Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Smart Bracelet

After explaining the matter, Su Qing returned to her office. The breeding farm at the base has become larger and larger, but it is currently short of duck down, goose down, and wool for making clothes. She used all the fertilized duck and goose eggs recently for breeding.

As for cattle and sheep, the slaughter will be suspended for the time being. There are many species anyway, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t eat them for the time being.

Then she issued a new task, recruiting people to burn charcoal and chop trees.

Since felling trees requires going outside the base, Su Qing set this task exclusively for the base team, and the rewards were also quite generous.

After setting up everything, Su Qing looked at the gold coins he had saved up to hundreds of thousands.

Now she not only sells fruits and vegetables to Lu Chen, but also sells them to other bases through Lu Chen. She makes a lot of money. Except for the money left for the daily expenses of the base, the rest is exchanged for gold coins by her.

She opened the redemption mall, which she hadn't seen for a long time, and wanted to see if there was anything worth redeeming.

Now more and more icons are lit up on the page, and she flips through them one by one.

Suddenly, she saw an icon that said smart communication device.

This should be the kind of communication device she was thinking of, right? She really needs this thing now. Without a communication device, everything is very inconvenient.

But...it was actually priced at 300,000 gold coins! It was sheer rip-off! And it was only on sale for an hour! Given the system's ruthlessness, it was hard not to suspect this thing was designed specifically for her.

"System, this communication equipment is too expensive!"

"This is a high-end device produced by the world of high intelligence. Believe me, it is definitely worth the money."

"I've worked so hard for so long to save up over 300,000 yuan, so please give me a discount."

"I'm sorry, no bargaining, dear!"

…

Su Qing thought about it again and again, "Can you reveal some specific information? I have to know what functions it has since it's sold at such a high price. Otherwise, if it doesn't live up to the hype, I'll be at a huge loss."

"Dear, please rest assured, our products will never be out of stock. We charge such a high price because it's worth it. Trust me, this device will definitely not let you down. After this item is sold, you can enjoy a 30-second, no-questions-asked return service! It's only sold once, and once it's taken off the shelves, it won't be available again. Don't miss it!"

"Can you please change your Taobao-esque style? It's giving me goosebumps. Also, what the hell is a 30-second return policy? Can you go even shorter?"

Should I buy it or not? It's rare to see something that looks useful.

Ding Dong... Congratulations to the host on successfully purchasing the smart communication device. The product will be delivered to the backpack soon.

You have 30 seconds to view the item before it's final and cannot be returned! The timer starts now!

Su Qing looked at the red countdown that appeared in front of her, and quickly opened her backpack to check the items. Her backpack was full of things. She scrolled to the bottom and saw the icon of the communication device, and quickly clicked it.

Then ten machine-like things appeared in the backpack, and she took out a machine from the backpack and put it in the house.

There are 10 seconds left in the countdown, 9 seconds...

Oh my god! This is too bad, it's so fast! Su Qing walked forward, turned on the machine, and an advertisement appeared on the screen!

There's actually an ad! Su Qing really wants to swear!

"Advanced intelligent AI communication system, developed by D-35, the world's cutting-edge technology company DL Corporation..."

"Countdown 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second! The countdown is over. This product is now unavailable for return or exchange for any reason! Thank you for your support of our exclusive service!"

I don't support you, you idiot!

There was no way to return it anyway, so Su Qing was not in a hurry at the moment. She slowly looked at the advertisement, which mainly introduced the product.

There is a groove on the right side of the machine in front of her. She needs to put her arm on it, and then the machine will inject a nanochip into the body for DNA binding. After that, it will give out a bracelet and a wireless headset. After wearing the bracelet, she can communicate with other people who also have the bracelet.

The bracelet has functions such as voice, video, and chat software, and can be bound to the gold card in the base, completely replacing the function of the gold card. One bracelet can achieve everything, everything can be operated with consciousness, and a virtual screen will appear when you tap the bracelet.

Wow, it does look very high-tech. It's almost the same as a mobile phone, only simpler.

After Su Qing finished reading the advertisement, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

She clicked on the screen and followed the prompts step by step, then placed her arm into the groove.

A cover was closed on the machine, and I felt a slight pain in my arm, as if I had been bitten by a mosquito.

"The chip is being injected! The operation is completed and the chip has been injected successfully." The machine made a sound.

Then a black bracelet and wireless headphones were pushed out.

Su Qing looked at this thing. It was just an ordinary black bracelet and earphones. On the surface, it looked nothing special.

She picked up the bracelet and put it on her hand, then put the earphones in her right ear.

"Welcome to the smart AI bracelet! Below we will introduce you to the bracelet's functions. The bracelet has the following settings... Binding... Binding successful... Activation successful... Hello, Ms. Su Qing, this bracelet has been bound to a chip and cannot be used by anyone other than you. Your ID is S00000001."

A pleasant female voice came from the headset. It first repeated the advertisement and then told me to activate it.

She tapped the surface of the bracelet, and then the bracelet emitted a burst of light, and a colorful virtual screen appeared on the back of her hand. She turned her hand in surprise, and the screen rotated with it. She turned it to the palm of her hand, and the screen appeared in the palm of her hand.

