Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

[Ladybug from afar]

Chu Qingtian picked up the pumpkin with one hand, kissed Fangfang’s forehead, and said very seriously: "Even if someone snatches it, we will not send the pumpkin. Qiuqiu will be so sad that he can’t eat, as well as his younger brother. We, of course, and me."

Pumpkin blinked and said dully, "Really, really?"

Chu Qingtian nodded, "Really."

Pumpkin let out a "huh", lowered his big head, smiled contentedly, and a little shy.

Chu Qingtian couldn't help but smiled. The people around also let out a sigh of relief—including the pumpkin dads.

Pumpkin's life experience can be said later, now the most important thing is Mu Qiu.

Chu Qingtian made a brief and concise explanation of the situation to the Jin Jia leader, and the other party expressed understanding.

"Thank you for taking care of Du, oh, pumpkin. Excuse me, is there anything I need to do?" The character of the leader of the golden armor is obviously not like his cold appearance, but very gentle and meticulous.

"If you can, please help me prepare a silent room." Chu Qingtian was not polite. In fact, he even wanted to leave with the family immediately, however, this was not realistic.

The leader of Jinjia politely asked about the characteristics of the "silent room", and he couldn't help showing a smile, "Nothing is more suitable than this." He pointed to the room where he is now, "This is the'isolation room', which can isolate all fluctuations. It should be better than the silent room you said."

After the golden armor leader finished speaking, he knocked on the wall, not knowing which button was touched, and a sleeping pod slowly rose in the room.

Chu Qingtian handed the little guys to Simon, and the others consciously left the room, leaving only Chu Qingtian and the guide he always held in his arms.

He took out a quilt from the space button-I don't know why Mr. Captain would carry such a thing with him-it was Mu Qiu's favorite color.

When the sleeping cabin was cleaned up and comfortable, Chu Qingtian put Mu Qiu in the soft and comfortable quilt, and he lay down himself.

With his beloved guide close at hand, Chu Qingtian stretched out his hand with a thin cocoon and drew his eyebrows carefully, for fear that the person in front of him was just an illusion created by him, or just a dream.

For more than 40 hours, Chu Qingtian experienced a desperate battle without closing his eyes. However, he didn't feel sleepy at all at this time. He just wanted to look at his guide like this and hold him like this. Only in this way can he feel that the guide in front of him is real, and that the previous disappearance and danger are really gone. Walked away far away.

The unconscious guide seemed to feel the sentinel's mood swings, subconsciously stretched out his mental tentacles, and placed it softly on the sentry's forehead.

The sentry could not see the guide's tentacles, but could clearly feel it. The spirit wave of the guide is like the most tempting delicacy, making him want to stop.

Mu Qiu's hands and feet entangled actively.

Chu Qingtian raised the corners of his lips and unceremoniously dropped a deep kiss, and the spiritual thread also entered the spiritual realm of the guide.

Just like Simon guessed, when the two people were combined, Chu Qingtian used a lot of mental power to strengthen Mu Qiu’s spiritual barriers. These spiritual powers formed a powerful guarding force, and also allowed the two people to communicate with each other and consciousness. Connected.

When Chu Qingtian was pressed by the Spider King under his claws, Mu Qiu felt his strong mental fluctuations, and instinctively released a spiritual barrier to rescue his sentry—that barrier was the spirit that Chu Qingtian used to protect him. force.

Therefore, due to fate, Chu Qingtian had reservations at the beginning, but at this time he would not seek vitality under the feet of the Spider King.

Simon and Xiao Liu Xiaoqi led the little guys out of the isolation room and did not go far, but followed the leader of Jin Jia and entered the next room.

There are still smooth and seamless walls, empty rooms. Compared with the previous one, there is no difference in appearance except that it is much larger.

The leader of the Golden Armor stomped his feet, and the next moment, the floor was magically twisted, and a large oval conference table and several decent armchairs were "grown" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If Mu Qiu is here, she will definitely be utterly exclaimed-it's memory metal! The entire room, and even the entire building, uses memory metal!

