ACT314: Mao Mei
Among the six planets in the known star field, Saturn is the first-to-last planet in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of the living environment!
As the farthest planet from the Sun, even if there is a wall of the field regulating the temperature, except for the "tropical areas" around the equator line, which are barely suitable for human life, the rest of the region is comparable to the frozen ice sheet of Siberia.
Zheng He's fleet, which arrived here first, only stayed for less than three days before hastily withdrawing. They were followed by a series of European adventurers, including the Spaniards, the Dutch, the French, and the British, who came to Saturn at the very edge, but all of them froze away.
The British once called it a "God's forsaken corner", believing that although it had air for humans to breathe, it did not have the temperature to save human lives. It wasn't until Tsarina Catherine II of Russia, more than 100 years ago, who threw a boatload of criminals over, that Saturn had its first permanent population.
As early as the beginning of the seventeenth century, the fledgling Tsarist Russia, like other European countries, sought its own extraterrestrial colonies. At that time, the Maozi believed the British side's words that "Saturn is not suitable for human life", so they mainly focused on Venus until the criminals survived tenaciously on Saturn.
In this way, Russia, which was ostracized by France because of religious and other issues, gave up its strategy of attacking Venus and turned around and ran to occupy Saturn, which no one wanted. After experiencing the "severe cold" of Saturn, the Maozi did not think that this place could be much more powerful than Siberia, so they happily stayed.
In fact, when the hairs came, it was the "long summer cycle" of Saturn, and the climate was relatively warm. In Saturn's 29.5-year orbital cycle, except for the long winter period of more than 7 years, the remaining 22 years are acceptable for the hardy Slavs.
And Maozi, who immigrated, soon discovered that not only is Saturn extremely rich in mineral resources. Geothermal resources are also abundant! In many areas, there are underground lava rivers, so the surface temperature is much higher than in other areas, enough for them to survive the harsh Saturnian winters.
When Zhao Jian came to Saturn, it was still in the long summer period, so the temperature was high. However, this "higher" is also relatively high, Maozi is generally built in the equatorial area of Saturn, where the maximum temperature during the day will not exceed 15 degrees Celsius, and at night it will tend to be about 0 degrees.
After the Hydrangea landed, Zhao Jian came out of the cabin and shrank back with his subordinates without taking three steps, and only came out with a small woolen sweater under his coat. Yuri, who came with him, was like no one. He even took off his long-sleeved jacket. It can be seen that the 10 years of living in the Shattered Star Zone did not make his hardiness disappear.
"Damn! It's still summer, but how can you live in winter!? ”
Rubbing his arm, Zhao Jian felt that it was a little colder here than when he first came two years ago, but the clothes of the locals still revealed a "midsummer" feeling. The Maozi sailors on the dock were all half-sleeved, and the porters were even shirtless, which made Zhao Jian and them feel that they were outliers.
Zhao Jian's trip to Saturn was to arrange unmanned reconnaissance stations in the nearby star fields of Titan and Titan, and second, to purchase a batch of steel from the Soviet Union to prepare for future construction.
Originally, Zhao Jian wanted to purchase the cheapest ore. But then I thought that this was a bit inefficient, so I purchased billets instead, and took them back to Thor to strengthen them to the special steel grade with nano remodeling. The Soviet Union's overall steel production in 1938 was more than 18 million tons, and most of it was backlogged on Saturn due to limited capacity. Unsmelted ores are piled up. In addition, Maozi only recognizes money and does not recognize people, so it is very convenient to buy.
The seller had already asked the domestic side to send someone to contact him in advance before Zhao Jian came, and it was a state-owned steel mill in Ukraine. The other party didn't ask who Zhao Jian was or what he was going to do to buy these billets, and slapped the deposit check on the other party's desk. Mao Zi shipped without saying a word!
A total of 80,000 tons of steel billets were bought, and Zhao Jian planned to move them out in two installments. The Hydrangea is a spaceship, so as long as it can fit in the hold. Flying is not a problem.
However, Mao Zi's efficiency really made Zhao Jian dare not compliment! said that there was a lot of inventory and that it could be delivered at any time, but it wasn't until Zhao Jian drove the ship over to receive the goods that the person in charge of the other party sued him. They didn't expect Zhao Jian to come so quickly, and the billet he wanted would take a while to be ready.
In desperation, Zhao Jian could only stay in the hotel in New Kiev first, and wait for the other party to prepare the billet he wanted.
During his stay in Kiev, Zhao kept abreast of the movements of the German army on Titan through the portable communicator he carried and the local newspaper. But Maozi's newspaper only made a small report on the matter, as if it was not a big deal, and the scene seen at the reconnaissance station made Zhao Jian feel even more embarrassed.
After those Germans arrived at their destination, they really used their mecha to open up the wasteland and farm!
Although Zhao Jian has long known that the German I and II mechs were developed under the name of "agricultural machinery". But when I really saw these mecha hoes doing farm work in the field with huge hoes, the strong sense of disobedience was almost overwhelming!
