Chapter eight hundred and eighty fifth we only have this
Piao Tian Literature Barnard is the most prestigious person in the town, and Wei can be said to be the most knowledgeable elder in this area. This can be judged from the fact that he can tell at a glance that we are not tourists from the big city, but he said
In the end, his knowledge can only remain at the level of ordinary people.
Even taking into account the overall status quo of the ignorant and stubborn people in this world, Mr. Barnard's shrewdness and sophistication may not be comparable to Uncle Wang in any corridor on the earth. I have always believed that there is a person deep in every residential building and alley on the earth.
Uncle Wang is as firm as faith.[]
After all, Barnard has been dealing with metal stations all his life. In this remote place, all the members of society are metal sorters. There is nothing to think about every day except working and going to the food synthesis machine to collect quotas.
A person has few opportunities for intrigue in his life. He has seen real big city people and high-end spaceships purely because he has lived long enough, but it has nothing to do with being shrewd. Therefore, when Barnard judges our identities
He made a big mistake: he was frightened by his own guess, and then took everything for granted, without thinking carefully about whether it was necessary to be so open and honest to us strangers, saying what should be said and what should not be said.
He said it all over again - of course he may have thought about it. What he said is something that can be found out with a little attentiveness. I'm afraid more than one person in the town knows that old Glick was on the "Hope". Other than that,
Barnard didn't say much, so naturally there was nothing he shouldn't say.
And in fact, strictly according to the rules of this world, it is not unreasonable for Barnard to treat us as special agents from the big city. After all, our group of people does not look like we live in a garbage dump.
It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to walk around in the garbage dump wearing such bright and expensive clothes. All resources in this world are hard-won. The output of each synthetic factory has an upper limit. Luxury goods such as gorgeous clothes can only be
Give priority to the residents of Dacheng. You will never be able to find the same thing elsewhere in the world, just like you will never find a nuclear factory in a place called Dawangzhuang Village. In this way, it becomes an undoubted fact that we are from Dacheng, and then sister
The adults also generously gave Glick a self-discipline machine: Glick is a little boy.
The child may not be aware of it yet, but Barnard, a well-informed old man, knows very well how precious a faultless ancient machine is. It is a kind of wealth that needs to be closely protected for any group anywhere.
What's more, that autonomous machine looks so brand new. Its smooth surface is as if it just came off the production line. It can carry such a thing with you, and it has the right to decide to give it to a civilian child. Only those in big cities can do it.
Only officials can do it, just like on earth, even if you don't bring your ID card, if you just stuff half a catty of hundred-dollar bills into people's eyes when you meet them on the street, it goes without saying that everyone will know that you are a rich man, no matter whether you can make it out alive or not.
You are a rich man for half the street. This is the most powerful thing to prove your identity. In this world, ordinary people cannot be like us. It is like a working-class person on earth who has no ability to say anything.
People just throw over half a catty of banknotes. Even if what you throw is a steel bungee, I'm afraid your annual income is not enough for you to walk 200 meters...
Mr. Barnard's judgment was correct. His only mistake was that he overestimated the high-level attention that Mr. Glick could attract.
A pipe repairman who was at the lowest level on the spacecraft, and a few years ago he was a metal sorter who could only pick up discarded parts in garbage dumps. Such a small role is destined to be unlikely to attract the attention of any special agents. The latter
The ones we have to worry about are the big guys, such as the captain of a battleship or the first and second mates. How can they have the trouble of traveling long distances to find the son of a pipe repairman? Cao Cao asked Zhou Yu to burn down half of his family fortune.
Jiang Gan was chopped into pieces. Do you think he would cause trouble for the soldier who was nailing the chains on the ship? Not to mention that the soldier was probably burned to death...
Shandora said a few perfunctory words and used a little psychological suggestion to successfully make the nervous Barnard relax and believe that we would not take away the little boy named Glick. Then out of curiosity
My sister asked the other party a little more about Glick and Shuizhu.
After all, the two of them are now orphans (we are the only ones who know this for sure yet), and by chance we have obtained the spacecraft where their father worked during his last years. We may even have met the old man.
Glick, the pipe repairman with the ambition to find the New World, may be one of the remains that Viska and I saw when we entered the wreckage of the "Hope", so everyone thought that the two children were related to us.
Because of this fate, I also want to know more about them.
"Little Glick is the oldest child in the town. He will be fourteen years old in a few months." Barnard seemed relieved to know that we would not take Glick away. This man has lived in a remote country all his life and he will return it honestly.
The somewhat honest old man really loved Glick as a grandson. "He is different from other children. It may be due to the influence of his father. That child always likes to hang out in the machinery storage area of the metal station, where adults are
Children at this age rarely go to work places. Little Glick usually likes to pick up some strange parts and take them home, and then assemble them into various strange gadgets, such as projectors that can play images.
