Obligations of the elderly

They took a public aircraft this time. If they left early in the morning, they would arrive at noon the next day.

"Oh——" When the aircraft was about to arrive, everyone looked at the window on one side. Seeing the scene outside the window, many people who arrived in Puzhou for the first time exclaimed.

Being hugged by his brother and sitting on the seat by the window, Aji pressed his whole fat face against the glass window, and his two chubby palms were only against the glass, staring closely at the scene ahead , do not move at all.

Although Gong Si didn't exaggerate like others, but he also had a novelty on his face.

Although he had already learned about some conditions of Puzhou from the photos before departure, he was still deeply shocked when he saw Puzhou with his own eyes.

It is different from any place he has been to, how should I say it?The moment anyone sees Puzhou, they can only use "magic" to describe this continent.

At this moment, the Puzhou Continent that appeared before everyone's eyes is a continent that protrudes from the sea. The entire continent has a metallic color, glowing golden yellow under the noon sun, and light yellow rings of light are like veils surrounding the continent. , looking from a distance, it looks like the elegant veil around a fairy!

In addition, there are many small islands around Puzhou mainland, which are scattered around Puzhou with Puzhou as the center. Besides these islands, there are many floating islands in the sky!That's right!It is directly floating in the air of Puzhou!It’s not the kind of suspension car that floats on the ground for a short distance. These small islands are high and low, and the lowest is quite a distance from the ground. There is also a big hot air balloon above each floating island. Those hot air balloons are colorful. They also made very cute shapes, with stars, red hearts, and more shapes that the palace can't recognize.

Their aircraft shuttled between these small islands suspended by colorful hot air balloons.

Flying down from the high sky all the way, passing through the clouds, passing through the fog, passing through the cute islands...

It can be said that they passed by those small islands at a very close distance. Not only did they see the appearance of the island clearly, but they also saw the people on the small island!

Those islands are of different sizes, some are so small that there is only a small shop on it; some are so big that there is an amusement park on it!Seeing them passing by, the people above smiled and waved to them. This kind of friendly and enthusiastic attitude caused the tourists on the aircraft to wave to them, regardless of seeing or not, wave first and then talk, even Aji also slapped his little meat towards the opposite side without a teacher.

It seems to be a warm continent, Gong Si thought.

Not only enthusiastic, but also clean and orderly. As they entered the Puzhou mainland, they noticed that the streamer-like light bands they saw outside turned out to be "roads", invisible roads!It was too far away to see before, but after a closer look, I found that there are many cars in the "light belt"!Even without a physical roadside, Gong Si was amazed. He originally thought that the suspended subway between the skyscrapers in Dongshingu City was already quite modern, but he didn't want it to be even more powerful here!

Probably a more advanced gravity application technology?Gong Si thought to himself.

He has just entered Puzhou Continent, and he already has a new understanding of Puzhou's technological development level.

Sitting on the aircraft, they shuttled through the air for a long time, and just when Gong Si felt that something was wrong, the aircraft they were riding on suddenly stopped beside a floating island, and the voice broadcast started immediately.

"Dongmutuo City has arrived, please disembark the aircraft in an orderly manner for the passengers of Dongmutuo City at the destination."

Gong Si was stunned: "Can the aircraft go down halfway?"

Seeing that there were indeed many passengers starting to disembark from the aircraft, Gong Si hurriedly turned his head to look at the stream next to him.

"Our aircraft has actually landed a long time ago, and now it is equivalent to a large airbus, just sending people off at various destinations." Xiliu said with a smile.

"Huh?" Gong Si still didn't understand.

"When we go down at the next stop, you will know when you look back." Still smiling, Xiliu gave up.

So, after a while, when they went down, the first thing Gong Si did when he got out of the aircraft was to turn his head and look back at the aircraft he had just left. A huge hot air balloon that looks like a big mushroom. Two thin ropes extend from both sides of the hot air balloon, firmly fixing the aircraft from both sides. The Ganqing aircraft stopped flying a long time ago, and now they are flying. hot air balloon!

"As early as when we entered the airspace of Puzhou, we were fixed by hot air balloons responsible for picking up the plane. This action is equivalent to the landing of an aircraft. There is no special port of call for aircraft in Puzhou. The land here is precious and limited. The land would rather be reserved as a green space than to build a port. However, Puzhou has advanced technology. They came up with the concept of air landing. The hot air balloon will lock the aircraft and send passengers to different cities. After all the passengers leave, the hot air balloon Naturally, I will take the aircraft to dock somewhere in the air, without occupying land space at all." Xiliu said, and took out a manual for the aircraft in his hand: "There is an introduction here."

