Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 11 [With that little salary, what's the point of playing with your life]

How to solve the problem of "illegal household" on Blue Star gave Xiao Yu a headache for a while, and this problem was really not so easy to solve.

Since I have no connections or resources on Blue Star, I can go directly to the local government department to register my identity. If they ask about my original identity, address and other information, I probably won't be able to lie. If I check the file information and find that there is no such person, I can quickly conclude that the person is either lying or has some hidden agenda.

Xiao Yu put on a breathing mask and went out of the house to walk around. Walking on the streets of the small town, he found that the life of the lower class people on Blue Star was very hard, and it was not easy to just achieve food and clothing.

"It seems that the polarization between the rich and the poor in the Central Continent Kingdom of Blue Star is very exaggerated..." Xiao Yu said in his heart. He looked at the many people in the town who were working hard to fill their stomachs, and there was no light in his eyes.

What Xiao Yu found ironic was that when he thought of the Tiandu City in the short video he had watched before, the huge city of Heaven stood high in the clouds, with an auspicious atmosphere. The people living in the favorable environment of Tiandu City were carefree, which formed a sharp contrast with the lower-class masses here.

This information allowed Xiao Yu to come to another conclusion. He became more and more convinced that on Blue Star, at least in the Central Continent Kingdom, it must be a country where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

After a while, Xiao Yu received some unexpected news.

It turns out that the Kingdom of Central China is not a peaceful and prosperous place. There are many armed forces rebelling against the Kingdom. Many people who have fled from the war zones have become displaced persons and refugees, and they are moving towards the core control area of the Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Heaven cannot ignore them, nor can it drive them away excessively, otherwise these refugees and displaced persons will become rioters and further strengthen the rebel forces.

The Kingdom of Heaven will order the local city officials who have received an influx of refugees to be responsible for comforting and resettling these people.

"Disguising myself as a refugee fleeing from a war zone is a good idea. It's difficult to verify information in a war-torn area. It shouldn't be a problem to make up a self-consistent but unverifiable story and get an identity." Xiao Yu thought secretly and immediately decided to do this. Apart from this, he couldn't think of a better way than this with his limited conditions.

Xiao Yu opened the holographic bracelet to check some relevant information, and then locked onto a city called "Zhao'an". 700 kilometers northwest of the city was the war zone. Many people fled from there to Zhao'an City. News reports said that the city was also accepting refugees from other places.

"That's it." Xiao Yu made up his mind and did not hesitate. He planned to leave Qingyang Town and go to Zhao'an City.

Xiao Yu spent two thousand star dollars to buy a hover motorcycle. The learning cost of this means of transportation is not high, and there are no barriers of writing and language. Almost anyone who can ride an electric bike on Earth can ride a hover motorcycle.

About two hours later, Xiao Yu packed his bags, bought some oxygen and food, and left the town. He followed the map navigation to Zhao'an City, which was about 270 kilometers away and could reach his destination in about three hours' drive.

Xiao Yu stayed for a while on the way out of the town. Based on some pictures and text information on the Internet, including some news photos, he also dressed himself in a refugee style based on the image of refugees.

On the way to Zhao'an City, Xiao Yu saw the scene in the wild: "After walking hundreds of kilometers, how come there is not even a little vegetation in the wild? The terrain doesn't look like a desert Gobi..."

As for animals, there was not a single hair to be seen. However, considering the current atmospheric environment of the Blue Planet, it is impossible for there to be any animals. Even if there were, they would die from poisoning due to excessive inhalation of carbon dioxide.

Xiao Yu thought that the carbon dioxide concentration in the Blue Star world should have risen sharply in a short period of time. It must have been similar to that on Earth before. If it was a long process, then the natives of the Blue Star should have been able to evolve a physique that could adapt to this environment and would not need to wear breathing masks.

The current world of Blue Planet is probably due to some reason, which has led to a global mass extinction of species and even changed the composition and structure of the Blue Planet's atmosphere, causing a surge in carbon dioxide levels, making it impossible for organisms to breathe and facing large-scale extinction.