However, at this time, the people in the house are so ignorant of the goods, or don't care, at best they feel magical.

The leader of the Golden Armor also didn't mean to show off at all. Instead, he said with some uncertainty: "The place you use to rest... Is that true? I saw it on a human spacecraft before. You know, we don't need to sleep, so I don't understand."

A place to rest? This is obviously a meeting room!

Xiao Liu laughed out loud, and Simon and Xiao Qi also curled their lips.

The leader of the golden armor saw them laughing and thought they were satisfied, so he was greatly relieved, "Then please rest!" He pointed to the tables and chairs in the room.

Xiao Liu held back his smile and pulled a chair to sit down, Xiao Qi also smiled and sat beside him.

Simon put the little guys on the chairs one by one and sat across from them by himself.

The Tieji people seem to find it very novel, and one by one opened the chairs and sat down like a few people—well, it’s a little bit small, it’s okay, it can be bigger.

Except for the leader of the Jinjiao and his partner, the others have not stopped since the moment they sat down. They have been touching them curiously, and some even climbed under the table, looking curiously like a child.

Even the little mermaid held by the pumpkin burst out bubbles and laughed.

The golden armor leader looked at the pumpkin and patted his partner's hand comfortingly.

The silver armored man quietly wiped his tears.

Simon noticed that the way he raised his arms was a little unnatural, and couldn't help but said, "I am sorry, is your elbow joint a little uncomfortable?"

The silver armor man was taken aback, and then took his gaze back from the pumpkin, and said frankly: "I was injured in a battle with insects and beasts before, and I didn't care about it at the time, so I got this problem."

"Can I try it? I can't guarantee it, but maybe it can be cured." Simon said modestly.

As soon as these words came out, the Tieji people in a room were stunned-this human said, can he heal Tieji people's hidden wounds?

"May I try it?" Simon said again, his attitude was still calm and friendly, and he didn't feel any anger due to the mistrust in the other's eyes.

The Xiao Liu next to him snorted angrily, "You know, guides are very expensive among humans, and how many people want them to be treated are not qualified!"

"No, please don't get me wrong." The leader of the golden armor said quickly, "We are just...too surprised. You may not know that the body of the armored tribe is like a machine. Small problems can be repaired, and big problems have to be replaced. , You know, the new parts are not as good as the original ones."

Simon smiled and expressed his understanding, "Let me try it! Thank you for providing an isolation room for Qiuqiu." He also made a small bedding for the custody of the pumpkin-Simon thought secretly.

The golden armor leader looked at his partner. The silver armored man only hesitated for a second, and then stretched out his arm with confidence.

Simon put the soft tentacles on it and walked slowly to check the specific damage location.

Just as Simon had guessed, a knot was formed where the silver armor was injured, like the bone spurs of an old man, and he was not so flexible in movement. As long as this knot is unblocked, the arm of the silver armor will be intact as before.

After locking the target, Simon used the method Mu Qiu said to separate the tentacles into small particles—he has been practicing hard recently. The particles have become much smaller and more even than the first time. Fusion effect.

The silver armor person felt a warm feeling from the previously injured part, as if the metal inside was melted and reorganized, there was something indescribable...comfortable.

"Okay." Simon's handsome face had a faint smile, his tone was like what a trivial thing he had done, "Try it and see if it's better."

"Huh?" The silver-clad man bent his arm and shook it violently. The next moment, he showed a surprised expression, "Really, really well!"

"Let me see!" The golden armor leader held his arm and broke it back and forth.

The silver armor frowned, "Take it lightly."

"I, I'm so happy." The golden armour leader's dark golden pupils flashed a bright light, looking very excited, "If it weren't for me...you wouldn't be hurt, and Dudu and Dudu wouldn't have been away for so long... "

"Okay~" The silver armor poked him in the face, and in turn comforted him, "It's been so many years, and moreover, isn't Dudu coming back?"

