Chapter 97

As patients coming here for treatment, their range of activities is limited and they are mainly concentrated in the Guanghan City First People's Hospital at the base.

Yes, this place even has its own administrative divisions and new names for municipalities. It is said that some countries have expressed doubts and dissatisfaction with this, but most people don't care much about it.

If you are not convinced, just come up and build a base yourself.

If you don’t have the ability, stop talking.

This place is rarely open to ordinary people. Most of them are various research institutes and professional departments related to space. There are also many foreign scientists who apply to come here to do research, as well as students brought by scientists. However, everyone communicates in Chinese.

As a typical language waste, Xue Mi felt pretty good about it.

What’s even more exciting is the safety training that I was already looking forward to.

Although they are patients and will not stay here for a long time, they still have to receive safety training and only be allowed to go out after passing the exam.

There is no way. Compared with the narrow space of the spaceship, the base is obviously much larger, which means more dangers. If you are not careful, your face may hit the ceiling directly. It is dangerous to fall directly from a distance of more than ten meters.

The Moon Center Base was mainly built by utilizing the original holes inside the Moon. Some places are narrow, some places are spacious, but in general, the height is very limited. The tallest building here is only three stories high. With the help of certain equipment, people can easily jump up. Therefore, during the construction process, many houses directly omitted stairs and instead left steps on the facade of the building for leverage, allowing people to jump up and down like a group of nimble monkeys.

The only exceptions are a few government buildings, especially hospitals, which have specially retained stairs to facilitate patients' movement up and down.

However, when Xue Mi saw with her own eyes a guy with a plaster cast on his hand easily climb up the stairs on the facade to the third floor for a follow-up visit, she was sure that it was not a broken leg, or that they were newcomers and probably not many people would use the stairs.

In fact, after receiving safety training and receiving a small jet motion-assisting device and a safety bracelet, those with relatively flexible hands and feet would rather fall than continue walking up the stairs obediently - this shows the close relationship between human ancestors and apes.

Therefore, Xue Mi and several other patients lived a happy life while recovering from illness and experiencing the life of their ancestors. They also played games in their spare time - the sleeping cabins here could actually connect to the Internet on Earth, so they didn't even have to interfere with their daily lives or play dungeons with friends!

The food in the hospital is also good.

Xue Mi had already prepared to eat canned meals for a while, but who would have thought that the first thing built in this Yuexin base was an experimental farm, which not only allowed the cultivation of various vegetables and vines, but even fruit trees!

Xue Mi was immediately conquered by the soft, sweet and fragrant golden bananas produced on the moon. She shared one with a fellow patient and enjoyed it very much. But after finishing, both of them couldn't help holding their stomachs and groaning in pain after eating too much.

The cucumbers and cherry tomatoes here taste very good. The cucumbers have a very unique sweet fragrance and are crispy, tender, dry and thirst-quenching. The cherry tomatoes have a strong sweet and sour taste, which is just like eating tomato-flavored ice cream.

There is also real ice cream here, which has a high milk content and is blended using a professional centrifuge. It has an incredibly smooth taste and is said to be a small idea from a biological research institute. Because the taste is so outstanding, the formula was sold to a large food company, which then sells it under the brand name of Yuexin Base Special Ice Cream, and the sales are pretty good.

Xue Mi felt that, apart from the metal sky above her head and the life of flying over rooftops and walking on walls, there was really no difference between this place and Earth.

Ah, it's not completely without difference. Xue Mi suddenly remembered that the houses here cannot be bought or sold. For a rich woman who is accustomed to purchasing properties everywhere, this is really sad news.

However, I heard from the staff here that when the Yuexin Base is expanded and officially opened to ordinary people, some commercial housing may be released for sale. As for the price, it is estimated that it will not be too cheap.

After all, the lunar base is still under construction. In the foreseeable future, it will become the next hotspot. So even if it is costly to come here, many wealthy people will be happy to own a house on other planets.

For example, Xue Mi was extremely excited just thinking about buying a house on the moon. Even though this was still a distant possibility, she had already started to get ready to grab it.

The reason why she wanted to buy a house on the moon was not only because of her collecting addiction and the desire to collect a rare card, but also because it was so addictive to jump around in this place.

Perhaps everyone has the impulse to regress to their ancestors in their genes. As long as you are not afraid of heights, it would be wonderful to jump around in the steel forest without worrying about getting hurt.

In fact, some people who suffer from acrophobia are inexplicably cured here without any medication, especially with the dual effects of the jet motion assist device and the safety bracelet, people can experience the joy of flying to the extreme - or there is a more appropriate way of saying it: it is like a fish swimming freely in the center of the moon.

After all, the gravity here is 1/6 of that on Earth, which is very close to the feeling of being supported by the buoyancy of the ocean on Earth. The only difference is that in this place, people can float in the air without worrying about drowning.

In response to the special environment here, the hospital has also developed a steam thermal therapy. In short, in a room filled with 42-degree steam, patients can spread out their hands and feet and soak in the warm steam comfortably. This feeling is a bit similar to taking a hot spring bath, but even more wonderful than a hot spring.

The only thing they have in common is that you can't soak in it for too long, otherwise you'll easily get dizzy and faint.

Xue Mi almost fainted once. She felt her eyes were shining with golden light. She was dragged out of the heat therapy room staggeringly. After breathing the slightly cold fresh air, she finally felt relieved.

However, this kind of heat therapy room also has a good auxiliary effect on their treatment.

The special environment on the moon is more suitable for treating genetic diseases than on Earth, especially with the assistance of screened cosmic rays, which can greatly improve the treatment effect.

