"How old are you?" Zhien thought for a long time and used a very cliché opening statement.

"Sixteen." Liuzi replied quickly, and then asked, "What about you?" ”

"I ......" Zhien hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to answer a fake one, because she was one year younger than Liuzi, a child's nature, she felt that if she was one year younger than Liuzi, as if she was a head shorter, the chat would not be advantageous. But after thinking about it, Liuzi didn't lie and deceive people, if she did, she seemed to be a head shorter, and snorted: "Fifteen." ”

"Oh." Liuzi nodded, remembering this information, he didn't pretend to be his brother with a shy face as Zhien thought, which made Zhien a little surprised, looked at him, and felt a little more good in his heart.

"I'm asking again," Ji-eun thought for a moment and said, "I've always wondered why you want to be a cleaner, you can use robots for this kind of thing, what age is it?" ”

Liuzi pursed his lips and said, "To save energy." ”

"Nonsense, how much can this save, I think they are bullying you."

Liuzi shook his head and said, "No, it's not just me, everyone here is working, and the robot uses very little, because it saves energy." Professor Jiang said that in five years, we will have enough fuel to go back to Mars. ”

Zhien raised his eyebrows: "Really? ”

Liuzi nodded affirmatively, obviously convinced of this: "Professor Jiang is a rigorous person, he will not lie. ”

"Speak as if he's great." Zhien muttered, and suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at Liuzi and asked, "Is this Professor Jiang you are talking about, is it called Jiang Jianxue?" ”

Liuzi was very surprised: "Do you know Professor Jiang? ”

"It's really him," Zhi'en pouted again, and said, "Who was I at the time, he, he, heh,"

Seeing Zhi'en's obvious disdainful expression, Liuzi was a little unhappy. Although Jiang Jianxue treated him badly, after all, there was a reason for it, and it was the grievance of the previous generation. Jiang Jianxue's efforts for the return of the Kirin ship over the years and the hard work of teaching students are all in his eyes. In his heart, Jiang Jianxue is a person worthy of admiration, so Zhien's attitude makes him a little unhappy.

Zhien noticed the change in his expression and said, "I have a reason. ”

Rokuko looked at her, waiting for her explanation.

Zhien said: "My grandfather told me that Jiang Jianxue is a person, although he is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person, and his character is really not good." My grandfather said that he was a typical person who was more ambitious than capable, and was particularly jealous of his ability. If anyone is better than him, he will hold a grudge in his heart and try to find ways to stumble. My grandfather and he were classmates, and they applied together to be Academician Zhao Hongbin's scientific assistant, because there was only one place, and he was worried that my grandfather would not be able to compete, so he secretly threw away my grandfather's application form when he registered. ”

Liuzi was dumbfounded when he heard it, if it weren't for Zhi'en's words, it really sounded like there was something going on, and he would have interrupted her. However, he still couldn't believe that Professor Jiang had done such a thing when he was young, and couldn't help but say, "This is also your grandfather's words, I believe that Professor Jiang is not that kind of person." ”

Zhien heard the sixth son say this, got angry, and said, "Why is he not, my grandfather also said something." He has a junior brother, who is a very good soldier and a very good scientist. Just because it is said that the elders of this junior brother's family are old friends with Academician Zhao Hongbin, and Academician Zhao Hongbin has no children, so he intends to accept him as a closed disciple and pass on all the research results to him. Jiang Jianxue became jealous and spread rumors that he was having an affair, which resulted in a divorce. What a lack of virtue, when they divorced, their children were only nine months and three days. ”

Liuzi frowned when he heard this, he was a little convinced now. Zhien said too well, if he made up nonsense, he probably wouldn't be able to make up so many details, and the children came out for nine months and three days when they divorced, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Seeing that Liuzi didn't refute, Zhien felt that he had won, and proudly pursued with victory: "Before coming out, my grandfather also said that if you encounter this old thing, you must be more careful, he has long coveted my grandfather's research, and if he sees me, he will arrest me and slice me." ”

"It's not going to be like this," Liuzi muttered quietly, he didn't believe that Jiang Jianxue would do such a thing, even if what Zhien said was true, Jiang Jianxue's character was problematic, but he wouldn't be cruel enough to slice people for research. Human experimentation was banned hundreds of years ago, how is it possible.

