Chapter 14: The ...... of Names Finally Appears
A distant alien visitor, the initial name of Xinghai Lanxiu.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Much later, revisiting our first encounter, we still don't know the meaning of the topic we talked about that day......
……
"Are you an intelligent being?"
"Ah...... Ha? Originally, he was shocked by the unknown object that suddenly appeared on his console, but he was suddenly asked a strange question, and even Xiao Cheng's thinking suddenly came to a halt, and he responded a little blankly.
This guy is still quite interesting, but the ability to visually and logically think needs to be strengthened. After silently complaining in his heart, his consciousness did not feel impatient, but patiently continued to control the small ball of light to shake back and forth in front of the other party a few times, until Xiao Cheng recovered from the shock, and then asked again: "That...... Excuse me, are you an intelligent being? ”
"Forehead......" After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Cheng nodded subconsciously, "Yes...... yes, theoretically I'm supposed to be a sapient being......"
After answering, Xiao Cheng realized what he had just said, and suddenly couldn't help but despise his performance, do you still need to hesitate before you can answer in such an uncertain tone!
Unlike Xiao Cheng, who was full of entanglement, the consciousness that got a satisfactory answer cheered in his heart, and sure enough, it was an intelligent creature from other galaxies, and it seemed that his luck this time was really good.
As a result, the entire interior of the spacecraft fell into a short period of cold field under the diametrically opposite moods of both sides......
"That ......" Xiao Cheng looked at the small ball of light floating in front of him for a long time, and finally affirmed that this was not an illusion caused by his excessive mental stimulation, and at the same time tried to make himself as calm as possible glanced at the giant flying object outside the porthole that glowed orange and red, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he felt very powerful, and controlled himself to show a very unnatural smile, "May I ask if this is the territory of your civilization......
Alien! These three big words exploded like a nuclear bomb in Xiao Cheng's heart, even if he came with such a faint expectation, but he really didn't believe in his heart that he could really find the existence of aliens, but whether it was this white ball of light with a real feeling, or the language that the other party could be proficient in as soon as he opened his mouth, it proved that the eight achievements of this star system were the territory of alien civilizations...... And the other party looks like the level of technology is much higher than his home planet.
A civilization that has never been seen before! God knows what their attitude is towards extraterrestrial visitors, if they encounter a malicious civilization, it is light to bomb you directly or human trafficking, maybe they will be directly dissected and studied, and they will be made into specimens for thousands of 800 years!
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying Xiao Cheng even had an urge to turn around and leave here immediately, but the reason in his heart forcibly stopped him from doing so...... The nova won't last long, and it's already good luck to meet a civilization that can communicate in the vast sea of stars, so it's better to gamble on it!
As everyone knows, at this time, the consciousness of the first contact with alien creatures is also very complicated like him, how to answer this question? After struggling for a long time, consciousness reluctantly gave an ambiguous answer: "Guests from afar from the aliens, you are welcome here." ”
Something strange...... Although he is not a politician or a lawyer, this kind of abrupt evasion of the topic is not like the words of a diplomat of a high-level interstellar civilization, but like a child who is not in the deep world trying to change the topic...... Well, maybe you should find a chance to test it.
Xiao Cheng thought about it and looked at the small white light cluster, and his inquiring eyes made his consciousness move to the side a little uncomfortably, this action made Xiao Cheng a little tempted to reach out and touch the small light cluster...... But he still tried to restrain himself, otherwise if this was a thing that exploded when touched, who would he cry to?
"You civilized people...... Do they all look like this? Although it didn't feel good, Xiao Cheng still stretched out his finger and asked Xiao Guangtuan.
"I always feel like you're thinking about something very rude......" Even though Xiao Guangtuan didn't have eyes, Xiao Cheng still felt that he was swept by a sharp gaze, "Guest, this is just a virtual projection." ”
"What, I thought it was the main ......" Xiao Cheng's words froze in place only halfway through, because the small light cluster that was originally just faintly flickering and floating was like a little cat that exploded in an instant, and the brightness suddenly increased more than ten times, and before he could reach out to block it, it flew towards him at a super fast speed, directly crashing into his chest......
Are you going to die...... Are you going to die...... Can't you think that the final cause of death was actually being killed by something unknown due to laughing at aliens? This is also an earth-shattering way to die......
Standing in place in a daze, feeling the faint paralysis in his chest as if he was in contact with static electricity, Xiao Cheng's heart was full of thoughts, feeling that the marquee of his life had turned in the past, and he saw a certain girl of death who had deserted from work on the Santu River dozing off......
