Chapter 441: Today We Are All Martians
Stretching out his hand to take the number plate, Zhang Xiang looked at the bicycle storage station again with emotion, and then turned to leave.
Since he can remember, there is such a bicycle storage station here in the county, I can't imagine that a few years have passed, the buildings on both sides of the street have been raised, the roads have been picked, the trees have died, and the lights have been changed.
Of course, there are still changes, not only the people watching the stall have changed, from the thin old man in his impression to the current wide, fat curly-haired aunt, the parasol above her head and the table in front of her have also changed to a more portable model.
Of course, the biggest change is the roadside bicycle, whether it is a small and light curved beam or a large weight of the straight beam, it has become rare, and the most here is a variety of electric bicycles, some still retain the pedals more like bicycles, and there are also high-horsepower models similar to pedal light riding motorcycles.
Nodding noncommittally, Zhang Xiang thought in his heart: "Electric cars are really everywhere now, but it's rare to see motorcycles?"
There was a vibration in his chest, and he took out his local tyrant Jin Guo five mobile phone to see that Shen Pengtao was urging him to go online again.
Speaking of which, they have all graduated for more than half a year, and this guy still doesn't change his original intention about games, and he doesn't go to graduate school or look for a job, claiming to be a professional gamer, but he ran to be a game anchor.
Zhang Xiang once ridiculed his miserable number of fans, Shen Pengtao calmly said that he was saving money and planned to go for plastic surgery, and asked him, "Is it better to go to the north to get a big nose?" or to go to the south to get a pair of human breasts?"
Of course, this is all a joke, just based on the god-level "passing rate" that Lao Shen created a record in school history when he graduated, it shows that he is not this kind of person at all, how can he be willing to use a knife on himself?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiang raised his mobile phone and sent a voice message over: "What's the hurry? Now those elementary school students haven't gone offline yet, are you sure you can win the game?"
After saying that, he grabbed his phone and walked forward, and the destination was in front of him.
Speaking of which, the main reason why this storage station has been able to survive ten years without falling down is the building in front of him.
Although this six-story building is outdated in terms of both the number of floors and the interior and exterior design, it is located at the intersection of the two main streets with the largest flow of people in the city, and it has not lacked the popularity necessary for business.
Looking up, a cylindrical glass tube was hung outside the original building leading straight to the third floor, recognizing that it was a sightseeing elevator, Brother Xiang walked quickly towards the elevator entrance.
It is said that since the state lifted the ban on Internet café licenses, the speed of Internet café closure has accelerated a lot. In the past, although the Internet café was facing a recession, the photos in the hands were still limited edition, and they could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and the latecomers could go to other better places to reopen after buying them, but now that the state has re-begun to accept the approval of single Internet cafes, those old licenses have suddenly become worthless, and the bosses have become more determined to close their business and stop losses.
However, not all Internet cafes have gone out of business, after all, they still have Demacia and Alien Battlefield, two of the most popular BA games, which can attract popularity.
At least the chain of Internet cafes on the Bee Space Station showed no signs of declining popularity, and there were already three people waiting for the elevator in front of Zhang Xiang.
"Bee air purifier, remove haze, inhibit bacteria and change fresh air, your home air is ......"
Stepping into the elevator, Zhang Xiang subconsciously looked at the side wall of the elevator box, and then the video advertisement that was still playing in a loop just now suddenly stopped and was replaced by another picture: "Hello, Mr. Sergeant, welcome to space station 1657, now playing today's news for you." ”
The walls of the circular viewing elevator are transparent on three sides, and you can see the shrinking ground under your feet, but there is an LCD screen installed on the wall on the right side of Zhang Xiang, and the sound just now comes from the speaker mesh on both sides of the screen. And he also knew that the elevator was equipped with several cameras and microphones that were facing the height of people's faces, and even if someone noticed the conspicuous camera on the top of the elevator case, they would be captured by these cameras if they deliberately turned their faces sideways and did not look at them.
