Chapter 1239

The world seemed to suddenly head onto the fast lane.

Yesterday nuclear fusion, today the Space Elevator.

Zhou was piloting the aircraft, and all the way from the city center, he returned to the RV in the suburbs.

The aircraft, after a simple transformation and movement, perfectly merged with the roof.

Zhou also came down from the roof into the interior.

The interior wasn't stuffy; the RV now uses new materials that can reflect most infrared rays, and the heat insulation is also very good.

In places not prone to damage, solar panels were also added, increasing solar power generation, allowing the RV to regulate temperature via air conditioning.

Inside the RV, it's very simple and fully functional.

It is Zhou's main living place.

He is a designer; he doesn't need to go to the company twice a month, mainly working in the RV, and almost all business is conducted via the internet with clients.

Moreover, the free space also gives him more inspiration.

Not long after he returned, Luna ran out from another RV.

She pushed open the door and exclaimed excitedly.

"Dear, you're back."

Zhou opened his arms and gave Luna a deep hug.

He learned this specifically to get along harmoniously with Luna.

Two people who are not of the world need more accommodation.

Fortunately, Luna is very interested in Daxia classical literature, and he is also versed in classical design, giving them many common topics.

Not bad, Zhou is a designer, indeed an architectural designer, but his designs are not of the real world, but of the virtual world.

The company is building a Ming Dynasty city, with a high degree of historical restoration.

The company builds the main city framework, sells the residential land, and makes money.

While the residences are built by the customers themselves.

After an ancient city is built, it can earn a lot of money, such as virtual tourism, ancient life experience, film and TV shooting, game development, etc....

He and Luna are together because they connected through his expertise.

He kissed Luna, then Zhou took her hand and asked, "How was your day? Anything fun?"

Luna briefly told him, then shifted the topic to the Space Elevator.

"Zhou, the Space Elevator is about to start construction."

"We need to save money for riding the Space Elevator for tourism."

"We currently have 1.77 million; if a ticket costs 2 million, we still need to save 223,000."

"I now work as a guide in Ming City, earning a thousand a day; plus tips, on average I make 1,700."

"After a month, deducting taxes and fees, I have 50,000."

"You earn about 120,000 a month; together we make 170,000 a month, and with two months off per year, we can earn 1.7 million."

"After subtracting 200,000 for living expenses, we can save 1.5 million a year."

"Saving for two years, we'll pretty much have enough."

Zhou nodded.

"Then we should have a child quickly."

"Having children, it's best to do it before going on space tourism, otherwise it's easy to produce mutant genes."

Speaking, he recalled the radiation cloud that had spread from Yingjiang.

"We should still wear more anti-radiation clothing, and after coming back from outside, we should also wash more thoroughly."

"Although the current radiation is within safe limits, it's already double what it used to be."

"That's not good."

Luna hesitated a bit, then probed.

"Otherwise, we could use an Artificial Uterus? Use in vitro fertilization?"

"That way we wouldn't have to worry about serious genetic problems!"

Zhou hesitated a moment, then nodded.

"You didn't say before that you wanted to experience being a mother all the way through?"

Luna wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong? Did something unexpected happen?"

Zhou asked curiously.

Luna shook her head.

"Wenli said that having children makes the belly wrinkle, which is also bad; anyway, there are many downsides, especially during pregnancy and childbirth, which can cause men to develop a physiological aversion."

"So I hesitated."

That's what it was.

"Don't worry, but indeed women no longer need to make such a huge sacrifice to have children nowadays."

"I originally thought you wanted to try it out, but since you have reservations, we don't need to."

"However, prenatal education is still needed; using an Artificial Uterus, at six months the childcare center will dispatch a simulated pregnancy robot to give you one-on-one simulated prenatal education, and by then the baby has already begun to respond to the outside world."

"That's exactly the time to cultivate feelings."

"Or, at that time, you can go to the childcare center, where there will be many mothers, and you can experience the joy of pregnancy together with them."

"Of course, I have time and will also go to accompany you."

Luna showed a look of longing, while also sighing that the technology of the Big Building is truly advanced.

There, even if no war breaks out, there won't be any childcare centers, because of not Earning Money, raising children is also very difficult.

Unlike the Big Building's income, which is so much.

Who would have thought that one could make so much Earning Money in the virtual world?

These companies of the Big Building are even now reenacting the Big Building's eight-thousand-year history.

She occasionally goes back to before those eight thousand years to have a look, to experience slash-and-burn farming.

Learn a bit of the primitive lifestyle.

Only after experiencing it can one understand how hard-won present life is.

Of course, what she prefers most is the tribal conflict game.

Especially the kidnapping segment..........

Cough cough, cannot say, hehe, cannot say..........

Because they had a goal, during this time the couple has been continuously monitoring the construction status of the Space Elevator.

It is precisely this attention that allowed them to see Star Dream II at the first moment.

That is a hexagonal prism spacecraft.

It is located above Earth's geosynchronous orbit, assisting in the construction of the Space Elevator.

That week was the first time I had seen a spacecraft of such a form.

It overturned his understanding of spacecraft.

In sci-fi movies, with so many outlandish designs, why did the Heavenly Vessel choose this form?

Luna also thought that such a spacecraft was somewhat unexpected, but she still gave her own explanation that she considered correct.

「Dear, the Star Dream spaceship is designed like this, could it be because this allows for good expansion? 」

「You see, it can combine two together, also three, five combine together, even more. 」

「It can change from a small columnar body into a huge integrated body. 」

「In space, they don't need too many thrusters; perhaps five such columns, with just one thruster, would be enough. 」

「Such a structure, can it be quickly assembled and disassembled? 」

「And thrusters can be reused. 」

「Heavenly Vessel doing this must be because they think this design is most suitable. 」

「Even, hexagonal spaces can be left between these columns; if the design is precise, a cylindrical spacecraft can just fit in there. 」

「Even if the cylindrical spacecraft's mounting points are scientifically sound, it can completely form a whole with the hexagonal prism. 」

「Thus, we have a space spacecraft and also an atmospheric spacecraft. 」

「Such a combined body can perform more complex tasks. 」

「Moreover, the hexagonal prism is also very suitable as a spacecraft's structure: it is the strongest, uses the least material, and has the highest space utilization rate. 」
