Chapter 56: Starry Sky
Lying on the roof, Lin Yue was enjoying a rare peace, and while he recalled the bits and pieces of his past life, he planned the direction he would do in the future. In his previous life, Lin Yue's location was actually limited to Yancheng, and in the second half of his previous life, Lin Yue came to Yancheng, and since then, Lin Yue has basically stayed here, rarely going to other places.
Lin Yue, who had just come to Yancheng, was actually a low-level member, and after struggling in Yancheng for nearly a year, he became an intermediate member. Then, at the end of the second year after the Great Crossing took place, the class contradictions in Yancheng reached an extremely acute level. At that time, Lin Yue had already vaguely become the leader of the middle and low-level members by virtue of his own strength. In the third year, there were many intermittent fights between the senior members and the middle and low-level members, until the end of the third year, a major riot unfolded in Yancheng, and it was not until the middle and low-level members won the victory that finally ended the polarization of Yancheng.
And in this life, when the conflict between senior members and middle and low-level members will occur, Lin Yue can't predict, but it is certain that this is unavoidable, and it will happen sooner or later. It's just that Lin Yue may not see it, because he won't stay in Yancheng for too long, his main purpose in coming to Yancheng is just to take Liu Yunshuang away, and he doesn't want to ask too much about the rest.
In fact, the day before the Great Crossing took place, Lin Yue could have taken a ride to S City, and then intervened in the establishment and development of Yancheng. But he didn't do this, firstly, because it was relatively simpler to build up power based on the students of their school, and it would retain some moral foundation to a greater extent, because college students had not yet been involved in the world, and were not too deeply affected by the dark side of society, and it was easier to shape; Second, because the construction of Yancheng involves too many interpersonal relationships, such as the relationship between instructors and students in the military academy, which is difficult for Lin Yue to break; The third point, which is also the most important point, is that Lin Yue is afraid of causing a butterfly effect, so that Liu Yunshuang will not appear in Yancheng.
Just as Lin Yue was lying on the roof looking at the stars, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from behind, Lin Yue immediately became vigilant, got up and turned his head to look, and found that it was Lin Shaota who was climbing onto the roof, so he continued to lie down with confidence.
"What are you doing if you don't sleep at night?" After Lin Shaota climbed onto the roof, he sat next to Lin Yue. "What about the stars?"
Lin Yue smiled, and after saying "yes", he asked rhetorically, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”
"Can't sleep!" Glancing at his mouth, Lin Shaota also learned from Lin Yue to lie on the roof, looking at the starry sky, after a pause, he suddenly said: "Eh, Lin Yue, do you think we are still on the earth?" ”
Hearing Lin Shaota's question, Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, and after a long pause, he said: "It's hard to say clearly, the environment here is too similar to the earth, but our gravity here is only ninety percent of the earth's. ”
In fact, in the previous life, there were also departments of astronomical and geographical research in Yancheng, but many of the facilities were extremely simple and the transportation was very inconvenient, so the research progress in geography was limited; But for the study of astronomy, there are some results. In the previous life, experts in Yancheng used various spectacle lenses and various other materials to make a telescope that could magnify thirty times to observe the universe.
After a period of observation, the experts in Yancheng found that the sun was still the same sun; The moon, or the moon; Mars, or that Mars; Jupiter, still the same Jupiter; However, Venus is gone. As it happens, Venus's gravity is about 90 percent that of Earth.
So in their previous life, there was a very big guess about this, that is, the world they are in now is Venus. But with the harsh environment of Venus, how can it become the same as the Earth, and even its rotation direction is completely different from the Earth. And if that's the case, where does the earth go?
After all, only a small part of the information was observed, so there were just various speculations about this aspect, and there was no conclusion until Lin Yue was reborn.
Lin Yue didn't know that the guess was right, so he didn't have a definite point of view in his own heart.
"If this isn't Earth, where is this, and what made us here?" Lin Shaota didn't know the expert speculation of his previous life, so he didn't even know the environment he was in, and the confusion in his mind kept haunting him.
"Everything will always be clear!" Lin Yue didn't intend to tell Lin Shaota some knowledge of his previous life, but said: "Although we are still in a social situation that is not even in the era of cold weapons, as time goes by, all aspects of science and technology will develop. We'll be able to solve all these puzzles when the time comes. ”
Lin Shaota nodded approvingly, but then he sighed again and said, "It's just that we don't know if we can live until that day." ”
"Yes!" Lin Yue said with great certainty.
