When Zhuang Yan saw a 73-meter-tall humanoid aerospace fighter at the 2,000-meter-deep underground debugging base, he was stuck to the bulletproof glass wall, eager to take a closer look.

It was the first time he had seen an airplane standing on two feet. If he wasn't mentally prepared, he wouldn't have recognized it as an aerospace fighter at all.

The main colors of the aerospace fighter are red and white, and the wings are folded back after the transformation, except for the two vertical tails that stand on the shoulders, while exposing the fusion engine under the shoulder blades as much as possible.

After exposing the humanoid, the surface design of the body is neat and crisp, the armor is thinner than the Greek battle skirt, the eye-catching purple back is like a frog that has peeled off the skin, the spine is exposed, the "muscles" are smooth, and the muscle-like structure composed of power transmission fibers can accurately fine-tune the subtle movements of the body.

The "organism" of this humanoid form can hardly be explained by "mechanical body", but is more inclined to "organism", which coincides with the nature worship in Zhuang Yan's heart, and the carapace on its body does not look like it is intentionally laid, but more like the remnants of evolution to a minimalist state, which not only protects the key core with just the right amount of precision, but also gives room for the smooth and smooth tendon group to play.

Its head is flexible and elegant, its arms are low and slender, its waist is slender and perfect, and its lower limbs have the curve of cheetah's legs, which combines the beauty and superiority of living beings.

Zhuang Yan had begun to revel in the image of this perfect body bringing the wildness of nature into the vast darkness of the universe, he imagined it moving and leaping with agility in the asteroid belt, imagining it exerting the power of every strand of muscle to the fullest, dodging deadly artillery fire, and dancing magnificently on the fingertips of death.

There was no need for superfluous persuasion, when ruthless technology and steel fused to become a natural spirit under the advanced design, Zhuang Yan knew that he had to know more, he wanted to know everything about this body.

It's like he's going to know everything about Senhime.

He turned his head to Song Dan and said crisply, "Tell me everything you know." ”

Song Dan was very satisfied with Zhuang Yan's expression, she put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, and said leisurely: "I said it, we need Zhan Ji to be the driver, and you are the driver's special training coach and maintenance technician." ”

Zhuang Yan said: "You know everything, I don't know anything, that's not called transparency, it's called dialysis." ”

Song Dan sneered and smiled, and when he raised his head, he bit his lip and said, "What do you want to know?" When she asked this, Song Dan tilted her head and looked at Zhuang Yan with interest, and under her short hair, the shabby earrings that Zhuang Yan gave her were faintly visible.

Zhuang Yan hesitated for a moment, and then he suppressed his vigorous curiosity, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and asked a question that he would not have a chance to ask in the future:

"How many drivers have died?"

Song Danqiao's face turned white, as if the target was hit by the red heart, the whole person shook a little, and then turned his head to look at the air and space fighter in the empty tarmac, and uncomfortably "snapped" the ballpoint pen in his pocket, and replied: "I said that the human pilot is not qualified." Many people can't even pass the eleven-fold gravitational acceleration test, and of course they won't be allowed to enter the body for actual measurement. ”

Zhuang Yan knew that he couldn't ask.

He felt that Song Dan had changed. It's no longer the innocent girl in the aerospace university who walks on the balance beam with her arms stretched out and her head bowed on the road.

Zhuang Yan has always felt that Song Dan's mystery is the beauty that wants to be revealed. Until now, seeing Song Dan concealing the data, he felt for the first time that the sense of mystery had become less mysterious.

He looked at Song Dan and said, "Humanoid fighters and flying supersonic fighters are two different things. When a sonic fighter accelerates, the human body is subjected to the blood overweight caused by the acceleration, which can be overcome by heart muscle exercises and oxygen masks. But humanoid fighters? This 70-meter-high thing, running with a fusion engine, the driver's vertical displacement is at least 50 meters, and the driver's movement trajectory when the body is running is like a bungee jumping video x16 times accelerated playback. And that's not counting parallel acceleration! If you participate in the space war even more, it is basically equivalent to putting people into a centrifuge with 3,000 revolutions per minute! Can you tell me why someone has to sit in it? ”

