Volume 1 Exile Chapter 20 Planetary Observations
"Since we're going to the Cicada Planet's manufacturing factory, we can just use memory teleportation, so why do we have to walk there?" Yue Xingwu said incomprehensibly.
"Hehehe...... I wanted to, too, but no! Memory teleportation can only be used in spaces where cicadas have a sense of community, and cannot be done outdoors in an open space. Qin Xia looked at Yue Xingwu's confused eyes and explained with a smile.
"These skills still seem to have limitations, but they are enough for daily use!" Yue Xingwu listened to Qin Xia's words and said with understanding.
"You're right, the skill itself will be restricted by factors such as time and space, willpower, distance range, proficiency, etc., and if you practice diligently, you will slowly understand the inner mysteries." Qin Xia affirmed Yue Xingwu's guess.
"Have you ever ridden a horse in the Alliance?" Qin Xia asked him suddenly.
"Horses? I've only seen it when I've traveled the planet? But I haven't really ridden it. Yue Xingwu said with a confused expression, he didn't know what Qin Xia meant.
"Seen on Earth? Listening to the older generation, didn't the earth be destroyed long ago because of the nuclear war of mankind? Qin Xia couldn't help asking.
"Yes, the Earth was destroyed a long time ago by a nuclear war of humanity. Fortunately, humanity has a gene pool of life on Earth at the Mars base in advance. The human beings who escaped from the earth continued to expand the stars outward, and the gene pool that stored life on the earth also went through several twists and turns. It is only in the last millennium that humanity has come together to rebuild the planet, and the long-stored gene pool has been activated. It took about 500 years for humans to recreate the earth's ecological environment and restore its former natural appearance. Unfortunately, many of the monuments can no longer be restored and are difficult to reproduce. In order to warn everyone of the great harm of nuclear war, mankind has set up the earth as a nuclear war memorial planet, and only a small number of people are allowed to stay and take care of the planet, and others are only allowed to visit and travel, and are not allowed to settle on the earth. Yue Xingwu replied seriously.
"Well, I see. We, the border people, are lonely and unheard, and we are not as well-informed as you as officers. Qin Xia was surprised when she heard Yue Xingwu's words.
"What planet did you settle on when you were in the Alliance?" Yue Xingwu then asked.
"Our hometown is on the planet Shenxu in Scorpio, and our planet is a grassland planet, an endless prairie, full of cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses. Of course, these creatures are also bred by scientists from the human gene pool. Our daily life is to ride horses and herd sheep, and we are very happy and healthy. Qin Xia spoke, filled with happy memories and couldn't extricate herself.
"Scorpio τ is indeed a fringe star controlled by the Alliance, and it is no wonder that Sister Qin knows very little about interstellar affairs. And now on this withered cicada planet, it is really providential for me and Sister Qin to meet in such a tragic way. Yue Xingwu said with great emotion.
"Okay, no more sad things. Do you see the horses? Sister Qin pointed to a group of horse-like animals on the grass in the distance, and asked Yue Xingwu eagerly.
"What a strange horse! How can there be three eyes. Yue Xingwu looked in the direction that Sister Qin pointed out, and there was indeed a group of animals like horses grazing on the red grass.
"It's the favorite travel tool of humans in the Withered Star Walking Horse Beast, let's go over, each of us ride one horse to the Cicada Star Man Factory. If we had only walked, we wouldn't even be able to see the gate of the manufacturing plant today. Sister Qin looked at those horse beasts and said to Yue Xingwu.
"I really have no experience in horseback riding, let alone such a tall horse beast! Sister Qin, you grew up on the grassland since you were a child, is there any good way to control it? Yue Xingwu looked at the tall horse beast, and his heart was full of unconfidence.
Qin Xia listened to Yue Xingwu's words, smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's much the same as the way you opened the Wave Light Gate, as long as you control its mind with your mind, you can tame it!" There's also a stupid way to get on its back and try to control it. Of course, this method is very primitive and dangerous, and it is better not to try it. As they spoke, the two of them had already walked up to the group of horses. I saw Qin Xia meditate for a while, and a red horse beast shook its head and ran to her side. Qin Xia patted its neck, and the red horse beast was half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for her to ride up. Qin Xia held the neck of the horse beast with both hands and climbed onto the horse's back. The third eye above the Traveling Beast's eyebrows immediately emitted blue light, and then, the red scales on its back suddenly lengthened, wrapping around Qin Xia's waist and thighs, and firmly fixing Qin Xia on its back.
This real scene stunned Yue Xingwu, and he thought to himself: "There are still such strange horses in this world!" What an eye-opener! ”
Qin Xia rode the red horse beast, ran around and came back, and said loudly to Yue Xingwu: "Xingwu, hurry up and control a horse beast, let's set off immediately!" Don't waste any more time here! ”
"Okay, Sister Qin, I'll try to control a horse beast." Yue Xingwu saw that Sister Qin was urging, and while agreeing, he checked which horse beast in the beast group satisfied him the most.