"So that's the case." Nodding, looking back at the hot air balloon in the sky again, feeling emotional for a while, Gong Si continued to move forward.

The place they arrived was called University City.

As the name suggests, it is a city composed of many universities, not only the schools of Gongsi and Xiliu are here, but also the schools of Xingyu and Malone are all in this city.

The aircraft stopped directly next to a floating island, which was quite a large floating island. Walking down the ladder built by the aircraft, Gongsi stepped on the cobbled ground, surrounded by green spaces and flower beds, and there were still There is a sign showing the name of a building ahead:

"Puzhou Institute of Mechanical Engineering? It's Malone and Amin's school."

Gong Si immediately became excited again, took out his mobile phone, he took a few photos with "click" and "click", and then sent them to Malone and Emin.

"We're here." He also wrote a message under the photo.

There are three universities on this floating island. In addition to Marlon Emin's school, there is also a sports college and an art college. Among them, the mechanical college has the largest building area.

"It looks quite impressive." While touring outside, Gongsi also sent his impressions to Malone and the others.

However, since it is a holiday now, all the colleges seem to be quite empty. There are only some cats and dogs basking in the sun on the grass outside, and they are in a lazy state.

Occasionally, some cats and dogs would defecate next to them without burying their excrement, and a small robot would fly down from the air immediately. It was also a cute shape, with two small wings on the back, and four opponents in front, each holding a Different cleaning tools fly to those excrements precisely, and use a small broom in one hand to sweep the "gold" into the dustpan in the other hand, and then use the spray in the third hand to spray the gold The place where the excrement was just shoveled was sprayed with deodorizing spray, and then left again.

The grass was clean again, turned over, and the cats and dogs on the grass changed sides and continued to bask in the sun.

The palace is amazed——

"That's okay too?"

"This is an urban environment patrol robot." Holding the Puzhou life guide that he received from the flight attendant when he left the aircraft, Xiliu read one of the pages above: "It says that only stray cats and stray dogs making garbage will not be punished." Fines, if ordinary people or people’s pets defecate anywhere on public land without cleaning them, those patrol robots just now will issue fines, the amount is very high, and if they accumulate to a certain amount, they will be asked to leave the continent.”

"So strict?" However, it doesn't affect them much, they are not people without public morality!

Gong Si thought to himself, and then looked at the huge gear ahead——

He had discovered a long time ago: In addition to the "invisible highways" like streamers all over the continent, there are also "gears" everywhere, and they are still very huge gears, especially the most among the floating islands, basically every two There are such gears between the floating islands. At first, he thought they were decorations, but this time he actually walked over and saw that it was a facility similar to a Ferris wheel, with small rooms hanging from it. , since there seems to be no passengers now, the conductor in the small house next to him is sitting in it reading a book. After confirming the destination of several people with Gongsi and his party, he collected the money and asked Gongsi and the others halfway. After confirming that the two of them are students who will come to school in the future, he said to them, "After you have a student ID card, you don't need to pay for the gear car, but other people still need to pay."

"Others" - refers to Xie Kai and others.

Then, without seeing any movement from him, the huge gear car had already started to rotate slowly, and the conductor opened the door of the nearest car to let Gong Si and others in, and then closed the door.

"I wish you all a happy life in Puzhou."

After speaking, he went to read in the small room next to him.

"This gear car... always feels weird..." Everyone was sitting on the gear car, but Gong Si always felt that something was wrong, sitting on the seat and looking around, he was still thinking about what was wrong , A voice suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Because of me? 』

Gong Si was taken aback by this sudden voice, but he soon came to his senses: it should be a person with abilities, to be more precise, a weapon was talking to him.

"You... who are you? Where are you?" Gong Si asked, looking towards the upper and lower boxes. He thought that there were other capable people who got on the gear car just now.

"Don't look, this time there are only a few of you, no one else is in the car, it's a holiday, and business is not good. The strange male voice said in Gongsi's mind: "You are sitting on me now, and I am the gear car you are sitting on." 』

Gong Si was shocked again.

"Yes, are you in this carriage?"

"Uh...Of course, there is also a case where a car is a person with ability, but I am the entire cogwheel car, and I have transformed the entire cogwheel car. The person who just sold the ticket to you is my partner. ’ said the strange male voice.

"This... this... can it still be like this?" Gong Si didn't know what to say.

"Why can't it be like this?It's just our job. ’ The male voice said: ‘Isn’t there a saying that the whole society is a large machine, and each of us is a screw on this machine. My current job is a gear car, so it’s bigger than a screw, right? 』

That's what I said, but... After thinking blankly for a long time, Gong Si really didn't know what to say.

