Jiang Feng was born in the heyday of the Earth Federation.

Within the Federation, the status of a citizen of the Earth Federation is itself a permanent meal ticket.

Even if you don't have a job, you can live without worrying about food and drink for the rest of your life.

Of course, this is not to say that the Earth Federation has entered a perfect utopia of equal abundance for all. If you want to live in the solar system where your home planet is located, and in the constellation Centauri, which is adjacent to the solar system, or those picturesque planets of Gaia, you still need a fairly high income to do so.

Pure-bred Federans, employment options tend to focus on manufacturing, military, and scientific research, or simply engage in writing, painting, sculpture and other cultural and artistic industries. The former is in huge demand, and the latter is subsidized by the Federal Parliament. For example, the two major fields of energy and mining are basically only engaged in by subordinate races with the right of residence.

Therefore, as a noble earthling, a great member of the Federation, Jiang Feng instinctively felt rejected by the matter of mining.

But it can't be ......

It's like the landing site of this spaceship.

There are some things that you don't have to choose at all.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Feng threw the mining pickaxe in his hand on the ground, walked sideways out of the half-meter-wide mining cave, and sat on the stone pier next to the entrance.

Directly in front of him, about fifty meters away, on the slope of the road with an almost level slope, were littered with tools that might be used to build a shelter.

According to the original plan, he was supposed to build a shelter here, but when he arrived, the mineral detector suddenly reacted. Directly opposite him was the rock mass...... That is, where he is now, there is an iron ore vein with reserves estimated at more than 10,000 tons!

Iron ore is a good thing.

Although it is not a high-value mineral, it is the most scarce thing for Jiang Feng now.

Many useful tools need metal to be crafted, compared to materials such as titanium ore and tungsten ore, which are strong but require a lot of energy to decompose, iron ore can be said to be the most suitable for a junior survivor like Jiang Feng who has just landed on the planet not long ago.

Not only that, but about two or three meters deep into the rock face, there was a natural cavity of moderate size, which was perfect for establishing his shelter on this planet.

In this way, Jiang Feng temporarily changed his plan, preparing to dig a mine hole in this wall first, and then throw the iron ore into the mineral decomposition furnace while reinforcing the mine tunnel structure with wood, and then directly build the shelter inside the rock wall.

In this case, as long as there is no serious mudslide, even if a 12-level typhoon comes, it can be easily handled.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, after dealing with lunch, Jiang Feng continued to work.

I didn't feel it like watching those inferior races work in the mines.

Now Jiang Feng found out that this mining was also a technical job.

At first, Jiang Feng couldn't find the trick, but just took the ore pickaxe to knock on the rock wall, and then found the trick, knocking along those naturally formed cracks, or the joints of the rock itself, and the mining speed was obviously much faster.

When it was almost dusk, a two-meter-deep mine hole was finally knocked out by Jiang Feng.

However, to his surprise, when he slashed towards a pickaxe on the rock wall, he smashed a hole in the wall behind the mine.

That's right, it's a wall.

Jiang Feng could clearly see that he was knocking on a square stone brick.

Behind the wall is a square space of about twenty-five to thirty square meters, with buried load-bearing walls on either side of the wall.

There is no doubt that this is an artificially crafted structure.

"There are traces of higher biological activity."

"Civilization is at least the Stone Age."

"No, it's also possible that it was above the Bronze Age...... Pottery? This is...... An iron sword?! ”

After confirming this, Jiang Feng's heart was mixed.

Happily, this planet should have low-level civilization natives to fool.

Worryingly, the natives who have entered the Iron Age are enough to pose a threat to themselves. And considering the abundance of stardust on this planet, most of these natives are moving in the direction of an idealistic civilization. It is also the most unfriendly place for the survivors of materialist civilization.

Picking up the iron sword on the ground, Jiang Feng took it in his hand and weighed it.

Judging by the workmanship and the texture of the weapon, it should be a human who made this weapon...... Or a species that is similar to humans. After letting Zhi Brain scan the coat of arms on the hilt of the sword, Jiang Feng put the iron sword aside for the time being and continued to explore the room behind the quartz pillar.

After passing through a narrow passageway, he found a skeleton leaning in a corner in another room. The skeleton was covered with a dark purple robe and a silver ring on the index finger of its right hand.

On the left-hand wall, lines of text carved with sharps remain.

This is probably a tomb.

It belongs to the deceased in front of him.

The tadpole-shaped text should be the inscription left behind.

"Brain, analyze the words on the stele."

[Under Analysis......]

While Zhi Brain was analyzing the words, Jiang Feng squatted down and carefully examined the skeleton.

"The skeletal morphology is basically the same as that of humans."

"One meter six tall."

"There are two longitudinal fractures in the ribs...... The time of death is not far off, about a hundred years ago......"

Jiang Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

Whether it's a crocodile encountered by a river or a capuchin monkey in a tree, while these species are morphologically subtle and morphologically different from known species found in the Milky Way, they are genetically similar to a staggering 80 percent!

Now, he even saw the remains of a human being.

It is not an uncommon phenomenon in the Milky Way that terrestrial planets with similar climates and environments give birth to similar species under the same evolutionary conditions and similar evolutionary factors. For example, the wild dinosaurs in the constellation Centauri are genetically very similar to the dinosaurs of the Jurassic era on Earth.

But now, he actually saw a human being, and a human with twenty-four ribs!

Even if the Earth Federation has encountered civilizations born of humanoids and humanoid creatures in the galaxy, if there is a species that looks exactly like the earthlings, it may only be the earthlings themselves.

Is it too much of a coincidence? I always felt that something was wrong.

While this is a good thing, at least it proves that he is not alone in this universe.

But for some reason, when he found out this, he was not happy at all.

[Analysis completed]

【Data import database】

Finally, Zhi Brain completed the scan of this inscription and projected the scan results onto Jiang Feng's retina.

Looking at the lines of words that had been translated into the federal language, Jiang Feng whispered silently.

"Captain Agris's Tomb."

"It's impossible to go back, and I probably can't go back in this life."

"The spaceship has crashed, the communicator has been broken, and probably no one will come to this savage planet."

"The natives use magic, amazing technology, and if I have time, I'd love to study it. But sadly, my time is running out. If anyone can find this place and read the text on the wall, please bring my skeleton back to the home planet of the Kata Alliance. ”

"In the room behind the door, there are some interesting little things, which are considered thank you, please take this matter to heart, please!"

The text stops at this point.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Feng took about half a minute to digest this huge amount of information.

This line of inscription completely overturns his previous speculation.

It is true that there are indigenous civilizations on this planet, but this Captain Agris, who is not a native of this planet, but an outsider like Jiang Feng. And it is very likely that the civilization he is in has mastered the mysteries of interstellar navigation.

It's just that it's not clear exactly where they've come.

It is not even clear whether they are on the materialist side or the idealistic side......
