Scientific Travel

In 3261, rapid technological progress left behind many environmental problems.

What started as a simple rainstorm turned into a natural disaster that would occur every few months.

Even the best kung fu master is no match for a kitchen knife.

Technology, which once seemed omnipotent, is like a child in the face of natural disasters.

Humanity was forced to move to another planet.

Every planet has its own drawbacks; some are too cold, some too hot, some too dry, and some too humid. Creating a planet suitable for human habitation would inevitably require another technological revolution.

Revolutions always involve sacrifices, and by the year 4320, 19 planets had already been sacrificed.

The 11th planetary ruler considered extending the planet's lifespan by slowing down technological development, which was indeed effective; the planet's lifespan was extended, but human lifespan was shortened.

If we don't accelerate the development of science and technology, humanity will not be able to survive on the new planet.

The question is whether the planet dies or humanity dies.

Fortunately, those who have survived to this day have adapted to frequent moves and successfully solved the problem.

"Ugh."

This was the eighth time Deng Yin had sighed after checking the balance in his account.

"At this rate, what's the point of stockpiling goods? True warriors face natural disasters head-on!"

No matter how strong your words are, you still have to stockpile goods.

Through long-term efforts to combat natural disasters, humanity has developed a precise method of prediction.

Each person has a chip inserted into the back of their head. The chip is equivalent to an ID card and can also be used as a bank card.

However, its greatest use is in predicting natural disasters.

There weren't many people in the supermarket. Although the rain has subsided a lot now, most people still choose to go out during the period when the natural disaster stops.

There was nothing Deng could do; he was in dire straits.

The supermarket's current stock consists of items left over from before this natural disaster, and all goods are 50% off.

Every natural disaster has its own special package, which includes not only essential food but also items specifically designed to ward off that type of disaster.

For example, this natural disaster is torrential rain. In addition to food, the package also includes a rain wall that can isolate liquids with a radius of one meter centered on the user and a tree lake that can collect 20 tons of rain.

Pay an extra 20 Planet Coins to receive a filtration device for Tree Lake, which can turn undrinkable liquids into pure water.

Deng Yin certainly couldn't miss out on something so good value for money. Her favorite natural disaster was rain, which happened once a year and saved her money on water.

The supermarket is very large, with individual cubicles containing tables, chairs, and tablets. You select the items you want on the tablet, pay, and the items are delivered to your cubicle.

It's perfect for people with social anxiety.

There weren't many options, so Deng Yin mostly bought food. The supermarket's storage system was excellent; things put in within three months would come out in the same condition.

This rainstorm lasted for three months and one week.

The goods will definitely be cheaper, so if you don't buy now, when will you?

Deng Yin's storage tool is a jade bracelet, which was passed down from her mother's mother's mother's mother. It has an old-fashioned design and only 100 square meters of storage space.

The smallest storage unit currently available is 300 square meters.

Back then, her family was very wealthy. This jade bracelet was the largest storage tool available at the time, and things placed inside could not rot no matter how long they were stored.

Moze Star was destroyed too suddenly. Before that, only a small number of the research staff had moved to Heze Star. When they realized something was wrong, the entire fleet set off together. Only the rich and powerful and children were allowed to board the ships.

Technological advancements have regressed rapidly. If it weren't for the fact that Heze Star was so suitable for human habitation, humanity might have become extinct.

Deng Yin sat in a chair, drinking water while looking at his tablet.

The water was a free gift from the supermarket; it's free, so why not drink it?

The rainstorm lasted too long, and there were not many goods left. The next disaster was still unpredictable, so Deng Yin bought mostly food.

Turn to the last page of the product introduction page, and you'll find a product with a question mark, valued at 20 Planet Coins.

The question mark product is a product whose value far exceeds its price. It is limited in quantity and can only be purchased by a lucky few.

Without hesitation, Deng Yin pressed the buy button. There were three items left, and she bought them all.

Fearing that others might also buy it, Deng Yin quickly paid the money, knowing that once the money was paid, the goods could only be hers.

When Deng Yin saw the words "purchase successful," his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Not daring to linger, I immediately stored the goods in the jade bracelet and left as soon as they were delivered.

Although there are laws on the planet, robbery happens frequently, and there aren't enough people to uphold them.

Only when he got home did Deng Yin dare to laugh.

Laughter filled the small, ten-square-meter room, which was well-insulated and none of it escaped.

Deng Yin took out the product marked with a question mark, saying, "Let me see what this product with a question mark is."

"No!!!! My 20 Planet Coins!"

When Deng Yin saw the pile of seeds in the bag, he felt like the sky had fallen.

These seeds are indeed worth far more than 20 planetary coins, but there's simply nowhere to plant them!

"It's okay, I have two more." Deng Yin reassured himself as he opened the second bag. "This bag is so heavy, there must be something good inside!"

"hehe."

Deng has been cheated on.

His face turned green.

The bag contained gold bars, which I estimate to weigh around 40 to 50 pounds.

Gold bars used to be able to be used as money, but now all of them together wouldn't even buy two cans of food.

Looking at the bag full of gold bars, Deng Yin grew angrier and angrier. "Wait, isn't it said that the value of a question mark product is much higher than its actual value? Why are the ones I opened not even worth a planetary coin?"

First, put the gold bars away, then take out the last bag.

There's no way around it, the space is too small, it can only fit one bag.

"It's okay, I have another one." Deng Yin first mentally prepared himself before slowly opening the bag. "As long as there's something good in this bag, I can easily break even."

Okay.

The last bag contained a rain wall, three tree lakes, and a filter for the three tree lakes.

A rain wall plus a tree lake is worth 300 planet coins, and a filter device costs 20.

The filtration device was useless to Deng Yin. She had three tree lakes and one filtration device, and she would install the filtration device on whichever tree lake she needed.

The main focus is on saving money.

Now that the rainstorm is over, I'll sell these three filter devices at a lower price once the rain stops.

It can sell for at least 50, which is equivalent to spending 10 planetary coins to buy a Rain Wall and three Tree Lakes.

Not a loss!

Her tree lake was already full, so she decided to fill it with as much as possible while the rain was still pouring.

After finishing all that, Deng Yin's stomach rumbled.

She hasn't eaten for 12 hours, and her food reserves aren't enough to last her this long. She's been saving every penny she has.

I bought a lot of food today; it should last me another four months without any problem.

The price was that the balance in the account was wiped out.

Deng Yin's mother was a scientist, and under her guidance, Deng Yin also became a scientist.

To clarify, not all scientists are this poor.

Only Deng Yin.

Her poverty is inextricably linked to her personality; she offended her boss and was fired, and now she can only do remote control-related jobs.

There are many such jobs, but everyone prefers to find someone authoritative. Deng Yin's clients are all old clients and new clients brought in by old clients.

It's okay to eat your fill, but it's not okay to eat well.

The food shortage was due to the limited space; there simply wasn't enough room for all the food.

In a 100-square-meter space, less than 50 square meters can be used to store food. Before each trip to buy food, some of the items in the space must be removed, otherwise there will not be enough room for the food.

After finishing the meal, I started tidying up. First, I moved some of the canned food to the bed, then I put the other things back in the original space, and finally I stacked the cans on the floor. This saved space and also gave me a cabinet.

If she hadn't found a mattress, she would have even planned to make a bed out of canned food.

After finishing his work, it was already midnight. Deng Yin was so sleepy that he fell asleep on his desk.

"Ding, host binding successful."
