Chapter 44: Changes in the Wandering Earth

After the technical exchange and cooperation with the Na'vi people, Qiao Lu's remaining work is to ensure that the mining of superconducting ore is carried out smoothly, and that the wandering earth can be crossed again after two and a half months.

In fact, he didn't need to worry about this matter at all, the miners from the wandering earth were all enthusiastic about their work, and the industrial equipment of the RDA was well preserved, so there was basically no trouble.

A large number of mineral carriers weave along the roads built before the RDA, and towering excavation robotic arms are constantly digging out superconducting ore from beneath the ground.

The ore will be sent back to the Hell's Gate base for refining, and then transported back to the Wandering Earth via a spaceship.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but Qiao Lu can successfully retire and fish in the base all day long.

As for the most intuitive enjoyment of staying on Pandora, the food here is much better than on the wandering earth.

"Juice, coffee, steak, mashed potatoes, are these people here for war or vacation? How can it be so extravagant? Qiao Lu said as he enjoyed his meal at the RDA restaurant.

Liu Peiqiang, who was sitting opposite him, said: "After all, they are mercenaries, who wants to be a soldier without excellent logistics support?" ”

The truth is that RDA soldiers come to Pandora to fight for a better standard of living, and if they are treated badly, no one will be willing to die for the RDA.

So they went to great lengths to transport the food from far away to earth to ensure that the soldiers here could enjoy a high standard of living conditions.

Of course, now all this belongs to the Wandering Earth, so Qiao Lu can enjoy lunch leisurely in the restaurant.

For wandering earthlings who can only eat earthworms as their staple food for a long time, such food is really luxurious.

It's just that unlike Qiao Lu, who is eating happily, Liu Peiqiang, who is also enjoying these delicacies, looks preoccupied.

"It would be nice if I could let Liu Qi taste it too."

Qiao Lu persuaded him: "You don't have to worry about this, the wandering earth has already begun to try to breed animals from Pandora. If it goes well, it will be possible to develop a new livestock industry in a few generations. When the time comes, everyone will be able to eat meat, and there will be no need to worry about only dried earthworms. ”

In the days since it was docked in the Alpha Galaxy, the environment on the wandering Earth has been constantly changing.

First of all, the temperature has obviously risen, and the originally solidified atmosphere is gradually returning to gas, although the surface is still unsuitable for human habitation, some tenacious Pandora creatures can already adapt to this environment.

At the same time, the vegetation on the ground gradually regrows, initially just mosses and lichens, and in some places where the sun is more intense, thin grasses begin to appear.

These are all manifestations of the slow recovery of the ecosystem of the wandering earth, and when the climate becomes more suitable, the seeds of basic crops refrigerated on the earth and the space station can be removed, and humans can return to the surface to farm.

Coupled with the introduction of farmed animals from Pandora, the day when the wandering earth people will get rid of the dried earthworms should not be too far away.

Good days will come!

Qiao Lu's encouraging words made Liu Peiqiang nod his head, in this era, hope is the most precious thing.

Now that they've succeeded in bringing new hope to the Wandering Earth, it's not a bad idea to relax a little.

Just when the two were talking and laughing in the restaurant, there was a sudden sound of fierce collision outside, causing a little commotion.

As military personnel, Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang certainly have to come out to deal with it.

As soon as the two went out, they saw that two carriers had a rear-end collision, and the drivers of both cars got out of the car to check the situation, and the driver of the rear car was obviously still a hairy boy.

When he saw this person's appearance clearly, Liu Peiqiang couldn't help but be surprised.

"Liu Qi? How did you end up here? ”

That's right, the driver of the rear-end truck is none other than his son Liu Qi.

Seeing Liu Peiqiang's arrival, Liu Qi showed obvious unhappiness and replied very strongly:

"Now I'm also a junior driver of the delivery vehicle, do you have any comments on the mission here?"

It is true that Liu Qi can drive a carrier, and it is naturally not a problem to come back after taking a junior driver.

It's just that he's going to be sent to work on Pandora, which is quite intriguing.

Liu Peiqiang hurriedly asked: "Why don't you tell me, do you know how dangerous Pandora is?" ”

To be precise, it should be how dangerous the previous planet Pandora was.

Not only are there armies stationed on Pandora, but the Na'vi often help convoys drive away ferocious beasts.

Now it's a lot safer, and the safety of the staff can be guaranteed.

Of course, Liu Peiqiang, who is eager to protect his son, can't listen to this.

Faced with Liu Peiqiang's concern, Liu Qi resisted excitedly:

"Don't treat me like a child anymore! You've been gone for 17 years, do you know how I've spent those 17 years?"

This sentence hit Liu Peiqiang's weakness and made him speechless anymore.

He really hadn't been home for too long, too long. Almost absent from Liu Qi's entire growth process.

But this can't be helped, his sense of mission makes him a soldier first, then an astronaut, and finally an ordinary father.

"I've grown up, and I'm an adult who can take on a mission like you." Liu Qi said firmly, "It's my own choice to come here, Duoduo is taken care of by Teacher Xiaoxing, you don't have to worry." ”

Leaving this sentence, Liu Qi boarded the carrier and left.

The driver who was rear-ended by him could only be stunned in place, could he still run away so chicly?

Of course, after Liu Peiqiang wiped his buttocks for him, and after sincerely apologizing to the driver of the front car, the other party also said that he would not pursue it again.

It's just that the appearance of Liu Qi did make Liu Peiqiang's mentality change a little.

Qiao Lu was just curious, how could such a new driver as him be sent to Pandora? That's obviously not enough.

This kid must have walked through the back door!

Shortly after parting ways with Liu Peiqiang, another person boarded Liu Qi's carrier.

This person is none other than Captain Wang Lei, who once fought side by side with Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang.

Wang Lei sat in the passenger seat and asked Liu Qi, who was driving the car, "How is it, are you satisfied now?" ”

"I don't know." Liu Qi groaned and said, "I thought that as long as I stood on the same position as him, I would be able to understand him better." ”

"Now I do understand a little, but I'm still so angry when I see him."

Wang Lei stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you will understand slowly." ”
