Chapter 38: Yuan Li's Dream

After listening to Yuan Li's words, Erin's face showed a hint of heaviness.

"Do you understand what humans are doing to the planet?" Yuan Li asked.

Erin shook her head.

"Imagine when all the land is built in the city, when humans have robbed almost all living beings of living space, when the river water is no longer a clear spring but sewage, and when the haze and clouds merge and descend to a low altitude, how many organisms can survive in this environment besides humans? Only animals that have been selected by humans and are beneficial to humans are likely to be retained. ”

"The earth has become like this, what do those people in heaven eat?"

"Huh." Yuan Li couldn't help but sneer, "Those guys are living exactly the same life as before the interstellar era. Plenty of food, plenty of water, entertainment and takeaway, and enjoy everything without leaving home. Except for the lack of spices to eat, all other food is soaked in the nutrient solution, and the waste materials that people don't eat are used to feed livestock, chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows, and these things are specially organized in heaven to raise a small amount, but even those people in heaven, they eat the most artificial meat. ”

"What about the others...... Why can't you eat these? Erin asked innocently.

"Hahahaha!" Grandpa couldn't help laughing, "Girl, do you know how much of an expense this is?" With the current population base of the earth, it won't be long before the Earth Federation can be devastated. ”

"Wait a minute, you mean, those people down in heaven can't even eat meat?" Erin frowned and asked, "But I saw jerky for sale at Lao Chen." ”

"Oh those." Yuan Li smiled and turned his head to look at Erin, "Do you know that there is a kind of meat called 'dung meat'?" ”

Erin couldn't help but frown, "What do you mean?" ”

"Literally, the kind of meat you think of. Protein is extracted from the excrement of people in heaven and mixed with some beans to make jerky, which is the main source of protein for the people in Black Iron City. ”

"My ...... Oh my God...... "Erin was a little speechless, she only felt a bout of nausea in her stomach now.

"Does that feel disgusting?" Yuan Li smiled, "Guess what the people at the bottom eat?" ”

"Nope! Don't talk about it! Erin frowned tightly, "I don't want to know!" ”

Dove suddenly looked back at Erin, and then shouted, "Eat cockroach patties hahahahaha!" ”

"Gross!" Erin snorted, "Dove! Can you keep your mouth shut! ”

Yuan Li shrugged, "That's not what I said. ”

"Oh my God, Yuan Li......" Erin suddenly remembered something, "These things, you didn't tell me until now?" Fortunately, I was smart and didn't choose to stay on Earth, and I suddenly found out that you had a bad stomach. ”

"Oh? Didn't I say it before? Yuan Li scratched his head, "By the way, are you hungry, I brought some dry food when I came down from the spaceship." ”

"Don't digress! Don't think I'll forgive you for giving me something to eat! ”

Gollum...... Erin's stomach screamed uncontrollably.

"If you're hungry, eat first." Yuan Li said that he actually took out two flatbreads from his backpack and handed them to Erin.

Erin couldn't help but swallow her saliva, but finally succumbed to her appetite and took the pie, and then muttered, "Ugly adult." ”

"What did you say?" Yuan Li asked.

"Nothing. I said flatbread is so delicious! ”

"But then again." Grandpa opened the window and smoked a cigarette, "There is no way for the earth to become like this, if this kind of measure was not taken at that time, human beings may have been extinct long ago, rather than let themselves become extinct, it is better to let other creatures on the earth move places for us, extraordinary times and extraordinary means."

It's just that if you do this, you won't be able to slow down for hundreds of years. The species on the earth have been almost destroyed, and after several major riots, even the seed bank has been robbed several times. ”

"If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be able to make any money," said Dove, laughing, "a few boxes of pepper sell for so much money, and if the earth were the same as it was in its heyday, where would we make it?" ”

"Hahahaha! That's right! Grandpa laughed.

Erin suddenly remembered the plants and beasts she had seen in the warehouse earlier, "Yuan Li, those plants and beasts in your warehouse ......"

"It's the ingredients." Yuan Li interrupted Erin's question, "Don't think about the idea of fighting these things, even if grandpa accepts you as a crew member, you still can't get close to the warehouse!" ”

“???” Erin was confused, "You think I'm such a superficial person?" ”

"You're not?" Yuan Li asked with a serious face.

"I ...... Hehehe, I'm really ......" Erin laughed angrily, "I can't tell you clearly." ”

"You're not allowed to go to the warehouse anyway, it's okay to talk about anything else." Yuan Li reiterated.

"Okay, okay, I'm still happy." Erin raised her forehead, calmed down a little, and then asked, "I want to ask, those earth crops and those similar species you collected, should you want to bring them back to Earth one day, right?" ”

"Bring it back to Earth?" Yuan Li looked at Erin in surprise, "And then watch these things I collected being eaten?" Or is it being sliced and studied? Bring back this kind of thing, non-existent. ”

"And ...... you?"

"I didn't think about it, maybe I should find them a new home. Until then, they've stayed on my ship, and my ship is named Noah. ”

Yuan Li suddenly became serious, "The plants and creatures on the earth are not completely extinct, because the human strategy has caused the population to explode, and at the beginning of the Age of Interstellar Discovery, a large group of people rushed to space like crazy, and they also took away a lot of resources on the earth, and all kinds of seeds and creatures also flowed into the universe together." Maybe one day, I can get them all back, and then find them a new home like the Earth they once were. ”

Erin was stunned for a moment, this blueprint conceived by Yuan Li may be beautiful, but considering the reality, this dream may only be a dream.

"See that his Wenqing is sick?" Grandpa suddenly said, "You can brainwash him on this, I give you the right to talk about him, and they don't dare to say it." But old man, I think this dream is too big. It's better to make good money and think more about the next generation. ”

Yuan Li looked at his grandfather and said seriously, "I know it may be difficult. But as long as we keep sailing, there is hope of finding such a place. ”

"Come on, you!" Grandpa rolled his eyes, "You don't know what the alliance is, except for controlling the new planet, the rest of the management is not powerful." Do you still want to grab land with the Alliance? ”

Yuan Li was silent, but his heart was full of dissatisfaction.

"And don't think about all that 'boss empty' stuff, we still have a knife hanging over our heads." Grandpa reminded.

"I know." Yuan Li frowned, "I'll find a way to solve it." Let's talk about that back on the ship. ”
