Chapter 16: The Remembrance of Life
The mothership Life Freedom has been following the trajectory of these meteorites containing nuclear ore, maintaining a stable relative speed for 5 days, and also collecting for 5 days, but now it has to stop collecting, and the original route to New Blue Star has deviated a lot, and continuing to collect will enter a more dangerous area.
Before Xia Long got the right to pilot the Life Freedom sub-ship, he had never entered space, and he didn't know much about the people who made a living by mining in space, and now he experienced a miner, so he asked Alice: "Did you also mine in space before?" Isn't it easy? ”
Alice remembered the sadness of the past, and sighed after comparing the current situation: "You nouveau riche who smuggles agricultural products must not understand, but I now officially thank you, Xie Lu, thank you for saving me." In the vast universe, humans and clones are basically waiting for death, like I was far away from New Blue Star before, and after the spaceship was damaged, I could only stay in the lifeguard and wander around the universe, not knowing where the road would float in the next moment. ”
Alice slowly talks about herself, and her parents also left a few years ago due to a strange illness, but they are left with a spaceship and a fairly sufficient amount of nuclear fuel. The income from mining is very small, and the city-state has to collect some of it, and the captain of the attached mothership also has to collect some of it, and there is not much merit in the last ore exchange.
It's just that mining is not difficult, just having a spaceship, but the harm in the universe is too great. If it weren't for the fact that her ship's nuclear fuel was running out, Alice wouldn't have followed Sharon twice before, risking her to an area already a little far from New Zealand in the face of Cass's bounty.
I thought that after shooting down a piece of the Life Freedom, I could make my life better, but at that time, so many spaceships were vying for this fragment, the Rubik's Cube formation was chaotic, and my spaceship was retaliated by Xia Long, and it was finally destroyed.
If it weren't for the fact that the ship had been equipped with a life-saving compartment earlier, Alice's spaceship would not have been able to survive temporarily after it was damaged; If it weren't for the fact that the life-saving chamber was about to run out of nutrient solution and energy, and was saved by Xia Long, Alice would not be able to be considered a life now! Thinking of this, Alice expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Xia Long!
Looking at Alice, who was a little sad, Xia Long patted her shoulder and said: "I can understand, don't think that my smuggling of agricultural products is a huge profit, my relatives only have a grandfather with a strange disease, and the proceeds I smuggled are basically replaced with hibernation potions and potions to eliminate side effects, of course, it is only enough to exchange for ordinary goods."
"Then I'm wrong about you, it turns out that we were all in a similar situation before. Xia Long, I want to ask you, why did you want to save me in the first place, to save an enemy who once threatened you and tried to capture you alive, is it just the respect for life you said? Alice asked, a little confused.
Looking at Alice, who was less than half a meter away from her, her eyes made Xia Long's palms sweat, and she took a deep breath before she agreed: "You said that you are a human in the distress signal, and I made a complete decision to save you when I learned of this situation, interstellar navigation is very monotonous, I want to talk to a human, even if it is an enemy." I'm not at ease with those who came to me as Kas. ”
Xia Long's reply once again made Alice reveal a pair of deep dimples, both of them understood that even if they could rely on technology to extend life indefinitely, they had no spiritual pursuits, no concerns, no one to cry and laugh together, and such human life was meaningless.
Ten days later, as he continued to get closer to New Blue Star, Xia Long encountered sporadic cosmic shipwrecks again, robots were the majority, a small number of clones, and humans were completely none.
This made Xia Long joke with Alice again: "It seems that our fate is destined, I am destined to be your patron saint, how difficult it is to find a human victim, especially a quite beautiful human!"
Alice's face turned red again, and at Xia Long's giggling, she felt her heart suddenly beating faster, and pulled a reason to prepare a diplomatic statement, and stayed away from Xia Long.
These victims are lucky, in the vast universe, the range of distress signals issued by the lifeguard is extremely limited, and it is easier to deal with those who are closer to New Blue Star; If you want to search and rescue people from a long distance, not to mention the city-states consume a lot of energy, and the people rescued are also limited, so even if humans encounter this situation, they will be abandoned, and Alice is a living example.
To save these sporadic victims, the Life Freedom needs to repeatedly adjust the course, and the time from the expected arrival at New Blue Star has also increased a lot, Xia Long is not worried about this, these people are saved by himself, Xia Long is ready to be a hostage first, and it would be better if he rescued some more humans, so as not to break down the reconciliation reached with Cass on the way, and it will be a bit of a way to cope at that time.
When he found that the protective clothing and protective armor of these victims were very backward, and some were even more backward than the ones he used at the beginning, Xia Long couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how could the spacecraft sail to such a long distance, how could the protective clothing and protective armor still be like this? Charon had no choice but to find Alice and ask.
Hearing Xia Long's question, Alice sneered: "Captain Xia Long of the Life Freedom, my savior, this shouldn't be your maiden cosmodrome, right?"