It can be said that from the moment you approach the space station Internet café, your every move is under video surveillance, and it is also video surveillance with face recognition, so he was recognized by the system as soon as he walked into the elevator.
The so-called "sergeant" is Brother Xiang's membership level in the space station Internet café, and since they acquired the Internet café on the edge of Z University last year, he has also been taken by Shen Pengtao's guy several times, "The guy who went more diligently seems to be a lieutenant colonel now, right?"
With a twinkle in his brows, Zhang Xiang said he had no comment on the space station Internet café, which is a welcome way for some middle school students, but I hope it won't scare the three children!
What appeared on the screen at the moment were two indistinguishable hosts, both with short ear-length hair sitting behind the hosting stage, slender bodies were wearing a round-necked narrow-sleeved dress, off-white close-fitting clothes were delicate and shiny, some of them looked like spaceman clothes in science fiction games, but the details were much less decorative than those in the game, only the color of the cuffs and necklines was different, the left was light blue and the right was pink.
Zhang Xiang said that if it weren't for the sweet voice from the speaker on the right side of the screen, and the pink collar also opened her mouth at the same time, he would not have thought that she was a woman, and the outline of her breasts was exactly the same.
The three younger customers must have seen this scene for the first time, and they all turned to look at the screen at this moment.
According to this website, on February 14, 2114, at 9 o'clock in the morning of Earth Standard Time, the high-speed quantum communication line from Earth to Mars was officially put into use, and the communication delay problem that plagued the people of the two places has been completely solved. It is reported that after the opening of the line, the people of the two places have exchanged greetings, and today we are all Martians!"
"Poof!" Hearing the female announcer with the pink collar on the screen read out "Today we are all Martians!", Zhang Xiang noticed that the expressions of the three people couldn't help but tremble, and a guy who looked like a high school boy couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Young man, you're exposed! Hand over your 30t seeds, I won't report you as a fast broadcast user!" Of course, he can only make up for this in his mind, and the enemy is outnumbered, so don't say it and pull hatred.
According to the Earth News Agency, due to the impact of drought and the weak construction of water conservancy facilities, a large-scale famine has once again broken out in Central Africa. UN Secretary-General Ilim Riyadh called for ......"
Zhang Xiang didn't hear the content later, because the elevator reached the third floor.
These "news in 100 years" are naturally fake, and the space station Internet café specially took out valuable elevator advertising space to broadcast these things, just to create a futuristic atmosphere, so that customers have a feeling of "expensive and reasonable". Otherwise, why would people patronize your high-priced Internet café of 15 per hour, you must know that the Feiyue Internet café in an alley two hundred meters away is only two yuan an hour, and you can smoke without worries......
Obviously, the three children who seemed to have just grown up were stunned, and seeing that they should be coming to the space station Internet café for the first time, Brother Xiang was not surprised by this result at all.
But for Zhang Xiang himself, there is not much novelty of this kind of fake news, after all, everyone has long been accustomed to listening to it every day, and it feels unattractive, even if there are a few of his own contributions in these news clips.
In other words, in order to avoid "news" from becoming "old news", there has been a "Elevator News Contribution Area" on the homepage of the space station Internet café for a long time, and the fake news with a "sense of the future" is collected from the majority of netizens for a fee.
Because he left, the "Today's News" in the elevator naturally came to an abrupt end and became an advertisement again, with a minimum of 10 yuan for a new machine, indicating that this time it was replaced by a circular rental advertisement of Bee Green Lai.
"10 yuan?" Zhang Xiang couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and couldn't help but think: "It's really worthless these days! Even bees with thick eyebrows and big eyes have begun to fool people!"
Greenfucher, or Bee Green Lai, does have a minimum of 10 yuan a month of machines, but these 256 trillion memory antique machines can only play "unicycle" level lightweight applications, and there may not be spare machines. And like him, a local tyrant gold color apple 5, the rental price is 100 yuan, after all, the price is too cheap, and I am sorry for this shiny local tyrant gold.
