Chapter 89 The Last Pure Land (2) "193 Regulations"...



Not only the players, but also many viewers who had just entered the live broadcast room were shocked by the overly "lively" scene.

"Wife Gojo Satoru: What's going on?"

"Xia Ran Mengxue: Is it a riot?"

"Buye-chan~: Oh my god, I accidentally turned the volume down wrong just now, and the moment I put on the headphones, I almost got sent away."

"I'm completely addicted to Western fantasy: Me too!!! I was used to the loneliness and desolation of the last dungeon, but suddenly I was thrown into the crowd. My first reaction was that I thought I was on the wrong website."

"Clap for Love: So what is this?"

"Brother: It looks like some kind of parade or demonstration."

"Hou Li: I looked at the title of this dungeon. It seems to be called "The Last Pure Land." Could it be related to this?"

"Amorfati: Host, please show us around."

Just at this moment, Qianyue bent down and picked up a flyer from the ground.

The camera gave a close-up of the flyer.

There wasn't much text on the flyer, and the first thing you saw was a bold, enlarged title:

Protesting the Waste Disposal Ordinance, Protecting the Last Piece of Pure Land

"Garbage Disposal Regulations?" Qianyue was slightly stunned, feeling that the name seemed somewhat familiar.

A few pictures follow immediately below.

The first picture shows a starship dumping garbage, and the second picture shows a garbage mountain somewhere. There is a person standing at the foot of the mountain as a scale, and the garbage mountain behind him is at least four or five times as high as him.

The third picture shows a scene of rotting garbage, which can easily make people feel uncomfortable if you look closely.

The content of the fourth picture is more complicated. It shows the results of many scientific experiments. All signs point to the harm of garbage discharge to the planet.

Although the pictures were black and white, it didn't affect Qianyue's ability to understand the content. In fact, after seeing the first picture clearly, she almost guessed the content of the following pictures.

Because for people in the semi-interstellar era, these pictures are really familiar to people. Even those who have never been to school should have heard of them -

"The daggers are all little angels: Is this... Regulation No. 193?"

"Popeye's Spinach Can: Is that the one that treats Planet Aqua as a space garbage dump?!"

"Sprouted potatoes: Holy crap, I just learned that in history class yesterday."

More than a thousand years ago, the Earth's resources were nearing exhaustion, and the Earth's interior was diseased. People were forced to start an immigration plan and escape to space.

During this long process, human productivity not only did not improve, but even regressed at certain levels, eventually forming a technological gap.

This is why this era is called the "Semi-Interstellar Era." The word "semi" has always been a thorn in people's hearts.

In this situation, many people blindly pursue technological development, even at the expense of the environment, just as the Industrial Revolution once took place on Earth. At the same time, as the development of various planets deepens, the amount of garbage accumulated in the universe is also increasing.

Because the universe is a vacuum environment, space junk, which consists of rocket debris, abandoned satellites, and even astronauts' discarded daily necessities, will never be degraded*.

They drift aimlessly in the universe, and once they collide with other objects, they will cause violent explosions. In the early days of the semi-interstellar era, due to the excessive density of space debris, there were even many accidents where starships collided with space debris, causing explosions and ultimately killing all the crew members.

Against this background, some people have proposed a proposal for centralized recycling and disposal of space waste, also known as the "Space Scavenger" plan.

However, most of the space debris is radioactive and the cost of disposal is too high, not to mention that it amounts to thousands of tons. Therefore, "landfill degradation" has become the first choice of politicians at the top of the giant tower*.

The Earth, which has been abandoned due to resource depletion, has become the default option for this plan.

Initially, this plan was carried out in secret, but later, after the governments of various asteroids discovered this, they also began to secretly transport garbage and wastewater out.

Whether it is industrial waste or domestic waste, it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to treat it completely harmlessly. However, at that time, all the asteroids were in a period of rapid development. While more and more garbage was generated, manpower and financial resources in all aspects were also in short supply. How to deal with these garbage and wastewater became a very headache problem for them.

Now that they know there is such a low-cost way to dispose of garbage, they have also begun to think about it and try every possible way to transport the garbage from their planet.

Of course, there are also some famous planets that are unwilling to do such sneaky things themselves, so they sell all the garbage through legal means - this also happened frequently in the previous era of Earth.

Taking this opportunity, many backward planets made a fortune in the name of receiving garbage, but they themselves did not have the ability to deal with the garbage - they didn't even think about paying money to deal with it, so in the end the garbage still flowed to the earth.

Over time, the original Earth, now renamed the Blue Water Planet, has become the default garbage planet in the universe.

It was also in that year that the Federation promulgated Regulation No. 193, renaming the Earth as Water Blue Planet and officially designating it as the garbage dumping center for the entire universe.

This action completely angered the indigenous people who still remained on the Blue Water Planet.

They took to the streets to protest, march and demonstrate, but this could not stop the arrival of shiploads of garbage.