Feeling that his face was a little hot, Xia Long sighed in his heart that it was really retribution, it was Alice who made herself blush before, but now it was the other way around, so he had to explain: "To be exact, it's the second time, I went from New Blue Star to the E Star Halo area before, and now it's a reverse voyage."
Through Alice's explanation, the one that can use the protective armor is mixed very well, the better protective armor resists radiation, the ability of high temperature and low temperature is much stronger than that of the protective suit, and some can also have an ideological effect, the best one is the one that Dr. Mel used before, which can fly and have an invisible effect.
But whether it is protective clothing or protective armor, the quality of the No. 6 city-state is the best. All require high merit, and it is difficult for people who make a living from mining to buy a better one, and the usual income has to repair the spaceship and replenish fuel, plus some daily expenses, it will take a long time to buy a set.
Computer: It is expected to enter the gravitational range of star D in 10 days, master, is there any indication of the next step.
Xia Long hurriedly responded: "No. 3 and No. 4, calculate the best route to land on Star D, I have to do something, it is estimated that it will take several days."
Alice asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't you go to D star?" How many more days are you going to stay? The above resources are very ordinary, and they are completely worthless for us. ”
Xia Long has his own plan, put the waste ores that were roughly screened before on the D star, these waste ores are not of high use value to Xia Long, they are easy to find in the universe, and the huge mass stored in the mothership will consume a lot of energy, and it is easy to make the passing spaceships suffer if they are thrown into space at will.
This idea inspired Alice, as Xia Long's diplomatic spokesman, this matter has a very positive propaganda significance, and when it is implemented, some stereoscopic images will be left as evidence.
Xia Long pondered for a while and then said: "I still have an idea, according to the information I saw in the data box, I am going to build a sculpture for Dr. Mel in D star, according to his relatives, the scenery of his hometown, so that his wish that has not been realized for thousands of years will be fulfilled here with me!"
Xia Long got Dr. Mel's data box, and the 6 major city-state alliances represented by Cass wanted to recapture the data box, which is no longer a hidden news, but under Cass's vigorous publicity, Xia Long's image is not good in the New Blue Star people, and the spaceship can have a barrier effect, and this technique can be announced, which can benefit many people.
Alice didn't expect Xia Long to have such a plan, and smiled cheerfully: "I was a little jealous of your shit luck before, Dr. Mel's data box, so many people didn't hit it, but it hit you!" You have such an idea, and you still have a little conscience! ”
"I can come to the rescue of a former enemy like you, isn't this conscience? Alice, you should judge this idea of mine with romanticism! ”
After the Mothership Life Freedom arrived in a valley on the surface of the D star that had been selected before the arrival of the 50 gathering spacecraft were busy again, bringing out the waste ore born from the screening of nuclear ores out of the mothership, and Xia Long set up a temporary factory nearby, and the plan to build a sculpture complex began immediately.
Based on the high mountains on the left side of the valley, on the rocks on the surface, many robots are busy, judging from the current outline, there are some huge humanoid sculptures, after completion, there are Dr. Mel, Tulip, Dolly (Black Rose), David (Blood Begonia), and some relatives in Dr. Mel's impression.
In the valley, the scenery of Dr. Mel's hometown is sculpted, and the materials are all processed from the discarded ore. Windmill meadows, tulips, normal proportions of Dr. Mel and his loved ones.
In order to preserve it for a longer time, Xia Long produced high-temperance glass in a temporary factory to cover this sculpture group, as long as it is not destroyed by meteorites or man-made, there will be no problem for hundreds of years.
The completion of this sculpture was much higher than Xia Long's estimate, and it took 10 days. Leaving the D star and entering its aura area, Xia Long remembered the situation of participating in the F2 race before, when he wanted to feel the excitement, but he never used ideology, completely used normal feelings, and his heart was a little almost unbearable!
Looking at the venue of the F2 event, Alice sighed a little: "If Xia Long is caught by Cass and my spaceship is not damaged, my Earth Circle Man 6 Series should be in hand, and I can participate in the next F2 race!"
After being rescued by Xia Long, Alice has always been a little reluctant, she doesn't have to worry about her livelihood, she just accompanies Xia Long to talk and talk every day, and she is teased by him from time to time, and the work of a real diplomatic spokesperson has never started.
"At that time, I had been watching the game, and the commentator was so talented, long live freedom, long live life, and said how many of the three major lifeforms had the common aspiration, if it weren't for Cass saying that you stole technology and issued a wanted reward for you, your popularity would still be very high."
Xia Long remembered what happened to Dr. Mel in his life, from being threatened to go to New Blue Star, to learning science and technology to benefit the residents of New Blue Star, he paid a lot, but in the end, he still couldn't grasp the freedom he wanted, and the life he longed for.
Charon did pick up Dr. Mel's big bargain, and after listening to Alice's exclamation, he said: "Everyone has their own freedom and life, but I will definitely fulfill Dr. Mel's wish, return to Earth, find the descendants of his relatives, and take a good look at his hometown for him!"
