Soul Mechanic [Interstellar] - Chapter 130
[Strange 1849 star]
Mu Qiu was almost certain that Lan was 80% likely to be from the Federation, even though he did not speak the Federal language.
This speculation was verified after seeing the native wild star people.
On the 1849 star, the appearances of the residents are really very different. Some people have small bodies and big heads; others are tall and strong with small and pointed heads; some people have lime-like skins. , There are people with **** eyes embedded in their palm-sized faces, without white eyes.
The aborigines here are similar in appearance to the federal people, except that they are shorter in stature, and have a pair of tentacles on their bodies, which look very similar to those of a snail, except that they have more joints similar to the vertebrae.
Some people have tentacles on the forehead with rounded tops, while the rest are slender and can be stretched or contracted.
Some people have tentacles on their shoulders, bent into the shape of horns.
There are even people with different shapes on the back, ankles, and waist.
Lan told Mu Qiu that those with tentacles were the aborigines of Huangxing.
At this time, Lan Zheng took Mu Qiu out of the house and mixed into the crowd.
Two white and skinny Federation humans walked between the gray and wild star people, and they could see the difference between each other at a glance.
However, they have not been treated unfairly because they are heterogeneous. On the contrary, whether they are aborigines or relocated households, they are very respectful.
“Because you are a pharmacist?” Mu Qiu conveyed this meaning with a spirit wave.
Lan nodded a little uncertainly, and also responded with a spiritual wave: “Probably so… Autumn, I suggest you learn the language of the wild star!”
Mu Qiu shook his head firmly, “No, I will leave here soon.”
Lan sighed helplessly, “I have been here for thirty years, and I have never had a chance to leave.”
Mu Qiu asked quickly: “Do you remember how you got here?”
Lan shook his head, and said regretfully, “I don’t remember anything… But I saw something yesterday and I don’t know if it was a memory from the past.”
“I think it should be.” Mu Qiu said more positively.
Yesterday, when he put his mental tentacles on Lan’s forehead, Lan’s head suddenly ache. According to Lan later, he saw some pictures at that moment. There were adults and children. Mu Qiu guessed that he should be lost. Memory.
After a short inspection yesterday, Mu Qiu had preliminarily determined that Lan’s mental realm had suffered a lot of damage. Perhaps it was because of this that his mental wave was so weak and he lost his memory.
“Speaking of which, I was terrified yesterday. I’m really afraid that Da Bai will not obey and attack you. You know, in that case, I don’t even have the strength to stop it.” Lan said with some fear.
Mu Qiu smiled and patted the giant panda next to him affectionately.
Da Bai seemed to be enjoying himself very much, and he slapped him against him several times.
Lan quickly grabbed Mu Qiu’s hand and pushed Da Bai away again, then looked around vigilantly, and whispered in Mu Qiu’s ear, “Be careful, no one here can see Da Bai. You touch him like this. Uncertainty will be regarded as neuropathy.”
Although Lan used Huang Xingyu, Mu Qiu understood his meaning through spiritual waves, and nodded obediently.
Lan immediately showed a big smile, just like a simple child.
Mu Qiu gave a small admiration in his heart. No matter how Lan looked like he was over fifty years old—could it be because the soil and water here are too nurturing?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Mu Qiu was severely choked by the wind and sand at the entrance of the cave.
Lan laughed very unkindly. While laughing, he fiddled with the button on the neckline a few times. The original light gray shorts and vest “grew” at a speed visible to the naked eye until it covered all the skin, even the eyes. Never let go of the mouth.
Mu Qiu was sweating silently in his heart. From the eyes of one of his bystanders, Lan’s shape at this time was like the little green man who would be cut off at the end when making a movie-except that the color became dark brown.
“We are about to get out of the wind-proof tunnel, and quickly adjust our clothes to outdoor mode.” Lan reminded.
“Aren’t you bored?” Mu Qiu couldn’t help asking.
“Try it.” Lan said as he stretched out his hand, adjusting the buttons for Mu Qiu.
In the blink of an eye, another figure in a dark brown tights appeared in the windbreak.
Mu Qiu was surprised to find that although he was wrapped in tights from head to toe from the appearance, he did not feel bound at all.
The vision is good, the breathing is smooth, and even the contact between the skin and the clothes feels very loose.
What a magical technology!
Just as Mu Qiu was stunned, a large group of figures wrapped in tights had gathered behind them. The difference was that these people’s clothes were khaki.
Mu Qiu gave way to the side, motioning them to go first.
However, no one surpassed them, and instead retreated back respectfully.
Mu Qiu looked at Lan without knowing why.
“Go out and explain.” Lan whispered.
Mu Qiu nodded, and walked out of the cave side by side with Lan.
Only then did the people behind walked out one after another, and then rushed into the sandstorm eagerly.
