Chapter 4: Birds and Smiling Faces

Nuoyi took the iron sheet entrained by the test run, came to the skeleton, and skillfully picked up the fully charged electric welding tool next to him and welded it. After working for a while, Nuoyi raised his head and exhaled: "Finally, the welding is finished, and the hull is finally completed." ”

Nuoyi looked at the ship with satisfaction, which had taken him and Barry's father and son several years of hard work, no more than ten meters long and three or four meters wide, with a fully sealed hull, only the cockpit protruding outside, and the stern of which was equipped with an agricultural machinery engine, which had also been saved up one by one over the years, as long as there was enough food and water, it could float out even if it was floating.

The ship was named Hope. Nuoyi lay down against the hull of the ship for a while, and plugged the power supply of the battery into a car player in the innermost part of the cave, which was also a player that had been eliminated and not used, and the agricultural machinery sent by the Blackstone Consortium was a little outdated, and he didn't bother to dismantle it. After a while, the player lit up with two small blue round lights, and the two small lights flashed for a while, as if they didn't wake up. Nuo Yi smiled and said, "Derpy, haven't woken up yet?" Immediately, there was a burst of noise on the player: "Wake up, wake up, yes, electricity, it's good." Nuoyi laughed: "Do you still like the shell of this player?" The player, named Derpy, flashed twice more and said, "No, no, I love it." Nuoyi said, "Do you not like it or do you like it very much?" Hahaha" Derpy's light flashed wildly and then said loudly, "I don't like it!"

Nuoyi was amused by this player that often jammed, and the pressure of quietly building a ship here for several years was released by talking and chatting with it. Looking at Derpy, who was anxious to flash the lights, Noichi's mind went back to that afternoon a few years ago.

When he went out that day, the sun was still shining, and Nuoyi also happened to drive out to debug, driving very far, and slowly left the grassland, but suddenly a huge sandstorm blew up, covering the sky and the sun, and soon Nuoyi lost his way, and when the sandstorm dissipated, Nuoyi found a huge column of smoke in the distance, and drove towards the pillar of smoke to a deep ravine, and a huge spaceship crashed into the ditch.

The ship is a long-range transport ship, and the wreckage is still faintly visible on the wreckage with a white coat of arms on it, and the blue flag has a white shield-shaped badge painted on the shield, and Noyi remembers that Barry said that the four corners of the cross symbolize the values of the Nebula Federation, the most powerful country on the planet Cloud: democracy, justice, courage and sacrifice.

How could a Nebula Federation spaceship fly to the territory of the Night God Empire, and how could it not be discovered, Noyi walked towards the almost burned spaceship with a mind full of questions. However, the spaceship that crashed in the sandstorm was so badly damaged that Noyi didn't even find survivors and bones, and even the navigation system was damaged, which made Noyi very disappointed, and the most difficult thing to get out of the Forgotten Island was the navigation system. However, to Nuoyi's relief, he found this artificial intelligence that burned more than half of it and could barely work on the ship.

After Barry's years of teaching, Nuoyi knew the outside world very completely, and quickly brought the artificial intelligence back quietly, and also dismantled the shell of a player to cover it up. Over the past few years, this spaceship intelligence named Derpy has indeed brought a lot of fun to Nuoyi.

Thinking back to reality, Noyi smiled and said, "Derpy, come and sing a song!" The player flashed happily a few times and immediately sounded a loud and uplifting melody, it was a very famous song, when Yun Lingxing had just entered the space age, a superstar's era masterpiece --- "Stars, My Home". Nuo picked up Derpy one by one, walked back to the car with his head shaken, put it in the passenger seat and said, "Let's go, take you for a ride!" Haha!" The light of the player flashed even more cheerfully, and the melody was on the coast, the flying car, the singing, and the boy, just a beautiful girl.

At this time, there was a beautiful girl on the island, who was sitting in the command room of the barracks, and there were the captain of the guard and Raymond standing on the left and right, and the female major looked at the airspace situation on the screen and said: "Captain Raymond, you should pay more attention to the airspace situation in the past few days, and tell me immediately if there is anything abnormal." Raymond nodded and said, "Yes!" The female major then said to the captain of the guard, "Ana, hasn't the drone been spotted yet?" The female major's guard captain Ana hurriedly replied: "The Forgotten Island is too big, and now chasing the energy fluctuations, only less than five percent of the area has been searched. The energy fluctuations were too faint, tracking was difficult, and I even had some doubts about whether the target was real. The female major hesitated for a moment and said, "You upload all the data collected by the drone to the Shenguang system to estimate the possibility." Raymond's eyelids jumped when he heard the name of the Divine Light, which is the Imperial Super Artificial Intelligence Computing System of the Night God Empire and the Boundless Nebula Federation and the strongest artificial intelligence on the Cloud Spirit Planet. With the permission to use the night god, this quest must be of a high level.

