Chapter 416: A Long Journey
As it would take them a long half a year to make their way back to Frost, Barrett was not idle.
Along the way, he asked Karma to accumulate tools and individuals, and at the same time carried out the education that Xingtong should have.
Three adults took turns to be a teacher for a one-year-old girl, but it hurt this little beauty.
I saw her coquettish to Barrett with tears in her eyes: "Dad, my hands hurt ......" The little girl who was forced to practice calligraphy begged pitifully.
Barrett laughed: "Ah, you little clever, why didn't you say that when Sister Hanyu taught you just now?" β
Seeing this little girl, Barrett had a strange feeling that she was a continuation of herself.
"When you get to Frost, you'll have a young lady, and she's Mimi." Barrett massaged her little hands and told her to sit on her laps and rest for a while.
"That young lady is very powerful, she learned something that others can only master in five years in one year." Barrett still remembers the child's diligence, perhaps because the life experienced was full of hardships, and after the life improved, Mimi did not have a little arrogance and arrogance.
Loving, hardworking, and even having a strong faith, Mimi was a very, very good child.
"Ah............h
The little girl was not lazy, she struggled to climb down Barrett's lap, and sat back down at her desk.
"Our text doesn't look like yours, does it?" Hanyu is in the process of classifying all the knowledge that has been parsed out of the six books, which is a huge project, and it is not until half a year later that a rough classification is completed.
"Well, the gap isn't huge, and we've been using Chinese characters and stuff there." Barrett looked at the star pupil who continued to write seriously, after all, Frost was still developed by people who went out of the earth, although the religious aspect is very serious, the cultural inheritance has not been missing.
Ace walked in with a couple of small cups, which were actually purer recompositions of the kind of slime he ate with Hotar Hitomi.
It can provide a very considerable amount of energy, and a normal person can guarantee a daily calorie supply.
However, in the universe, the most lacking thing is water.
The reason is very simple, although water can be composed directly from the transformation tool and energy, the taste of this water is very poor, and it even feels like drinking electrolyte.
Every time he drank water, it seemed like a kind of torture, so Barrett would not choose to find fault for himself except as a last resort.
As for why there is no circulating water purification device, the reason is simple------ this is a primordial technology ship from Karma's hometown............
"Seven thousand light-years away there is a trading post for the Tuts." An avatar of Karma appeared in the room, and since Barrett had been given full permissions, Karma was no longer the virtual light cluster she had before, but a complete human form.
With long blue hair, silver-white tight-fitting armor, and a bright blue glow radiating from her eyes, she looks no different from ordinary people.
"Aliens?" Barrett actually has some dislike for alien creatures with a higher civilization level, after all, none of the creatures he has come into contact with are friendly.
"It's supposed to be an unmanned trading station." Kama glanced at the people in the room who were doing their own things, and she replied.
This kind of trading post is not unusual, and even the humans of Earth have done something accordingly.
It's just that what they sell, no, what should be offered in exchange is just a pure gold record, which forms a greeting in the languages and words of various peoples.
Of course, the Tut trading posts are not so literary, they are purely for trade.
It's just that the bargaining chips in the trade are nothing else, but the information or technology they want.
And this Tut, humans have never been in contact with them, and all the information now comes from the log information originally kept in the observation post.
There is no need for physical contact, which makes Barrett a lot more comfortable and reassuring.
"Do we have anything to trade?" If there is nothing, he asks, then why waste time.
Hanyu looked at him like he was mentally retarded, and Ace was also puzzled.
Or Kama, she did not show contempt for him, but said bluntly: "Any information obtained from the book alone can be used as a bargaining chip, and sometimes, these people are not for advanced technology." β
"Actually, triggering is more useful than blindly climbing the tech tree." Star Hitomi whispered in his father's ear.
Seeing that there were more people in the room, the star pupil who had just been serious for a while sprouted again, and climbed on him to be lazy.
Suddenly realized, Barrett figured out that what they wanted was all kinds of possibilities, and Kama's owner also came to Earth with this purpose.
Speaking of Kama's masters, he didn't know exactly what their names were.
