Bai Fengyi never thought that it would be 30 years later to fly the Falcon again. He stroked it, its shell and glass stained slightly, and opened the hatch with a keyring, a strong smell of age entering his nostrils.

Sensing that someone touched the place, the system began to start, and the AR cloud display popped up one after another, and the lights began to flicker and then gradually stabilized. The tiny roar of the fusion engine vibrated his eardrums, and the next second, the spacecraft AI activated.

Are you awake? Bai Fengyi thought to himself, it was time to wake up.

It said: "Welcome, driver Bai Fengyi. It was silent for a moment and said, "The Falcon misses you so much!" ”

Bai Fengyi sniffed and said excitedly: "Old friend, I miss you too!" ”

"Explorer Bai Fengyi, are you ready?" Summer and Hurley shouted beyond the take-off safety line, relieved caretakers behind them and behind them.

Bai Fengyi turned his head and replied loudly: "Yes, I'm ready." ”

He knew that everyone who was supposed to come had come, except for Su Mo, but strangely enough, Ott and Botz hadn't come. I thought to myself, maybe there is an important task to do.

With that, he closed the hatch and started the engine to take off. All the engines are in excellent condition, and the microcontrols are still sophisticated, as if nothing has been corroded by time.

When the Falcon left the inner layer, Bai Fengyi could not hear their voices. The phrases "come on", "have a good trip" and "be sure to come back safely" are the most sincere wishes. He hoped it would be as they wished.

Bai Fengyi turned off the anti-gravity engine, and then started the Falcon's tail engine, he needed enough power to overtake the accelerating Century. He switched to AI control and left the driver's seat and walked to the aft compartment, wanting to see the front face of the behemoth behind him, or someone inside.

However, he encounters the stowaway, a robot hiding inside an escape pod, which he never expected.

"Why are you here?" Bai Fengyi didn't notice him at first, if he hadn't moved, he would have been able to get away with it.

Botz replied, "To protect you." ”

"No, it's none of your business, you shouldn't be here." Bai Fengyi turned his head and shouted at the AI: "Murphy! Please return to ...... immediately Hmmm......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Botz covered his mouth from behind and leaned into his ear and said, "Please let me walk with you, at least for now!" ”

His palm was like an impermeable eardrum, completely enveloping Bai Fengyi's mouth. This made him unable to make a sound at all, and could only make an "OK" gesture with his hands.

Believing him, Botz let go and said, "I'm sorry, I just had to." ”

"I know." Bai Fengyi took a deep breath, gasped and complained, "Your hands have a strange smell. He turned to look at him, "How did you get past the Falcon's security checks?" ”

"After you left the conference room, Ott and I went to the Falcon and used his wits to turn off the security checks."

"What wisdom?" Bai Fengyi asked as he walked over to the console, where he wanted to check the integrity of the ship's safe mode.

Botz tapped his silicone head with his finger and answered nothing. He closed the tail hatch and walked straight to him.

Bai Fengyi looked at the inspection results, and the AR cloud display showed that there was a system disorder half an hour ago, but there was no record of the reason on it. He shook his head and said, "Otterby, you still want to be here." ”

Botz bowed, "Yes." Ott and I are friends and colleagues, and we are robots. ”

"That's why he's helping you?"

"Not exactly."

Bai Fengyi sat in the main pilot, and he let Botz sit in the co-pilot. He thought to himself: maybe only in robots can feelings become pure and transparent, which is precisely the shortcomings of humans and the weaknesses of all living beings.

After about 5 minutes, they arrived at the Burlelin.

Outside of its bottom shackle deck and inner liners, several caretakers are methodically using the transport plane to assemble the outer shell and parts of the space flywheel.

The Falcon slowly landed on the bottom parking deck, and after the engine was turned off, Bai Fengyi and Bots came out one by one. If he hadn't guessed wrong, he would have been the first search and rescue man to arrive here, but unfortunately, there were people who were faster than him.

On Tarmac 15 was a ship much smaller than the Falcon, flanked by several conversing caretakers, whose pilot was impossible to tell from the costume.

