Chapter 49 Chapter 21 is not far away

Rising above Eposna's horizon, the radiant Celestia was yellow and orange through the smoky atmosphere. Pilosi, as usual, had a nutritious but dull breakfast.She was going to work, but she was most afraid of smelling the strong smell of sulfur dioxide on the street. She put her beloved cream-yellow cloak on her shoulders, and walked out of the comfortable elevated house, frowning tightly, holding her breath, He hurriedly got into a magnetic cushion car and slammed the door hard.After the magnetic cushion car started automatically on the elevated highway, it drove her to the Global Animal Center according to the route she had chosen in advance.

Pilosi glanced out of the car window, and the flooded river under the elevated highway has not receded.The turbid river water mixed with a lot of silt was rushing, rolling up piles of white foam.There was a look of indifference in her eyes, for the flood had nothing to do with her or her city.When she was still a child, all the plains and depressions in Eposna had been elevated to a huge project.Even if the flood floods on the ground, they can still live leisurely on the elevated building facilities. The Global Animal Center is located on the edge of the city.After the magnetic pad car came to a complete stop, she quickly got out of the car.After passing the animal center, there is an endless desert.A gust of wind blew sand and rocks away, and the sky was dark.She hates wind and sand, but she is not afraid of it.Because the animal center, like any other building, has good airtightness, no matter how strong the wind is, it will not allow sand to get in.She took three steps in parallel and stepped into the airtight door of the animal center.

Many colleagues have already arrived.She greeted them and went to her work area, where she was a keeper at the Global Animal Center and looked after a group of winged animals. The word "breeder" is still used from ancient times, but now these animals don't need her to really raise them. She walked to a finely crafted fence.Inside the fence, there was a thick-bodied animal with degenerated wings on its forelimbs, two legs on its hind limbs, a tail behind it, and two curved horns on its head.On the fence, hung a golden metal plaque: Winged cattle: advanced winged animals, native to Iriba.In the geological age, it was good at flying; now its wings have degenerated.Ancient humans used it as a food animal out of ignorance.Now available for viewing.

She stepped into the fence and called "Sim" to the winged bull.It wagged its tail and walked up to her, sticking out its tongue to lick her hand.She raised her hand to Sim's eyes and shook it twice, and it immediately stood there motionless. Pilosi touched its back, and a cover on its stomach opened automatically, revealing complex electronic circuits and mechanical transmission mechanisms.She took out a pocket instrument from her body, and checked each of the daily "breeding" items.After she confirmed that everything was normal for the robot cow, she closed the cover and let it move freely.She went to check other robot animals.

In this animal center, like any other zoo in the world, all the animals are robotic animals.They are so vivid with ancient natural animals that they can give people comfort and satisfaction in a world where natural animals are completely extinct. When the opening time came, tourists poured in in large numbers.A schoolboy asked his mother after looking at the bronze medal on the fence: "Is its meat tasty?" "I heard that if you eat it, you will vomit!" Pilosi secretly thought it was funny, and went to the laboratory alone.She doesn't like these mechanical animals, she yearns for ancient natural animals.In the laboratory, there is an old TV set, which is used to show videos of natural animals.According to regulations, the residents of Eposna, except for the breeders and robot animal designers, are not allowed to watch these videos left over from history.

Pilosi picked out a video tape to play, and vivid pictures appeared on the TV: In a natural plant forest, a group of natural winged cows were grazing freely.Natural winged cattle are slaughtered by people, and plates of delicious natural delicacies are put on the table.The scene of a family eating with gusto during lunch in ancient times.She was almost drooling. "If only I could eat natural animals and plants too!" she couldn't help thinking. At noon, as soon as she came out of the air-conditioned animal center, she immediately felt as hot and oppressive as being in a steamer.She looked up at the sky in disgust, as if she wanted to see if there was more carbon dioxide gathering there.People consume energy recklessly and emit carbon dioxide into the sky, just like the glass on the top of a greenhouse, only let the four rays of light enter the atmosphere with huge heat, but prevent the heat from radiating out of the atmosphere.This "greenhouse effect" completely destroyed the climate on Eposna.

