"Oh my god! The garbage, it's all garbage. How much of this garbage is there?"

The scene in front of him made Lan Mengxin exclaim. m.slk.tw

"Can't imagine?"

A voice said beside him: "Actually, this land with an area of ​​more than 300,000 square kilometers is full of such colorful and colorful garbage. Its average thickness is more than 200 meters, and its total mass exceeds 100 billion tons. This is the human beings living on this planet. After entering the industrial age, all the waste generated in the past millennium, including industrial waste, nuclear contaminated soil, and domestic waste ... Almost all of it was piled up here. The number of 100 million tons has increased ... "

"There is no grass in this area, the air here cannot breathe, the water cannot drink, and the concentration of nuclear radiation is higher than in any area. This is the dirtiest, most poisonous, and the worst environment in the entire planet."

"There is no hope for this place."

"Here, zone 0."

The aircraft was illuminated with bright lights, separated by a glass cockpit, through the gray atmosphere with less than 100 meters of visibility and various particles suspended in the air, looking at the height of the seats below, including old clothes, worn shoes, and waste Tens of millions of electrical appliances, broken copper and iron, various plastic products, car wreckage, old tires, etc. can be called the garbage ocean of the "garbage museum" ... Zhou Ming said with shock in his eyes.

"Zone 0?"

This planet, there is a mysterious zone 0?

Lan Mengxin was very surprised, she had never heard of this place.

"Yes, zone 0."

Zhou Ming nodded: "It can be said that if there is no Zone 0, this garbage will be distributed everywhere on this planet. Even if it is a paradise island that is as beautiful as heaven, it will be disturbed by the problem of garbage. The scenery, against the background of these garbage, will also be discounted. "

"In addition, most of the planet ’s clean, beautiful and non-polluting original ecological environment can only be maintained for a long time because of the existence of this area. Once this area is closed or becomes ineffective, the planet ’s Everywhere, they will start to be occupied by various garbage ... "

"It can be said that without the trash can in Zone 0, the quality of life in any zone of the planet will decline by several grades."

"Here is the conscience of this planet."

The man's remarks made Lan Mengxin open his mouth and couldn't help saying, "Can all the garbage be piled up together? Can't we build more garbage disposal stations all over the place? Isn't this a centralized treatment and pollution?" It ’s too serious and too inconvenient. "

"No, these garbage can only be processed in a centralized manner."

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "In fact, due to the degradability of this planet, many wastes produced by humans are becoming increasingly powerless and difficult to degrade naturally. It can only be disposed by the waste producers themselves. Decentralized treatment will not reduce costs, but will Secondary pollution can only be handled cleanly if it is concentrated. "

"And did you know? In order to collect these wastes, before the creation of the money empire, the master had invested tens of millions of manpower and cleaned up for fifty years, and then released two" garbage removal projects "in succession. Basically clean up all garbage. "

"Neither do you underestimate the ability of human beings to make waste. Now on this planet, only Area 52 and the Noble Zone of Paradise Island are the main sources of waste. With a population of more than 200 million, 200 million tons of waste are produced every year, an average of one ton per person. What if there are 1 billion or 10 billion people making waste on this planet? How much waste will be generated each year?

In terms of the processing capacity of the zeroes in Zone 0, how many times must the number of people be expanded to allow the speed of waste disposal to catch up with the speed of waste production? Achieve a break-even? "

Return to zero?

Is it ...

Hearing this term, Lan Mengxin suddenly felt shocked and immediately thought of something. He asked Zhou Ming, "Do you mean that those who are zeroed and brought by the zeroes are this Zone 0?"

"Otherwise, why is it called District 0?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "The main force responsible for cleaning up garbage in Zone 0 is those who return to zero. Zone 0 is the destination of those who return to zero, the one that can never leave."

"Oh my god!"

Lan Mengxin exclaimed, covering his mouth: "The original people were sent to this **** ?!"

The ending of those who have returned to zero is really miserable!

"No, no, you are wrong."

Zhou Ming raised an index finger and shook his head: "It is true that the return of the zero returner is miserable, but in fact, except for the worse living environment, the other aspects of Zone 0 are not particularly bad."

"Instead, Zone 0 is the zone with the lowest survival competition pressure and the highest average happiness index among all zones on the planet."

The highest happiness index?

The word made Lan Mengxin wonder if she had auditory hallucinations, or was someone nonsense?

Apart from pessimism and despair, how can there be any happiness in this area?

Even if a person with a more optimistic personality and a stronger mind will live in this area for a week or two, I am afraid he will think about himself and get out of the sea of ​​suffering sooner?

Also the highest happiness index?

Do not joke! They are already so miserable, you have to gloat over them.

"You do not believe?"

Seeing Lanmengxin's face full of unbelief, Zhou Ming smiled slightly and drove the aircraft. He flew in a certain direction in the gray sky and said, "I will take you to observe the residential areas of the zero returners. In a moment, you can understand what I mean. "

...

After half an hour.

The edge of the garbage sea below suddenly sags downwards. Under the steep **** with a height difference of more than 100 meters, an empty flat land appears in the field of vision.

This flat land has an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers.

