It's a normal day.

"At 7:15 a.m. on the 22nd of Gyeonggi time today, an unexplained explosion occurred on Fanchuan Road, Chang'an District, Seogyong City, leaving a giant explosion crater with a diameter of 20 meters, resulting in the collapse of three adjacent factories and the death of 45 office workers, the specific cause is still under investigation. According to the fragments left at the scene, experts speculated that the explosion was a new weapon that illegally entered the country, not a chemical product, and the factory owner is currently in a state www.biquge.info of disappearance, and it is very likely that he will be killed. ”

"Another F22 fighter plane crashed while patrolling the North Atlantic, and the plane and pilot are currently missing. It is reported that this is the third plane that mysteriously fell after the Falling Sakura Empire sent a flight squadron to patrol the North Atlantic again two years ago, and after learning the bad news, the family of the missing pilot issued an appeal through Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms to organize a 500-person march to protest in Brooklyn, New York City, to protest against the government's inaction and ask the government to give an explanation. ”

"In April this year, Mr. Cao, who lives in the magic city, because of his usual hobby of collecting, encountered acquaintances and friends who recommended a new type of antique product called alien relics to him, and then poured all his family wealth into a large-scale purchase, but in July this year, due to the urgent shortage of cash at home, Mr. Cao planned to resell some of the antiques, and found that the so-called antiques of alien relics were all man-made and worthless."

"The police hereby remind you not to believe the so-called alien claim, so far, there is no evidence of the existence of aliens, let alone trust others at will, and buy the so-called alien antiques to avoid being deceived."

……

News scrolled on the webpage in front of Shen Heng, which was an information aggregation website, which would capture the world's news about "aliens" and present it on it, so that those who followed it could view it uniformly.

Shen Heng had just finished brushing his teeth, eating breakfast, looking at all kinds of content on the webpage, thinking that sure enough, the world was changing again, since the Greenland incident three years ago, the aliens seemed to have come out of novels, rumors, and nothingness all at once, and really stood beside human beings.

Of course aliens exist! Shen Heng believes this, first of all, the Greenland incident, three years ago, a large number of ordinary people in the North Atlantic, Arctic Ocean, Iceland, Quebec, Newfoundland and other regions were accidentally involved, and found that the ruins and relics left by the aliens were found, and then, two years ago, it was an accident or civil strife that led to differences in the attitude of human beings towards the treatment of alien ruins, so the alien matter surfaced and could no longer be hidden.

Since then, keen people have noticed the alien thing, including Shen Heng, his friends, and more and more people are involved in it, knowing that with the discovery of aliens, the world will usher in unprecedented changes and will completely change the future of civilization.

This is an alien civilization known as the ancient saints, who have been incomparably brilliant, conquering the universe from the Virgo supercluster where human beings are located, to the edge of the endless universe that continues to expand and extend, from the three-dimensional material realm of human cognition, to the energy gathering, the high-dimensional transcendence realm, which is completely beyond human cognition.

It's a pity, ancient sages, they died! They died 500 million years ago, during the Cambrian mass extinction of life, and no one knows why they really perished, the only thing left behind is the ruins that spread all over the universe, and the relics buried in the ruins.

Although most of those relics have been eroded by time and turned into a part of the rock dust, they have no usable value, but it is the otherworldly technological power of the ancient holy civilization that a considerable part of the relics can still be used.

Weapons of incredible destructiveness, spaceships that cross the starry sky, recombinant agents that promote human evolution... Even if it is extremely ordinary, the gadgets used by the ancient sages, such as suspected underwear, telephone booths, and cutlery gadgets, can be of surprising value.

The most surprising thing is that the ancient sages are exactly the same as humans in many aspects, whether it is their individual appearance, their culture, and social system, they are completely the possible appearance of human beings in the future era, resulting in human beings not having any obstacles to using relics at all, and the security module that comes with those gadgets will also take the initiative to identify humans as their owners.

The scavengers were born, initially made up of ordinary people who had been involved in the Greenland affair, and then they grew in number and influence, and under the oppression and temptation of governments that also knew the truth, they had the means to maintain a considerable degree of independence and no longer be bound by the traditional order.

The above is just the status quo that Shen Heng knows in his mind, he believes that the world will usher in more earth-shaking changes, so he joined in early, but he didn't want to be eliminated by the world.