"Okay, then we'll go check it out." After speaking, Barrett casually asked, "Kama, what is the name of your hometown?" And who are the people there? β
"My hometown?" Kama pondered for a moment before she said, "Messiah." β
With that, she turned into a burst of light and disappeared again.
"Alien trading post, I'm curious about what I can buy." Shopping may have been an instinct, but before he could confirm whether it was safe or not, Hanyu began to imagine what he could buy.
"I'd like a sewing set." Ace has been working on tailoring lately, which is a way to pass the time.
As she spoke, she fed Hoshitomi food.
The little girl is full of food, and I don't know why she can eat it all over her mouth whether you make it into cans, tubes, or even bowls.
Then decisively wiped his mouth with Barrett's face, and Xingtong could say that this was an instinctive reaction.
Barrett, on the other hand, seemed to feel it completely unfeeling, searching his mind for one wordβMessiah.
It took him a moment to come to his senses.
"Uh, why can you make this little girl?" Seeing that the corners of Xingtong's mouth were all slimy slime, Barrett looked helpless.
The little girl giggled, her round face full of joy.
It's a pistachio.
After playing with her for a while, Xingtong went to sleep a little sleepy.
It was only at this time that Barrett asked Hanyu and Ace, "Have you heard of this Messiah?" β
Both shook their heads, either way, they had been exposed to information from their respective high-level leaders, but they had never heard of the term at all.
In other words, there is no mention of this name in the information of the ruins and the observatory.
Scratching his head, since he couldn't figure it out, Barrett put it aside and waited for time to think about it later.
Now the main thing is to filter out some information that is not sensitive and presentable.
"Anything related to the name of a person, a country, or even a place is not allowed." Barrett didn't intend to expose the Earth's information to the unknown Tuts, he said.
With this retrieval rule in place, it didn't take long for Karma to complete the list of information that could be provided.
It's not too much, it's just something like a log.
I don't know what to change.
Having completed its preparations, the Karma left its original channel and turned to the trading post of the Tuts.
Seven thousand light-years away, isn't that far, and it didn't take long for the Karma to begin to receive guidance into the pit. γ
The trading post is not very large, rectangular in shape, with openings on one side.
This is the location of the incoming port.
The space inside is even smaller, only enough to accommodate the mooring space of eight small ships, which also shows that these Tuts don't expect anything important here.
Sure enough, it was an unmanned trading station, so he didn't have to leave the ship, and soon Kama completed contact with the trading station's AI.
They spoke in a language Barrett didn't understand, and soon he was bored and walked aside.
Hanyu waited patiently for the list of transactions, and sure enough, women naturally like to shop.
Barrett stood in the doorway of the storage room, and Ace was tidying up the space.
Noticing Barrett standing behind him, Ace smiled, "Take it, use this to pass the time." β
A hilt of a sword was placed in his hand.
This is............ The Invisible Sword.
He thought that this sword was completely buried under Kunlun Mountain, but he didn't expect it to appear here.
As soon as he picked up the sword, Barrett remembered Meroka Sals and Sasu.
I don't know what happened to these two people, and he doesn't even know if they are dead or alive.
However, he knew that Sasu was not dead, so it was not very likely that the king would die.
It's just that why he chose to leave made Barrett a little puzzled.
Fingers stroking the blade of the sword, which was so sharp that it exuded coldness, Barrett made his way to the break room.
Before he could reach the lounge, he was grabbed by Hanyu.
"Kama bought a big guy, you come and help."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ I have such a dangerous thing in my hand, how can I help? "Of course, Barrett will not use the invisible sword to do coolies, he is simply asking for his own suffering.
However, he was clearly interested in the big guy that Karma bought: "What is it?" There are transformation tools, there is no shortage of food and energy, what big guys want to buy? β
Hanyu glanced at the hilt of the sword in his hand and remembered that the sword had come.
"Then again, it's really dangerous to find a way to store it away, and it's a bit dangerous to keep it alone." Due to its strange properties, in order to store it, Karma actually made a levitating storage compartment for this sword.
But not to mention the laborious and space-consuming space, it is still unstable.
It's a shame to throw it away.
