Galaxy Technology Empire

July 2015.

Lingnan Province is experiencing a sultry summer at this time.

It's quiet at night.

In the urban area of ​​Shanmei City, Lingnan, in an ordinary house on the outskirts, the air conditioner outside the house was whirring.

The owner of the room was sleeping. He was a pale young man. He was sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked with sweat. Suddenly he frowned and started to stir.

"Huhu..." Huang Haojie's face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing.

It seemed like a nightmare.

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

Looking at himself in the mirror with a haggard expression and bloodshot eyes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Take a breath! Turning off the faucet, he prepared 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 a 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 passed all the tests that should be done in the city. Maybe I've been too stressed recently! I'll be fine after taking a rest. Mom, you should rest first!" Huang Haojie said with a forced smile. replied.

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

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

He turned on the desk lamp and sat silently at the desk. He saw the design drawings of an airship spread on the desk. He flipped through them gently. Below there was also a large stack of design drawings, all of which were details of various parts and components of the airship. design diagram.

Looking at the design drawings in front of me, it is so real. It is as if the airship in the design drawings really existed.

And the experiences in the dream were just like real life. Fighting on the battlefield, building an empire, and developing science and technology for farming were as if they were experienced in person.

This strange dream started to appear on his birthday on January 15th this year, probably two or three times a month, and as many as eighty-nine times a month.

Each time is a different scene, including battlefield fighting, scolding Fang Qiu, scientific research, daily life, etc.

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

The reason why it is said to be very real is because the first time Huang Junjie dreamed about this strange dream, he was on the battlefield. The scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere and corpses everywhere made him vomit violently and made him sick for several times afterwards. sky.

But today, he finally got a useful piece of information in his dream. If this information was true, then he could be sure that this dream really existed and was actually experienced by himself in parallel time and space.

Huang Junjie lay on the bed and fell asleep quietly, because it was very easy for him to fall asleep after the strange dream.

A night of silence.

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

Early in the morning, the sound of cicadas floated gently into the village.

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

After saying that, he went out with a backpack.

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

"Forget it! Xiaojie may be too stressed these days, let him go for a walk in Lotus Mountain!" Huang Fuguo said while eating breakfast.

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

"Well! Let's find an opportunity to ask him in a few days!" The father quickly ate the salted duck eggs with the white porridge.

the other side.

Huang Haojie took advantage of his day off on Saturday and came to the bus station and took the bus to Haicheng County.

Lianhua Mountain is located in the northwest of Haicheng County, Shantou, and is one of the branches of the Lingnan Mountains. This Lianhua Mountain is not the same place as the Lianhua Mountain in Panyu, but they are both one of the branches of the Lingnan Mountains. The main peak is shaped like a lotus. Named 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 here when he was fighting against the Yuan Dynasty.

However, Huang Haojie came here not to see any Buddhist temples or Taoist temples, nor to experience the footsteps of historical celebrities.

In his dream last night, he knew that in parallel time and space, he had visited the Shanmei area in Lingnan, seemingly to repay his hometown.

Ordered mineral exploration in the Lingnan area, so the mineral resources in Lingnan were subject to 'own' large-scale detailed exploration.

Three small gold mines have been explored in the Lianhua Mountain area of ​​Shantou. Of course, the reason why Huang Haojie was so impressed was that one of them was found in a canyon cave, and a huge gold nugget was found inside. The nugget gold weighed more than 30 kilograms, and this piece of nugget gold was finally given to Huang Haojie.

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

And he knew that there was no news of any gold mine in Lianhua Mountain so far. It was thought that this gold mine had not been discovered yet.

So he decided to check his luck. If there was a gold mine, he could get a windfall and confirm the real existence of parallel time and space.

If there is no gold mine, just think of it as a relaxing outing.

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

I also bought a flashlight, a rope, a small shovel, a hatchet, dry food, mineral water, etc. that I carried in my backpack.

So he took a tricycle and headed towards Lotus Mountain.

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

"Yes! I heard that when Mr. Peng was engaged in revolution, he once hid a batch of treasures in Lianhua Mountain. Don't you want to try your luck?" Huang Junjie borrowed the donkey down the slope and said with a smile.

"Haha! Little brother! This is someone from the tourism bureau bragging. Don't be fooled. Your accent is from the city!" the tricycle uncle said talkatively.

"Uncle has a good ear. He lives in the city. I know about the treasure. I'm not specifically looking for the treasure today. This is just an entertainment activity to 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! Just like that boy in my family, his eyesight is damaged by looking at the computer all day long!" The uncle on the tricycle drove steadily while talking to Huang Haojie.

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

The place Huang Junjie wants to go is on the edge of Lianhua Mountain, about fifteen kilometers away from Haicheng County. It is not the Lianhua Mountain Scenic Area, but a real wilderness.

He and the tricycle uncle chatted all the way, and before he knew it, more than half an hour had passed, and the destination was in sight.

"We're here! Brother Huang!" The tricycle uncle slowly parked the car at the entrance of a small village.

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

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

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

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

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

As we go deeper, the village becomes more and more desolate, with only crumbling stone houses with walls covered with moss and morning glory.

From time to time, you can see banyan trees and plum blossoms entrenched in dilapidated houses.

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

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

Leaving the small village and heading west, not far away is the foothills of Lotus Mountain.

Huang Junjie saw many lychee trees along the way, which were full of fruits. The branches were covered with red lychees, and the longan trees also bore green fruits.

But looking at the large swath of lychees falling on the ground, he was quite helpless.

He grows lychees and longans at home, but in recent years he has not been able to make much money from growing lychees and longans, and has even lost money.

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

Even for good varieties of lychees such as Feizixiao, Guiwei, and Nuomizi, the purchase price is no more than two yuan per catty, let alone ordinary varieties such as black leaf, white wax, and Fenghua, the purchase price is less than one yuan per catty. .

Imagine asking someone to pick lychees for a day, and they would pick more than 1,000 kilograms of lychees. The labor cost would be 200 yuan, plus pesticides, fertilizers and previous labor costs, there is not much money left to make.

Therefore, it has become increasingly obvious that fruit farmers in Shantou and Meizhou have abandoned their crops. What he saw today was just a microcosm of it.

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

This is Lianhua Mountain in the edge area, and there are no signs of artificial development.

Some are just mountain roads made by one or two people. These roads were made by travel friends or people who picked green herbs.

Huang Junjie looked at the map and the surrounding terrain. From time to time he took out the satellite positioning map of his mobile phone to compare his position.

As he went deeper, the scorching July sun had reached noon, and he was sweating profusely. From time to time, he took out glucose and light salt water to replenish electrolytes.

After entering the mountainous area, he had to be careful. After all, there were venomous snakes such as cobras in Lotus Mountain, and the surrounding areas were overgrown with weeds and dense trees. From time to time, he swung his hatchet to clear away some obstructing branches and vines.

Perhaps this is because there is no road in the world, only when people overcome obstacles can they find a way.

He thought happily while overcoming thorns and thorns.
