Chapter 281 Discussion
Old people often say that it’s not cold when it snows, but it is cold when the snow melts.
The weather was abnormal, and the streets were full of awakened people and people with special abilities walking hurriedly. Ordinary people could not even see their shadows.
The heating equipment on the market is in short supply, and every time a new product is released, it is sold out before it even hits the shelves. What's even more terrible is that all of these require energy stones.
Coupled with fixed consumption such as power generation, travel, robots, and weapons, energy stones are seriously insufficient to cover expenses.
Without energy stones, the awakened can only rely on nutritious food to stabilize the strength in the body. Nutritious food is not as good as energy liquid and is consumed very quickly. After a period of time, it can no longer be bought in the trading market.
We can only place our hopes on the planting bases. However, due to the influence of the overall environment and the shortage of planters, the output of the planting bases is very limited.
So Bian Qin was scolded again and became a hot topic.
No matter how harshly he scolded her, Bian Qin would not know that their current situation could not be changed.
Interstellar managers hold a remote meeting to exchange ideas.
"Why don't we go back to our previous method and use wind, water, and solar energy to store resources? Except for the Awakened, there's no problem with electricity and transportation."
By solving the energy consumption problem, the awakened person can use energy liquid to consolidate his strength, and nutritious ingredients will naturally be saved.
Someone pedantically said, "No, this doesn't mean that the technology is backward."
This statement angered the crowd. "People are almost gone, and you still want to lag behind in technology?"
"No, it's just a downgrade."
"It's just a downgrade? Since Patriarch Wang doesn't care, why not send all the planters from your planet to support us?"
"You... aren't you just being argumentative?"
"Hmph, then please think it over carefully, Patriarch Wang, so as not to cause any misunderstanding. After the Awakener is demoted, who will fight when the mutant beasts attack the city?
Who will go on missions and collect supplies from now on? Such a lighthearted statement, it's just a level drop."
Patriarch Wang was so angry that he dared not speak again.
The topic finally returned to the original question. "It's a good idea, but the cost is too high! The existing energy box, wiring, and even some of the materials would have to be replaced."
“We can choose some.”
"That's tough. Besides, considering the current weather, I'm afraid wind and solar energy won't be able to be used."
"Don't we have psychics? If all the psychics contribute, the problem can be solved."
"That's good," someone suddenly realized. There's so much ice out there, water can solve the problem."
"Hahaha, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it before? It must be that Patriarch Chen has an idea."
"I dare not take credit for it, I still need everyone's support."
"It's you..."
Suddenly, a group of people began to praise each other.
Is this a meeting? Xie Yu twitched his lips and boredly fiddled with his communicator, chatting with Yun Xiang.
Yun Xiang felt that these people's ideas were a bit naive. It was easier said than done.
"What do you say I pour a basin of cold water over them?"
"You'll get beaten," Yun Xiang said honestly, "or else, just give them a sideways warning."
If I don’t say it, it would be a bit unreasonable. Life is so difficult now, we should help each other.
Xie Yu looked at the people on the screen and touched his nose. "I think I'd better keep my mouth shut."
"I'm afraid I won't let you go."
Sure enough, just as Yun Xiang's text message came, someone else said, "Why didn't you hear what Chief Xie said? Chief Xie, please say something."
Look at what he said, how contemptuous he is. It's obvious that he doesn't take people seriously.
Xie Yu became an official at such a young age, and he was also from the Falling Star, so it was inevitable that people would suspect that there was a connection. But they could not find any connection between Xie Yu and Wu Qian, and they were very angry.
This fully demonstrates that it is difficult to acknowledge the excellence of others.
"Why isn't Captain Wuqian coming?" Let a young boy hold a meeting with them!
After all, he was afraid of Xie Yu's identity, so he didn't say it out loud. He was not afraid of being gossiped, but was worried that it would be kept as evidence.
Ha! Are you implying that you're just a puppet? A puppet is a puppet, so be it.
Xie Yu raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Seeing Xie Yu silent, he suddenly felt ignored. "Captain Wu Qian treats people sincerely, politely, and fairly--"
"Puff!" Is this Uncle Dong? He didn't say that before, that he was willful, stingy, rude, and fickle...
"Captain Xie finally spoke up. I thought he had gone offline." Patriarch Wang had lost face before and was in urgent need of saving his image. Seeing that Xie Yu was young, he immediately had an idea.
Being young doesn't mean being easy to mess with. Xie Yu's mouth can make him so angry that he feels like he has lost the will to live.
"Oh," Xie Yu said lazily, "What do you want to talk to Uncle Dong about? He's currently studying formations and may not have time to attend the awards ceremony."
"Pfft..." Some of the silent people suddenly laughed out loud.
The awards ceremony? What does that mean? Patriarch Wang was so angry that his eyes and nose were crooked. He was like an ignorant child, "When we were young--"
He was about to show off, but Xie Yu didn't give him a chance and asked innocently, "Is it wind energy, water energy, or solar energy?"
Phew… that sounds quite rhyming. This Chief Xie is quite funny. I'm afraid Patriarch Wang may have lost more than he gained.
Everyone relies on their age and seniority to show off their experience and thinks others are fools. Anyone who gets recognized by five cents, even a child, has to think twice.
Patriarch Wang frowned. He regretted provoking this evil spirit, but once he started, there was no turning back. "Why, do you have any objections to this method?"
"It was Commander Wang who had the objection just now. What was it... Oh," Xie Yu suddenly realized, "Technology is regressing. Yes, technology is regressing!"
Xie Yu suddenly stood up and clapped his hands vigorously. Seeing everyone's surprised faces, he touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I'm too excited!"
...Speaking of which, what are you so excited about? Does this have anything to do with you? Is it because you're remembering what someone else said? That's so lame.
Everyone was speechless.
Now no one dared to speak, because the head of the Zhuixing family was not someone to be bullied. Whoever bullied him would be in trouble.
Seeing that the falling star was about to take off, they didn't want to have anything dirty with others. What if they needed help from others? Even if they came to the door with flattering faces, they would not be paid any attention.
The head of the Wang family was almost choked to death. The call of "Commander Wang" clearly reminded him that he was of the same position as him and that he should not use his status to suppress him.
Xie Yu humiliated him with his words, and Patriarch Wang completely lost face. Naturally, he would not give up. "I am only thinking from the perspective of human progress, but Patriarch Chen's proposal can indeed solve the current problem."
"Oh, and then?" Xie Yu looked like he was listening attentively, which made everyone laugh.
"What then? What then?" Patriarch Wang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
"Naturally, your choice? Will you uphold human progress, or become an obstacle to progress?"
"..." Patriarch Wang was embarrassed and stood up. "Officer Xie didn't come here to solve the problem at all. He was just stirring up trouble. In that case, I will not accompany you!"
After saying that, he left immediately. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like he was fleeing in despair.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if this was going to continue. They subconsciously looked at Xie Yu.