"Believe it or not." Zhien is too lazy to entangle these with Liuzi, and the matter about Jiang Jianxue is correct, which is equivalent to confirming that she is not looking for the wrong place, and she is in a little happy mood, so she doesn't plan to worry about Liuzi. She glanced at Liuzi's face, felt that the time was almost up, and said, "Hey, let me ask you, why are you an orphan?" My grandfather said that when the Four Elephants Fleet was selected, people with family members came with their families. You're sixteen years old...... Probably born before departure, right? Mom and Dad will definitely be together. ”

The sixth son looked at Zhien and said, "You answer this question first." ”

"Me?" Zhi'en's expression was unnatural for a moment, but when she asked this question, she also thought that the sixth son would ask her back, so she replied indifferently: "I was born after the fleet departed, and I heard my grandfather say that when there was a rebellion, my parents died in the melee. ”

"A rebellion? On a ship? "Liuzi was confused.

"Hmm." Zhien nodded and said, "My grandfather told me that the Four Elephants Fleet set off from the Mars base back then, and the mission was to detect whether there was any helium-3 element or substitute that could be mined in the asteroid belt, but the main mission of each ship was different. You are a Kirin here, a comprehensive main ship. Our ship is called the Blue Dragon, a scientific exploration and experimental ship, and my grandfather is the captain and chief scientist Lee Byung-chul, and the deputy captain is Koji Watanabe. My grandfather was a pure scientist, and every day he didn't do anything other than experiments, and Koji Watanabe was in charge of specific affairs. My grandfather also trusted him, and left everything to him to do, and never doubted him. But who knew that this person secretly downloaded the experimental data and plotted against him! When my grandfather found out, he still didn't admit it, and in turn, my grandfather slandered him. He was in real power at the time, and the military attaché of the fleet was also one of his men, and he started a rebellion, in which my father and mother died, and hundreds of them died. Fortunately, he didn't have the control authority of the science experiment module, and my grandfather saw that he couldn't control the situation, so he activated the emergency procedure and ejected the science experiment module, and we drifted to an asteroid with no star map marking, and we have been until now. ”

Zhi'en sighed and continued, "We managed to survive, and we couldn't contact the other fleets, let alone the Mars base. This time I came out to take a gamble, if I can't get in touch again......" she didn't continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

Liuzi can understand Zhi'en's feelings very well, because the situation on the Kirin ship's side is similar. Isn't it the same thing that Jiang Jianxue has been doing for so many years, the difference is that the situation here is a little better, there has been no rebellion, and everyone has basically survived.

Liuzi looked at Zhien, thought for a while, and asked, "You guys...... Has it all become like this? ”

Zhien glanced at him and said, "I thought you were really not curious, but did you ask?" ”

The sixth son smiled innocently, they were all teenagers, how could he not be curious. He didn't ask before because he felt that he was not familiar with Zhi'en, and it was a bit rude to inquire about this, but now that the two of them have talked so much, he feels that he should be able to ask.

"Of course not." Zhi'en explained, "Only we came out to contact this group of people who became like me, a total of ten people. The destination coordinates of four of them are the established coordinate points of the other ships of the Four Elephants fleet, and the remaining six are in the direction of Mars. Zhien smiled sadly and said, "To put it bluntly, we are the death squad...... her eyes were a little red, and said, "I don't know what happened to them now." ”

Liuzi also sighed, how vast the vast sea of stars is, four little people less than twenty centimeters, drifting alone, just for a vague possibility, this probability is lower than looking for a needle in a haystack, infinitely close to zero. But they still set out bravely, and such courage is not something that everyone can have.

"Can you ever change back?" After a moment of silence, Liuzi asked again.

"It's irreversible." Zhien shook her head, pretending to be relaxed: "It doesn't matter, I think it's good to be like this now, eat less, dress ...... sparingly" She suddenly fell silent, tilted her head to prevent tears from falling, sniffed and continued: "Anyway, it's good to complete the task, at least I succeeded, and I can save many people." ”
