The First Interstellar Energy Gambler

With the advancement of science and technology and the expansion of the scope of influence, the number of people is also soaring. Environmental pollution and energy shortage have added fuel to the fire, leading to the extinction of a large number of species. The earth's environment is finally no longer suitable for human survival. Turning to the vast universe, since then, mankind has officially entered the interstellar age.

But it is too difficult to find a planet suitable for human existence in the vast expanse of space. And in the vast universe, there are many other kinds of alien races, some of which hold great malice towards human beings.

In order to adapt to the harsh cosmic environment and fight against the aggression of alien races, scientists have invented starships, mechas, and various super offensive weapons after hundreds of years of research and repeated practice.

In addition, scientists have also launched a genetic modification program to improve the strength of human beings. In the beginning, they incorporated beast genes into human genes, enabling humans to be animalized. This is the first generation of transforming humans. But it was later discovered that the genes of beasts are too unstable, and the next generation is prone to deformities.

After the failure of the original genetic modification program, scientists began to find ways to strengthen human genes. After thousands of failures, they finally succeeded in developing methods to strengthen human genes, allowing humans to finally gain a foothold in the interstellar world. With the heels, an empire belonging to mankind was established.

********

The interstellar calendar year 1552.

Kurta star.

This is a barren planet, with yellow land everywhere, windy sand is very big, and the temperature is abnormally cold, but here is actually a valuable resource star. Under this inconspicuous planet, there is value buried. A jadeite with tens of billions of credits.

In the dark mine, dozens of strong miners are sweating and digging in the dark mine. If you look closely, you can find that there is actually a thin young man among them.

The young man’s name is Lin Luo, a descendant of the first generation of Transformed Humans. There are beast genes in his body, which allows him to beastly. At this moment, he has turned his hands into beast claws. Not inferior to the miners beside him.

The boy’s luck was very good. He soon dug a fist-sized jade stone. He carefully put the jade stone into a cart next to him. There were already a dozen pieces of jade stone piled in it, and each piece was fine. In exchange for one hundred credits.

Jadeite is a very special cosmic ore. Under the hard weathered stone layer, there is a special crystal with huge energy. A small piece can maintain the energy of a mecha for nearly three days, so it is of little value. Philippines. Nowadays, mechas, spaceships, weapons, and equipment are all inseparable from energy. For human beings, energy has gradually become the scarcest resource. Even those with special genetic awakening abilities cannot do without energy. The energy liquid extracted from this energy crystal.

Jadeite was originally called an energy stone, but later people discovered that the characteristics of this energy stone are basically very similar to the jade of the ancient earth period, and people also use jadeite to refer to this energy stone. The unprocessed ores that have just been mined are called "Jadeite" or "Material", and the energy crystals wrapped in a layer of hard rock are called Jadeite.

The outer layer of jadeite is covered with a special weathered stone layer, which can isolate radiation, protect and lock the internal energy crystals, but it also makes all human detection methods invalid. Therefore, these jadeite mines cannot be mined by machinery, and manual excavation must be used to ensure the integrity of the ore to the greatest extent.

Jadeite is the same as the rough jadeite of the ancient earth period. Not every piece of jadeite contains jade. It takes not only knowledge and experience, but also luck to judge the internal texture, color and cracks of the jadeite. The better the quality of jadeite, the more energy and value it contains.

Before cutting any piece of jade stone, no one can know whether there is jade in it, and what kind of jade it is. This kind of behavior full of risks and opportunities is deeply loved by people. Therefore, in today's interstellar In the empire, stone gambling was even more prevalent than in the ancient earth era.

"Hey, Xiao Luo, it's time for dinner, let's go?" A strong-looking miner put down the shovel in his hand, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said to Lin Luo.

"Okay, Brother Sun."

Lin Luo stopped and turned the furry claws back into human palms, ready to push his cart.

"I'll come here!" Sun Hong connected his cart to his own with the chain on his cart, then pushed the cart with one hand and Lin Luo's shoulder with the other, and walked out together.

Lin Luo returned him with a grateful smile, and walked out of the deep mine together with him.

The lights in the mine are brightly lit, much brighter than the mine, so Sun Hong doesn't need to be so careful when walking, but he still supports Lin Luo, after all, his eyes will be very inconvenient at night.

The two went to the management center first, handed over the jadeite on the cart, replaced it with a credit point, and after receiving the nutrient solution, they returned to the dormitory area. After Lin Luo and Sun Hong said goodbye, they each entered their own room.