"Dudu didn't come back, I'm not Dudu." Pumpkin retorted quietly.

Unexpectedly, pumpkin has such a cute side, Simon couldn't help but laughed, Xiao Liu also stunned Pumpkin's head, just like treating a favorite junior.

Pumpkin moved behind Simon, not wanting to be seen by those Tieji people.

The two freshly baked fathers showed wounded expressions, especially the silver armor, almost crying again.

The leader of the Golden Armor was about to comfort him, but he heard a report from the guarding robot above his head, "Report to the leader, a strange human was found at Jump Point No. 1, a total of fifteen people."

He froze for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Simon, "Human? Do you have any other companions coming over?"

Simon and Xiao Liu Xiaoqi looked at each other and shook their heads, "I'm not sure, if I can see the image, I might be able to recognize it."

The leader of the Golden Armor did not hesitate to call up the synchronized image of the transition point.

After seeing the two figures looking around cautiously, Simon couldn't help shouting: "Uncle! Uncle Magher!"

—

The reinforcement of the spiritual barrier is much easier than the first time it was combined.

Chu Qingtian only needs to pave it again along the previous path.

Mu Qiu was already familiar with Chu Qingtian's mental fluctuations, even if he was in a coma, he still had no intention of resisting.

Chu Qingtian went very smoothly. At the moment when the last spiritual thread was connected, Mu Qiu's eyelids moved.

Chu Qingtian had been paying attention to his movements, and seeing that he seemed to want to wake up, he couldn't help but cried out, "Qiuqiu?"

Mu Qiu let out an "um" from his nose, and he leaned into Chu Qingtian's arms, but he didn't open his eyes, showing a lazy posture.

Chu Qingtian patted the guide's white cheek lightly, his tone was full of smiles, "If you wake up, you will get up, okay?"

"Not good~" Mu Qiu swayed his head, his mouth arched around Chu Qingtian's neck like a pig. It seemed that he could not find what he wanted, and he was a little anxious.

Chu Qingtian smiled deeper, but didn't do what he wanted, "Qiu Qiu, quickly open your eyes."

"Kiss first..." Mu Qiu murmured.

For some reason, Chu Qingtian just smiled and didn't kiss him.

Mu Qiu was a little angry, suddenly opened his eyes, bit on Chu Qingtian's mouth, and said vaguely as he came to kiss you, "It's an honor for you to kiss you, so you dare to push three things... "

"Mom eats dad!" Suddenly, a childish voice came from my ear.

Mu Qiu's body became stiff, and he looked over in a daze. The whole person was not very well—I don’t know when, when there was a circle of people outside the sleeping compartment, they were looking at them with a big smile—Little Liu, that fellow did not smile. It was very painful!

"Dad eats mom! Mom eats dad too!" Little Snow Lotus shouted glutinously, her eyes sparkling; Little Green Lotus twisted and chuckled over his head.

Pumpkin looked ashamed, pursing Fangfang's small mouth, but a big message appeared on the screen~(@^_^@)~.

The little mermaid swam around in the small fish tank, and with a flap of his tail, a big splash of water splashed onto Mu Qiubai's red handsome face.

Mu Qiu cleared his throat, and a sly look flashed in his eyes—the next moment, he held Chu Qingtian’s face in his hand and gave him a big kiss—isn’t it just a crowd watching, I'm afraid you will not succeed?

It made the onlookers laugh "haha", and the laughter in Chu Qingtian's eyes seemed to overflow.

—

The arrival of the two elders is like a solid backing.

Mr. Maggie put together the situation of Mu Qiu and Chu Qingtian and raised several substantive questions:

First, the pumpkin’s life experience and the reason for its disappearance that year;

Second, the existence of the Tieji people and their civilization;

Third, will the spider king worm that Chu Qingtian encounters threaten human society?

At this time, humans and Tieji people are sitting around the conference table, discussing these issues frankly and openly.

