Interlude Reality 01: Above the Moon Prologue: To the Moon
"I feel like I haven't smiled much..."
Looking at the selfie he uploaded on the forum, Li Lin fell into deep thought at the half-smile on his face in the photo.
After all, the Black Tower is a large tourist area, and during the time when Sally's brain burned, they also went to the commercial area and tourist area to play, and took a lot of good photos to hang on the record. Most of the people who play games are tourists and photo lovers, and Li Lin has now realized the beauty of these things.
This is not to say how proud or beautiful it is, but simply looking at the comments below makes me feel that my behavior has received feedback, so I feel very satisfied. However, these feedbacks also make me want to keep improving, so when I see Sally shouting happily at the sunset, while I just look at the photo of the sunset of the black tower with a half-smile, Li Lin feels that it is not a good taste.
Wherever Sally stands, the scenery is picturesque. Judging from her appearance, I am not much inferior to Sally. Why do I feel that this person is full of negative energy at first glance?
Most of the comments were responses such as "I'm afraid the big guys are depressed and don't even smile when they see beautiful scenery."
How about guiding new players in the future? I always feel that playing single-player games becomes more and more tiring and less fun.
When the level is too high, I have to write my own guides and there is no way to slack off. It is not fun at all. If I embarrass myself, I will be beaten up. Sometimes it is not bad to be a lazy person, right? Isn't the purpose of playing games to have fun?
"Let's just go traveling..."
After looking at the boarding instructions displayed on the newly purchased projection terminal, Li Lin sighed and closed the game forum.
Go to the moon.
When talking to the professor, it is not just talking to the professor, but also talking to myself. Since childhood, Li Lin has had the idea of going to the moon. When he was a child, his family took him to the moon several times, but because he was too young, he did not have a very clear impression. However, I saw in the news recently that the orbital elevator was laid near here. As long as you take the car and buy a ticket, you can reach the space network and wait for the time to join the lunar route.
The laying of the sky elevator was not originally so fast, but because the Mars mineral project and the Saturn ring mine were put on track some time ago, the laying of the space track has become extremely convenient and fast with the convenience of large-scale engineering machinery and the microgravity environment of space. Especially after the Saturn ring completely abandoned human control and turned to AI for full reception, the speed was about ten times faster. The mineral containers were directly dropped from the Saturn ring or the Mars launch site, and the disposable engines were used to concentrate them in place. The first batch of external structures can be constructed by decomposing and bonding them on the spot through nanomachines.
The internal microstructure and core will wait until other rail elevators are laid to connect the pipes, and then the engineering pipes will be continuously corroded and rubbed. It will take at most fifteen days to make an outer ring structure. There may be some problems with the cables and riveting due to accuracy, but it is not too difficult to locate them with laser ladders. At most, there is an atmospheric aircraft flying beside, which can also be regarded as a way to check for deficiencies and make up for them.
This time, a commercial and civilian type II rail elevator was built next to Li Lin's house. Although the speed was a bit slow and it took four hours to reach the outer track, the comfort and safety were very good. If it wasn't right at the doorstep, Li Lin would not have bothered to buy a ticket to go to the moon for a tour.
"The moon, what does the moon look like... I haven't been there for so long that I've forgotten..."
When I was a kid, I spent tens of thousands of dollars on traveling with my family a few times. Now the price has dropped to just over a thousand...
He changed into ordinary clothes and walked out of the room as if he were going out normally. The convenient service brought by the A-level authority allowed him to park a special vehicle at the door, waiting for him to take a seat.
He opened the door and got in. Even without Li Lin's instructions, this sci-fi-looking car started silently and moved steadily along the predetermined route. If it weren't for the rapidly receding scenery around him, he wouldn't even know that the car was moving forward.
“Technology is great…”
Breathing the slightly fragrant fresh air in the car, Li Lin leaned against the bed and looked at the receding scenery outside.
The more advanced the technology is, the more people will pursue retro styles. For example, the interior of Li Lin's car has the interior decoration of a taxi or a private car, which is really a bit of a headache.
Although he has an inexplicable aversion to space cities, Li Lin still has a certain interest in going to the moon. The pale moon is now covered with human colonies, but for the sake of environmental protection and waste utilization, most human settlements are built inside canyons to prevent accidents caused by low gravity. Once someone was reckless enough to use a jetpack on the surface of the moon and almost became a lunar satellite, but was rescued by a drone.
However, when it comes to the moon, the most attractive thing is not the housing environment there, but the tourism business there. After all, if it comes to housing prices, it is better to go to Mars or the space station. Although Mars is jokingly called the mining planet, it still has a pretty good housing environment. The atmospheric cleanup tax paid is not high, and the gravity maintenance and time devices required do not need to be deliberately adjusted. It is a very friendly place. The space city is completely technological, enjoying the happiness of the big guys, and the rich can get the best things in the space city. Compared with the earth and Mars, the moon feels a bit up and down.
Therefore, compared with settling there, more people like to visit the original human colonies on the moon. Visiting the first colony and collecting lunar soil have always been major tourist projects on the moon. Although the previous colony bases have been renovated several times due to space radiation and small meteorite problems, the important thing is not the appearance, but the first step of mankind in the starry sky. For example, the number of tourists to the human colony on Mars is not as high as that of the lunar colony. This is the difference.
The first one always attracts attention. Li Lin personally likes it very much
When he was a child, he liked to be the first to attract attention, so he liked the lunar colony very much. But when he grew up, he lost interest in the pale white sphere hanging high above his head.
Now think about it, if you think it's good, it's not impossible to live there for a while? Anyway, I have money, so I can just buy a house on several planets. I heard that the Saturn ring has also started a housing business, maybe I should buy one too?
I always feel like I should do something, I can't just play games for days on end like I am now and be a vagrant...
Try getting a job on the moon?
"We have arrived at the rail elevator station. Please pay attention to safety to avoid accidents."
"oh."
Interrupting his train of thought, Li Lin responded and casually opened the car door. Looking at the building that reached into the sky and the breeze blowing in front of him, facing the miracle of human architecture , Li Lin subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
