Chapter 12： Lane's Peach

"what are you doing?"

Ryan, who was sitting cross-legged next to the planting cabin, turned his head to look at the door, and saw that the person who should be busy actually appeared here, and his eyes were full of surprises, "I found a wild strawberry in U167, and I dug up a few plants to bring back. I got the spacecraft, and the inspection room just notified me that the inspection passed, and it was sent over by a robot."

The team members of the ground operation find something they are interested in on the planet they are exploring, and if they really want it, they can pick the samples and send them to the laboratory. The sample can then be owned by the individual.

Ryan moved a stool and asked Allston to sit next to him. He had to plant the wild plants in the planting cabin as soon as possible. The plants have been out of the soil for nearly 20 hours since they were picked. The phenomenon of curling, it is like a puppy that was taken away from its mother.

"The fruit was picked and tested. I deliberately picked a plant with a lot of fruit to dig it up, but I didn't expect that none of it was left. It doesn't look like a strawberry, but more like a raspberry. The fruit is small and smells a little sour. Melted in your mouth, creamy and silky, with a sweet aftertaste. I believe that after generations of breeding and domestication, it is possible to develop a very good strawberry variety.”

According to the regulations, animals and plants on unfamiliar planets cannot be eaten during ground operations, so as to avoid poisoning and so on.

How did Ryan know the taste of wild strawberries, it was a complete accident.

"Probably the first plant I improved was strawberries. I'm very interested in strawberries, and I need to study them when I see them." Lane said while doing his hand movements without pausing at all, "When I lifted it up for research, a strawberry fell off. Into his mouth..." It disappeared very quickly, and it was too late for him to vomit.

To this end, the team activated the emergency mechanism, stayed in place for half an hour, and made further action after confirming that he was in good health.

Auston looked at the busy young man with his head down in front of him, the pain in his body and the troubles in his heart moved away from him in an instant. Hearing his ramble and purposeless gossip, a feeling of laziness emerged from the bottom of his heart. . He pushed the stool away, sat cross-legged beside him following Ryan's movements, and tried to put his head on Ryan's shoulders.

"On the ground, you still have to be careful."

Ryan's digging stopped, the range of body movements became smaller, and the movements of his hands became more and more detailed. He smiled and said, "Well, I will definitely be more careful in the future. You, don't worry."

Not getting a response made Ryan a little disappointed, but not getting a response made him slightly happy. Not denying is the greatest affirmation.

"I don't have a professional inspection machine at hand, so I can't determine the plant activity of wild strawberries. I can only try to cultivate them, hoping to cultivate strawberries that are suitable for import. The entrance of wild strawberries is still too sour, and the characteristics of ripening polarization are not very good. And the fruit is very small, you know, that fruit is like a soybean, and if I hadn't been dealing with strawberries, I would have missed it."

There are too few intersections in the lives of two people, and it is definitely not a good way to find topics from them. After finally being together again, Ryan didn't want to be in a quiet silence, so he just talked in a jumbled manner, without any purpose or revolving around anything.

"I raised a pony, which was bred from a cross between planet M and the pony of the mother planet. It was smaller than a golden retriever and had the same temperament as a puppy. I named him Chestnut because he I like to eat chestnuts the most, I like to eat them raw, and I also like to eat all kinds of small desserts made with chestnuts." Ryan talked about the situation at home and the trivial things in life, "Aunt Peggy can make chestnut muffins. Chestnut's favorite, when it's happy to eat it, it will squint its eyes and make a yo-yo-yo sound, and its tail will wiggle around."

Auston chuckled, already imagining in his mind a little brown pony eating a chestnut-flavored pancake. After eating, he raised his head happily and let out a yo-yo-yo, revealing a mouth of white fangs, long, The tassel-like tail swung back and forth, and a pair of black eyes stared at the master, as if saying: one more, one more.

"My parents planted a lot of plants according to the different seasons of the planting star, water and soil conditions, including tall banana trees. After cutting down, they cut the hard shell, and the edible inner core was a small carrot-sized piece. It tastes best when it is fried with the little black pork that he raised at home. The little black pig grows slowly, it is not suitable for large-scale farming, and cannot be promoted to the market, so it is raised and eaten at home." After speaking, Lane said embarrassedly, "I It's tedious to say these things."

"No, it's interesting, I like it very much." Auston adjusted his posture and indulged himself in Ryan's tenderness, "My life is very boring and boring, and can be summed up in a few words monotonously, learning, Train and pass the test.”

Ryan felt a little distressed. Behind the success was hard work and sweat. The color of Auston's childhood was not colorful at all.

