Chapter 404 Jingshu's Goal This Time

After several struggles, everyone finally completed the first step of the second task, successfully sneaked into Austin, and officially became citizens of Austin! The next step is to enter the science and technology building to steal a series of equipment such as dehydrated vegetables.

"Amitabha, sins, sins." The monk put his hands together and confessed, then picked up the fork and gobbled it up. The beef stew with potatoes made by Jingshu was really fragrant.

Everyone lived in the first-class residential room they were assigned and rested early after dinner. Although it was crowded, the big castle always exuded a soft light, and the temperature inside was warm like spring. There were also intelligent cleaning robots on the key streets. All of this felt like living in a quiet high-tech city before the end of the world, clean and comfortable.

Of course, paying such an expensive fee only allows you to become the most basic first-class citizen. There are also second-class and third-class citizens above, just like VIPs who charge money. The more you charge, the more services you enjoy.

Not only that, if you want to survive in Austin City, the food you bring may not be enough. You need to work like before the end of the world. There are vagrants outside who are scrambling to do physical work. The high labor costs in the United States have become cheap at this moment. As long as you are fed, you will do anything. Therefore, the ordinary middle-class people in the castle have to rack their brains to think of other ways to earn food to continue living in the castle.

After all, it is not that you can enter the castle and live without worries for the rest of your life. There are expensive handling fees for each transaction, monthly management fees, taxes paid, etc. Becoming a citizen is just a stepping stone, a beginning; this is also the reason why many people say that they can afford to buy a car but cannot afford to maintain it. Many people think that they can live comfortably in a castle built with heavy money and absolutely safe by paying 100 pounds, but this is not the case.

And technology developers can get good treatment here. Recently, they have also developed various foods by any means to increase productivity.

Jingshu remembered that Wucheng had launched a special profession when developing food a year or two later, the taster, who ate all kinds of developed food in front of the public every day. If nothing happened in March, a bonus would be given, and if nothing died in a year, he would be promoted to a formal worker directly, so that the public would accept these particularly weird and disgusting foods. Using movements for experiments and so on, extinct animals are more precious than humans.

"At that time, there were still many problems with eating. Some people went crazy, and some grew other parts and organs. This group of people did make a certain contribution to the food of the end of the world. I didn't expect that the United States would start so early." Jingshu sighed. She was almost starving to death, so how could she care so much.

"Hey, the United States started research so early, so if I take back some information in advance, it should also be considered a contribution value, right?" Jingshu's idea came up unconsciously.

By the way, Austin also launched fertility workers, who are dedicated to giving birth to children for Austin citizens. The treatment is good, at least food and accommodation are provided, but you can't choose your partner. You go to live in that house to give birth this year, and go to the next house to continue giving birth the year after. Jingshu doesn't know how to evaluate this.

In fact, after the tyrant took office, facing the sharp decline in population, he also implemented similar policies, and even added new positions for formal workers aged 20-45 who can give birth. They enjoy formal worker treatment and have autonomy, which means that they can pair up with any single widowed man they like, and the man has no right to refuse until they have a child. Even a man can pair up with multiple parties at the same time.

You can refuse, but you have to pay the price of food. Let’s say that the tyrant is also a handsome iceberg. Many people ask him to give birth to a baby, and he has indeed handed over a lot of food for this, but how can you explain this left pocket and right pocket clearly?

After the child is born, it can be raised by the state or by the man. This choice with greater "freedom" is actually still controversial, because on the contrary, if the man wants a child, he must spend money to pair up, and there are still a lot of single dogs.

No matter what, Jingshu never considered supporting herself by giving birth to a child in her previous life, and it is even more impossible in this life.

For Austin, regardless of the country and external factors, this is definitely one of the best places to live in the end times. First, it is extremely safe. No one in the castle can carry guns except security. Second, it is comfortable. It is really good to have such a self-luminous material in a place without sunlight in the end times. Third, it is easier to get food sources.

And Jingshu also made her own goals for this second mission: see if there are suitable plants to grow, add some new supplies to the upgraded space, and then go to high-tech places to see if she can steal some useful supplies that are not available in the country, or see if there are any that can be used;

Finally, it is also the material of the castle wall that Jingshu has been thinking about. Jingshu quietly observed it by the wall. It is like an LED light that will always light up. If you touch it with your hand, it will be electrocuted. It has independent characteristics, that is, a piece can also light up. Of course, its own temperature is very warm at more than 40 degrees. It is like a huge bathroom heater in the castle, not only emitting light but also warm.

Jingshu quietly got some powder down. The strange thing is that the powder can also glow! She wanted to take more and bring it back to China, or find out about the research and development of this material. If she could bring this thing back to China, it would definitely be a great achievement, and she would be able to openly establish a strong position in the future.

"In the past ten years, my news was not outdated. At least I knew about the major events in the world. Why didn't such a great and precious material spread in the end times? I haven't even heard of it? It can't be that the person who invented this material also traveled through this life? Besides, being able to make this material into a city wall and a ceiling several dozen meters high, it shouldn't be particularly precious, right?" Jing Shu was really puzzled.

The next day, the team went their separate ways. Jingshu, the monk and Xiaohei came to the agricultural research and development center in the castle, where all agricultural-related things were gathered, including Austin's planting center, and Jingshu's goal this time, the new dehydration planting technology, etc.

Jingshu and her companions came to check out the place, and of course, to "find a job". After learning that Jingshu could cultivate medicinal materials and was a Chinese doctor, she was soon received by a research and development staff, a blonde beauty with blue eyes.

"Oh damn, there are too few private doctors in Austin, and even fewer who really know how to cultivate medicines. Thank God, we only extract antibiotics. Other medicines are in short supply. You can't just use antibiotics when you are sick, right? You came at the right time. If you can really cultivate medicinal materials, I will definitely apply to you to become a third-class citizen." Eiffel said excitedly, and Xiaohei translated in real time.

Jingshu raised her eyebrows, "Excuse me, you have no shortage of equipment and you can do all kinds of conditions. Since you can grow all kinds of vegetables, why can't you cultivate medicinal materials?"
