"Welcome, young man. [Read full text]" The old man wearing the Phoenix I-type armor warmly shook hands with Lu Yuan, who was also wearing the armor.
"Haha~ This armor is a good imitation. If you change the numbers and colors, it will look more like it... Don't be nervous, young man. I also wanted to be an N7 when I was young." The old man saw that on the chest of Lu Yuan's armor, The word "n7" was written in red paint, and I couldn't help but make a joke. Seeing Lu Yuan actually showing a shy expression (actually he was proud...), he suddenly felt that this young man became more and more cute and his attitude was more kind. "You can call me Old Tang, oh, I guess you young people don't understand this anymore If you’ve already addressed me, just call me Tang.”
"Lu Yuan, I still call you Mr. Tang." Lu Yuan said politely, like a well-educated young man. (His teachers and classmates must be crying!
"You understand the difference between these titles, young man, you have a good family." The old man felt very happy. He smiled and took Lu Yuan's arm and walked towards his manor. "Let's go, I'll take you to see this year's pumpkins, the biggest one... Wow~ I think it can hold fifty people, and we can do a great job again this year!"
"Then why not install it with a mass effect core and build a small spaceship that can take off?" Lu Yuan made a suggestion. "Good idea, Xiao Lu, do you like pumpkin car racing? I remember we did this once." The old man was a little surprised. There are fewer and fewer young people who like pumpkin car racing, so he arranged this year's competition to Narcissus (the largest moon of the planet Zion) in an attempt to use the competition in a low gravity environment to attract more young audiences. .
"Of course, in 2170, you installed a mass effect core on a pumpkin as big as a locomotive and outperformed the speeding car. I remember it clearly! ...I am your fan!" I obviously only found out after watching the news a few days ago. But Lu Yuan was still able to pull apart without changing his expression.
"Young man, I really like you more and more!" The old man was so happy that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. The more the two chatted, the more they became interested.
Logically speaking, you should be invited to your home as a guest at this time - but due to restrictions such as quarantine regulations. That's impossible. After Lu Yuan landed on the new planet, because it was a civilian transport, the quarantine observation period lasted for one month. During this month, as long as he was on the surface of the planet, Lu Yuan could not take off his armor, nor could he leave the floating robot beside him. Sight.
Don't be surprised, even though this is the pan-galactic era, the technological capabilities of civilized races are not as advanced as imagined. The ecosystem of every planet is still very fragile. It is rumored that there is a habitable planet because a cargo ship brought a spore. This spore mutates and spreads rapidly in the new environment, and then floats in the air, causing all animals on the planet to have their lungs blocked and suffocate and die one after another within a few weeks. From then on, the planet changed from environmental level 1, and humans could move outdoors without wearing armor. To upgrade to environment level 3, in addition to armor, you also need to wear a filtering mask and undergo up to seven steps of cleaning when returning to the cabin...
There is also the Krogan planet. Because of the smuggled lemurs (which reproduce quickly and like to steal human food), one-third of the population starved to death. Not to mention the genophage virus, which directly destroyed the Krogan empire.
"Come on, young man." Mr. Tang took Lu Yuan's arm and came to the edge of the farm, looking at the huge pumpkins piled up in the field with satisfaction.
"My son doesn't like growing pumpkins, and I think my grandsons probably don't like it either... They all hope to work hard in big cities, or go to space, and become adventurers. I still remember when I was young, in the pumpkin field... ...Ah, I started to be nagging again." After talking 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 you won't make much money shipping these pumpkins. We spend a lot of time every year looking for a carrier. Thank you, young man. I hope to invite you to the Daffodil Star Pumpkin Contest!"…
"Thank you, it's my pleasure."

“After heavy rains, country roads are always muddy.
When I was a child, I liked to look at the streams formed by rain. The clear and transparent water jumped between the sand and branches, sometimes forming a small waterfall. Looking at it, it seems like I can see the scenery of those distant places on TV. For someone like me who grew up in the countryside, I may never go to such a distant place in my life.
But when I was holding my notebook in the hotel and trying to recall my childhood, I suddenly discovered...it turns out that I have been to so many places that I can't even remember them. "
…
"Several people traveling with me were temporarily found online, and they were just for a ride along the way. Those of them who knew each other started chatting. I sat in the front seat, listened to what they said, and added a few words from time to time. When I'm in a bad mood, I like to tell some jokes and watch others laugh. I feel lonely for no reason, so I want to get off 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 an unfinished highway. When he was approaching the toll station, the driver started to find a side road and slipped off. We didn't have much fare, so we praised the driver greatly for this move. The driver Chengxing said that there was a manor near Dayi County that belonged to a local tycoon named Liu Wencai, who was a representative figure of Sichuan's big landowners.
