Hairy bears
As soon as the scientific research operation on Alpha 137 was launched, it encountered obstacles, and as a member of the security team, Morningstar had a faint sense of indescribable crisis. Since seeing Ronald's face-changing drama, although Morningstar is still so cynical on the surface, he has put away the playful mentality when he first participated in the action.
Lying in his room, Morning Star connects the various events that happened before and after, which makes this sense of crisis even more profound.
Alpha 137 is a planet closer to the Republic Star Chart, and the initial exploration of immigration feasibility was led by the Republic. According to the tripartite agreement, whether it is a habitable planet or a resource planet, the Republic, the Empire, and the Alliance all have common rights and obligations. Therefore, the action was led by the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China, with the participation of all three parties.
In the course of human interstellar navigation, there are many similar scientific expeditions. Because of the pioneer exploration team, the difficulty of security after that has dropped a lot. If it is a high-risk planet, either the development will be abandoned, or the fleet will carry out the clearance. Therefore, in such an operation, the significance of security is more to provide a stage for students to practice.
Morningstar reflected on the experience before and after, and noticed a few suspicious points. The first is the security team to which they belong, and the initial composition is that the tripartite military assigns their respective cadets to participate. However, it was not an unacceptable surprise that his partner withdrew, just before the operation was about to begin, and it had happened in a similar situation before, and only one other student had to be assigned by the academy to participate. But what made Morning Star wonder was that the vacant place that belonged to Yanhuang Military Academy was not filled. And those three mecha pilots from the Alliance, since Morningstar first saw them, always felt that something was wrong. After a few days of contact, the sense of disobedience on their bodies gradually became clear. Nick's identity is shown on the information to be an outstanding student of a military academy on the alliance side, and almost all of the usual communication with other people on the ship is done by Nick. Dante usually speaks little, and in Morningstar's impression, there seems to be only one detail about him, and that is to follow Ronald and meticulously carry out Ronald's orders. And Ronald, who usually behaves most calmly, excludes his special hobby of changing faces, and Morningstar finds that this so-called student is more like a decisive soldier. Putting the suspicions of the three people together, Morningstar had a vague inference. Ronald is a soldier, Dent is his best fighter, and Nick is just a real student who exists to disguise the identities of these two. If the extrapolation is correct, then the presence of these three people will become a serious destabilizing factor. Finally, Captain Tina also makes Morningstar feel special. The Botanist is a scientific research and exploration ship belonging to the Empire, and the captain of this ship, Tina's usual performance impresses Morningstar. The command is orderly, the sense of safety is even more prominent, the person is exquisite, and the work is comprehensive, to use the words of Morning Star when he laughed at her, it is that Tina is really overkill on such a ship. And what La Niña said to Morningstar a few hours ago made him even more confused. Captain Tina asked La Niña to solve the problem himself, what is the reason? Morningstar didn't think his usual performance could give Tina such a firm confidence.
Just when Morning Star was struggling to sleep because of the suspicions in his actions, a bewitching-looking blonde woman wiped the dagger in her hand in a mansion somewhere in the capital of the Republic, looked at the man lying in a pool of blood, and leaked a ghostly smile.
After walking out of the mansion, the blonde whispered to the private terminal in her hand, "Mission accomplished!" He disappeared into the darkness of night in the midst of the raging fire.
The morning star, who had tossed and turned all night, woke up to Ben's knock on the door. On the direction of the botanist, Morningstar and three other security personnel were to explore the perimeter of several atmospheric modifiers on Alpha 137 close to the camp today. Partnering with Morningstar was Dante, a man of few words who adhered to his usual style, unless it was necessary to communicate, and there was no extra chat, Morningstar finally chose to give up after several attempts, and silently piloted the aircraft and drove towards the designated target.
The pristine ecological environment is a unique beauty, and the morning star driving at low altitude is a rare comfort when looking at the lush jungle and the occasional variety of never-before-seen beasts and animals beneath your feet.
Arriving at the location of the Alpha 137-3H Atmospheric Modification Facility, the heavily armed Morningstar and Dent left the aircraft. Unsurprisingly, this retrofit unit also suffered the same damage as the 3A. Morningstar briefly inspected the damaged area, and there was no difference from the previous damage method, and the internal damage was basically the same. In accordance with Ben's requirements, Morningstar took out the data core in the atmospheric modification device. According to the instructions, the security team needs to search and explore the area near the modification device, but the environment near Alpha 137-3h is really not suitable for the exploration of aircraft, the entire area is full of plants up to 20 meters high, dense branches completely block the aerial vision, and mushroom-shaped giant trees cover the jungle like umbrellas. After consulting with Dante, Morningstar agreed to his offer to search on the ground. Agreeing on a return time, Morning Star rushed deep into the forest.
