Chapter 309, New Life in the Empire (Part 2)

After watching the two children get on the school bus and the school bus slowly went away, Lu Yuan was relieved and continued to mow the lawn. He was not used to it when he first came to the Empire, especially when he was happy, he was still worried, but he got used to it slowly. Everyone was like this, and the children took the school bus to and from school by themselves.

It took more than half an hour, and the lawn in front of the house was barely visible to people. He had never done this before. Although the villa gardens on Earth were beautiful, they were done by professionals. Now the lawn he built himself, although ugly, is much better in Lu Yuan's eyes than before.

Back home, Bai Tingting is still carefully sorting the garbage, what can be recycled, what cannot be recycled, and glass that can easily hurt people...

Because when the Empire was just founded here, many resources were brought from Earth, so they were relatively scarce. In addition, the Imperial Government also deliberately guided, and at the same time, Fuyun Group had developed such a habit on Earth before, so all garbage on the Empire side is strictly sorted.

On the one hand, it is also to save resources. A lot of garbage can be recycled and reused. On the other hand, it is also to change the bad habits in China.

In the minds of Chinese people, garbage has always been smelly. It is good to find a bag to throw it into the trash can. It is also classified. Such a habit only exists in Europe, America, and some other countries. In many cases, garbage is even thrown directly. Rivers, streets, etc. are all garbage dumps.

It not only pollutes the environment and makes everyone uncomfortable, but also wastes resources greatly, and it is easy to develop bad habits of not cherishing resources and littering.

When it comes to the empire, the empire naturally wants to establish a new atmosphere. It is very relaxed in many aspects, but it is quite strict in this regard. Garbage is strictly classified.

Every family must strictly classify their garbage, put it in bags of different colors, and put their own family labels on the garbage bags for identification. If that family does not classify garbage, the whole community will be notified.

The punishment of being reported seems to be very light, with no scolding or beating, but everyone wants to save face. If your family is really reported, you will not be able to raise your head to see people in the future, especially since the Empire has implemented the honorary noble system.

Maybe the nobles do not have any privileges, but the society respects those who are named nobles very much, because these people are people who have made outstanding contributions to the Empire. However, if your family or family cannot be rated as a noble in the future because of a trivial matter such as garbage classification, it is really a loss of the big picture.

So when this regulation came out, even the troublemakers who were difficult to manage before became serious, because this was not just their own business, but a major event related to their family and future generations. Spitting and littering are not seen in the Empire.

"The Empire is good, but the garbage classification is too troublesome and too detailed."

The wife Bai Tingting complained slightly. There is still a lot of garbage in the family, and it is also a more annoying thing to carry out detailed classification. After all, who doesn't want to face a pile of garbage and have to classify it carefully?

"This is also for everyone's good. If the garbage is sorted, the environment will be good, and everyone will live comfortably."

Lu Yuan smiled and comforted, and went to help. In fact, it is good to slowly develop the habit of garbage sorting. It will feel troublesome at the beginning, but after getting used to it, you will feel that it is actually quite good.

"I'm going to work."

Soon, after finishing the housework, Lu Yuan was ready to go to work.

After coming to the Empire, Lu Yuan easily got a good job as a space transporter with his previous qualifications.

Lu Yuan used to be a very outstanding astronaut. He led a team to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids. He also established his own company and rose against the wind. He became a trend-setter of the times and a myth of getting rich overnight in the space age.

So he is very familiar with the field of space, and not only can he drive a spacecraft, but he can also be the captain of a large spacecraft and be responsible for management. He is a rare talent.

When he came to the company, Lu Yuan drove a small private spacecraft into space. His company is called Sky Express, which is responsible for transporting materials in space.

Although the empire has a small population, its space industry is very powerful. In the outer sky of Yanhuang Star, there are huge space buildings, sky factories, space farms, etc. everywhere.

Every day, there is a huge demand for transportation between space and space, between space and ground, between Yanhuang Star and Jiuzhou Star, etc., and correspondingly, a large and small transportation company has been born.

