Qu Jianlei was stuck on the third level of Qi Refining, but his understanding of Tai Chi was improving by leaps and bounds.
In his spare time, he has gradually begun to try Tai Chi.
Things related to spiritual practice cannot be rushed. He once advised Xiao Jing, and he would definitely pay attention to it.
Xiao Jing saw the graceful posture of Tai Chi and wanted to learn it again.
Qu Jianlei felt that this child was also discerning and had never mentioned to him that he wanted to learn to meditate.
Is it Xiao Jing who doesn’t understand? Qu Jianlei really doesn’t think so.
Anyone with eyes can notice that he consumes the most calories while meditating.
What does it mean that a person can consume the most calories by sitting there quietly cross-legged?
Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that where the investment cost is high, the return will be high.
To put it simply, his ability most likely comes from meditation.
Moreover, those mutant beast crystals, which are much more valuable than gold, are also used during meditation.
Is Xiao Jing stupid? It's impossible. He doesn't want to learn to meditate just because he knows very well that the water here is too deep.
If you don’t have that ability, don’t worry about that matter! Xiao Jing’s wandering history proves that he has a perfect grasp of this measure.
But Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry to teach Xiao Jing Tai Chi.
The first point is that he doesn’t even understand it himself, so how can he teach others?
Secondly, he felt that he needed to remind the other party.
"In addition to practicing and tidying up the room, you also have external security tasks. When the weather gets cold, won't the drones come?"
Even Blue Star's drones are emphasizing all-weather operations.
The living conditions in the wasteland are harsh, but before the end of the world, the level of technology is definitely inferior to that of Blue Star.
Therefore, he believes that even the severe cold of minus 60 degrees cannot stop drone patrols.
If there are real people patrolling, it is possible that they will stop.
Anyway, he had been struggling to survive in the winter of the previous six years. He really didn't know what the garbage dump was like.
Xiao Jing glanced at him after hearing this, his eyes were very strange, "Brother Heitian, I know this is your first time coming to the garbage dump..."
"But you shouldn't be unclear about the situation in the garbage dump, right?"
"Should I know better?" Qu Jianlei frowned and touched his chin.
Then he answered very definitely, "I really don't know... can you tell me?"
"No way," Xiao Jing looked at him in shock, "You are also from a settlement."
"I really didn't come from a settlement," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation.
"If something I do makes you think that I am from a settlement, wouldn't it be okay if you pointed it out directly and asked me to change...?"
"It's impossible," Xiao Jing said without hesitation, "With the knowledge and skills you have, it's impossible to be a savage."
Whether it's "Wu Qin Xi" or "Ba Duan Jin", or even Zhanzhuang, it's something that ordinary survivors can't master.
It can also be seen from the living habits.
Which survivor would take bathing so seriously? Who would care about the health benefits of eating vegetables? He clearly comes from a wealthy family.
Qu Jianlei smiled when he heard this and didn't even bother to argue, "Let's talk about the garbage dump."
Xiao Jing thought for a moment and then replied, "The amount of garbage in the garbage dump has been increasing, you know?"
"I know," Qu Jianlei nodded, thinking that the amount of garbage in the garbage dump would naturally increase.
What has been decreasing is the garbage treatment plant!
Xiao Jing looked at him with interest, "Do you know where those garbage come from?"
"I don't know," Qu Jianlei answered simply. I had been struggling to survive, so how could I bother to ponder these questions?
Xiao Jing did not care about his feelings, but showed off his knowledge.
"After every winter break, the amount of garbage increases. Do you know why?"
"I don't know," Qu Jianlei said a little impatiently, "I'm not familiar with the garbage dump."
"Because someone throws garbage in the winter," Xiao Jing said mysteriously, as if "I know everything."
"If you don't have anything to say, I'll go to sleep," Qu Jianlei said, completely fed up.
He actually wanted to understand the reason, but the other party's actions aroused his rebellious psychology.
I just chose the "most dangerous place" to rest for the winter just to be safe.
I will never have anything to do with this place again!
Seeing that he was a little annoyed, Xiao Jing took the initiative to tell the truth, "Because the garbage is transported from outside."
"Outside?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "Which outside?"
The impact of this news on him was really too big.
He really didn't consider the source of the garbage, he just thought that after the end of the world, the wasteland's transportation capacity would be limited.
A lot of garbage is harmful, so it needs to be unified, but there is a delay in transportation.
As for the fact that there are many useful things in the garbage dump, this is not surprising.
Even on Blue Star, there are many people who make a living by picking up garbage, and some even make a fortune doing it.
Qu Jianlei had not considered many other things.
Every day when I open my eyes, all I think about is where to get something to eat.
