Chapter 2 Leisure Tea Time
Not all new humans are overly hostile to the old ones, and even in the Bolivian territorial waters, a human federation with a terrible black history, the new humans still give enough help to the old humans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Basic living assistance and building facilities are still provided by the new humans, after all, in this era of creating a new industrial system based on Aojin, low-end industrial manufacturing is not a difficult problem to solve.
The living conditions of the old humans can probably also be reflected in their clothing and appearance. Perhaps because of the proximity to the mainland, the conditions of the old humans he saw were much better than those that Arrites had seen on the Star Continent before.
Although it can still be seen from their pale faces that they are plagued by the pathological reaction caused by radiation, the neater clothes and the different mental outlook can also show that they are not actually living too hard, but have to endure some kind of pain all the time.
The radiation response that cannot adapt to the new era is not as deadly as imagined. The pathological reaction of the vast majority of old humans is only pain and high fever, and sometimes other symptoms can be seen. Only a very small number of old humans will have an acute and high-risk severe reaction, of course, the vast majority of such patients will not survive, and will have long been reduced to ashes and buried in the sea.
Even though the old humans are much less resistant to radiation than the new ones, they are still much better than the defenseless people of the old era. In the early days of cataclysm and radiation, humanity in the old era was devastated, and almost 80 percent of the people died from sudden environmental changes.
The teenagers and girls sitting by the window of the café turned their gaze to the long line not far away, waiting for the response of the electronic light screen. Although the two of them were still far away, the bonuses brought by the ship's ability also greatly improved their eyesight.
The two seemed very interested in a certain woman huddled in the crowd.
She didn't look very old, she seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was holding a well-behaved girl.
The appearance of the two is extremely similar, as if they were carved out of a template, and the difference is only the traces left by time. Both had natural blonde curls and green eyes, but the lady standing in front looked more confident and authentic, and the girl seemed to lean on her side with some fear.
The reason why Aritus and Veneto noticed the pair that seemed to be sisters was because of the extraordinary sense of oppression in their faces and the unreal beauty of their faces.
This is not a characteristic that ordinary humans will appear, but a face that only ships with extraordinary abilities and not ordinary lives have.
At first, Alitus only had a slight guess, and he tried to release his weak mental power from afar, but unfortunately he could only sense a very faint radiation reaction from too far away.
The shipwives will produce a not weak radiation response when they use the ship's equipment, and in this port city dominated by new humans, it is not allowed to release the ship's equipment without obtaining a specific license certificate. Of course, even so, there will still be a slight amount of radiation emitted, but it won't have much of an impact.
"It seems to be a ship's mother, but unfortunately I can't confirm what category it is without releasing the ship's equipment." , The boy seemed to notice the girl's inquiring gaze, and said softly.
Enabling the spirit link is also a very mentally draining thing, and he didn't want to be too sleepy at night, so he didn't continue to maintain the spirit link, after all, he could connect at any time as long as he needed to.
When the girl heard this, she looked carefully at the woman holding a child again. A slight comparison of the two of them could also reveal the strangeness in the face of the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
That's not a face that ordinary humans can have, and it seems to be? But Veneto quickly overturned his assumptions. Turning his gaze to his Admiral, he noticed a slight change in his countenance, as if remembering something.
People with the bloodline of the ship's mother will also have this different sense, and the two people are so similar just now, Veneto couldn't help but guess:
"That girl must be the ship's child...... It's a pity ......"
There were faint red spots on the girl's face and exposed skin, which were caused by a slight allergic reaction caused by radiation.
Alitus could probably understand the meaning of the girl's words, the reason why this woman, who was probably the ship's mother, lined up here was probably for the little girl next to her. It was clear that it was her child, of course, but she had not been genetically mutated to become a new human.
The girl's sigh was not mixed with any disdain, but the child might have a very painful life, and she had to endure the problems caused by the radiation reaction despite having a good background, which made her a little unbearable.
The boy didn't say much, the union between the human race and the ship's mother could only be reached by the admiral and the ship's mother who had signed a spiritual contract, just like his parents. Or she has retired as a ship mother and re-become an ordinary woman, so that she can combine with ordinary humans.