The Space Express Company where Lu Yuan works is a relatively small transportation company, with only more than 100 Dumbo-class transportation spacecraft, and the business undertaken is also the transportation business near the near space of Yanhuang Star.

Although Star Express is a small transport company in the Empire, it is definitely a behemoth in the Empire. You should know that Lu Yuan's own company only had more than ten Dumbo-class spaceships before, but such companies were large space companies in China at that time.

But it is really a small transport company in the Empire, because any space company in the Empire has hundreds of spaceships, and even thousands or tens of thousands of spaceships.

One of the important reasons is that the price of spaceships is very cheap within the Empire, and because the Empire vigorously develops the space industry, the output of spaceships is very terrible. Large spaceship manufacturing companies headed by Fuyun Group and Empire Heavy Industry are quite awesome.

In addition to other large and small spaceship production technology companies, the Empire's spaceship production capacity is definitely better than the Earth Federation. Although the Empire Federation has a large population and a long history, it can't stand the technology that is inferior to the Empire.

"Old Lu, I have something to discuss with you."

As soon as Lu Yuan arrived at the headquarters of Sky Express in space, the boss of Sky Express, Tian Kong, found Lu Yuan.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, boss, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Lu Yuan knew that Tian Kong must have something to ask him.

"Old Lu, calling me boss is too formal. We are all brothers. Brothers think highly of me and work hard with me. If you call me boss again in the future, I will be really angry."

Tian Kong said angrily. To be honest, Tian Kong is the major shareholder of this company, but he is very good to the company's employees. Everyone has shares in it to some extent.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

Lu Yuan smiled helplessly and said.

"It's like this. I heard that you are the boss of a large space company on Earth, and you are also the boss of an interstellar mining company that specializes in mining asteroids. You have rich experience in interstellar mining."

"You also know that although our company is very busy now, transportation does not make money quickly enough, so we also plan to participate in the asteroid mining business, but the company can't find a suitable candidate for a while, so we want to discuss with you and you will be responsible for this business."

"Of course, we also know that mining asteroids is more tiring, it takes a long time in space, and there are certain risks, so after discussion, we are willing to give up some shares to you, and we will work together to make Sky Express bigger and stronger."

Tian Kong smiled and told the cause of the matter. In fact, he had wanted to start the asteroid mining business for a long time, but he had never found a suitable candidate.

People with experience in asteroid mining in the empire are very popular. Basically, they are their own bosses, or they cooperate with others and are shareholders of large companies. It is difficult to find a suitable person who can stand on his own. Lu Yuan is the best candidate.

"Of course, there is no problem in mining asteroids, but forget about the shares."

Lu Yuan thought about it carefully and said very seriously.

"No, no, there must be shares. We are all brothers and work together. What's more, you are the person in charge of this new business of the company. How can you not have shares?"

Tian Kong refused to do it when he heard it.

"This is really not possible. I just came here and have not made any great contributions to the company. I don't have any savings myself, so I dare not be greedy."

Lu Yuan also shook his head repeatedly.

"It must be there. Don't worry. The shares will not be too much, just a few percentage points. We have discussed it. If this business grows in the future, we will all benefit from it."

Tian Kong continued to persuade.

"This, okay."

Lu Yuan hesitated again and again, but still nodded and agreed. In fact, he was also very tempted. He didn't expect that he could go back to his old business soon after coming to the Empire.

Interstellar mining is a technical job and requires luck, because the value of the mined asteroids may vary greatly. For the same asteroid with a mass of 100 million tons, one contains 80% iron, and the other only 40%. The value is naturally very different. If an asteroid containing a large amount of rare metals can be mined, the value will double.

Interstellar mining often takes a month to go out, and astronauts need to rest, etc., so there are actually only a few trips a year. It is very important to find an experienced person to lead the team.

Sky Express quickly launched the interstellar mining business because of Lu Yuan's joining. Lu Yuan is very experienced and soon became very successful in the interstellar mining business and became a famous interstellar miner in the empire.
