Him and their stars

Although water rice tastes like corn, tastes like corn, is nutritious and grows like corn, they are light blue in color and do not look like serious agricultural crops at all, but some kind of fantasy species that has been quenched with poison. The kind that can be used to make potions for evil wizards without processing.

However, this is not the point.

Luo Ming wiped his eyes and determined that the robots picking rice on the terraces were Red Sand Discipliner-4 robots produced by Tulong Standard Factory. This is a scorpion-shaped robot that can lurk in rolling yellow sand and deserts. The two mechanical arms and the tail on the back can actually be equipped with different weapons.

Of course, it makes sense that they are now equipped with scythes for unpacking grain sticks.

Then, Luo Ming saw the Rumina people sitting on the edge of the field. This tall alien race from the Far Coast Star Zone used two arms to operate the terminal with skillful movements, and the other two hands were holding dumbbells that visually weighed at least fifty kilograms while doing bicep curls.

At this time, he also heard the footsteps of a group of people, and turned around: "Is it you? Director Luo..."

He seemed to have thought of something again, and put down the dumbbells a little hastily: "I am not being lazy, I do both exercise and work. And, this is the exercise method taught to me by the 'Captain'."

No, I just feel that every time I see you gifted aliens, I am particularly fragile as a human being. Luo Ming greeted the other party.

The Rumina have four hands, two for gross movements and two for fine movements. This group of people looks like a giant beetle. In fact, everyone is a little dragon girl, but they have never thought of using this "multitasking" method to train themselves before.

Although the commissioner of the Ministry of Agriculture is blind to most alien races, he also knows this Lumina person.

His name is Xia Shake, one of the leaders of Rumina's aid team. He was the captain of the Maple City Factory Protection Team and Hunting Team, and is now the leader of the New Jade Gate Guard Headquarters and the Sharp Knife Assault Regiment.

Although he is a Rumina, he is a second-level psyker and can be a noble lord even in the empire. But now, I am picking up grain in the terraced fields.

He is now still a Marine Colonel of the Blue Star Community and a senior official of the New Yumen Garrison Command. The more than two thousand people under his direct command are all the strongest warriors selected from the sand people and Lumina immigrants. There are only more than 3,000 copies of the Hundred-Eyed Giant Mecha in the hands of the New Yumen Garrison Command, and they are all concentrated in his hands.

However, he is still picking up grain in the terraced fields.

Luo Ming wanted to tell him that the reason why the Xinyumen government planted these rice on the terraces was to improve the soil and form a symbiosis with the spice fields on the flat ground. In fact, they did not expect a harvest. This was the reason why the young men in the town gathered spices but not grain before reporting to the militia guard.

But Colonel Shashak smiled. He said that of course he understood these problems: "What a waste. Since the grain is ripe, it must be picked up. When we were in Lumina, even the poles in the thatched fields were Everyone has to stay to make soup.”

Luo Ming said: "We can't cut down the rice poles to make soup. They will continue to grow every year. If they grow, they will become a forest."

"Breathing the cool under the corn stalks? What a beautiful scene, the 'Captain' described it to us." Xia Shaike showed a fascinated expression.

“Not only can you enjoy the shade, but you might even be able to raise fish inside.”

"That's so beautiful. Even more beautiful than Lumina."

The roots of these water corns then continue to penetrate deep into the earth to extract the water.

In fact, Xinyumen really does not lack water, but it is deeply hidden under the desert and sand sea. It's as if the entire sea is covered with a rock formation. It's a wonderful planetary structure.

Luo Ming and Xia Xiake said that they hoped that after the imperial army landed, they would not shovel these grain poles stupidly.

...They shouldn't be so boring, right?

"Are you the only one busy here?"

"There are not many young adults left in the town. I have a set of robots in my hand, so I can help. As for my subordinates? Of course they go to other places to help. Those who herd lizards, those who drive the herds, and those who fight the gravel dragons. "The sweet potato harvesters always have their work to do." Colonel Xia Xia Ke was still very proud:

"When I was in Rumina, I could help tighten screws in the factory, and now of course I can pick grains when I go to Xinyumen. 'Captain' said that this is actually the source of our strength."

Luo Ming couldn't help but asked curiously: "Do you really think so?"

"At least after arriving at the New Jade Gate, my spiritual power has awakened again." The Lumina people laughed.

Of course Luo Ming didn't understand things about mysticism, but that didn't stop him from being in awe.

"Don't worry, as long as these rice are harvested before today, it will not delay the subsequent military mission." He added.

"So, your follow-up military mission?"