"Hey, you're awake! I've never heard of such a fragile creature, it can't really be killed by a holographic projection, right? The fragmented thoughts of consciousness finally succeeded in bringing the somewhat frightened Xiao Cheng back to reality, he subconsciously looked down at his intact chest, and then turned around suddenly to see a small light cluster that penetrated his body floating in the air, and then revealed the expression of the rest of his life: "It's so dangerous, I thought I was going to be killed by aliens with an unknown weapon......"
"Are ordinary creatures so slow?" Sighing slightly, the consciousness felt that the guy in front of him should not cause any harm, and he was sure that he would suppress the other party by force, so he simply confessed straight to the point, "Alien creature, this is the astral consciousness of this star system, what is the purpose of your coming here?" ”
"Astral consciousness?"
Obviously, a star has forgotten how much of an abstract thing it would be for ordinary civilization to forget its existence......
……
“…… I think I kind of get what you mean. Worthy of being selected as an elite space pilot for the escape spaceship mission, Xiao Cheng's psychological quality is actually quite good, and after some complicated explanations of consciousness, he quickly calmed down, "In this way, there is no perfect civilization race in this star system at all, not even ordinary creatures, and you are some kind of special life form born in this star?" ”
"Well, it's not exactly the same thing, but it's not wrong if you understand it that way." After thinking about it for a while, the consciousness affirmed this view.
Is that so...... Xiao Cheng fell into deep thought, it turned out that there was no alien high-tech civilization here at all, on the contrary, there was only a lonely little guy...... Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for his consciousness, although he had nowhere to go now, the astral consciousness in front of him had been lonely since his birth, and even his closest neighbor was many light years away.
"If it was consciously controlled, it would be easy to explain that there were no periodic anomalous changes in the brightness of the stars here before, but ......" Xiao Cheng suddenly thought of something again, and frowned suspiciously, "I have detected strange tiny radiation sources and ...... that appeared here before"
He silently turned his head to look at the planetary maker who was quietly floating outside the window, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "What's the matter with this weird big guy in front of you?" ”
"This~" Speaking of this, even the consciousness couldn't help but become proud, and the small light group floated from side to side proudly, "This is my planetary manufacturing plan!" ”
"What...... What's the plan? It seemed that he had heard a very terrible term, and Xiao Cheng almost thought that his ears had heard it wrong.
"Well, to put it simply......" Even if it was a little immature, it was obvious that the tone of consciousness became more serious, "If it were you, would you feel lonely after so many years of being alone here?" ”
“…… Of course. Xiao Cheng nodded without hesitation.
"So......" the appearance of the small light cluster suddenly became colorful, and his tone became lighter, "I want to create a super civilization race that belongs to this star system!" Make this a vibrant world! But to accomplish all this, at least those fragmentary asteroids must be pieced together into a real planet, forming a planetary system that is completely suitable for the existence of ordinary life! ”
Listening to the arrogant words of consciousness, Xiao Cheng fell silent again, judging from the current distribution of stars in this star system, this child-like innocent idea has actually been insisted on by it, and has it really succeeded?
"You're right!" Looking at the young man's contemplative demeanor, the little ball of light grinned, "You are the first witness of this star system project!" ”
"Really?" Xiao Cheng suddenly smiled, and suddenly made up his mind in his heart, looking at the floating small light cluster, "Then may I ask, do I have this honor...... How about being involved in this great project? ”
"Huh...... Huh? The consciousness was stunned, Xiao Cheng's request was not in its plan at all! But...... The consciousness remembered the large fragments of technical information in the database, and if there were intelligent beings willing to help, it would probably be of great help......
"Well, you're welcome to help...... "Thinking of many problems that he couldn't solve, his consciousness still agreed, "But you are definitely not allowed to do anything unfavorable, otherwise don't blame me." ”
"Thank you then." Xiao Cheng's smile finally became cheerful, and he found that after communicating with this stellar consciousness, he unconsciously forgot the heavy sadness......
"My name is Xiao Cheng." Exhaling softly, Xiao Cheng sat down on the chair, "So, what should I call you?" The master of this galaxy......"
The consciousness of "this ......" hesitated for a while, and suddenly made a suggestion that surprised the young man, "You can come and help me come up with a name!" ”
"Shall I come up with a name?" Xiao Cheng repeated it in surprise, looking at the small ball of light in front of him, and suddenly muttered a little strangely, "I think you should be a girl......
"Huh?" Consciousness was slightly stunned.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Xiao Cheng turned his head to look at the charming starry sky outside the window and said, "But in terms of name, it is really better to be more neutral." Well, since you're a star...... Then the surname should simply be 'star', and the first name ......."
The young man looked at the little light group, and at that moment, the concentration and seriousness in his eyes were deeply reflected in the memory bank of the little light group......
"Let's call Xinglan!"
