Chapter 489 Entertainment Facilities
All the rocket debris was salvaged, and there was so much of it that it was like a small hill. Except for the boosters, all other parts were basically here. This means that the rocket had not yet flown out of the blue planet before it accidentally fell down.
People in Yunhai City also found human tissue among the rocket fragments, indicating that the people in the rocket were no longer intact.
By launching a rocket at this time, Yu Jie guessed that the United States must be trying to find other habitable planets in outer space and escape from the Blue Planet.
Judging from the materials used to make rockets in the United States, the situation in the United States should not be very good.
No matter how poor the United States is, it is not so poor that it cannot even produce aluminum alloy and has to use ordinary steel to make rockets.
The fact that they are forced to use ordinary steel to make rockets can only mean that the United States has run out of existing steel metal, and they have no choice but to settle for the next best thing and take the risk of using ordinary steel to make rockets.
In today's environment, there are only two reasons for consuming a large amount of metal materials. The first is to build safe houses, such as building underground cities, which require a large amount of steel. The second reason is to build transportation.
Yu Jie suspected that the United States must have used all the steel to make rockets. Before this, the United States must have launched several rockets, but only this time the rocket fell into their Xia country.
It was unknown whether the rockets launched by the United States in the past few times had been successful. Yu Jie thought for a moment, took Lu Lanshan back to the underground city, and sent the matter to the capital, asking the capital to find a way to pay attention to the movements of the United States.
She did not persuade the capital to build rockets to explore new planets. Xiaguo had already been searching for a second planet suitable for human survival before the natural disaster. After so many years of searching, it has not yet found a planet suitable for human survival.
Exploring a new planet is a time-consuming, labor-intensive and material-intensive task. They need to first ensure that all the survivors of Xia Country can live and work in peace and contentment before slowly exploring the new planet. Otherwise, they will be like the United States, running out of materials and unable to fly out of the blue planet.
The news of the US rocket crash spread quickly in the surrounding cities. Many survivors knew that the US launched a rocket and guessed that the US might be looking for a second blue planet. Some people laughed at the US's wishful thinking, while others hoped that Xia could also launch a rocket to take them away from this disaster-ridden blue planet.
While the survivors were discussing US rockets, Xia Xiaoman had already learned how to operate a helicopter. After only a few actual operations, he could go to other cities to deliver goods.
After setting the time for the test flight the next day, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan and Nini to the science museum and let them play with the three wolf cubs for two hours before going home.
It has been almost half a year since the wolf cubs were born. Normally, wolf cubs of half a year old would not be too attached to their mother wolf. But perhaps because there were no other wolves in the science museum, the three wolf cubs were very excited every time they saw Maodan and Nini coming over.
On the way to the Science Museum, Xia Xiaoman saw an electronic bulletin board on the side of the road advertising recruitment for psychologists.
Recently, more and more people have committed suicide due to psychological problems. Xia Xiaoman couldn't understand why someone committed suicide after having survived such a difficult natural disaster and entering the dungeon that everyone fought so hard to enter.
She told this question to Director Hou. Director Hou smiled and said, "This is a very normal situation. In fact, many people committed suicide before entering the underground city, but at that time people were scattered and the news was not passed, so you didn't know."
"For many people, entering the dungeon is a hope and a goal, a belief they pursue. But when they enter the dungeon and find that it is nothing special, they will feel disappointed."
"Especially for those who are alone, have no friends, no family, and no entertainment facilities. They live a life of going to and from work every day. When they lose their goals in life, they will get stuck in a dead end and drive themselves to death."
Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows when she heard the word "entertainment facilities". She had always felt that the underground city seemed to be missing something. After hearing these words, she realized that the underground city had no entertainment facilities at all. Even the science museum was mainly for learning knowledge, and viewing animals was secondary.
Thinking of the crew members who were always worried about the fleet having no work to do, Xia Xiaoman and Director Hou said goodbye in a hurry.
After returning home, Xia Xiaoman immediately contacted Li Yu'e, Sun Qing and others. Soon, the living room was full of people.
Xia Xiaoman briefly recounted her conversation with Director Hou today. "There are no entertainment facilities in the dungeon right now. If we develop some small games on mobile phones, or rent a site to build some entertainment facilities, we might be able to make a lot of money."
"Develop small games?" Li Yu'e frowned, "We don't seem to have the technology for this."
Xia Xiaoman said: "It doesn't necessarily have to be about developing small games. Everyone can do something that can be entertaining and profitable based on their own expertise."
"It's something that can entertain and make money... Then why don't we open a chess and card room!" Li Yu'e looked at Sun Qing and the others, "No gambling, just pure entertainment. The charge is 5 points per hour."
"Each of our families lives in a big house, so we keep one or two rooms for ourselves and turn the rest into chess and card rooms."
Xiao Zheyu thought for a moment and said, "If there is no gambling and no chips, some people may not come back to play after playing once or twice."
Things like chess and card games are not difficult to make. If you don’t want to gamble, you might as well invite a few people you know to your house to play.
Ye Xiaojie said, "We can make our own chips, some that can only be used in our chess and card room."
Xiao Zheyu frowned and said, "Isn't this gambling? The authorities won't agree to it."
Ye Xiaojie shook her head. "No, the chips we make are just like happy beans. They can't be exchanged for points, but they can be used to buy prizes. We offer some prizes every day, such as chicken, bath gel, clothes, shoes and socks, etc. Those who want these prizes can exchange them with chips."
Sun Qing gave her a thumbs up and said, "This is a good idea. We have so many rooms, we can divide them into different levels. Ordinary customers are on the first and second floors of Building A, bronze customers are on the third, fourth and fifth floors of Building A, silver customers are on the first and second floors of Building B, and so on."
“Each class of customers is treated differently, which makes customers curious about the treatment of higher-level customers. They will come to the card room frequently in order to become high-level customers.”
Li Yu'e nodded in agreement. "In addition, we can also apply for membership. Ordinary customers who do not apply for membership can get 50 chips when they come for the first time. If you apply for membership, you can get 100 chips. The more points a member recharges, the more chips he will get."
The more they discussed it, the more Li Yu'e and her friends felt that the idea of opening a chess and card room was feasible.
They didn't have space before, but now every household has a four-bedroom flat. With a little cleaning, each family can make two or three rooms into a chess and card room.
