Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 34
[Thirty-four, Kunlun guest]
“There is Yunliu Tower in the city, what if you need to leave the city?” Qingchen asked about other things.
“Usually it is more troublesome to go out of the city. You can go out, but you need a visa to go through the customs,” Jiang Xue replied: “It seems that because smuggling is too rampant, the tax collection agency has set up customs checkpoints. The tax agencies in the world are very powerful. than the state machine of the consortium army.”
“The tax agency is so powerful?” Qing Chen was stunned for a moment.
“Yes, not only has a powerful executive department, but even has its own intelligence department, which is completely different from the world,” Jiang Xue replied.
“Then if you pass through customs, do you really go outside the city?” Qingchen asked.
“I heard that there are also cloud towers scattered on both sides of the road in the wilderness,” Jiang Xue explained: “The mechanical limbs also have larger energy storage, just like we buy mobile phones in the world with 64G, 128G, 256G, more Durable ones are more expensive. Generally, everyone has no concerns about durability, so they all choose cheap ones.”
“Oh, it’s for people to buy and consume,” Qingchen nodded.
“In the inner world, many young people pursue mechanical limbs, just like some children in the outer world pursue sneakers and new mobile phones,” Jiang Xue explained: “Not only that, but many people will also decorate their mechanical limbs, such as inlays. Gold thread with fine lines, gold edging, or inlaid with gems and diamonds.”
Qingchen sighed: “I understand this, it’s the skin in the game…”
Jiang Xue thought for a while: “It’s not impossible to understand this way…”
Suddenly, Qingchen recalled the prisoners in Prison No. 18.
It seems that many people have golden decorations on their mechanical limbs. Gems and diamonds are rare, but there are quite a few golden ones, such as Lu Guangyi!
Qingchen asked tentatively, “Are those inlaid gold threads and bars real gold?”
“Yes,” Jiang Xue nodded.
“Then…is the gold in the inner world the same as that in the outer world?” Qingchen asked again.
“It should be the same,” Jiang Xue said. “The five major consortium banks in the world all issue currency based on gold reserves.”
Now, Qingchen finally knows how to make money from the world!
He even clearly remembered how much gold on whoever had it!
Other things may not be easy to realize and easily reveal their identity, but gold does not have this problem.
At this moment, Lu Guangyi may not know what he will face.
Qingchen asked: “What is the means of transportation in the wilderness, is it also an electric car?”
“The military will use diesel-engined cars,” Jiang Xue replied.
Diesel engine, with high explosive energy, low speed and high torque, is more suitable for military use and heavy-duty off-road.
Moreover, the diesel engine basically has no circuit, and it can be started completely by hand cranking and pushing, which is more suitable for severe environments and climates.
Qingchen didn’t expect that the world is still using diesel engines…
Jiang Xue added: “Of course, the military also has more powerful aircraft, which use liquid oxygen armor… I forgot what the armor is. Rich people in the city also use floating vehicles as means of transportation, and they also use this fuel.”
“Liquid oxygen methane?” Qing Chen asked.
“Yes, this is it,” Jiang Xue’s eyes lit up.
“Space fuel,” Qingchen sighed again: “This is what Musk and Tesla’s SpaceX rockets use now.”
Jiang Xue said to Li Tongyun: “Xiaoyun, you must study hard like your brother Qingchen. You can guess what I want to say if I say half of my name.”
Regarding the qualities of Qingchen Xueba, even Jiang Xue slowly felt it.
Whether it is the interpretation of wireless charging just now, or the instant understanding that she is talking about liquid oxygen methane, this is definitely not possible without a wealth of knowledge reserves.
It’s a very unique feeling,
It was as if there was nothing this young man didn’t know.
For Qingchen, the appearance of Jiang Xue and Li Tongyun, two transmigrators, filled some of his cognitive gaps.
In Prison No. 18, in order not to reveal the identity of the transmigrator, he could not ask more.
After returning to the watch world, it is difficult to distinguish the true and false of those noisy information.
Now that Jiang Xue heard the real “inner world”, he was still a little excited.
Jiang Xue’s mechanical limb clinic has three teachings and nine streams, but it is a good place to inquire about news.
Qing Chen suddenly asked as if he was remembering something: “Then… Xiaoyun called me, did he want me to help?”
Li Tongyun said: “My mother can’t lift her hands, can I trouble you to help take care of my mother for a day.”
At this time, Jiang Xue’s arms were hanging down on both sides of his body, and Qingchen could see that the other party didn’t wash his face this morning, there was eye mucus in the corners of his eyes, his hair was not combed into his usual ponytail, and he didn’t prepare breakfast for Li Tongyun, so he was very embarrassed.
It is really troublesome to say that this mechanical limb is powered off. In the inner world, it can be charged anytime and anywhere, and in the outer world, you have to save it.
At this time, Qingchen still remembered that there was a traveler in Luocheng before. In order to get rid of the following shots, he jumped up to the roof of several meters.
But this is fine, at least the modders of mechanical limbs will have scruples in the watch world.
He looked at Li Tongyun’s expectant eyes, then looked at Jiang Xue’s apologetic look, and sighed, “But I don’t know how to take care of people.”
There is no class on Sunday, so there is plenty of time, but Qingchen can only take care of himself, and he has never taken care of others.
Jiang Xue hurriedly said, “No, no, don’t take care of me. It’s just that I can’t cook for Xiaoyun today, can you help take care of her.”
It can be seen that Jiang Xue is really guilty.
And Li Tongyun said aggrievedly from the side: “Brother Qingchen, you can cook us some food, I’m hungry.”
Qingchen smiled: “It’s no problem to cook.”
As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door outside: “Hello, is anyone at home?”
Qingchen was standing in the living room. He glanced out the window and saw the off-road vehicle of the mysterious organization.
“Xiaoyun, go and open the door for the guests, and I’ll go to the kitchen to cook for you,” Qingchen said, and got into the kitchen, and put an apron on himself, leaving only a back view outside.
Xiaoyun opened the door, and two young men in black suits walked in and said to Jiang Xue, “Hello, I’m Lu Yuan. We’ve met people from Kunlun.”
Kunlun?
Qing Chen froze in the kitchen for a moment. It turned out that the name of the other party’s organization was Kunlun.
I just heard Jiang Xue say, “Please sit down, Xiaoyun, and pour water for the guests.”
The Kunlun members wondered: “What’s wrong with your arm?”
“The mechanical limbs have no energy,” Jiang Xue explained.
“Remember this,” the young man said to his companion. He and Jiang Xue learned about the situation of the mechanical limb. It seemed that they did not know whether the mechanical limb would have energy.
Qing Chen, who was eavesdropping in the kitchen, guessed that the other party might have just been established as Jiang Xue said, so he didn’t know much about the inner world.
Jiang Xue asked, “Are you two here?”
“Oh, we want to ask something,” the Kunlun member said: “Last night, there were two gangsters, one of them escaped from your residence and was attacked in the community and broke his leg and shin. Do you know who did this? Right? Don’t worry, we’re not here to pursue legal responsibility, we just want to know.”
Qing Chen’s heart suddenly lifted.