The church even sent people over to copy some video data from him to study things in the Age of Gods. He also has some random thoughts, but not as serious as his father, but some of the child's ideas are indeed very sensational.
He was even particularly worried that one day those ancient synthesis machines would malfunction, and even worried that the material materials continuously generated from the underground factories would one day dry up. This kind of whimsical thing made people laugh and cry. Fortunately, he was just a child.
If an adult still thinks this way, it is a terrible sin.
As for Shuizhu, she is just an ordinary little girl. It’s just that she usually doesn’t like to talk. Sometimes she is so quiet that people ignore her. She is Glick’s sister, but she has a completely different personality from Glick.
Her temperament is just like her pair of light blue eyes that are different from those of her brother. The water drops are a special case of the Glick family. Perhaps God saw that there are already two generations of troubled guys in the Glick family,
So let’s let water droplets be born to balance it out, haha.”
As Mr. Barnard said this, he couldn't help but laugh. My sister and I also understand this very well. Glick is a naughty kid who is always passionate about questions, while his sister is simply the other extreme, quiet and indifferent.
Not much to say, when we were guests at her home, the child was so quiet that people couldn't help but ignore her existence. In this regard, I'm afraid even Pandora can't compare to her: after all, although Pandora always has a straight face
There are three nothings, but at least there will always be a beep in the girl's stomach occasionally...
When we said goodbye to Barnard, we said that we might stay here for another two days. As for the reason, we didn't say much more. We just reassured the old man that we had absolutely no intention of harming two ordinary children.
The party in the town is over. The boring daily life makes even the only entertainment in this world so boring and short-lived. But these are all for us. The residents of the town look satisfied and seem to be gathered together.
Bragging together and eating some low-quality snacks that taste like cement are enough for them to praise how beautiful the world is, and the children are even more happy. They hold the low-quality desserts in their hands and roll around on the dirty steel streets, getting covered in them.
They were dirty, but no adult came out to scold them, which was enough to make them cheer.
In any world, children are much closer to happiness than adults.
The artificial light source in the sky has dimmed, leaving only a vague orange-red ring, just like an annular solar eclipse. That is the nuclear fusion sun using the waste heat and light radiation of the reactor to provide night lighting for the ground. We have returned to Glick's
I walked into the hut and found that there was a warm orange light in the hut, and the two children had already returned home.
They are indeed different from ordinary children. My sister Shuizhu is too quiet. After finishing playing games with her peers early, she goes home and sits in a daze. Glick is thinking about the broken parts he collected: named "
Dudu's autonomous machine stayed at home to repair those things, and Glick couldn't wait to come back to see what his baby looked like.
Well, the answer was very surprising to Glick. When we came back, the highly efficient self-disciplined machine was calmly wiping the front-end armor of a brand-new individual fighter. Of course, such a big thing is not
It may have been placed in the house, so "Dudu" also demolished a wall of Glick's house so that the fighter's head could stick in from the outside, but Glick himself seemed to have no regard for the demolition of his house.
care……
I firmly believe that the reason why the autonomous machine did not assemble an Optimus Prime was simply because it did not dare to dismantle the Zhen half.
Of course, I'm still curious about what materials it uses to assemble such a big thing. Anyway, I don't believe that the parts that Glick stacked in the room and behind the house are just enough to assemble a fighter jet. Even if those things are all turned into water, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
A set of fighter attachment plates was cast. In response to our question, "Dudu" pointed to the metal sorting station not far from the town with his robotic arm, so everyone knew the source of the material for this thing.
Facts have proved that it will take a long time for this autonomous machine that still maintains the imperial factory mentality to understand the world.
Of course, a child like Glick cannot be allowed to mess around with something that is extremely dangerous for civilians such as a single-soldier fighter plane, but everyone is really unwilling to disappoint this cute child, so Shandora has no choice but to leave it alone.
Rick dismantled the fire start module of the aircraft without knowing it, but even so, I still felt that it was not safe. In this remote place, a clear Imperial fighter jet was as conspicuous as the jingle on a bald man's head.
, I think it is not fun for a child to use such a thing as a toy.
"It doesn't matter!" Glick became anxious when he heard what I said. He yelled very loudly and waved his hands vigorously, "I will protect this! And no one dares to rob other people's supplies. This is stipulated by the church.
Resource quotas are a serious crime..."
Lin Xue glanced at the other party: "The question is, can you drive this thing? Among other things, do you know how to get into the cockpit? Do you know how to replenish energy for it? Do you know how often its brake pads should be oiled?
?" Qianqian simply pulled my arm: "Arjun, do the brake pads of fighter jets need oil?" Lou had a dark look on his face: "Do fighter jets have brake pads?" Glick lowered his face in frustration.
First of all, all the questions Lin Xue mentioned sounded like scripture to him.