The first is the life experience of the pumpkin.

Speaking of this, the Silver Armor couldn’t help but shed tears, “Back then, Ah Jin and I were frustrated and wanted to run to other planets with the toot chip, but when we passed the transition point, we accidentally ran into a human spacecraft. , They seem to be beating insects and beasts... When I was nervous, I lost Dudu."

"When was'the year'?" Maggie asked keenly.

"According to the history of the interstellar, it was ten years ago, when the No. 1 jump point was just right to prepare for the coconut tree planet-which is what you call the'Swordfish No. 7 star'." While comforting his partner, the Jin Jia leader called up an image. "This is the spacecraft back then. I have been investigating secretly for ten years. If I guess correctly, this spacecraft should belong to a certain school in human society."

Xiaoliu glanced casually and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Boss, isn't this the Sky Dragon?"

Chu Qingtian also noticed it. He nodded and recalled the scene of the year, "We were about to graduate from the Military Academy that year, and our graduation experience was the spider worm of the Swordfish No. 30 star. Counting this, it was exactly ten years ago. ."

At that time, the Tianlong was not called Tianlong, it was just a commercial spacecraft inherited from Grandpa.

Simon's mind quickly turned around, his tone was obviously surprised, "So, it was the captain who brought the pumpkin to the military academy and was picked up by the carrot?"

Chu Qingtian looked at Mu Qiu, smiled and nodded, "Probably so."

"At that time, the pumpkin was still a chip. I thought it was a babysitter robot that others didn't want, so I assembled his current body..." Mu Qiu looked at the golden armor and silver armor and said flatly, "I'm sorry..."

"No, no, don't say that." Yin Jia waved his hand quickly, "If it weren't for you, Dudu didn't know what would happen to him-he was very weak when he was born, and he didn't integrate with the body in time, maybe... "

Jin Jia held his partner's hand and comforted with a low voice: "Dudu is very lucky."

"Well, you are right." Yin Jia nodded his head heavily, and his shiny silver eyes looked at Mu Qiu gratefully.

Mu Qiu smiled and touched Pumpkin Fangfang's head.

"Since it is your child, why did the pumpkin... go missing?" Mu Qiu used a more neutral term.

Silver Armor grabbed his fingers and said embarrassedly: "That was my first time out of Iron Armor. I was too nervous to see a human spacecraft. I only knew to dodge in a panic-I clearly remembered to put Dudu on the card on my upper body. It's in the slot, but I can't find it no matter how to find it."

"Nervous?" Mu Qiu was puzzled, "Are you afraid of being caught by humans? You...can't beat humans?"

Yin Jia shook his head, "Mechanical Star has regulations. Citizens of the second-level civilization are not allowed to reveal their identity in front of humans, otherwise they will be... obliterated."

"Erase?" Mu Qiu was startled, "Is that what I thought?"

Chu Qingtian nodded solemnly.

Magher said, "In this way, you have always known the existence of human beings. It's not that you can't reach the human society, but you are deliberately avoiding it?"

The leader of the golden armor nodded.

"So, what do you say now?" Maggie pointed to his group of people.

Jin Jia smiled, even with a metallic texture in his smile, "You found it yourself, it has nothing to do with us, the mechanical star investigator will naturally distinguish right from wrong."

Magher took out the style of the Federal President, with a usual smile, and asked: "Can the first leader tell the next, what kind of mechanical star exists?"

The leader of the Golden Armor crossed his arms and said solemnly: "As the leader of the Ironclad Star, I can't tell you anything, but," he smiled, and glanced around the pumpkin, "for the accommodation of my only child. I don’t think I should hide it.

"Mechanical star is actually a star cluster similar to the Milky Way, and its range is much smaller than that of the Milky Way. Intelligent life is mainly iron-based life like our ironclad tribe, but the technology is much more advanced than the human beings in the Milky Way."

"Is this what you mean by ‘second-level civilization’?"

