Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 1 Strange Dream
XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Lingnan Province is currently experiencing a sweltering summer.

Silent night.

In an ordinary house in the outskirts of Shanmei City, Lingnan, the air conditioner outside the house was whistling.

The owner of the room was sleeping. It was a pale young man. At this moment, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was soaked in sweat. Suddenly, his brows frowned, and he turned over in a jerk.

"Huhu..." Huang Haojie's face was pale, panting with bloodshot eyes.

It seemed to be a nightmare.

He stretched his exhausted body, went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet, picked up some cool tap water, and scrubbed his face vigorously.

Looking at himself in the mirror with a haggard look and bloodshot eyes, he couldn't help but wryly smiled.

Exhale!After turning off the tap, he was about to go back to his room.

As soon as he turned around and walked out of the bathroom, he saw his mother Wang Fanghua at the door of his room. Before he could speak, his mother asked worriedly:

"Xiaojie! Are you having nightmares again? Why don't you go to the big hospital in the provincial capital tomorrow!"

"It's okay! It's the same when you go to the big hospital in the province. I've already checked what should be checked in the city. It may be that I've been under too much pressure recently! Just rest for a while, mom, you should rest first!" Huang Haojie said with a forced smile replied.

"Then Xiaojie, you should go to bed earlier!" The mother was still a little worried, but in order not to put pressure on Huang Haojie, she went back to the room to rest.

Huang Haojie supported his exhausted body and returned to his room.

He turned on the desk lamp and sat in front of the desk in silence, only to see the blueprint of an airship laid out on the desk. He flipped through it lightly, and there was also a large stack of blueprints below, which were all details of the various parts and components of the airship. design diagram.

Looking at the design drawing in front of me, it's really too real, it's as if the airship in the design drawing really existed.

And those experiences in the dream are just as real, fighting on the battlefield, building an empire, developing technology and farming, as if experiencing it personally.

This strange dream began to appear on his birthday on January [-] this year, and it probably occurred at least two or three times a month, and at most eight or nine times.

Every time it is a different scene, there are fighting on the battlefield, scolding Fang Qiu, scientific research, and daily life, etc.

It was a world completely different from history, the world of steampunk, the world of the Dahua people.

The reason why I say it is very real is because the first time Huang Haojie dreamed of this strange dream was in the battlefield, the scene of blood flying and corpses all over the field directly made him vomit, and then he felt sick for several times sky.

But today, in his dream, he finally obtained a useful piece of information. If the information is true, then he can be sure that the dream is real, and that he has actually experienced it in parallel time and space.

Huang Haojie lay on the bed and fell asleep quietly, because he fell asleep very easily after the strange dream.

Silent all night.

Lingnan in July is sultry and full of vitality, and the days are long and the nights are short.

Early in the morning, when I knew the sound, I floated gently into the village.

Huang Haojie hurriedly got up to tidy up. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he said to his parents: "Dad, Mom! You don't have to cook for me at noon. I'll go to Lianhua Mountain for a walk!"

After speaking, he carried a backpack and went out.

"This child! Why did you leave without eating breakfast!" said the mother, looking at the prepared breakfast.

"Forget it! Xiaojie may be under too much pressure these days, let him go to Lianhua Mountain for a walk!" Huang Fuguo said while eating breakfast.

"Old man! Do you think that Xiaojie's work in the company is not going well, which makes him have nightmares all day long, or should we let him find another job?" Mother thought for a while and said.

"Well! Find a chance to ask him in a few days!" Father quickly ate the salted duck eggs with white porridge.

the other side.

Taking advantage of Saturday's day off, Huang Haojie came to the bus station and took a bus to Haicheng County.

Lianhua Mountain is located in the northwest of Haicheng County, Shanmei, and belongs to one of the branches of the Lingnan Mountains. This Lianhua Mountain and the Lianhua Mountain in Panyu are not the same place, but they are both one of the branches of the Lingnan Mountains. Because the main peak is shaped like a lotus, it is named It is called Lotus Mountain.

This is also one of the famous Buddhist and Taoist holy places in the Lingnan area. There are many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Wen Tianxiang also passed by here when he was fighting against the Yuan Dynasty.

But Huang Haojie didn't come here this time to see some Buddhist temples or Taoist temples, nor did he come to experience the footprints of historical celebrities.

In his dream last night, he knew that in parallel time and space, he had been to the Shanmei area in the south of Lingnan, as if to repay his hometown.

Ordered to explore minerals in the Lingnan area, so the mineral resources in Lingnan have been extensively and detailedly explored by 'own'.

Three small gold mines have been explored in the Lianhuashan area of ​​Shanmei. Of course, the reason why Huang Haojie was so impressed was that one of them was discovered in a cave in a canyon. The dog's head gold weighing more than 30 kilograms, and this piece of dog's head gold was finally given to Huang Haojie.

Because of this, his memory in the dream was so deep.