They looked at Bai Fengyi and Botz together.

When the Falcon was turned off, two people hurried over, and the person running in front shouted, "Explorer Bai Fengyi, welcome to the Blelin." ”

When they all stopped, one of the women held out her hand and said, "Hello, Explorer Bai Fengyi." I'm a Star Ring search and rescuer, and my name is Annie. ”

Bai Fengyi shook hands with her and said, "Anne, you are the first person to arrive here. ”

"Nope." Anne and the caretaker looked at each other, covered their mouths and smiled, "Ding Teng is the fastest, he is on this starship." ”

Botts greeted, "Hello, I'm the Guardian of the Century, and my name is Bots. ”

The two said in unison, "Hello, Bots." ”

"Oh...... Hello, Tinten. Bai Fengyi stretched out his hand, and the other party quickly catered to him and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry." He pointed to the outside of the inner layer and invited, "Please follow me on a tour of the soon-to-be-completed 'Rescuer' space flywheel." ”

After saying that, he took the first step, and the rest of the people followed him.

Botz asked Tinten, "May I ask it to be called the Savior?" ”

"That's right, the Blelin and the Star Ring unanimously decided to call it the Savior." Ding Teng replied to him, looked at Bai Fengyi again, and said, "If there is no problem, he will be the commander." ”

"What?" Bai Fengyi turned his head when he heard this: "What should I do?" ”

"Lead your search and rescue team." He said heavily, "You shouldn't have participated in the stranding. ”

"That would be unfair to the Minutemen."

Tinten stopped, he looked up at the savior who was close at hand, and the rest of them did the same.

The Rescuer Flywheel resembles a doughnut with 6 disc-shaped shield matrix plates on its leading surface, which are the most massive parts that can be discarded as kinetic energy if necessary. But at that time, the search and rescue personnel were more than lucky.

"After lunch, we're going to go," Tinten said. ”

"What about the other search and rescue personnel?" Bai Fengyi looked at the deck where there were not a few spaceships docked, and couldn't help but worry. He wondered, will the remaining 3 rescuers come? Are they also experiencing some inescapable problems internally?

"The Chariot Warden is about to arrive on the left parking deck." The shutdown AI suddenly prompted, which made Bai Fengyi's worry dissipate instantly.

Tinten called for a hovertruck, and he was going to take them quickly to the left parking deck.

The closer Bai Fengyi got there, the more excited he felt.

The carrier slowly stopped, and at this moment, a spaceship suddenly appeared from the side of the inner layer guardrail. It turned off its tail engines, then slid into the parking deck, propelled itself only by its anti-gravity engines, and finally landed.

The four people walked to the safe take-off line, and Bai Fengyi asked Ding Teng, "Who is he?" ”

"Chariot Warden - Lynn." Tinten read the word "Lin" very vigorously, and he actually wanted to emphasize it again, but they all nodded and waited for her to get off the boat.

Lynn was the last person to arrive on the Burlelin at noon. After Bai Fengyi and the others finished lunch, about half an hour before the rescuer took off, the other two hurried over. There was not much joy on their faces, and they were full of reluctance and sorrow. However, Bai Fengyi, as the commander, still greeted them warmly and asked for their names one by one.

10 minutes before the Rescuer takes off. Bai Fengyi counted all the search and rescue personnel, and he decided to turn the operation team into a team, with himself as the captain and the rest as team members. As Bai Fengyi prepared to dock with the Rescuer, he asked Bots for his opinion one last time, and he was still willing to stay by his side, in his words: "I'm here to protect you." ”

The docking of the ship is complete, and the Rescuer will take off in 5 minutes.

Bai Fengyi synchronized the systems of 4 ships of different sizes, and he needed a system that could control these "power" at the same time, and compared to the AI of each spaceship, his Falcon AI was superior. He called the Falcon's AI "Murphy", the only good name he had come up with for 3 months.

One minute before takeoff, the Rescuer began to spin, simulating gravity.

When gravity reached 1G, and when all ship systems were under Murphy's control, the Rescuer started its engines and left.
