Federal Marshal Ling Xingci never thought that the end of his exile would be Rust Belt No. 7, A broken mineral star where the earth cannot even grow rust. There are only radiation sandstorms, metal-gnawing scavengers, and three nameplates engraved with the names of his comrades in his backpack.
Until the botanist Su Hanguang holding the seed box fell from the sky.
"This is fluorescent grass, which can absorb radiation." The young man, whose spectacles were stained with dust, squatted next to the remains of the mecha and carefully covered the three shimmering seeds with soil, as if he was burying stars for the planet.
Ling Xingci sneered: "It's minus thirty degrees tonight, and your grass won't survive until dawn."
But he turned around and used the mecha core to build a constant temperature greenhouse for the petri dish.
When the red dust storm rolled in with high radiation, Su Hanguang's back on the seed box was thinner than his radiation protection suit; when the federal fleet was encircling with guns and cannons, the moment Ling Xingci blasted the mecha towards the enemy ship, he was tightly entangled by the roots of the fluorescent grass——
"Your mecha must live, and my grass will climb on it and grow throughout the Rust Belt."
One is carrying a gun to protect the ruins, the other is planting grass to fight radiation, and the two people abandoned by the federation want to plant light that can pierce the rust in this land that has been sentenced to death.
Later, the entire galaxy knew that there were miracles hidden in the sandstorms of Rust Belt 7: the exiled former marshal's mecha held the glowing grass, the botanist's laboratory was built in the crater caused by the shell, and under the root system of the fluorescent grass forest, buried was their letter of war to the Federation——
"On the wasteland, weeds are growing wildly. It is not your turn to define life and death."
(Hard-core interstellar infrastructure × redemption through broken mirrors, when steel and vegetation coexist in the ruins, even the stars have to make way for them.)

Purpose: On the radioactive mineral planet, steel mechas and fluorescent weeds fight symbiotically to break the federal definition of "wasteland" and rebuild the hope of life in the ruins of civilization.