The journey was relatively calm, and Morningstar used his personal terminal to record images of flora and fauna while making a simple assessment of the safety factor. With the exception of a rodent that resembles a mouse, the animals on this planet are quite friendly, and most of them choose to ignore Morning Star's candid behavior. Some of them have a lively temperament and take the initiative to approach the Morning Star to express their friendliness, just like the huge "dog" that is more than two meters tall in parallel with the Morning Star now.
Genes are really a magical thing, dogs on Earth are friendly to humans, and will shake their tails desperately, and this dog-like creature, after Morning Star saved his offspring, has been shaking his two big furry tails to try to get close to Morning Star. After experiencing a struggle of thoughts, Morningstar also tried to stroke its huge and honest head. So, this person became a friend as soon as he was a "dog".
Morningstar gave this "dog" a name, a hairy bear. The reason is that this creature is very stocky, and the muscles of its body are coiled under the long hair, which can make the heavily armed Morning Star sit on its back, while it can walk like a fly, jump up and down, and express its emotions by making bears in various tones. CHENXING IS A STURDY AND STURDY MALE WITH STRONG MUSCLES IN HIS LONG-TERM TRAINING, WITH A WEIGHT OF NEARLY 85KG, AND THE WEIGHT OF THE WHOLE PERSON IS CLOSE TO 200KG UNDER FULL ARMS. And Alpha 137 is a star whose gravity is slightly greater than that of the parent planet, Earth, and such a huge burden is on the woolly bear, but it treats it as if it were nothing.
The child of the hairy bear is a miniature version of the hairy bear, although the size is far from the hairy bear, and there is not a single hair, but the overall shape is no different from the hairy bear. This little guy should still be a child, and every day is to eat and sleep. When Morningstar first met this little guy, he was being besieged by a group of "big rats", and although he was outnumbered, he did not fall behind. But the two fists were finally invincible to the four hands, and under the siege, the little hairy bear was finally injured due to physical exhaustion. And the morning star, who was sitting on the branch and watching the excitement, had a sense of justice and jumped down to help the little hairy bear out of the siege. The primitive hand-to-hand combat method was quickly disintegrated under the sword and shield of Morning Star, and the little woolly bear was taken care of by Morning Star until the arrival of the hairy bear. So one man and two beasts went together.
With the escort of the hairy bear, Morning Star feels like he has become a handsome boy who goes out to the countryside, admiring the flowers, looking at the grass, and taking pictures. Along the way, I encountered a lot of unfriendly eyes, but they all gave up the attack because of the existence of the woolly bear. This made Morningstar even more interested in the stuffy bear. This big guy who is a little silly has a harmless appearance to humans and animals, and if it weren't for its huge size and two tails, it would be more like a pet dog raised by humans. But the fierce beasts that appeared one by one in this jungle were suppressed by it without exception.
After a full day of ground searching, and a large amount of useful data was collected, the land where the Morning Star was located stepped into the night. The furry bear had left Morning Star and the cub more than ten minutes earlier and had gone out foraging. After a day of recovery, the little bear jumped off its mother's back and began to play cute around the eating Morning Star, who tried to feed it with its own food, but it wrinkled its nose in disgust and looked at Morning Star with a strange gaze, as if it was very disgusted. This scene happened to be seen by the foraging woolly bear, which slowly walked behind the Morning Star, bent on all fours, crawled to the ground, spat out a crystal clear crystal from its mouth, arched its nose, and sent it to the Morning Star. Morning Star thought that he understood the meaning of the hairy bear, which was a gift from the hairy bear, and picked up the crystal and observed it, it was of excellent quality and a good energy body. This kind of crystal all over the star sector is the latest energy source for human interstellar navigation, and the current technology of human beings can stimulate the energy in the crystal through special means to provide power for ship mechas. However, the fly in the ointment is that there are high requirements for the quality of the crystals, and crystals with too many impurities will become unstable or even explode during the reaction.