Of course, there are far fewer ship girls who can serve to the end of their lives than those who are combined with the admiral, and the vast majority of them spend the rest of their lives alone.
In other words, the ship's lady here must have given birth to her child after marrying with a certain admiral. But if this is the case, how can you not get a license certificate?
His father made a point of mentioning it when he talked about what happened before he was born. If he hadn't been convicted of being a new human since he was born, his father would have done everything he could to give him the status of a special human citizen, and of course this preparation would have been thrown away without question after Aritus' birth.
In the same way, the girl with the same identity should be able to obtain that identity if nothing else, why should she wait for a unified test here quietly with those old humans?
As his thoughts turned, the boy couldn't guess the reason behind this for a while, and he and the girl were also not related, so he didn't want to waste time on useless speculation. Although the two men came from the same background, and Aritaus had some pity for them, he could not do anything about them, and he would not do anything about them.
Thinking of this, Aritaus no longer carefully observed what was happening outside the window, but used his electronic ID card to order some food on the light screen again.
The two didn't notice that the woman they were staring at seemed to be turning her gaze to them as well, as if she was still thoughtful.
He had already noticed that Veneto, who was sitting opposite, had already flipped through the menus on the light screen, and even deliberately stayed on a few mockups for a long time.
With a slight sigh in his heart, he felt that even if the girl in front of him ordered something he liked first, it would be better to let him pay than this. After all, the two have already lived and died together, and there is no need to distinguish many boundaries in many things.
After all, he can't say anything just because his original ship lady likes desserts, and he doesn't object to her doing so. It doesn't hurt to do something a little relaxed after a long fight, and he's not a harsh and stingy person.
After waiting a little longer, he found that the white-haired and red-eyed girl in front of him didn't seem to have spoken out to put forward the idea of his needs, and the boy was a little helpless. It's natural to point your finger on the light screen.,Point out the pictures that the girl was staring at just now.。
2 servings of Alfcarto, 3 servings of iced fruit, tiramisu, and cheese rolls (Note 1...... Without hesitation, he ordered a considerable amount of desserts, and the boy finally stopped, facing the girl's slightly surprised gaze, and said a little helplessly:
"It should be enough for two people to order so much."
The girl lowered her head slightly, as if she realized that her behavior just now had been discovered by her own admiral, and she was slightly embarrassed not to meet her gaze.
She suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have said that she liked desserts?
Alitus stared at the number on his account, his face unchanged. Thanks to the changes brought about by the sudden changes in the world, human industrial and agricultural capacity has made long-term progress under the recovery and development of a hundred years. The growth cycle of many plants in high radiation environments is significantly shortened. In some areas with better water temperatures, crops can even be harvested several times on marine ranches.
He suddenly turned his gaze to the light screen in front of him, focusing his attention on the preview images of the desserts.
Agriculture in the new era is no longer limited to traditional agricultural crops, but also grows specific seaweeds within the demarcated ocean area, and refines and separates them to obtain a variety of nutrients. And in this port, a little further from the mainland, the vast majority of food sources rely on marine farms.
It can be said that in the era of fallout, marine agriculture fed almost a third or more of humanity. And such an achievement was achieved under the dual interference of the deep sea and mutated life. The reason why human beings are so desperate to maintain their own sea dominance is also because in the new era, the resources developed by the sea are becoming more and more abundant, and the combination of profit-driven and external pressure has made human beings never give up the idea of seizing sufficient sea dominance from the deep sea.
Aritaus's mind wandered between many thoughts, and even when he noticed that the table in front of him was occupied by desserts, he only took a serving of ice fruit and a serving of Avgado, and thought about the future in the occasional coolness of summer.
His first priority at the moment is to return to the continent where the New World Federation is located, and his father's preparations during his lifetime will allow him to enter his best Central Federation Naval Academy. Of course, he had already confirmed the route through the public network, and it was here that he planned to board the sea ship to Cristobal.
A few days ago, he was desperately running at sea and was chased by the deep sea, which made him give up the idea of running directly with his and Veneto's shipboard capabilities. Endless running, having to travel at full speed every moment under pressure, looking at the seemingly unchanged ocean and the deep sea behind you that does not give up at all, anyone will feel tired and tired.
