Chapter 22: Utopia
"Welcome, young man." The old man wearing the Phoenix I armor warmly shook hands with Lu Yuan, who was also wearing armor.
"Haha~ This armor is imitated well, and the number color is changed to be more similar...... Don't be nervous, young man, I wanted to be an N7 when I was younger. The old man couldn't help but joke when he saw that on the chest of Lu Yuan's armor, the word "N7" was written in red paint. Seeing Lu Yuan, he actually showed a somewhat shy expression (actually proud...... Suddenly, I felt that this young man was becoming more and more cute, and his attitude was more kind. "You can call me Old Tang, oh, I guess you young people don't know this kind of title anymore, so call me Tang."
"Lu Yuan, I still call you Donald." Lu Yuan said politely, like a well-educated young man. (Those teachers and classmates must be crying!) )
"You can understand the difference between these titles, young man, you have a good family." The old man was very happy, he smiled and grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and walked towards his manor. "Let's go, I'll take you to see this year's pumpkin, the biggest one...... Wow~ I think I can fit fifty people, and I can do it again this year! ”
"Then why don't you put it in the core of Mass Effect and build a small spaceship that can take off?" Lu Yuan mentioned a building yì.
"Good idea, Lu, do you like pumpkin car races? I remember we did that once. The old man was a little surprised. There are fewer and fewer young people who like pumpkin car races now, so he has scheduled this year's race to Narcissus (the largest moon of Zion), in an attempt to use the low-gravity environment to attract more young spectators.
"Of course. In 2170, you installed a Mass Effect Core on a pumpkin the size of a locomotive. Beat the speed, I remember it clearly! …… I'm a fan of yours! "I only found out after watching the news a few days ago. But Lu Yuan was still able to pull without changing his face.
"Young man, I really like you more and more!" The old man was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and the more the two of them talked, the more speculative they became.
It stands to reason that you should be invited to your home or something at this time - but because of quarantine regulations and other constraints, that is not possible. After Lu Yuan landed on a new planet, because it was a civilian transportation, the quarantine observation period lasted for a month - within this month, as long as he was on the surface of the planet, Lu Yuan could not take off his armor. I can't leave the sight of the person next to me.
Don't make a fuss, even though it's a pangalactic era, the technological capabilities of civilized races are not as advanced as imagined, and the ecosystems of each planet are still very fragile. It is rumored that there is a habitable planet because a cargo ship has brought a spores. The spores mutate and spread rapidly in the new environment, then float in the air, and all the animals on the planet are clogged with lungs and suffocated to death within a few weeks.
From this planet to environmental level 1, humans can move outdoors without armor. Upgraded to Environmental Level 3. In addition to armor, a filtering mask is required, as well as up to seven cleaning processes upon return to the cabin......
There is also the planet of the Krogan people, because of the smuggled lemurs (which reproduce quickly. loves to steal human food), starving a third of the population. Not to mention the genophage virus, which directly destroyed the Krogan Empire.
"Come on. Youngster. Donald took Lu Yuan's arm and came to the edge of the farm. Contented, look at the huge pumpkins piled up in the field.
"My son doesn't like to grow pumpkins, and I don't think my grandson likes either...... They all want to go to the big city and struggle. Or go to space and be an adventurer. I remember when I was younger, in a pumpkin field...... Ah, I'm rambling again. After saying it for a long time, the old man realized that he was nagging again, he shook his head in disbelief, took out two tickets and handed them to Lu Yuan. I know I don't make a lot of money shipping these pumpkins, and we spend a lot of time every year looking for carriers. Thank you, young man, and I hope to invite you to visit the Narcissus Pumpkin Car Contest! ”
"Thank you, my pleasure."

"After a rainstorm, the country roads are always muddy.
When I was a child, I loved watching the rain-forming streams, the clear and transparent water flowing and jumping between the mud and sand and tree branches, sometimes forming a small waterfall. Looking at it, it's as if you can see the scenery of those distant places on TV. Someone like me, who grew up in the countryside, probably never went to such a distant place in my life.
But when I was in the hotel with a notebook and trying to reminisce about my childhood, I suddenly found out...... It turns out that there are so many places I've been to that I can't even remember myself. ”
……
"The few people I traveled with were all found on the Internet, and they were just rides along the way. Some of them knew each other and started chatting, and I sat in the front seat, listening to them, interjecting a few words from time to time. When I'm in a bad mood, I like to tell jokes and watch others laugh, and I feel lonely for no reason, so I want to get out of the car.