But he knew that there was no news of any gold mine from Lianhua Mountain so far, so the gold mine probably hasn't been discovered yet.

That's why he decided to take a look at his luck. If there is a gold mine, he can get a windfall and confirm the real existence of parallel time and space.

If there is no gold mine, it should be taken out for a relaxing outing.

He bought a detailed map of Lianhua Mountain in a large bookstore in Haicheng County.

I went to buy a flashlight, a rope, a small shovel, plus the hatchet, dry food, mineral water, etc. that I carried in my backpack.

Then took a tricycle and headed towards Lianhua Mountain.

"The little brother is the one who went to explore Lianhua Mountain... what kind of donkey friend is that?" the uncle who drove the tricycle asked in Chaoshan dialect.

"That's right! I heard that when Mr. Peng was carrying out the revolution, he hid a batch of treasures in Lianhua Mountain. Aren't you going to try your luck!" Huang Haojie said with a smile on the back of his donkey.

"Haha! Little brother! This is someone from the Tourism Bureau bragging, don't be fooled, your accent is from the city!" said the tricycle uncle talkatively.

"Uncle has good ears. He is from the city. I know about the treasure. I didn't come here specifically to find the treasure today. This is just an entertainment activity. Try your luck and treat it as a sport." Huang Haojie continued to say with a smile.

"That's right, it's good to exercise more! It's like my kid, who stares at the computer all day, and his eyesight is broken!" The tricycle uncle drove steadily while talking with Huang Haojie.

Obviously, the tricycle uncle often drives this road, and he seems to be familiar with it. Even though it is a country road, he still drives smoothly.

The place Huang Haojie was going to belonged to the fringe area of ​​Lianhua Mountain, about fifteen kilometers away from Haicheng County, which was not the Lianhua Mountain Scenic Area, but the real wilderness.

He chatted with the tricycle uncle along the way, and before he knew it, more than half an hour passed, and the destination was far away.

"It's here! Brother Huang!" The tricycle uncle slowly parked the car at the gate of a small village.

"Come on!" Huang Haojie quickly took out his wallet and paid.

"Brother Huang, you can call my cell phone when you go back. If I'm nearby, I can come and pick you up!" The tricycle uncle smiled and waved to him.

"Okay!" Huang Haojie said as he walked into the small village.

Looking at the archway in the small village, the three characters of Hailian Township are engraved on it.

But when he walked in, Huang Haojie only saw some old people moving around, and very few young people.

As we went deeper, the village became more and more desolate, with only crumbling stone houses left with walls, and the stone walls were covered with moss and morning glory.

From time to time, you can see banyan trees and stinky plums (five-colored plums) entrenched in the dilapidated houses.

Another left-behind village that has lost its young people.

This is also the reality in the Shantou-Mei area. Most young people go to work in Yangcheng, Pengcheng, and Xiangjiang, and only come back to their hometowns during the holidays.

Leaving the small village to the west, not far away is the foot of Lianhua Mountain.

Along the way, Huang Haojie saw a lot of lychee trees that were full of fruits. The red lychees were hanging all over the branches, and the longan trees were also bearing green fruits.

But looking at a large piece of lychee on the ground, he was quite helpless.

There are lychee and longan in his family, but in the past few years growing lychee and longan can't make much money at all, or even lose money.

The labor cost of nearly 200 yuan a day, plus pesticides and fertilizers, if there is a bumper harvest, it will be even more thankless, and the buyer will keep the price very low.

Even for good varieties of lychee, Feizixiao, Guiwei, Nuomizi, etc., the purchase price will not exceed two yuan per catty, not to mention the general varieties such as black leaves, white wax, and Fenghua, the purchase price is less than one yuan per catty .

Imagine asking one person to pick lychees for a day, and you can pick more than 1000 catties with all the money, and you will lose 200 yuan in labor costs, plus pesticides and fertilizers and the previous labor costs, there is not much money to make at all.

Therefore, the abandonment of fruit farmers in the Shanmei area has become more and more obvious.What he saw today was just a microcosm of it.

After walking through the semi-barren fruit forest, we began to enter the Lotus Mountain.

This is Lianhua Mountain in the fringe area, and there is no sign of artificial development.

Some are just mountain roads stepped by one or two people. These roads are stepped by donkey friends or people picking green herbs.

Huang Haojie looked at the map and the surrounding terrain while taking out the satellite positioning map of his mobile phone from time to time to compare his position.

As it deepened, the scorching sun in July had reached noon, and he was sweating profusely, taking out glucose light salt water to replenish electrolytes from time to time.

After entering the mountain area, he had to be careful. After all, Lianhua Mountain had poisonous snakes like cobras, and the surrounding weeds were overgrown with dense trees. He swung a hatchet from time to time to clean up some obstructing branches and vines.

Perhaps this is that there is no way in the world, and people have a way only by overcoming obstacles.

He thought while having fun while overcoming thorns and thorns.
