147 Communication Restored

The two of them never had breakfast together because they had different work and rest habits. They had to train in the morning, so they always ate at home. After their training, the two of them would meet at about noon. Most of the time, their dates took place in He Xing’s bedroom. They would watch shows, eat, and chat.

When Du Yue returned to her bedroom, she did not change out of her coat immediately. Instead, she went to check on the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the box. There was still some nutrient fluid left from He Xing’s last visit. It would be a waste if she did not use it. Besides, it was not troublesome to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. They did not need much care, so the two of them planted more.

Du Yue was not in a rush to eat the sweet potatoes and potatoes she had grown. She could store them all in her interspace. They might be of use in the future. The potatoes and sweet potatoes were growing well. Du Yue poured some of the prepared nutrient solution into the box before going to the bathroom to wash up and do other things.

…

Neither Du Yue nor He Xing had expected the base to be able to restore its network and communications so quickly. The base had set up new signals, but not every electronic device could access them easily. They needed to apply for a new identity card before they could connect to the internet and download the communication application in the base. There was a noticeboard in the base’s communication application. If the base officials needed to notify them of any news in the future, they would post it there. In addition, there was also a shopping center where they could buy things, but they still had to pick them up themselves after purchasing. There was also a communication function. After adding friends, everyone could chat and call each other. Once they logged into the app, they could change their user IDs, but their real names were registered.

Once someone made any inappropriate remarks or did something bad, the base officials would find that person immediately and punish them accordingly. Giving out new IDs was not an easy task. After all, there were many people living in the base.

If everyone had to queue up for the application, some people would get frostbite after a long time. In order to prevent anyone from getting injured, the base decided to go to their homes to help them. The officials of the base drove their cars to various residential areas in the base and shouted through a loudspeaker downstairs, asking people to come out and handle the procedures.

The building that Du Yue and He Xing were staying in was one of the better areas in the base, so the rental price was relatively higher. It was also closer to the center of the base, which was why they were the first to get ID cards among all the residential areas in the base.

Du Yue and He Xing were in no hurry to go down when they heard someone calling for them to get their ID cards. At this moment, the two of them were sitting together, looking at the base’s communication application on their tablets. The reason why they were not in a hurry was that Zuo Mingdong had already brought them to do it in advance. Zuo Mingdong had told them before he used the megaphone to call for the rest to go down, so the two did not have to line up.

Du Yue had been worried that He Xing would not be able to get an ID card since he was an unregistered resident on earth. However, she did not expect the base staff to help him get one without asking anything. The new ID card looked almost the same as the previous one. The only difference was that there was a chip in the new ID card. The chip could locate the owner of the ID card, and it would be more convenient to find them.

After everyone had their ID cards, they would need to swipe their ID cards whether they were shopping, renting a house, or entering or leaving the base. Even those who lived in the dormitory had to swipe their ID card to enter and exit the dormitory and line up for food. The cards that they had previously used to store contribution points were all voided. The contribution points would be directly stored in their ID cards. Whoever lost their ID cards would be restricted in whatever they could do in the base.

In order to prevent people from losing their ID cards, the base made a small hole in the ID cards and even equipped them with a cord so they could wear it around their necks.

Before Du Yue applied for the ID card, she had already made up her mind that she would never put it in her interspace. Although it would not be lost if it was stored in the space, who knew if the ID chip would demagnetize or if it would be placed in a place that could not be found when others searched for her location?

Just in case, it was better for Du Yue to keep her ID card on her.

At that moment, Du Yue and He Xing were looking through the base’s app excitedly. After all, it had been too long since they had been exposed to the internet. After looking through the base’s app from top to bottom, their initial excitement had disappeared by half.
