At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Ping and the others each returned to their dormitories, and the reason why it was so late was because they did not return to the dormitory immediately after eating, but walked around.

After all, it was the first time they came to Ceres, and although they had "explored" many times on the Internet, and even once thought that they knew more about Ceres than the people of Ceres, the field trips were often different from the information on the Internet.

They happen to be the kind of young people who want to explore.

Since Ceres is controlled at night, and there are not bright lights everywhere, they don't go far, but they just turn around a little below, and they feel that Ceres treats outsiders differently.

The outsiders here are divided into the inner solar system, the asteroid belt, and the outer solar system.

Especially the earth, because the earthlings are obvious here, they are generally "short", and one meter nine is not tall, and the height of Lu Ping's group of students is generally between one meter seven and one meter nine, which is even shorter.

The Ceres people who open the door to do business are not bad, no matter what is behind them, but at least there are smiling faces on their faces, and most of the passers-by they usually meet on the road have indifferent faces, and even want to ask something, and the other party will leave as soon as they see their figures, and some will even say "earth shorty" with disdain.

Even if you meet someone who is willing to reply, because of the height difference between the two sides, the other party will always look down at them, they need to look up, it is good to have a short time or a mild temper, if it is a long time or a violent temper, it will be physically and mentally uncomfortable.

Not only them, but also the class group is also talking about such topics, and they all feel that there is a visible gap between the asteroid belt and the earth, even deeper than the gap between countries in the era of many countries on the earth two hundred years ago.

At that time, no matter how far away the geographical distance was, after all, they were all on the earth, even on both sides of the planet, the exchange of information was in seconds, and the communication delay between the asteroid belt and the earth was more than 15 minutes, and it was natural that there would be a gap.

After Lu Ping returned to the dormitory, he immediately washed up, and then lay on the bed and began to check the information, and chatted with the orange cat image of Hongmeng San by the way.

Although the energy stored every day is not much, it can be regarded as a continuous flow, so in order to communicate better and respond to Lu Ping's request to "give an omen before speaking", Hongmeng San's orange cat image is located in all his visual devices.

Of course, it's when he's alone visible.

Flipping through the news posts related to the water and gas market, Lu Ping said: "The energy trading quota here has been relaxed a lot, although every transaction will be recorded, and the bulk review is stricter, but we don't have to do bad things with these, and we are not afraid of recording at all." ”

"It's just that I don't have that much money, plus the salary of 1,127 yuan and some pocket money saved before, my personal savings are less than 2,000, and I can bring the same unit of energy, which is far from the 10,000 units needed for the 'search device'."

"This is just energy, and the materials needed to manufacture it are also an expense, unless you can pick up garbage, otherwise you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, why is it so difficult?"

After settling the account, Lu Ping could only let him sigh in bed.

He is only a student now, and there are really limits to what he can do, and Hongmeng San is very good, but who let it be damaged, he can't do anything without energy, and he needs to feed it often.

The cartoon orange cat licked his front paws, and then comforted him seriously: "Of course it's expensive for you to always think about buying ready-made, and they will definitely add things like cost and profit to selling energy, so it's no wonder if it's not expensive." ”

It said and released a picture, pointed and said, "I'll give you its drawings later, you can get some scrap parts to build this simple 'energy extraction device', and then get some raw materials or scrapped energy storage devices, and it will be much cheaper to produce energy by yourself." ”

"Your industrial manufacturing capacity here is limited, and what you can access is even more limited, although the patchwork device is a bit large and the energy conversion rate is low, but it can be improvised."

"Come on, you'd better rest." Lu Ping glanced at the washing machine-sized device, shook his head and said: "I also thought about producing energy by myself, but it is not suitable now, I don't even have a fixed place, if I put this 'washing machine' on the spaceship to fiddle with, just wait to be watched every day." ”

"With this spare time, I might as well get some parts to save a manpower generator disguised as a bicycle, and step on it every day before going to bed, how wonderful is health and leisure, and when someone asks, I can also say that the public fitness bicycle is a butt."