"These Germans are trying to amuse the world!"
Buckled up the laptop-shaped communicator, and the bored Zhao Jian prepared to go for a walk on the street. Novokyiv is currently the third largest city in the Soviet Union, and it is the main settlement of the Little Rus (Ukrainians) in the Soviet Union after the Great Resettlement, so ...... The local Mao girls are really high in both quantity and quality.
"Let's go! Let's take to the streets! ”
With 4 bodyguards, including Yuri, Zhao Jian went to the street to see the "scenery". Originally, he was going to bring King Kong with him, but the other party refused his invitation on the grounds that she hated places that were too cold.
There is no way, Zhao Jian can only take four old men out, among them, Yuri, who has a straight face, is completely an aura that no one can enter. With him in the town behind Zhao Jian, all passers-by on the street automatically and consciously gave way to him, and Mao Mei was even more frightened and hid!
"I said Yuri, this is your hometown, aren't you excited at all when you come back?"
"Boss! My hometown is on Earth, not where birds don't. ”
"But people from your hometown have moved here, haven't they? Isn't that your hometown? ”
"For me, my hometown is where Natasha is. And now I don't have a hometown anymore. ”
“……”
I have to say that Yuri is a man who is infatuated to the extreme, and Natasha's death hit him hard. The reason why he did not choose to die with his wife was because Natasha asked him to promise himself to "live well" before he died, and this promise was the only reason why he did not choose to end his life.
Walking on the street, Zhao Jian couldn't help but think of the time he had missed him (?). After sending Rezenov's remnants back to Saturn, it was no surprise that he and the other party had lost contact with each other, if it had been almost 8 months. I don't know how the other party is doing now.
Thinking about things in his heart, Zhao Jian walked out quite a long way unconsciously, until he heard the sound of an argument in front of him, and then raised his head to take a look. I saw that not far ahead, a well-dressed Soviet aunt yelled at someone with her loud voice, which roughly meant that the other party would pay for her clothes.
Although there were many onlookers around, none of them dared to come up to help. You must know that although the Soviet Union is a socialist country, the elite class still exists, and the aunt who wears fur looks like the master of someone above or below! And the person who was held by her. Completely blocked by her huge size, it seems that she is still a child.
Zhao Jian didn't like those unreasonable aunts in his previous life, this kind of thing made him instinctively blind. However, compared to the previous life of just a sling, Zhao Jian is a young master worth 90 million in this life. Auntie's fur didn't seem like a lot of money to him, so Zhao Jian took out his wallet and walked up.
"This ...... Ma'am, is there anything I can help? ”
"Who are you?"
As soon as she heard that someone was going to meddle in her business, Aunt Maozi turned her head and glanced at Zhao Jian. She saw that the other party's clothes and bearing were not like ordinary people (in fact, it was mainly the aura bonus of the 4 bodyguards in the back), although her expression was still unhappy, but at least she didn't roar anymore. And Zhao Jian took the opportunity to glance at the person who was being dragged by her. I found out that it was a cute hairy carrot!
The little girl looked to be about 12 or 3 years old, with a childish but delicate face, long flowing silver hair that reached to her waist, and her simple clothes could not hide her little angel-like temperament.
However, the little angel was obviously frightened at this time, and the aunt grabbed the other party's slender wrist with one hand, and a paper bag fell on the ground between the two, scattering a lot of bread. The little girl's pitiful expression instantly aroused Zhao Jian's desire to protect.
In order to save the little angel from the clutches of the aunt as much as possible, Zhao Jian asked in a calm and polite tone as much as possible.
"Did this kid stain your clothes?"
"This little girl walked without looking at the road, and almost knocked the old lady down! My coat is leather, and I can't easily wash it with water, and I just rubbed it against the wall and stained my sleeves. I don't want to embarrass this child, just ask her to pay me for the cleaning fee! ”
Hearing the aunt's request, Zhao Jianxin said that although this person was a little louder, this request was not too much. But the little girl who was dragged by her didn't look like she could take out the money. Since the other party clearly put forward the request, Zhao Jian didn't bother with the other party, and happily opened his wallet.
"Say it! How much do you want? (To be continued......)
PS: At night, I suddenly saw a group of beautiful (leg) pictures that seemed to be very good, so I sent it to the author group to share, and the result was less than 30 seconds after it was sent, and "His Royal Highness the Cave Tyrant" pointed out that this is a XX doll, OO style, how much height, how much weight, although the appearance is good, it is very suitable for COS, but it is actually very tiring to use...... So for a while, the authors of the entire group were shocked by this profound "professional knowledge".
PS: This self-proclaimed "quite a study of X air dolls" teasing,The new book "Death Truant Diary" was on the shelves on the 1st.,Friends who are interested in buying that kind of humanoid airbag can go to him for consultation.,Sad Wind's centaur pillow was introduced by him.,Sad Wind likes it!
