147 Eternal Night and Tears

As soon as you step out of the eternal night of the airport, the sky is dark, but there is a dull and warm feeling in the air.

It's very well developed here. The whole planet is not big, because of the spatial location, there is very little natural light, but the peculiar thing is that its geothermal resources are very rich, and the hot springs also contain minerals unique to the eternal night, which is very beneficial to human health.

A special space shield covers the entire planet, providing the planet with the most suitable light, temperature and air for the human body, turning Eternal Night into a famous health resort in the Tuduo Star Zone.

No man's land is shameful on such a planet that is expensive to run, there used to be, but with the continuous development of Eternal Night, it has disappeared. Today, the Eternal Night Star can no longer find no man's land.

Of course, all the plant resources on it are preserved, and the hot spring baths are scattered on the planet like a wild botanical garden. If it weren't for the remoteness of the location, and the fact that medical technology has advanced so much that the hot spring baths are overshadowed by the special nutrient solution, there would be more people coming to Eternal Night.

After renting the hovercar, Ilan waited for Duanmu, and his flight would not arrive in three hours. When she was bored, she first took a cursory turn around the area, and in a few moments she passed no less than seven or eight hot spring manors, and she began to wonder where the Planetary Resource Development Office would place them, and it would be great if they were hot spring manors.

As soon as Duanmu walked into the parking lot of the airport, he saw Ilan standing next to the car waving and smiling at him.

"Duanmu, how are you doing?" She asked with concern in the first sentence.

"It's okay, how are you doing this month?" Duanmu naturally pulled the car door open and sat in.

"Good." Ilan smiled and started the car, "I thought you wouldn't come alone." ”

"Huh?" Duanmu looked at Ilan in confusion.

Yilan joked: "Your family, you were injured so badly in front, they may not be relieved that you continue to do the task." She turned her head to glance at Duanmu, and when she saw Duanmu smiling at her, she couldn't help but say, "I really guessed it?" ”

"My mom wanted to come along, but I didn't let me." Duanmu's expression was not twisted at all.

"A child with a mother is a treasure." Ilan sighed.

"Aren't you the same?" Duanmu said casually.

Ilan laughed twice. Changed the subject: "Don't tell me that you have completed both reports." ”

"Almost, I'd like to see if there's a more suitable plant in the eternal night. What about you? ”

"Even you, the patient, are done, how dare I be lazy? But I'm not very satisfied, and I need to polish it again. I also want to see the featured plants of the Eternal Night. ”

After the two visited the Resource Development Office. Ilan was surprised to find that their accommodation was actually a cave hotel, and although the room was not large, the bathroom was a small hot spring pool, which made her happy.

Duanmu couldn't help but remind her when he saw her overjoyed: "You can't always soak in hot springs. ”

"I know, I will do it in moderation." Ilan smiled.

For the first few days, the two of them buried themselves in sorting out the information given by the resource development room as usual. Because Ilan found the relationship between urn juice, he was particularly interested in exploring the untapped effects of known plants, and he looked at the information very carefully, listing many plants for sampling and investigation.

Her little life was very comfortable, when she was tired, she went to a hot spring and then rested, woke up and continued to check the information, so that after a week without leaving home, she began to set off with Duanmu for a field trip.

This time there is no need for a planetary security escort, and everywhere is safe and peaceful.

The pace of life here is very slow, and people come here for leisure and wellness. From time to time, I saw people walking slowly among the flowers and trees, such as Yilan and Duanmu, two people who were digging around a clump of grass and measuring the soil, and then they also slowed down their pace. One person observes his target plant, the other occasionally hands over a device or something, and more often than not, he just wanders around and looks at the scenery.

When Ilan had been in the Eternal Night for nearly a month, Hoth told her that he had already left for the mecha design institute and the manufacturing factory, and that his classmates were all doing the same type of tasks, and there were many people who went with him. So she doesn't have to worry.

Ilan then discussed with Duanmu, and simply stayed in Eternal Night for another month, carefully sorted out the plant resources of Eternal Night Star, and handed over the notes to the Resource Development Office.

Ylan has not found any more plants that can be exploited. The growing environment of Eternal Night is too special, and even if there are one or two noteworthy, it is difficult to actually develop and utilize them elsewhere, so she and Duanmu finally gave up the several plants of interest they found in Eternal Night, and calmly merged the previous two reports into a formal report on their graduation project.

In his spare time, Ilan also determined the recipes for the two drinks of the urn juice, and only waited for the results to be handed over to the Culinary Association to promote.

They set off for the Tear Star.

Plant resources are scarce in the Tear Star. The two quickly sorted out the information of the Resource Development Office, inspected one or two places meaningfully, and then made a special trip to the Lost Tears Forest.

"It is said that a long time ago, the Tears Star was not called this name, there was only a planet code, it was wild and remote, the resources were poor, and it gradually became a garbage star, and the waste garbage of the entire Tuduo Star Area was transported to the Tears. At that time, there was only one garbage disposal station on the Tear Star, and no one wanted to set foot on the Tear Star except for the garbage disposal engineers who came on a rotating basis every year. ”

"One day, a man came to Tears with a garbage carrier, his father had just passed away, and on his deathbed he said to him with regret: 'My dear child, how I wish I could buy that model of your favorite mecha on your tenth birthday, instead of just dealing with it and giving you a toy machine, can you forgive me?' In those days, the mecha model was very expensive, and this person's family background was average when he was a child, although his father had the ability to buy it for him and agreed, but in the end he deliberately ignored the child's strong desire and bought him a very ordinary toy machine as a birthday gift. ”

