Volume 4 The Beginning of the Journey Chapter 2 Overview of Celta
The large and exquisite campus opened Sihan's eyes, presumably the campus in his impression was just a model of the ancient earth that Grandpa Kong had told him about. At that time, the campus was divided into an area, and some buildings were built, and the teaching building belonged to the teaching building, and the office building belonged to the office building, each performing its own duties, and a few playgrounds were added. Unlike today's schools, which are completely integrated into the surrounding residential area, there is no one to lead them, and you don't even know where you are going to take classes. The stadium is fully open, with playgrounds, gymnasiums, and swimming pools. Of course, some facilities are actually activities for surrounding residents, but residents will have a certain time limit, and everything will be prioritized to meet the needs of teaching.
Wang Sihan looked dazed when I first brought him into the school area, but he was very happy to hear my explanation, especially when he knew that the school had a series of sound sports facilities. You must know that at the time of Green Star, due to the restrictions of manpower and manufacturing at that time, sports facilities were also very lacking in the school sample.
"Brother Jingtian, Sister Su, the Celta Star where we are located is still the size of our home planet, Earth! Let's talk about the situation of Celta! After learning about the school, Wang Sihan turned his eyes and asked another question. I glanced at the fluffy door, signaled that it was up to her to tell the story, and the silver bell-like voice rang out.
"With a diameter of 14,600 kilometers, Celta is a little bigger than Earth, and its gravity is also a little bigger than Earth. It is mainly composed of five continents, namely Gangbo Continent, Ancient Cloud Continent, Virther Continent, Oschia Continent, and Fisfil Continent. Among them, the people mainly live in the first two continents, Werther and Osquia have research bases, while the Fisfield continent remains pristine and is not allowed to go to it, so it can be said that it is a forbidden area. ”
"Why is there a forbidden zone?" The little guy was puzzled.
Instead of answering directly, he asked, "Then do you know which of these continents is the most beautiful and has the most species?" ”
"Aren't they the two continents ahead? We must have stayed in the most beautiful place! ”
"No, it's Fessfield. With an area of 55 million square kilometers, Fessfil is the second largest continent, with steep mountains, numerous rivers, lush forests, and many living creatures. To the north, it is connected to the north by the narrow Lit Peninsula and the continent of Oschia, which form the land mass of the Western Hemisphere. She smiled and said. Sihan's answer is not strange, according to the thinking of the original earthlings, this is the result.
"Ahh Hearing what Su Fei said, the little guy couldn't help but open his mouth wide, very surprised, and looked ignorant. I patted him on the shoulder and told him about the four rules of the Alliance, and the little guy nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Take Sihan to the Science and Technology Museum to have a look, there are a lot of information about Celta Star over there! It's a little more intuitive that way. I nodded.
The Science and Technology Museum is very eye-catching, and there is a semi-dome building at the end of the huge Science and Technology Plaza. The technical content of the building is quite high, the diameter of the 88-meter-diameter circular exterior wall cover is only 1 centimeter thick, and there is not a single pillar in the museum, which is supported by a high-strength cover wall made of aerospace materials. If you look inside, it's like a giant eggshell over your head. There are many trapezoidal windows regularly arranged on the outer cover wall, and the light is scattered in the room through the special glass windows, forming a bunch of colorful spaces that are dazzling, so the Science and Technology Museum is also called the Rainbow Pavilion.
As soon as Sihan entered, he was shocked by the gorgeous indoor rainbow and the large space, and let out a "Ha! A long sigh. After his brain and chest had adjusted to the scene in front of him, I led him to the three-dimensional globe. After listening to me explain the use of the planetarscope, Sihan couldn't wait to go around the globe to understand the situation of each continent and the relationship between their positions.
Sihan looked very carefully, and from time to time he zoomed in on a certain continent area, and in addition to the terrain, he also had a detailed understanding of the flora and fauna of various regions. I saw that he was also interested in flora and fauna, so I continued to talk about this aspect.
"Celta's flora and fauna are in the early and middle of the Cenozoic Era compared with the earth, and the animals are mainly large mammals, with fierce spotted tigers and fine rodents; There are also many large reptiles, such as the curvain-horned rhinoceros, triangular pangolin, unicorn pangolin, etc. Plants have a large number of species that can be eaten by us, such as bell sheep potato, purple green fruit and so on. This is also an important reason why we chose a certain planet as a settlement. It is important to know that the species of animals and plants we bring from the earth must be strictly selected, and they can only be planted or stocked on a new planet to ensure that the growth of native species is not affected, and the planting and stocking areas are strictly limited. ”
Sihan's gaze turned to several human settlements, and I immediately followed up to introduce this aspect: "People mainly live in the huge semi-desert area that connects the Gangbo Continent and the Guyun Continent near the sea, and this area is dotted with oases. These oases range from large to small, with the largest ones being hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and the smaller ones being only a few hundred square kilometers. Settlements have been built around these oases. Celta is dominated by earthlings and Saipans, with a total of more than 30 million people. The Saipan people are very short, with an average height of only 1.6 meters, and their eating habits are very different from those of us earthlings. Because of racial differences, the two types of people rarely live together. Generally speaking, we earthlings and Saipan people get along well, and there are a few people who like the food of our earthlings, and some of the traditional foods of Saipan people are also quite popular with us. ”
Sihan also kept zooming in with his hands to see the difference between the living quarters of the earthlings and the Saipans with his hands as I introduced him, and his expression was very focused.
