The mecha warhorse was a cool black. Emerald handed the reins to Gu Xixi. "Mine is white because during the interstellar war, I was a guiding light for all warriors, a flag for the direction of advance. Yours is black, which is even cooler for you to show off or escape. But the functions are the same."

Gu Xixi smiled and gave a thumbs-up, "You really understand me, I like it very much."

With Emerald's help, Gu Xixi immediately mounted the horse, drawing envious glances from the surrounding crowd. Once Gu Xixi was settled, Emerald also climbed on and sat behind her.

"I'll teach you how to ride a horse!" Emerald said behind Gu Xixi with a mischievous smile. Suddenly, she patted the horse, and it neighed and galloped a few steps before taking off, seemingly ready to continue its spirited gallop.

This startled Gu Xixi, who immediately reached out and grabbed the reins, bending down slightly to lower her center of gravity.

But the horse only ran a few steps before it started moving at a leisurely pace like an old man, and even began to sing, "What's Daddy's dad called? Daddy's dad is called grandpa! What's Daddy's mom called..."

Gu Xixi turned her head and looked at Emerald speechlessly.

Why does she always like to make fun of herself?

Emerald laughed smugly, "Not bad, right? I specially designed this 'Peaceful World Baby-Soothing' version for you. My warhorse has all the functions you have, but my horse doesn't have this baby-soothing function."

"Moreover, it is very intelligent, just like riding a real horse. When you touch different parts of its body, it can receive different commands. The warhorse mode can only be used in space, so you can try it yourself when you have the chance."

"With all the technology you and I have exchanged, I think the day we go to space will come very soon." Gu Xixi nodded. The space city was promised to be completed within five years, and it definitely will be five years.

Even if it takes ten years, she can wait that long.

Emerald handed the reins to Gu Xixi, who then rode the horse through the air for several laps before returning to the courtyard.

As she dismounted, Chen Yu was already walking over with a "eunuch's gait," raising his hands in a cunning manner.

Gu Xixi chuckled, handed the reins to him, and breathed, "You can only look and touch, but you can't ride."

She wouldn't let him ride it, which drove him crazy.

Sure enough, Chen Yu wilted the next second, and everyone else laughed. Gu Xixi finished her meal with Emerald and gave her a congratulatory gift before Emerald left.

The silver-white and gray-black mists intertwined, and the replacement was complete. Zhang Chunhua emerged from the mist, dignified and elegant, already possessing the demeanor of a high-ranking matriarch.

If you calculate the time, in the world of farming novels, she's almost 30 years old.

In ancient times, people could only live to around 40 years old, and many died in their 30s. Although Zhang Chunhua lives a comfortable life now, she suffered too much in the past few years, and she probably can only live to be 40 or 50.

She's middle-aged, isn't she?

“Xixi, it’s been years since we last met, but you’re still the same as before. Every time I came here before, I would pester everyone to tell me about the changes in the country. I’m really happy for you all.”

Zhang Chunhua sat down at the stone table and ordered dishes with practiced ease.

"When the space city is built and ordinary people can travel to space, you must tell me. When I go back, I'll lie to those old feudalists and say that my friends are gods who live in the sky, and I have pictures to prove it."

After saying that, Zhang Chunhua became somewhat dejected again.

"But I probably won't live to see that day... There's one more thing: will the tsunami in the Sun Kingdom actually happen, when will it happen, and will they actually destroy the country? Even if I die, you have to burn this for me so I know!"

She had almost forgotten the past, but she remembered this incident from childhood to adulthood.

“Okay, everyone is very concerned about this issue. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely come and tell you in person.” Gu Xixi nodded, politely declining the request to have dinner with him.

Fortunately, Zhang Chunhua didn't care about Gu Xixi's rejection. While eating, she kept muttering, "I'm only 28 years old this year. If I were in modern times, I would at most be considered a late-marriage woman. Over there, my adopted sons, the eldest is 18 and the youngest is 17, and they've all started looking for marriage partners."

"Can you believe it? In two years at most, I'll be a grandmother."

“Back in modern times, I’ve seen so many conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law living together. So, I just give them money so they can all live in Beijing. I stay in my original county town, which is also convenient for doing business.”

Zhang Chunhua finished chatting casually before getting down to business.

"After these seven or eight years of upheaval, people's lives are much better now. So this time, I'd like to exchange resources for beauty treatments, such as face masks, face creams, makeup... basically, you can help me choose a whole set... I'll start with 3000 sets..."

……

After their conversation, Zhang Chunhua quickly began transporting the medicinal herbs. Perhaps she was increasingly aware that time was passing too quickly, because she couldn't help but hug Gu Xixi before turning back.

Gu Xixi stood at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting for the next trading partner to arrive.

The Mermaid King was proud and elegant. He came out of the mist, and only after he had seen Gu Xixi halfway through did he quickly float over.

"You've finally returned. My people were very sad when you didn't attend the last grand event, and they cried tears of joy."

The Mermaid King, holding his scepter, said with obvious displeasure, "So we've decided to hold a ball just for you. When are you free? Anyway, until you're available to attend our ball, our deal is temporarily suspended."

Gu Xixi immediately went up to him and soothe his fur. "Your Majesty the Mermaid Emperor, please don't frown, it will cause wrinkles. I had an accident last time and was ambushed, so I missed it. When I come back next time, I can attend your ball in three months at the latest, how about it?"

As Gu Xixi spoke, she reached out and picked off a small, wet, thumb-sized pebble from the Mermaid Emperor's cloak. It had hard, snowball-colored things on it, like ice crystals.

Gu Xixi didn't throw it away; she turned around and handed it to Chen Yu, who took it to the office area outside the supermarket to show it to others.

The Mermaid King gave a haughty "hmm" and swam back. "There were only 60 trades between our two worlds to begin with, and now there are only a dozen or so left. So until you come back next time, I'll come once a month to wait for your news."

Gu Xixi hummed in agreement and saw him off. Chen Yu and Professor Wei rushed in.

Professor Wei held up the small stone and said, "Xixi, hey, the Mermaid King is gone! Xixi, this stuff is combustible ice!"

Methane hydrate is a non-renewable energy source buried deep on the seabed, but it is also a clean energy source in the true sense of the word.

It produces no waste gas or residue after combustion, only water and carbon dioxide, so it has no pollution impact on the environment and is also known as the energy of the future.

It is a solid substance formed by mixing natural gas and water under high pressure and low temperature, and it is mainly found in permafrost and on the continental slope of the seabed.
