Live Future 2000

Chapter 27
In the future world, most of the drinking water is recycled water. To put it bluntly, it is the urine discharged by people, the acid rain in the sky, and various treated industrial and domestic wastewater.

The natural water resources in the world have been depleted to the extent that they are scarcer than today's oil, and most of them are five types of water.

What level of water is considered to be the fifth type of water?
Generally, the yellow water used for agricultural irrigation and the water in some landscape areas such as wetlands generally belong to the five types of water.

The four types of water can be used for industrial production, or the water sprayed from the landscape fountains in residential areas and parks, all belong to the four types of water.

Three types of water can be used for fish farming and swimming.

The water released from natural water pipes, before it has been purified and disinfected, generally belongs to the second to third class water.Bottled mineral water must be taken from a first-class water source.

But in the future after 2000, the first and second types of water do not exist at all, and the scarcity of the third type of water, even in the safe zone, has enough money, it can only be supplied in limited quantities, and its value is comparable to liquid gold.

From the perspective of life extension, the effects of natural water and recycled water are the same.But the privileged class has always been trying to highlight their privileges, occupy the scarcest resources, and guide the social atmosphere for thousands of years.

There is still a large amount of fifth-class water, as long as you have money, you can still buy it in the mall, 500 sunshine coins per bottle, 300ml; fourth-class water and third-class water are specially provided for safe areas, except for residents in safe areas There is no other way to obtain exclusive channel purchases and this kind of red envelope lottery.

Among them, the three types of water are the most rare.

Local tyrants like Mo Longao mainly drink four types of water on weekdays, and the third type of water is mostly used to entertain guests.After all, at the price of 500 sunshine coins per milliliter, drinking water can really make you bankrupt.

That's right, the yellowish bottle of water that Li Lechen threw aside now, and even some froth, is worth 2000 Sunshine Coins after 15.

Judging from this price-performance ratio, if an ordinary viewer uses 30 experience points to grab such a red envelope with a second prize, it will be as exciting as winning a 100 million grand prize with two dollars.

Of course, since it is the most "pure" water since 2000, it will not look bad in appearance. The reason why Wang Dazhuang and Li Lechen think it looks a bit yellow is mainly because the outer bottle is too delicate, which makes the water not completely transparent in the first place. , it looks yellow in comparison.As for the foaming, it is the result of shaking.

But no matter what, the sudden appearance of a bottle of water was still of this color, which really shocked Li Lechen.

After a long time, the two came back to their senses.

"This one……"

"You don't need to say anything, I understand that people have three urgencies..."

Sure enough, before Li Lechen could explain something, Wang Dazhuang had already misunderstood.But on second thought, even if I let myself explain it, how can I explain it?

Well, the amount of [-] milliliters is really not a small amount, and it may not be achieved without holding it down for a long time.

But at least it shows that the kidneys are good and the reserves are large...

After this sudden bottle of water, Li Lechen no longer dared to open any red envelopes casually, at least, it was not appropriate in this public place.

Just now one bottle of water can be fooled, if more than a dozen bottles of water fell, how to explain?

bah bah bah!
There are still thirteen red envelopes left, and the luck is so bad that it is this kind of water that is too dirty to flush the toilet!No matter how exquisite its packaging is, no matter how much it is worth after 2000, in short, even now, it has to be flushed again even if it is poured into the toilet.

So, after driving Wang Dazhuang back, Li Lechen immediately returned to the red envelope opening page.

It’s not a problem to dismantle one by one or all at once, unless a flight cabin of some kind is suddenly smashed down, the living room is big enough, there is no one at home, and the crime is just right.

He chose to open the remaining thirteen red envelopes in one go.

Then, the interface began to scroll quickly.

[Congratulations on winning the second prize x 6, the third prize x 4, the commemorative prize x 2, and the thank you for participating prize x 1. The prizes are being randomly distributed]

Wait a moment!Thank you for participating, and there are prizes?Li Lechen laughed out loud.However, he has doubts about the second prize, because he is afraid that it will still be like urine.

Just as I was thinking about it, the coffee table was already filled with things. 1, 2, 3, 413, there are really 13 of them.It seems that "thank you for participating" does come with a prize.

It was not marked which ones were the second prizes, which ones were the third prizes, and which ones were the thank you participation prizes, but as I was worried, most of the thirteen prizes that came into view were that kind of bottled water.

Water, Li Lechen knows that this thing is very scarce in the future world, and it is understandable to give it to people in the future as a reward, so when he was randomly assigned a prize like water, he regarded it as "thank you for participating".

After counting, there were eight bottles of water in total. Five bottles were clean, similar to the ones in the car in the afternoon, and the other three bottles were quite turbid.

The probability of winning the second prize is high enough.

Water can only be thrown aside.

It's a pity for these eight exquisite bottles, because Li Lechen discovered in the afternoon that when all the water in the bottles is poured into the toilet, the bottles will naturally decompose, leaving nothing behind.So the bottle cannot be recycled.

Fortunately, there are four other things that are not water.

The first thing that comes into sight is a fully transparent ball about the size of a tennis ball. The ball is placed in a square box that is also transparent, which is quite delicate overall.

Look carefully at the transparent ball, there is some colorless liquid inside, which occupies about four-fifths of the space, and there are some faintly shiny small stones in the liquid.

Shake the translucent box, and the small stones in the transparent ball will float and sink in the liquid.

It's a bit trivial, since the small stones can float in the liquid, or the density of the liquid is very high, or the density of the small stones is very small.This combination of liquid and solid isn't hard to find, though.

But also a little disappointed.Because although the ball looks very delicate, it can only be regarded as a handicraft at best.Handicrafts, can't be eaten or used, and it's a bit low to give as a gift.

Perhaps, this is the "thank you for participating" prize.

Put the transparent ball aside and keep looking.

Then there are two empty bottles.

Compared with the eight bottles filled with low-quality water, these two empty bottles are much larger, similar to a 1L Coke bottle, and a little more oblate.Squeeze it, it is elastic, the wall of the bottle is relatively soft and thin, and the mouth of the bottle is not the mouth of ordinary drinks, but smaller.

Preliminary estimation, it should contain some colorless gas.As for whether it is tasteless, Li Lechen dare not try it.

let it go.

The last two things are a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a tan ball that looks like a Mai Lisu.

Li Lechen thinks that the most fancy glasses should be this pair of glasses.Although it looks very earthy, like the kind of reading glasses used by old men and old ladies, but the glasses in the next 2000 years should be a bit special, right?

Countless plots of novels flashed in my mind, all kinds of tricks, the protagonist can change his life every minute because of a pair of glasses.

Wear glasses, can you see through?
Wearing glasses, you can see through the hearts of others?
Put on your glasses, maybe you can enter a parallel space!
Really can't wait to put on the glasses!

"Um"