The flat surface has criss-crossed and densely tracked indentations, which seem to be repeatedly crushed by some tracked vehicles.

In the thick gray fog, the harsh sound of "Kala Kala ~" came from a crawler-type vehicle drilled out of the garbage sea, waving a huge bucket-type robotic arm, with a huge bucket behind, The bucket is full of garbage ... A garbage truck with a length of more than fifteen meters, transported hundreds of tons of garbage at a time.

The destination of the garbage truck is tens of kilometers away. The huge waste treatment plant. There are a total of 8 such plants in Zone 0, each of which covers an area of ​​more than 10 square kilometers. The core device of the factory is the central area. A nuclear fusion power station with a power generation capacity of 10 million KW. The huge power generated by the power station is enough to meet the energy needs of processing 200 million tons of various types of waste every year.

Soon after the garbage collection truck entered the factory, hundreds of tons of garbage were poured into a huge funnel-shaped container. The "buzz ~" shredder was started. The garbage in the funnel container was turned by a high-speed rotating nano diamond knife It was cut into garbage blocks of various sizes and the maximum size of adult fists. These garbage blocks were sent into the factory through a long transmission belt, and the garbage sorting process began.

The projection display screen of the aircraft console appeared a picture inside the factory.

Zhou Ming pointed to the worker standing on the assembly line, wearing protective clothing and sorting garbage: "This is called in-plant workers. There is no need to complete heavy manual labor, just sort it out and stand on the stream for 8 hours a day. You can get a salary of about 300 credit points. "

When the picture changed, he pointed to the garbage collection vehicle that was driving into the parking lot. After stopping, the man who got out of the car said: "This is called a factory worker, just drive the collection vehicle outside the factory and put Those garbage can be transported to the factory, the technical content is not high, and each run can earn 5000 credit points. "

"In addition, the price in the factory is not high, 10 credits per liter of water, a compressed nutritious meal that is enough to eat, as long as 20 credits, the most expensive is protective clothing, repair costs are 300 to 1,000, buy a new one It costs about 10,000. Others such as accommodation, electricity, medical and other expenses are not very high, and the average day does not exceed 150 credits. "

"Workers working in this factory, if they only maintain the most basic survival needs, can only work 15 days a month, and they can work and rest for a day."

"If it is an out-of-factory worker who does not experience major failures in his collection vehicle, he can earn about 2,000 credits for every trip, and such a trip usually takes no more than two days."

"So, the survival pressure of Zone 0 is relatively small. People with hands and feet will not starve to death as long as they are not lazy."

"As for why the happiness index is high, you can see the family life of those who have returned to zero in the factory living area."

As soon as the lens turned, the projector played another scene.

Factory living area, a family of five, a picture of daily life.

Because the projector can play foreign sounds, Lan Mengxin first heard a burst of laughter.

The family is discussing a topic.

It is the topic of buying a refurbished learning machine for the youngest son.

This refurbished learning machine was built six hundred years ago, but under the superb repair skills of the repairman, after replacing two damaged parts, the learning machine can still be used.

In addition to the learning machine, there are many household appliances, electronic products, antique TVs, computers and other items that can be used in repairs, as well as various books, antiques and toys.

But the most popular ones are actually cassette radios, MP3s, various game consoles, DVDs, movie discs and other items before the nuclear war ... These items turned out in the garbage brought to the people in Zone 0 Endless fun.

Around these interesting "garbage", the people in District 0 used most of the free credit points on these garbage.

There have even been a group of "repairers" who specialize in collecting, sorting, researching, and repairing these wastes. These repairers have become the most popular in District 0 with their first-hand skill in repairing and restoring the original functions of waste. , A group of people with the highest income.

Thanks to the efforts of the "restorers", many cultural and artistic works such as music, movies, games, novels, etc. before the nuclear war were able to reproduce the world and enrich people's spiritual lives.

In the end, the parents of this family decided to take out 10,000 credit points, buy the refurbished learning machine, and told the youngest son to only learn the knowledge inside, not to play the small games inside, otherwise they will learn The machine was confiscated and he was not allowed to play.

"Long live Mom and Dad!" The little boy jumped up happily, and his brother and sister were also excited, whispering to discuss, after the learning machine was bought, they each played 2 hours each day.

The happy picture of the family made Zhou Ming sigh: "Everyone assumes that the zeroes are the most desperate and hopeless group of people ~ www.readwn.com ~ But on the contrary, they are very lucky."

"There is too much **** in District 0, and as many as those three or four million people, there is no need to worry about unemployment for thousands of years, and the master does not want these people to reduce on a large scale, and the treatment is not low."

"And the so-called garbage, the garbage that people dislike, is not the indifferent selfish, greedy and hypocritical people, the conscience and the truth, goodness and beauty that have been abandoned?"

"But no one thought that these conscience and truth, goodness and beauty, those emotions and art, were even picked up by those who returned to zero in the garbage dump. They were restored like treasures and collected at high prices."

"What irony is this, and what subversion?"

"Perhaps only when we glimpse the whole picture of this world will we understand who is truly rich and who is truly poor in this money empire."

boom!

Lan Mengxin's eyes widened, a huge roar in his head, his inner shock, it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