Several Sichuan people laughed it off, saying that they were taken to the revolution several times when they were in elementary school.
This gave me a chance, so I told the driver to let me get out of the car and take a look. A few of them stayed for a while, but finally everyone waved and dispersed. "
…
(I randomly copied two paragraphs from the previous rejected manuscript, and controlled it within 500...
*******
When the spacecraft flies from "Eden" to "Zion", the weight of the spacecraft can only be reduced by half by relying on the mass effect core of the landing space. Therefore, the spacecraft will take more than half a month to travel, and it will not make much money.
In addition to a shipload of giant pumpkins, there are also various items such as packages from courier companies and mailed letters, all of which are destined for the Narcissus colony. This reminded Lu Yuan of his experience as an adventurer in Baldur's Gate... If there is any difference, it is that although the transportation method is irregular, whether sending or receiving, it is a very formal enterprise.
Interstellar transportation costs are extremely expensive, but profits are very slim. If Lu Yuan runs like this once, he may earn three to five thousand stars if he runs smoothly for a whole month... If the engine fails in the middle, it will immediately turn into a loss. So now he understands very well why Li Yunchen, who is so rich, still uses a shabby ship like the "Skywalker" - a Mercedes-Benz to haul watermelons. He can't afford this kind of transportation!
In order to save costs, if there is no cargo ship on the way, express companies usually use something similar to a "cannon" installed on the space station to launch the goods directly in a certain direction for unimportant goods! Then notify the other party through the buoy network to find a way to receive it - it is said that this kind of cargo has a one-third probability of arrival, but if it is not intercepted, there will be as many as one-third of the cargo drifting endlessly among the stars...
Lu Yuan's fingers were flying on the keyboard, and lines of text appeared on the screen. Lu Yuan's initial idea was just to seize an opportunity - writing a book was just an introduction. Lu Yuan also prepared a series of nostalgic tricks - he knew very well that when an entire era begins to be nostalgic, then How powerful this is. Therefore, what needs to be done is to make the most adequate preparations before this tide is triggered.
After all, now is the new age of navigation and the new age of geographical discovery! The overall human spirit must be enterprising and positive. Nostalgia will only be a short-term rebound after a long period of rapid development, and it cannot become the mainstream of social values. Therefore, he plans to actively participate in it, and then when this wave reaches its highest point, he will launch his carefully prepared gift to the world - red wine and cigars from the sixteenth century (well, this thing again, There are also fashionable clothes from the late 20th century (remember when someone raided Ginza - in short, the overall characteristic is that they are extremely expensive!
Lu Yuan plans to prepare more funds for his future ship - the Normandy SR1, the most advanced small ship in the galaxy, is only a little over a hundred meters long, and its research and development expenses and construction cost are as high as two billion stars.
The entire improvised money-making plan is still in line with Lu Yuan's consistent thinking of "doing small things to make things big, and doing big things to make things happen".
But people are so strange.
When Lu Yuan began to recall and write, the memories gradually changed from stagnant to smooth, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in them. The joy of childhood, the boredom in school, the loneliness in boarding, the college entrance examination to university and work...many scenes reminded him vividly. He gave up the idea of extracting the text directly from his memory, and for the first time in the past century, he planned to use his fingers to type out these memories bit by bit.
Perhaps it was because the time gap was too long. Sometimes, he remembered the incident but had forgotten how he felt at the time.
In order to regain his thoughts at that time, he would land on the planet Eden, talk to old people like Mr. Tang, hang out in bars in the city, 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 so eternal...
At this time, Lu Yuan completely gave up the idea of making money and started writing this book seriously.
While writing his own book, he searched for the original philosophy of life through communicating with the aboriginal people, and by the way, he helped the colonial people do some transportation work within his ability. Lu Yuan only regarded it as a help and never thought about making any money from it, so he made many friends. As his footprints spread throughout the "Utopia" galaxy, his reputation among the residents is getting better and better...
Until one day in the future, Lu Yuan's former schoolmate Ashley Williams, who was promoted to sergeant, was dispatched to serve on the planet "Eden". When she discovered that Lu Yuan actually had a reputation as flawless as a saint among the colonial residents, she almost fainted!
