Interlude Reality 01: Above the Moon Chapter 6 Li Lin (Part 2)
Of course, Li Lin didn’t know what the person behind him looked like. After all, he was not a cyborg, and he had no way of seeing what was behind his head.
He just felt that as a pure natural person, he always felt that something seemed strange when staying in that space. He didn't know where this panic came from. Li Lin just subconsciously walked out of the friendly atmosphere of the two people with the plate in his hand, then took it to a lounge and closed the door directly.
All the sounds from outside were instantly cut off. The super-high-quality building materials isolated all possible sounds and vibrations. The space elevator was clearly on its way up, but it gave people the feeling of still being on the ground. It might also be because Li Lin and his compartment were the authorized compartments. There were many complaints on the forum that the space elevator was too shaky and would cause weightlessness. It seemed that it might be a problem with the place itself.
"Ah... He just ran out like that..."
Isn't that a bit rude? But since they are two businessmen, they probably don't care, right?
Is it really useful to be so persistent?
Sitting on a chair in the cabin with a plate in his hand, Li Lin looked at the outside scenery presented on the circuit board and thought a little confusedly.
The structure that looks like a window is actually a projection circuit board. After all, there is an altitude track of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of meters outside. Although there is no problem in theory using only glass or similar structures, it always feels a little unreliable.
In addition, compared with the concave processing technology, it is more appropriate to put the sensor directly on it. Therefore, most of the popular space elevator cabins now use a streamlined sensor placed outside, which receives the visual signal from the outside on a horizontal plane and then projects it. If you feel it is not real enough, you can also use the following interface to insert it behind your head to simulate the senses and experience the real climbing effect and clouds. It can be said to be a very convenient facility.
Moreover, the configuration inside the space capsule is often related to magnetism and electricity. Because of the microgravity environment, it is also equipped with corresponding restraint facilities and devices to avoid any accidents caused by immersion too deep, which is quite convenient.
Ah, no, we should be thinking about politeness now.
“But the cake is delicious…”
How exactly did you do it?
While eating cake while looking at the sky outside, I had almost finished the dessert in hand without realizing it.
Although he felt guilty about being rude, it was not a serious feeling of guilt. After all, those two could hardly be called his friends or ordinary people, and Li Lin did not think he could feel guilty towards the two big capitalists.
Don't you feel guilty for feeling guilty towards someone who is better than you? And those people are not good people at first glance. As the saying goes, business is like a battlefield. Li Lin has some idea of what people who survived the battlefield are like. At least under strong AI simulation, the same personality template of Les Miserables has a very high reference value. So for his impolite behavior, Li Lin just sighed a few times in his heart and then forgot about it.
However, the real difficulty was discovered after eating dessert.
He didn't want to go out, but it was easy to run into those two people outside. Li Lin really didn't want to see two businessmen bragging about each other, so staying here was probably the best choice. But there were still six hours before the space elevator arrived at the station. What to do in such a long time?
If I simply gave myself a shot of sleeping pills and then spent the six hours lying in bed, it would be a bit too wasteful. After all, I finally went out. If I didn't take some hotel gifts or local specialties, would it really be considered going out? And it was very likely that I would stay there for a while... Oh, by the way, I could take this time to read the news on the moon, right?
"Hmm... I remember we should go to... the third canyon area of the Sea of Tranquility..."
Fortunately, there was a network in the space elevator, and Li Lin's terminal quickly projected relevant information and news. It recorded all the matters and records related to the third canyon area of the Tranquility Sea.
You know, except for tourist areas and other special facilities, the surface of the moon is almost uninhabited by humans.
The temperature difference on the moon's surface is too great, so it is not suitable for human settlement. Except for some high-end residential areas and tourist areas, or even terraformed protected areas, which are really stubborn or made for the sake of appearance, most moon people choose to live in underground canyon areas.
Through the energy conversion of the upper heat collector and related industries, as well as the fusion power produced by the internal helium-3 reactor, the development of the entire canyon area is not a big problem, but the problem is the construction of the entire building. Because humans were not used to living underground at the beginning, there were many problems in the initial planning of the lunar city, including the blockage of sewer pipes and daily necessities and many related ecological disasters.
Even when Li Lin was young, he had heard about the most serious ecological protection disaster in history. Due to a very coincidental accident, the entire ecological environment maintenance device of the mining cluster under the Da Vinci crater was distorted, and a chain reaction occurred in the internal food chain, destroying the entire circulation system within a few hours. At the same time, a construction accident occurred in the mining area. Due to human's irregular operation, the explosion in the related area increased the burden on the entire facility, and finally caused the external protection wall to detach, and the air in the moon and the system facilities was interconnected and backflowed, eventually killing tens of thousands of people.
The entire Da Vinci Crater settlement has now been listed as a world-class disaster site, allowing people to constantly recall and remember what crimes they had committed due to their past stupidity.
Li Lin didn't plan to live in the luxury residential area on the moon's surface this time. After all, he was just a tourist. After taking a quick look at the prices of the luxury residential area, he closed the page indifferently and began to look for the pages of hotels and related houses for sale.
It's not that he couldn't afford it, but the ecological cycle tax was too shocking. The price that needed to be paid every month almost made people feel like there was an extra zero. Completely leaving the initial unpleasantness and the two inhuman things behind, Li Lin happily lay on the bed and began his browsing journey, as if he was the only one in the entire space elevator.
