Chapter 1: I Didn't Mean It

My name is Xiao Qiang, and I am just a very ordinary country kid, I have never been to the Holy Capital before, although I have seen that place on countless screens for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEspecially on the emperor's birthday, the empress's birthday, or whatever big day, even countrymen like us can feel the power of this empire through the ubiquitous screen.

Yes, powerful! I don't know of any other word to describe empire. What the? You don't know our empire......

Well, we countrymen are really old-eyed, I'll tell you about it. Of course, I'm stupid, I can't talk too well, you can make do with it.

The Milky Way knows, right? Well, that's fine. Our empire is the only legitimate government in the entire galaxy, and it must have been almost three hundred years by now, anyway, my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather...... All citizens of the Reich.

The Galactic Empire has more than 10 million territorial planets, and my hometown has no real name in the mining areas along the entire Empire. This is not surprising, after all, you can't remember more than 10 million names, so my hometown is called Molybdenum Mine 045, which is the 45th colonial star in the molybdenum mining area. I've known since I was very young that our whole star is miners and miners' children.

No management? Look at what you said, where is it? We have a county system here, and each mine is a county, and a county like ours, even if it doesn't have as many stars as the Milky Way, I'm afraid it's not far behind. For generations, my family has made a living by mining in the pits here, and although life is hard, there are also small happiness that belong to our inferior people.

I remember when I was a child, the happiest thing was that twice a year the ship carrying ore came to our mine, and the kind captain would bring us a lot of sweets and cakes, and even cute toys from the big star.

And we, the parents of children, will take out the hard-earned credits to help us exchange for this rare surprise.

Those days are the festivals I remember......

Originally, I thought that my life would be like my father and grandfather, coming of age, going to the mines, working, getting married, having children, and growing old, which is the fate of us little people, and I don't think it's strange.

I have recalled the events of that day countless times, and I would like to say that there were some visions or inexplicable signs that happened that day.

Unfortunately, life is not a legendary novel, at least not much until then.

On that day, it was the day when the liner came to Molybdenum Mine 045.

When the huge mountain liner appeared outside the canopy, we children ran out of our humble homes with great joy and ran with joy in the direction of the landing platform.

I've been sick since I was a child, so I can only run at the end of the crowd, but I know it doesn't matter, after all, it takes half a day for the liner to be filled with minecarts by those uncles, and it will take some time for my father to get the news from his co-workers; So, I wasn't in a hurry.

So, when I finally ran to the landing platform, it was already filled with a joyous crowd.

I tried my best to get in and out of the crowd for a long time, but I couldn't find my father, so I squeezed out the crowd again and waited next to the tarmac; I knew that if Dad came, he would come from this side because it was the only road to the mines.

Adults dressed in miners' costumes kept walking past me, and as they approached the crowd, there was always the cheers of one or two children, which made me a little anxious.

Many years later, I finally learned that earlier in the day, my father had been slightly injured in the pit and was being treated in the infirmary, and the mild anesthetic gas had caused him to sleep, so I had not heard the news of the arrival of the liner, and this time I was doomed to be disappointed.

Of course, it's not a big deal, my father's co-workers will help him buy me a gift, and this evening, there will be an extra fresh vegetable soup on the family table, and my mother will be very happy to tell my sister and me to drink more, and will say that it is a rare delicacy or something......

This is true, after all, molybdenum ore 045 is too ordinary, and survival support facilities are also the most basic kind, it is good to be able to provide us with nutrient blocks and oxygen and clean water to sustain our lives, and vegetables can only come from this ship.

But I was only eleven years old that year, and I was very anxious when my father didn't show up, especially when there were children about my age around me, with the candy their parents had just bought in their mouths, and they jumped up and down following the adults holding the goods past me and walking in the direction of home.

This anxiety led me to do something I would never dare to do – I climbed into the high stacked container full of ore.

At that time, my idea was simple, stand taller, and see farther and more clearly. In retrospect, I'm sure I just wanted to see a little further.

These neatly stacked containers are the result of the work of all the miners in the mine for half a year, and after the liner transports them, the miners can get credit to sustain their lives.

On weekdays, my father would always tell my sister and me not to climb on top of the container pile to avoid danger; And my sister and I are always obedient and don't do it. But this day, my dad didn't show up, but I finally forgot about the ban he had repeatedly said.

When I finally climbed to the top of the containers out of breath, I immediately understood why my dad didn't let me climb on them, it turned out that these stacked containers did not have a top cover! At the top of the siding that stood on all sides, there was only a narrow steel plate, which was no more than thirty centimeters wide, and further inside, there was only a black-looking pile of ore.

I immediately regretted it and prepared to go back to the surface along the spot I had climbed upon.

That's when the accident happened.

The stack of containers under their feet suddenly moved, and with a loud roar, they were lifted up by a loading robot and walked towards the cargo hold of the docked liner, and soon, they would be transported along with the other containers to the factory stars scattered around the constellation of the Holy Capital, where they would be smelted and processed and then turned into various industrial products and sent to all corners of the vast empire.

I only found out about these things later.

When the container moved, I only felt a slip under my feet, and then I fell into the container; Coincidentally, the back of my head hit a piece of ore, and I didn't know anything when I felt a "bang" in my head......
