"Why? Big night shouting. ”

Before Nip could say anything, there was a protest from next door, and with the sound of a mop banging on the wall, Nip's bed was against the wall, and there was a feeling of knocking directly on his skull.

"Why is the heating gone!" Nip shouted.

"It's gone, it's gone, it's not the first time, damn, it's a waste of physical strength at this time, it's not colder, less tossing! I'm going to work tomorrow! The other party scolded and complained a few words and then fell into silence, Nipu thought that he hadn't spoken just now, could it be that he was talking in his dreams when he had nightmares?

Nipu didn't think too much about it, rolled up the quilt tightly and continued to sleep, the quality of sleep in the second half of the night was very poor, half because of the cold, the other half because of the afterglow of nightmares, Nip's back was pressed against the wall, and he could still feel a chill coming from his back, and an ominous sense of fear enveloped him, until the time he got up in the morning.

There is no daylight on the Star Ring, there is not much heat when the sun comes here, and the volume of the Space City is too small compared to the planet, and it is impossible to rely on sunlight for heating, so each residential area has an independent heating and lighting system, and it is powered by the central fusion furnace of the Star City.

Nip expertly climbed down from the hard bed full of clutter, and there was no time to clean up the mess, he pulled the wrench next to him, and the whole bed bounced back into the wall with a clatter, because he threw too many things on the bed to fully store it, and the bed board bulged up a large piece to block the already narrow space, and Nip had to climb through the gap.

Snail dwelling in a small room of only a dozen square meters, the whole person feels shorter, although this kind of compound cabin is small but very convenient, most young people leave home to work, basically will be assigned to a place like this, the room has no windows, only one side has a door to connect to the outside world, there are ventilation ports and cargo pipes on one side of the wall, the walls are composed of retractable drawers that can accommodate a large number of sundries, but Nipu has no habit of tidying things up, he still likes to throw things around, The cluttered space instead gives him a sense of security.

There was a series of clanging noises in the cargo pipeline, every day this sound was more punctual than anything else, Nip never had an alarm clock, this noise was enough to wake everyone up, the noise would last for about ten minutes, from far to near, and then Nip's own cargo pipeline would make the loudest sound, followed by a prompt sound, and the noise began to go from near to far, until it slowly disappeared.

That's the food ration every morning, and everyone gets a basic food that you can choose to eat or save for recycling.

Nip put his hand into the pipe, fumbled inside the rusty copper pipe, and skillfully took out the contents, a packet of nutritious paste wrapped in plastic film, almost this is the food every day, occasionally changed to canned food during festivals, and on other days, he eats these white viscous liquids in the morning.

"Thursday." Nipp took a bite of what was inside and muttered.

He often can't remember the date, but it doesn't matter, as long as he gets up every morning and has breakfast, he can remember it, and every day the nutritional paste tastes different, Monday is his favorite tomato flavor, and today's walnut flavor, Nipu knows what day of the week it is.

But the taste is just as bad, Nipu wiped his mouth, sealed the remaining half of the nutrient paste with a small clip and put it in his pocket, I don't know if it's because of the nightmare, Nipu has never had any appetite, and the strong flavor in the nutrient paste is even more unappetizing, even so Nipu didn't waste food, he was once hungry, until this kind of food is not easy to come by.

After completing a simple wash in the cramped room, putting on his work uniform, pulling out the toolbox from a compartment, leaning lightly on the side of the belt, the box is attached to his belt, the multi-functional belt connects his uniform straps and shoes, which is a simple version of the exoskeleton, which can share the pressure throughout the body and reduce the local burden.

Twisting the doorknob to the right three times, the old door was pushed open, Nip held the door with one hand, and the toolbox with the other, let his feet go out of the door first, and then the whole person left the room sideways, the whole row of residents opened the door almost at the same time as him, after all, every day lives in the same rhythm, people are slowly getting into the habit, as if they have been wound up.

Nipu closed the small door, and hung the whole person on the ladder, and moved his body to the side to avoid stepping on the people who came out below, the allotment he lived in was not only small, but also dense, from this angle, the whole wall was full of people, and the doors of the dwelling were next to each other, like a beehive, such a wall had ten floors, nearly a hundred rows, and could accommodate thousands of people, most of which were inhabited by more than one person.

The bell rang.

Everyone has recovered from the resting state, they have all woken up, and the star city has also woken up, everything has to return to the operating state, the central core begins to run at full speed, starting from the central area, the entire star city slowly turns, the torrent of energy rushes into the outer layer, and all the facilities enter the normal working state from the energy-saving state, including the gravity system.

Each living circle begins to rotate again, and the rotation creates a simulated gravity, and the first bell indicates that gravity is about to be restored, so that everyone is ready.

Nip grabbed the ladder, tightened the muscles in his hands, and counted to ten in silence.

The time it takes to regain gravity varies every day, and at most there is an error of five or six seconds, but today is still on time, and Nip felt his body fall, like countless little hands pulling him down, and after a few seconds he gradually got used to it, and then climbed down the ladder.

No matter how many times he has experienced it, he still hates the feeling of regaining gravity, and regular swimmers should be able to relate to this feeling, when a person suddenly comes to the surface from the water, he feels that his whole body has become heavier, and sometimes he can hurt himself because he is not adapting.

"It's been a punctual day." The colleague who climbed down from the upper floor teased Nip, and the two of them followed the ladder to the ground little by little.

In fact, most of them will go to the ground before regaining gravity, so that it is convenient to catch the first train, but Nip doesn't like that, there are so many people down there, he hates the feeling of crowding, even if he lives in such a place, he wants to get the most basic space.