Is this... a projection? The image is so clear, it really is high-tech.

Su Qing wanted to try the call function, so she walked out quickly and searched for a long time before she found Fang Qing. She pulled Fang Qing back to the office.

"What are you doing? Why are you so mysterious? What happened?" Fang Qing was dragged into the office by Su Qing and looked at her blankly.

"You follow the machine's instructions." Su Qing pulled Fang Qing to the machine.

Fang Qing was full of confusion, but she did as Su Qing said, clicked on the machine, and then followed the instructions. After a while, she got the bracelet and headphones.

"Take it with you."

Fang Qing put on the bracelet, then picked up the earphones and put them in her ears.

Listening to the sound coming from the headphones, Fang Qing's eyes widened and her face was full of surprise.

"This... this can communicate?"

"Come on, let's add each other as friends." Su Qing nodded, then tapped the bracelet and clicked on the screen to add a contact. Then he asked Fang Qing to tell him her ID and added her.

Fang Qing's bracelet made a beeping sound, and then a frame popped up on her screen, showing that someone had added her as a friend.

The two added each other as friends. Su Qing couldn't wait to send a video to Fang Qing. Fang Qing clicked to accept, and then their faces appeared on each other's screens.

"This... is amazing!"

Fang Qing's voice came from Su Qing's ear and headphones at the same time.

"That's great, we don't have to worry about not being able to pass on messages anymore."

"Well, I'll go put the machine away now. You go notify the people at the base and prepare to collect the bracelet."

The two walked out of the door together, and Su Qing walked quickly towards the mission center. When she met someone who greeted her on the way, she invited them to go to the mission center with her and briefly told them about the bracelet.

So the team grew larger and larger, and a group of people walked around the base in a large group with curiosity, which was a spectacular scene.

Those who were curious also followed, and many people asked people next to them what big thing had happened as they walked.

Arriving at the mission center, Su Qing took out all ten machines and put them away, then explained the operating procedures to the people in the room.

Then people lined up in front of each machine.

Fang Qing was also promoting the smart bracelets in the base. The news spread quickly in the base and everyone rushed over to get them.

Although the bracelet also has the function of a gold card, Su Qing did not abolish the gold card. There are still many elderly people in the base who do not know how to use high technology, so it is more convenient to use a gold card. Some people also like to swipe cards to buy things, so this card will be retained to facilitate this group of people.

Those who received the bracelets walked out of the task center, and everyone looked down at the screen on their hands. They discussed the functions of the bracelets and added each other as friends. Those who didn't receive the bracelets stretched their necks to look at them, and some even gathered around to ask questions. For a while, the entrance of the task center was very lively.

Seeing that nothing was wrong here, Su Qing said goodbye to Fang Qing and left the base to return home.

Since she had nothing to do for a while, she started to busy herself with making charcoal. Although she couldn't make much by herself, every bit counts. The change in temperature made her feel a little uneasy, so she prepared more charcoal and wood to be on the safe side.

When she arrived at the open space, she arranged the wood she had taken from the base one by one, covered it with soil, and then lit the top. Su Qing piled up three earthen bags in a row to burn charcoal.

After waiting for the fire inside to burn to each hole, she covered the opening with mud, and it was done. After that, she just had to wait for it to cool down and take out the charcoal.

The whole day passed in this busy schedule. When it was completely dark, Fuguier came back covered in dust.

Su Qing looked at the dust on its body, feeling somewhat helpless. "Where have you been running off to again? Look how dirty you are! I've already given you a bath four times this month! Do you know how much trouble it takes to give you a bath?"

"Awoo! Awoo!" Fuguier rubbed against Su Qing's legs with a flattering look on his face.

Seeing this, Su Qing stepped back repeatedly, "Hey, hey, hey, you are so dirty, don't rub against me! Come here, I will give you a bath."

Fuguier wagged his tail and barked, then followed Su Qing into the house.

It took Su Qing more than an hour to wash Fugui'er clean. After washing it, Su Qing washed herself again. She was so hungry that she felt dizzy and had no energy to cook. She took out the food from the base restaurant from her backpack, ate quickly, and got into bed.

The temperature was even colder at night, but fortunately her house was still warm enough and she was covered with a thick goose down quilt, so she could still bear it.

"Does the system have any heating equipment?" Su Qing couldn't sleep for a moment, so he opened the redemption mall to see if there was anything in it that could solve the heating problem.

There is electricity in the base, but electric heaters and air conditioners are in short supply. She has been searching outside for a long time but hasn't found many, and there are not enough for the base to use.

"There is floor heating under the house. The host only needs to build a heating plant to solve the heating problem."

Build a heating plant? Su Qing opened the building interface and flipped through it for a while before she saw the icon for the heating plant. However, the required consumables were too many and she was still short of a lot. In addition, there was a piece of coal, which she had none at all.

"Where can we find coal? There are neither coal factories nor coal mines around here. I'm afraid it's hard to find."

"The coal distribution area has been planned, and the host can check it out."

Su Qing looked at the topographic map. There was more coal in Province S. Since there was a way to solve the heating problem, she still had to gather the supplies for the heating plant as soon as possible. If it got even colder in the future, how would the people in the base bear it?