"It's okay," Hongmeng shook his tail and was silent for a moment, "It's just that the power generation is less." ”

“……”

Seeing that Lu Ping didn't move, Hongmeng San said again: "Bring the statue when I go out tomorrow, I can detect what things have the energy that I can absorb now, and I may be able to pick up a bargain when the time comes." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Ping came to his senses again, "What is the detection range?" ”

"Five meters."

“……”

Perhaps sensing Lu Ping's dislike, Hongmengsan explained again, "No way, after all, many modules are damaged." ”

"Really, I don't dislike you, I'm just tired and want to sleep."

There was no word all night, and the gravity of 0.3G would not affect Lu Ping's sleep, and he had been floating in space for a month, and it was a basic operation to be able to sleep in different gravity environments.

After checking for a long time yesterday and not finding any useful information, Lu Ping went to sleep, anyway, just follow Shen Youde, as the "courtesan" in the trio, he can always collect some incredible information.

After getting up, he asked Jingjing and Shen Youde to have breakfast together, Shen Youde popularized the useful information he found last night to them by the way, and strongly invited the two to visit the old city, where there is a market for old wreckage, but Jingjing received an invitation from a girl in the same class halfway, and decisively abandoned the two brothers and went to visit the jewelry and cosmetics stores in the new city.

In this regard, Lu Ping and Shen Youde both expressed their regrets, what is beautiful about jewelry, the wreckage and old things are interesting, maybe they can find historical clues and dusty treasures from inside.

In this way, the three of them parted ways after eating, and they were not worried about Jingjing's safety at all, not to mention that there were other boys in the girls' group as companions, even if there was an accident, maybe who would save whom.

The light rail departs from the "pigeon cage", and there is a transfer along the way, and after half an hour, you will be in the old town.

The old town used to be the first line of development of Ceres, but after the mine was excavated, it fell into disuse, but the old town also has the benefits of the old town, and it can be said that there are historical sites everywhere.

Due to the old equipment and poor environment, the rent is cheap, and it is very close to the ground of Ceres, there are many various exports, and the "goods" are convenient to transfer, so it has become a gathering place for old goods to sell and Taobao customers, and people who like to explore also like to drill there.

After arriving at the station, they came out of the light rail with their bags on their backs, and they knew what it meant to have old equipment and a bad environment.

There are artifacts from the last century everywhere, there is no screen ceiling that simulates the sky, they are all sturdy and durable solid panels, and in some places there are no solid panels, directly exposing the rock mass, I don't know if it was pried away or it was just like this.

There are all kinds of graffiti on the walls, all styles, some of which are quite artistic when you look closely, and some of them are simply Tuo Xiang, which is really painted with brown paint.

Fortunately, the whole is quite tidy, and after getting used to it, I feel very pragmatic.

After all, the tax generated here is also very objective, and the high-level officials of Shuiqi City have not given up here, and even the "angry picture wall" they saw before is also in a small corner, and ordinary people will not pay attention to it.

It is only when they are new to the city that archaeology students are curious about what they see that they will look at those places.

When they actually entered the tunnel where the wreckage of old goods was sold, they found that it was far more complicated and prosperous than they imagined.

There are relatively formal places, where different old wreckage is clearly arranged according to volume, function, material, age, etc., and is divided into unused tunnels.

There is a hodgepodge of places, all kinds of things are mixed and sold, the real and the fake are seen by themselves, and they don't even want money, and they only accept barter.

The two looked at each other and plunged headlong into the hodgepodge tunnel.

Students like them majoring in interstellar archaeology can visit regular stores when they have time, but if they want to Taobao, they have to go to places that are easy to be deceived.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into a tunnel, I saw a dilapidated red convertible sports car placed in front of a store, the paint of this car was scraped off a lot, and the entire left door was dented into it, but it was inexplicably familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"Isn't it incredible to see a sports car that was launched from Earth into space more than 200 years ago?"

As they watched, a voice speaking Chinese sounded right next to them, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was a black-haired Ceres, at least two meters tall.

Seeing the two of them looking at him, the man introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Zuo Winger, you can call me 'left', everyone here calls me that." ”

"This car is actually a fake, it is 'one-eyed' specially used to deceive you earth tourists, today I met fate, or I will lead you around, I dare not say let you pick up the leak, but at least you will not be deceived."