Before Song Dan could squeak, Zhuang Yan spread his hands and hummed: "By the way, where did the fusion engine come from?" Half a year ago, the rocket was sent to the sky with chemical fuels that were more expensive than money, and the moon landing was carefully calculated, and the fusion engine for interstellar flight was conjured in the blink of an eye, did you charge God with money? ”

Song Dan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Zhuang Yan continued: "Also, why hide it from the World Ocean Security Organization? If you don't make this clear, I won't work. ”

Song Dan stomped his feet and shouted, "You still don't let people talk!" ”

Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes at the exquisite aerospace fighter, bit the pen in his mouth, and said: "Say, if you want transparent information, then start with you and me." Biting the pen is his habit of tolerating smoking, and Song Dan is annoyed by the smell of smoking, so when he is with Song Dan, he is used to biting the pen cap, and he can restrain himself from smoking by biting things.

Song Dan sat down on the chair side by side, thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Ten years ago, my country observed the existence of moving celestial bodies near Pluto, and suspected that it was a trace of extraterrestrial civilization, so it launched a probe. But the probe is gone. It was not until three years ago that China's extraterrestrial space station received a self-encrypting signal that it learned that the probe had been captured by an extraterrestrial civilization, but it was abandoned in the orbit of Pluto. And this string of self-encrypting signals is not from an extraterrestrial civilization, but from a certain person. When he said this, Song Dan looked at the heroic and upright aerospace body with admiration, and his pretty face was full of admiration and admiration.

Zhuang Yan read this expression on Song Dan's face for the first time.

"Nearly 28 gigabytes of ciphers have been stored on the space station, which are gradually being deciphered. And the first deciphered passages give us an idea of the ins and outs. It turns out that there are countless parallel universes in this place, and each parallel universe has more or less similar Earth, you and me. Therefore, when the parallel universe connection device was developed, those civilizations with the ability to travel through parallel universes began to travel through a large number of parallel universes with high similarity, find their own race in the parallel universe, and establish a powerful cross-universe union with them. And the fleeting moving object we observed near Pluto ten years ago was the Far Earth Fleet that used the Parallel Universe Nexus to form an alliance. Song Dan recounted excitedly.

Zhuang Yan didn't know who Song Dan's admiration was given to, it looked like he was looking at the air and space fighters on the tarmac, but Zhuang Yan definitely didn't believe that Song Dan would admire and admire a fighter.

Song Dan is a staunch adherent of instrumentalism, no matter how perfect the aerospace fighter is, in her eyes it is just the crystallization of steel, and she will never have an almost emotional appreciation for the design of the aerospace fighter like Zhuang Yan.

Song Dan brushed the hair from his ears, revealing abrupt earrings, and continued: "And the Far Realm Earth Fleet, which is far more advanced than us, immediately realized that we are still in the primitive pre-information age, and the constructiveness of their trans-universe union is about zero, in order to save the energy of the cosmic connection device, they decided to make the next leap immediately to find more powerful allies. We were about to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and at this time, there was a person in the Far Earth Fleet who noticed the probe launched by our country, and he noticed the national flag on the probe. ”

Even though Zhuang Yan kept looking at her, Song Dan was still immersed in his surging heart, telling an exciting story:

"That man captured the probe before the fleet jumped, and at a frequency that we could identify, emitted this piece of information that he could. Then he left. It's just a gesture for him, but you can't imagine how much super technology we dream of in the 28G of data he sent to the space station! Can you imagine what a technological explosion our country will have with those complicated concepts and those magnificent laws? Compared to this, the industrial rise of the Victorian era was just a ridiculous playhouse! He left behind the essence of science, 'Let you take a little less detours', he left a message, but the meaning of it cannot be written even by exhausting the pen and ink of a historian! Song Dan's heart was surging, and he finally turned his head to look at Zhuang Yan, looking forward to him sharing his pride and joy.

