Chapter 339 Guess
At the top of this 100-meter building that resembles a pyramid structure, a sky elevator slowly descends from the sky city ten thousand meters above the ground.

drop!
The elevator door opened, and the safety seat's safety fixing system automatically released its upward fixation. Gu Linyu, Zhou Xiyi and others, along with Wei Wentian's assistant, left the cabin one after another.

From the small flat head on the top of the Tower of Babel, you can overlook the endless forest in the west and the raging waves in the east.

Taking the internal commuter elevator of the Tower of Babel again, everyone arrived at the underground parking lot at the bottom. A bus that had been arranged in advance took the group to the urban area of ​​Zhuri City.

Li Qin, the temporary tour guide sent by the Zhuri City branch, smiled and said to everyone on the bus: "Your current clothes are not suitable for living here. Although the temperature in Zhuri City will drop in the next few days, it will still be more than 30 degrees Celsius during the day and will only drop to 27 or 28 degrees at night."

Gu Linyu and others finally reacted.

When they were in the sky city, they all wore new pressure-resistant suits, which not only protect against radiation, but also can cope with sudden decompression at high altitudes, low temperatures, etc.

We were all indoors on the way here, with air conditioning adjusting the indoor temperature, so naturally we didn't feel the temperature rise.

But when we get off the car later, it will definitely not be okay to wear this.

On the road to the city.

Everyone took off their pressure suits in the bus, leaving only some underwear and vests.

Fortunately, Li Qin was quite reliable and had applied for a batch of special tropical work clothes for everyone through the branch's logistics office in advance.

Gu Linyu picked up a set of work clothes similar to work clothes and put them on himself.

"These clothes are made of cotton and linen blends. They are sweat-wicking and breathable. They are specially designed for tropical regions. If you still need casual clothes, you need to go to a clothing store and buy them yourself."

"Thank you very much." Gu Linyu took another set of work clothes without tearing the packaging film and stuffed it into the large work backpack provided by the branch. He also folded the pressure-resistant suit he had just taken off and stuffed it in.

"Dr. Gu, you're welcome. This is all my job." Li Qin turned his head and looked at the others: "If you have any questions about Sun Chaser City, you can ask me directly."

A middle-aged researcher wearing sunglasses pulled up his sunglasses and asked, "Brother Li, how many people are there in this city now?"

"There are more than 38,000 people, more than half of whom are locals, one third are Chinese, and the rest are from other member states."

"I heard that Sun Chaser City is only about 200 kilometers away from Java's capital, Archipelago City?"

Li Qin nodded: "Yes! Archipelago City is on the coast south of Sun Chasing City. Both places are in East Kalimantan."

"I see."

“What’s good to eat here?”

"Haha, Old Cow, you're greedy again."

"Tsk, you didn't eat that."

Li Qin introduced the various situations of Zhuri City to everyone.

After listening to the introduction, Gu Linyu and others had a preliminary understanding of this city. Like other cities that developed because of industries, Zhuri City is a city specifically born for the aerospace industry. Everything here revolves around the aerospace industry and employee services.

There are nearly 2,000 relevant technical personnel, and the others are infrastructure workers, service personnel, employees’ families, and a small number of individual business operators who come here to seek their fortune.

Taking into account the special circumstances of Sun City.

The airport and the Tower of Babel here are in opposite directions. The Tower of Babel is 8 kilometers away from the northern suburbs of the city, while the Sun City Airport is 12 kilometers away from the southern suburbs of the city. The distance between the two places is more than 23 kilometers.

Moreover, the only air routes here are to the south, east, and west. There is no air route to the north. This is to prevent planes from accidentally entering the anchoring cable area under the sky city.

Of course, if you really want to fly north, it is not impossible, but you need to make a circle under the command of air traffic control before you can fly north.

unconsciously.

The bus has arrived at the dormitory area arranged by the Zhuri City branch for everyone.

"These are the dormitory areas for technical personnel..." Li Qin led everyone to a nine-story apartment building.

Although they had only walked for more than ten minutes, Gu Linyu, Zhou Xiyi and others began to sweat.

"Huh... this weather is really hot and humid."

"If there were no sky city to block the view, the temperature would probably be even higher."

"Fortunately, I changed my clothes in advance, otherwise I might have suffered from heat stroke."

After everyone chose a residence and got the key, they went to a nearby supermarket to buy daily necessities. Apart from their mobile phones, ID cards and a set of pressure-resistant clothing, they had nothing else on them.

