Homo sapiens.

Take pizza, which was essential for the three meals of the Western Romans, as an example. The price of tomatoes is 8.5 euros per kilogram, onion is 5.3 euros per kilogram, and green and red peppers are 6.6 euros per kilogram.

This price, compared with the monthly income of the locals, is simply terrible.

Many Western Romans could no longer afford vegetables and fruits.

Sophia mailed a box of vegetables and fruits back to her parents last week.

Many Europeans working in Nemanja and Suez have recently sent food back by mail.

This is why Simmons suggested that Sofia take her parents over.

After all, this kind of mailing is inconvenient. Even Homo Sapiens' exclusive air freight is very cheap, but the West Rome postal company that is connected to it charges a lot.

Fortunately, the Europa Consortium reconciled with Lucia the year before last and obtained a large amount of cheap natural gas, otherwise it would be even worse now.

Sophia picked some storable vegetables and fruits, and asked the waiter to help them pack them up. She purchased an international air express service directly on her mobile phone, and then she could send them directly to the airport in the supermarket.

The two came out of the supermarket.

A gust of cold wind hits his face, making Simmons get goose bumps all over his body.

"This damn weather, isn't it going to snow?"

"It's almost May, it shouldn't be..." Before Sophia finished speaking, a few snowflakes slowly fell from her eyes.

Simmons shrugged: "It's already under."

"How about a holiday in a few days, let's go to the Red Sea for a week?" Sophia suggested.

"Vacation? I heard that there are many coastal cities on the Red Sea, and I haven't gone to the beach to bask in the sun for a long time." Simmons nodded.

The two planned a vacation to the Red Sea to escape the unseasonable weather.

At this time, the temperature in the entire Europa region, especially Eastern Europe and Northern Europe in the middle and high latitudes, suddenly dropped a lot, and many places directly entered winter again.

The zero-degree isotherm has been pushed to central Nemanja, central France, and Western Rome blocked by the Alps, which is slightly better.

Chapter 514 Different Encounters

the same world.

under the same sky.

However, their lives are very different from each other.

Sophia, who couldn't hold back her brother, simply used the holiday trip as an excuse to take her parents over from Naples. As for her brother who was unwilling to accept the favor of Homo sapiens, she didn't bother to care about it.

The plane landed smoothly at Naples Airport.

Simmons and Sophia, who got off the plane, looked at the depressed city, and a few brothers approached maliciously.

Simmons took out his wallet and opened his Homo sapiens employee card.

Immediately, the faces of the brothers changed slightly, and they immediately retreated to the side of the taxi, pretending that nothing happened.

As an employee of Homo sapiens company, the deterrent effect of this identity is very strong.

Since the new humans have biochips and various biotechnology applications, every employee of Homo sapiens company is not to be lost.

These Naples gangsters don't want to be targeted by Homo sapiens.

Even the people from the Black Ship did not dare to do anything to Simmons and Sophia. After all, the consequences of doing so were unbearable for their bosses behind the scenes.

Purchased tickets at the station outside the airport.

Sophia held the bus ticket and waved the ticket in her hand speechlessly: "Can't they upgrade it? It's still an antique from decades ago."

"Just let it go!" Simmons patted his wife on the back.

After a while, the bus arrived.

On the bus, there were not many people on board.

Simmons asked the old driver casually: "There used to be a lot of passengers on the bus, but now it's rush hour, so why aren't there many passengers?"

The old driver turned the steering wheel slightly: "The prices are too high. In order to save money, some people choose to walk home instead of taking the bus. By the way, they even save money on going to the gym."

"I see?"

Sophia looked at the depressed street scene outside the window, and she could only pray for it: "I hope the prices in Naples can recover as soon as possible!"

An aunt in the same car smiled wryly, "Son, don't be naive. There have been snowstorms in the east and north of Europa. Now the agricultural production there must have decreased. It will be very difficult for prices to maintain the current level."

"The recent weather is indeed too abnormal."

"Hope it heats up soon!"

"God bless Europa!"

On the bus, many people were worried.

The current technological level of natural people is indeed difficult to resist such large-scale natural disasters.

Even with artificial synthesis technology such as starch and sucrose, this technology requires a lot of energy. Before the controllable nuclear fusion power generation technology is not practical, the artificial food technology of natural people is not as good as the semi-artificial technology of Homo Sapiens. Synthetic food technology.

Of course, if the four major powers in the free world are pushed, there is a high probability that they will vigorously promote the application of artificially synthesized food technology.

As for the issue of energy consumption, at most, dozens of nuclear power plants will be added, or the amount of natural gas extraction will be increased.

The bus wobbled on the potholed road for more than 20 minutes, and finally arrived near the apartment building of Sofia's parents.

Simmons and Sophia get off the bus.

The two of them went upstairs without dragging their feet.

After knocking on the door, the wooden door creaked and opened slowly.

"..." Mother Sophia's eyes widened.

"Mom!" Sophia opened her hands and hugged her mother tightly.

Mother murmured excitedly: "Oh! That's great, Sophia!"

"Mom, Sophia, let's go in and talk!" Simmons said with a smile.

Entering the living room, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so they started chatting at once.

Simmons went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. He found that there were not many fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator. He remembered that [-] kilograms of fruits and vegetables had just been delivered by post a few days ago.

