Chapter 1522: Going Home
Chapter 1522: Chapter 1522: Going Home
Jona’s home is not on Nami Star, but on a planet nearby called Sky Dome Star. It is relatively small, only one-third the size of Nami Star, and it’s a planet with very scarce water resources. Therefore, there are very few green spaces on the entire planet; most of it consists of mines and deserts...What makes things worse is that, due to its proximity to the Main Star, the mining resources of Sky Dome Star are extremely convenient to transport after extraction. So even though there has been significant conservation efforts, after thousands of years of mining, the entire planet’s mineral resources have nearly been exhausted, and most of the land is covered with yellow sand...
The depletion of resources also leads to a yearly decrease in the permanent population. Now, an enormous planet has a permanent population of less than 10 million, mostly the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled...
As for the young people?
Young people either study abroad or work on Nami Star or other richer planets. After working for a long time and once the job becomes stable, young people start trying to settle where they work and bring their families over to live together...
This cycle repeats, and the population of Sky Dome Star becomes increasingly sparse.
However, because it is close to the Main Star of the Alliance and within the Main Star’s defense range, the nearby Star Domain is guarded by the military 24 hours a day, making it very safe, with a safety level comparable to the Main Star. The Main Star has high prices and a high standard of living, but besides water resources, other prices on Sky Dome Star are extremely low, and living costs are very minimal. Therefore, although it isn’t suitable for young people to fight for success, it is quite suitable for the elderly to retire.
Jona and her brother moved to Sky Dome Star because of the extremely low cost of living. Plus, the distance between Nami Star and Sky Dome Star is only about a 3-hour ride on a public spaceship.
That way, whenever Jona has a break, she can quickly return to Sky Dome Star.
After taking leave, Jona immediately bought the next available spaceship ticket, packed her luggage, and boarded the spaceship—all within 30 minutes.
The spaceship’s announcement was made, advising passengers to pay attention as it was about to depart. Jona straightened her back and looked at the scenery outside through the window.
