Chapter 2 Ye Chuan

Seeing that the day's work was about to be completed, the weirdness of the last capsule made Ye Chuan feel relaxed again. He found that he could not understand the inner code of the white capsule at all! Moreover, the code was broken!

The so-called code break means that only part of the code has been completed. There are many reasons for this. It may be that the capsuleist gave up halfway through the writing, or it may be that external force damage caused the internal code to be damaged.

But these are not the main problems. The real problem is that Ye Chuan has worked in the workshop for three years, but has never seen such a complex and weird coding method!

A total of 1,400 pages of code! Haven’t a civilian capsule been completed yet?

You should know that civilian capsules usually end up with more than ten pages of code, and at most only a few dozen pages. What kind of primary capsules need to be written with thousands of pages of code?

Looking at the page after page of profound and difficult codes, Ye Chuan felt that he was reading the book of heaven. With his level, he could not understand any of the small codes and was completely unaware of what he said.

He took the white capsule from the card reader and looked carefully through the dim light.

The material is cold steel. After careful polishing, it will not be cold in your hand. Instead, it has a warm texture like jade. It can be inferred that no matter who created this one-star capsule, it has taken a lot of effort.

In fact, capsules are just a common name. There are many materials that can be used to make blank capsules. Plastics is just the most basic material and the cheapest. More high-end capsules often use metal.

As for the material used in this capsule, although it looks like cold steel, it has no cheapness. Ye Chuan has never seen it before.

Turning the white capsule over, Ye Chuan saw a pinhole thinner than his hair. He sighed softly. It turned out that this capsule that was extremely complicated to write was actually a waste product.

The capsules must be tested when leaving the factory. Unqualified defective products will be punched with a steel needle by the machine, which will be destroyed from the structure to the internal code. The reason for this is that people do not want anyone to make profits from these discarded capsules.

The strange capsule in Ye Chuan's hand is a typical waste product. When you see the code break on the screen, it is also the pinhole that is making a mistake.

Bang ~

Since it is a waste product, there is no value to continue to exist. Ye Chuan threw it into the scrap box under the table.

Although this needle-shaped damage can be repaired, the repair cost is extremely expensive, and no one will be too stupid to use expensive repairs to repair a civilian capsule.

Standing up, Ye Chuan came to Hu Dequan and said lightly: "Today's work has been completed. Twenty-one can be used for capsules, twenty coded damaged but the structure is complete, and fifty-nine are completely discarded."

"Thanks a lot."

Hoodquan nodded, reached out and opened the drawer, lit four or five bills and handed them to Ye Chuan.

Ye Chuan didn't say much, took the money and stuffed it into his top pocket, then took out the carton under the workbench and left Lao Hu's workshop through the back door.

"Twenty-one, twenty, fifty-nine, add up to one hundred capsules." Hu Dewang said after calculating.

Hu Dequan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Yes, Ye Chuan is good at everything, but his personality is too stubborn. He only tested 100 capsules a day, never more, never less, exactly like a machine..."

...

There was a stinky river coming out of the back door of the capsule renovation workshop. Ye Chuan turned over the carton and poured all the discarded capsules into the river. Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a match, and took a deep breath.

On the other side of the river is a white wall, inside which is Tianhe Academy, one of the 579 capsule colleges on Earth.

The green grassland, green trees, and neat teaching buildings are like a world of difference from the slums in which Yechuan is located across the river.

He still stepped on the cigarette butt on the ground and wiped it out, Ye Chuan planned to go home.

Suddenly, Ye Chuan found a white thing flashing under his feet. When he looked closely, it was the strange white capsule. Since it was heavier than other capsules, it was not thrown into the river, but was lucky enough to stay in the grass on the river bank.

"Forget it, it's just a waste capsule that I can't understand." Ye Chuan muttered to himself.

But at the same time, his head was full of strange codes but could not be swept away, as if there was a kind of magic that was pulling Ye Chuan's nerves.

What exactly is the code?

Why is it so complicated?

The 1,400 pages of code have not been completed yet to write a primary capsule. Isn’t this too exaggerated?

The same problem continued to repeat in Ye Chuan's brain, and his eyes were unable to leave the white capsule lying quietly by the river.

After thinking about it, Ye Chuan still bent down, put the abandoned white capsule into his pocket, and walked towards the opposite direction of Tianhe Academy.

...

"Oh, Ye Chuan is back, it's better to be the same as yesterday?" Li Dongsheng, who runs a grocery store downstairs, greeted Ye Chuan.

