Interplanetary Planting Master - Chapter 73

The universe is deep and boundless, and energy storms erupt or annihilate all the time.

Not far from the edge of the Milky Way, a subspace storm spanning more than a dozen galaxies over several months is gradually receding. The purple lightning tore and cut the storm into countless pieces. A ring-shaped starship slowly emerged from the debris, as if being guided by some guidance, proceeded silently in the starry sky.

“This is…” Su He bent down and picked up the metal body at his feet. The metal body similar to the size of the Rubik’s Cube is obviously a synthetic item. The six facets are smooth, and it feels cold to the touch in the hand. The green light flickers on the surface, with a steady frequency. He rummaged it a few times, but couldn’t make out anything, so he handed it to Lu Li.

“…It’s like some kind of signal transmitter.” Lu Li took a look at it, and his tone was low. The Federation has too little knowledge of the parasite, and it is difficult to judge the purpose of this metal body based on the information it currently has. He felt out and scanned the place where the group of people had just stood. It seemed that there was no other energy in the sea except for such a metal body.

“Signal transmitter?” Lin Ji had already walked to the front, and stopped immediately when he heard Lu Li’s words. “Let me see.” He was affected by the Scarlet Iris incident many years ago, and his personality became more indifferent and depressed. Even if the gleaming sea of ​​energy in front of him only surprised him for a few seconds, but now he looked eager, his eyes fixed on the metal body in Lu Li’s hand.

After a long while, Lin Ji shook his head and returned the metal body to Su He, suppressing the doubt in his heart.

The metal body has changed hands several times, and the green light still flickers steadily. Su He threw it into the space button without paying too much attention to it. “Forget it, take it back and give it to the military department for research.”

Over time, no one knows what the metal body is. Even if it is a signal transmitter, the current Federation is no longer the Earth that just entered space a thousand years ago. Regardless of whether it is attracting parasites or dark beasts, they are kept forever. In fact, Su He hopes that the parasites can be really attracted, and it is best to catch them all in one swoop, and save the trouble of the Federation.

“Shall we go back?” Throwing away the metal body, Su He’s mind stuck to the characters again. The underground buildings have been buried, and it will take time to dig them all. He can’t wait to go back to the experimental energy gate now, and has little interest in staying here and stepping on Jinshan.

Although this investigation did not find information about the parasite, it was not considered empty-handed. Therefore, after listening to Su He’s words, neither Lu Li nor Lin Ji objected. It was already noon, and the desert was piping hot. Su He is not stupid. He didn’t call life forms anymore, but boarded the starship with Lu Li.

Several starships full of energy stones flew in the air. Liao Kai took the 50 kilograms of energy stones above Dong Ming’s head and followed behind the starships and struggling forward in the desert. Su He stood in the porthole and looked at the figures in the underground sympathetically, and quickly glanced at Lu Li beside him. It is the hottest time now. Imagine stepping on the sand and Su He feels pain for them.

Lu Li flexed his fingers to knock on the railing, still a little unsatisfied. “The speed is too slow. It seems that it has been slackened in recent months. Unfortunately, there is no dark beast here, wait to go back…”

When he went back, Lu Li didn’t say what to do, but Su He had fully understood it. He turned his head silently, and looked at Liao Kai’s eyes with more sympathy.

…

In the evening, Su He received news from Wei Na that the hill that buried them had been dug out, and all the underground buildings were exposed. Su He put down the energy gate he had studied halfway, and ran with Lu Li on purpose. After searching the place carefully, the sentries returned to the settlement without finding anything.

Although nothing of value was found, everyone had already determined that it was a warehouse built by a parasite. I think it is also impossible for the parasite to allow the energy stones to be piled in the open air, and the life forms have always regarded it as a nest, and kept stacking the energy stones nearby. It can only be said that the place in the consciousness of the life forms is the place where the energy stones should be piled. I just don’t know what happened later, the parasite actually abandoned this week, leading to the current scene of yellow sand.

Su He and Lu Li analyzed privately, and the reasons were just that. The most likely thing is that the parasite gradually degenerates and loses control of it. There are too many similar examples in human history. People like to conquer territories when they are strong, but they have to shrink their rule when they are weak. If it is really as recorded in the legend, human beings are beings created by gods in their own way. Presumably, the deities-parasites should be somewhat similar to the behaviors of human beings.

As for Lin Ji reminding them to pay attention to prevent the parasite from staring here, Su He didn’t worry much. There are really dark beasts here, and it is estimated that they will become food for life. The dense green tentacles in the desert are not beautifully displayed.

The people in the settlement are not aware of the fact that this planet has alien relics, and all their enthusiasm is devoted to the basic buildings of the city. Soon, after searching for the ruins to no avail, Lu Li and his sentries joined the construction of the city. Su He didn’t know anything about this, so he devoted most of his time to show “miracle”. With his efforts, the planting area of ​​Iris has expanded dozens of times over the initial period in just a few days.

