fleet citizen

Yuan Yu felt that maybe sometimes what Sergey said was right, she was just a little nosy, and it was true that Sergey had been taking care of her since that person left.But in any case, she didn't think it would be a bad thing to try to get Mint into the fleet.

And for a planetary person to try to join the fleet, he first needs to let him understand the fleet.

The biggest difference between life on a fleet space station and that of a pedestal class on a planet is mobility.Since the pedestal class usually has work that takes up a lot of time every day and the location is very fixed, it generally does not carry out large-scale activities.For most of the base class, the range of activities during their working days is at most the places that can be reached within an hour of taking the planetary orbit, at most they go from one city to another.

On the other hand, in the fleet, almost no one is engaged in repetitive work or simple service industry, and people's working places are relatively unstable, and they will go to other places to participate in various entertainment activities during their rest time, so the daily activities of fleet citizens are also relatively large. larger.For people like Yuan Yu and Sergey who live on the circular space station, the distance traveled by taking the space station subway or "sky train" - which passes through the inner layer of the space station without double gravity - can reach even It can go around an ordinary colonial planet, and many people often drive or take a curvature spaceship, so the range of activities can cover almost all the areas that humans, Yisi and Geer have ever visited.

This is the case on working days, and more active on rest days.The day after Yuan Yu returned to the fleet with mint, it happened to be Saturday, which was one of the statutory weekends of the fleet, and every Saturday morning, the C5 area of ​​Fancheng held a dance in the central square.

The total population of Fleet Citizens is relatively small (about 70 billion people in total), and they usually live in scattered places. A space station usually only has a few hundred to 1000 million people, which is only equivalent to a medium and large city in the parent star era. After the division, the number will be even greater. Generally, there are no more than 50 people in each general district, and only 5 to [-] people are actually assigned to the district level.And not everyone will go to such a dance every time, and the average number of people participating in each dance is only about three or four thousand.

Yuan Yu has not been to the dance party in C5 area for a long time.Her working hours are too irregular, and she is often not in Sail City on Saturday mornings.And Sergey was not much interested in dancing.

The significance of holding a dance party is to promote the communication and emotional construction of people in this area, which is equivalent to giving everyone a chance to get to know each other and make a date |Those whose sex|partnership is not fixed can change boyfriends and girlfriends frequently through proms.And someone like Sergey, who is not used to having sex with strangers within a few hours of knowing each other, naturally doesn't have much motivation to attend the dance.

Of course, not all the people who attend the dance party are there for dating.There are also people who have a fixed relationship with boyfriend and girlfriend, and go to the prom with their boyfriend or girlfriend. There is an unwritten rule in the dance in C5 area, if you want to make a date at the dance, you need to wear a red poppy.For those who don't wear red poppies, you can't just make an appointment after dancing with them.And if you are going to a dance party but don't want to dance with strangers, you can wear a lily so that people you don't know won't invite them at will.

Yuan Yu wanted to take Mint to a dance in C5 area, but Mint heard that someone would ask someone to sleep at the dance, so she was so frightened that she insisted on wearing Lily.And his original mermaid skirt was too cold for the current weather in C5 area, so Yuan Yu bought him a European-style classic purple-pink long skirt with panniers, plus a faux fur cape with strong heat retention.The fleet completely prohibits vertebrate breeding. However, through animal cell culture technology, it is possible to produce artificial fur with the same quality as real animal fur, and it can also be made finer and warmer than real animal fur.

As for Yuan Yu and Sergey, they were still wearing the coats with artificial fur around them.They didn't go there for dating | sex, they just participated in group activities and had fun together, and there was no need to overdress.

And when they got out of the house, they saw a lot of prom-dressed people walking to the subway station along the road.Because of the cold weather, people wear heavy clothes.Mint found that although he was going to the ball, these people were not as exaggeratedly dressed as he imagined, like the noble ladies of the top class, but just dressed more elegantly than usual, but it was not exaggerated or even called What a gorgeous costume.The attire, at least in Mint's eyes, is no different from the attire of their base class for important public events.

After taking the subway, we arrived at Central Plaza Station soon.When you come out of the station, you can see a tall monument erected on the east side of the huge square, and there are many people dressed in prom gathered under the monument.

Yuan Yu, Sergey, and Mint also walked over. The snow on the road was swept to the sides, and several girls in uniform light green woolen skirts were taking pictures beside the snowdrifts.

Mint walked forward holding Yuan Yu's arm, while curiously looking at the people around who came to the dance.He knew that the general social dances were divided into men's steps and women's steps, which was a tradition handed down in the parent planet era when there were no distinctions between races A and B.He also participated in the school prom in Zhuyu before, and Zhuyu's prom requires different costumes for men's steps and women's steps.Generally, the girls from the A family and the boys from the B family have to dance the men's step at the ball, while the boys from the A group and the girls from the B group have to dance the women's step, and they have to wear skirts for the women's step.

Yet the Fleet Ball doesn't seem to be asking for that much.Mint was a little surprised to see a very tall girl—maybe more than two meters—wearing a red silk cheongsam. She thought that if she wanted to dance the female step, it might be difficult to find someone else to match her. let's go.

In addition, since the fleet does not distinguish between A and B races, and there are no inherent gender-based concepts, the extraordinarily free clothing of fleet citizens sometimes makes Mint feel uncomfortable.If petite women and men who don't seem to have DA or DB genes can be said to be neutral and indifferent in suits and tunics, then those who are tall are better than A girls on colonial planets And the guys from the B family, but some are wearing colorful skirts, which is a bit unacceptable to Mint.

He quietly asked Yuan Yu beside him: "They...why are they all wearing skirts? Is this a custom?"

"No." Yuan Yu looked at the tall man in the black and white minimalist style skirt he was referring to, and said with a normal expression, "It's my personal preference. That skirt is not suitable for dancing. But, I have a good figure."

Mint felt a little tingling, and asked quietly again: "Then...then did you wear a skirt?"

Yuan Yu replied as a matter of course: "Of course I passed through."
