Chapter 201: The Tenth Mission: Interstellar I Want to Return to Earth 6
The pawnshop in Kunlan Town is the only financial institution that has the function of exchanging star coins, and Lu Renbing took Ah to take a look at the prices of various resource recycling.
The recycling price of all kinds of metals is very low, basically 10,000 catties of metal can only be sold for a penny, because the most garbage stars are battleship wrecks, all metal waste. The most important reason why these battleship wrecks were thrown here is that they have all been smelted, mixed with an unknown number of additives, and if they want to be re-smelted, they are simply not enough to exchange for the capital.
Waste clothes, paper and other things that can be recycled are worth a little money, but they are also a penny per kilogram. Because there is no large-scale industry on the garbage star, the greatest value of these wastes is to sort them and sell them to those warships that come to buy them. As for what they do with these things, the people on the garbage star don't know.
The things that can be eaten are more valuable, and there is no spoiled grain, vegetables, and fruits can be sold for 1 cent and 100 catties.
The price of industrial manufactured products is very high, and all kinds of tools, chips, functional cabins, various mechas, machinery, optical brains and other things that are not damaged are relatively high, and some can even be sold for 1,000 interstellar coins. Lu Renbing kept the value of these things in mind. In the future, I may be going to be an interstellar resource recovery tycoon.
Leaving the pawnshop, Lu Renbing continued to take Ah Li shopping, recording the prices of various items. Chat with knowledgeable people such as the pharmacy guy and the pawnshop shopkeeper. Let Lu Renbing have a basic understanding of the entire garbage star.
The garbage star is about the size of the Earth, but it has only one complete continent. This continent is known as Pangea, and Pangea is surrounded by oceans.
It is said that a long time ago, Junk Star was also a resource-rich and habitable planet. It's a pity that it later caught up with the invasion of the Alpha Star colonists, and the people of the Junk Star fought back heroically against the colonists, and the war lasted for hundreds of years. Caused a large number of casualties among the Alpha Galaxymen.
After the end of the war, the Alpha Stars hated the Garbage Planets. A bloody purge was carried out, and the civilized countries on the garbage planet were completely wiped out, leaving only some uncivilized primitive tribes to survive. Because the garbage star is stained with the blood of the Alpha Star, no one in the Alpha Star wants to settle here.
There is no way, the high-level of the Alpha Star has completely hollowed out the energy materials of the garbage star, and even the seawater has been filtered. The excavation of all the large-scale mineral deposits on the surface has largely deprived the planet of the opportunity to develop civilization. Then, Alpha Star designated this planet as a garbage star, which was used to pile up interstellar garbage, completely cutting off the opportunity for the garbage star to produce a native civilization in the future.
Later, there were interstellar scavengers, various unknown wanderers, criminals who entered the garbage star, and the primitive tribesmen who were left on the garbage star, constituting the main human race on the garbage star now.
Although the environment of the garbage star is harsh, after all, it is a planet where civilization was born, and after thousands of years, there are still hundreds of millions of people on this planet begging for a living.
They did not form a unified state, villages scattered in garbage heaps, towns maintained weak ties, and were basically primitive tribal city-states.
There are also wars on the garbage planet, but at most they are at the level of group fights in the countryside, and more often than not, there are land struggles between various socially active groups. They are fighting for ownership of the garbage heaps.
This level of fighting is basically no danger for Lu Renbing. His main purpose now is to make money, not to earn a ticket, at least to repair his mecha.
His mech was so badly damaged that he barely managed to get him to the ground before losing power. When he was training with Tang Long, he had been exposed to some knowledge of mecha maintenance, and he was barely able to repair mechas.
Tang Long didn't look down on the mecha that Lu Renbing was equipped with, because these mecha were all purely mechanical, primitive materials, could not be deformed or compressed, weighed large, had no protective shield, only photon weapons and thermal weapons were attack weapons, the energy system was a miniature nuclear reactor, primitive and unsafe, and the control core was still a primitive silicon-based computer.
It's a primitive tin robot anyway. It is precisely because of this primitiveness that Lu Renbing, who has no technical knowledge reserves, can just understand, and after studying for a while, he can barely understand the construction principle of that mecha.
If he directly used Tang Long's mecha similar to the Terminator, Lu Renbing would basically be blind. From materials to principles, there's so much to learn.
Lu Renbing plans to gain a foothold in this garbage star now, collect some materials, and repair and transform his mecha. Strive to ensure that it can take off again and be able to fight. Let's see if we can fly out of the atmosphere directly, blend into a spaceship, and leave this junk star.
After a day of shopping, Lu Renbing, who was satisfied, bought some fresh vegetables and fruits and brought them back to Ah Li's home. Lu Renbing told Ah Li that these things could be eaten by her mother and brother.
The unexpected gift made Ah Li, who had not worked for a day and was a little depressed, pleasantly surprised. She hadn't eaten fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time.
Starting the next day, Lu Renbing began to take Ah Li out to pick up garbage. In the past, Ah Li was weak and young, so he could only occupy the garbage heap that others didn't want to pick up some leftovers.
Lu Renbing is different, he is tall and strong, few people on the garbage star dare to provoke him, Ah Li can also grab some good things with her, life is gradually getting better, and he is gradually enthusiastic about Lu Renbing. He also began to shout at Uncle Lu Renbing's long and uncle's short.
Lu Renbing also didn't care about the little girl's thoughts, this poor child had a big dream to save up money to buy her mother a radiation removal potion worth 10 star coins, and then buy a gene repair potion worth 100 star coins for his younger brother to restore her brother's health.
This dream is almost impossible for a nine-year-old girl to come true. Even if she sold herself, she couldn't afford it. Most of the junk stars are little girls who want to sell themselves to big families, and people are not worth anything at all.
Ah Li is like this, and he can't even sell a star coin. Because Ah Li has not taken radiation protection drugs since he was four years old, his body has long been eroded by radiation, although on the surface, he is still healthy. But the inside of the body is already full of holes, and if it is not adjusted in time, it is estimated that it will not even live to be 30 years old. If you buy her home, you have to spend a lot of money to buy medicine for her to recuperate, which is not cost-effective at all.
Lu Renbing asked if she had anything she wanted to buy, and the little girl lost her mind for a moment, then shook her head and said no. The loss in that look can be seen by everyone.
