Chapter 38 How Big Space People Make Money
[Ye Zi, are you free this morning? We need someone to go deep into the danger zone to move some heavy garbage.]
[Sister Qiao, what a huge pile of garbage? ]
[Haha, the one you have to have is big. The price is calculated based on your 1000 cubic meters of space. It is sent directly to the waste incineration power plant, 73 kilometers round trip, 3 yuan per cubic meter, 1000*3*73=219000 before tax, 25% tax.]
[Pfft, is this true? There are so many?]
[Yes, big space operators can earn a lot. Tasks within two days are calculated by kilometers, and your base is 3000 times the kilometers. If it exceeds two days, it is calculated by days, and it is not 3 yuan but 20 yuan. In this way, your space base becomes 20*1000=20000. Hiring you for ten days is 20000*10=200000 yuan before tax. ]
[Such a huge price difference? Short-distance missions are more cost-effective.]
[But there are not so many short-distance missions suitable for large spacers. Most of them are long-distance missions. Isn't it good to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month steadily? Moreover, this pricing is also considered to maintain income equality, to avoid a huge difference in income between spacers and other types of awakened people, which would make the space system of the humanoid warehouse a useless ability. ]
【makes sense. 】
[The 3 yuan and 20 yuan are the official prices. If you are hired privately, the price will be a little higher. The exact price depends on how you negotiate with the person. You can check these on the software. Haven't you seen it? ]
[Well, I've only been moving garbage for a few days, and I've earned enough to spend. I'm not in a hurry to use my space to take on more work.]
【really. 】
[Do you have time for me to have breakfast? ]
[No problem, you eat first, remember to place an order in the background and take the job, I will make an operation to hire you, and the checkout and tax deduction will be done on this software. ]
[Okay, where shall we meet?]
【The old place at eight o'clock.】
【OK. 】
Ye Nai operated on her mobile phone first. There was a button for placing orders and accepting jobs under her personal business card. She clicked it and her business card appeared in the system for waiting for work. After a while, she received a message from the site that she had been hired. The total fee was the same as what Sister Qiao calculated for her. The 3% deposit had been paid. After completing the work and receiving the balance, she could withdraw the money to her bank card or keep it in the account.
She quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs, pushed the electric bike out of the charging area, went to the street to have breakfast, and bought some drinks and snacks at the convenience store. It was just after eight o'clock when she arrived at the old meeting place.
Not long after, Sister Qiao, wearing a full set of protective clothing, arrived early. The two smiled at each other. Ye Nai dressed first, and Sister Qiao drove the electric tricycle to take her into the depths of the danger zone.
"Sister Qiao, you asked me to take a few days off yesterday, and today you asked me to come in here again. Did something happen tonight?"
"Yes, my colleagues on the morning shift first discovered a huge sinkhole, and then found a giant dead alien plant in the sinkhole. It was too big, and it would take too much time to cut it into several pieces and transport it away. I just thought of you. Take it away quickly while there are not many awakened people coming in to work."
"I see."
Ye Na immediately thought of the hot energy in the middle of the night, which was obviously from this giant alien plant.
The car drove for more than half an hour and arrived in front of the tiankeng. A cordon had been set up and everyone was wearing neat protective gear. Ye Nai could only distinguish who were the staff and who were the soldiers by whether they were carrying guns or not.
"Captain Fu!"
Sister Qiao drove her electric tricycle and stopped near a group of people with guns and shouted.
Soon a man came over, with a sturdy figure that could not be covered by the protective suit, and he walked with the wind.
"Captain Fu, this is Ye Nai."
Ye Nai hurriedly got out of the car and shouted "Captain Fu" while standing under the car.
The other party nodded and asked Yenna.
"Are you afraid of the dark and heights?"
Yenne was stunned, glanced at the sinkhole and shook her head.
“I’ve never tried this before.”
"Never mind. No matter how scared you are, you have to hold on."
"Row."
Ye Nai felt that if there were any problems, he would be able to overcome them. After this trip, after tax deduction, he would get 21 yuan.
Who can resist money?
Soon, Ye Nai tied a safety rope around her body, took the intercom, and lowered her to the bottom of the cenote from above, and put the dead giant alien plant into the space. There was actually light all the way down, and there was a large lighting at the bottom of the cenote that illuminated the surroundings like daylight.
In order to move such a big guy, some people had already been working underground, digging out the roots completely, leaving no hidden dangers and preventing a new one from growing over time.
After landing, Yenne touched the alien plant. It felt like wood, but only the outer shell was left.
Don't ask her how she knew that. She just knew that the essence inside was eaten up by the mycelium overnight. No matter how huge the remaining part was, it was only of little value for burning.
No wonder it couldn’t be pulled into space and decomposed.
Ye Na estimated that after the dangerous area was discovered, it must have been identified and she was hired to take it away because they knew it was worthless. Otherwise, it would not be her turn to earn this money.
"I'm here to move this stuff. Is everything done? Can I take it away?"
"It's done, you can put it away."
Ye Na reached out and touched it again. The moment she touched it, the giant empty shell of the alien plant disappeared from its original place. It occupied a volume of more than 950 cubic meters in her space. It must be said that the measurement was very accurate.
"Wow!"
The people who had been busy at the bottom of the tiankeng all morning couldn't help but exclaim when they saw such a huge creature suddenly disappear.
Many people have seen space users collecting things, but it is rare to see large space users collecting huge things.
"awesome!"
"Oh yeah, call it a day."
Yenne called into the intercom on her body and was quickly hoisted back to the ground.
Captain Fu still had to lead the team to finish the work, and it was still Sister Qiao who drove Ye Nai on an electric three-wheeler to the garbage truck parking lot, where a military off-road vehicle was waiting for her.
“I thought I was following the garbage truck.”
Ye Na took off her protective suit here, smiling at Sister Qiao as she did so.
"Waiting for the garbage truck is too slow. You don't know when the truck will be fully loaded and leave. You can go in an SUV and come back for lunch."
After taking off the stuffy protective suit, I suddenly felt refreshed. Then I felt the heat of the sun on my skin. I quickly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. The air conditioner was on in the car, which made me much more comfortable.
The car shifted into gear and started. Ye Na felt a strong push on his back. He glanced at the soldier who was driving seriously and silently tightened the roof handrail.
The round trip was 70 kilometers, 35 kilometers one way, and the whole way was a straight highway. The car drove very fast, and in less than half an hour, Ye Nai saw the big chimney of the waste incineration plant from a distance.
"What do I do next? Do I get off the bus?"
Ye Na asked the driver. This was the first time they had chatted since they set out. After all, she didn't dare to disturb the driver's attention while driving.
"No, just drive directly to the garbage feed port."
"How can something that big fit into the feed port? How big is the feed port?"
"It's big and deep. You just have to go up a high slope and throw your stuff down. There's a big saw underneath that cuts the big pieces of garbage into small pieces, and then transports them in for incineration."
"Oh~"
Ye Na had never seen it before, so she couldn't imagine how big the feed inlet must be. Anyway, she just had to wait patiently.
After the car had its documents checked at the gate, it drove along the road towards the feed inlet, but it encountered a traffic jam not long after it went.
They were all tall garbage trucks, and from her passenger seat, she couldn't see the end of them.
“We have to queue up now?”
"Yes, we are still early. If we come later, the traffic jam will be even longer and we won't be able to get in through the main gate."
Ye Na suddenly had a new understanding of the people with big spaces.
Different from her superficial understanding that she could make money easily by moving mountains of garbage for a few days, at this moment, she had a deeper understanding of the efficiency of large-space people.
