Volume I. The Wandering Race Chapter 0014
In the fleet, the bow of the ship is generally east, and the stern is west, Chen Yueban's home is located in the northeast corner of Zanghui Town, it is a two-story small bungalow, and there is a small courtyard surrounded by a stone wall in front of the door, and some flowers and plants are planted in the yard.
After parking the transporter in the courtyard, the two entered the house in turn, and at the same time, the recessed sensor light on the ceiling also lit up, which was much dimer than the lighting on the academy ship.
Looking around the environment in the room, Chen Yueyuan felt like he had come from the city to the countryside, unlike the high-tech academy ships everywhere, Chen Yueban's home was very ...... Naive. An old-fashioned sofa, a light screen projector, a square table and four chairs almost fill the living room, and there are many scratches and stains on the walls around it, which must have been made of materials that have been eliminated from high-class ships.
Chen Yueyuan now understands this situation, after coming to this strange universe through a wormhole in the year 999 of the exile calendar, the Supreme Council issued an energy-saving ordinance, and until the next star can be found for the fleet to replenish, the allocation of resources will decrease according to the importance of the ship.
The production ship is a type of ship that grows agricultural products, and needs to provide food supplies for the entire fleet, which was originally very important, but when the scientific research ship developed the nutritional paste, the status of the production ship plummeted.
At the beginning, when there was no nutritional paste, the alliance built too many of these production ships in order to maintain the base of the human race, after all, for the human race, only quantity is the foundation of strength.
But now the advent of nutritional paste has made production ships a burden to the fleet.
The cost of nutrient paste is low, the energy is high, only a small amount of crops produced by the production ship is needed, and the number of people who used to be fed by a thousand production ships is now only fifty, almost every year, there are production ships at the bottom of the output value are decomposed and recycled, and the annual output value of the D24 production ship is not bad, and there is no risk of being abandoned, but the annual resource allocation is still decreasing, which is why the whole town looks a little dilapidated.
"Brother, what do you want for dinner?" Chen Xiaoyue stood in the living room, took off her work clothes, and put on a washed white apron, as if she was going to make dinner.
"I'll do it." Chen Yueyuan didn't care, he casually turned around the living room twice, and saw a wooden photo frame on the light screen projector in front of the sofa, on which was a photo of Chen Yueban's family of four, Chen Xiaoyue stood in front of Chen Yueban, his parents stood left and right behind Chen Yueban, all four of them had a faint smile on their faces, the background was the farmland that had cut half of the wheat, and half of the body of the transport plane.
Picking up the photo frame, Chen Yueyuan stroked the photo on it, thinking back to his family on the earth, and he didn't know what their situation was now, if he was a little more careful, maybe he and his sister would be waiting for the concert in S City now.
Although Chen Yueyuan and Chen Yueban are very similar, the appearance of their parents is very different. Judging from the photos, Chen Yueban's mother is undoubtedly a beauty, and her father is a little sloppy, a decadent middle-aged uncle, with a mediocre appearance, but it is also above the average of the earth, maybe the genes of future human beings are good.
Taking advantage of Chen Xiaoyue's cooking, Chen Yueyuan walked around the two floors, there were three rooms upstairs, two of which were cleaned and the furniture was also complete, it should be his and Chen Xiaoyue's bedroom, and the other one was empty. On the first floor, in addition to the living room and kitchen, there is a larger bedroom than the upstairs, which should be the parents' room, but the furniture inside is covered with a layer of film, and the floor has been covered with dust, and it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time.
After walking around, Chen Yueyuan also came to the kitchen, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Chen Xiaoyue standing on a chair flipping the switch of a certain kitchenware.
Chen Yueyuan has seen this thing on his personal terminal, it seems to be called a tumbling food uniform heater, which can automatically cook the ingredients put in it, in fact, it is just stirring after cooking, Chen Yueyuan prefers to call it a stir-fry machine......
Naturally, this low-level cooking tool does not make any delicious food, and it can barely be eaten on earth, and the appetite of the tongue is not paid much attention to in this era.
Originally, Chen Yueban's family would not buy this, but he had to go to school, and his parents went to work on the remote reconnaissance ship, and Chen Xiaoyue was the only one in the family, so it was impossible to trouble the neighbors to take care of her all the time, so he picked one back from the thrift market and let Xiaoyue learn to cook by herself.
Fortunately, Xiaoyue has been very sensible since she was picked up, and has been helping the family to work, and in the past few years, she has been taking care of the wheat field contracted by the family alone, and with the help of well-wishers in the town, she quickly learned the control of planting machinery and equipment, and now one person can handle the wheat field well.
Looking at the little girl who was a little busy but handled it handily, Chen Yueyuan's heart warmed, and she remembered Chen Xinyue who cooked for herself for the first time, and their personalities were quite similar.
"Well, brother, why did you come in? Are you hungry? Chen Xiaoyue also noticed that Chen Yue behind her was round at this time, her cheeks were slightly red, and she immediately said, "It's almost ready, you can wait in the living room for a while." ”
Chen Yueyuan found that Chen Xiaoyue was obviously much bolder than outside when she was at home, and she didn't stutter anymore, it seems that she is the kind of character who is afraid of going out, and she will feel afraid when facing strangers, similar to social phobia.