After only one month of treatment, Xue Mi felt that the treatment was effective. Her muscles, which had been cramping from time to time, had now completely recovered to their healthy state.

She felt relaxed all over.

After the treatment here was over, everyone was reluctant to end their journey and return to Earth.

But returning to Earth is not an easy task.

After staying here for so long, the muscles and bones have long adapted to the microgravity on the moon. If they go back directly, they are likely to encounter various space diseases, including but not limited to osteoporosis and muscle atrophy. However, Xue Mi thinks the most terrifying thing is that they are used to the flying lifestyle here. When they return to Earth, if they suddenly jump from the third or fourth floor, then they will be in trouble.

It is easy to adapt to this flying habit, but it is much more difficult to adjust back.

Before, most people have experienced the feeling of soaring high and flying over the top of the mountain in the sleeping cabin. The game cabin is not open to teenagers under the age of 12. The main reason is that they are worried that they cannot distinguish between virtual and reality, and they might accidentally jump off the roof wrapped in a bed sheet. That would cause a big mess.

Nowadays, although the simulation level of game cabins has approached 80% of reality, there is still a 20% difference, which ordinary people can easily distinguish.

In contrast, returning from the Moon Heart Base would require a lot of behavioral correction to avoid leaving any trouble.

During the behavior correction, Gui Minjun, who felt the restraint of gravity again, couldn't help but complain: "It is said that playing games is addictive. I think it is also easy to get addicted in the Moon Heart Base. If it weren't for my family and friends on Earth, I really hope to stay here forever and never go back."

Another patient shook his head: "That's not possible for me. Everything else here is good, but I just can't stand the lack of sunlight."

Although the artificial light source at the Yuexin Base can simulate the effect of natural light to a large extent, for sensitive people, there is still a huge difference between the two and they cannot be considered the same thing at all.

Xue Mi had a similar feeling.

Although the Yuexin Base is good, a large villa with plenty of sunlight is equally beautiful. She doesn't want to miss either of the two kinds of life.

While this group of patients who had just returned from the moon were returning to the base for adaptive training, another group of newcomers preparing to land on the moon also came here for preliminary preparatory training.

There are four newcomers in this group. They are not professionals either, but the lucky winners of the previous lucky draw at the Moon Heart Base. The grand prize they won is the opportunity to live at the Moon Heart Base for a week for free and experience how ordinary people live outside the Earth.

When this lottery was held, almost everyone was paying attention to it, and the number of views and likes easily exceeded 1 billion. The news spread to the outside world, and many people climbed over the wall to join the lottery. As a result, a foreigner accidentally won the lottery.

The original conditions for the lottery were that the candidate had to be a Chinese resident, or a foreigner with formal status and permanent residence in China. This person met none of the requirements, so his place was invalidated and a new lucky winner was drawn. This incident caused controversy overseas. The foreigner who was drawn and whose qualifications were invalidated specially pulled out a red banner and went to the local Chinese embassy to protest.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.

Coincidentally, Xue Mi knew the last person added. She was the little girl she met when traveling abroad before. In a few years, she would become the future big shot who would be the first person to land on Mars.

After not seeing each other for many years, the little girl has grown into a big girl. Although she has just entered junior high school, this little girl has already completed all the high school content in advance and began to teach herself college mathematics and physics. At first glance, she is an excellent academic master, the kind that people can only worship.

Unexpectedly, this girl also remembered Xue Mi and affectionately called her sister. She was still as sweet and soft-spoken as when she was a child, but she had changed from a very cute little girl to a still cute grown-up girl.

He is worthy of being a person who will accomplish great things in the future. Not only does he have an incredibly high IQ, but he also has a high EQ.

Although there was a big age gap between them, the two of them somehow got along well. The girl talked to Xue Mi about a lot of things about herself, such as the games she liked to play and the good classes she had recently heard at the Virtual University. She also taught a course at the Virtual University, and there were actually dozens of people coming to listen. This made the girl very proud, and she prepared for her lessons more seriously.

As a teenage girl, she has a lot of worries, for example, which direction to choose for future development, she has not yet made up her mind.

"I think aerospace is good, but high-energy physics is very interesting." The little girl discussed the future full of high-tech with a worried look on her face. Compared with this girl, Xue Mi felt that she was just a complete poor student.

"Actually, you can choose both." Although based on the girl's future, Xue Mi should recommend aerospace, however, facing the infinite possibilities at hand, drawing a small circle early on is simply the most boring way to deal with it.

The little girl's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

Since it was difficult to choose, she might as well choose both. She wasn't tired from studying anyway, and it didn't feel too strenuous to choose two subjects at the same time. If Xue Mi was a willful rich woman, then the girl in front of her was obviously a willful academic master.

The two willful guys smiled at each other, like two little girls planning to do something bad together.

It’s no wonder that Xue Mi and this little girl get along well, because both of them are quite childish.

The training at the base will soon be over, and Xue Mi will soon return to her daily life as a rich woman. As for this future tycoon, he will soon leave the earth for the first time and enter outer space to truly feel the charm of the universe and the starry sky.

When she comes back, she might change her plans for the future, but changing one's mind is the privilege of young people.

Xue Mi waved goodbye to the other party, and it seemed as if she saw with her own eyes a more magnificent future unfolding bit by bit before her eyes.

She walked among them with a crown of thorns on her head and flowers and a dazzling future under her feet.

I wonder if my mother saw such a future before she passed away - it would be great if she could, Xue Mi thought.
