Chapter 995 Space Channel
Xu Huo stopped and handed her five hundred white bills, "Please buy me a pack of cigarettes."
"Water potion?" The woman has dealt with players from outside the area a lot and confirmed that the "smoke" he mentioned is an item similar to stimulant in other areas. There is no tobacco cultivation in area 002. People usually smoke synthetic drugs.
Seeing the woman walking towards the shop not far away, Xu Huo got on the next bus to the city center.
Twenty minutes later, he stood in the largest and most lively central square in Xiaoyang City. As soon as he got off the bus, many locals came to promote local specialty projects or local specialties. He was enthusiastic as if he had entered a sales building during the economic downturn. Everyone was scrambling to tell the benefits of their own products.
Bypassing the crowd in the square, he walked into the commercial building in the city center.
The first thing you see when you get started is a live broadcast screen, which records the voting situation in the capital Snow City in real time, and the scene of citizens in Snow City celebrating the parade spontaneously.
"Do you want to experience the sun?" A staff member saw Xu Huo holding the flyer from the Sun Pavilion and greeted him with a smile. "We have a thirty seconds, three minutes, and eight minutes of experience packages specially tailored for players in the outside area. If you want to live in District 002 for a long time, you can apply for a sun tax registration, which is universal throughout the area, so that you can enjoy the same service in any large city and bask in the sun for a fixed time every day to avoid being in the dark for a long time to bring you an uncomfortable experience."
"Is it the real sun?" Xu Huo asked.
"Of course it''s the real sun." The staff smiled unchanged. "This is a special service in our 002 area. Our instruments will be connected to other partitions. Through advanced technology, the sunlight is projected to a fixed place. Don''t you think seeing the sunlight in a permanent night environment is a unique experience?"
Xu Huo looked at the price of the package. Compared with the fixed monthly fees paid by locals, the package price is extremely expensive.
The staff explained: "Each starts up the instrument is not small, so the single-person experience package charges a little more expensive."
Xu Huo spent 50,000 yuan to buy a thirty-second package.
The staff took him into a pure white room, where there was only a half-lying chair in the room. After lying down, the circular instrument directly above the chair began to rotate.
"The sunlight passage is about to be opened. Please protect your eyes and the countdown will begin below."
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”
As the countdown ended, the metal plate in the middle of the instrument opened in the shape of a petal, and the golden sunlight suddenly poured down, like a wellhead leading to the sky, and you could just see the sun hanging high above.
It is indeed the real sun.
When the machine was turned on, Xu Hu felt a strong spatial fluctuation. This was not an ore or other thing that could emit solar energy, but a channel was directly opened from Area 002 to other partitions, and the direct sunlight was realized through this space channel.
This gives people an indescribable sense of absurdity. Xiaoyang City can use advanced technology instruments to create a space channel, but District 002, which is also in the same district, is so backward that even electronic products cannot be used as they wish.
As soon as the thirty seconds arrived, the instrument was closed on time, and the staff opened the door and asked Xu Huo to go out.
"Can people pass?" Xu Huo asked.
The staff laughed out loud, "Half a year ago, there was a player in the outside area who probably wanted to know if he could pass, but he didn''t ask, but went in directly. When we entered, only a small amount of blood was splashed on the chair, and the player didn''t even have a piece of fingernail left." "After all, it''s just a space channel for sunbathing, so where is it necessary to accommodate objects passing through."
"Welcome to come again."
After Xu Huo went out, he bought a communication device and connected to the public platform in District 002 to learn about Sunshine Tax.
The sunshine tax was levied thirty years ago, which means that the 002 area and other space connection channels have been at least thirty years. It is impossible for these thirty years to have no technological improvements. Therefore, this "sunshine tax" may be an additional item to other projects. At least the beginning of opening up the space channel is definitely not for the sun.
The partitions he experienced, including the more developed 011 area, did not have mature space channel technology. The 011 area companies had to ship out to pick up weapons, and the Knights of the Blazing Sound could not directly reach 011 area, let alone express large weapons easily.
011 There is a game base government, so it is not just that the technology is not in place, but that the game system has restricted the free communication of partitions.
Return tickets allow players to return directly from one partition to their origin. This is actually a time travel through the space channel. There will be special projects for sunbathing in District 002. Either the game government has opened permissions for it, or the 002 area is different from other partitions and is a region closely connected with the game government.
"...Brother Xuan is planning to go back to Snow City?" Several young people who walked out of the mall were talking. One of the girls with small braids asked the boy beside him, "There is nothing fun in Xiaoyang City, it is definitely not as good as Snow City. I really want to go to Snow City to see."
"What''s so good about it? It''s like that all year round, it''s not as fun as a small place." The boy, who is called Brother Xuan, unconsciously showed his arrogant expression. "I heard that there are new things in the Xiaoyang market, so you can take me to see it."
The little braided girl looked at each other and the three of them persuaded each other: "Those places are not clean, my parents never let me go."
"If you want to say it is fresh, it''s not as good as Snow City. Even if you want to buy a servant, you won''t have a good quality."
"My mother said that people who trade there all have infectious diseases, and those who have never had illness since childhood are the most likely to be infected."
Brother Xuan stopped suddenly and looked at the few people and said, "You don''t dare, right?"
The young man with no good quality buzz cut immediately said, "What''s the matter? Brother Xuan wants to go, of course I will accompany you!"
The little braided girl also said, "What are you afraid of if you have an infectious disease? Let''s wear protective clothing and prepare antidotes."
The remaining one with glasses can only obey the majority, "Let''s say it to your parents."
He took out the communication device as he said that, but the young man with a buzz cut and the girl with a braid held him one arm to stop him. "Tell them what else to do. Brother Xuan came here to have some fun. It''s better to stay in Snow City than to be locked up in our house. Brother Xuan, don''t you?"
Brother Xuan nodded and lowered his voice a little, "I came out with props on him, there will be no problem."
Seeing that he was confident in his words, the other three were also excited and pulled me forward. Unexpectedly, they ran into a woman holding a child. Several people said sorry and then took the car away.
