Chapter 1403 The Whole World Is Hot and Cold (Part 1)
Kadel is working hard. In the factory in Myanmar, she is responsible for spot checks and quality inspections of coffee beans. Kadel was originally a resident of Tuvalu. When she lived in Tuvalu, Tuvalu at that time was facing a situation where the sea was rising and the country was about to be submerged.
At that time, all the citizens of Tuvalu felt a sense of sadness from the bottom of their hearts. Because their lives are so hopeless. Capable people use various methods to smuggle abroad, and no one wants to stay and live with this country. After all, no one wants to die.
But when everyone was most desperate, hope also came. A big boss in South America appeared, and the young man named Roberto (Sunspot) actually wanted to recruit more than 10,000 of his nationals to work abroad! Everyone sang and danced happily all night long.
Kadel was a seventeen-year-old girl back then. At that time, she was helpless and had to support her chronically ill mother. At that time, I was very happy, because I could finally take my mother out of that desperate country. Even after Kadell learned that Tuvalu was actually bought by mutants and established their own country, she didn't have any envy or nostalgia.
Because no matter how prosperous Tuvalu is now, it has nothing to do with me. Those are all thanks to the mutants. If I and others hadn't fled that country at the beginning, the final result would have been to die along with the sea level rise. But now that she can work as a quality inspector in a coffee bean factory, she is actually very satisfied.
Although technology has become more and more advanced in recent years, some things still have to be done manually. For example, screening coffee beans, no matter how many machines check. But in the end, it is up to people to judge, because food is always a very subjective thing, and the taste cannot be screened by machines.
Now Kadell can earn two thousand federal coins every month. The federal currency is a new currency that has only been launched in the last two years, just like the euro in the past. Theoretically, Federation currency can be used anywhere in the Earth Federation, but not all regions (countries) can use it.
Because the premise of using Federation Currency is to first sign the [Earth Federation Currency Approval Treaty]. Many regions (countries) have somewhat special intentions, and not all regions (countries) have signed this treaty.
At present, there are more than one hundred countries that have joined the Earth Federation Currency Treaty, occupying the major economic powers in the world. Countries including China and the United States have signed such a treaty, while South Korea has not signed this treaty for some unknown reason.
At present, the dual currency system is still being implemented on the earth. The so-called dual currency system means that the federal currency is circulated in a country while the previous currency is also circulated. Just like there are still US dollars and renminbi now, but the federal currency is also a legal currency in the country.
In terms of value comparison, the exchange ratio between the Earth Federation currency and the U.S. dollar is about 1:1.5. The income of 2,000 Federal Coins is still very objective for Kadell. She can afford her own living expenses and that of her own mother.
At the end of the day's work, Kadell came out of the factory in Myanmar. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Originally, the sky should be very dark at this time of winter, because the sun was about to sink into the sea. But today she looked far and wide, and could see two suns hanging in the western sky from a distance. One round is sunset, one round is sunrise.
She knew it was an artificial sun rising into the sky. Although she doesn't know how the artificial sun works, every time she sees such a spectacle, she always marvels at the greatness of those scientists. Although she doesn't quite understand why scientists use this artificial sun to create storms and tsunamis.
It is said that because of keeping the earth's ocean currents normal, scientists have divided some coastal areas into special typhoon transit areas. They are moving out the residents of these places, which are often areas with relatively few human habitation and underdeveloped economies.
They use these places as the landing points of tsunamis and typhoons, and use this method to ensure the normal flow of the earth's ocean currents and cold and hot air. And those storms that will cause great damage will be affected by the artificial sun in various ways to affect their formation, and finally make the storm invisible.
Kadel shook her head, this is not her concern. It took her fifteen minutes to get to the Intercity Hyperloop station on a hoverbus. Although she works in a factory in Myanmar, she lives in Xinruili, Yunnan, China. Due to the suitable climate in Myanmar, many areas have been transformed into plantations.
Although Tony Stark's super building plan is a heavy financial burden for Myanmar, their government mortgaged the proceeds of the plantation and started building super buildings in the country. But Cadell doesn't like living with the locals because they are a bit too noisy and unruly.
In comparison, Xinruili City is much better. Xinruili City is actually a complex of three super buildings. It took the hyperloop to get Khadelle back here from Myanmar in just five minutes, not as long as taking the bus and waiting for her.
Back in Xinruili City, Kadel stepped out of the station and waited only 30 seconds for a hover car to stop in front of her. This was a taxi she had reserved before, and the driverless taxi drove smoothly in the super building relying on the big data of traffic flow. Kadel, who works in Myanmar, returned to her home in Xinruli at 6:30 on time.
She rented a two-bedroom house on the thirty-fifth floor of this building, and the monthly rent was five hundred federal dollars, which was probably her biggest monthly expense. Using the iris code to unlock the lock, the electrical appliances in the house had started running three minutes before Cadell entered the room.
The air conditioner has begun to adjust the temperature and air humidity adaptively. It is not cold here in winter, but it is undoubtedly more relaxing to make the home a comfortable twenty-six degrees. In Ruili, I can hardly see the strong light of the artificial sun in Myanmar, but I can still see a star in the western sky, which is much brighter than the moon.
Cadel shook her head, and she took out the fresh food she ordered today from her family's fresh food express box. Although you can also go to the supermarket in the urban area (or in the building) to buy, but you can directly use the APP in the super building with your mobile phone, and then buy the products you need for your house.
From fresh food to daily necessities to home appliances, and all of these are extremely cheap. Today, Kadell bought a catty of flour and a catty of prawns, plus some mussels and vegetables, all of which cost only five federal coins.
Now the price of global food has been lowered again and again, coupled with the Earth Federation’s subsidy for agricultural products, food is now so cheap that it is almost free, and all the expenses paid for the food are actually the packaging, logistics and labor costs that come with the food.
When Cadel was halfway making dinner, her mother also came back from outside. Her mother has a chronic disease, and it was not easy to get medical treatment when she was in Tuvalu, because Tuvalu lacked medical care and medicine. However, the level of medical treatment has improved rapidly in recent years, especially after the Osborne Group and the mutants launched a cooperative project. Many mutant genes have been found to be able to fight some human diseases.
For example, it is said that the mutant gene provided by the superhero Deadpool can fight cancer. Although it is still in a clinical trial stage, it has already achieved results. It is said that the next step will be to expand the test subjects, using the genes provided by Deadpool can effectively curb the spread of cancer cells. Although it is not a complete cure for cancer, it is already good. It can greatly improve the length and quality of life of cancer patients.
And his mother's chronic disease was also cured through the mutant medicine. Although he has to pay medical expenses of about 300 federal currency every month, it is still very good. After her mother recovered, she found a job. She is very good at massage, and there are very few regular massage parlors in the city who are as good as her. Now my mother can earn 1,500 federal currency per month. The mother and daughter had a very good time.
But today when my mother came back, she brought an outsider back, eh? Seems like a new neighbor living next door? It seems that the surname is Wang?
God! Are you looking for someone to give yourself a blind date again? is it necessary? ! Cadel was a little speechless.