Sailing is not a very fun thing to do, let alone when you are being hunted by some kind of insane madman, and this sense of urgency between life and death is only pleasant for fellow madmen.
Alitus wasn't that kind of madman, so he naturally only felt that it was an ordeal. Although his mental strength had improved significantly after that experience, he didn't feel that risking his life and dancing on the tip of a knife was a safe way to exercise his mental strength.
Secondly, there is another reason why he does not use his own ship equipment for the time being. That is, he felt that he should focus on the profession of Admiral itself, although he was able to escape from the depths of the sea, and the ability to ship from his mother was irreplaceable. However, if he wanted to solve the flagship-level deep sea that destroyed his home, his strength alone would not be enough.
Even like his father, there are already four teams of senior admirals of the ship's ladies, and it is impossible to escape the death of his life in a sudden battle with the deep-sea flagship.
Without enough strength, he couldn't even go to that relatively remote sea area to fight the deep sea, let alone find that deep sea flagship. And in such a troubled situation, choosing to concentrate on the identity of the admiral can increase the power he has as much as possible.
The boy turned his gaze slightly, noticing the oppressively beautiful girl sitting in front of him.
After several fierce battles with the deep sea, Aritus understood the sentence very thoroughly. If you want to fight the deep sea, the best and easiest way is to rely on the power of the ship. This is the basis for the continuation of human beings for a hundred years, of course, the development of the times to the present, in fact, there is a sentence behind this sentence: human industrial capacity is the greatest logistical support.
The ship girls also need resources to exert their abilities, and without the industrial capabilities established by human beings in the new era, their strength cannot be fully exerted. Humans and ship girls have survived many difficulties in this state of mutual help.
Time passed imperceptibly, and before the midday sun had fully demonstrated its power, the visa work for the port here was completed. Hundreds of mechanical movements, it didn't take too much time, and the teenager with the memories of his previous life had to praise a few points.
The social system established by the new human beings is much more perfect than that built by the previous human beings, perhaps due to the strong pressure of the deep sea outside, the inferior nature of human internal strife has been suppressed a lot, and most of the power has been concentrated in the construction of industry and infrastructure, and the improvement of social functions.
While thinking so, the young man also noticed that the girl who was sitting opposite seemed to be a little embarrassed. Looking at the meal on the table, the boy only thought of one sentence: "The stomach of the ship girls is an unscientific product"
Because they had already settled the bill in advance, the two of them had no idea of continuing to spend time here, and when they were about to get up and go out, they heard the soft words of a woman not far away.
"How much is your high-purity water here?"
"It's ...... she needs high-purity water," the boy noticed the appearance of the woman who had happened, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
That's the shipwit who was in the old human team not long ago. The reason why he was so sure was that she was showing off her special work certificate and asked the people at the counter.
Relying on the extraordinary eyesight of the two of them, they both saw clearly that this was the proof of the work of the shipwreck of the Cologne Town Guard Mansion here. But the most surprising thing for the two was the girl who was held in her arms. At this point, she seemed to be asleep.
"This lady, what we are offering here is not the high-purity water used in the Admiralty's Palace, but a slightly inferior clean. The price is also S$20 per 100ml, and you can't buy more than 500ml at a time."
"It's so expensive!" The teenagers and girls glanced at each other, and they all found the surprise on each other's faces.
The two of them had eaten so much food just now, and they only used S$16. And this is a somewhat high amount, which makes the two people who don't know how much high-purity water they used in the deep-sea chase a little regretful.
"Can't it be cheaper? I plan to buy this clean water for a long time", the lady seemed to have expected such a price, and her face remained unchanged.
"I'm sorry, we can't provide a high stock of clean water here for a long time, it's too expensive and not worth much, and even our store doesn't have too many reservations." , The clerk in front of the counter has noticed that the person who came is not ordinary, but he still said it without humility or arrogance.
"What ......," the lady seemed a little disappointed, and it was not the first time she had heard such an answer.
And Arrites and Veneto, who were standing not far away, gathered the expressions on their faces, gently passed through the door, and left the café.
And the lady looked at the backs of the two people walking out of the café, as if she was thinking.
Just now, she had already noticed the weak mental reaction of the two of them, and after a little hesitation, she chased after them.
Note 1: All of the above are Italian desserts