This is also the norm for many migrant workers.

After all, it is really inconvenient to carry a lot of luggage abroad, so it is better to purchase locally.

Anyway, the Chinese yuan is now commonly used within the Asian Union, and the prices of industrial products in different places are almost the same; in terms of agricultural products, the prices of bulk agricultural products are generally similar, and only the specialty agricultural products in some places may have inflated prices.

In fact, even if the price is inflated, it is not that high.

After all, the reason why specialty agricultural products are called specialty is not because they are niche products that cannot go beyond a certain region.

This kind of specialty agricultural product often has a small output and its target audience is limited to local people. As a migrant worker, if you feel the price is too high, you can choose not to buy it.

When he arrived at the supermarket, Gu Linyu first bought some toiletries, then clothes and air-conditioning quilt, and finally food.

However, they did not buy rice, vegetables or the like, but directly purchased some fast food products such as frozen meal packs and instant noodles.

Because they can eat in cafeterias and restaurants, there is no need to cook for themselves.

After all, they are here to be technicians, not househusbands. The technicians have a starting monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, plus various subsidies, and they also cook their own meals in the dormitory. They are simply living a life of hardship.

Unless friends or relatives come over, some people like to cook at home, which is a rare case.

I guess most people who have actually worked in a home kitchen would not like to cook for themselves, because it is too troublesome, and it takes a lot of time and effort, and the food may not necessarily taste good.

The concepts of the times are also changing with the development of the times.

Gu Linyu and others bought a lot of fruits, snacks and drinks.

Eating durian popsicles and enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner.

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the setting sun cast its rays into the shadowed cyber city.

Without the scorching sun at noon, the setting sun was less hot and more gentle. Coupled with the cool sea breeze blowing from the east, the temperature in the entire city did not soar, but stabilized around 32 degrees Celsius.

After bringing the things back to the dormitory, seeing that it seemed not yet time for lunch, everyone started out in groups of three or four.

Near the exit of the dormitory area, there are shared electric donkeys that can be scanned.

Gu Linyu, Zhou Xi and the other four people each picked up a small electric donkey and started to walk around the streets and alleys of Zhuri City. The dock area in the eastern suburbs.

The buildings here are very strange.

The urban area of ​​Zhuri City is about two kilometers away from the coast. The urban area was transformed from a hill with an altitude of between 50 and 70 meters.

However, the altitude of this coastal area is only about seven or eight meters, and the mudflats by the sea, in particular, are covered with mangroves and will be submerged once the tide rises.

Therefore, the buildings and docks along this coast are designed as an overhead structure, somewhat similar to the stilt houses that are popular in Southeast Asia.

The pier extends nearly 1.7 kilometers out to sea, which avoids the mudflats and allows ships to dock directly in the open sea.

On the elevated building on the coast, several electric scooters are parked next to an observation deck, which has a pavilion and specially planted tropical flowers and plants.

Gu Linyu looked at the mangroves below, his eyes flashing with solemnity: "The sea level rise is quite obvious!"

"It's indeed a bit fast." Zhou Xiyi also noticed this.

It is not yet high tide at night for the mangroves under our feet, but the sea water has already submerged more than half of the mangroves. Only a small part of the crowns of many mangroves on the outer side are left.

Moreover, these submerged mangroves are in an unhealthy state overall, with sparse leaves. It is obvious that they have been immersed in sea water for a long time, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"It is estimated that it will not be long before this mangrove forest will be swallowed by the sea."

Zhou Xiyi picked up a bottle of floral water and sprayed it on himself a few times: "I hope the Antarctic solar energy development plan is still in time!"

In response, Gu Linyu took the flower dew water helplessly: "That plan can't be completed quickly. According to the fastest schedule, it will take nearly ten years. With the current sea level rising by one or two meters per year, in ten years, it will have risen by at least ten meters."

Zhou Xiyi shook his head: "Let's not talk about this, Lao Gu, does your boss really plan to develop Venus? Do you want to immigrate to Venus in the future? This is a bit difficult!"

Opening a box of licorice fruit, Gu Linyu used a toothpick to pick up a piece of red guava: "We don't need to worry about this. How to safely migrate to Venus is the business of the Space Migration Laboratory. Our task now is to figure out low-cost launch technology."

