When he received the "Shepard" photo from Hua Mei, Lu Yuan was driving a hover car alone - controlling the radar in one hand and holding the compass in the other - wandering around the planet Eden... and then when he casually clicked on After the letter, I almost fell out of the car!
For a few seconds, he thought Li Huamei had made an unprecedented joke on him.
However, after a simple verification, Lu Yuan agreed with Li Huamei's judgment - even though this version of Shepard has no similarity with the original game company's promotional poster, nor can it be created by any face-making software. It can even be said that the current "Shepard" appearance is so dazzling that she may not be suitable for the job of "ghost agent" at all.
But Lu Yuan and Li Huamei still saw her essence at a glance. It's hard to say what kind of... quality that is, like being a born savior? In short, the reason why they can see it is because they have seen it in Mu Xing - that kind of domineering attitude that will break your body into pieces and give you the best! But Mu Xing is based on top academics and hundreds of years of vicissitudes of life as its foundation. Shepard is only in his twenties now, but Ke Xue...
Forget it, just find it. This year is 2176, and there are still six years until the Reapers appear.
Lu Yuan just told Li Huamei to try not to have a big conflict with Shepard and not to influence her, so he left this line undisclosed for the time being. With Li Huamei's arrogance, let her take the initiative to make friends with Shepard? Lu Yuan did not dare to try to spoil the plot - because every time Li Huamei took the initiative to do this in the past, the person she befriended ended up becoming a crew member on her ship - he was so overbearing!

Li Huamei was sent to the training camp and temporarily disappeared from sight.
Mu Xing is working hard on the mass effect relay. Every time Lu Yuan sends a letter, the biochemical robot replies. Mu Xing even purchased a batch of core components for making cruisers through the Star Alliance military, and planned to use the remaining materials from the repeater to build an experimental battle cruiser in the Caribbean world - as you can imagine , what kind of mood will the people of that world feel when they see an extra battleship under construction in the sky? In short, that world is about to be ruined by the Dawn...
The remaining people had nothing major to do for the time being, so Lu Yuan took a full period of time to prepare to proceed according to the planned plan - to search for the Prothean ruins on Eden.
If Dawn wants to compete with the Mona people, the only way is to maximize the potential of the plot world to strengthen itself based on its own technology. In the world of Mass Effect, if Dawn wants to quickly obtain technological supplements, it should come from three aspects-the first is aliens such as Asari, Turian, and Salarian. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and the different systems of aliens can provide a good reference for Dawn. And with Star Alliance as a sample, Dawn doesn't have to worry about going astray.
The second item is the Protheans 50,000 years ago - to a certain extent, the overall strength of the Protheans empire, which once dominated the galaxy, and the Mona country, which occupies a cantilever of the galaxy, should be basically equivalent. In contrast, the Protheans have black technologies such as repeaters and mass effects, while the Monas have mature mental interference methods such as mind control and soul impact.
In terms of overall strength, it is really impossible to evaluate who is higher and who is lower - but in terms of fleet, the Monas completely destroyed the Protheans - the dozens of kilometers long dreadnoughts defeated all races in the galaxy.
The third item comes from the Reapers... After all, the Reapers have collected the technology of countless generations of civilizations. Although they themselves seem to have stopped progressing, they are still the largest treasure trove in the world.
What Lu Yuan is looking for is the complete key to the Prothean civilization - the beacon!
*****
I still remember that the origin of the Mass Effect world began with a Prothean ruins mining site on the planet of Eden, and with a newly discovered Prothean "beacon."
Fifty thousand years ago, the Protheans were at their peak, and their empire conquered the entire galaxy—and dug holes into every part of the galaxy. Therefore, when a new round of civilization was born and began to expand, Prothean relics were constantly discovered and excavated throughout the galaxy - that kind of feeling is really something that no one knows...
I was overjoyed to have developed a piece of virgin land, and then dug out the stone tablet "I came here for a visit". It was so refreshing... No matter how I thought about it, I felt like I was being cheated!
Just like the Prothean ruins that humans discovered on Mars and triggered the revolution in human science and technology, it was probably the Protheans' monitoring station for earth creatures back then - sorry, humans were still monkeys on trees at that time... ...Even if you want to stage the War for the Planet of the Apes, you still have to evolve for tens of thousands of years.
Most of these Prothean relics are difficult to parse and useless. Imagine that the residential building where you live may become a relic in a few thousand years - a large number of scientists surround your bed and study your sleeping position - this is so unreliable! But we can’t expect that the Prothean Empire will be exterminated soon, and we still have the leisure to put nameplates on future people, telling them those parts that need to focus on...
In fact, the Protheans have evolved to the level of communicating completely with consciousness, so it is very difficult for contemporary technology to decipher the cultural heritage left by the Protheans. So far, researchers have not been able to figure out what the specific social structure of the Protheans is.
When the Protheans knew they were doomed, they did leave a warning about the Reapers to future civilizations. The devices that store these warnings are distributed throughout the galaxy. Most of them have been buried and destroyed over a long period of time, and almost none are intact. This device is capable of stimulating and changing areas of a creature's brain, allowing it to receive and understand the information stored within it.
This device is called a "beacon". "Beacon" is not only a warning message, but also a "password" for solving puzzles of Prothean civilization. Only in this way can we accurately understand the various messages left by the Protheans.
Lu Yuan wanted to find the intact beacon before it was excavated.
But when Lu Yuan started looking for it, he realized how big a planet really is! This human colony, inhabited by nearly 100,000 people, can hardly occupy even one pixel on a planet. Imagine - you are asked to find a telephone pole buried underground all over the earth... This is the feeling of confusion!
In desperation, Lu Yuan used his left hand to operate the "Prothean Ruins Detector" that he bought from the black market and was not sure whether it could be used. Carrying the "Captain Jack's Compass" borrowed from the Lord God Xing Yan in his right hand, he circled around the human colony and embarked on the vast road of search...
*****
At this time, General Hackett was busy selecting the new commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet; Li Yunchen had officially reported to the Fifth Fleet; Lu Yuan's mind was filled with the compass spinning epileptically.
No one realizes that Lu Yuan still has a book left at the online publishing company...
