Wasteland Garbage Planet 48 Return to Rust Planet
Two months later, Ethan finally received the news that Themis was coming back.
Because of the time difference, Ethan got up in the middle of the night and wrote back to Themis: "Be careful not to bring back the little tail."
Ethan didn't know that Oasis City had installed a large city defense formation, so he was very cautious and told him not to bring a devastating blow to the current Rust Star.
Themis replied: "I know."
Now they don't have any tail behind them.
At first, the Ghost Fleet and Leon's spaceships were still following, but as Themis launched a series of blatant air raids, several warships followed, and the Ghost Fleet had to be the first to move away from the source of the disaster.
He was afraid that he had done nothing and the federal army would find a reason to seize him.
Xavier ordered to leave with great regret.
Leon wanted to continue following, but unfortunately the spacecraft did not have enough energy to fly in space for a long time.
The main reason is that I didn’t expect things to turn out like this before I came here.
Leon retreated in regret.
After the federal handling results came out, all federal troops withdrew.
Themis did not return immediately. Instead, he stopped at several medium-sized and relatively backward planetary ports. After making sure that no one was following him, he turned and headed towards the Rusty Planet.
When there were still two star systems away from the Rust Star, Themis was still worried and replaced the starship with the Linglong Tower.
Linglong Tower is invisible to the outside world. Even if there is a force that he cannot detect tracking it, he will only see the starship disappear into thin air and will not be able to detect any signal (Linglong Tower has no signal device).
The continuous heavy snow on Rust Planet finally stopped, and the entire planet was covered in white.
And among the snow-capped mountains, there is a distinct green color that attracts the children's attention.
"Will that be our home from now on?"
Xie Yunsui heard this and turned around, smiling and answering, "Yes, it's a forest farm, but the trees there are only fruit trees growing there right now, so we can have fresh fruit to eat in the winter."
Before coming, the atmosphere was inevitably a bit awkward when the children heard that the place where they would live in the future would be a garbage planet.
But everyone looked at Xie Yunsui and then at Ximis. Neither of them seemed like the type of people who would associate with trash, so they gradually accepted it.
They arrived at the right time as a snowstorm had covered almost all the garbage mountains in sight into snow mountains.
The cold air temporarily suppressed the air on the Rusty Star, which was originally full of flavor.
After getting off the spaceship, we arrived at the border of Oasis City.
A group of Rustmen are patrolling here.
Robots clear the snow every day. Within the entire circle of Oasis City, only rooftops and some uninhabited areas still have snow on them, while other places look very clean.
A clean city, neat houses, neatly divided fields, and people in good spirits.
The children's anxiety gradually subsided.
Ethan didn't see the starship land until the spaceship transformed from Linglong Tower landed and came to greet it.
Moira and Victor followed Ethan, except for Sarah who had fallen asleep.
Following behind are Kahn, Leo and others.
Needless to say, Kahn is the only one among the Rusted People who has the ability to transform robots. Leo and a few others have mastered a certain technology and are currently considered to be semi-leaders among the Rusted People.
There was not much work to do in winter, so Ethan picked these people out for intensive training.
Although the learning directions are different, many of the basic contents are connected. We recite together, get scolded together, take exams together, and make up exams together. Except for the complicated feelings of love and hate towards teacher Ethan, we naturally developed a deep friendship.
When Kahn saw Ethan coming to welcome Ximith and Xie Yunsui back, he put down his book and followed him. When the others saw him leave, they also came along (to be lazy).
Ethan's side was large and powerful, and the children's side was also large and powerful.
After the two sides met eyes, they were stunned for a moment.
It was the first time for Leo and other Rust people to see aliens. Seeing that some of them had no arms and some had no legs, they thought to themselves: So all aliens look like this. It doesn't look very convenient for them to work.
The children looked at some of the Rust People with rich hair colors and shiny silver skin, and silently complained: Are they humans or robots?
Ethan said, "I've already had the robots clean all the vacant houses. Since everyone has decided to stay here, why don't you go choose the house you want to live in?"
Leo's sister Luoya smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the cafeteria to prepare the meal."
Xie Yunsui: "The cafeteria?"
Before Xie Yunsui left, there was indeed a cafeteria, but it was a special area for the rust people to eat.
Most of the meals that Xie Yunsui prepares every day are fast food, which is delicious and convenient.
After all, he didn't have a dedicated chef module, so he couldn't let the chef robot cook. The cooking skills of the Rust People were almost non-existent, and Xie Yunsui himself couldn't put everything aside to prepare meals for more than 5,000 people.
Luo Ya's smile remained unchanged: "I have passed the canteen's recruitment qualification. Now many people who eat the food I cook say it tastes good."
Ethan explained, "She's quite talented at this. She can recreate many delicious dishes by following videos. At first, she just helped cook for her family and the neighbors. When I found out, I asked her to try cooking in the cafeteria. Over 90% of the Rust people supported her, so I decided to let her work there."
