Chapter 33: Half a Sentence Late

ยท

The bed sister began to repair the mobile system.

The artifact fragments contain a magical energy that is rare, but very small in size.

This energy, known in Woland as the "breath of the Creator," was discovered by scientists decades ago. Unlike electrical and mechanical kinetic energy, the "Creator's Breath" is not used to drive, but to restore objects.

In an alien crash, materials and technology are insufficient, and she can only rely on this method to repair the spaceship.

Scientists have repeatedly verified that this new energy is repaired at the molecular level according to the design of the item. Organisms have genetic sequences, machines have structural designs, and in the face of new energy, everything can be repaired, no different. Even subtle improvements can be made.

How and where it came from are mysteries.

Finally, we developed the collection device and confirmed how to use it.

On this extraterrestrial exploration journey, the search for the "breath of the Creator" is the primary goal, and everything else is secondary. As a result, the equipment for harvesting new energy is built to be extremely strong, even if it is directly hit by nuclear fusion.

But it does not include antimatter explosions.

The small cylinder is the "antimatter energy core". In order to protect the new energy harvesting equipment, Sister Bed had no choice but to invite Yuanhuang, who happened to be passing by, into the spacecraft. After all, this matter is more important than anything else, even her own safety.

Thanks to this, the hull was saved from the blast, but it also led to another unexpected situation - the captain's ring was picked up by the alien natives and put on.

The language barrier, and the lack of mobile robots around her, she was powerless to stop them.

But, to be honest, she didn't think it would go for the worst. Because of the Captain's Ring...... No, all rings are genetically locked. Even if Yuan Huang picks up the ring and puts it on, he can't use it, and his identity will not become the acting captain.

But something bizarre happened.

When Yuan Huang put it on, the ring was immediately pierced into the skin with a small needle, a genetic sample was taken, the user's information was locked, and he was registered as the acting captain.

Why is that? Obviously, according to the procedure, even if the captain dies, the ring will not change hands, how can the genetic registration be reset?

Not only that, but she realized that all the rings were in an ownerless state. As soon as Yuan Huang put on the ring, she immediately received a notification that the acting captain appeared. He thought that the dead man on the ground was confirmed by the captain only by comparing the data with the video, but at this moment, Yuan Huang was different - she could actually sense the position, signs, and words of the acting captain at any time.

She doesn't remember what happened before the crash.

There were 11 registered crew members, including the captain and the prosthetic robot, but now only seven bodies and one scrap metal have been seen, where are the other three? All of their rings were unbound before they crashed. In addition to the official Shuishu County government, she has such authority, which is herself.

If it is judged to be an emergency, she has the right to fire the captain in accordance with the principle of being responsible for Mizuki. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent the captain from absconding with the ship or betraying.

She actually fired everyone before she lost her memory? What kind of emergency is happening?

There are black boxes.

But placed in a very sturdy core near the power turbine, she couldn't ask Yuan Huang to use a plasma cutter to make it all the way. I didn't even dare to tell the curious Yuan Huang, worried that I couldn't help but break in.

As the hull slowly repairs, the black box can be obtained. The latter is not a priority, the former is.

"Yuanhuang has something to say in advance, as the acting captain, you have the obligation to repair me and return it to the Shuishu County Government. You will get a 10% bonus. After a pause, she decided to keep all the ugly things in front of her, so as not to resentment in the future, "Also, if it is confirmed that you refuse to fulfill this obligation, or deliberately delay it." I have the right to remove you from your position as acting captain and choose someone else. โ€

"Don't worry."

"Great, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen with you."

"Me too."

Sister Bed's artificial feelings produced a sense of reassurance.

Yuan Huang looked as plain as water on the surface, but in fact, there were turbulent waves in his heart.

Isn't this heavenly palace owned by whoever picks it up? Why do I have to pay it back? No wonder they always call me "acting" bed captain. Deliberate procrastination is not allowed yet, what should I do?

What to do!

"Sister bed, let me ask, how long will it take to repair it?"

"If it's all of that amount, it's estimated that you'll need a total of about fifty artifact fragments. The mobile system has just been repaired and is ready to start. โ€

As the words fell, Yuan Huang felt that the Heavenly Palace began to move, and there was a slight inertia of his body backwards. The almost unbelievable slope of the floor was leveled again, and a faint roar could be heard. He was in the energy operation room at the moment, and immediately looked out of the window where the small cylinder had been projected. The trees, bathed in the setting sun at dusk, are slowly moving to the side, along with the mountains in the distance.

Wow, it's really moving, such a huge palace can really move!

Yuan Huang was a little excited. At first, I thought about how many horses it would take to pull such a palace, but I didn't expect it to move purely by magical power. The power of science is unfathomable, and I really want to learn this kind of celestial magic.

As the bed sister said, the movement speed seems to be very slow, which is deliberately to save energy. However, the speed of the horse's slow march is very remarkable, and it should be possible to move into the mountains quite remotely before dawn the next day.

Well.

Well?

Yuan Huang slapped his head sharply.

I'm really stupid! Such a huge and heavy palace would leave exaggerated and obvious rut marks even if it was moved to the edge of the cape, right? That will be easily tracked by others, and there is a fart for moving, huh?

"Sister bed, let me ask, will it leave traces when you move into the mountains like this?"

"Crushing the trees all the way, it will be obvious."

Yuan Huang rolled his eyes. It's completely over, and now that an intruder has escaped and can't hide the Heavenly Palace, it's no longer possible.

Could it be that you have chosen the wrong "system"?

I have a second artifact fragment, and I've had to use it again for now...... No! Impossible. Once I take it out, it is equivalent to showing the bed sister, "I kept a hand for you, why? Needless to say? Because I'm deliberately delaying the repair work!" , will be immediately removed from the position of acting bed manager!

Damn!

When Yuan Huang was about to regret it, Sister Bed threw out the words that made him want to come again: "Then, I suggest going underground. It's just that the energy will be consumed to the point where it almost bottoms out in one go, what do you think? โ€

"Just do it! Please! โ€

Yuanhuang has no other choice. It was an unexpected way to have the entire Celestial Palace go underground. Since it fell from the sky, it would definitely make everyone else have a blind spot in their thinking, "return to the sky", and they would never think of going underground. Wonderful! After all, the earth escape magic that burrowed into the ground was not this kind of large-scale at all, and it was almost ...... for just one person

Forehead?

I'll go!

Yuan Huang suddenly thought of one thing! The blood trail of the intruder who had just fled was suddenly cut off...... Maybe it's burrowing into the dirt!

Now it's probably too late to go back and chase that guy back! Thinking of this, Yuan Huang immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, Sister Bed......!" โ€

But half a sentence late, outside the window was already completely rapidly rising soil. It was too late for him to chase Di Zhixue.
