Night’s Nomenclature

"There is a Yunliu Tower in the city, so what if you need to leave the city?" Qingchen asked about other things.

"Generally, it's troublesome to leave the city. You can go out, but you need a visa to go through customs." Jiang Xue replied: "It seems that because smuggling is too rampant, the tax collection agency has set up customs checkpoints. The tax agency in this world is very powerful, and it is worth it." The state apparatus is worse than the conglomerate army.”

"The tax agency is so powerful?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, not only does it have a powerful executive department, but it even has its own intelligence department, which is completely different from the outside world," Jiang Xue replied.

"What if you go through customs and go outside the city?" Qingchen asked.

"I heard that there are cloud flow towers scattered on both sides of the road in the wilderness," Jiang Xue explained: "Mechanical limbs also have larger energy storage, just like when we buy mobile phones in the outside world, they have 64G, 128G, 256G, and more. The durable ones are more expensive. Generally, people don’t have concerns about durability, so they all choose the cheaper ones.”

"Oh, it's just for people to buy and consume," Qingchen nodded.

"In the other world, many young people pursue mechanical limbs, just like some children in the outside world pursue sneakers and new mobile phones," Jiang Xue explained: "Not only that, many people also decorate their mechanical limbs, such as inlays. Graceful lines of gold, gold edges, or inlays with gems and diamonds.”

Qingchen sighed: "I understand this, it's the skin in the game..."

Jiang Xue thought for a while: "It's not impossible to understand it this way..."

Suddenly, Qingchen recalled the prisoners in Prison No. 18.

It seems that many people have gold decorations on their mechanical limbs. Gems and diamonds are rare, but there are quite a lot of gold, such as Lu Guangyi!

Qingchen asked tentatively: "Are those inlaid gold wires and gold bars real gold?"

"Yes," Jiang Xue nodded.

"Then...is the gold in the inner world the same as the gold in the outer world?" Qingchen asked again.

"It should be the same," Jiang Xue said: "The five major consortium banks in the world all issue currencies based on their gold reserves."

Now, Qingchen finally knew how to make money from the other world!

He even clearly remembered who had how much gold!

Other things may be difficult to liquidate and easily reveal their identity, but gold does not have this problem.

At this moment, Lu Guangyi may not know what he will face.

Qingchen asked: "What is the means of transportation in the wilderness? Is it also an electric vehicle?"

"The military will use diesel engine cars," Jiang Xue replied.

The diesel engine has a large burst of energy, low speed and high torque, and is more suitable for military use and heavy-duty off-road use.

Moreover, the diesel engine basically has no circuit, and can be started completely by hand cranking and pushing, which is more suitable for severe environments and climates.

Qingchen didn't expect that the other world would still use diesel engines...

Jiang Xue added: "Of course, the military also has more powerful aircraft, which use liquid oxygen armor...I forgot about armor. Rich people in the city also use aerospace vehicles as transportation, and they also use this fuel."

"Liquid oxygen methane?" Qingchen asked.

"Yes, that's it," Jiang Xue's eyes lit up.

"Aerospace fuel," Qingchen sighed again: "This is what Musk Tesla's SpaceX rocket uses now."

Jiang Xue said to Li Tongyun: "Xiaoyun, you must study hard like your brother Qingchen. You see, if I just say half a name, he can guess what I want to say."

Even Jiang Xue gradually felt Qingchen's qualities as a top student.

Whether it was the interpretation of wireless charging just now or the instant understanding that she was talking about liquid oxygen methane, it would definitely not be possible without a rich reserve of knowledge.

This was a very unique feeling, as if there was nothing this boy didn't know.

For Qingchen, the appearance of the two time travellers, Jiang Xue and Li Tongyun, filled some of his cognitive gaps.

In Prison No. 18, he couldn't ask any more questions in order not to reveal his identity as a time traveler.

After returning to the surface world, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the noisy information.

Now that Jiang Xue heard about the real "inner world", he was still a little excited.

Jiang Xue's mechanical limb clinic has people from all walks of life, so it's a good place to get information.

Qingchen suddenly asked as if he remembered something: "Then...Xiaoyun called me, does he want me to help you with something?"

Li Tongyun said: "My mother can't lift her hands. Could you please help take care of my mother for a day?"

At this time, Jiang Xue's arms were hanging down by his sides. Qingchen could tell that the other party hadn't washed his face this morning, there was eye mucus in the corners of his eyes, his hair was not combed into the usual ponytail, and he didn't prepare breakfast for Li Tongyun. He was very embarrassed.

It is really troublesome to cut off the power of this mechanical limb. In the inner world, it can be charged anytime and anywhere, but in the outer world, it has to be used sparingly.

At this time, Qingchen also remembered that there was a time traveler in Luo City before. In order to get rid of being photographed, he jumped to the top of a building several meters high. He didn't know what happened to this guy after that. Will he be paralyzed on the ground...

But this way, at least the modifiers of mechanical limbs will have some scruples in the watch world.

He looked at Li Tongyun's expectant eyes, then looked at Jiang Xue's apologetic look, and sighed: "But I don't know how to take care of people."

There is no school today on Sunday, so there is plenty of time. However, Qingchen only takes care of himself and really never takes care of others.

Jiang Xue hurriedly said: "No, no, no need to take care of me. It's just that I can't cook for Xiaoyun today. Can you help take care of her?"

It can be seen that Jiang Xue is really guilty.

Li Tongyun said aggrievedly from the side: "Brother Qingchen, please cook us some food, I'm hungry."

Qingchen smiled: "Cooking is no problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside: "Hello, is anyone home?"

Qingchen was standing in the living room. He glanced out the window and saw the mysterious organization's off-road vehicle.

"Xiaoyun, you go open the door for the guests, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you," Qingchen said and got into the kitchen and put on an apron, leaving only his back outside.

Xiaoyun opened the door, and two young men in black suits came in and said to Jiang Xue: "Hello, I am Lu Yuan. We have met before. I am from Kunlun."

Kunlun? Qingchen was stunned for a moment in the kitchen. It turned out that the name of the other party's organization was Kunlun.

Just listen to Jiang Xue say: "Please sit down, Xiaoyun, quickly pour water for the guests."

The Kunlun member asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your arm?"

"The mechanical limbs have no energy," Jiang Xue explained.

"Remember this," the young man said to his companions. He and Jiang Xue learned about the situation of the mechanical limbs. It seemed that they did not know that the mechanical limbs would still have no energy.

Qingchen, who was eavesdropping in the kitchen, guessed that the other party might be just like Jiang Xue said, it had just been established, so he didn't know much about the other world.

Jiang Xue asked: "Are you two here?"

"Oh, we want to ask something," the Kunlun member said: "There were two gangsters last night. After one of them escaped from your residence, he was attacked in the community and broke his tibia. Do you know who did this? Really? Don’t worry, we are not here to pursue legal liability, we just want to understand.”

Qingchen's heart suddenly lifted.
