Number 29.
His parents were at work.
Chen Jin was alone at home.
He locked the door and went to Haierfa through the portal in the bathroom.
In the giant crater.
The campsite was quite large.
There was a storage tent.
There was a temporary weapons and ammunition depot.
There was a large batch of spare parts for the robots.
There were 285 high-energy batteries (Da Li and the other robots had helped to pick up a small number of high-energy batteries from the battlefield).
The number of exploration squads had also recently expanded from one to two.
The number of robots had increased from five to ten.
As for the names of the second exploration team, Chen Jin was too lazy to think about it. The captain was called "02," and the team members were 0201, 0202, 0203, 0204. Their names were represented by numbers.
If a new exploration team was added, the names would be the same.
Finally, there was the Blue Angel electric car parked next to the charging station. It had been charging there for the past two days.
But after two days and 48 hours, Chen Jin looked at the battery indicator on the control panel. There was still 32% of the battery left.
"The charging cable I pulled can charge up to 5 kilowatts. I've charged 240 kilowatts in the past two days. Can I charge another 100 kilowatts? This … "
Chen Jin sighed. The existence of high-energy batteries was like a bug.
If he could get the technology to manufacture high-energy batteries back to Earth …
It would be no problem to earn trillions of dollars and become the richest man in the world, right?
"But … even if Haierfa has the technology to manufacture high-energy batteries, how am I going to get it?"
He couldn't just pick it up from the garbage, could he?
Chen Jin shook his head. The most valuable thing on Haierfa was actually the various kinds of science and technology that were far ahead of Earth's. Technology was the number one productive force. Powerful technology was equivalent to a gold mine. It was far better than directly picking up gold, and the benefits it brought were greater.
But technology was a carrier of information, not a visible entity. It was not easy to "pick up" it.
He could only continue exploring until he obtained everything on Haierfa.
Chen Jin muttered to himself as he stared at the Blue Angel charging.
Therefore, he hoped to use the local advanced transportation to speed up the exploration of this world.
Chen Jin decided that when the Blue Angel was fully charged, he would personally go to the City of Tereese to explore and see if he could find anything.
Suddenly!
The light bar on Blue Angel's central console that showed that it was charging suddenly dimmed and stopped charging.
The buzzing sound coming from the charging device next to the charging station also stopped.
The energy-saving lamp hanging on the metal tripod in the middle of the camp suddenly went out.
"Why is there no electricity?"
Chen Jin felt very strange. Was there a blackout on Earth?
He hurried back to his room on Earth. In the electric well in the corridor, he looked at the main power switch. He found that the electricity meter of his neighbor's house was still running, but his own meter was dark and did not move.
The public light switch in the corridor can also be turned on.
This meant that there was no widespread blackout!
It was just that there was no electricity in his house.
Chen Jin checked the circuit again and found no short circuit.
The circuit was not faulty!
There was only one possibility left: the meter was overdue and the power went out.
Chen Jin took out his phone and logged into Alipay. He clicked on the "Living Expenses" tab on the home page to check on the electricity bill.
Current owed amount: 9286 yuan.
"What?"
Chen Jin was stunned when he saw the number.
"In the past month, I've used more than 9,000 watts of electricity? How is this possible? "
Usually, when he was alone at home, even if he turned on the air conditioner every day during the summer, he only had to pay 400 to 500 yuan a month.
How could 9,000 watts of electricity be so exaggerated?
But when he thought about it carefully, Da Li and the other big users of electricity on Haierfa, and the high-efficiency batteries next to the charging station, which could not be fully charged no matter what …
According to the "tiered electricity price" standard set by the power department of Shang Hai, the price of electricity would be 1 yuan per kilowatt if the monthly electricity consumption exceeded 400 watts.
Settlement was on the 15th of every month. If the electricity bill was in arrears for more than 10 days, there would be a phone call and then a power outage.
Chen Jin did not receive the phone call, so he did not know that he owed so much.
It was easy to restore the electricity. He just had to pay the overdue electricity bill, and the electricity would come back in five minutes.
The problem was …
"More than 9,000 yuan. Where do I have that much money on me?"
Chen Jin was a complete pauper now. Not only did he have no money, but he also owed a friend $5,000.
With a bitter laugh, he could only give his mother a call, hoping that she would transfer some money to him to solve the urgent problem at hand.
After the call went through, He Li asked, "Son, you want to borrow $10,000 from me and pay me back next month?"
"Yes, Mom. It's really urgent. I'll definitely pay you back next month."
"Son, you spent all your savings to buy that pearl necklace, didn't you? Tell me, how much did you spend on that necklace? "
He Li had done a Baidu search on the internet. The lowest market price for a pearl necklace from her son was $50,000!
"That's about it, Mom. Hurry up and transfer me $10,000. I need it urgently. I'll definitely pay you back next month!"
"Ok, I'll transfer the money to you right away!"
Not long after, Chen Jin received a text notification: Ding! You have received a $50000 transfer from "Mother" on your Alipay account.
"Mom, just transfer me $10,000. That's too much!" Chen Jin said in surprise.
"Don't worry, I'm not giving you $50,000 for nothing. You have to agree to a small request from me."
"What request?"
"I've found a pretty good partner for you. Make an appointment this weekend to go on a blind date with her. I hope you can make some progress …"
"A blind date? Mom, I don't plan to get married that early. I don't want to go. "
"Give me some face, Mom. I've already convinced her, and she's agreed to meet you sometime. Good boy, don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
Ever since she received that precious pearl necklace, He Li was gratified to realize that her son had grown up and knew how to be filial to his parents. She should strike while the iron was hot and let him settle down, become independent, and mature faster. She also wanted grandchildren.
"Ok, I'll promise you, Mom."
Chen Jin nodded helplessly. How could Mom not raise some additional conditions when it was $50,000?
"Ok, thank you, son."
He Li's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled.
At that moment.
There was a knock on the office door.
A tall and slender woman dressed in a tax officer uniform with a high ponytail on the back of her head, a pretty face, and an elegant temperament walked in with a document in her arms.
She placed the document on the desk and said to He Li in a crisp voice, "Director He, this is the information you wanted. I've organized it for you."
She gently pushed the document in front of He Li.
He Li put down the phone and looked her up and down. She nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the assistant in front of her. "Little Su, you said you're 25 this year. Have you found a partner?"
Su Yun's pretty face turned red. She lowered her head and said, "Director, I've never been in a relationship."
Her face was slightly hot. In front of outsiders, she always had the image of an icy beauty. But in front of her superior, He Li, she was as tender as a little girl. She could not help but let go of her arrogant facade. She could not hide her inner secrets and was often seen through by He Li.
But she was not annoyed. Instead, she enjoyed interacting with such a superior. She often immersed herself in tax work with high spirits.
Naturally, He Li liked this assistant very much. She felt that she liked her in all aspects.
Now that she heard that this beautiful assistant was still single, He Li could not help but tease her. "That's impossible. I can't believe that the tax belle of the tax bureau still doesn't have a partner.
Little Su, don't worry about not finding a partner. Leave this to me. I'll help you find someone you're satisfied with! "
"Director, I'm still young."
Su Yun said in a low voice. Her pretty face was slightly red. She lowered her head and pinched her fingers.
"Hahahaha!"