Under the huge pressure of survival, how could he have the leisure to think about those unimportant things?
Xiao Jing shook his head when he heard this and replied regretfully, "I don't know, I just listened to what the adults said casually."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and then asked, "What are your personal guesses about this news?"
Xiao Jing thought about it and shook his head blankly, "That's really not true. I'm still a child."
I'm a child too! Qu Jianlei was a little speechless. Not counting Blue Star's experience, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old in this body.
Then he asked, "Do you have any other news about the garbage dump?"
Xiao Jing thought carefully and answered, "It is said that there is not much useful garbage in this garbage dump..."
"Garbage with high added value seems to be transported to other places."
This answer aroused Qu Jianlei's attention, "Is there still a preliminary screening for this garbage?"
Xiao Jing continued to shake his head blankly, he was too young.
Qu Jianlei thought of another question that had puzzled him for a long time, "The settlement... why is it named with the word 'Hong'?"
"Are there other settlements with other prefixes?"
Xiao Jing continued to shake his head, "I don't know about this, but... the Hongzi settlement is already very big, right?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "You really don't know what big means."
The conversation came to an end, and Qu Jianlei picked up a book to read.
The books sold to the outside world in the settlement are mainly stories and novels, with very few popular science contents.
At most, it only covers the identification of animals and plants, as well as knowledge on the use and maintenance of firearms. It is difficult to even find travel notes.
There are some books on psychological research and some inspirational books.
But even in inspirational books, many people’s real names are hidden.
In the words of the editor, it is to respect personal privacy. After all, the wasteland is not peaceful.
But in Qu Jianlei's view, this proved his suspicion, "There is indeed an information monopoly."
He didn't believe it. Many machine maintenance skills were not written down. Is this normal?
There is a lot of waste land waiting to be regenerated. If knowledge can be spread, among other things, the efficiency of garbage recycling and reuse will be greatly improved.
Therefore, information monopoly must exist, and the survivors in the wild are the lowest level of the wasteland.
This is unfair! Qu Jianlei was quite indignant about this.
Coming from Blue Star, he values fairness very much and is even stubborn to the point of being perverted.
But then, he changed his mind and thought again: But is this... important to me?
I am a person who wants to practice. Once I am successful in practice, I can break through even if there is a ceiling!
So...if it's not fair, it's not fair. There's no need to care about it at the moment.
Considering that he has the experience of traveling through time, it is an even more serious injustice to the local indigenous people!
After figuring this out, he felt much better and began to modify the air heat exchange system...
This winter was the most comfortable one since he came to the wasteland, but there was still a lot of work to do, and his life was very fulfilling.
After another six days, the faintest crystal was absorbed, and Qu Jianlei also sorted out Tai Chi information.
This time the consumption is not small, but the harvest is also great. In addition to Tai Chi, there are also Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Thirteen Swords.
Tai Chi itself involves the operation of internal energy, but after he tried it, he felt that it was not as effective as the "Unknown Qi Refining Technique".
As for the Tai Chi Sword, he has no intention of practicing it for the time being, and there is no such weapon as a sword in the wasteland.
In fact, he has a special liking for knife skills, not just because he has several long knives at hand.
Knife skills are different from sword skills in that they do not emphasize lightness and elegance, but emphasize roughness and wildness.
This is more in line with his character. As for the sword, he is a bit of a gentleman.
Then he started practicing Tai Chi and Tai Chi Knife.
The room is relatively small, so it is impossible to practice with a real sword, but even if you take a short stick, you still can't use it.
Qu Jianlei had to make a new suggestion: expand the room and move some garbage out.
It's been more than a month since winter started, and it's cold outside.
However, they had been staying indoors and felt a little suffocated. Xiao Jing even said, "You can also add some water."
Originally, the water reserve was not large, but they both love to be clean and exercise every day, so it would be uncomfortable not to take a shower.
Especially Qu Jianlei, when he practiced Qigong, he excreted so many impurities from his body that he felt almost endless.
He very much doubted that this body had ingested too many dirty things after being in the wasteland for so many years.
If you take more baths, the water will evaporate more, and the water reserve has now been reduced by almost one-fifth.
Xiao Jing feels that life is very comfortable now and it is necessary to ensure freedom of water.
Qu Jianlei supported this kind of subjective initiative and even gave him an overfrequency oscillating knife to cut ice cubes.
In such a cold weather, the ice layer is supposed to be very thick, but the water is so filthy that it is not difficult to get ice.
Xiao Jing chose to go get water at night. Unexpectedly, on the third day, he actually dragged someone back.
"Brother Krishna, this man is almost dead. Can he be saved?"
