For more than 2,000 years since the founding of the Galaxy Empire, ancient humans have been defined as a weak race that should have been eliminated long ago. Even though the Empire has been calling for racial equality on the surface, discrimination and exclusion are still everywhere.
For example, for the same job position, people would rather hire Bis people or evolved people; for the same salary, ancient humans need to work harder; for another example, there are obviously many outstanding ancient humans in all walks of life, but everyone says that ancient humans are not good enough and have already lost genetically.
How could ancient humans, who were so weak and had such inferior genes, be superior to the Bis and Evolved Man?
But what is the reality?
Who knows the result if you don’t try?
It is not terrible for a person to be denied. What is terrible is that as time goes by, even he himself agrees with such denial and willingly confines himself to the bottom of a well, no longer daring to imagine the vastness and magnificence of the sky and fields outside the well.
Luther was accustomed to such denials, but he did not think he should be a frog forever squatting at the bottom of a well.
There was a fire burning in his heart, urging him all the time to jump out and take a look, to jump out of this remote planet and take a look.
And high-speed shuttle racing is his only way to jump out of this well.
The rewards for the competition are not only generous star coins, but also the opportunity to take the spaceship in the inner city and travel to Sikkim legally.
The capital planet Sikkim is a name that is absolutely familiar to the residents of the garbage planet B3024, yet it is an extremely distant name, so far away that many people will never be able to see that magnificent dark golden planet in their entire lives.
"If you really want to participate in podracing, I suggest you rebuild this podracing car. Although podracing is a life-threatening sport, it is better to be recognized while alive than to be ridiculed after death," Ruan Shiqing said at last.
Although Luther's ideas were somewhat radical, he agreed with them.
If people want to jump out of the existing framework and get rid of some constraints, they must have the courage to burn their boats.
He admired Luther's courage and was willing to add some fuel to the flames.
Luther was stunned for a while before he said, "You are the first person to support me. My friends all thought I was crazy and had wild ideas."
"The poet Södergrand once said: All stars will eventually disappear, but they always shine fearlessly."
Ruan Shiqing showed him the virtual screen of the intelligent computer: "But I think you should be fully prepared before proving your fearlessness."
On the virtual screen is a budget list.
"These are the parts that need to be replaced for your podracing car. If your budget is sufficient, I can help you modify it. Although I can't guarantee that you will win, as long as you drive it correctly, at least there will be no accidents."
There was a long list of parts that Luther couldn't understand. He looked down and saw the price at the end. "So many parts, only 3,000 star coins?"
"Friendship price." Ruan Shiqing smiled: "But let's make a deal first, if you win, I'll get 20% of the prize money."
"Deal." Luther transferred his last savings to him: "If I really win, I'll give you 30% of it."
Ruan Shiqing gestured to him, "I'll replace the anti-gravity generator for you first. The shuttle car will be with me until the competition starts."
Luther nodded repeatedly, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.
When Ruan Shiqing left, he accompanied him to the door.
A neighbor heard the conversation between the two and looked at Ruan Shiqing critically, saying in a mocking tone: "Luther, your second-hand racing car has not been repaired yet? Could this be the new mechanic you found?"
Luther frowned and glanced at him, saying with disgust: "You spent a lot of star coins on filling your front teeth, didn't you?"
The neighbor is a Bis man, who is in the form of a hyena. If it weren't for the tail behind him, he would look more like a "weak" ancient human than the tall and strong Luther.
"I just want to remind you not to be fooled. You are really unkind." The neighbor was reminded by him and remembered the painful experience of having his front tooth broken last time. He ran away in panic, covering the tooth that had just been repaired not long ago.
Seeing him run away, Luther put away his anger and said to Ruan Shiqing: "Don't pay attention to what he says. He can't beat me, so he always wants to get the upper hand with words." But he doesn't like to talk, and he will never waste his breath on things that can be done with action.
Ruan Shiqing shook his head and said goodbye to him. He handed the list to 09 and said, "Let's go to the underground market to buy parts first."
A master and a servant were walking on the way to the underground market.
The new and exquisite golden robot attracted many curious eyes, and those who knew the goods whispered: "Is this a PL-3 military robot?"
"I think it's just an ordinary robot that copied its appearance. If they really got a military robot, who would dare to show it off?"
"That's true... but the imitation is so realistic, the technique is pretty good."
"This level of skill requires at least a first-class mechanic, right?"
“…”
09Listening to the discussions around him, he straightened his back proudly, raised his chin slightly, and in his heart he was praising his master like crazy: My master's skills are so amazing, you guys should come find him!!
Unfortunately, no one could hear his inner cry.
09Looking around, I felt the loneliness of a jewel hidden in a box with no one to appreciate it.