"It looks like you are from outside. I heard that there are very few capable people outside like us, and there are many institutionalists who say that we are not up to date. Uh... you are not an institutionalist, are you? ’ the male voice suddenly asked.

"No." But he still thought it was weird, Gong Si had a strange look on his face.

It's just a metaphor that everyone is a screw, and now it's really seen that someone has turned into a screw, and he really does what a screw should do. He... he feels weird.

"Haha, this is the habit of us Puzhou people. From our point of view, this is just a job. It takes seven hours to go to work outside, and seven hours to work in the form of a tool. No, our working hours are longer than others. Two hours less, good benefits, high remuneration, good retirement salary when we get old, we can do this job if we want to do it! 』

"But, being in the shape of a vessel all the time... isn't it tiring?" Gong Si was still a little incomprehensible.

"What are you tired of?Tired is also because my partner is tired. As for me, I feel pretty good. I can chat with passengers and other devices if I have nothing to do. If it doesn’t work, I can ask my partner to read novels to me. Listen, five hours go by quickly, kiddo. 』The man said quite happily.

Gong Si really didn't know what to say.

However, the man was probably really bored, so he chatted with Gongsi for a while, and when he learned that they were freshmen from Puzhou University, his tone became full of admiration: "You are really amazing, Puzhou University But it is the most difficult university here!Even in the mainland joint entrance examination, there is no school with the highest admission score. If you can be admitted to this school, you must be very good people. 』

"By the way, your school is the only university built on the ground in Puzhou!"It is the only one in the Holy Land where every inch of land and gold can have such a large area. Every inch of land in it is extremely precious, so you should cherish it! 』

After saying this, they just arrived at the next level of the floating island. The man "automatically" opened the door for them, and then warmly sent them away.

There are Xingyun and Nilu's colleges on this floating island. The two of them are not in the same school. Xingyun went to Puzhou Medical University, while Nilu went to the Folklore College of Puzhou Cultural University. Not a school, but these two schools are on a floating island.There are two universities in the middle, which are relatively close.

As usual, Gong Si took pictures of the two people's schools, and then sent pictures to them respectively.

Afterwards, they rode the gear car twice again, and the two gear cars were still in the form of utensils transformed by capable users. Although they didn't understand why the utensils they turned into were exactly the same, but the personalities of the two utensils were obviously different from those of the previous one. , one was taciturn, and did not say goodbye to Gongsi until they got off the car, and the other answered only when they had questions, like a robot throughout.

Then, they finally reached the ground, and Puzhou University stood in front of the place where they landed. It looked no different from other universities, and even the area was not particularly large, but the gate was thick, giving people a solemn feeling.

"This is the best school in the whole continent for smelting majors." Looking at the quaint "Puzhou University" on the side of the gate, Gong Si's heart was a little turbulent.

"Their fish research major is also quite good. Puzhou is at the junction of two oceans." Xiliu smiled. He really applied for the fish research major. I really don't know what the professor in charge of that major will do when he sees the score of Xiliu think.

However, Gong Si did not interfere with his decision, let alone Xie Kai and the others, as long as their master made his own decision, and then they fully supported the decision.

Helping the two masters take a group photo at the gate of the future university, Xie Kai hugged Aji and asked his master to take a photo for himself with a serious face. The group of them planned to leave first.

↑

No way, before the start time, the school does not allow early entry.

Gong Si also deliberately inquired with the janitor at the gate whether there are dormitories in the school. He thought very well: Don't ordinary universities have dormitories?It’s good for them to live in a dormitory, and they don’t have to buy a house.

However, the answer was "no".

All the universities on the floating island provide accommodation for foreign students, but only Puzhou University does not provide accommodation, there is no way——

"I'm going to get off work after dinner. I'm the last person to get off work. When I get off work, there is no gate here, and there is only an open space inside. Where can you live!" said the uncle, eating the last bite After dinner, he glanced at the gate, yes, it was the gate with the signboard of "Puzhou University" hanging next to it, and the gate where Gongsi and the others took photos with it.

The door suddenly changed from a door to an old lady!

In front of Gong Si and his group, the old lady walked to them with her hands behind her back: "You young people, how are you!"

She greeted Gong Si and the others first, and then greeted the old man beside her: "Is my lunch box warmed up?"

"Well... this shrimp is really good, let's go to that store to buy some more today, and eat it tomorrow..."

Just like an ordinary couple, the two elderly people chatted on the small table in the security room. The old lady was eating slowly at the table, and the old man was helping her peel the shrimp.

If you ignore the disappearing gate!

Gong Si stared dumbfounded at the empty flat ground outside the security booth: He was right!Without the gate, the empty campus suddenly appeared in front of their eyes!There is nothing in it!

Really!

Gong Si was dumbfounded.