Those who rushed to the front quickly took up a certain position, with their right hand held high and waving in the air. With each wave, there was less wind and sand above their heads, and in the next second, new supplements came in.
One big question mark flashed in Mu Qiu’s mind. He felt that he was like a child who had just entered the world, ignorant and ignorant of everything around him.
Without waiting for him to ask, Lan took the initiative to explain: “They are collecting soil. The weather on the barren star is a bit strange. It is sunny and comfortable for half a year, and wind and sand are constant for half a year. People will use the soil collected in the past half year to grow vegetables in the second half of the year.
“Do you have to collect it every year?” Mu Qiu was puzzled. Could it be that the dishes here grew up on soil?
I have to say that Mu Qiu is the truth.
Through Lan’s next explanation, he had a preliminary understanding of what a peculiar planet this was.
Star 1849, habitually called a barren star, was indeed a desolate planet that no one cares about one hundred and fifty years ago, and the Kanter Empire even regarded it as a place of exile for prisoners.
Until that year, the eldest prince of Kanter XVIII was discovered on this planet-as to why the prince was born with such a strange word as “discovery”, this is something later.
In short, since the eldest prince appeared on the 1849 star, this planet has begun to enter the sight of people from all walks of life.
Soon, some experts who focused on life research came to the conclusion that the dust here is the best medium for growing root vegetables, even better than the specially formulated nutrient solution.
You know, root vegetables are considered a luxury food in the Kanter Empire, not to mention the difficulty of cultivation, and the yield is not high.
However, these problems did not exist in Huangxing, relying on the sand and dust that did not know where it came from.
As a result, many people who want to make a fortune from root vegetables have come to this planet one after another. Some people grow them by themselves, and some hire others to grow them. The wild and sparsely populated stars gradually become lively.
Mu Qiu found that the people here did not feel the existence of the spiritual wave, so he felt relieved and boldly stretched out his mental tentacles to check the surrounding situation as far as possible, trying to find a way back to the Milky Way.
Then, he discovered a peculiar phenomenon-compared with the planet in the traditional sense, this planet is actually the opposite.
For example, under normal circumstances, the appearance of a round, regular or irregular sphere, humans and other creatures live and move on the arched surface of the planet.
The 1849 star is not the case.
It looks like a ball with a hollow inside. People live on the inner surface of this hollow ball, while the air mass is wandering in the center of the sphere.
The deeper and wider place Mu Qiu’s mental tentacles could not be reached for the time being, but this discovery alone was enough to shock him.
At this moment, he no longer doubted that he did indeed reach the outer galaxy.
——
Tianlong, cockpit.
Chu Qingtian stood straight in front of the console, his whole body calm as a statue.
On the virtual screen, Lin Yi looked at him with a complicated expression. After a long while, he said: “Have you decided?”
Chu Qingtian nodded without hesitation.
Lin Yi spoke again with a solemn tone, “Colon Chu, you must know that once you leave the battlefield at this time, you will not only have the infamy of fleeing on your back, you will never have the opportunity to wear this uniform again.”
“I insist.” Chu Qingtian replied decisively.
Lin Yi’s expression softened for a moment, and his tone became more peaceful. He nodded and said, “Okay, I approve it.”
When Chu Qingtian heard what he wanted, he didn’t look happy at all, and didn’t even blink his eyes.
He solemnly saluted the screen.
Lin Yi stared into his eyes and asked seriously: “I’m curious, have you hesitated before making this decision?”
“No, nothing at all.”
Lin Yi hooked the corner of his mouth and said warmly: “Go, get your guide back.”
Chu Qingtian nodded, and took the initiative to turn off the terminal.
The virtual screen gradually disappeared, Lin Yi’s expression remained the same, but the deep eyes flashed with emotions that other people couldn’t understand.
The moment Chu Qingtian’s image completely disappeared, Lin Yi closed his eyes vigorously, and a self-deprecating smile opened at the corner of his mouth.
If he had been like Chu Qingtian at this time, would things be different?
On the other side, Chu Qingtian left the console and put his slender fingers on the buttons on his chest as he walked.
One after another, his movements were neither fast nor slow, but his fingers were like falling a thousand catties of stone, so heavy that they could hardly be lifted.
Despite this, Chu Qingtian still did not stop.
In this way, he took off his military jacket and threw it to his feet.
During the whole process, the members of the Tianlong were all watching.
At this moment they were standing on both sides of the passage, but no one entered Chu Qingtian’s eyes. Even, including the little ones.
Chu Qingtian’s eyes stared straight ahead, and his fingers were placed on his waist again.
Maybe it was because he couldn’t stand this terrible atmosphere, or maybe it was the panic of losing Mu Qiu, which made Xiao Carrot no longer able to control his emotions and burst into tears.