Lin Shaota didn't speak after hearing this, but kept looking at the night sky in a daze. After a long time, Lin Yue got up, patted Lin Shaota's shoulder and said, "It's not too early, it's time to sleep!" ”
Smiling slightly, Lin Shaota followed Lin Yue downstairs and returned to the room to sleep.
Early the next morning, Tian Mu came to Lin Yue's room again and invited Lin Yue and them to visit around Yancheng together.
"Lao Tian, don't you have to go to work, aren't you the platoon commander in the Yancheng army?" With Lin Shaota's easy-going personality, he soon became commensurate with Tian Mu with Lao Tian and Lao Lin.
Tian Mu smiled and said, "Naturally, I need to go to work, but I have a holiday today." ”
"Holiday?" Zhao Longtao was a little puzzled and said: "Could it be that today is a special holiday, even the soldiers have a holiday?" ”
Tian Mu and Lin Yue and the others walked out of the door of the room and said, "No, there are no holidays. In fact, since I was drafted as a soldier, I have had a lot of days off. In fact, it is not so much that we are soldiers, but that we are full. Only when a large number of people are needed, the superiors will call us to do things, and we are like spare tires, and we basically have nothing to do except for regular training. ”
"Wouldn't that be cool!" Lin Shaota was surprised: "You don't have to be on duty or anything to get paid!" ”
Tian Mu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "How can it be so good, how can we have any salary in this business, at most, the superiors will distribute some bacon to us after work, and our own living expenses still need to do various other part-time jobs to earn." ”
"Work!" When Tian Mu and the others passed by the room where the girls lived in Qingzhao, Xue Dai, who had just walked out of the house, immediately heard these two keywords, and immediately chased after Tian Mu and asked curiously, "What kind of work can be done in Yancheng?" ”
"Don't expect any good work!" Tian Mu looked at Xue Dai's expectant expression, shook his head and said, "More than eighty percent of the work in Yancheng is in terms of hunting and gathering, because although Yancheng can get some sources of meat from the new members who join, it is definitely not enough to maintain the food and clothing of tens of thousands of people in Yancheng. Therefore, hunting and gathering have always been the main work of Yancheng. ”
Hearing Tian Mu's answer, Xue Dai's two willow eyebrows suddenly squeezed together. "I thought I could do some normal work, but I didn't expect it to be hunting and gathering, so what's the difference between this and being outside?"
"There's a big difference!" Lin Yue made an unprecedented speech and said: "If you are outside, the food you hunt can only be eaten quickly, even if it is preserved as bacon, you must always protect it from being stolen by others." But if you are in Yancheng, you can see the food you hunt or collect and sell it directly to the Yancheng market and exchange it for paper money. This way, you don't have to worry about the food going bad or being stolen. And you can also use paper money to buy other things, such as weapons, clothing, etc. In short, if you are in a large group like Yancheng, you can get more resources, and your own resources can be fully utilized. ”
"Lin Yue is right!" Tian Mu smiled and said: "In fact, our human development has never been just about producing wealth through labor, more wealth is actually generated in transactions, because transactions make more full use of resources, which is where the strength of the economy lies." The inside of Yancheng is able to provide such trading conditions, which are not available to people outside. ”
Xue Dai glanced at her mouth after hearing this, and she didn't know if she understood, and said, "I just asked a question about work, and you brought me to the level of the economy." ”
Lin Yue and Tian Mu looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak again.
At this time, Qing Zhao and Tu Bai also walked out of their room and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Lin Shaota grinned and said, "Lao Tian said that he was going to take us to Yancheng for a walk, are you interested in going with us?" ”
Qing Zhao nodded when he heard this, and said: "Of course we want to go, we just arrived in Yancheng, and we don't know much about all aspects of Yancheng. ”
Tian Mu also smiled when he heard this, "I am very happy to drink the participation of several beautiful women!" ”
So in the end, Tian Mu led a group of more than a dozen people to wander around Yancheng.
Not far after walking out of the building where they lived, Lin Yue and the others saw the residential area of the low-level members. This is what the residents of Yancheng call the slum, and it is a large empty area, where all the low-level members are resting on the floor.
When Lin Yue and the others passed by, they happened to see a big dispute in the slum area, and they saw more than a dozen soldiers standing there not knowing what they were dealing with.
