Starport No. 038. A shop that was originally vacant here opened, and inside it was a maintenance station that specialized in repairing all kinds of mechas and even spaceships. The business on the first day was very bleak. After all, no one wanted to hand over their treasures to an unknown novice. For explorers, whether it was a mecha or a spaceship, it was more important than their own lives. The young boss lay on the counter with a dull look, his eyes rolling around watching people coming and going. He even saw creatures from the Colored Stone Civilization. These guys arrived here from the original star field in the past 200 years. At this time, they were still very rare. The Kates, the Hundred Eyes, and even humans who saw them were very curious about them. Most of these creatures from the Colored Stone Civilization were merchants. They sold various treasures from the Colored Stone Civilization. Although they were nothing in terms of technology, they were curious and rare, attracting many people to buy. At this time, a guy from the Kate tribe knocked on the door of the store. "Can you repair spaceships here?" There was some doubt and disbelief in its little eyes. Yan Xia remembered that this kind of expression of emotion was not seen when he first met the Kate tribe many years ago.
It's just that as they integrate into human culture, both the Baiyan tribe and the Kate tribe are becoming more and more like humans. Every body movement is exactly the same as that of humans. Just like wolves and dogs, dogs are domesticated from wolves. Dogs cater to human body language more than wolves, such as wagging their tails. For example, some dogs will grin like humans, and droop their faces when they are sad. These body languages and expressions are not known to wild wolves. "That's right." Yan Xia nodded. "The repair cost of the armor is 6 energy coins, and the starting price of the spaceship depends on the specific degree of damage. It is 50 federal coins." This price is still fair, a little lower than the market price. After hearing this price, the Kate tribe in front of him hesitated, and then asked: "Can it be cheaper?" It seems to be a poor guy. "How much can you give?" "I only have 38 energy coins..." Yan Xia thought about it and finally felt that it was boring to sit here and watch people coming and going, so he might as well find a job. "Let's go, you are the first customer of my store, I will give you a discount." He was taken by the Kate tribe to the place where the spaceship was parked in the interstellar port. Yan Xia saw the spaceship, which was like a huge sunfish, with patches all over the surface, and it seemed to have been in service for a long time. "It looks like an old guy." He went up and checked it carefully and found that it was a problem with the thruster. He took a look at the production date, 7789 AD, and this year is 8005 AD, which means that this spaceship has been flying for 216 years. If it is a family heirloom, it has been passed down for at least 3 generations of the Kate tribe. "Can it be repaired?" The other party asked cautiously. "Of course I can, but your original price is not enough. Even if I want a discount, it's impossible to break it."
"This needs a major overhaul, at least 120 energy coins." The Kate's face changed, and he became decadent in an instant. "I don't have so much money." "This spaceship is still my father's. It died of a disease in the starry sky. Its friends dragged the spaceship back to me." "My father is the only source of income for our family. My mother has a very low salary, but I have four younger brothers and sisters, so I want to take this spaceship to become an explorer like my father." It has a big dream. But it was strangled at the first step. Yan Xia originally thought that there were many jobs in the Civilization Federation, enough to support all the creatures in the Civilization Federation, but he didn't expect that poverty would still appear. "What's going on?" Yan Xia asked Ella secretly. Ella quickly gave him a reply. In the years of the construction of the Civilization Federation, the number of major races has changed. For example, the main Kate and Baiyan tribes that came with the warships at the beginning have grown to billion and billion in the past 700 years, and the human population has also increased many times, with a surge to million people. In addition, the terrifying reproduction rate of the Lelela tribe has increased from the original billion to billion, close to the peak period. Ella has even retired some robots, freeing up a large number of jobs, but it is still not enough. Later, with the development of the capital galaxy, the total number of biological groups will only increase. Ella predicts that in 400 years, the total number of races in the four civilizations will reach 100 billion. Perhaps there will be other civilizations, such as the Colored Stone Civilization, which will move to the capital galaxy to settle down, and there will be more at that time. The population size will of course bring population benefits. With Yan Xia's previous theory of imagination resources, the Civilization Federation will develop faster and faster. But the byproduct is the gap between the rich and the poor, which cannot be eliminated. For example, a person was originally the owner of a small company. After running the business, his products were quickly iterated and lost their competitiveness. His company went bankrupt and his wealth became a negative asset. The Civilization Federation cannot fill these negative assets. If this person is unable to pay off this debt, he will become poor, and even his descendants will become poor. Only if a civilization gives up progress, distributes resources to every individual, and creates an ideal balance, the gap between the rich and the poor will not be born. This is an inevitable result. Yan Xia was powerless, after all, he or the Civilization Federation were not philanthropists. Moreover, it was the gap between the rich and the poor that gave civilization its vitality. "How about this, I can invest in you. In addition to the energy coins you gave me, I will consider the rest of the money as what you owe me. When you can go to the universe and earn it back, how about you give it to me?" Yan Xia took a lot of risks, because the other party might not come back. After all, the universe is very dangerous and any situation could happen. On a planet, a shipwreck could leave a person stranded on a deserted island without support, let alone the vast universe. "Then... thank you." "I, Du Lu, swear that I will definitely return the money to you, the boss."
He was a young man. "Okay then!" Yan Xia repaired the thruster for him. He still had some skills, and with the tight equipment given by Ella, repairs were no problem. About four days later, the repairs were completed. Yan Xia watched Du Lu take a spaceship to leave the interstellar port and fly into the deep universe. Every day, countless people set sail with their dreams in this interstellar port. "What a great place." "This atmosphere reminds me of One Piece anime. Maybe we can spread a legend about One Piece." Ella sent a message at this time. "We can also create a legend of a legendary repairman." "Yan Xia, I just happen to have a technology to pass on. Maybe it can pass through your hands." Yan Xia was curious about what it was. Ella was well prepared and had already delivered the item to his store. He went back and opened it. It turned out to be a close-fitting armor. When Yan Xia picked it up, he felt something was wrong. This armor was like liquid! This is - liquid memory metal?