At the same time, the federal government was constantly putting pressure on them, using both big sticks and sweet treats. After experiencing despair, many people chose to surrender one after another and were forced to evacuate the earth.

Later, as the earth fell step by step and the secrets of the giant tower were exposed, people from all over the universe who learned the truth took to the streets and shouted for the protection of the last piece of pure land on the human home planet.

Eventually, the situation escalated into something more than just a simple garbage dump. Under the power of the people, the decaying towers of the old era were shaken to their core, a new regime arose, and the history of mankind since leaving Earth was rewritten once again.

If the settlement of other planets by humans marked the beginning of the entire semi-interstellar era, then the events behind Regulation No. 193 marked the true end of the Earth era, and were touted in major history books as a milestone event in which humans officially entered the semi-interstellar era.

Of course, that’s all in the past.

The four images displayed on the flyer Qianyue currently held were actual photos taken at the time. These four images were featured in nearly every history book, making them universally known.

"Yuzu: Holy crap, the last time they adapted Fufeng City for the war dungeon, it was fine, but this time they directly set the background to the '193 Regulations'. Aren't you too bold, little You?"

Because the officials of "Ten Days Plan" often use excuses such as the company is too new and too poor to officially release the game, it is affectionately (and resentfully) called "Little Broken Game" by fans.

"Sweetheart: Although this is a matter of the "previous dynasty", I have to say, how powerful must the backing be to dare to bring this up as background."

"Jinju: The boss's last name is "Qi", what do you think?"

"Changmenke: Goodness, this isn't the one I was thinking of, is it? The same Qi family that pops up when you search for "Qi"?"

"Bian Zhouzi: What? My son has an identity I didn't know about? I thought he was just a hardworking and beautiful entrepreneur?"

"Chenghua: But the other person got the script of 'If you don't start a business well, you will go home and inherit the family fortune', you wouldn't have thought =w="

"Sleepwalking~: Don't say that, it could easily lead to misunderstandings. Fengzi's own company didn't ask his family to help interfere."

"Mr. Toothless: Have you forgotten that when the game was first released, it was mentioned that this game was produced in collaboration with Galaxy Souji, just like the previous war copy?"

"Descendants: In other words, this is an official game."

As if knowing what the audience was worried about, the system prompt sounded in the live broadcast room at the right time:

"This round of dungeons is adapted from real history, with inspiration provided by the Galaxy General Administration. Thank you to the Federal Government for its strong support for this game."

"Repeat: This round of dungeons is..."

"August Cherry: It really is '193'."

"Hou Li: Official stamp, I'm relieved."

"Mango Guoer: But if this happens, the anchors will be in big trouble."

Although the 193 Incident ended with a positive outcome, during this process, Earth became a true space garbage dump, causing countless casualties.

The damage caused by those garbage to the earth's environment is also very serious. Even today, hundreds of years later, experts and scholars will occasionally come out to say that the Blue Water Planet is not suitable for production and living, and that the Blue Water Planet may explode.

All in all, this copy will probably be more difficult than all the previous copies.

Elsewhere, just as the system's official announcement finished, Qianyue felt her backpack sink slightly, and then another reminder rang in her ears:

"First day of the game."

"Planetary garbage coverage: 52%"

"Current air quality: slightly polluted."

"People with weaker constitutions are more susceptible to infection, so please pay attention to personal protection."

People with weak constitutions are more susceptible to infection, but what does it mean to be weak? Does it mean that the health value is too low, or is there some hidden data?

Looking at the still noisy crowd nearby, Qianyue turned around and ran towards the quiet street without saying a word.

According to the system prompts, the garbage coverage rate of the entire planet has now exceeded half. If her expectations are correct, many people should have suffered from minor illnesses such as rhinitis and colds.

Although these minor illnesses are not fatal, they are highly contagious. Densely populated places like this are simply the best breeding grounds for the spread of disease.

Although Qianyue had stockpiled a lot of medicines before entering the dungeon this time, there were too many unexpected factors in the dungeon. Until the last moment, she could not guarantee that her supplies would be sufficient, so it was best to stay away from trouble in advance.

But avoiding crowded places is only one of the key points in this survival dungeon. The second thing is to prepare things like alcohol, disinfectant, and air purifiers.

The most important thing is to find a suitable place to live as soon as possible.

But the difficulty lies in this link: due to the influence of garbage, deterioration of air quality is inevitable.

Most importantly, the air is filled with all kinds of stubborn germs and radiation - these things that are invisible to the naked eye but pervasive are the most terrifying.

Even Qianyue had to admit that this matter was a bit tricky.

It was impossible for her to just build a stone house like in the Dark Rock dungeon, nor was it possible for her to stay overnight in any corner of the city like in the War dungeon.

Unless you can build a radiation-resistant sterile room yourself, otherwise...

Qianyue rushed into a drugstore with its shutters half-open and knocked on the counter.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the nearest hospital?"