The leader of the Golden Armor nodded, "Since you can find this place, it must be not far from being promoted to the second level of civilization."

All the humans sitting in the room couldn't help but stunned, and Maghe suppressed the inner waves and asked calmly: "What is the promotion method?"

"When the time comes, someone will naturally notify your leader."

Maghe fell silent, Ferdinand next to him still looked deserted, and never said a word.

Mu Qiu looked at this and that. Seeing no one spoke up, she couldn't help but ask: "Besides the second level civilization, will there be third, fourth, fifth or even higher civilizations on it? "

Because of the pumpkin, the Jin Jia leader was very friendly to Mu Qiu. He blinked and said meaningfully: "You know, the huge universe is not just a galaxy, not just a mechanical star. There are too many unknowns. , Too many advanced civilizations are far above us."

Mu Qiu took a breath—the Milky Way is not the end, and the Large Magellanic Cloud is not the end, and even the Zerg and Iron-based people are not the end. How many secrets are there waiting for humans to discover in the huge interstellar space?

—

Next, there is the matter of spiders.

According to the introduction of the leader of the Golden Armor, insects are also divided into two types, one is the Zerg, with wisdom and a certain civilization; the other is the insect, which can be said to exist like a beast, cruel in nature, and only has the desire to eat. , Without any reason.

In Mechanical Star, Zerg is a good combat partner. Individuals are strong, loyal and friendly, but few in number. Each sub-plane of Mechanical Star hopes to have a Zerg family stationed there. For example, the Iron Armored Star where they are now is always a Zerg. A spacious and comfortable breeding farm is prepared.

In addition to combat skills, some Zergs also have some special skills, such as some without fear of cosmic rays and weightlessness, which can freely travel through the interstellar; some can be integrated with the body of the iron-based people to improve combat effectiveness in a short time, and so on.

As for insects and beasts, they are divided into two types. Some insects and beasts are food reserves raised by iron-based people. Many iron-based people like to eat the shells of insects and beasts. After eating, they can supplement some elements lacking in the body, similar to human society. Care products.

Some insects and beasts, like spiders and insects, are not only a great threat to human society, but also very dangerous to the iron-based people. Those insects and beasts are irrational and even destroy a planet in order to eat and evolve.

When the golden armor leader learned that Chu Qingtian had killed a beast that was about to evolve into a king insect, he showed a look of surprise and admiration.

"Are you talking about the eight-legged beast in the east of the jungle? It has been nesting there for more than five years. It seems to be preparing for promotion recently. I have to say that we have no choice but to warn the tribe. Be careful when you go out—I didn’t expect you to kill it?"

"No, I just found its weakness and gave it the last blow." Chu Qingtian said frankly, "The one who made the most effort was a round-shelled beetle."

"That's also great." The leader of the golden armor smiled, with undisguised appreciation in his eyes, "Is the helper you mentioned the red shell worm who brought you here?"

"The red elytra is symmetrically distributed with seven black spots, three pairs of feet, and a pair of black tentacles—if you say the'red shell insect' grows like this, it is."

Jin Jia laughed, "That's right, the red shell insect is a rare species. Except for the three larvae it gave birth to a few years ago, there is only one adult insect all-mechanical star. I have to say, you are really lucky. it is good."

Eh?

The round red shell, the symmetrically distributed black dots, the curved tentacles... Isn't it just a ladybug?

There is only one mechanical star?

Mu Qiu pulled at Chu Qingtian's sleeves, and asked uncertainly: "Is the seven-star ladybug very rare?"

"Seven-star ladybug?" Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, "this kind of name is appropriate—there is no such kind of insect in the "Interstellar Zerg Clan"

"Does Qiuqiu know the Ladybug? It is in the picture book my uncle bought me." Simon said, pulling Laferdinand's hand.

The handsome guy, who has always been cold and glamorous, rarely shows a gentle smile.

Mu Qiu is a little bit square—no... it's also going through, right?
