Shopping in the city is different. The immigration bureau gave him a lot of vouchers for big shopping malls. Jiang Hui made a rough calculation and then found a more reliable online mall to buy all the daily necessities he needed.
The order was placed at around 6pm, and the goods were delivered to her door at around 7pm, along with the instant lunch box she bought at the mall. Jiang Hui took care of the meal roughly, and then unpacked and packed the daily necessities she bought, so that she wouldn't have to rush to pack when she returned to school on Sunday.
But these were not the main items Jiang Hui wanted to buy. These things did not have to be bought on the main land. Although the logistics were slower, there were fewer styles to choose from, and it was not as convenient as buying online with the holographic cabin, it was still much easier to buy these things on campus than to go back to the main land to purchase them, and it also saved the spaceship ticket.
She wanted to go back to the main land to buy some mecha materials. Yes, not toys or models, but real mecha materials.
Previously, Jiang Hui had been exposed to various mecha models, no matter how realistic they were, they were limited. The content of the basic books she had read was also limited, and the various principles were very abstract, far from enough for her to deeply understand the real framework of mechas.
She didn’t realize it before, until Wednesday when she came into contact with a real mecha… then she realized that her knowledge of mechas was so shallow that just that brief contact was enough to destroy the false self-esteem in her heart.
So Jiang Hui planned to get some real stuff to try. Playing with models all the time was not a solution. She had to find a way to get in touch with the real stuff.
She remembered that when she first came into contact with interstellar information, she also saw some specialty stores releasing information about new parts, which showed that there should be such things for sale.
Jiang Hui's requirements are not high. He just wants to buy parts of a leg or an arm and try out the assembly effect.
Unfortunately, this idea was shattered when she actually checked the product information online. Large mecha repair shops do sell mecha parts, but most of them are brand new, ready-made parts, and they are extremely expensive. Anyway, they are so expensive that Jiang Hui can't afford them even though she is not poor at the moment. After all, it is not a limited edition model mecha with a few thousand interstellar coins, which can be bought as a luxury toy.
Of course, the repair shop also sells used goods, but they are all 70% to 90% new, and the price is not cheap. There are also limited styles, and different styles and different levels of newness have different prices. Jiang Hui can't tell the difference between two parts of the same style and newness but with a difference of 10,000 interstellar coins. It's really too expensive, so she didn't buy anything in the end.
But it wasn't that she didn't get anything out of it. Probably because she looked younger and like a student, the boss, who looked like a Chinese-Korean hybrid, told her that if she wanted to find materials for experiments, she could go to the recycling center. There would be a lot of defective products that were less than 50% new, and if she was lucky, there would be a lot of recycled materials. The prices would definitely be cheaper than here, because people who come to the mecha repair shop are not short of money, and the best products are imported here, so naturally they are expensive.
This gave her a new idea. It seems that no matter which era or world it is, the deviation in the value of goods is very large. Even in a world where the entire society has experienced rapid development, there is still a habit of reselling second-hand goods.
This is also a characteristic of a resource-based society.
Jiang Hui wrote down the several locations mentioned by the other party, thinking of going back to ask a local about them, then thanked his boss and logged off.
She looked at the names of several large recycling centers on her notebook, and pointed her pen at the "Junkyard for Rich and Poor People" that was most recommended by the other party.
…Which land acquaintance should I ask
Mr. Andy from the Hailusi Group? No, it was awkward to meet him in the first place, and we hadn't been in touch for so long. If I suddenly called him, he might think I was picking on him.
Lawyer Ms. Jane? She is a suitable candidate, but she is very busy. In theory, consultation is also charged. She will definitely not charge her for such a small matter, but it is enough to trouble her. So this one is also passed.
The medical staff at the hospital? The doctor? The familiar shop assistant downstairs... None of them seemed like good people to ask.
Jiang Hui was a little confused about who to send the computer consultation to.
Suddenly a light brain communication came in. Who is it at this time
It turned out to be Zhou Xiuwen. This was a bit strange. Although this guy seemed to be very talkative, he was actually a very polite and well-mannered person. It was obvious that his family had brought him up well. He didn't look like someone who would send a glowing brain call to someone at night. It would be more appropriate to say that it was Hillman who called.
But since the other party called in, there must be something wrong. Jiang Hui hadn't washed up yet, and was still in the living room packing up, so there was no need to tidy up anything, and he directly connected to the optical computer to see what the other party wanted.
Unexpectedly, she was a little surprised by the connection. This was not a one-way communication from Zhou Xiuwen, but a connection between several people.
The screen was divided into four screens, plus Jiang Hui who had just joined China Unicom, there were a total of five communication screens.
The other four were naturally the members of the R186 team who were going to watch the open tournament together the day after tomorrow. They were quite complete, and it looked like she was the last one.
"Who were you trying to connect with just now? I called in several times but couldn't get through. It was only then that Zhou Xiuwen called in."
Jiang Hui was stunned. She was in a shop on the repair line just now. She didn't know whether the shop had set the do not disturb function or something else, but she didn't receive any notification. She looked at it carefully and saw a missed call in the upper right corner.