"Is this a place to buy things with money?" Sihan was looking up some common daily necessities again, his bones were shining, and his thoughts were changing quickly.
"Money has long since become a cultural relic, and we will get a certain quota every month, and we only need to swipe the identification code when we use it. The monthly quota for ordinary people is 4,000, and the highest can reach 7,800, and there will be a subsidy if they go out on a mission. The material conditions of Celta are still very rich, and the prices are cheap. We spend quotas mainly on food and travel every month. A meal is generally about 10 quotas per person, and of course it is not surprising that you want to eat well and spend 100 quotas. The cost of tourism is generally the bulk of everyone, as long as everyone goes outside to play on holidays, and the accommodation and meals in the tourist area are still very expensive. It costs 100 quotas for one night, and about 100 quotas for a day's meals. Under normal circumstances, everyone can't use 4000, there are leftovers. For example, some normal daily necessities and water and electricity bills are not subject to quotas as long as they are within the standard consumption, but if they exceed the standard consumption, they still need to be quotas, and the more they are exceeded, the higher the unit price. ”
"Can I keep the excess for next month?"
"Yes, but it can only be kept until the third month, and it will be invalid after that."
"Will you spend too much in the last month?" The little one blinked.
"How so! Waste is shameful. "I'm very curious about the little guy's thoughts, it seems that there is still a generation gap between the thoughts of the ancients and the modern people!"
"Brother Jingtian, I have to work for a few days that week! I saw that my aunt (my mother) worked six days last week, and only four days this week, and she had a break yesterday and I asked her if she had taken leave, and she said strangely what kind of leave. ”
I smiled, during this time, Sihan watched some costume films, and regarded the ancient habits as the present.
"Except for some special departments such as scientific research institutes and space agencies, it is generally stipulated that you will work at least four days a week, and the time is arranged by you, as long as you report the plan for the next week on the weekend. In fact, in addition to having something to travel, everyone comes to work very consciously, and people's lives are spent in travel and work. ”
"In this case, most people will go to four days a day! Four days is enough anyway! Sihan looked up at me and said quite confidently. I sighed, it seemed that I had to change some of his thoughts, otherwise I would be laughed at by his classmates in the future.
"How so! According to statistics, the average time for ordinary people to work a day is 5.5 days, except for traveling or encountering some special things, basically no one will stay at home and rest deliberately. “
"Ahh Sihan scratched his head, puzzled.
I was about to explain it more clearly, when he laughed and said, "Isn't there an old saying on earth that labor is glorious!" Haven't you heard! ”
Sihan nodded and said, "I've heard Grandpa Kong talk about it. ”
"Wouldn't that be good!"
"yes!" Sihan laughed. I looked at the two of them and smiled, it seems that sometimes a woman's way of dealing with problems is also very desirable.
"Then where is Lingzhou under our feet?" Xiao Jiajie turned the planetary with his hand and was looking for it. I turned the planetary to Lingzhou's position and looked at his expectant eyes, estimating that he would have a lot of related questions, so I would simply explain them in detail.
Lingzhou is located on the southern edge of the Sask semi-desertification area on the Gangpo continent, bordering the lush Huiling Plain. The city has a population of about 120,000 people, which is considered a large city in Celta. The cities of Celta are generally divided into three sizes, with a population of 120,000, 80,000, and 40,000 respectively, and the rest are small towns of a few thousand people. The size of a city's population depends on the sustainable growth of the local ecosystem, the most important of which is water. However, no matter how good the natural conditions are, the maximum population size cannot exceed 120,000. The urban area of Lingzhou is long and narrow, about 12 kilometers long from east to west, about 8 kilometers long from north to south, and is divided into 38 residential areas, and there are many artificial forests between each residential area. The area where we live today was originally a semi-desert area, and people have transformed this semi-desert area into a green space and built a city through hundreds of years of efforts. The lake in the center of the city is called Tianhu, and this area is also the best environment in the whole city, where my family and you live now.
Sihan turned the globe again, and watched him browse quickly from city to city, and the speed was very fast, and I was a little Namon. Sihan turned his head and asked again: "Why is every city about the same size, even the length and width are about the same?" ”
This time, I explained: "How big each city should be, how much area it should have, and how much population it can accommodate are all strictly calculated, and everything is controlled by the upper limit of environmental capacity. Every planet that can give birth to life is the best gift from the universe to all life, and all of us species must not only consider our own needs, but also consider the ecological situation of each species, otherwise nature will retaliate. ”
"Oh!" Sihan nodded as if he didn't understand.