Of course, the miner’s dormitory can be simple and simple. It has an area of ​​ten square meters. There is nothing except wardrobe, bed, table and chair. Fortunately, there is a small bathroom that allows them to solve personal problems in the room.

After a busy day in the mine, Lin Luo's protective clothing was full of dust, and his small face was dirty, so he needed a comfortable hot bath.

Lin Luo took off his dirty shoes and protective clothing, threw it on the ground, and went directly to the bathroom. The bathroom is only about one or two squares in size, and it’s empty and there is nothing inside, but when Lin Luo closed the door and pressed the button representing the shower, many small holes suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls and started spraying towards the middle. Hot water at the right temperature. After getting his body wet, he started spraying the human-specific cleaning fluid again, and then increased the water flow, flushed with hot water to rinse off the cleaning fluid. Finally, when the gravity-free mode was turned on, all the water was taken away instantly, and when Lin Luo walked out of the bathroom, his body had been washed clean.

The dirty protective clothing that had been thrown on the floor before has been cleaned by the cleaning robot. It is neatly stacked on the bed, the shoes are placed next to the bed, and the floor has also been cleaned. Lin Luo nodded in satisfaction, put on clean protective clothing, lay on the bed, and drank the nutrient solution he had received before.

Today's nutrient solution is the chicken flavor that Lin Luo likes. He rubbed his stomach contentedly, and the light brain on his wrist rang, indicating that someone had sent a communication request. Lin Luo immediately connected to the communication after seeing the name displayed above.

"Xiao Luo." Li Jun's kind and kind face appeared in the picture.

"Grandpa Li." Lin Luo smiled, showing a cute dimple on his left cheek.

"Someone from the Xing family came to choose the stone tonight. Would you like to come and beat me?"

"I want it!" Lin Luo's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Okay, see you at the same place at eight o'clock." Li Jun finished the call with a chuckle.

Li Jun is a calcite master. He has been working in the mining area for decades. Whenever someone is sent to choose the stone, he will solve it, because he has the most experience in calcite and he has a quick and neat technique. There was a mistake. He loves Lin Luo, who is hardworking and very spiritual. He once wanted to train Lin Luo to inherit his craft, but Lin Luo has a genetic defect...

As we all know, the probability of genetic defects in the descendants of the first-generation modified people is as high as 90%, but the expression and severity of the genetic defects are different.

Lin Luo did not become one of the lucky 10%. Shortly after he was born, he was diagnosed with a very rare visual genetic defect. He could not distinguish colors like normal people. The colorful world is in his eyes. There are only three colors of black, white and gray, only light and dark, but no color difference.

Obviously, his parents could not accept such a blow and gave up his custody rights and sent him to a welfare agency. Although it is a welfare institution, it is not inferior to public schools, and the education received is similar.

After Lin Luo was 18 years old, he was allowed to leave the orphanage to live independently. It was only because of his genetic defect that it was difficult for him to find a suitable job. He finally found this job as a miner with food and housing. And it lasts for three years.

His purpose at the beginning was just to live, but in the mining area, there were basically no entertainment activities. He could only watch the scene of the calcite when someone came to choose the stone. What he didn't expect, however, was that he had gradually developed a keen interest in the gambling stone full of risks and opportunities.

It's a pity that his genetic defect made him easy to see in dim light at night, let alone betting on rocks. I always hear people say how beautiful jadeite is. It always depends on people dancing and dancing in excitement when onlookers. He also wants to see the splendor of jade with his own eyes. So he began to save money in exchange for gene enhancement liquid to see if he could have a chance to heal his eyes.

As the name suggests, the gene fortification liquid is a kind of medicine that can help humans strengthen the body. The price of the primary gene fortification liquid is 500,000 credits, the intermediate one needs 1 million credits, and the advanced one needs 5 million credits.

The primary gene fortification liquid can only play a role in strengthening the body at most. The intermediate gene fortification liquid can help the body greatly improve the physical fitness and repair the wounds, and the advanced gene fortification liquid can not only make people feel sick, but can even stimulate those in the body. People with special genes make them awaken with abilities, so the value of these medicines is so high.

Lin Luo sighed and checked the credit points in his account with Guangbrain. If he wanted to buy intermediate gene enhancement liquid, he still had more than 600,000 credit points. I really don’t know how long it would take to save it. what.