The sky near Chengdu is always covered with white fog, and the visibility on the highway is less than 100 meters. It was a highway that had not yet been repaired, and when it was almost time to reach the toll booth, the driver began to look for a small road to slip down. We didn't pay much, so we praised the driver for his move. The driver Chengxing said that there is also a manor near Dayi County that used to be a local tyrant and a bully, and the local tyrant's name is Liu Wencai, who is a representative figure of a large landowner in Sichuan.
Several Sichuan people laughed at it, and they all said that they were taken to the revolution several times when they were in elementary school.
This gave me a chance to tell the driver to get out of the car and take a look. A few of them stayed for a while, and finally everyone waved their hands and dispersed. ”
……
(I copied two paragraphs from the previous rejection, and the control was within 500...... )
*******
The spaceship flew from "Eden" to "Zion", relying on the landing of the far Mass Effect core, which could only reduce the weight by half, so the spaceship had to run for more than half a month, and it couldn't make any money.
In addition to a large shipload of huge pumpkins, there are also parcels from courier companies, mailed letters, and all sorts of other items that are to be sent to the Narcissus colony. This reminded Lu Yuan of his experience as an adventurer at Baldur's Gate...... If there is a difference, it is that although the transportation route is not formal, whether it is sent or received, it is a very formal enterprise.
Interstellar transportation is extremely expensive, but the profits are very small. Lu Yuan ran like this once, and if he made a profit for a whole month, he might be able to earn three or five thousand star yuan...... If something goes wrong with the engine in the middle of the process, it immediately turns into a loss. So he now understands Li Yunchen very well, why he is so rich, and he still has to use a dilapidated ship like the "Skywalker" - a Mercedes-Benz to pull watermelons, and he can't afford this kind of transportation!
In order to save costs, if there is no cargo ship on the way, the courier company generally uses a kind of "cannon" similar to a "cannon" mounted on the space station to launch the goods directly in a certain direction! Then the guò buoy network notified the other party to find a way to receive it - it is said that this kind of cargo has a one-third probability of arrival, and it is not intercepted, and since then it has been drifting endlessly between the stars, there are also as many as one-third......
Lu Yuan's fingers flew on the keyboard, and lines of text appeared on the screen. Lu Yuan's original idea was just to seize an opportunity - writing a book is just an introduction, and Lu Yuan has also prepared a series of nostalgic tricks - he knows very well how powerful it is when a whole era begins to be nostalgic. So what we need to do is to make the best preparations before this tide is triggered.
After all, this is the new Age of Discovery, the new Age of Geographical Discovery! The overall spirit of mankind must be enterprising and positive. Nostalgia will only be a short-term rebound after a long period of rapid growth, and it is unlikely to become the mainstream of social values. So he plans to get involved, and then, when the tide reaches its peak, he will come up with his own carefully prepared gifts for the whole world – wine and cigars from the 16th century (well, this thing again), and fashionable clothing from the end of the 20th century (remember when someone swept Ginza) – in short, the whole thing is that it is deadly expensive!
Lu Yuan plans to prepare more funds for his future ship - Normandy SR1, the most advanced small ship in the whole galaxy, only a little more than 100 meters long, and the research and development expenses and construction cost are as high as 2 billion star dollars.
The whole temporary money-making plan is still very much in line with Lu Yuan's idea of "making small things big, big things doing absolutely nothing".
But people are so strange.
When Lu Yuan began to write while reminiscing, the memories gradually became smooth from stagnancy, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it. The joy of childhood, the boredom of school, the loneliness of boarding, the college entrance examination to college and work...... Many scenes made him recall vividly. He let go of the idea of picking up the text directly from his memory, and for the first time in nearly a hundred years, he planned to use his fingers to knock out these memories little by little.
Perhaps because of the long interval between time, sometimes he remembers the event itself, but has forgotten how he felt at the time.
In order to regain his thoughts, he would land on the planet Eden, talk to old people like Donald, go to the city's bars, or simply chat with some "netizens". After all, no matter what era, the nostalgia of the elderly, the helplessness of the middle-aged, and the restlessness of the young are all so eternal and unchanging......
At this time, Lu Yuan completely let go of the idea of making money and wrote this book seriously.
While writing his own book, he communicated with the indigenous people through guò to find the original concept of life, and by the way, he helped the colonists to do some transportation work that he could. Lu Yuan only thought about helping, and never thought about making any money from this, so he met a lot of friends. As his footprints spread throughout the "Utopia" galaxy, his reputation among the inhabitants grew......
Until one day in the future, Lu Yuan's former alumnus, Ashley, who was promoted to non-commissioned officer. Williams was sent to serve on the planet "Eden". When she found out that Lu Yuan had a reputation as immaculate as a saint among the colonists, she almost fainted!