Those who live in the city, as long as they hear the word "slums", would feel as if they saw a flood of beasts and dared not get closer.

In fact, living in this slum area, people are all poor people, and they care about each other more, which is far less terrifying than those rumored outside.

Ye Chuan has lived here for five years. Li Dongsheng watched him with his own eyes from wandering on the streets to now renting a small apartment, becoming a small asset in the slums.

In that difficult winter, Li Dongsheng gave Ye Chuan a hot black steamed bun countless times. Ye Chuan still remembers that every day he would go to Li Dongsheng's store to buy fixed daily necessities, which has become a habit of him.

Nodded, Ye Chuan said, "Well, it's still the same as yesterday."

Li Dongsheng took out a plastic bag that had been prepared from the counter and handed it to Ye Chuan. Two black steamed buns cost two yuan, five cheapest Phoenix brand cigarettes, and two hard fruit candies at 80 cents. This is the fixed consumption expenses for Ye Chuan every day at noon, totaling three yuan and eight cents.

In the past, most people would probably disdain foods such as fruit hard candies, saying that eating too much sugar will make you fat. But here, cigarettes and fruit candies are standard luxury goods in slums, and obesity is even more of a luxury.

"What's the news?" Ye Chuan asked casually.

Li Dongsheng shrugged and said, "There is something happening again at the east gate. It is said that hundreds of mutant beasts have torn the people carrying food into pieces. It is estimated that the food price will rise in the past two days, and many people will be hungry."

Ye Chuan nodded and said nothing.

In fact, the earth is not a place of peace and harmony today. People live in cities, while outside the city is the world of various mutant beasts.

In 2074 AD, a rare cosmic storm swept across the galaxy. After this strange storm, humans had explosive gene mutations and their genetic power became popular. The entire earth was crazily learning capsule technology, and humans embarked on the highway of development.

Unfortunately, it is not just humans, beasts, insects, fish, and almost all living things mutated because of the inexplicable cosmic storm. By now, the mutated beasts have controlled most of the land on earth and drove the human race into the city.

As the population increases, less and less land can be used for cultivation in cities. Although there are large open spaces outside the city, they are troubled by monsters and cannot be cultivated. Therefore, the biggest threat facing humans now is food shortage.

Nowadays, manpower is worthless. No need to pay for hiring a middle-aged worker. Just take care of two full meals a day.

Even Ye Chuan, a very technical job, is just a breakfast plus a pitiful twenty yuan.

However, this situation will soon change. Ye Chuan was lucky enough to find a job as a tutor, with a salary of up to 100 yuan per hour. Ye Chuan planned to wait until he fully adapted to the new job, so he would not go to Hu Dequan's shop.

Behind Li Dongsheng's grocery store is a row of temporary iron houses. A young woman with a pretty face was walking towards the dim hut with her freckled man's arm. The young woman Ye Chuan recognized her name as Shen Bing.

Ye Chuan must admit that even though Shen Bing is a little older and has suffered from the destruction of this dark world, she still has proud capital, such as her fair thighs and plump breasts.

The man she was facing now was extremely vulgar, but Shen Bing still greeted her with a smile, although the smile was only for professional needs.

Under Shen Bing's extreme pleasing, the wretched man walked into her dark and narrow wooden house. The two of them started a suffocating piston movement, and the sounds came one after another...

"It only costs one dollar to sleep with Shen Bing once, and for you, it's only the price of a steamed bun." Li Dongsheng said with a smile, and his eyes looked at Ye Chuan, as if there was something to suggest.

The earth is now cruel and chaotic. The fragile human race maintains its fragile civilization and may be destroyed by powerful alien races at any time.

Nowadays, morality is not worth a penny. Finding a woman when she is happy or unhappy is as simple as drinking a glass of water. As for the price to pay for doing so, it is probably the lowest ever.

Ye Chuan looked at the shaking wooden house and said lightly: "A steamed bun can provide 221 calories, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of protein, 1.3 grams of dietary fiber, plus 1.1 grams of fat and 0.65 units of vitamin E. With this energy, I can live for 48 more hours."

Li Dongsheng was stunned, then smiled bitterly, looked at Ye Chuan and said, "You, you will always be different from what others think. I tell you about women, but what you think of is calories?"

"I bet, if the city breaks one day and the mutant beasts come in, you will definitely be the one who lives to the end! Because I have never seen a monster like you in my whole life!"