Zhou Xiyi, who had a plum in his hand, said with a smile: "In fact, we can also consider migrating to Mars!"

Gu Linyu, who had eaten a red guava, shook his head: "Mars is good for initial construction, but the gravity on Mars is too different from that on Earth. If humans live on Mars for a long time, they may experience irreversible physiological changes in the future."

"By the way, Lao Gu, doesn't your company have an application for arranging jobs nearby for immediate family members? We are expected to settle down here in the next few years. I wonder if a non-staff cooperative employee like me can enjoy this treatment?"

"It should be possible. You can ask the cooperation office of the scientific research department tonight. They should give you a reply."

"I hope to bring my wife and children here so that we don't have to travel back and forth between the two places."

Gu Linyu ate another piece of pineapple, and then he asked curiously: "What does your wife do?"

"She teaches physics in a high school and is my college classmate."

"That shouldn't be a problem. Your wife can come over to teach at the school here. There should be a shortage of teachers here."

Zhou Xiyi also thinks it’s good: “The domestic education positions are now overcrowded with teachers, and there are fewer and fewer students. It’s also good to come to Southeast Asia.”

"I heard that a large number of college students from South Korea and Japan were also arranged to come to Southeast Asia to engage in educational work. I guess similar plans will also be launched in China."

Zhou Xiyi agreed with this view: "Well, educating the next generation is indeed a vital matter for the Asian Union at this stage."

"Now with nano-headphones, language barriers are no longer a problem, but reading and writing need further improvement."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiyi looked embarrassed: "Does Yalian intend to fully promote nano-headphones in schools in Southeast Asia? This is a considerable expense!"

"Compared with the rapid promotion of integration, the expenditure is only a few hundred billion yuan, and the authorities will not be stingy in this regard."

"Then your company will make a lot of money."

"Haha, our company is just a financial investment."

Zhou Xiyi picked up a carambola and said, "Old Gu, have you ever paid attention to the non-rejection organs developed by your boss?"

"What's up? Do you need anything?"

“No, no…” Zhou Xiyi shook his head like a rattle: “My family and I are in good health, I’m just a little curious about this technology.”

"I'm not too sure. After all, I'm not engaged in biomedicine." Gu Linyu took a sip of iced milk tea.

"Do you think this technology can be used in some special aspects?"

"Haha, have you read too many science fiction novels?"

"Old Gu, don't jump to conclusions so easily." Zhou Xiyi looked like he didn't believe it: "If it was a few years ago, would you dare to believe the current technological development?"

"This..." Gu Linyu didn't dare to jump to conclusions. After all, the development of science and technology in the country in recent years can really be described as rapid.

"You see, the underlying technical principle of this non-rejection organ is to eliminate rejection between non-homologous organs through genetic engineering. This organ can be a cloned organ based on human genes or animal genes."

After hearing Zhou Xiyi's guess, Gu Linyu fell into deep thought.

Although he is not a researcher in the biomedical field, he still has some basic knowledge of biology. He thinks that the direction proposed by Zhou Xiyi is feasible.

Just the thought of transplanting organs from various animals into humans made him think of the mutant creatures in various science fiction movies, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine.

"Lao Gu? What's wrong with you?"

Gu Linyu came back to his senses, suppressed the random thoughts in his mind, shook his head and replied: "Nothing, I just think your idea makes sense, but our boss should take this matter into consideration."

"Will Academician Jiang consider this direction?" Zhou Xiyi was puzzled, but also had a hint of agreement.

After all, Jiang Miao's scientific research ability is obvious to all in the academic community, and his ideas are also wild and imaginative. He may have already thought of the application in this area, but has kept it secret for now.

Thinking that Hailufeng Company might keep this matter confidential, Zhou Xiyi gave up the idea of ​​continuing the discussion.

In fact, Zhou Xiyi is not the first person to think this way. After all, there are always some smart people in the world.

Based on the underlying technical principles of non-rejection organs, many people have inferred that this technology may lead to the technology of transplanting animal organs.

It's just speculation, and there is no definite evidence to prove that Hailufeng Company is doing research and development in this area.

However, many intelligence agencies of external forces have more or less conducted analysis in this regard and have even conducted relevant feasibility studies.

Unfortunately, Jiang Miao will not respond to questions in this regard.

To be precise, Jiang Miao rarely responds to various speculations from the outside world. This is mainly to avoid people from interpreting hidden confidential information through public information.
