Chapter 149: The Upper World

three days later

"This is the transfer company between the two worlds, the express channel to the upper world. Please use your ID card to open the safety door, and do not move around where you are."

On a platform similar to a train station, there is a silver-white suspended train parked, and in front of it is a circular track like a Ferris wheel.

The lower world and the upper world are two planets, and they are attracted to each other, just like the relationship between the earth and the moon.

The only difference is that there are no people on the moon, but the upper world is inhabited and civilization is more developed than the lower world, which is the center of civilization.

"Sir, do you need coffee? We have handmade coffee here, which is definitely an imperial treat!"

Wang Xu and Jasmine sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside through the glass, until they heard a call in their ears.

Looking down, the technological differences between the two worlds are clearly revealed at this moment.

The person standing in front of them was not a human, but a crawler-type service robot pulling a cargo box. It was selling products like a real flight attendant, and even its tone was the same as that of humans.

"I want a cup of coffee!"

After Wang Xu said his request, he turned to look at Jasmine and asked, "What are you drinking?"

"Anything is fine." Jasmine said subconsciously, as if she was suffering from amnesia, her eyes were unfocused.

The robot moved its tracks, tilted its head, glanced at Jasmine, and said, "Sir, your friend doesn't look well. According to the thirteenth rule of robots, as a service robot on the train, I have the right to

Before authorization is obtained, a health scan of the passengers in the vehicle will be performed so that the medical robot can be notified if necessary."

Zizzi!!

Two red lasers shot out from the robot's gaze, scanning Jasmine's body from top to bottom.

Jasmine was startled by the red light, and regained some of her energy in her unfocused eyes.

Seeing that she was about to struggle, Wang Xu patted Jasmine's hand comfortingly and whispered: "Normal physical examination, don't worry."

The robot's scan is very fast, and the red light is swept from top to bottom.

After the scan, the round crawler robot retracted its red light and replied in a low voice: "Madam, your blood sugar is low and your brain is highly active. I initially judge that you are in an extremely excited state. Do you need me to call the medical robot for you?"

"Oh, no, no, I'm fine!" Jasmine hurriedly declined and explained to Wang Xu in a low voice: "I'm fine, it's just that the happiness came so suddenly. When I thought that I was about to go to the upper world, I found it unbelievable.

It’s like everything in front of you is just a dream.”

"It's not a dream. I promised your uncle to bring you up. I am a person who keeps my promises." Wang Xu smiled nonchalantly and said to the robot: "A cup of coffee and a cup of juice."

"Thank you for your patronage, eighty-three yuan!" There is a sensing area on the robot's chest, and the symbol for paying 83 flashes on it.

Wang Xu took out a red card from his jacket pocket and swiped it in the sensing area.

Instantly, the green light lit up on the sensing area, and Wang Xu's profile picture flashed in the video window on the robot's belly, with the words "verified" flashing on it.

"Didi, identity confirmed, 83 yuan has been deducted."

After the robot deducted the fee, two silver metal tubes protruded from the cargo box it pulled, and began to pour drinks into Wang Xu's cups.

Wang Xu sniffed his nose gently. The strong aroma of coffee could not be blocked. The smell made his mouth dry.

I picked it up and took a sip. It was slightly hot, but the taste was unprecedentedly good, far better than any other coffee Wang Xu had ever drunk.

"It's really good. It's hard to imagine that you can drink such coffee on the train!" Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What kind of coffee is this?"

"This is the mellow-flavored coffee produced by Fair Company. The taste buds are stimulated by different taste substances, and the information is transmitted from the taste nerve to the taste center of the brain. People have a sense of taste and can distinguish the taste of food. Made by Fair Company using modern technology

The coffee produced can satisfy people's taste to the greatest extent. If you are in need, it is recommended that you purchase the Food God 2200 model cooking robot produced by Fair Company. There is a 40% discount for purchasing now!"

Wang Xu was still listening carefully at first, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong. It seemed like an advertisement.

Looking at the service robot that was seriously advertising, Wang Xu took another sip of coffee and asked: "How much advertising fee did Fair Company give you?"

"Sorry sir, your question is a commercial secret and I have no right to give any answer." The robot left under Wang Xu's disgusted eyes and soon went back to fooling others.

Wang Xu shook his head slightly, looked at Jasmine who was drinking juice, and whispered: "To the upper world, we are just country bumpkins who come to the city, and they will definitely try their best to defraud us of our money. These people's tricks are too deep.

Even the words of the robot cannot be trusted, we have to be careful."

Jasmine opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing, just nodded silently.

Wang Xu saw her look, put down the coffee in his hand, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Consumption here is too expensive. My mother works in a factory and only earns 32 yuan a month, which is not enough to drink a glass of juice here. I think if she knew, she would be very distressed. I can't believe this is true.

." Jasmine held the straw in her mouth and whispered dreamily: "I also feel like I am in a dream, as if the entire worldview has collapsed."

Wang Xu felt the same way about Jasmine's statement.

This was not the case in China in the 1960s and 1970s. Workers worked hard for a year, let alone developed countries in Europe and the United States. Even in Hong Kong Island across the river, it was only a day's salary for others.

The gap between the lower world and the upper world is even greater, just like China in the 1960s and 1970s, directly compared to modern China.

The former's monthly salary is tens of dollars, while the latter's monthly salary is tens of thousands. If the two worlds are connected like the reverse world, this kind of salary comparison that is hundreds of times and thousands of times will make countless people doubt life.

.

"The lower world is the prison, and the upper world is the world of flowers. There is currently no comparison between the two, and it will be difficult to say in the future." Wang Xu raised his coffee, touched it lightly with Jasmine's juice, and said, "Cheers!"

Listening to soothing music and drinking crazy coffee, the transfer train finally started slowly.

The upper world and the lower world are parallel, which also means that this train will cross the starry sky to the planet on the other side.

Wang Xu initially thought it would be as exciting as a roller coaster, but it turned out that he was wrong, and very wrong.

The full name of this transfer train that spans two planets is the anti-gravity transfer suspension train.

It has an orbit, but no matter how it changes orbit, gravity is always within a controllable range.

If you sit on it and don't look out, you won't even notice it moving. Even people who get motion sickness won't get dizzy sitting on it because it always maintains its own angle and center of gravity.

Looking out from the car, you can see the vast universe.

You will find that you are so close to the universe, as if you can travel into the universe just by breaking the glass on the train.

However, this idea could never be realized.

The glass here is super strengthened glass, even if a meteorite hits it, it will be fine. From here you can see how advanced the technology in the upper world is.
