What does it feel like to look up at the stars?
What does it feel like to be able to touch the universe when you reach out your hand?
"Actually, it's nothing special."
Lu Pingan reached out his hand and tried to hold the star in front of him that was so huge that it was almost visible to the naked eye, but it only blocked the overly shining visible light.
Everything seems to be no different from when it was on the surface.
It’s just that the stars are right in front of you, and the universe is at your left and right
"Meow, it's delicious! It's a bit like shrimp meat, meow! But more tender!"
The evil cat that was being devoured not far away broke the silence and poetry of the starry sky, and allowed Lu Ping'an to return to the peaceful life of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
This is the space platform of the Glory and the spaceship of the Hammer Man.
The upper part of the space platform has been opened, and although the air can still be felt, it has a subtle fishy smell.
What can keep Lu Ping An in the same state as on the ground is just a watch on the wrist. It is an "environmental adaptation device" that every civilization has. It is not only cheap but also has mature technology.
The opening of the seventh area is an opportunity, an opportunity, ushering in a large number of foreign races who are interested in the new star civilization of Earth. At the same time, it also gives its participants the comfort zone of leaving the human "territory" and borrowing the channels of foreign races. A chance to step out into the universe alone.
There may be more risks, but there are also clearly more opportunities.
"The basic characteristics of your tribe are good. The initial screening rate is more than 50%, and the upper limit of high-level strategic-level combat power is quite high, which has attracted a lot of attention."
These are the exact words of a frank Hammer man. Lu Pingan is no longer face-blind, but he still has a hard time distinguishing these racial individuals with almost identical faces (in human vision).
He tried to use life perception to capture the other person's physical signs, but only caught one Lonely. Even now, he still has not figured out what the other person's physical structure is.
The words of these hammer men may seem simple, but they actually have two meanings.
One is literal. They believe that the human race has a high minimum limit and sufficient potential. The basic screening rate of up to 50% means that once a large-scale forced screening occurs, a large number of potential soldiers will appear.
For the ethnic groups in the outside world, this "talent" also means that humans are a high-potential ethnic group.
The innate high pollution resistance will naturally increase after several eras of screening. Even if professionals and their descendants cannot become natural superpowers, they will still have more pollution resistance than others.
Pollution resistance is the prerequisite for controlling pollution to obtain supernatural abilities. You must first become a container before you can control its contents.
"Your tribe is now somewhat famous in a small area."
This obviously has nothing to do with small fights like Lu Ping'an's. It is the good deeds done by the real high-level combat forces on the main battlefields including the Silent Mountains.
If the Law Order level is what the residents of the outer world call meteors, then those strong ones above the Rule level are "stars", stars that can light up an entire scene alone, or little suns that can destroy a small world alone ( nuclear bomb).
In a sense, over-developed high-level professionals are also the reason why civilizations like the Earth are not very focused on "technology". Under the premise that the original material science is trapped outside the microscopic world, their future in the short term He is not as good as a lone traveler in the extraordinary world.
Those strong men from the earth have made a great name in the multiverse, and naturally their hometown and ethnic group have gained more attention.
Up and down, on paper and in actual combat, the Nirvana Plan that had just opened the Star Gate attracted a wave of attention with its strength.
And these reputations are also the reason why Lu Ping'an and his party were able to receive this commission.
"Going back and forth from a neighboring world within a month, huh, faster than the Ship of God."
Small boats in the material world are always faster than arks, but in Lu Pingan's eyes, the subspace flying principles of these two vehicles seem to be different.
Lu Ping'an's frequent staring at the sky is actually analyzing the rules of subspace travel.
An accurate and complete report on the analysis of the Hammer Man's spaceship has not yet been obtained.
It seems that they are not forcibly distorting their "vibration frequency" to achieve resonance, but using more subtle means to take a conventional "channel."
"Did you see something?"
"You can see it. There's no way I can understand it."
But after the initial efforts, he, who lacked basic knowledge in this area, really became star-gazing.
By the way, Lu Pingan is now wearing an eyepatch made of cloth strips on his face. For the mental health of the aliens and to reduce trouble, Lu Pingan feels that it is better to aggrieve himself.
"You should take more responsibility if something happens, I'm stupid anyway."
The "blind man" was peacefully enjoying life in this foreign land, and he often took the initiative to chat with his temporary employers, either to learn about technology or information.
Others feel more subtle.
This time it was just a short-distance mission that lasted for a month. It took about ten days on the ship and back, and the actual work was less than two weeks. It was considered the simplest mercenary mission.
The task content is as simple as going to a certain place, killing something, and bringing something back, and the employer is also responsible for the transportation fare.
The reward is relatively simple, just some strengthening potions for the Hammer people. However, these are commonly used items within their clan, but their sales are restricted to the outside world. All that can be bought and sold are inferior products among inferior products.
When an outsider accepts this task, it can be regarded as establishing a connection with his tribe. In this way, the "consumables" within his tribe will naturally be open to you. This is a hard rule similar to "contribution", and the personal thoughts of the businessman cannot be bypassed. .
From an employer's perspective, just these consumables can hire several "Walker"-level combatants, which is quite cost-effective.
For travelers like Lu Ping'an and other foreigners, the so-called rewards themselves are not important. The important thing is to integrate into the circulation of this star field and gain more "common sense" of the so-called star field civilization.
On the journey to the mission target location, you can naturally get to know more residents of the outside world, and even get rid of the channel restrictions of your original employer.
In a sense, this is another function of District 7. While exporting cheap labor, it also brings back foreign exchange, new technology, and more intelligence.
Although it is a bit frustrating overall, if you only look at the development process, it cannot be regarded as a simple loss.
Even during these few days on the ship, Lu Pingping and his party were baptized in three views every day.
In the past, I had always played with my own people on human territory, a low-risk territory, but now that I have opened the star gate, I am "going global" on my own account.
The Hammer people are very friendly, perhaps because in their eyes, although the reputation of the group is not outstanding, these average walker-level people are worthy of guest-level treatment.
Therefore, those "common senses among the stars" did not hide anything from Lu Ping'an and his party, and were even willing to take the initiative to explain to curious people.
"Fight? We are just traveling merchants, not good at fighting. At this time, just spend some money to recruit mercenaries."
"This time there is a problem in one of our resource areas. There are eyewitness reports from our old enemy tribe there. I hope it's too late. If not, just take it as revenge."
It was a simple and straightforward task, but for Lu Ping'an and his party, they were more interested in some of the daily necessities provided by the other party.
For example, various basic equipment adapted to the environment, such as cheap and reliable airborne warehouses. Lu Ping'an vaguely noticed that the goods taken out in the seventh area looked scary, but in fact they were a bit inferior to real star travelers. It feels like exchanging glass beads for gold.
When everything seemed fine, Lu Ping'an and his party also practiced with these hammer men. Of course, this was under the premise that both parties had made an agreement not to use their own supernatural abilities.
Once this really started, Lu Ping'an was also sure that they were not as harmless and powerless as they said.