Although this color is actually re-painted by the people of Lulai, I have to say that the craftsmanship is quite good, and the difference can only be seen when it is put together with the real 5S local tyrant gold, and you have to know who is who in advance.
Because he was already a member, Zhang Xiang didn't go to the hall on the third floor to line up to open a membership card like the three students behind him, and directly took his mobile phone and knocked three times on the card reader of the "Veterans Welfare Society" to activate the membership account, and after looking at the account balance, Zhang Xiang walked directly inside.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a business point of Lulai here, which can easily complete the handing in and replacement of rental mobile phones, but the available models are much less, after all, it is not a specialized rental shop.
Similarly, there is also a mobile phone gas station counter here, but there is only one film wave that sells data cables and TF cards, which looks quite shabby.
Bee Green Lai, mobile phone gas station and space station Internet café as the three major chain brands of bees, naturally the same breath, the three share a part of the channel resources with each other, in the Internet café can upgrade and maintain the mobile phone and replace the leased mobile phone, the same in the first two stores can also use the balance of the space station Internet café to pay for Internet access.
These three stores all provide free wifi, but the network speed is limited, and you can only go online to see ordinary graphic messages, and you can't hold more pictures to kill cats or high-definition videos, so you naturally have to spend money to use high-speed wifi services.
Zhang Xiang also used his 1709 mobile phone card to access the Internet there, and the speed was okay, and it was cheaper than burning traffic directly.
I have to say that as the only one in the first batch of virtual operators to make money, Bee Communication relied on the big chess laid out on free WiFi back then.
Because the wholesale price of Unicom Telecom sold to virtual merchants is only a little cheaper than the retail price they sell to their own users, but it is higher than the price of various packages after conversion, resulting in the legendary "batch zero upside down" problem, so all virtual merchants are losing money in the call business, and the more users are developed, the more they lose, and the reason why the newborn bee communication can make money is to rely on the "bee wifi" received.
As an old free WiFi software, although the number of hotspots of Bee is dozens of times worse than that of several other competitors, the quality of the hotspots is much higher, and the latter of those free hotspots that claim to be hundreds of millions of dollars are actually included in the private wifi that users intentionally or unintentionally share, and security and connectivity cannot be guaranteed. In this regard, the free wifi of bee communication is much better, their equipment is unified, and it is not easy to be stolen by phishing, and they are also more wealthy, and they can smash 100 million angrily and claim that the theft must be compensated.
And the most important thing is that although the number of these hotspots of bees is small, they are mainly distributed in crowded places such as street shops, stations, schools, shopping malls, supermarkets, etc., which are naturally much more convenient than most of the other "hidden in the community" free wifi, even if the network speed and latency of the free access point are a little bad, but at least it can ensure that you can brush your neck while shopping and eating.
In fact, if everyone used the free hotspot, Bee Communication would still cry. Although a benefit-sharing partnership has been established with these merchants through Bee Routing, if everyone does not have to pay for hotspots, cooperation is naturally impossible.
Thankfully, that didn't happen. With this extra income, combined with the frantic bot customer service ratio of Bee Communications, it's no surprise that he was able to make money on his own.
But there is another problem with their cooperation, which is equivalent to digging the corner of the fixed network business of China Mobile Unicom in partnership, if one day people react and see such a small insect that secretly takes advantage, they will slap down the bee communication or have a cup.
However, it is impossible to say whether they will be as angry and ban the account as they are dealing with ordinary users.
"Although Bee Communication is weak, after all, the Bee Group is also a strong party, so it shouldn't fight for a small amount of money of one or two million, right?"
His first mobile phone card after graduation is a bee card, if the bee wifi is cut, will he change the card or change the card at that time?
As a honey, although I don't want to, I still have to change it. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
