284 Night Hemisphere (4th Watch)
After the handshake, Lin Youde cleared his throat and said, "Thank you very much for accepting our request." As long as we have the opportunity, we will definitely repay this kindness. β
"No, we just want to thank you for saving our fellow citizens from danger. I heard that you fought a fierce battle to save our people? β
It seems that the Enterprise's prowess has reached the side of the Tula.
"We're just trying to protect ourselves."
"Self-preservation is a fact, as is the protection of our compatriots, so our Council of Elders decided to meet your ship's demands in return. The repair of your ship will start immediately, in order to ensure the speed of repair, we hope that your ship can provide us with the blueprint of the ship, and we promise that we will not leave a copy and will not let the engineer copy it from memory afterwards. β
In fact, there is no need for the Tula people to steal the blueprint of the enterprise, the ranking difference between the two races is too far, and the strength is not a level at all.
Lin Youde nodded, and then said, "Then, let's get down to business now, right?" β
"No problem, in a space without water and gravity, many of our Tula rituals cannot be performed, so let's make up for it when you visit the surface of Tula's home planet later."

In order to visit the docks of the Tula people, Freya and Hu Tao changed back into training clothes, so that they only needed to add a breathing mask and a wetsuit.
When the two of them arrived on the hangar deck with Mr. Si, who had changed into a spacesuit, the crew of the ship preparing to go to the Tula space station was already waiting.
Surprisingly not much, but think about it, most of the crew has jobs. The Tula engineers were not familiar with human ships, so the restoration work required the cooperation of both human and Tula crews.
Hu Tao did not take electives in engineering. So you don't have to participate in this work, and Freya doesn't have to participate. But there are probably not many people on the ship who have leisure like the two of them - although Lin Youde previously broadcast a notice on the radio in a tone that it seems that everyone can apply to go to the Tula space station, but the reality is that most of the people's applications have been rejected.
Hu Tao looked at Freya with some concern, and sent a message and asked, "Are you okay, swimming or something?" β
"I have a mod to download."
"But......" Hu Tao frowned, still looking very uneasy, "but...... Haven't you only been like this for a few days? β
"It's too much, it's been a long time!" Xia Yongzhi pursed her lips and used the coquettish method she usually used to use to Lin Youde on Hu Tao. hugged Hu Tao's arm, but Hu Tao was much shorter than Lin Youde, this action directly made Hu Tao's face squeeze on Freya's chest, if the object was Lin Youde, it should only be the shoulders that were squeezed at this time.
"Besides, if you don't have Hu Tao, if I can't handle it, I'll play dead in the water, and wait for you to drag me forward."
"Isn't it okay to trouble others like this?"
Freya smiled, shaking her body. Let the fat in your chest rub against the walnut ears.
Hu Tao sighed and said no more.
At this time, the radio sounded: "Personnel going to dock five can go." β
The light on the airlock then switched to green.
However, in fact, there was air outside the airlock at this time, and the entire force field formed a huge air bubble enveloping the Enterprise, so it didn't matter if it flew out without wearing a spacesuit.
But not the Tula. Although they can survive in the air for a while, they are aquatic creatures after all, and living in the air will cause a lack of water in the epidermis. In short, all kinds of discomfort. So the Tula still had to wear spacesuits covered with a water-retaining layer inside.
"Whenever this happens, I sigh that terrestrial creatures are so good." Mr. Si said. "But I'm not like Shuk, I envy the adaptability of terrestrial creatures in the air. We've long since developed skin that adapts to the air, but I'm reluctant to transplant it. β
As he spoke, Mr. Si activated the thruster and moved forward.
Hu Tao also skillfully activated the thruster and slowly floated forward, but Freya obviously had not yet adapted to using the radio wave to control the propulsion device, and was suddenly pushed forward by a large acceleration, Hu Tao subconsciously grabbed her, and as a result, her flight attitude immediately became a mess.
"Ahh Freya made a cute voice, as if she was going to rely on the bracelet's auxiliary calculation to stabilize her body's posture, but she was in a hurry to make a mess of Hu Tao.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't move!"
Freya honestly stopped moving, and Hu Tao adjusted the flight attitude of the two of them by herself, and then she sighed and asked through the airwaves: "Your Royal Highness, why do you maintain that strange posture?" β
"Hey, you told me not to move."
"Please return to your natural drift now."
"Oh." Only then did Freya lift the pose reminiscent of the Shiva dance in Hindu mythology.
