"scanning."
Source: [Purple jasmine, an annual herb, rare level two stars, estimated price of 180 star coins/100g. 】
"Youyou, scan."
Origin: [Smilax, a plant belonging to the Sarsaparilla family, with a rare grade of three stars, and an estimated selling price of 850 star coins/100g. 】
"Youyou, scan..."
…………
The forest was pitch black, and as the Mingxi River went deeper and deeper, the surrounding trees became denser and denser.
Lush weeds and unknown shrubs grew side by side. She walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She lost count of how many times she had scanned the area. Anyway, she was almost numb.
When she heard the repeated name from the artificial intelligence's reply again, she finally stopped and looked around.
There are indeed many plants in the mountains, but the variety is actually not as rich as imagined, because the growth pattern of plants can easily form a monopoly.
For example, weeds such as fleabane, foxtail grass, cocklebur, thistle, and thistle always grow in large areas. Once you find one, you don't have to worry about finding the second one. At the same time, it is difficult to grow among them. Other plants were found on the site.
The landforms and climates in the same area are similar, and the plant species growing there are also similar.
If Mingxi wants to find more varieties, he must go to some different places.
For example, the plants growing on the south side of the mountain are definitely different from those on the north side of the mountain, and the vegetation will be different on dry rock formations and wet river banks. In addition, she scanned almost all herbaceous plants, and almost no woody plants.
After all, she only brought a small hoe and couldn't dig up a big tree by the roots. Even if she wore a high-tech auxiliary skeleton, she probably wouldn't be able to do it.
Mingxi was tired and rested for a while, then asked: "Youyou, check the balance."
Reason: [Current balance, 35880520 star coins. 】
After hearing this, Ming Xi let out a long breath: "Huh..."
The hard work was not in vain. After working hard for one night, I almost collected 50% of the money. If I worked for one more night, wouldn't I be able to collect the full amount?
But where else could she look for plants? Without transportation, traveling in ancient times would have been a waste of time.
Forget it, let's talk about the future later. At least now, she doesn't have to worry about the installment repayment within half a year.
Mingxi calmed down and said: "Youyou, purchase the K300 communication satellite, choose installment payment method, and pay the first installment."
Reason: [Okay, the order has been placed, and the current balance is 31147186 star coins. Please go to a relatively open location to facilitate reception of satellites and transmitters. 】
Such large equipment cannot be packed into an ordinary civilian space-time backpack.
But don’t worry, the merchant will provide the best after-sales service, and the satellite will be packed into the temporary space and delivered together. After the delivery is completed, the temporary space can still be maintained for about 4 hours.
So Mingxi must find a suitable place to place the satellite and launch device within 4 hours.
Mingxi continued to climb up the mountain. After climbing for more than an hour, he finally reached a relatively flat position.
She continued to work hard, hoeing away all the weeds on the ground and moving away large rocks. Branches from nearby trees that might have affected the satellite's launch were cut off by her using the Guardian's laser gun.
Finally it was smoothed out, Mingxi straightened up and wiped his sweat.
The stars are shining brightly above our heads, and the mountains and rivers are vast in the distance.
A gust of evening breeze blows, and the cool air enters the lungs, moistened with dew, and all fatigue seems to be eliminated at this moment.
She looked up at the stars again.
No haze, no space debris, so clean and beautiful starry sky.
Well, I'm coming to join you.
"You, install the launch device and conduct debugging." Ming Xi said.
The temporary space was released, and a huge drop-shaped object appeared in the open space. It was about six meters high, silver-white in color, with a sharp top and a round bottom. It appeared in front of Mingxi in a strange semi-suspended state.
As the artificial intelligence adjusted the parameters, six serrated metal claws protruded from the bottom of the water-drop object and pierced into the ground, firmly stabilizing the center of gravity.
Then a small hole opened at the top of the water droplet, and a blue light shot out from the inside of the hole, hitting the sky directly, as if the sky and the earth were connected by a very thin blue line.
This is the launch orbit of artificial satellites. The satellites will rise high into the sky along this orbit until they reach outer space.
Reason: [After debugging, the satellite can be launched at any time. Please retreat to a safe area before launching. 】
Ming Xi looked around and saw that there was no place to hide, so he simply headed down.
After walking about twenty meters, she said to Youyou: "Okay, let's launch."
Reason: [Launch procedure has been started, countdown to liftoff, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...]
The rumbling sound covered up the last voice of the artificial intelligence, and the spurting heat energy set off a huge wave!
The dust and dead branches and leaves were suddenly rolled up, as if the wind and clouds were converging! The earth shook! Everything in front of you is flying sand and rocks!
Ming Xi held down her messed up hair and looked back with squinted eyes. The artificial satellite had risen to a hundred meters away and was gradually moving away, like a small star about to return to the sky.
There were so many man-made satellites in her previous world, and she had seen satellites taking off hundreds of times. She was already tired of seeing them, but this time it seemed to be different.
She watched the star flying higher and higher, feeling a little fluttering in her heart for no reason. It was hard to describe this feeling... as if she was vaguely looking forward to it, and also vaguely worried about what kind of changes she would bring to the world.
Mingxi recovered the remains of the launch device, sold them for 20,000 star coins, and then returned to the foot of the mountain.
It was easier to go up the mountain than it was to go down, and it was even harder to go down at night, so she walked slowly.
Ten minutes later, she heard Youyou's announcement: [The artificial satellite has entered the designated orbit, and the satellite's revolution period will be synchronized with the planet's rotation period. 】
Youyou didn't call this place Earth.
Mingxi guessed that it was probably because the artificial intelligence couldn't determine whether the place she was in was the former Earth or another planet in the parallel universe.
Youyou said: [Currently, artificial satellites can cover 32% of the planet's surface area, and map mapping is now starting. 】
Mingxi nodded and walked down slowly.
The heavy stone in her heart finally fell, and she felt relaxed now, and she was no longer so upset while walking on the bumpy mountain road.
The nearby villages must have heard the sound of satellite launches. Mingxi saw firelight swaying in the villages in the distance, as if someone was running around with a torch.
But they were destined to find nothing and discover nothing.
Mingxi smiled, took a deep breath of the crisp air in the mountains and forests, and continued to move forward happily.
Little did she know that in another town, there was a person who was tossing and turning because of her.
