Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

[The captain is not too bad]

It is said that the Tianlong 3 star was a plant star long ago, and every inch of the surface of the planet was covered by forest.

However, an asteroid explosion 300 million years ago caused the gravitational imbalance of the Draco constellation. The Draco 3 star gradually deviated from its original orbit and approached the three light source planets until it reached a new equilibrium point.

However, due to the heat transfer of the three light source planets, the ecological environment on the Tianlong-3 star has undergone tremendous changes. Nearly half of the forest is buried deep underground, and the surface is gradually covered by yellow sand.

Three hundred years ago, the first garrison commander of the Draco constellation discovered this planet and the crystal ore buried deep underground.

The crystal stone is formed by the arrangement of C atoms, and its density is greater than that of the diamond on the ancient earth. It is an important material for making mechas.

At this moment, Mu Qiu was standing on this vein.

At the junction of the forest and the desert, hundreds of mining openings were excavated scatteredly. There are about a dozen miners around each mining opening, the rumbling of excavators, and the in and out of industrial robots responsible for carrying them.

The mining port that Mike was in charge of was not far away. He parked the aircraft randomly and walked over with Mu Qiu.

The nearby miners noticed them and gathered around, discussing in groups.

"Is that Captain Mu?"

"Not necessarily, it looks so young, wouldn't it be an assistant or something?"

"Which one? Don't stand in the way, let me see, I have seen Captain Mu in Old Yase's cafeteria, and I can definitely recognize it—ah, it really is!"

"Really? I didn't expect that fellow Mike could really invite people over!"

"Mike doesn't have a small face now, after all, he is the father of Mr. Wizard."

"Shhh-you can't say this in front of outsiders."

"I know, Captain Chu has given the password!"

"Speaking of which...how do I think this Captain Mu is more like a guide?"

"It's true that you said that. How can a mechanic be so good-looking?"

"That's it!"

"..."

The machine rumbling nearby, the miners are used to speaking loudly on weekdays, and don't even remember to lower their voices for a while.

Mu Qiu listened to her ears without missing a word.

He didn't feel offended, he just felt a little uncomfortable to be commented on his appearance in public like this.

"Cough!" Mike coughed loudly twice, staring at people around.

However, the miners didn't put his threat in their eyes, but groaned their eyes.

Mike was a little embarrassed, so he had to apologize to Mu Qiu, "Everyone is not used to being formal, Qiu, I hope you don't mind."

Mu Qiu curled up his mouth and said jokingly: "It's the first time I've heard of the division of guides and mechanics by looks."

"We are all vulgar people, we are used to talking nonsense." Mike also laughed, "Speaking of which, there are some mechanics who came before... That way, I have never seen anyone like you before, let alone everyone. , Even I was surprised when I first saw you."

"So?" Mu Qiu grasped the key word and looked at Mike in confusion.

Mike sighed and explained, "Uh, how can I put it, it's just... uncut? Yes, that's the word. The mechanics we hired earlier have a louder voice than our miners, and their tempers are not so good. They only get credit. You can still smile when you click."

Mu Qiu didn't know where they had hired the mechanics, it was simply damaging the reputation of the mechanics. At least his former classmates and teachers are very easy to get along with, well, I have to admit that he is not raunchy.

Mu Qiu looked at the large machine that was working not far away. Three mechanical arms over ten meters long were waving at the same time, and a small rocky mountain was piled up in the mechanical warehouse in less than a while.

Mu Qiu recognized this type of mining machine, and they used it for class discussions when they were learning basic lessons.

He looked up at the heart of the machine, and sure enough, the robot logo of the Rhine family was very obvious.

But what's the matter with the pipe that suddenly emits heavy smoke behind the mechanical warehouse?

Mike saw his question and explained in due course: "Autumn, I think you must know that the Tianhe III mining machine originally used energy panels, but that thing is too expensive, and we use it day by day. We earn this point. The credits are not enough for consumption."

Mu Qiu was even more puzzled, "Should the energy board be provided by the garrison? Why did you buy it yourself?"

"Oh, by the way, you didn’t know not long after you came here. Our Draco constellation is different from other places." Mike explained, "Take this crystal stone mining as an example. The other teams’ jurisdictions are given to miners based on the mining volume. We calculate wages, other expenses are counted in the military supplies, and all the ore obtained is handed over to the Federation, and the miners are absolutely not allowed to hide them privately."

Mu Qiu nodded, "This is the regulation of the Federal Headquarters, and the garrison is only acting on orders. Could it be said that this is not the case with the Dragon Constellation?"

Mike shook his head, "Originally, it has changed since Captain Chu came. I heard that this was the idea of ​​Deputy Captain Lu. The ownership of the machine is still owned by the Federation. It should be consumed but no longer deducted from the munitions. Miners are needed. If we produce it ourselves, correspondingly, we can get a certain percentage of crystal stones to sell ourselves."

Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows, "Then do you make more or less in this way?"

