Chapter 227: A Night Talk in a Bar
The night of ten o'clock is a time for many people to rest. But in some people www.biquge.info nightlife is just beginning.
In the mixed air environment, full of the smell of tobacco and alcohol, under the colorful rainbow lights, a pair of young men and women are twisting their waists and buttocks wildly on the dance floor with the rhythm of the music, releasing the pressure accumulated throughout the day.
In a more remote corner of the bar, Fang Yan was sitting quietly playing with the wine glass in his hand, and from time to time he brought it to his lips and took a sip of the liquid in the glass.
Of course, the sorcerer's dialect generally does not drink alcoholic beverages, so the liquid in his cup is actually nothing more than a juice drink called "Emerald Dream", which is said to be made with the legendary "mint".
That's right, it's a legend!
Fang Yan took a sip of "Jade Dream", feeling the cold numbness that stimulated the taste buds, and couldn't help but pull out a sarcastic smile.
Who would have thought that on the earth in 2154, even "mint" would become a legendary thing.
In fact, it can't help but mint, and soon after coming to this world, the dialect found that basically all the edible crops that he was once familiar with have become legends here.
In other words, it has become a legend in the ears of low-level civilians.
In the year 2154, the number of human beings trapped in toxic waste, hunger, and poverty still tripled, reaching an incredible number of 20 billion.
Under the squeeze of human civilization on the gray earth, the earth has long been overwhelmed and is gradually declining. Even the far side of the moon is lit up by the lights of human cities.
Overpopulation, overexploitation, nuclear terrorism, environmental warfare, radioactive material leaks from power plants and waste dumps, toxic industrial waste, air pollution, deforestation, marine pollution and overfishing, global warming, ozone layer disappearance, species extinction... All this makes the once green and beautiful planet look no different from a septic tank.
The oceans are already barren due to overfishing, and the constant influx of toxic wastewater has wiped out all whales and at least half of the fish species. On land, more than half of the species have disappeared since the beginning of this century, and most of the remaining species are endangered.
Humans have taken advantage of technological advantages to survive, but they have moved away from the natural world. Nature has been ravaged and national parks no longer exist, replaced by residential areas and protein farms.
For example, the former Yosemite National Park has been developed into a high-end apartment complex. Most coastal areas have been converted into algae farms, as spirulina is now the only one that can meet the food needs of such a large population. Everyday food has been transformed into a bizarre combination of algae protein concentrate and various spices.
Crops such as wheat, rice, and potatoes, which were used as the main sources of daily food by humans a century ago, have long since become "luxuries" that can only be enjoyed by the world's top people.
As for the "Jade Dream" in the dialect cup, this drink made of mint is a "noble drink" that ordinary people can't even think of. Its status in this world is comparable to that of the top wines that have been cellared for more than 100 years in the last century. The price of a drink for ordinary people is the savings they have saved from more than ten years of hard work.
Of course, these are meaningless to dialects, and the gold in his pockets will not be used up even if they are used up for the dialect to drink for a hundred years of "Jade Dream".
You know, even in the 22nd century, gold is still the hard currency in the earth's currency, and even because the earth's mineral resources have been exhausted, but gold has not been found on other mineral planets in the universe, the price of gold is much higher than in the last century.
Lying lazily on the soft seat, sipping a drink in dialect, while scanning the bar casually with his eyes, his leisurely appearance is particularly eye-catching in the environment of the bar.
However, the people in the bar were already accustomed to the dialect, and no one bothered him. Even if there are infrequent guests who want to approach the dialect out of curiosity, they will immediately be firmly pulled by their friends, and after muttering, they will turn away in a witty way.
"Alan, another cup of Emerald Dreamland!"
Suddenly found the dialect in the empty cup, and greeted the bar in a loud voice.
Soon, the bartender with a long ponytail and a charming face brought the drink in dialect.
Oh yes, Alan is a man!
"Mr. Sean, please slow down!" With the most standard smile and gesture, Alan put a cup of "Jade Dream" on the coffee table in front of Fang Yan.
With a wave of his hand, Fang Yan casually tossed a note, which was denominational, into Allen's arms.
"Your tip."
The smile on Allen's face was even brighter, but he also knew that Fang Yan didn't like to be disturbed by people when he was in a bar, so he quickly retreated after a respectful salute.
Waiting for Alan to leave, he was about to pick up his wine glass and drink again, but his eyes were stunned when he inadvertently swept the door of the bar, but the movements in his hands couldn't help but stop.
"Hey, Dr. Grace, here!" Fang Yan suddenly stood up and shouted to a woman who had just walked in through the door.
As if hearing the call of the dialect, the woman whom the dialect called Dr. Grace walked around the corner where the dialect was.
This is a very capable-looking middle-aged woman, already wrinkled, with a strong face and a pair of intelligent eyes.
Approaching, without waiting for the dialect to greet her, Grace sat down on the soft seat opposite the dialect. Under the watchful gaze of Fang Yan's crying and laughing, she picked up the "Jade Dream" on the coffee table and drank it all.
"Whew~ It's still this jade dream for us researchers!" After drinking, Grace exhaled comfortably, and smacked her lips with some aftertaste, "It's a pity, my salary in a year is not enough to drink a few glasses, or Sean, you live enough to nourish yourself." ”
Fang Yan smiled slightly, did not answer, but beckoned to the bar again, signaling for two more cups of Jade Dream.
"Doctor," Fang Yan said after Alan brought the two cups of Emerald Dream, "I don't know what I said before, how is it going now?" Can you complete a section before the next time you go there? ”
Grace frowned, as if calculating something in her head, and after a moment spoke back to the dialect question: "If you are willing to invest more in the cost of the experiment, it is possible to complete some of it before the next departure." It's just ......" (to be continued) (to be continued.) )