At this time, the intranet of the Enterprise was already frantically circulating a series of videos of Freya and Hu Tao just messing around, and the number of posts soon exceeded the number of crew members, and everyone said that it was a mystery for the ages how such cute creatures as the Ilarai got into the Ten Giants of the Galactic Council.
And then about half of the posts will say: Princess Freya received a maid, it's pretty cute.
Hu Tao quietly browsed these posts in the incognito mode, and felt that her face was hot - but she didn't realize that her mood was countless times better in an instant after reading these posts.
No way, girls love beauty.
At this time, the group had already flown out of the hangar and were directly in the universe.
Hu Tao remembers his first internship in space when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, and he was frightened by space for the first time during his first spacewalk. In fact, most of the children were so scared that they peed their pants, and Hu Tao forcibly endured it. At that time, Hu Tao focused all his attention on the planet where his home was located, trying not to pay attention to the dark void around him.
Then Hu Tao suddenly felt that the planet she was born and grew up on was really beautiful, when she had just gone to space, she saw the planet for the first time and said "so beautiful" like other children, but in fact, her inner feeling for its beauty was not particularly strong.
But that time, she deeply felt that the planet she grew on had an indescribable beauty, and the beautiful magnet attracted her attention and allowed her to spend her first spacewalk safely.
Later, the teacher took a spaceship and began to recover the children who were floating everywhere, and some of them even floated to the position where the seat belts were completely tightened, and they fainted there.
Only Hu Tao, because her body was not twisted at all, stayed in the position when she pulled the seat belt for "positioning" for the first time after she got out of the cabin.
Later, Hu Tao got a little red flower and a teacher's praise: "Hu Tao may be quite suitable to be an astronaut." β
This sentence made the girl Hu Tao care about space flight for a while, and even began to buy many issues of the astronaut enthusiast e-magazine.
But just like many "dreams" when they were teenagers, Hu Tao's slightly ignited dreams ended without a problem with the passage of time.
Hu Tao has become an ordinary girl, taking classes, making friends, shopping, chatting with friends about male stars, singing karaoke, the universe seems to be getting farther and farther away, and even a space internship in junior high school and high school makes Hu Tao feel troublesome.
But at this moment, Hu Tao is floating in a foreign universe, in front of him is a jewel-like alien home planet, this planet is so beautiful, not lost to the hometown seen in that spacewalk.
- The distance you fly in the universe now is probably longer than the distance traveled by the whole class in high school combined, right?
At this time, Hu Tao's bracelet received a communication from Mr. Si: "Attention, you are about to enter the night hemisphere, don't blink." β
Only then did Hu Tao notice that there was a black and white line moving on the other space stations in the distance, which was the boundary of the shadow of the planet Tula, and Dock 5 was speeding towards the night hemisphere with the Enterprise, and the space stations in front of them were being swallowed up by Tula's shadow one by one.
In fact, at this time, a faint light can already be seen on the black half of the planet Tula, but the light of the sun is too dazzling, so it is not very obvious.
The moment the black boundary swallowed Dock Five, the light on Tula's home planet became clear.
Unlike the nighttime lights of terrestrial planets, Tula's lights have a hazy feel andβ
"Moving?"
"That's right, it's an ocean current, and when an ocean current passes over an urban agglomeration, the refraction of light changes because the speed and temperature of the water are constantly changing. How's that, it's beautiful, my hometown! β
Hu Tao subconsciously covered his mouth.
The entire planet Tula now emits a soft, dynamically changing light, and the ocean currents formed by the different wind bands on the planet can be clearly seen, and the whole planet seems to come to life.
"What about those pattern-like things?"
"Urban communities, like your human planet, after the Tula people began to burrow and settle, they also formed urban communities, and generally our cities are concentrated near the submarine volcanoes, and the minerals emitted by the volcanoes and the heat emitted can feed anaerobic bacteria, bacteria feed microorganisms, and microorganisms feed small fish, and finally we Tula people."
Hu Tao was speechless, she had seen the night hemisphere of her hometown, she had seen the night hemisphere of Arcturus, but none of them could compare to the night hemisphere of Tula in magnificence, it was indeed a beautiful scenery that could not be blinked.
At this time, Freya hummed a soft melody softly.
On the planet Sethley, Hu Tao has already learned the princess's artistic qualities, but now this song matches the scene in front of him, and Hu Tao is still amazed.
Hu Tao slowed down her ride, and Freya and Mr. Si immediately joined her, and they drifted towards the dock while admiring the beautiful view.