"As for what I bought, it's actually a water molecule machine. Now there is cold and delicious water to drink. As she spoke, Hanyu ran towards the hatch, and it looked like she had suffered a lot from the fact that Karma's water was extremely unpleasant.
Back in the room, Barrett studied for a long time, and there was no way to place the invisible sword safely, so he could only reluctantly wrap it in a blanket, saving the unsuspecting from hurting the unsuspected.
Carefully lock the room of the star pupil, this little girl eats everything when she is hungry, and it will be bad if she hurts.
They don't need to do anything to install the equipment, but it is a manual task to carry the water molecule compression pack.
It's not that big, but a matchbox-sized compressed bag weighs more than a dozen tons, which is really manual work.
Barrett was depressed to find that this kind of work was not as useful as Ace's.
Finally, with the assistance of the gravity repulsion device, Barrett picked up a piece, but Hanyu and Ace walked quickly with a bunch.
"I'll go, the combat tools are really stronger than people, not a little bit." After expressing his feelings, he decided to watch the play.
"Please call me a full-form combat gear." Hanyu teased.
Soon, the handling was complete.
There was no need for the Kama to stay here and continued their journey.
Looking at the bathtub in the pantry?? Barrett was speechless.
"Oh my God, what are you going to do here?" Although there is gravity control, but use the bathtub here? This is the storage room.
"Of course, to enjoy life, this bathtub also has an electrostatic massage function, which is made of the latest cutting-edge materials." Hanyu winked mischievously and pushed him out of the storage room.
"Don't forget to fill the synthesizer with materials, a small piece can be converted into 350 tons of water." Hanyu's reminder came from the storage room.
Ace was counting the things she had changed, and she smiled and said, "It's hard work, but fortunately they have a hobby of cleaning their bodies." β
It was only with her introduction that Barrett understood why the Tuts had such a thing.
Originally evolved from sea creatures, the Tut has a layer of mucus on its surface that needs to be cleaned frequently.
So the bathtub and water became an indispensable thing for them.
"And changed some things like weapon drawings and stuff." Ace shook her head with some regret, but unfortunately the nature of the Tuts, they couldn't wear normal clothes, so they didn't buy the sewing tools she wanted.
Barrett can understand the weapon drawings, and he has no ability to compose, but he doesn't have any knowledge that can be proven, which has always been a problem that plagues Kama.
With the help of a microrobot, Barrett loaded a compressed block of water molecules weighing more than a dozen tons into the synthesizer.
Soon, cool water flowed out of the outlet.
After drinking it in one gulp, and glad that he no longer had to enjoy Kama's electrolyte torture, Barrett felt a sour feeling in his heart.
Soon, several micro-robots from nowhere began to rush to work and pushed Barrett aside.
Hanyu's image appeared in front of him: "Don't get in the way, we need to get a water supply pipe that goes directly to the storage room, you can find a place to cool off yourself." β
Quickly filling the cup in his hand before the robot could connect the pipe, Barrett reluctantly walked away.
"Women's resentment about bathing............" He sighed as he saw that Ace, who was still serious, was also eager to try the storage room.
In contrast, it seemed like he hadn't taken a shower in a long time.
I thought about it for a long time, and it seemed like more than a hundred and fifty days ago............
After smelling his body, there was no peculiar smell, and he seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes when he was treated in Xingtong's mouth............
Back in the room, Barrett found it in shambles.
The little girl wielded the invisible sword with great joy, as if she had found some good toy.
"You can find it when it's locked up, and I'll obey you." He said helplessly.
These slashed furniture and blankets will soon be repaired by Kama, but now the star pupil, who is like a little madman, doesn't seem to be able to settle down for a while.
"Dad, look what a good toy I've found, shiny!" After a while, she ran over with a little blushing and plunged into Barrett's arms.
Reaching for the invisible sword, Barrett said, "Is this a toy?" The guy was probably going to be when he heard that. β
As soon as he remembered that Meroka Sals was also a little girl, wielding this sword, Barrett unexpectedly wanted to laugh.
Of course, the few people now do not know that the Tuts have completed a revolution because of the information they have provided............
Of course, that's all for later.
