Chapter 32: Eating and Visiting the Chip
It wasn't until they walked into the reserved private room that the look on Ralph's face relaxed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Ralph patted his chest and said, "The environment outside just now really scared me to death. ”
"What's there to scary?" Hearing Ralph's words, Fergtan didn't react at all.
"It's not the people out there, they look like walking dead." Ralph said angrily, and then Zhou Xin explained to Fergtan in detail how he felt outside.
"Oh-" Fergtan suddenly understood, and he explained, "maybe it's because you don't have the chips installed, don't look at them like this, in fact, they are talking to other people in their heads, so they don't pay attention to themselves or their surroundings." Okay, let's not talk about them, I'm going to start ordering, what do you want to eat? ”
"Uh-there's a menu-" Zhou Xin was halfway through his sentence and remembered that they definitely wouldn't have such a menu, so he changed his tone and said, "Whatever you want, as long as it's not too strange, I'll accept it." Hearing Zhou Xin say this, others then expressed the same thoughts.
After all, it was the first time to eat on an alien planet, and Zhou Xin was a little worried at first that the food of the Norzans would be unpalatable. But when he saw all the meals, he was relieved. First of all, at first glance, the food of the Norshan people is quite similar to that of the earthlings, with meat and vegetarian food, and there is nothing very strange in it. After tasting it curiously, Zhou Xin finally put his mind at ease, his first feeling was that the food was good, with an indescribable sour and sweet taste, quite the level of a chef on earth. After eating this meal, Zhou Xin found that sweet and sour seemed to be the main taste of the Norshan people, and most of the dishes on the table had similar tastes, but although the taste of each dish was basically similar, Zhou Xin and they did not feel disgusted to eat it, perhaps it was also related to the fact that they ate it for the first time here.
Most of the food during the banquet was ordinary, and only one dish caught Zhou Xin's attention. It is not accurate to say that it is a dish, but it should be the staple food of the Noshan people, that is, "rice". When the bowl was served, it was a little unremarkable, just a white ball the size of a fist, and it wasn't until Fogtan introduced it that they realized it was "rice". From a distance, the Norsan's staple food resembles a giant rice ball, but when that bowl of rice is placed in front of their eyes. Zhou Xin discovered that the "rice ball" was not formed by kneading the rice grains together at all, but was a whole spherical object with a smooth surface. After tasting it, Zhou Xin found that its taste was no different from the rice on the earth, and after asking, Zhou Xin and they knew that a grain of "rice" they had here was so big. This can't help but make Zhou Xin sigh that the world is really full of wonders.
After a satisfying dinner, Zhou Xin began to ask the crowd what they thought next.
"Let's go back." Ralph replied a little sullenly, "I wanted to go out for a stroll before, but just after walking all the way, it was neither lively nor able to communicate with others, so where would I still be in the mood to go shopping?" People feel that although there are a lot of people here, they can't even compare to the atmosphere in our spaceship. ”
After thinking about it, Zhou Xin also felt that what Ralph said made sense, so he asked Fergtan to take them back to the Central Tower.
=A Calm Night=
Since everyone no longer had the idea of wandering around, the next day, the curious Zhou Xin proposed to Fergtan to observe what the chip in their brains looked like.
Of course, it was impossible for Fergtan to take out the chip in his brain and show them it, so he took Zhou Xin and his party to the chip production department.
What Zhou Xin didn't expect was that this chip production department was actually on the central tower, and it was a few floors above where Zhou Xin and the others lived now.
Hopping on the elevator, Fergtan led them to a small room. Near the middle of the room, Zhou Xin and the others saw several people gathered around a device that looked like a conveyor belt. One end of the conveyor belt was in the room, while the other end was going through the walls of the room, and I don't know where it went. Hearing that the door was opened, several people in the room focused their eyes on Zhou Xin and them.
"This is the production line of chips?" Looking at such a simple room, Zhou Xin was a little unconvinced.
After a few seconds of silent communication with the people in the room, Fergtan turned his gaze back to the conveyor belt, ignoring Zhou Xin and them as they entered. At this time, Fergtan replied: "Of course not, this is just the location where the chips are produced, and the place where the chips are actually made is there." As he spoke, he gestured to a closed door on the side of the room. He continued: "However, only a few people are allowed in there, so we can just wait here for the chips to be produced. ”
"Is the production of chips fully automated?" Zhou Xin asked.
"Of course." Fergtan replied as a matter of course, "For such a delicate item, every step in the production process cannot be done manually, so the production of the entire chip is fully automated from the beginning." Look, there's a chip coming out. At the same time, Zhou Xin saw that the end of the conveyor belt passing through the wall lit up slightly.
After a few seconds, Zhou Xin saw a palm-sized object being sent out. It was a boxy, flat, blue-gray object with a metallic sheen on the surface, and it looked like a box, and it looked a little unsightly. But it was just such an object that immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
The box had barely reached the middle of the conveyor belt when a man with gloves carefully transferred it to a tray next to it. Then, the man walked quickly and carefully in the direction of Zhou Xin and them with the tray in his hand. However, halfway through, the man was intercepted by Fergtan.
After a brief exchange, Fergtan took the tray from his hand with a somewhat unhappy look on his face. Then Fergtan put the tray in front of Zhou Xin and said, "Look, this is the chip in our brains." ”
After Fergtan finished speaking, the man who had just held the tray said in an extremely unskilled Nuoshan dialect that Zhou Xin said the first thing after seeing him, "It's okay to see, but it's not allowed to touch ......."