"It's not those, let me tell you, although the planting stars in our house are not big and the geological conditions are not the best, the scenery is good. There is an inland sea in the northern hemisphere. In autumn, the leaves of the trees growing in the shallow sea will fade green and become beautiful. Reddish brown, big white birds will stay in the woods, and at sunset, the rays of the sun shine on the sea, like a dream." Ryan desperately thought about his own scenery, hoping to take Auston home to see those beautiful Scenery, "Ice crystal flowers grow on the ice field in Antarctica. This flower is edible, and it is cold and cool. It is best to make salad with lettuce leaves and lobster meat. The taste is a very light lemongrass.

It grows in pieces on the ice surface, and when the sun shines, it will reflect colorful rays of light. If the angle is good, a rainbow will appear. "

Ryan paused and continued: "There is an ocean vortex in the sea near the equator. When you drive a small submarine into it, you can find fluorescent shrimps for 100 meters. They are transparent, and the light is the shrimp brain. After washing Marinated in wine for a while to make the choking shrimp very tender and smooth..."

"Auston, when we are no longer responsible and the empire does not need us to defend our homeland and the country, are you willing to settle with me on Planting Star?" Ryan asked nervously after talking a lot.

Auston nodded lightly, thinking that his movements were too small for Ryan to see, he whispered, "Well, Planting Star is beautiful, quiet and peaceful, I like it very much."

The smile on Ryan's face became bright, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning behind his ears, "You will definitely like it, I'm afraid you will feel that the planting star is too dull, the sun rises and the sun goes down, the time of day. It flies very fast, and we are getting old in a blink of an eye. In the future our children..."

When it comes to children, Ryan's eyes are restrained and shy, "In the future, our children will drive a spaceship to plant stars to see us, and we will have grandchildren. Haha, I'm thinking too far, don't we have any children? Why do you think about your grandson first?"

Auston is a quiet person. When two people get along, it is often Ryan who talks non-stop, like talking to himself, but he will get some responses when his voice falls. When it came to the future child, Ryan waited for a while, but didn't wait for Auston's answer. He became quiet, and the sound of Auston's long and gentle breathing was in his ears, and he fell asleep like this.

Ryan bent the corners of his mouth, wiped his hands with the towel in front of him, took the book and started to read, keeping his upper body still, if he hadn't been afraid of affecting Auston's rest, he would have carried someone to the bed.

He looked at the closed planting cabin. The leaves and stems of the newly settled wild strawberries were standing upright, obviously very suitable for the planting environment inside.

Using a personal terminal to adjust the brightness of the lights in the dormitory, Ryan threw himself into his studies, and there were less than ten days before the exam.

Can you become a mecha repairer?

There are only three exam qualifications for a mecha repairer in one's life. They need to obtain strict recommendations from the school they graduate from, and eliminate all confusion in the early stage. The procedures are very strict.

Once, however, the second exam will be delayed until three years later.

Ryan doesn't want to miss the opportunity, let alone wasting time. Going a step further and getting closer to Auston is his goal.

In a twinkling of an eye, it was the day of the mecha repairer exam. The exam was divided into morning and afternoon. The theoretical exam in the morning started on time at eight o'clock in the morning of the central star time of the empire, which is 5 o'clock in the morning of Ryan today, far away from the edge of the empire. If the time is wrong, you will be wronged.

Fortunately, the ship attaches great importance to this test, and a special person is responsible for checking the time to ensure that it is accurate.

Fully prepared, Ryan walked out of the dormitory, and with a ding, his personal terminal received a message from Auston.

"I can't send you to the exam, sorry. Good luck!"

Ryan's eyes stayed on each word for a while, and said warmly, "With your blessing, I think I will definitely succeed."

Walking to the elevator door, the team member Amy hurried over, still wearing pajamas, her hair was piled up on her head, panting and said, "Fortunately, fortunately I didn't miss it. Come on Ryan, you worked hard. It will take that long to succeed.”

In the end, he rushed over and hugged Ryan, "Come on, come on, you are the best in my mind."

Amy is slightly shorter than Ryan and has a slender frame, but the force of the charge is still not small. Ryan was knocked back two steps, and subconsciously grabbed the opponent's waist to stabilize his figure.

"Thank you Amy, let me go, the elevator is here."

Amy nodded as if pecking at rice, kissed Ryan on the face suddenly, and let go of Ryan with a blushing face, "This, this is a ceremony of blessing, don't get me wrong."

At the back, the elevator door opened, and Auston's figure slowly appeared.

Amy was facing the elevator door. She saw the figure of the general first, pushed Ryan, and stood at attention and saluted, "Good morning, general."

Ryan's eyes darkened, and the calm figure said clearly: "Amy, thank you for your blessing, we are good brothers, there is no need for this, such an intimate ceremony should be given to lovers. I am very sorry, I have never said, I already married."

The blush on Amy's face gradually faded, turning pale under the bleak light of the Xingtian Ship in the morning.

The author has something to say: the staff in the laboratory looked at the wild strawberries under their hands and realized that they had eaten the strawberries...
