matter how persuaded Xun Chujun, the old man refused to collect the money, and in the end he had to.
The short career of visiting the family was over soon. At the early morning of the next day, Chu Jun left the apartment and rushed to the airport ~ EbookFREE.me ~. When he returned, he was still on a cheap flight, and once again experienced the young boy. Class crowded and stale. I don't know if other 鲲 class ships will be better.
The spacecraft took off, and the city in the porthole gradually disappeared.
Xi Chujungui never thought that there would be a city like Laizhou. The city is old and outdated, and most of its facilities have a history of more than a century. It is just because of its excellent reliability that it barely maintains its life span. There are not many young people in the whole city, and most of them are old people who will spend the last stage of their lives.
生活 Living in this city costs even less than the cheapest nursing home in a prosperous city. Perhaps it is precisely because with a small amount of cost that you can live a life with the last little freedom and dignity, you will attract more and more elderly people to come here.
Lu Yuan originally thought that there was a rich man in the city, but he found himself wrong when he left. The city is running out of even the minimum services. Where can the rich people withstand such an environment? Small shops like breakfast shops still exist. Instead of making a living, the owners are better off finding someone who can talk.
When I bought breakfast for two days and heard the old people in the shop chatting, Chu Jungui also knew that this was the only time in the day when those old people could chat with people.
The entire city is struggling on the verge of poverty.
多少 How many cities are there on Wing Sing throughout the month? How many kingdoms are there?
When Xun Zheng was overwhelmed, Chu Jungui ’s identity chip suddenly popped up a reminder message, and the account balance jumped from 9600 to 11615. Chu Jungui was taken aback, hurriedly checked the information of the transferor, and then saw Chu Longtu.
Looking at the string of numbers, Chu Jun's mood suddenly became complicated and beyond description.
He closed his eyes and sat silently until the spacecraft landed.