Among them, Larson also contributed a lot. Although he is cunning, he is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Lu Li made it clear that he didn’t trust him, so Larson wanted to show his presence in front of Su He. The sentinel and guide were on their own, as long as Su He changed his mind, Lu Li would naturally not be a problem.

Larson still remembered Su He’s promise last time, and guarded Su He’s question about the energy liquid early. Su He also did not forget that this time he came here to purchase an entire warehouse. He followed Larson to the test site and watched the energy liquid poured down with his own eyes. Although the effect is not as good as they expected, the expanded planting area is real. It’s just that the time for crops to grow is slower, and the soil will lose fertility after a few times, and new soil needs to be replenished constantly.

Thanks to everyone’s hard work, the settlement can be said to be changing day by day. A few days later, when another batch of planted crops were harvested, Su He and his party were ready to set off on their way home. For their departure, the people who originally lived in the settlement were used to it, but the believers who believed in Su He refused to let Su He leave alone. Even if there are dozens of high-ranking sentinels behind him, this group of people insists that someone must be by Su He’s side.

“…” Su He, he felt like he was over-creating a god.

In this case, Ganzili would not let Su He go along with him. Su He had to express his hope that he would stay here and lead a group of believers. Under Su He’s persuasion, Ganzili reluctantly agreed to stay, but introduced another candidate that Su He could not think of.

“Larson?”

Su He didn’t know when Larson was fooled into believing in God. Larson chuckled and leaned to Lu Li’s side and said a few words in a low voice. Lu Li glared at him with a smile, agreeing that Larson would follow Su He.

Su He looked at Lu Li suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, “What did he say?”

Lu Li didn’t hide it, and smiled: “Larson said he was familiar with all the border black markets of the Federation, and knew dozens of star thief clusters, large and small. He recognized the Frost River and suggested that he come and find a black market to take action.”

Su He: “…”

The trouble of choosing candidates was solved, and a group of people boarded the starship. Looking down from the sky, the settlements have begun to take the shape of a city. Industrial districts, commercial districts, residential districts…Lu Li’s planning is well organized, with various unfinished buildings lined up, small black spots coming in and out, and the whole city is full of vitality.

“When we come again next time, we will see a brand new city.” Lu Li said, standing beside Su He, and also to everyone on the Iris.

A group of sentinels squeezed into the porthole, no matter what was happening, and looked down quietly. Seeing a city from scratch, from a few hundred people to several thousand people, and various buildings from foundation to completion is not only excitement, but also an indescribable feeling. This is the city that belongs to them, and the city that they have put in their passion for construction!

Su He held Lu Li’s hand and suggested, “Bring General and Han Rui to have a look next time.”

“Okay!” Lu Li Congshan Ruliu agreed. In fact, bringing the general to Iris is also everyone’s desire. As his voice fell, a long string of starships broke free from the atmosphere and disappeared into the sky.

Two days later, ten light-years away from the northwest border of the Federation, a black sphere suddenly formed in the universe. The purple electric light flashes in the sphere, as if someone splits it from it. The more the sphere cracks, the bigger it becomes and a stable force field is formed. In less than a few seconds, the Iris headed out from the inside, followed by a dozen huge transport ships.

“What’s the matter?” In the command room, Lu Li asked Wei Na in front of the observatory in a deep voice. “Why did you jump out of the wormhole ahead of time? We are still ten light years away from our goal.”

Wei Na operated on the instrument like flying hands, and explained to Lu Li in a low voice: “The data shows that a new wormhole is forming nearby, which interferes with our force field.”

“Wormhole? Is there any detailed information?” Lu Li became interested. This place is remote, and there is still some distance from the federal border, and the activities of the Star Thieves group will not expand so far. He thinks it is possible that a natural wormhole is forming outside.

Lu Li remembered that the last time the Federation discovered a natural wormhole was three hundred years ago, and it was also the time when they realized the existence of the Xikua people. According to regulations, those who find a wormhole will be rewarded by the Federation. Although Iris is not short of money now, Lu Li would not be so stupid to let it go with this kind of windfall opportunity.

“Wait a minute, further investigation is needed.”

The command room was busy because the Iris jumped out of the wormhole in advance. Across two floors of cabins, Su He was staring at the metal body on the table in surprise. The green glow enveloped the entire desktop, and the metal body that could not be changed at all unfolded from it, and several lasers flashed, intertwined in the air into a three-dimensional miniature starship. Su He looked familiar with the starship, the ring-shaped hull style was different from the common style of the Federation. On the flanks of the starship, eight different stars surround the central star, which suddenly aroused Su He’s memory.

“Ah!” He whispered, recognized the starship, and was about to call Lu Li, but the Iris shook suddenly.

Su He turned his head subconsciously, and outside the porthole, a black wormhole opened, and a broken ring starship was squeezing out from it.
