The Wasteland of the Night, the City of Night.

An energy tower that runs through the sky is located in the center of Night City, this behemoth runs day and night, constantly radiating heat energy to the surrounding area to fight against eternal night and cold, *** unencapsulated movable levers, gears and various mechanical mechanisms continue to move in bursts of noise, and the heat vent at the top of the tower flashes with a blazing red light, continuously emitting a large amount of steam smoke towards the sky.

This energy tower is the lifeblood of the entire city, it provides limited power for the factories in the city, makes it possible for the mass production and mechanical operation of all kinds of factories, provides valuable heat for the city, so that the residents and plants in the greenhouse will not be frozen to death in this cold place of tens of degrees below zero.

Most of the people trapped in the Wasteland of the Night, and even all the human cities that inhabit the Night Hemisphere, have survived to this day with the heat and power provided by such behemoths.

Unlike the resource-rich day hemisphere.

The night hemisphere is extremely scarce in terms of both the environment and food resources.

The extremely cold and harsh environment turned the Eternal Night Hemisphere into a tundra, and a large number of plants adapted to the warm environment were frozen to death, and then the herbivores that fed on these plants died in batches, and then it became the collapse of the entire ecological chain.

Eventually, after a few decades, only a few mosses, plants, and small rodents that had adapted to the extreme cold survived.

It is naturally extremely difficult for people to take root in such an environment.

Powered by the Kinetic Tower, the mechanical clock tower emits twenty chimes, the melodious sound of the bell that vibrates the air, reminding the city's inhabitants of the time it is.

After the bell rang, the roar of the various factories on the edge of the pit gradually stopped, and the faint lights in the factories were extinguished before the next punctual time.

After today's shift, Ah Gou changed his clothes physically and mentally exhausted, and walked on the way home dejectedly.

Fourteen hours of intense work made him physically and mentally exhausted, but the thought of seeing his sister's innocent smiling face when he got home made him feel that his physical fatigue had been healed a lot, and even the pace of returning home became much lighter.

You can only wait until you get through this week's shift work, and then consider applying for tools to go out hunting and exploring next week

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes weren't good enough and his permission to join the expedition team to go out hunting and exploring was denied, he wouldn't be willing to stay in the factories of Night City working more than ten hours a day, and sometimes even face the foreman's 24-hour unpaid overtime

But what if you don't?

How can you have money to spend if you don't work?

The company that controls Night City is not a welfare society, and it will not provide any convenience to the residents of the city unconditionally, and all the needs in the city will cost money to eat and water through purchases, and even if you stay at home and do nothing, just maintaining heating will cost a lot of money, and as long as your payment is broken, the company will immediately stop your water, electricity and heating.

Of course, some desperate people will also choose to live near the energy tower, relying on the heat radiated by the energy tower to survive, Ah Dog thinks that if he lives there, there may be no problem, but he also has a sister, he can't let her live in that chaotic, dangerous and dirty environment, so he can only work hard.

Yes, in Night City, it's not enough to work harder, because others will work harder than you do, and if the factory manager is willing to hire workers for a penny an hour, someone will definitely sell his life for half a penny, or a quarter of a penny an hour, for the job.

But not a dog.

He also has a younger sister to support.

So he can only work hard to show his value to the foreman and the factory manager, work overtime without pay, and work harder so that he will not be eliminated by others, but even so, the weekly salary that Ah Dog can get a week is very meager.

He can only eat two synthetic energy bars a day to maintain his body's basic energy needs, and then all the other money is used for his sister's education and daily expenses.

In this way, the salary he received from working more than ten hours a day was only enough to keep the slightest savings. Fun Cabinet

What's more, there have been two strangers in the house who rubbed the heating recently

And in the wild exploration is different, there will be a lot of dangers in the tundra, but how much you can get depends on how many materials you can bring back, and after decades of exploration, there are now a number of resource points that can stably obtain resources on the tundra, if you are diligent, the pay is much higher than now, if you can hit some small animals, in addition to the part of the meat that is handed in, the remaining meat can also be secretly left to take home.

This can be regarded as a reward given by the company to those who take the initiative to take risks and go out to explore.

To study engineering technology, become a bachelor of engineering

Ah Dog has received a few years of general education, which is the education implemented by the company in order to train people who operate all kinds of machines in batches, and from the perspective of the amount of knowledge and knowledge awarded, it is completely incomparable with the compulsory education and general education of the old world, but this does not prevent him from having such yearning and ideas.

Although his education was short, he always remembered the mechanics who taught them in class, the gray trench coat with many metal chains, the white shirt and purple tie that were ironed very neatly inside, the small cloak that was draped over his body, and the pair of shiny leather boots.

I will also never forget the meticulous brushing back of the mechanical bachelor's hair, and the witty and confident conversation.

It's a pity that because he couldn't pay enough tuition, he was kicked out of the school after only completing the compulsory general education for a few years, and he is still crawling at the bottom to this day.

But it is undeniable that the Mechanics did plant a seed in his heart, a seed to climb up and witness the scenery higher.

Go back and read more books, stay up until midnight, and then get up and go to work in an hour

In a flash, Ah Dog had already returned to the shack where he lived.

It's a shack far from the center, and the heat radiated from the energy tower can't cover it, so they can't afford to use the heating legally, so they have to pay for the heating themselves.

Looking at the shack in front of him that was patched up with various iron plates, Ah Gou took a deep breath, forcibly cheered up to dispel the boredom and fatigue of going to work, took out the key and opened the door and walked in.

Lena, I'm back

Yo, boy, you're finally back? However, it was not his sister's immature voice that responded to him, but a man's flirtatious voice, you came back so late, Liz and your sister are shouting that they are hungry for a long time!
