342. Tatooine's boy (Part 1)

Outer Rim of the galaxy, Tatooine, Mos Espa Port.

After the previous war between Hutt Gaddula and Hutt Jabba, Mos Espa Port, which was almost destroyed into ruins, was rebuilt a lot in this year.

Many houses and buildings have also been rebuilt. Although most of them are built on the original ruins, they can at least protect them from wind and rain.

Many moisture farms that are necessary for residents to survive have also resumed operation, and some early-maturing crops are also growing vigorously.

However, Tusken Raiders, who is extremely hostile to the residents of Tatooine, is also eyeing this place, and they even built a camp nearby.

And because Mos Espa Port was destroyed, many wealthy residents went to Mos Eisley City in Jabba, which also caused the two largest cities on Tatooine to become polarized.

Mos Eisley City did not suffer much damage, so it became a paradise for Tatooine rich people; Mos Espa Port became a slum.

But no matter what, life still has to go on.

A little boy was walking among the ruins of Mos Espa Port that had not yet been cleared. He used his somewhat immature hands to turn over the bricks on the ground and rummaged through the charred soil.

Although he is only about ten years old, maturity and perseverance can already be seen on this little boy's immature face.

Suddenly, several wires were dug out. The boy turned around and judged that it was an integrated circuit. He grabbed the wire and pulled it out. However, he didn't expect that there was a big piece attached to the bottom of the thing. He quickly shouted, "Hey, Johnson! Come here and help me!!"

A scary-looking robot walked over from the side. Its body structure looked like a human skeleton. It was hideous and terrifying. The silver-gray metal body was so strong that it didn't leave a single scratch even if it rubbed against the exposed steel bars.

He also welded many additional armor plates on the surface of his body. Although he beat these armor plates to be more rounded for aesthetic reasons, the terrifying aura still kept strangers away.

But what is a bit strange is that the lower body of this robot seems to be spliced together, and it is actually installed with four legs removed from the B-1 combat robot. Although its scary feeling has been weakened a lot, it is still full of mechanical punk style.

Robots are not uncommon in this world, but such ferocious and terrifying robots are really rare.

This ferocious robot named Johnson came over, looked at the cables on the ground, and said in a very low voice that was almost the same as a human voice, "It looks like you found a big guy, Anakin."

As he said this, he pulled with one hand, and the huge force dragged up the piece of soil. It was indeed a small half of the spacecraft's console underneath, and there were no traces of fire on it. It seemed that the downed spacecraft fell and planted here.

"There are still some shells that can be used, and the internal circuit boards can be repaired. There is also a terminal, which should be repairable." Johnson said.

Anakin looked at the wreckage and was extremely surprised. He took off a part and rubbed it on his body, "Look! This chip is still complete! Great! Now C-3PO can run! Also, if we repair these things, we should be able to go to Chiruchi to change to the anti-gravity wheelchair! Oh, by the way, there is more..." Anakin showed an innocent and satisfied smile on his face, and said excitedly.

Johnson looked at the malicious eyes of other scavengers around him, grabbed the wreckage with one hand, and gently patted little Anakin on the shoulder with the other hand and said, "Let's go back, Anakin. It's not good to leave mother alone in Homeworld for too long."

"Well! Mom would also be very happy if she knew what we gained today!" Anakin said with a smile.

"Hey! Anakin! What did you find today? Bring it over and show it to me!" A scavenger with a fierce expression but only one hand came over.

Johnson stepped forward to block Anakin and said, "You should step back and keep your distance."

"Bah! I'm not fucking afraid of you!" The scavenger spat, still approaching step by step.

"I'm sorry Otto, I need this very much, and so does my mother. And if you come here again, Johnson will beat you." Anakin-Skywalker looked into the scavenger's eyes and said seriously.

The scavenger suddenly froze, feeling dazed for a while, and the desire in his heart to snatch this piece of debris was inexplicably weakened. He snorted coldly, "You're lucky! Get out!"

"Thank you." Anakin lowered his head and walked towards Homeworld with Johnson.

Arriving in front of a half-collapsed house that had been rebuilt with many baffles and stones, Johnson walked over and grabbed a heavy stone slab at the door, moved it aside and put it away. This stone slab weighs at least two tons. Blocking the doorway prevents others from entering.

"Mom, mom! Today I found a piece of the spaceship's console!" Anakin rushed home, ran to the bed and threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman sitting on the bed.

The middle-aged woman lovingly stroked Anakin's smooth brown hair, "You are so amazing, Anakin. You can find the best things every time."

"Because my senses are very sensitive! I knew there was something there just now when I saw it!" Anakin said with a smile, "We can replace this console with a lot of good things!"

"Okay, then I'll make something to eat. You take a rest first." The woman said, grabbing the two crutches placed by the bed and standing up with difficulty. Only then can we see that her legs have disappeared to knee-high!

"Mom, just rest, I'll do it!" Anakin quickly supported her mother.

"It doesn't matter, I've had a rest all day." The woman smiled, came to the kitchen, mixed some unknown tubers and some powder, and started to prepare a simple dinner. "You should go and deal with today's harvest, and ah, otherwise let Johnson go out alone tomorrow. Can you stay at home with me?"

"Okay mom." Anakin nodded very sensibly and jumped up to his own room. The room was filled with various mechanical parts and a simple workbench.

There is also a humanoid robot placed in the corner on the other side, but this robot has no shell and all its parts are exposed.

"Johnson, come and help me." Anakin called.

The robot has already walked in. He helped Anakin remove the useful parts, and then repaired the ones that could be repaired and processed the ones that could be processed.

Anakin removed an energy line, thought for a while and said, "Johnson, I think we should give this thing to Otto. I know he is like this today because his brother broke his leg yesterday. We shouldn't need these parts now, but he should really need these things to exchange for some medicine."

"I agree with your judgment, Anakin. After you finish eating, I will send it to you." Johnson said.

"Okay, just in time, I'll process this chip and circuit board and install them on C-3PO!" Anakin was immediately buried in the pile of machinery.