"Well, maybe." I glanced at Glick, and then thought that he was an orphan now. It was not easy for such a small child to have his own sister to depend on each other. Naturally, I had some thoughts in my mind, so I started talking.
Turn to "Maybe it's okay to leave this for you. Ahem, don't rush to scream. I'm just saying it's possible. You'll know in two days."
I think it's very simple. Brother and sister Glick and Shuizhu are destined for everyone. If the spaceship that old Grick was riding hadn't crashed on Mars, we wouldn't have found this world that grew up in the tomb. And here we are.
Here, the first person we met happened to be the son of one of the members of the spaceship. Maybe there was a definite destiny.
Under this situation, I feel that I may not be able to throw away my hands and leave. Let’s not talk about how to deal with the world. At least Glick and Shuizhu, the brother and sister, should make arrangements by themselves.
Even if he is treated as an orphan of a fallen soldier, even though Old Glick is just a plumber, a plumber who still yearns for a new world in such a closed world is enough to be called a warrior. This is the consensus of Shandora and I.
Glick seemed very excited. Even though we guys with unknown origins had only known him for half a day, he had already completely regarded this child who had no experience in the world as a friend or even a savior, bringing him out of his boring daily life.
He was a savior, so he began to invite us to have dinner at home very enthusiastically: the hymn party is not a dinner party, and the dinner can only be eaten after the party.
"Because there are guests from the big city, Grandpa Barnard gave us a lot of food. This is something to entertain the guests." Glick asked his sister Shuizhu to prepare the food quickly, and said to us happily, "By the way, Barnard
Grandpa said that guests from big cities cannot live in shanties. He said that he would let you rest in the best house in town..."
"No, we have a place to rest." Bei Xue quickly waved his hand. "You forgot, we have space equipment. Kuyi can carry all the transportation and even accommodation equipment he needs when traveling outside." Regarding space.
Glick, who had limited knowledge of the equipment, was immediately fascinated by it.
Shuizhu brought the things she had been assigned from the food synthesis machine. The silent little girl struggled to put a large metal box on the table. The sound of Sandora grinding her teeth sounded almost at the same time, and
We also curiously went over and took a look. It was not that we had any expectations for food in this world, but we were just slightly curious about what kind of food would be used to entertain guests here.
But after just one glance, everyone let out a sigh of disappointment: what appeared in front of us were dozens of neatly stacked gray-white rectangular blocks, just like the things Shuizhu was chewing on before.
In this place, this compressed organic matter is the only thing that can be eaten?
"What's wrong?" Glick looked at us strangely, then took out a long cube from the box and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it crunchily. "Except for the soft glue for very small children, these grains are the staple food.
"Yeah, isn't it like this in big cities?" Qianqian stuck out her tongue, curiously picked up a piece of food and put it under her nose and smelled it. She found that the thing had no smell at all, then she put it in her mouth and took a bite.
I decisively gave this thing to Sandora.
I also tasted it out of curiosity, and it turned out that Sandora had an extra piece of this unknown food in her hand.
The texture is rough, tasteless, and even has a slightly fishy and salty mechanical taste. It feels like a piece of chalk mixed with rust in the mouth. If this is all the food in the world, Busujima Yuiko takes a bite.
This plaster-like food stuck out its tongue at me playfully, and said through mental connection: "Brother, I think cities infested with zombies are much more beautiful than this world."
It was very obvious that no one in the family could cope with this food, they were just terrible!
Well, Sandora is an undoubted exception in this case. She is a magical girl who can eat several tons of reinforced concrete prefabricated boards with ketchup, not to mention the plaster texture food in her hand. When everyone
When everyone said they couldn't accept this thing, she took on the role of a rice pail again without any hesitation, but another person who could also eat these things without changing her expression was surprising: Lilina, she actually
I also ate a piece of palm-sized "chalk pastry" with a normal expression.
"Are you surprised?" Lilina glanced at us with a hint of "white ash" on her lips, "I've even eaten dirt."
I couldn't help but gently press the other person's little head, and the latter immediately narrowed his eyes in comfort: "Well, it's over, now let's remember the bitterness and think about the sweetness..." The "guest" in front of me didn't like these foods.
Even though Glick was just a kid, he could easily see this, so he suddenly looked very restrained and embarrassed, his face looked ugly, and even his watery eyes looked a little dull.
Lowered his head: "I'm sorry, but we only have this"
At this moment, I really felt guilty. I believe everyone had this idea, so my sister immediately patted the two children on the shoulders one by one and said apologetically: "Don't be like this, they are ours."
Wrong, but..." "We are guests, and there are many disturbances, so in this case we should bring out the food." Lin Xue is worthy of being a highly intelligent young lady. She was quick to find excuses and just finished her words.
, she took out from her personal space all kinds of snacks brought from the earth that she had been wanting to take out for a long time.!