In fact, it was quite early when he joined, and if he had been proactive two years ago and had a little luck, he might have become a successful person today, and it would never be a problem to become an entrepreneur, and since then he has lived a luxurious life of drunkenness and money, and has been at the forefront of most waste pickers.

However, compared to the others, his luck was a little bad, he was temporarily trapped by the alien relic in his hand, it was a small, some like MP3 gadgets, according to the seller, from an extremely dangerous ruin, extremely high-tech, but unfortunately it seemed to be broken, and no one knew how to fix it, so he sold it to himself.

Shen Heng planned to repair and figure out the role of the gadget, but unfortunately he never succeeded.

Maybe he has to know how to stop losses in time, and he is not willing to give up so easily, let him study hard to this day, even if several friends who have long been in the scavenger base are dissuading him from joining quickly, he still shows stubbornness.

Shen Heng fiddled with the gadgets in front of him, reading the information he had collected from various sources, and calmed down to think, he believed that this must be a very valuable relic, and only by repairing it well would he not let his two years of hard work go to waste.

Of course, the science and technology of the ancient sage civilization is otherworldly, far beyond that of human beings, so this huge generation gap has led to the fact that although the ancient sage civilization is in the direction of scientific and technological development, whether human beings want to imitate, repair, figure out the principle, etc., the difficulty will be greatly increased, and it may be more difficult than starting from scratch.

Time flies, another half a day has passed, and there is still no answer, Shen Heng threw the gadget on the workbench with some discouragement, knowing that the gadget can't even cut a diamond, he didn't worry about it breaking down at all, he just wanted to vent his emotions.

"Let's go out to dinner." Shen Heng's heart was not so fragile, he recovered quickly, simply put on a dress and straightened out the house, looked back at the courtyard house that his grandfather had left for him for some years, walked along the alley full of old men and grandmothers, and little children to the street, and turned a few steps to the place where he used to eat.

Shen Heng currently has no job, of course it's not that he can't find it, he can do a lot of jobs after graduating from electronic information engineering, he understands that the appearance of aliens makes it unnecessary for him to look for a job.

In addition, his grandfather, who was a general in the army, and his parents, who died early, left him real estate and savings, as well as other messy things, so that he can persevere without working, just because of the purchase of antiques, he is currently relatively poor, but fortunately he is not an extravagant and wasteful person, and he can live a little easier.

Shen Heng sat down peacefully to order, and then paid with Alipay, boringly sweeping the bustling crowd of people on the street and waiting.

"Liang Zhu, you are! What, just got back from Barnard's Star? ”

Suddenly, it was Shen Heng's elementary school classmate and neighbor Li Liangzhu, another third generation of the army, two years ago, he was instigated by Shen Heng early, secretly joined the ranks of waste pickers, and in the past six months, he has mainly mixed in Barnard, a well-known red dwarf star 6 light years away from humans, and there are recently opened up ruins in the star system for waste pickers to make a fortune.

"No, I just returned to the Altai base, and I happened to get 9 sets of advanced cosmic environment adaptation suits, which are estimated to be enough for tens of millions of Daming coins."

The Altai base, which is sandwiched between the two permanent members of the United Nations, the Ming Republic and the Soviets, is a newly excavated Mongolian ruin, and it and the earliest Greenland prehistoric city, Tierra del Fuego constitute three gathering places for waste pickers.

Hearing Li Liangzhu's show-off, Shen Heng congratulated.

"I said Lao Shen, when are you coming over? There's no need to drag it out. You must know that Lao Xu and Lao Zhang, who were mixed in when the integrated organization was formed, were doing well. ”

"Let's not talk about personal force, Lao Xu became the major shareholder of three listed companies, Lao Zhang formed a scavenger organization by himself, and the more unfortunate one was Lao Sun, who died on an alien planet."

Listening to Li Liangzhu's persuasion, Shen Heng replied: "I said, I will come, there are still three days to complete the two years, I have acquired that gadget for two years, if I still can't figure it out by then, then I will come over." ”

"I see! Since you have a plan, then I'm relieved. Li Liangzhu said excitedly, "When there is a shortage of novice tickets, please contact me at any time, haha!" ”

Li Liangzhu didn't know what to say, and quickly hung up his mobile phone, Shen Heng just slowed down to eat a few bites of noodles, and within a few minutes, he found that his mobile phone rang again.

