15. Retrieving energy
Hearing this, Spock asked, "Why is there no energy at this time?" ”
Rick said, "We do blame ourselves for this lack of thought. As long as the energy of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info small tree is not during the combat period, it can generally be supplied and consumed for nearly ten years, and it is even longer if it is in standby mode. While the Hatu were still around, we were on standby for a long time to prevent this from happening, just turning on the machine every few years to observe the situation. Ever since the Hatu people left the planet, we have become the only sapient beings left here. We then went back to the destroyed base, where we were lucky enough to find a usable source of energy, and then we felt we could do whatever we wanted, so we never used the standby state again. And Xiaoshu was very interested in what my father left behind, and did some research and fieldwork. It's just that I didn't expect the Hatu people to go and return, and it's too late to regret it. ”
Spock understood what he meant, and said, "You mean that there are also Hatu people in that abandoned base?" ”
"You're right, a message has been received in the communication system of the tree itself, and there are Hatu people left there."
Spock touched his chin and said, "This is a destroyed base, which means that it has lost its value as a combat base." In their current condition, it would be impossible to make any effort to reactivate it. ”
Natasha continued, "Unless their purpose is to make us feel that they have given up on it, so that they can hide the characters they really want to hide." ”
"That's right! They plan to wait until our army is gone before absconding to another galaxy, or simply start over on Earth! Spock said.
"Then we should contact Colonel Gander immediately!" Natasha said.
Spock shook his head: "No, don't forget that our traitor hasn't been found yet, and if he notifies the Hatu in time, then they may be able to escape." ”
"There's a mole in your team?" Rick asked.
Spock smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know what to say, if it wasn't for this traitor's betrayal, we wouldn't be here, and we wouldn't see you again." ”
Natasha hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Excellency, you don't mean that we should rush to that base and send a message, and then we will drag each other and buy time for Colonel Gand, right?" ”
"Half right, it's me, not us." Spock laughed.
"Your Excellency! Please don't question the duty of an adjutant! Natasha said with a flushed face.
"Major, I have no doubt about your integrity in your duties, but this is a journey from which there is no return, and we have no idea of the number of opponents, the level of armament, etc. I'm just doing my duty as a man to protect a woman. ”
Rick interjected, "I said you two can't express your feelings?" Is it a new custom of mankind to be so secretive? ”
"What are you talking about, grandpa?" Spock frowned.
"Isn't it obvious? To go is to die, so you don't want your woman to die with you, and your woman doesn't want to live alone in the world, which is exactly the same way I felt about your grandmother at the beginning. Of course, if she's pregnant with your child, that's another story, and it's necessary for us to keep innocent children out of this kind of incident, and if not, then I don't think there's anything wrong with her approach. ”
Spock couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when Rick said this, and his tongue seemed to be knotted all of a sudden: "Major, you, can you confirm that you are not pregnant?" In case ??????"
"I can, Your Excellency. Because nothing has happened to us at all. ”
"What?!" Spock's eyes widened, probably the biggest in his life.
Natasha couldn't help but smile when she looked at him, and said, "Your Excellency, you are usually really smart, but in this regard, you are ridiculously simple. I didn't expect to hide it from you. ”
"Then why is it ?????? Yes?????? That one! Spock stammered his hands and tried to hide Rick's words, forgetting the fact that he could speak the lingua franca of the Galactic Federation.
"Your Excellency, you were sleeping soundly, and I carried you to bed. In addition, I took my own blood from the bloodstains. ”
"Why? Is there any need for you to do this? ”
Natasha's face suddenly turned red: "Your Excellency, although I lied to you about this matter, but my feelings for Your Excellency are true, at that time I thought that once you eliminated the Hatu Star people, you would retire, then I would lose the reason to continue to live with you, so I came up with such an idea, I hope ??????"
"I can't take it anymore, my grandson," cried Rick from the side, "the girl has made her mind so clear, don't you know how to respond?" If you survive, you can get married and have children. ”
"Grandpa, don't make a mess." Spock complained.
Rick ignored him and said to Natasha, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I will let him marry you." By the way, what's your name? ”
"Natasha, grandpa."
"Okay, Natasha. You just go with us, and one more person will give you more strength and hope. Rick said.
"What?! Grandpa, you're going too?! Spockage said.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Could you two be more familiar with the situation inside that base than I am? Besides, if you summon troops to destroy that base, and you don't survive, where do you let me go to replenish my energy? ”
Rick's words left Spock speechless, and instead of convincing Natasha to stay, he added another entourage.
Due to the limited energy left in Rick's body to complete such a long journey, Spock had to carry it to the back of the vehicle and equip it with several airbags to prevent damage from the bumps. However, doing so will inevitably affect the speed of the vehicle, as Rick's body is heavier than he and Natasha combined.
The only thing thankful for is that Rick had been there before, and he knew exactly where the base was, and even if the motor vehicle lost some of its speed, he could still get there in six hours.