"Mom, haven't you received the vegetables and fruits we mailed?" Simmons asked with his head sticking out of the kitchen.

But the mother-in-law shook her head: "I gave some of it to my neighbors, they are too difficult."

The helpless Simmons couldn't say anything.

In the evening, uncle Matthew and father-in-law Aosta also returned home.

Uncle Matthew didn't have a good look at his sister Sophia and brother-in-law Simmons.

Especially when Sophia proposed to take his parents on a trip, he stood up a little angrily: "Sophia, what do you mean? Do you want to take Mom and Dad to that horrible hell? I won't allow you to do this !no way!"

"Brother, aren't you living in hell now?" Sophia mocked directly.

Matthew blushed: "Don't quibble, I admit that Europa has encountered a little problem now, but we have freedom."

"Hehe, freedom? Can freedom be eaten as a pizza?" Sophia sarcastically.

"I won't agree..." Matthew roared angrily.

Sophia put her hands on her hips: "Since you said freedom, then I am also free to take my parents there. My mother has diabetes and needs dialysis. Can you afford it? My brother!"

"..." Matthew opened his mouth, and then glanced at his mother who was not in a good mood, and his father who had been silent all the time, and he couldn't say anything to object.

Simmons secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the uncle has no way to refuse.

At this time, as another key point of this matter, father-in-law Aosta also slowly said: "Matthew, let me go on a trip with your mother for a while! You are under too much pressure during this time, don't be angry Fia is angry, she is also for us."

In fact, Aosta still has something to say. The money he works for can only barely cover his wife's dialysis and medicine.

The other expenses of the family in recent years have been supported by his son Matthew.

If it was the previous prices, Matthew, a small designer, could still live relatively well off with his income.

But now that prices have suddenly soared several times, and there is still a rising trend, Matthew's income is not enough to maintain the expenses of a family of three.

Now the old couple also don't want to put too much pressure on their son. If the expenses of the two are reduced, then Matthew can live a more relaxed life.

For a simple dinner, the family eats very slowly and quietly.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Sophia will help her parents pack some simple luggage, and then go to the airport.

But Matthew went to work as usual, and he didn't come to see him off.

For this stubborn brother, Sophia didn't want to say anything, so she could only chat with her parents about family issues, while Simmons went to buy a plane ticket.

Due to the 7-day vacation, the Simmons couple did not plan to go back to Nemanya, but planned to fly directly to the Red Sea.

A Phoenix passenger plane owned by Suez Airlines was parked on a special apron.

This is also a situation that airports around the world must accept at present, and that is to allow Homo sapiens' aircraft to operate independently.

Because the Phoenix airliner has a lot of secrets, in order to keep it secret, the various airlines under Homo sapiens jointly formed a global aviation ground handling company, and sent professionals to station at international airports around the world for a long time.

Naples Airport has a ground handling team dedicated to Homo sapiens, which is dedicated to overhauling and refueling the Phoenix airliner.

Soon a Phoenix airliner took off from Naples Airport.

The destination of this plane is the Hongku Port Airport in the Suez area.

As a tropical coastal city, there are many supporting tourist facilities.

Chapter 515 Car Innovation

Red Sea, Hongku Port.

As the first area in North Africa developed by Homo sapiens, there are very few traces of North Africa. The modern city, with a permanent population of more than 84, and a large number of tourists, make this place very lively.

Of course, the hustle and bustle inside Homo sapiens company is not the kind of crowd.

A subsidiary of Homo sapiens company's Entertainment Division, there is a subsidiary called "Travel Data Network", which is responsible for one task, which is to evaluate the tourism index of various regions.

The so-called tourism index is a reference index formulated according to the scale of a city's infrastructure, service staff, and tourist facilities.

For example, the port of Hongku, where Simmons and Sophia's family came, has a local tourism index of 2.6.

2.6 means that the local area can only receive a maximum of 2.6 foreign tourists every day, because the exclusive guest house + staff hotel + foreigner hotel here have a total of 1 rooms.

As for why the scale of the hotel is not expanded, the reason is that it is not necessary, and doing so will waste resources.

Homo sapiens' approach is not to expand the scale of the hotel, but to rationally divert traffic and avoid tourists from congregating in a few cities.

When Simmons and others got off the plane, they felt a heat wave rushing towards their faces.

He had never been to Hongku Port for tourism before, but because it is the industry of Homo sapiens, many things are similar with minor differences.

On the side of the airport is the rental station.

"Sophia, mom and dad, wait for me here, I'll drive over here."

"Ah."

Simmons walked into the rental station, and when the waiter saw him coming in, he stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, what car do you need?"

Considering that four people need to be transported, Simmons asked, "An SUV."

"No problem, here is the list." The waiter projected a large list of SUV models and car rental fees.

After watching for more than ten seconds, Simmons asked a little strangely: "Huh? Why is there no gas car?"

"Gas vehicles have been phased out, and now electric vehicles are used." The waiter explained with a smile.

"Why? Charging electric vehicles is too troublesome, or gas vehicles are more suitable."

The waiter continued to explain: "Don't worry! We are not using plug-in electric vehicles, but liquid-filled electric vehicles."

"Fluid filling? Charging electrolyte?" Simmons asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, the Suez branch and the Numidia branch are the first batch of pilots."

"Thank you, just this Obsidian 5!"

"Okay, wait a moment." The staff quickly entered instructions on the operation panel.
