001 Picking up trash
Stardate 1307, Junk Star No. 101.
The sun was high and the air was very dull. A huge alliance-standard spaceship suddenly shuttled through the atmosphere. The spacecraft then dived straight down to the ground. When it was less than 500 meters away from the ground, the cabin door opened and a huge amount of garbage poured out.
out--
Boom boom boom——
The thunderous sound lasted for twenty minutes before stopping.
After dumping the garbage, the spacecraft closed the hatch again and soared into the atmosphere——
But within half an hour, another spacecraft followed closely——
Boom boom boom again——
The spacecraft carrying garbage continued to land and take off, bringing with it gusts of wind, which swept countless sand and dust and massive amounts of garbage... and wreaked havoc on the garbage star No. 101.
It was so dark that it blocked out the sky and the sun...
Through a protective barrier, Ji You looked at the doomsday scene on the opposite side, but her eyes were unfazed. No matter how spectacular the spectacle was, it would become boring as long as you watched it for a long time.
It has been half a year since she traveled to the garbage planet labeled 101. During these six months, spacecraft dumped garbage on Planet 101 every day, so this scene happened every day.
When the last spaceship left, the violent wind gradually subsided... Jiyou, who was waiting next to the protective barrier, suddenly had a light in her eyes: she was about to climb over the protective barrier and go to pick up garbage on the other side. She thought maybe
What valuable things can I find today?
Standing by the protective barrier, waiting to scavenge for rubbish, were not only Ji You, but also her three neighbors: Uncle Xie Yi, a middle-aged man with a weathered face, Grandma Jenny, who had silver hair, and tall, straight, handsome face.
Ryan is a handsome but serious young man.
After the storm stopped, a few people said nothing and put on their armor silently, because the environment outside the protected area was very harsh. In addition to sand and putrid garbage, there was also seriously polluted air and cosmic radiation... If you didn't wear it,
The armor left the protective area. This was simply asking for death. Ji You finished putting it on in silence. She turned to the other people. Xie Yi and Ryan had already finished it. Only the older Grandma Jenny took a step slower and saw everyone looking at her.
, Grandma Jenny said with a smile: "I'm ready, let's go."
Ryan raised his feet and walked outside the barrier first.
Xie Yi followed closely behind.
Ji You was hesitant about whether to come to the rear, but Grandma Jenny smiled and said, "Ah You, you go first, and I'll go behind."
Jiyou nodded: "Okay."
Among the four people, except for Ryan, Uncle Xie Yi, Grandma Jenny and Ji You are all aborigines of Planet 101. Their ancestors are all rooted in this planet and they are very familiar with each other, so they often meet up.
Picking up trash is also convenient for taking care of each other. As for Ryan? Ryan is the one who just immigrated to Planet 101 this year. It is said that he used to be an Alliance soldier, but retired due to injury. As for Ryan, why did he choose to immigrate to Planet 101? What are the details?
No one knows the reason.
Ryan didn't want to say that the neighbors didn't take the initiative to inquire about his secrets. Moreover, since the powerful Ryan joined the scavenging team, everyone's safety was better guaranteed, and everyone was very grateful for this.
The four people passed through the protective barrier and entered the garbage dump, searching in four corners.
The environment outside the protected area is harsh. Through the armor, you can smell the stench emanating from the garbage dump. Ji You bent down, frowned, and widened his eyes to carefully search for useful things... like discarded mecha materials.
, spare parts for household robots, etc. These are the most valuable scraps in the garbage dump and are also our main targets.
Tick tock~
Tick tock~
Tick tock~
Time passed quietly, and Ji You spent a long time trying, but couldn't find any useful scrap. She was very disappointed, and squatted down to rest for a while before continuing her struggle.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of his eyes. Ji You's eyes lit up. He thought it was something good and hurriedly took a step forward. However, when he was about to get closer, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming. Ji You felt bad and wanted to
She avoided it, but it was too late. Her arm was severely bitten by the surprise attack. Fortunately, it was blocked by armor and did not break. It was also at this time that Ryan from the next door arrived in time. He raised the energy sword in his hand.
He quickly drew out his sword, and the thing that attacked Ji You fell to the ground with a clang, and was cut in half in an instant. Dark green blood was flowing on the ground...
This is--
Ryan said with a straight face: "Level 1 scavenger rat, be careful."
Fortunately, it is only level 1. If it is level 3 or above, their teeth can bite through the armor. Ji You doesn't want this arm anymore. She was frightened and said with gratitude in her eyes: "Lian, thank you."
Scavenging rats are rats that look similar to those of the 21st century, but are very large, usually weighing about five pounds each. They are the most common star beasts in garbage dumps. Their bodies are not afraid of radiation and can withstand harsh environments.
, the reproductive capacity is very strong, and scavenger rats feed on the residual energy on various materials in the garbage dump. They often eat the materials before the scavengers find valuable waste. In addition, they will also take the initiative to attack
Humans are therefore a very troublesome and annoying species.
Ryan nodded and left immediately.
Ji You looked at Ryan's tall back. While feeling grateful, she couldn't help but feel envious. How great would it be if she could also have an energy sword? However, it is impossible for a poor person to afford such expensive energy.
of weapons.
After adjusting her mood, Ji You continued to dig through the garbage.
Five minutes passed——
Ten minutes passed——
Thirty minutes passed——
…
However, Ji You still found nothing.
She was helpless.
At this time, Grandma Jenny next to her screamed in surprise, which immediately attracted the attention of the other three people. They saw Grandma Jenny bending down and using pliers to push away the garbage at her feet. What was revealed was a intact alloy box.
Xie Yi said with envy: "Aunt Jenny, you are so lucky."
Grandma Jenny's face was also filled with joy, and then she asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Ryan looked up and said: "This is a mecha energy box. It is only level 1. It does not store much energy. However, this energy box is not damaged at all, and the energy inside should not be lost." This level 1 energy box is not damaged at all.
The energy box can sustain the energy consumption of low-star mechas for a week, but when used on mechas of 3-star or higher level, it can only sustain the energy consumption for one day, so the value is not high, and the price is about 500 alliance credits.
However--
500 credits are enough for Jiyou's living expenses for more than two months!
After Jiyou heard this, his eyes widened with envy. He looked around the level 1 energy box, looking left and right. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He just hated why he didn't discover this thing by himself.
When Grandma Jenny heard this, she couldn't stop the joy on her face: "This is great, my family's Leah's tuition and miscellaneous fees have been paid." Leah is Grandma Jenny's granddaughter and her only relative in the world, so
Grandma Jenny loved Leah especially. She chose to take risks to scavenge in order to let Leah take a private class in mecha materials.
