Chapter 444: Interstellar Scavengers
"Okay, I'll go get ready. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
For this decision, the scientific commander Don Quixote was still a little apprehensive.
"Don't worry, Don Quixote." Yuan Haochen smiled and comforted him, "Human civilization and dark energy civilization have a deep relationship, this is a fact. If they are against us, even if we are in the Sunrise system, we will not be immune. ā
At this moment, Yuan Haochen remembered those primordial lives of Europa that were placed on alien planets.
Although the universe is dark, it is not cold everywhere, and there will always be some warm places.
Three days later, a command ship and five frigates formed a leanest-down flight unit and flew towards the location of the Dark Civilization Observatory, which was a red dwarf five light-years away.
......
In the "hopeful" galaxy far from the Milky Way.
On the edge of a desolate wild lake, on the messy turf, sat two young men, one sturdy, the other slightly emaciated.
In the weeds between the two of them, a cylindrical metal container and a pile of snacks were placed.
"How's this wine?" Nalandal's large hands slammed the metal keg into a loud bang.
"Spicy!!"
Nalan Yu picked up the cup in his hand, drank it all, and then grabbed a handful of dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"It's tasteless!" Nalandar also took a sip and said quite proudly, "This wine is a treasure found in the ruins of ancient civilizations in the Asteroid Belt of Graddy, and it is very valuable, and I would never be willing to take it out if it were not for the sake of soothing your wounded heart." ā
"The ...... found in the ruins of ancient civilizations" Nalan Yu couldn't help but glance at the wine barrel, "Thousands of years of wine, can you still drink it?" ā
"Tut-tut, what do you remember in your head!" Nalandar patted the back of Nalan Yu's head, his face full of incredulity, "This wine is very high." Besides, with the science and technology of ancient civilizations far superior to today's, why is it difficult to store some fine wine? ā
Nalan Yu really doesn't remember anything about his past. During this period of time after waking up from a coma, Nalan Yu gradually learned about this world from the introduction of others.
"Alright, look at your dejected appearance. Isn't it just genetic testing? If you can't join Starfleet, it's a big deal to be an interstellar explorer with me, and you can also travel in space! ā
Nalandar looked at Nalan Yu, whose eyes were a little confused, and said loudly.
Just half a day ago, Nalan Yu had just participated in the selection test for Starfleet in the Hope Star System. In this dilapidated post-tech era, it's an honor to be able to join Starfleet. Of course, it is not easy to become a scientist or soldier in Starfleet, in addition to a series of selection exams, the first hurdle is genetic testing.
"Lost in spirit?" Nalan Yu was stunned, "No, I'm just thinking about things." ā
Although Nalan Yu also wanted to join Starfleet, the failure of the genetic test did not affect him much. Come to think of it, a person who can't even remember his last name has too many things to worry about, and he can be counted as old if he failed the genetic test.
"Do you remember the old days!?" Nalandal's eyes lit up and he asked.
"No, I'm thinking about ancient civilizations."
"I'll go, your brain is spinning too slowly, we're already talking about the next topic, okay!" Nalandar complained, "However, your genetic test results are really terrifying, and you should be a real strange person!" ā
Nalandar is right, this time Nalanda's genetic test did set a record, 32 points!!
How to say it, the genetic test has a score of 100 out of 100, and if you pass with 80 points, you can participate in the next round of tests in Starfleet. Nalandar had also tested it before, scoring 75 and unfortunately not being selected. And 32 points has broken the record for the lowest score ever. To put it bluntly, such a score is not far from intellectual retardation.
"Makes you laugh." Nalan Yu replied without sadness or joy.
"Admire! You can think about it! ā
The implication of Nalandal's words is that if he were replaced, he would learn that his genetic test score was almost the same as that of his retarded, and he would definitely have no love, so he would have committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake at this moment.
"What's going on with the Star Explorers?" Nalan Yu then asked.
"Interstellar explorer, that's a good name. To put it mildly and cruelly, it is [Interstellar Scavengers]. Nalandar first teased, and then recounted the past with a serious face, "The cosmic cataclysm 3,000 years ago destroyed the foundation of the entire star field, and the originally prosperous civilized world has since fallen apart and ceased to exist. Natural disasters and more than 2,000 years of continuous war have taken their toll on everyone......"
"It was only in recent centuries that several powerful forces finally unified their respective star systems and maintained a delicate balance in the flames of war, which brought a glimmer of hope for the redevelopment and recovery of civilization. Interstellar scavengers, as the word suggests, are a group of space adventurers who love the stars of the universe but failed to join Starfleet as they wished. ā
"Is it like you?" Nalan Yu asked rhetorically.
"Yes, we love the sea of stars, explore the scientific relics of ancient civilizations in various places, discover valuable items and technical materials, and more importantly, to interpret the history of ancient civilizations that almost died out in natural and man-made disasters!"
Speaking of which, Nalandar looked full of ambition, high spirits, and high spirits!
"Sounds pretty good!" Nalan Yu nodded and praised.
"Of course!"
"Can I become an interstellar scavenger too?" Nalan Yu asked.
"That's natural, the threshold for interstellar scavengers is very low, as long as you are a healthy and normal person, you can ......" Nalandar said halfway through and suddenly hesitated, "Okay, 32 points is indeed a bit exaggerated, but as long as you are willing to work hard, there will still be interstellar expeditions that will want you." ā
"If I dare not work hard, will these 32 points be a laughing stock for my life!" Nalan Yu chuckled.
"That's it, that's it." Nalandar quickly took out a glass of wine from the metal wine barrel and handed it to Nalan Yu, "One more glass, the matter of your joining the interstellar expedition will be wrapped up in me, and I will cover you in the future!" ā
"Then I'll have to rely on you for the rest of my life!" Nalan Yu took the wine glass and drank it all again, "Hot!" ā
"Expensive! This wine is precious! How can you drink like this! Nalandar hurriedly threw over a bag of jerky, "Eat more meat and keep your IQ!" ā
Nalan Yu reflexively grabbed the flying jerky, grabbed a handful and sent it to his mouth.
"Nalandal, you've been on adventures somewhere. Have you ever been in space? ā
"Of course I did!" Naradar proudly slapped the barrel again, "Brother, I brought it back from the ruins of an ancient civilization in the Graddy asteroid belt. ā
"Awesome!" Nalan Yu praised him very much, and then asked, "Then have you ever flown out of the Hope Galaxy?" ā
"This ......," Naradar rolled his eyes, "there will be a chance in the future!" ā
The farthest he'd ever traveled was the Graddy asteroid belt, far from flying out of the Hope Galaxy.
In fact, with the strength of each expedition, it takes a lot of imagination and courage to fly out of the Hope Galaxy.
Only the government's starfleets in the entire Hope system have a small number of starfleets, and these starships are non-renewable resources found in the ruins of ancient civilizations.
Because of this, after the major powers have unified their respective star systems, they cannot further engage in frequent cross-galaxy wars. Because, until the ability to build and manufacture interstellar spaceships is regained, these precious spaceships that have been passed down for thousands of years will be destroyed one by one.
Such a loss is something that none of the major forces can afford. Fortunately, the relatively peaceful era of the star field was able to come sooner.
PS: I went out for work today and came back late, so there is only one shift, please be considerate. Thank you for your continued support.