The female major added: "The power load of the fusion station is too low, and now it is necessary to reduce the air conditioning power of the entire barracks to ensure that the radar works all day, as well as the power of the drones, and all the exoskeletons in the barracks are in a state of charging and standby." Raymond hurriedly agreed, and as soon as the arrangement was made, Tom came: "Boss! Those people are too domineering, the air conditioners have been turned down, and no one is going to live. The answer was the soles of a pair of large leather shoes that Raymond had imprinted on his face.

Noyi puts Derpy back in the cave and inserts a most common civilian memory chip into Derpy's interface, and Derpy immediately plays an intermittent scene, which Barry told him about his father's combat skills, and for more than ten years, Noyi has persevered, building a strong physique and good fighting skills, which is also a good foundation for a racer. Barry had told Noyi that this was one of the best Imperial combat skills, and that Noichi's father had quietly told Barry before his execution that he had buried the information chip in his calf before he was brought into the Forgotten Island. This is the most basic civilian read-only chip, so it was quietly brought in. A few years ago, Nuoyi could only use some advanced agricultural machinery trucks to play, but after Derpy came, he had a better choice. More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Nuoyi said hello to Derpy and hurried back, after all, too long would make people suspicious.

Days are the least present in Forgotten Island, but these days are different as everyone looks forward to the annual Forgotten Island Racing Race. There are two days to go to the game, Nuo Yi lived in the lair of the boulder with the car, after all, everyone is afraid that the other party will do something to their car, this kind of thing has not happened, a few years ago Nuo Yi beat several cardinals to burn the car half to death. There are also some final adjustments that are more convenient here at the garage in Boulder.

Barry and Achill are also in the garage, Barry has a culture and understands data, and over the years he has slowly begun to manage accounts mainly for boulders, while Achill is naturally responsible for some maintenance work in the garage. Barry walked over and looked at Noichi and said, "How's it going, how did the car go?" Where else do you need to change?" "It's no problem to match the supercharger, but this supercharger is too big, it adds too much weight to the front of the car, and the corners will be very disadvantaged," Nuoyi said. Achill nodded: "Indeed, why not add a part of the fuel tank in the rear of the car?" Balance it" Nuoyi said: "It's not enough, and if you add more oil, you won't be able to use it up, and you'll be dead." But I do have an idea to put the gearbox in the rear and the engine output shaft longer, which might be better. Achill's eyes lit up: "It's a good way, so that the front and rear weights are almost the same, and the cornering performance will definitely be greatly improved." Just do it, Achill called a few old repairmen, and used the high-power equipment of the garage under the boulder building to get started.

West Side, Cardinal Garage.

Ana said with some concern: "Do you really want to participate in this competition?" Wouldn't it be more dangerous? The female major smiled: "It's really boring in the Forgotten Isle these days, this race has no assistance, it all depends on direct communication between humans and machines, Ana, can you still find such a racing competition in other parts of the Empire?" Ana, who knew the female major's personality and hobbies, still said, "But, what is your identity, my lord, in case you get hurt... ”

The female major looked back at Ana with a little playfulness and said, "Do you think this kind of competition can hurt me?" What do we usually train?" Ana had no choice but to nod, but still insisted: "My lord's car, I have to change it better." The female major smiled: "Okay, anyway, it is said that the No. 1 car opposite this year has a secret weapon, then we will also give a surprise." With a wave of his hand, a soldier in an exoskeleton stepped forward with a heavy box, then placed it on the ground and opened it.

Inside the box is a small motor and battery pack. The cardinal looked at it and exclaimed, "Do you want to add a hybrid?" Ana nodded, and called the Guardian's engineers and Cardinal's best maintenance workers to get moving. Ana said: "If this system is added, it will add a button, so that adults can do without it if they don't think it's necessary." The major smiled and nodded slightly.

The important day is finally here, today is the most carnival day in the entire Forgotten Island, the racing competition in the East and West Cities, determines the future resource allocation of the East and West Cities, and it can be said that it indirectly affects everyone. Nuoyi looked at the brand-new chariot with anticipation in his eyes, this year is the first time that there is a supercharge, and they must not be able to eat the ashes. While thinking about it, Nuoyi picked up a bright yellow spray paint can, sprayed a huge and simple circle on the side of the car, drew two dots and an arc in the circle, and the whole side of the car looked like a smiling face with stick figures, only Nuoyi himself knew that it symbolized hope in the predicament.

The female major's car has also been changed, with bright red ribbons sprayed on the side, which looks like a simple red flying bird, and at first glance it is the first car on the cardinal's side, and the female major also thinks it's okay for this pattern.

Smiling faces and birds will go to the desert.