"This? This is a task assigned by Advisor Summers." Xia Shake looked Luo Ming up and down: "Director Luo is from the Earth. I heard that you also graduated from the Lunar Military Academy, right?"

"The Central National Defense University is actually a normal university, and only half of its graduates every year will join the military."

The Rumina colonel nodded. There was no obvious expression on his oval, hairless and carapace-covered head, but his round eyes were very bright: "Director Luo, you'd better make a decision quickly. You are a civil servant, In fact, we could have retreated with the previous group of people.”

"I have only been in office for three months." Luo Ming looked helpless.

"If you don't want to leave, we are actually always short of manpower, especially professionally trained commanders. But then we won't be able to treat you as a civilian." The other party said from the commander's standpoint, and even squeezed his dark round glasses maliciously.

"...I was the deputy gunner of a cruiser, and then I died."

"...I was joking. We Lumina people have a special sense of humor."

"Including the 'source of power' you mentioned before?"

"That's not a joke!" He said seriously, and then focused on the operation of the robot.

After the inspection of the Valley Farm, Luo Ming, a (deputy) special commissioner at the department level, finally completed the Ministry of Agriculture. He sat in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, ignoring the bumps and the yellow wind with the smell of soil along the way, and turned a deaf ear to the roars of the strange beasts that occasionally passed by, and focused all his attention on the desk work.

Because the records and documents had been well summarized before, it was easy to sort them out.

After Luo Ming finished writing the information and report and sent them, he suddenly realized that it would take at least ten days for him to get a response from the Earth.

Of course, it is more likely that there will be no response at all. It is conceivable that the Earth must be in chaos now, and the bigwigs may not have time to consider agricultural issues.

"So, why did I come to Xinyumen to take office?" Luo Ming put away the terminal, let out a long breath, and took out a cigar and lit it. Along with the smoke, Luo Ming seemed to see a vague outline at the edge of his vision, as if a little ink rhyme was seeping out from the upper edge of the horizon.

Before he could see clearly, a long string of freight trains whizzed past him on the optical track not far away.

Yes, the optical track from Tulong Port to Tianfang Plateau, which completely penetrated the Nanqi Grassland and the Great Sand Sea, was opened to traffic as early as last year.

Thus, nearly 200 million sand people along the optical track obtained the citizenship of the Blue Star Community... Their identities may not have been entered into the database of the Earth Central Government, but they must have been entered into the New Yumen Governor's Office.

"Ion cannon. Defender ion cannon." The assistant on the co-pilot pointed to the train carriage.

Although the carriage was covered with a leather cloak, the outline of the cargo could still be seen.

"They must have been dismantled from the city of Tulong. I used to deal with them every day. When I was transferred to be your assistant, I was also a logistics officer for the artillery maintenance regiment. Even among the civil servants of Tulong, no one is more familiar with these cannons than me." The assistant said.

Looking around, there were so many carriages on the train that it was impossible to see the end for a while.

Were all the city defense cannons in Tulong dismantled? Where were they going to be transported?

When the train passed completely, Luo Ming finally saw the outline that he had just seen much more clearly.

He soon realized that it was a huge statue of the Enlightened One, more than 300 meters high, and the landmark of the entrance of the famous Xinyumen Enlightened One Museum.

If the war had not broken out, this museum would have become the mainstay of tourism on this planet.

"Ask Consultant Summers where he is." Luo Ming said to the driver.

As the head of the Xinyumen branch of the Engineers' Guild, the chief engineer of the Tulong Industrial Group, the armament consultant of the Xinyumen City Defense Command, and the non-staff staff of the New World Theater Command, Mr. Summers's series of positions are all civilian in nature, and his whereabouts are certainly not a big secret.

Two hours later, Luo Ming found the mysterious young consultant at the entrance of the museum, who was respected and loved by everyone in Xinyumen.

This young man, who looked weak in appearance, was directing everyone to install a certain Enlightened One robot in the underground palace of the museum on the track and slide it out.

This robot is not only more than eight meters tall, but also has a humanoid appearance. It is engraved with gorgeous carvings and presents the luster of porcelain glaze. It is extremely flashy in all aspects. It looks more like a large-scale handicraft with low taste.

Because of its low taste, it is not even a sculpture, at most it can only be called a figurine.

However, no matter how figurative it is, it is still an antique from the Enlightened Age and a very important exhibit.

"As the Enlightened Archaeology Consultant of the Governor's Office, it is reasonable for me to help the Governor's Office move important exhibits in advance." Summers explained to Luo Ming.
