Chapter 3: The Heat and Cooling of the World (Part I)

Cadel is hard at work, and at the factory in Myanmar she is responsible for spot checks and quality checks on coffee beans. Kadell was originally a resident of Tuvalu, and when she lived in Tuvalu, Tuvalu was leading the way when the sea was rising and the land was about to be submerged.

At that time, all the citizens of Tuvalu felt a sense of sadness from the heart. Because their lives are so desperate. People who have the ability to smuggle themselves abroad in various ways, and no one wants to stay and live with this country. After all, no one wants to die.

But in the most desperate time, hope also came. A big boss in South America appeared, and the young man named Roberto (Sunspot) actually wanted to recruit more than 10,000 of his country's nationals to work abroad! Everyone sang and danced excitedly all night.

As a 17-year-old girl, Cardel was alone and helpless to support her chronically ill mother. At that time, I was very happy because I could finally take my mother out of that desperate country. Even when Cadel later learned that Tuvalu had actually been bought by mutants and established her own country, she had nothing to envy or nostalgia for.

Because even how prosperous Tuvalu is now has nothing to do with itself, those are all the credit of mutants. If they hadn't fled the country in the first place, they would have died along with the rising sea level. And now she can work as a quality inspector in a coffee bean factory, and she is actually quite satisfied.

Although technology has become more and more advanced in recent years, some things still have to be done by hand. For example, the selection of coffee beans, no matter how many machines check it. But in the end, it is still up to people to evaluate, because food is always a very subjective thing, and taste cannot be filtered by machines.

Now Cardel earns 2,000 federal dollars a month. The federal coin is a new coin that has only been introduced in the last two years, just like the euro in the past. Theoretically, Federated Coins can be used anywhere in the Earth Federation, but not all regions (countries) can use them.

This is because the prerequisite for using Federated Coins is to first sign the [Earth Federation Currency Consent Treaty]. Many regions (countries) have some special hearts, and not all regions (countries) have signed this treaty.

At present, there are more than 100 countries that have joined the Earth Federation Coin Treaty, and they occupy the world's major economic powers. Countries including China and the United States have signed such treaties, and South Korea has not signed them for unknown reasons.

And the dual currency system is still in place on the planet. The so-called dual currency system is the circulation of federal currency in a country, as well as the circulation of previous currencies. It's like there are still the US dollar and the Chinese yuan, but within the country, the federal currency is also legal tender.

If you want to compare the value, the exchange ratio between the Earth Federation Coin and the U.S. dollar is about 1:15. The income of two thousand federal coins is still very objective for Cardell. She can afford her own living expenses and her mother's living expenses.

At the end of the day, Cardel came out of his factory in Myanmar. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and it should have been very dark at this time of winter, because the sun was already sinking into the sea. But today she looked far away, and could see two rounds of the sun hanging in the western sky. One is the sunset, and the other is the sunrise.

She knew it was an artificial sun rising into the sky. Although she doesn't know much about how this artificial sun works, every time she sees such a spectacle, she always sighs at the greatness of those scientists. Although she didn't quite understand why scientists were using this artificial sun to think of creating storms and tsunamis or something.

It is said that in order to keep the earth's ocean currents normal, scientists have designated a part of the coastal area as a special typhoon transit area. They are moving out of these areas, which are often less inhabited and economically underdeveloped.

They use these places as landing sites for tsunami typhoons, and they use this method to ensure the normal flow of the earth's ocean currents and hot and cold air. Storms that can cause great damage will be affected by the artificial sun in various ways, and finally the storm will be dispersed.

Cardel shook her head, it wasn't her concern. It took her fifteen minutes to get to the Intercity Hyperloop station on a hoverbus. Although she works in a factory in Myanmar, she lives in Xinruili City, Yunnan Province, China. Due to the climate in Myanmar, many areas have been converted into plantation plants.

Tony Stark's mega plan was a heavy financial burden for Myanmar, but the government mortgaged the plantation's proceeds and started building the mega in the country. However, Cardel doesn't like to live with the locals because they're a bit too noisy and unruly.

In comparison, Xinruili City is much better. New Ruili City is actually a cluster of three super buildings. It took only five minutes for the Hyperloop to get Kadell back from Myanmar, not as long as she did the bus and waited.

Back in New Ruili City, Cardel stepped out of the station and waited only thirty seconds before a hovercar stopped in front of her. This is a taxi that she has booked before, and the driverless taxi relies on traffic flow big data to drive steadily in the super building. Kadell, who works in Myanmar, returned to her home in New Ruili at half past six sharp.

She rented a two-bedroom house on the thirty-fifth floor of the building, and the monthly rent was 500 federal dollars, which was probably her biggest monthly expense. Using the iris code to unlock the lock, the appliances in the home were already running three minutes before Cardel walked into the room.

The air conditioner has begun to adjust the temperature and humidity adaptively, and it is not cold in the winter, but it is undoubtedly more relaxing to make the home comfortable 26 degrees. In Ruili, I can no longer see the strong light of the artificial sun on the Burmese side, but I can also see a star in the western sky, which is very shiny, much brighter than the moon.

Cardel shook her head, and she took out the fresh food she had ordered for the day from her family's fresh food delivery box. You can also go to a supermarket in the city (or in the building) to buy it, but you can use your mobile phone to buy the goods you need for your home directly through the app in the super building.

From fresh food to daily necessities to home appliances, and it's all incredibly cheap. Today, Cardel bought a pound of flour and a pound of prawns, plus some mussels and vegetables, all of which together cost only five federal coins.

Now that the price of food in the world has been repeatedly lowered, coupled with the Earth Federation's subsidies for agricultural products, food is now so cheap that it is almost free of charge, and all the costs of buying it are actually the packaging logistics and labor costs that come with food.

Halfway through Cadell's dinner, her mother returned from outside. Her mother had a chronic illness that was difficult to treat while in Tuvalu because there was a shortage of medical care in Tuvalu. However, medical care has improved dramatically in recent years, especially after the Osborne Group and mutants have launched a collaborative project. Many mutant genes have been found to be able to fight diseases in some humans.

For example, the legendary superhero Deadpool provides a mutant gene that can fight cancer. Although it is still in a clinical trial stage, it has already achieved results. It is said that the next step will be to expand the number of test subjects, and the genes provided by Deadpool will be used to effectively curb the spread of cancer cells. It's not a complete cure for cancer, but it's good. It can greatly improve the length and quality of life of cancer patients.

And his mother's chronic illness was also cured by mutant medicine. Although I have to pay more than 300 federal dollars a month for medical expenses, this is still very good. After her mother recovered, she found a job, she was very good at massage, and there was a shortage of masseurs like her in regular massage shops in the city. Now my mother earns 1,500 federal dollars a month. The mother and daughter are doing very well.

But when my mother came back today, she brought an outsider back, eh? It seems to be a new neighbor who lives next door?

Oh my God! Is it necessary to find someone to blind date for him?