As intelligent life forms, humans on Blue Planet have developed advanced technology. They use technical means to isolate outdoor air, and the air produced through industrial technology can reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide, allowing normal breathing.

This has also changed the lifestyle of humans on Blue Planet. They have to wear breathing masks and carry oxygen bags when going out, and their homes have to be closed off from the outside. Air is no longer free, and they have to pay to breathe it.

Xiao Yu didn't care too much about it. After all, as a human being on Earth, he was definitely an alien here.

Although the technology on Blue Star is much more advanced than that on Earth, the environment on Blue Star is far inferior to that on Earth. Xiao Yu did not plan to live on Blue Star. He just wanted to be a "two-world porter" quietly, using the technological advantages of Blue Star to expand his business on Earth. More than three hours later, Xiao Yu arrived at Zhao'an City smoothly, and it was already visible to the naked eye.

As they got closer and closer to the city, they saw that refugees continued to come to the city as reported in the news, and Xiao Yu decisively and quietly integrated into the crowd.

Soon after, police officers from Zhao'an City were in charge of public security, and some on-duty personnel guided the refugees into a huge, fully enclosed temporary camp. The structure was similar to a greenhouse, but it was very large and isolated from the outside air. People could breathe normally without wearing a breathing mask because purified air would be continuously released from inside.

Xiao Yu, disguised as a refugee, silently followed the others into a temporary camp, and received some food made from industrial starch, which also contained basic trace elements needed by the human body.

The food they received was not enough to fill them up, but it could ensure that they would not starve to death. Because if they could fill themselves up, many people who were living on the poverty line would just lie down and wait to receive relief food.

As for fresh fruits and vegetables, poultry eggs, meat and the like, forget it, as these foods are expensive luxuries on Blue Star.

Ordinary people can't afford to eat it several times a year, and usually rely on industrial starch as their staple food, which is not cheap either. For the lower-class people here, more than half of their income is spent on buying food as fixed expenditure.

Xiao Yu took off his breathing mask, sniffed the food he received, and then silently put it back into his pocket. He looked as if he was reluctant to eat it, but in fact he really couldn't eat it.

About half an hour later, Xiao Yu discovered that a group of people had run to the refugee gathering point.

It turned out that there were factories here recruiting workers. These homeless refugees were cheap labor, and most of those who were able to escape were young and middle-aged people.

The refugees immediately rushed forward, all vying to take a job. Some were even willing to do it as long as they were paid 200 star dollars a month with food and accommodation provided. Many industrial production activities can be done by machines, but if the labor cost is lower, the bosses would be more willing to hire people.

Obviously, these refugees have no bargaining power, and bosses certainly like such cheap labor.

Xiao Yu naturally would not apply for the job. He instead found the identity registration office and waited in line for more than two hours before it was finally his turn. As expected, he successfully obtained the legal identity of Blue Star.

And it was even simpler and more direct than he had imagined. The staff in the office only asked Xiao Yu in a formulaic manner about where he was from, what his occupation was, and other information.

Then they went straight to the registration process without verifying the authenticity of the information Xiao Yu had given them. They quickly completed the process without caring whether there were spies or the like who had infiltrated the process.

Even if there really are rebels and they are identified, the people in the office will pretend not to notice. If they are really exposed, they will probably be killed on the spot. With such a small salary, what's the point of risking their lives?

However, this allowed Xiao Yu to obtain the legal status of a citizen of the Central Continent Kingdom very smoothly.

About three hours later, Xiao Yu confirmed that his identity had been activated. Now he could go to major cities in the Kingdom of Heaven, including Tiandu City, but he had to have money.

Xiao Yu immediately decided to leave Zhao'an City. He obtained an identity as a refugee here, and he certainly could not move around here.

After successfully obtaining legal status, I didn't stay in this city for too long. I opened three bank accounts here and went to the airport, bought a ticket and took a flight to another city.