It was another call from a foreign country, and when he saw Aurora's Russian name on it, he knew it was his fiancée.

His fiancée is not small, and she is still the heir of the Tunguska Group, although it seems that the identities of the two parties are not very compatible, the reason why there is such a relationship can be traced back to some deeds of grandpa.

In the 50s and 60s of the last century, when the relations between the Ming Republic and the Soviets were hot, the Ming Dynasty had just extricated itself from the tragic war of resistance to aggression and the civil war.

And his grandfather was the main military officer in charge of dealing with the affairs of the experts in aiding China, and he had a good relationship with a well-known aircraft engine technical expert named Alexander, and unknowingly, they influenced each other, including some bad habits. His grandfather gradually became addicted to alcohol, and even dared to pour fighter antifreeze directly into his mouth, while Alexander learned the ancient tradition of the Ming Republic and married his granddaughter, who would not know how many years to be born, as a child daughter-in-law.

Later, the relationship between the countries was tense and the experts who aided China withdrew, even so, it did not affect the private friendship between the two parties, so this matter has never been broken, including Shen Heng, who knew about the existence of such a fiancée since he was a child, and met a few times.

"What's the matter, Shen, don't you want to hear my voice when you answer your phone so slowly?" The voice on the other side sounded, and a faint girl's voice came out.

Shen Heng replied unhurriedly: "You just came back from Wolf 1061c, how was the harvest?" ”

A voice came from the other side: "It's not bad...... Feed! Don't divert the topic, I remember that you asked me to prepare a cosmic environment adaptation suit a few months ago, and I was ready, during this time, we will all rest at the Altai base, and you can come and get it at any time. ”

"That's right." Shen Heng pondered for a moment, touched his head, and said to the girl on the other side of the phone: "I think I will come over in three days, and then I will officially become a member of the waste pickers." ”

The girl opposite was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly: "Then remember, don't run away when the time comes!" I'll keep an eye on you. ”

Shen Heng catered to him, although three days later, even the matter of becoming a scavenger was a certainty, and he even had a ticket to become a scavenger in advance, the "Cosmic Environment Adaptation Suit" was still what he was worried about two years ago, and he was still unable to repair the gadgets that did not show the slightest value like garbage.

"Expecting to find the answer in three days, even if it is a luxury, but how can people not dream?" Shen Heng said a few words to Aurora again, hung up the phone, quickly solved the noodles, and left the noodle restaurant in a hurry.

Unhurried along the way, occasionally you will see small advertisements for "alien antique sales" and "scavenger intermediary services" on the street, although there are some secrets, many people are not aware of them at all, and it must be admitted that their ordinary world is being changed a little.

At home, I continued to stare at the gadgets in front of me, patiently studied, I don't know how much time passed, the sky became dark in a blink of an eye, and the air outside was slightly cool, but looking up at the starry sky, I could see one or two beautiful "meteors" across the sky, spaceships departing from the Altai base.

Shen Heng, who had been thinking for a long time and seemed a little tired, unconsciously noticed another gadget on the corner of the workbench - a language translation device, which accepts a variety of input formats and allows the translation of sounds, texts, and pictures into the language output of ancient sages.

This is a relatively common alien relic, the amount found is not small, can not be regarded as priceless, 1 million can be sold, because it is very practical, very easy to use, it is a successful experience when he was in the earliest days of antiques, and more often, he may find the relics forged by scammers, and the real origin is from a city in the south of the Ming Dynasty, so that he has accumulated a lot of painful lessons, and has become a keen eye to identify relics.

The language translation device was inadvertently fitted next to the gadget, and the two sides were combined with each other, and then he found that they could not be easily separated.

Shen Heng's eyes lit up, this seemed to indicate something, his heart fluttered wildly, he found the key to everything, and then he tried to "activate" the gadget in a way that he had tried countless times but there was no response, and after a while, the surface of the gadget was flooded with bursts of silver brilliance, which continued to spread like ripples, and finally gathered in the lower left corner of the light to become a LOGO, which was a statue of contemplation with a head on his head, some like a contemplative, and then disappeared.

A voice rang out in my head—"The Sky Dome Learning Device is at your service." ”