Ruan Shiqing didn't pay much attention to these discussions. His attention was attracted by a group of soldiers. In recent days, he could often see patrolling soldiers everywhere in the outer city.
This has never happened before.
When he arrived at the underground market, he took the opportunity of picking out spare parts to casually mention the sudden appearance of the soldier patrol.
"You mean those guards?" The stall owner showed an excited look: "Do you know the auction a while ago?"
Ruan Shiqing nodded calmly: "I know, it seems that something was lost at the auction."
"That's right! The top item of the auction was a nine-tailed fox cub." The stall owner lowered his voice and sounded mysterious. "But after the auction, the cub was lost! It is said that the buyer was a big shot in the inner city. He was very angry and suspected that someone broke into the auction warehouse and stole the nine-tailed fox cub. He has sent the inner city patrol team to search for it for several days."
He threw up his hands in a gloating manner: "But I didn't find even a single fox hair."
So that's how it is. Thinking of the little fox that looked like a ball of fire, Ruan Shiqing didn't know whether he hoped it would be found or not.
I was lost in thought for a while, then found it funny.
Whether he could find it or not, he could do nothing about it. It was indeed like worrying about something that was not worth eating.
Shaking his head, Ruan Shiqing handed the newly purchased anti-gravity thruster to 09, and then went back to Lu De's house to replace new parts for the shuttle racing car.

On the other side, at home.
Rong Heng lay on the windowsill to bask in the sun.
Although it was artificial sunlight, the warm feeling was real. He squinted his eyes comfortably, and the tail swaying slightly behind him showed his good mood.
As the crown prince of the empire, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely has such leisure time.
When he was a cub, his mother began to teach him strictly, and his life was filled with various courses. Later, his mother died, and his relationship with his father became more and more alienated. In addition, when he entered the growth period, he was sent to the Yanjis region to guard, fighting against the Zerg day and night.
In the past twenty-six years, there have been very few moments of warmth.
Instead, it was the unexpected landing on this remote planet that made him feel a rare sense of relief.
Without the constraints of his status as the heir to the empire, he could freely express his emotions. He could also stay away from political struggles and conspiracies, temporarily unload the burden on his shoulders, and gain a brief peace.
There was a slight sound of water splashing beside him. Rong Heng glanced at the side and saw that the artificial mermaid was holding its own tail and examining it carefully.
After a period of treatment, the wounds on his tail have begun to heal, and some places have even grown thin, soft scales. The new scales reflect fine blue light in the sunlight, making the bumpy and ugly fish tail look a little more pleasing to the eye.
Rong Heng snorted softly.
Thinking of the ministers of Sikkim who were scheming against each other, this artificial mermaid didn't seem so bad after all.
Instead, the little mermaid noticed his gaze and found that he was staring at her tail, so she hurriedly hid it under the water, opened her ear fins tightly, and stared at him with wide eyes.
The water waves sway and the light and shadows float.
The two rubber ducks rose and fell with the waves, revealing the little mermaid's uneasy mood.
Rong Heng noticed that he was trying hard to curl his tail back and hide it.
With a light snort, he jumped off the windowsill, left the second floor and went to the first floor.
Seeing him leave, the little mermaid breathed a sigh of relief, her ear fins drooped listlessly, and her tail, which had not yet grown scales, swayed gently underwater.
Rong Heng prepared to visit the workshop of the ancient human boy.
He originally thought that the other party was just a smart teenager, but he didn't expect that he could actually repair the PL-3. Although many parts have been simplified, it is still very amazing on such a remote planet.
What's more, he knew that the boy couldn't even speak Interstellar Language at first.
Even the first few books were found by him.
No one knew better than him how fast this boy was growing.
He rarely felt a hint of curiosity.
I strolled to the door of the workshop and was about to go in when I heard some rustling noise coming from the other end.
???
Was there a thief at home?
Rong Heng paused, slowed down his movements, turned around and went to check the source of the sound.
The sound came from the kitchen.
In this place, the kitchen is useless most of the time and is just a decoration. But he knew that Ruan Shiqing had just purchased a batch of nutritional supplements and stored them in the kitchen's refrigerator.
He held his breath and lay in ambush at the kitchen door.
The thief in the kitchen took no notice of his presence.
At the door of the cold storage room, a few red fox tails swung, and then a thin body came out with a few tubes of nutritional supplements in its arms.
She was a little girl of about five or six years old who looked like a human. The fox ears on her head and the fox tail behind her were not retracted. Her cold silver eyes hid a familiar arrogance and alertness.
The author has something to say: Rongzai: There is no point in hiding, I saw it all |ω·)
Fish: !!! (Fish is angry
——————
The fish fry is unhappy and needs some nutrition solution or something to comfort it. Do you know what I mean?