"This ghostly place, I really can't stay any longer!" She thought to herself. She ran to her magnetic pad car and got into it immediately.The air-conditioning in the car made her so comfortable that it put her off that idea for a while. The magnetic pad car stopped at an elevated intersection.There are hundreds of student-driven magnetic cushion vehicles slowly crossing the intersection.Large and small placards are inserted on the car: "Natural food, not artificial meat!" "We are creatures, not robots!" "Return my nature!" ………… The demonstration convoy passed by, and Pilosi's car crossed the intersection.Green street trees appeared on both sides of the elevated highway, their leaves rustling in the breeze.Like the robotic animals, these trees are all man-made robotic trees.She learned from modern history textbooks that due to the destruction of the ecosystem, the plants on Eposna gradually became extinct.Only relying on the profound knowledge and superb technology of bionicists, many machine trees have been produced.

The first thing she does when she gets home is to check the quality of the work of the home electric chef.There are only two kinds of prepared artificial dishes in the cupboard, but no rice.She opened the control box angrily, and a yellow light was shining. It turned out that there was something wrong with the automatic control circuit of the electronic chef.She decided to fix it after making her own lunch. She looked out the window, and there were several starch synthesis machine trees outside the window.The leaves of these trees are made with molecular circuits imitating the mechanism of natural chlorophyll. Like the extinct natural food crops, they can absorb the light of Tianyuansi and turn carbon dioxide and water into starch.The starch synthesized by the artificial leaves is automatically delivered to a storage cabinet in the kitchen through conduits in the branches and trunk.She opened the lid of the storage cupboard, scooped out bowls of clean white artificial starch, and started cooking.As for the tricks, it doesn't matter to her, anyway, they are just some tasteless nourishment.

After lunch, a friend of her father Sogekken came to visit.His name is Stuart, and he is an environmental scholar.As soon as he met Sogeken, he talked about the student demonstration at noon. "These students just learned some modern history, heard a little bit of natural flora and fauna, and took to the streets to make trouble. They really don't know what to do." Start put on a veteran face. "It's no wonder they, in all fairness, contemporary artificial food is really too monotonous." Sogeken said sympathetically. "This was a mistake made by the mainstream at that time! They advocated that 'environmental pollution is a fart, and everything is for industrial development'. As a result, there was an ecological crisis in the world, which eventually led to the extinction of animals and plants." Pilosi said aside.

Hearing the criticism of the mainstream, Start immediately changed his face.He said angrily: "There is nothing wrong with the main school. We must not adapt the natural environment to the endless needs of man, but let man adapt to the polluted natural environment." "What do you mean by that?" Sogkin didn't understand. "I mean, the latest achievements in genetic engineering should be applied to transform humans into new species that can adapt to polluted environments." Start said decisively. "My God," exclaimed Pilosi, "this is too cruel!"

Stuart didn't take it seriously and laughed it off.He sat for a while, and when he saw Niccolo coming, he got up and said goodbye. Niccolo came to Sorgken to discuss checking the "Explorer" spacecraft at the intermediate station tomorrow. "I heard that the spacecraft will be launched the day after tomorrow," Niccolo said. "That's right," Sorgeken said, "it's our first spaceship to break free from the gravity of Tianyuan 4!" "Can it break away from Tianyuan Four's gravitational pull?" Pilosi's eyes lit up, as if seeing a glimmer of hope amidst despair. "Father, can you take me to the spaceship tomorrow?" "What are you going to do?" Sorgeken was surprised. "I want to fly to the depths of the universe with you to find the green planet in ancient legends." Pilosi said excitedly. "You want us to hijack the 'Explorer' and escape from Eposna?" Niccolo asked in surprise. "You can say that." Pilosi made no secret. "It's something to think about," said Sogkin. "Once you escape, you won't be able to come back, and the road is full of dangers." "My mother died from the pollution. Father, I really can't bear the life here, please, accompany me on a long voyage!" Pilosi said with tears, and she turned to face Ni Ke Luo, "Honey, and you, come with me too!" Sogeken loves his daughter dearly, but is also reluctant to part with the planet that nurtures him, feeling very conflicted.Niccolo, on the other hand, came happily, saying: "Okay, I'll go with you!" Sogeken hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.He looked at Pilosi and said: "Don't regret it!"