And the child was already boasting about Haikou among his friends, he was teased by his partners, and ignored his father for a long time, after which he never took the initiative to ask his father for a birthday present, and his father was busy making a living, thinking that it was just a trivial matter, and did not take it to heart. Later, the child went to school to work, and the communication with his father became less and less. After his mother died, his father lived alone, and many times he wanted to visit his son, and he was so busy with his work that he said that he was not available to receive him, and the father and son did not see each other several times a year. ”

And so it went after a few years. The father died in an accident and apologized to his son when he was dying. He realized that he had lost his most important loved one, but he never had the opportunity to tell his father that he had long since stopped blaming him. He started a family on his own, and only then did he know the troubles of adults when he took on the burden of life. So he didn't dwell on the 10th birthday present as his father thought, and he didn't blame his father, but it was too late to tell him that his father had passed away with regret and guilt. ”

"He's heard that all the garbage will go to Tear Star. And the garbage with no reuse value has been piled up for decades, and it is too late to dispose of it, so he came here with a lot of twists and turns, hoping to find the toy machine that was discarded back then. ”

"Of course it was impossible, and he went back disappointed, and then came back the next year, and took the seeds of the tear tree from his hometown, scattered them in a wasteland, and said sincerely: 'Dad, in fact, I threw away that toy machine after I played with it for a long time.' On my son's 10th birthday, I am also going to give him a new version of the toy machine qì man, and tell him about us, sorry, please wish me that the regret between us will not happen to me and my son again. Decades later, his grown son took him on an interstellar trip, and father and son came to Tear Star. ”

He was astonished to find that it had become a dense forest of tears, and he picked the woody fruit, which became known as the Teardrop. He said to his son with relief: 'This is the pearl of luck, my wish has come true. My regret and that of your grandfather did not continue. Because he and his son have always been close. ”

As his story was put on the Star Net by the staff of the garbage disposal station as a legendary anecdote of the Tearful Star. Many people began to come to the Tears Star, make a wish in front of the tree, pluck a teardrop, and go back with longing. Some will come back after a few years. Because their wish came true. ”

In this way, the Tears became more and more famous, and with the advancement of garbage disposal technology and the kind donations of some people who had fulfilled their wishes, the Tears Star gradually broke away from the title of the Trash Star, and the Tears Star is also famous for the Tears Drop. The star district government is also focusing on improving the environment of the Tear Star. So the Tear Star has become the lovely planet it is now, full of hope and luck. ”

It's a long story.

Ilan and Duanmu are sandwiched in a tour group and quietly listen to the guide of the Lost Tears Forest tell the origin of the Lost Teardrops. Many people were moved to tears and sighed.

Ilan hung his head, the story was so sad to hear.

One hand reached over and pinched a small square scarf. Ilan's pause, silently took it, turned sideways, walked towards the recycling bin next to him, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes as if he were hiding his eyes, and then picked up the square towel in his other hand and twisted his nose.

There were still some people throwing scarves in front of the recycling bin, Ilan waited for a while, thinking that the management of the Tears Forest had really done a good job, and as soon as she came in, she gave each person a small basket and a small square scarf, she thought that the small square scarf was used to wrap the tears of the tears, it turned out to be to wipe their tears.

After the two square scarves were thrown into the recycling bin, she turned her head and bumped into the sight of Duanmu who was waiting not far away, his face was still quite indifferent, but there was no teasing expression. Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a little embarrassed, thinking that Duanmu couldn't use the scarf, and generously gave it to her, and she didn't even make a few jokes, it seemed that she was indifferent to this story enough.

The tour guide continued to take everyone around the Lost Tears Forest, and many people exclaimed from time to time: "Look, Lost Tears." ”

Elan looked up and saw that the Teartree was very tall, and among the leaves was faintly hanging brown fruits the size of grapes.

Before she came, she specially checked the information of the tear tree, in fact, it is very ordinary, especially easy to feed, the seeds do not fall for many years, sometimes they hang on the branches and slowly lignify, and after picking it off, dig out the inactive kernel part in the middle, wear it at both ends, and hang a rope is the tear drop. And those fruits that are born every year are easy to take root and sprout if they fall to the ground by chance, and it is not uncommon for them to grow into a forest in a few years.

"Aren't you impressed at all?" Watching Duanmu strolling through the woods, Yilan couldn't help but ask, shouldn't she be a little excited? That's worthy of the legend of the Teardrop.

"Stories are just stories." Duanmu glanced at her.

"Maybe it's true." Yilan muttered, Duanmu was too calm and rational.

"That's someone else's story, too." Duanmu shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not about luck, if the person in the story didn't plant the tear tree and didn't make a wish, as long as he wanted to, he and his son would still be very close." ”

Yilan thought about it, it was really the truth, but still sighed slightly: "But he and his father regretted it for the rest of their lives. The Tree of Tears was planted by him for his father, and with the cause planted by him and his father, it will bear fruit for him and his son. She stood stupidly and circled around the Zen machine.

Duanmu frowned: "What do you want to do so much?" Don't you want to be a teardrop? Pick a tree, or you'll have to go farther away. "Many people have already begun to pick trees, and some people have been quicker, and they have closed their eyes solemnly and entered the prelude to making a wish.

Yilan choked slightly: "According to what you say, the tears are useless. "It's selling very well on the Star Network, and it's amazing.

"Wishes are not achieved by longing, but by hard work." Duanmu said the proverbs of life, but his expression was very flat.

Yilan looked at him very entangledly: "Then are you going to lose tears for a while?" ”

"Yes, you can give it to a friend."

Yilan was very speechless, and dared Duanmu to take this as a tourist souvenir. (To be continued.) )