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "Okay, if you need food, just apply."
Luo Ya nodded and ran towards the cafeteria happily.
A shelter, a delicious meal, and the natives' curious but non-malicious gazes allowed the children to quickly integrate into the place.
Ethan didn't immediately plan what work they were going to do, and focused on adapting to the environment here first.
"They don't have prosthetic limbs, but their lives still have inconveniences. Will it always be like this?"
Ethan sat at the dining table in the villa and enjoyed Xie Yunsui's cooking after a long time.
Xie Yunsui asked, "Your prosthetic limbs all have nerve connections. If they want to connect the prosthetic limbs now, do they have to endure a rejection reaction?"
Themis nodded: "Only researchers can operate this technology, and we don't know how to do it."
In other words, even if they found prosthetic limbs now, they would not be able to fit the children.
Xie Yunsui leaned back in his chair and thought.
Seeing that he had barely eaten a bite of food, Themis couldn't help but say, "They should have been prepared for all of this. That's why they don't want to return to the Federation in their current state."
Ethan scraped the sauce off the plate with his big white steamed bun. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. As long as you take good care of yourself, living to old age won't be a problem. You don't have to be like us, where your lifespan depends on your energy tank. Once that tank explodes, we're gone too."
Xie Yunsui sighed, "That's not what I'm thinking about... Let's send a group of robots to take care of their daily lives first."
In the afternoon, Xie Yunsui was still thinking about the situation of these children when he heard a sound outside the yard.
"Let me help you."
"unnecessary."
"There's a small pit ahead, be careful."
"Move aside, I can see for myself."
Xie Yunsui walked to the door and saw Kahn standing next to Zhou Yunting, with a worried expression and his hands stretched out, as if ready to help her at any time.
Zhou Yunting, also known as G1663, only held a wooden stick to help him balance and jumped steadily towards the villa step by step.
Xie Yunsui said to Kahn, "Go to the studio first."
Kahn looked back every few steps and went to work obediently.
Zhou Yunting was standing outside the yard, propping himself up with a stick, and met Xie Yunsui's gaze: "I asked them and they said you lived here."
"Yes." Xie Yunsui nodded: "I live here with Ximis. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come here."
Zhou Yunting jumped twice more, reached the wall, and slowly walked to the door, leaning against the wall. "I've been here for several days. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xie Yunsui made room for the door: "What do you want to do?"
"Anything is fine, but don't let me lie in the room like a useless waste." Zhou Yunting pursed his lips, with a stubborn expression on his face.
A moment later, Zhou Yunting sat on the sofa in the living room and took the hot tea brewed by Xie Yunsui.
Xie Yunsui explained, "Winter is a time for rest and recuperation. The land is frozen solid, and the farmers don't have much to do. Only the orchards at the forest farm need manual care."
"Then I'll go to the forest farm." Zhou Yunting said.
"It's a pity that the forest farm already had enough manpower to take care of it before you came." Xie Yunsui smiled faintly: "Even if you went there, you wouldn't be able to get any work. The local people want work more than you do."
Their living standards are improved by the hours they earn from working.
Now the rust farmers in the forest farm are the most enviable of all the rust farmers.
Zhou Yunting lowered her eyes and glanced at her legs. If she were to compare herself with those rustic people with intact legs, she really couldn't "grab" them.
She hammered the remaining leg in anger, complaining why the researcher cut the leg instead of other parts of her body.
Xie Yunsui said hurriedly, "Actually, there might not be a job for you... or rather, there might be a job that only you can do."
Zhou Yunting suddenly raised his eyes: "What kind of work?"
Xie Yunsui did not answer directly, but instead introduced the current situation of the Rust Star to her.
This is a planet covered in garbage, and the only safe zone is this oasis city.
Unfortunately, they are not yet able to be self-sufficient in Oasis City. Many supplies, including food, need to be obtained from outside the planet, but they don’t even have the Federation’s common currency.
The only way to make money at present is to use their existing resources - waste materials from the garbage dump to transform them into robots, and then trade them with pirates in exchange for supplies.
"Trading solely with pirates is still too unstable. It can only help us transition in the early stages. Ultimately, we still have to use legal and formal trading channels."
Trading with pirates is like making a living by looking at the weather and the mood of the pirates. Pirates have no credibility and can turn their backs on you at any time.
Originally, the only option was to trade with the pirates. After all, the robots produced by Rusted Star did not have federally recognized qualifications.
But after Xie Yunsui knew Zhou Fuli's identity, he had a new idea.
After Zhou Yunting lost her memory, it was clear that no researcher had taught her how to trade. She paused and asked, "So what can I do? Fly a spaceship and deliver goods?"
"No. I need you to help us negotiate for a factory that can legally modify robots."
Xie Yunsui smiled: "With Zhou Fuli."