"Of course I made a lot of money!" Mike answered without hesitation. "The reason why Captain Chu changed the rules is to allow the miners to earn more credits. You must know that those credits were just starving. If there are more at home, I'm afraid it won't work to raise a child."

Mu Qiu was secretly surprised—Chu Qingtian was really bold enough.

Mike said sincerely: "Captain Chu is really a good guy, and Deputy Captain Lu is also super smart. Everyone is grateful to them."

Mu Qiu smiled, and thought to himself: That guy doesn't look like a "good guy", and I don't know if there is another purpose in doing this.

Of course he would not say this, but instead asked: "So, what do you need me to do?"

When talking about this, Mike's eyes glowed. He pointed to the pipe with thick smoke from the tail of the mining machine, and said: "In order to save the energy board, we have asked someone to convert the energy supply equipment into crude oil fuel, which is a lot cheaper. , But it is too harmful to the body and not good to the environment. Look at that—"

Mike pointed to the tall chimneys on the periphery of the mining area, "In order to purify the surrounding air, Captain Chu specially installed this kind of purifier. At that time, it took a full five months to install. I heard that it will only be maintenance fees every year. It will cost a lot of money. Of course, this item is from the military supplies and not counted on us miners."

Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows. In other words, Chu Qingtian was paying for these miners with his own money?

He looked up at the "chimneys" that went straight into the sky, roughly in the shape of a thick bottom and a thin top, reaching a height of almost fifty meters, standing on the ground in an orderly manner, wrapping the mining area firmly.

In fact, he discovered it as soon as he arrived. At that moment, Mu Qiu almost thought that he had re-traveled back to the hometown of his previous life, the ancient earth.

When Mike said that he knew the difference between the two. Chimneys on ancient earth were used to emit smoke and dust; the "chimneys" here were used to absorb smoke and dust. Although the shape is the same, the effect is just the opposite.

Unexpectedly, the person Chu Qingtian couldn't watch but did so much.

If the "conspiracy theory" is excluded, Chu Qingtian's doing so is indeed a great act of kindness. However, thinking of that person's scornful look, Mu Qiu couldn't equate him with "kindness".

"Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

Mu Qiu didn't immediately agree. Although he subconsciously thought that Mike had no reason to lie to himself, it was better to ask Arrow to check it out to be on the safe side. He couldn't be pulled into the ditch because of his temporary kindness.

Although Mike was a little disappointed, he didn't force it. He respectfully sent Mu Qiu back to the military area as he came, still driving the old aircraft.

On the contrary, the miners around, seeing that Mu Qiu just watched for a while and was about to go back, they were obviously disappointed.

These disappointed emotions superimposed and entered Mu Qiu's spiritual realm, making his heart boring.

After all, Mu Qiu was soft-hearted. Before he got off the aircraft, he couldn't help but say to Mike: "If it doesn't violate discipline, I think I will do it."

When Mike heard this, the bicolor pupils who were exactly the same as Little Gore immediately brought obvious joy, "Thank you, thank you, Autumn!"

Mike was incoherent with excitement, "Of course, not only because of this, but also, I want to thank you for taking care of Gore. My wife and I are very grateful to you, really."

Mu Qiu smiled, didn't say too many polite words, turned around and got off the aircraft.

He could still feel Mike's mood swings until he walked far away-of course, ordinary people also have mental waves, but they are very weak and can only be perceived when they are excited.

It can be seen that his insignificant promise has had a great impact in the heart of this young man.

—

As Mu Qiu walked, he thought about how to contact Arrow after returning. He had a special identity, and he always missed the end of the dragon.

Maybe it was something in his heart, Mu Qiu didn't notice anything in front of him, and then he ran into a plush...wall?

Mu Qiu glanced intently, uh, a bit familiar, and then took a closer look, as if he had grown taller—well, would the spiritual body also grow taller?

The big gray wolf stopped in front of Mu Qiu, his silver-gray eyes looked at him curiously, his expression seemed a little puzzled.

Mu Qiu looked back and forth with a guilty conscience. At this time, it was working hours. There was no one in the residential area. I heard that the sentinels had gone to the 2nd star for training. So, even if he did something, he probably wouldn't be killed. Found... right?

Before I thought about the pros and cons, my body had already reacted first-I saw Mu Qiu put his body on the gray wolf in an imageless manner, and unceremoniously put his hands into the thick fur and touched it. go with.

Surprisingly, it seemed that the majestic gray wolf just stiffened for a moment when Mu Qiu got up, and then he seemed to have figured it out and relaxed quickly. Not only did he fail to drive this "rude boy", but even Turning to look at him, his slightly narrowed eyes are full of petting.

In the tube building not far away, Aubrey lay all over the transparent wall, witnessing all this happening.

As a result, the mind that was not very good at this time almost stopped turning, and there was only one thought left over him—the boss's wolf was assaulted...the boss's wolf was assaulted...

I go! Can anyone meet the boss's wolf? Haven't been killed yet? !

Aubrey's body trembled, and he quickly tore himself off the wall, spread his legs and ran towards the silent room.

At the same time, Chu Qingtian in the sleeping cabin suddenly sat up.
