Sun Repair Guide

Chapter 55 Giant Wolf Valley

Ji Dong entered a bar.

There are very few people in this small town, which is abnormally small.Most shops are closed.

This bar is the only place open.There are still some voices in the bar, and most of the people drinking are this elderly man.

From their mouths, Ji Dong learned that the people in the small town had fled inland to seek refuge.

Although Mosa's army did not kill innocent people indiscriminately when they arrived, the hype of the coalition government has demonized Mosa people.It can be seen from the word "water ghost" in the mouth of the old fishermen.

While drifting at sea, Ji Dong entered the hall on the first floor of Yuewei through the chip system, where someone exhibited the photos and videos he took during the Battle of the Yangtze River, of course, for a fee.The exhibitor never showed up the next day, and the coalition government banned the dissemination of all audiovisual materials about the Battle of the Yangtze River.

Ji Dong was lucky enough to see that exhibition, but many people were reluctant to spend the two thousand sun coins.So there are not many people watching the exhibition.

One of the photos is the scene of the snow-white "javelin" destroying the mobile fortress.Just looking at the photos, Ji Dong was quite shocked.

More photos are blurry, but the image of Mosaren has already taken shape in Ji Dong's mind: a giant of more than two meters, with bronze skin, and otherwise no different from humans on earth.

"Then why don't you go?" Ji Dong was sitting at the bar, and he asked the gray-haired bar owner, the bar owner has a typical oriental face, with a gray beard and blushing cheeks, he must have drunk a lot drink less.

The owner of the bar said unhurriedly: "It's all old bones, and I can't do the thing of hiding from XZ. Besides, I saw those people when they came out of the sea. It's not as terrible as the government said. They I didn’t take out my heart and eat it. But none of those who escaped believed me. Only a few old buddies like me believed me.”

As he spoke, the bar owner raised his glass and shouted, "Brothers, let's take a sip."

The old men scattered around the bar raised their glasses and gestured to the bar owner.

Ji Dong also picked up the beer on his chest and clinked glasses with the bar owner.

After taking a sip of beer, Ji Dong asked the bar owner again: "Is there a ground-effect aircraft here? I can pay for it."

"Very few people use this anymore," replied the bar owner.Inefficient flying vehicles are the means of transportation that replaced cars when the era of maintenance was just beginning.However, with the development of nuclear powered engines, ground effect aircraft has gradually withdrawn from the historical stage.

Hearing the bar owner's answer, Jidong thought it was a dead end.In order to avoid the captors sent by the Lions of North Africa, Jidong needs ground-effect aircraft, and now the spacecraft are operating in low-earth orbit, because that is more efficient.So there are hardly any means of transportation on land now.

Although the use of ground-effect aircraft cannot completely avoid raids, it can greatly reduce the probability of encounters.

The owner of the bar suddenly changed the subject and said: "You are asking the right person. I happen to have one. It was fished from the bottom of the sea by a fishing boat more than ten years ago. When it was fished up, it was already eroded by sea water. , Fortunately, the core power system is not damaged, after I bought it, it took two years to repair it..."

The bar owner wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Ji Dong.Ji Dong could tell that the bar owner wanted a good price.

So Ji Dong said: "One hundred thousand sun coins."

"What!" The bar owner couldn't believe his ears. He wanted a good price. Now there was no one in the small town, and his bar couldn't keep going. He was worried about what to do with his pension.Unexpectedly, I met Ji Dong who wanted to buy that ground-effect aircraft that no one would like.He bought it for fifty sun coins at the beginning, and the subsequent repairs only cost no more than one hundred sun coins.He originally wanted two thousand, but he imagined that Ji Dong would bargain with him, and the final transaction price was more than one thousand sun coins, and he was very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Ji Dong asked for [-] sun coins.That's the equivalent of ten years' worth of his bar's profits.He also has ample pensions to support his retirement, but the coalition government suddenly raised the repair tax a year ago. (That is, crowdfunding for all the people on the earth to repair the sun)

Ji Dong has no idea about money, and the money almost went into his account by himself.

After transferring the money to the chip account of the bar owner, the bar owner became more enthusiastic towards Ji Dong, talking non-stop, including the "repair tax".

The owner of the bar complained: "The devil knows what they are doing with the money! They just know how to exploit us poor people."

Ji Dong had no formal job before, so he didn't have any worries about paying taxes."Are they also taxed on pensions?" he asked.

The bar owner said indignantly: "Shit pension. I bought pension insurance for decades. In the end, the insurance department of the coalition government said that our pension was embezzled by the coalition government because of the maintenance plan, so we have to wait until 20 We won’t be able to receive our pension until the next year.”

The bar owner's mouth was dry, and he took a sip of wine and continued: "Don't you say this is nonsense? After 20 years, my ashes will not even know that you have left. What is the use of this money!"

Ji Dong didn't know what to say, he only thought in his mind that the coalition government controlled by the Twelve Families is really a bastard!

The bar owner suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Just a year ago, I learned that my pension could not be credited to the account, so I went to Huaxia City (BJ more than 100 years ago, now the headquarters of the coalition government), there have gathered a lot of People, their pensions have been misappropriated by the government. There is a leader from Europe. He said he has evidence to prove that their pensions were not used for maintenance projects. We actually don’t want to cause trouble, we just want an explanation. , if our money was really used to repair and save the sun, we would have no objection. But then a riot suddenly broke out, and the police were dispatched and beat our leader to death. Later, the government explained that he was a rioter The mastermind. But it was obviously the police who took action first. There is no way, after all, we are a group of old people who are about to die, and in the end this matter will be settled."

The owner of the bar continued to whisper: "In fact, we all know that our money has definitely been embezzled. Later I heard that it was some sons of the Twelve Family who used the family to hold a luxury spaceship racing competition in low-Earth orbit. relationship, embezzling this money for myself.”

After listening to the narration of the bar owner, Ji Dong felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.This is the state of the world.

Hopefully the war will change all that.

……

Jidong drove the ground-effect aircraft and left this small seaside town. When he left Juling Peak, Lao Hei told Jidong an address, saying that he could go there to find them in the future.

Ji Dong located the address that Lao Hei gave him in the navigation system of the chip—Siberian Giant Wolf Valley.

It is one of the most important gamma-alloy mining and smelting bases on the planet.
