Chapter 193 What to Trade?
[Trading system successfully linked]
Do you have a trading inquiry? Would you like to view it immediately?
...
At first, Xi Yue thought the voice came from the computer, but after checking her social media and notifications, she didn't see any trading system or trading information, so she realized it wasn't the computer.
Then she focused for a while and finally realized that something was bound to her head.
Although somewhat surprised, the technology of the Federation's interstellar space was very advanced, and the technology for implanting chips into the human body was very mature. Xi Yue thought that she had been implanted with a chip without her knowledge, so she started touching her head to see if there were any signs of an implanted chip, but there were none.
She was a little unsettled because if a chip had been illegally implanted, she could report it to the Federal Bureau of Justice and have them arrange for a professional technician to remove it.
However, now that the option of chip implantation has been ruled out, she has no choice but to believe that there is a technology more advanced than the current federal chip implantation, which has bound this system to her head.
She focused her attention on reviewing the so-called trading advice.
I can trade food, clothing, and other useful items here. What do you need? And what are you planning to trade?
Food? Or household items?
Xi Yue stared at the word "food," feeling somewhat tempted. However, she didn't have anything to trade right now. Was she supposed to use the previous trashy trade? Would the other party refuse?
With this in mind, Xi Yue really wanted to eat, but didn't reply to Ning Xuan immediately.
She looked up at the mountain of garbage in front of her again. She decided to pick up the garbage first and then use what she could to trade for food.
You can also sell it to the Energy Recycling Bureau. The Federal Interstellar Energy Recycling Bureau is officially run, and the prices are uniform, so there's no risk of being scammed. This is one of the reasons why Xi Yue was persuaded by the old lady.
Although it's called the Energy Recycling Bureau, it's actually just a garbage recycling station. Some people throw away things that are still usable but they don't like, while others can be disassembled and remanufactured even if they're no longer usable.
Some people even use crystal cores with some residue, but those with good conditions don't care and just throw them away. These residual crystal cores can also be extracted, so garbage recycling stations sound better as energy recycling.
The family didn't try to kill Xi Yue. They even let her bring her protective suit and gloves, which were the most basic equipment and of average quality, but they were enough for the garbage planet with its radiation.
Xi Yue checked her gear, put on her protective suit, and finally began to search through the mountain of garbage in front of her.
The empty nutrient solution bottle can be recycled; one empty nutrient solution bottle is worth 0.5 star coins.
Most ordinary families will collect the empty nutritional supplement bottles and tubes, and take them for recycling once they have accumulated a certain number. Those who simply throw them away are usually people who are not short of money, find it troublesome, or accidentally throw them away with other garbage.
Regardless, finding a recyclable piece of trash on her first try boosted Xi Yue's confidence.
She put the empty bottle into a compressed package, which was a small, space-saving device with a cubic meter of space inside. This was a reward she received from her school for getting good grades.
Her older siblings had high-end space buttons bought for them by their family, with a capacity of over a hundred cubic meters, capable of holding a lot of things, and even a center-weighted mecha. They completely looked down on Xi Yue's lowest-level compressed package, which is why Xi Yue kept it.
It might be small for others, but it's enough for Xi Yue right now.
She continued searching and found a gold nugget the size of her palm. This was just an ordinary metal material in the Federation Interstellar Space, with decent ductility. However, the Federation Interstellar Space now had materials with better ductility, and many planets in the Federation Interstellar Space were rich in gold mines, so the price of gold was quite low. The recycling bureau's price was 10 star coins per kilogram of gold. She probably had a little over 2 kilograms of gold, so she could make a little profit.
Xi Yue didn't mind at all and happily put it back into the compressed file.
After searching for a while, all I found were rotten plant roots and stems. If they weren't rotten yet, I could take them to an appraisal agency for testing.
Due to a massive energy burst in the galaxy 200 years ago, the entire Kurt system is currently experiencing energy storms and radiation. Fortunately, the extent of the damage varies, with the inner ring stars experiencing the least damage and radiation, while the outer ring stars have higher radiation levels, though some have relatively low levels. For some unknown reason, the garbage stars all have lower radiation levels within their outer rings.
Unfortunately, junk planets have no usable energy sources and are unsuitable for habitation. The cost of building facilities and transporting supplies to these planets is too high, so these types of star systems can only become junk planets.
Fortunately, the radiation on the garbage planet was low. Otherwise, someone like Xi Yue, who only had a low-level anti-radiation suit, would not have been able to land on the garbage planet at all. Various energy storms and radiation would have torn her to pieces instantly.
Because of that energy explosion, the plants in the interstellar world were mutated to varying degrees and contained radiation. The nutrient solution they drank was extracted from plants with relatively low radiation energy.
If ordinary people really don't want to take nutritional supplements, they can cook these mutated plants directly to eat, but they can only eat those with a radiation level below D. They also need to get detoxification injections regularly, otherwise the toxins formed by various radiation mutations will accumulate in their bodies for too long and cause a lot of trouble.
Another popular job for Star Citizens is harvesting: collecting plants with low radiation levels and taking them to the Identification Bureau for testing and recycling. The lower the radiation level, the higher the recycling price.
However, these plants mostly live in harsh environments and face fierce competition, so Xi Yue is not capable of doing this job at her current level.
Fortunately, most people dislike scavenging and won't do it unless absolutely necessary. Also, there are many trash stars, so although scavenging can make money, the competition isn't that fierce.
Xi Yue has been on Star 736 for a while now, and has only encountered two people in this mountain of garbage. Fortunately, the quantum computer can be activated for real-time monitoring, so no one will attack others indiscriminately. If an attack is made, the quantum computer will immediately transmit the monitoring footage to the nearest security bureau, and security personnel will arrive at the location coordinates in a high-speed spaceship.
Therefore, the crime rate among ordinary citizens of the Interstellar Federation is very low; the main dangers come from energy storms and space pirates.
After rummaging around in this corner for a while, she found another piece of gold. This one was even bigger, about the size of two of Xi Yue's palms, and quite heavy. Xi Yue had some difficulty lifting it with one hand.