The crystal given to Morning Star by the hairy bear is of a quality that completely exceeds the qualified line, and it will be a great fortune if it is brought back to human society. Morning Star, who was possessed by a wealth obsession, seemed to see a large sum of money falling from the sky and falling into his pocket, laughed and got up, turned around and hugged the head of the hairy bear, and kissed it fiercely. The hairy bear and the little hairy bear were puzzled by Morning Star's agitated behavior, and they couldn't understand why Morning Star was so happy, wasn't it just a piece of food. I didn't see Morning Star eat the crystal for a long time, and the hairy bear also lost his patience, shook his big head to push the morning star aside, opened his big mouth, rattled, bit the crystal on the ground, and arched his head to send the remaining small part to the little hairy bear, and in the continuous crunching sound, an excellent energy crystal entered the womb of the mother and son.
"Eat...... Eat...... Eat...... Eat...... Eaten!! The scene in front of him almost shocked Morning Star's jaw, and the slurred Morning Star had turned into a stammer. Such an energy crystal that can support the botanist to go back and forth between the capital star and Alpha 137 several times, such an energy crystal that can allow Tiger Roar to participate in hundreds of fierce battles, and such an energy crystal that can make a person easily live a lifetime in the capital star of the Republic were eaten by this mother and son?
"Ahhh Hairy bear, what did you do! You ruined my mansion, ruined my luxury car, ruined my bright future! Heartbroken, Morningstar was at a loss, clutching the bear's head and shaking. The hairy bear also wondered why the creature in front of him had such a big mood swing, and threw his head to the ground, letting the morning star shake.
"Hiccup!" The little hairy bear behind him burped contentedly, burrowed into the thick fluff under the hairy bear's neck, and fell asleep. Using his two big furry tails, the furry bear hugged the morning star under his belly to keep him warm, and then fell asleep as well. Only the petrified morning star was left to look up to the sky and sigh, and he was not pampered.
In the early morning of Alpha 137, the birds and flowers are like the mother planet Earth, and the sun of Stellar Alpha shines on the morning star that has not slept all night, and also wakes up the sleeping hairy bear. The hairy bear turned his head, opened his tail, saw the morning star in a daze, felt that the vitality of the morning star had not disappeared, and lay down again, ready to sleep again.
Last night's morning star, after experiencing the ups and downs of life to heaven and then to hell, returned to the indifference of the past. The reason why I didn't sleep all night was because I thought about the way to make up for the dead all night under the painful experience. The hairy bear is a magical creature, and in just ten minutes, he found that piece of pure energy crystal. This is not because of the huge reserves and excellent quality of the energy crystals on Alpha 137, although many crystal veins have been found in the exploration process of Morning Star, as far as the eye can see, there are many impurities in these crystals. Even crystals that already have a perfect structure cannot directly become a source of energy for ships. The removal of impurities from crystals is a time-consuming and laborious project, and the technology currently mastered by human beings is very limited without damaging the structure of crystals.
The piece of crystal that the hairy bear ate yesterday can already be converted into a huge amount of energy under the technology of humans, how is this huge energy stored in the relatively small body of the hairy bear, how is it transformed, and what is the use? This left Morningstar puzzled. And how the woolly bear obtained this high-quality crystal is even more difficult to deduce. After a night of thinking, Morningstar decided to put aside all the tasks at hand and prioritize figuring out how to get high-quality crystals for the stuffy bear. Even if you can't master the method, being able to get some crystals with the help of the woolly bear can be a huge credit to the scientific research team.
Rubbing the bear's soft belly, Morningstar brushed away the bear's tail that covered him. The hairy bear replied with Morning Star's comfortable chirp, turned his head, and motioned to Morning Star to continue with his big watery eyes. Although Morning Star is helpless, this guy is a cash cow now, and he has to be served well. Rubbing the belly, tickling, and combing the hair, this huge "dog" should also be the first time to receive such a service, kicking on all fours, and not getting up if you are lazy. The sleeping little bear is awakened by his mother's violent movements, and finds that Morningstar's game with his mother is very interesting, and he also lies on the ground in the same way, so that Morningstar can serve him as well. So, the morning star, who got up early, worked as a pet masseuse for two hours before the mother and son of the hairy bear got up satisfied.
The effect of the massage service was immediate, and the hairy bear easily understood Morningstar's desire to get the crystal, and with Morningstar and the little hairy bear on his back, he hurried through the jungle. Morning Star, who was sitting on the back of the hairy bear, saw the ability of the hairy bear, and carried himself up and down in the deep forest without being affected in the slightest. Morningstar wrapped his arms around the bear's neck, leaning against its back, feeling the wind in his ears, feeling that his new friend was running at a speed comparable to his own running at full speed with a tiger's roar.