Zhuang Yan laughed for a second, then took the pen from between his teeth and said, "So you have to hide it from the World Ocean Security Organization." I understand. ”

"Yes!" Song Dan clenched his fists excitedly, relieved that Zhuang Yan was clear at a glance, "That person said in the message: 'When I saw the national flag, I realized that the earth was still in the era of national borders, and a unified world government had not yet been formed. I am reminded of the detours and the price my civilization has taken in completing this difficult but vital step. I hope these little gifts will save you from a few detours. If I were to choose the object of my gift, I would choose you, the homeland. ’”

Song Dan is like a devout believer expounding on the miracle of the Lord's creation, and when he repeats this passage, the whole person is almost "holy" and cultivated into a human form.

Zhuang Yan had the urge to smoke. He smiled and showed Song Dan, then lowered his head and turned the pen and said, "What he did was right." Pick a country, make its technology explode, and quickly unify the world. If the information is released to the world, it will bring about a decipherment frenzy and an arms race, and no one can clean up that kind of mess. His approach avoids that situation. ”

Song Danxi looked at Zhuang Yan diligently, as beautiful as a little girl in an amusement park, and said with a smile: "In the vast information, we found the construction method of the starfighter, and gave priority to the launch of the 'Phoenix' plan. As long as there is a qualified pilot to activate this 'Furious Phoenix', we will have the ability to destroy all near-Earth satellites within 24 hours, and achieve air and space deterrence, and achieve the goal without a single soldier!" ”

Zhuang Yan said stiffly: "No, your purpose is to form an aerospace fighter formation, so as to form a constructive combat formation and forcibly join the trans-universe trade union. Otherwise, you will not ignore the loss of the driver and promote the Phoenix Project. ”

Song Dan smiled and stretched out his index finger and shook it: "No, there are qualified pilots on the planet, and the next one I want to introduce to you is the first one." ”

Zhuang Yan's mood was agitated, he wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth.

He realized that saying anything would only rub salt on his wounds, and it would be even more detrimental to getting along in the future and the career he insisted on. Except for this extremely high-authority "Phoenix Project", he didn't have a second chance to complete the research on Zhan Ji's origin so freely.

It was as if the whole world, including himself, was saying "shut up" to Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan bit the tip of the pen, and crushed the pen, spitting out plastic slag in embarrassment, which aroused Song Dan's disgust: "You still love to bite the pen so much." ”

Zhuang Yan said: "I want the physical test drive record and parameter report of the 'Angry Phoenix' within half a year, and I want to live or die." You don't have to be taboo, since I'm here, I'm going to hand over my freedom as promised. ”

Song Danqiao smiled and said, "Okay." She lowered her head to operate the computer to access the information, and suddenly, like a little girl who couldn't help but be curious, tilted her head to look at Zhuang Yan and asked, "Don't you wonder who brought about this historic turn?" Shui Ling's eyes flickered, obviously expecting him to ask.

Zhuang Yan showed the vicissitudes of life when the farmer stared at the cracked farmland, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who is that?" ”

"In that parallel universe, his name is Wei Xu." Song Dan smiled diligently with his back hand, naughtily pointed his finger at Zhuang Yan, and said: "He is also the deputy commander of the 'Qifeng' base, after the unification of the world, he should really carve a monument like the Statue of Liberty according to his appearance!" In short, you have to get along well. ”

"Captain." Zhuang Yan's chest was as calm as water, just like his voice, "I'm convinced." I will respect him. ”

Song Dan achieved his goal, and he was relieved, slapped a magnetic card in Zhuang Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "Oh, use this identity card to open the door for the time being before injecting you with the identity magnetic stripe." I've already added the information to your authority, so you'll be able to access it in the future. Then goodbye, the intelligent system in the base is very human, you won't get lost without me. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, stretched out his hand and shook it by the door, the magnetic stripe was automatically scanned, and the door was opened and left.

Zhuang Yan turned his head and looked at the heroic "Angry Phoenix" outside the bulletproof glass without a word, and gradually, he regained his breathing, and his chest slowly rose and fell.

Fingernails scratched at the smooth glass blankly, Zhuang Yan muttered silently, trying to use a magnificent and majestic judgment to bury the nausea that wanted to vomit but did not vomit:

"The phoenix comes out of the country of oriental gentlemen and soars beyond the four seas. After Kunlun, drink the pillars, and see the world is peaceful. ”

Three feet away, the angry phoenix stands proudly.