"I'll serve the food." Chen Yueyuan took the initiative to step forward, and the potatoes that had been plated on the cooking table were brought out.
Potatoes, as the main crop of Wangwolf Town on the D24 production ship, have a surplus after each season's shipments, and then they will exchange their respective agricultural products with the other two towns, after all, it is very greasy to eat nutritional paste all the time, and it is also within the scope of the rules to beat the teeth with the food grown, which is also one of the few benefits of working on the production ship.
Three dishes were served, namely braised potatoes, steamed corn on the cob, and instant small ribs.
Except for the corn on the cob and potatoes, which were exchanged for their own wheat and two other towns, the small ribs were bought from the port.
In addition to exporting crops, the port usually has merchants who occasionally come to set up a stall, which are the specialties of other production ships, and instant pork ribs are one of their commodities, I heard that it is the product of the N17 production ship, which is a production ship specializing in breeding cattle, sheep and pigs.
There were only five small ribs on the plate, each one the size of a thumb, and there was still heat wafting on them because they had just been heated.
Just such a little ribs, it will cost more than 100 galaxy points!
"Brother, you just got out of the hospital, eat more." Chen Xiaoyue pushed the ribs in front of Chen Yueyuan, her bright eyes showed a trace of reluctance, and she took a piece of potato and swallowed the saliva that kept secreting from her tongue along with rice.
Chen Yueyuan naturally noticed Xiao Yue's swallowing action, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, children are always greedy, this is applicable no matter where it is, it is enough to have this intention.
"You eat too." Chen Yueyuan only took one piece and put the rest into his sister's bowl.
"Huh? That...... Then give my brother three pieces, I can't eat so much. Chen Xiaoyue was a little overwhelmed for a while, and hesitated for a while to give the ribs to Chen Yueyuan again.
"Okay, Xiaoyue, your brother feels it, you are still young, it is the time to grow your body, so don't be polite." Chen Yueyuan put down the chopsticks and touched the girl's little brain, the soft hair made him love it, and it was exactly the same as Chen Xinyue's feeling when he was a child, but it was a pity that he couldn't touch it when he grew up, saying that he would become stupid if he touched it too much.
“…… Thank you brother. Chen Xiaoyue muttered softly, not resisting the hand that touched her head, this was the first time her brother had done such an intimate gesture to her for so many years, and she had always thought that her brother didn't like her.
"Speaking of the doctor who said that my brother hurt his head, it has become a little different, is my brother a tsundere? Because of a head injury, you forgot the disguise on the surface and showed your heart? ”
Chen Xiaoyue thought about it while picking up the rice:
"Sure enough, how can a brother who doesn't like a cute sister like me!"
"Oops, what was I thinking?" Chen Xiaoyue was greatly embarrassed by the thought that suddenly appeared to her, and her whole little face turned red again.
Chen Yueyuan naturally didn't know about her sister's rich inner drama, and she also started to eat after the addiction of touching her head, and she hadn't eaten since noon, and her stomach was about to protest.
I don't know if it's because the food here is more delicious, this dinner Chen Yueyuan ate four big bowls to feel full, thanks to his own family is growing wheat, otherwise this staple food may not be enough.
After the meal, Chen Yueyuan took over the work of washing the dishes, and he couldn't let his sister work alone, not to mention that he was not Chen Yueban himself, even if he couldn't enjoy his sister's service with peace of mind, right? Isn't it painful for relatives like my sister?
After a busy day, Chen Yueyuan finally lay on the bed, different from the hospital ward and the medical cabin on the scientific research ship, in this simple bed, he felt extra relieved, as if even the soul had found a home, maybe the environment here is more similar to the earth, there is not much time to remind Chen Yueyuan that this is a marker of the future world, so that he subconsciously breeds a sense of security.
Thinking back on the experience of the past few days, Chen Yueyuan couldn't help but feel incredible for his luck, could it be that he couldn't draw SSR in his mobile game because he had accumulated all his luck after crossing over?
"In short, since the crossing has become a fact, my goal now is to live, so that it is possible to find a way to go home." Chen Yueyuan secretly thought about the future: "It's not all bad to be recruited by the scientific research ship, there may be a chance to get in touch with things about the teleportation base." ”
Through the description of the scientific research ship on the personal terminal, the device scientific research ship created by the Xianyu people will definitely be recycled and studied, and if he can mix in it, he may have unexpected gains.
"Woo~" A hint of sleepiness hit, Chen Yueyuan took his MP4 from the bedside table, put on headphones and prepared to listen to some music to relax, at this moment, there was a trace of warmth in the birthday gift that his sister gave him.
The beautiful music gradually sounded:
Stop the time to find you asleep
No matter how you block it, the result will be around you
End the long trip and return now
You're heading home, and now you're on your way home again......
The brisk melody soothed Chen Yueyuan's restless heart, and soon made him fall asleep.