A blue traveling horse beast came into Yue Xingwu's eyes, its height was not outstanding in the herd, judging from its immature expression, it should be a newly grown walking horse beast, with a pair of beautiful long horns on its head, and a blue lin hair fluttering in the air.
Yue Xingwu began to close his eyes and meditate according to the method Qin Xia said, and when he opened his eyes, the little blue horse beast was indifferent to him at all, and still gnawed on the red grass in the herd.
"Sister Qin, according to the method you said, why can't I control that horse beast?" Yue Xingwu asked Qin Xia a little embarrassed.
Qin Xia rode the red Horse Beast and quickly came to Yue Xingwu's face, she couldn't wait to say, "You have to concentrate on it, maintain a high degree of concentration, and achieve the unity of body and mind in order to complete the control of the Horse Beast." ”
Yue Xingwu followed the method taught by Qin Xia and did it again. A magical scene appeared, and he saw that the little blue horse beast really ran towards him. It kept rubbing its head against Yue Xingwu's arm, as if expressing its intimate feelings. Yue Xingwu was extremely happy, stroked the blue lin hair on its body, and then patted its neck in the same way as Sister Qin. The little blue horse beast literally knelt down, waiting for him to mount his horse. Yue Xingwu hurriedly turned over on his horse, patted its neck again, and the little blue horse beast stood up. Then, the blue fur on its back also suddenly became longer, wrapping around Yue Xingwu's waist and thighs.
Yue Xingwu rode firmly on the back of the little blue horse beast, and he rode around its neck like Sister Qin.
"Alright, we're almost done, let's go!" Qin Xia looked at Yue Xingwu, who was excited, and said with satisfaction.
"Okay, Sister Qin!" Yue Xingwu hurriedly agreed. When Qin Xia heard this, she immediately hit the belly of the horse beast with both feet, shouted "driving", and rushed out like an arrow on the red horse beast.
Yue Xingwu didn't dare to slack off, and manipulated the blue horse beast to catch up. The two horses galloped forward one after the other, and just like that, they galloped forward.
On the southern outskirts of the Golden Horn lies the industrial manufacturing area of the Cicadas. All kinds of factories are arranged in the corners of the manufacturing area, and there are flying boats of cicadas rising and falling from time to time in the sky above the factory, which looks quite busy.
In a translucent red factory building, human slaves are carrying the black ore inside the ship. These ships are the transport ships of the cicadas, they are shaped like large gray moths, and their fat bellies are filled with black ore transported from the mines.
Around the human slaves, there stood a number of cicada overseers holding rattan whips. When they saw which slave was slow, he went up and lashed it hard. The slaves screamed and rolled until they quickened their movements. Some of the older slaves, due to their lack of physical strength, could not keep up with the rhythm of others, and were beaten by the overseers of the cicada star, and finally could not bear this inhuman torture, and fell to the ground and passed out. Under the instruction of the overseer, the cicada thugs on the side quickly dragged the unconscious out, and the subsequent outcome can be imagined.
After a while, the cicada overseers and thugs were tired of tossing, and they went into group meditation together to have fun and relax. When the cicadas meditate together, their individual consciousness will move together in another real scene, and the body will be in a state of nothingness. The group meditation is not too long, it can be half an hour long and a few minutes shorter.
The gate of the factory building may have been closed due to the negligence of the cicadas. Seeing this, five or six daring slaves glanced at each other, threw the ore together, and ran towards the outer gate. Some of the slaves, seeing this, also joined them in the procession of escape.
Seeing that they were about to run to the gate, the bodies of the cicada overseers and thugs suddenly moved, and they returned from collective meditation. The escaped slaves panicked, and they ran desperately to the gate.
"A human slave has run away, hurry up and chase it!" The cicada overseer found out about this situation and hurriedly shouted, and the cicada thugs quickly chased after him.
The two cicada guards at the gate had just returned from meditation and were stunned for a moment when they saw the human slaves rushing over.
The cicada thugs chasing after him shouted to the two guards, "You two, stop them quickly." Only then did the two cicada guards react, and the balls of flesh in their midlimbs began to shoot venom bullets at the human slaves who rushed towards them. Several of the slaves were hit by venom bullets, which were instantly corroded into a mass of liquid.
"Close the door!" The thugs chasing after him shouted.
A cicada guard began to meditate, preparing to seal the gate. Another cicada guardian engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a human slave, and the human slave was the opponent of the cicada guard, and he immediately cut down several of them.
The gate of the factory was quickly sealed by the cicada guard, but a few of the fast human slaves escaped.
