Chapter 2 Welcome to Pavatiga
Welcome, Your Excellency, Commander.
Mechanized voices, undulating tones, indifferent attitudes, familiar ways, familiar sentences.
It's only been more than two years since I last heard this sentence, but now that I hear it again, Shuer has a feeling of being in a different world.
At this moment, he seemed to be back in the metal fortress again, as if he was sitting in the dark again, watching the video while analyzing the purpose of the Zerg Queen, racking his brains to seek that glimmer of life in despair.
Everything is different, this is not the world of bugs, and Shul does not have to sleep for days in a row, and soaks in the control room every second, just to obtain more information and strive to make the analysis more accurate. However, even though he had returned to Pavatiga, much safer than the world of bugs, Shure's heart was still full of joy to hear this familiar welcome again, well, the joy of extreme surprise.
It's so surprising, Xiu'er, who always likes to plan ahead of everything, really didn't expect it this time.
When he returned to Pavatiga more than two years ago, Shure's backpack was full of mechanical equipment, which used to occasionally emit undetectable vibrations and slight buzzing noises when they were on the road, but since the confrontation with the Zerg Queen, there was no sign of these still running, and after returning to Pavatiga, it was like a pair of scrap metal, no matter how much he tried, there was no sign of restarting.
Everyone knows that the equipment is completely broken, Wei is dead, and Shuer also understands this, he is not the kind of idiot who does not dare to accept reality and does not understand what it is to give up.
Even if he accepted the reality, in order to leave a memorial, Shure still planned to bring all the equipment back to the Darkmoon Sanctuary and display it in the Valhalla, which is still empty, which is the place where the Darkmoon Church commemorates the Heroic Spirits who sacrificed for the Church, it is very serious, very heavy, but it is almost empty, as for the reason, heh, it is too sad, it is better not to mention it.
However, this plan was stopped by Yulia, her reason is very clear, if you take it back as a souvenir, she will have no hope at all, it is better to leave it to me, maybe in a hundred years, I will accidentally fix her.
Shuer really couldn't refute it, although she knew that this guy had been plotting against Wei all along, not because she was afraid that Wei would beat her with tanks and fighter planes, and maybe she would have dismantled Wei in the base, but she was right, even if she would definitely laugh and dismantle Wei's equipment into parts, it was better than dying completely, after all, that was the only hope, although this line of hope was extremely slim.
"You're a genius, Yulia. Standing stiffly at the door of the cab for a long time, Xiuer sent it down, shook his head and smiled, "Okay, you won, I admit it, you scared me this time, I never thought that you could fix her in my lifetime, the dark moon is above, I really never dreamed of it." ”
"Now that I know that your investment of five hundred gold coins is worth it, I took a lot of time to fix her. Yulia's posture was noble and elegant, and she was not complacent at all because of Shuer's praise, "Although it is very possible, it is just because of the energy overload that caused the energy pipeline to fuse, but I am not sure, and the rules of the two worlds are different, and the concept of the energy pipeline is also different, plus to convert the energy system for her, almost all the pipelines and energy supply equipment have to be replaced, and all the capital investment adds up, a hundred light meals are not enough, I should ask you for repair fees to compensate for my hard work in the past few years." ”
"Huh. Shul touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
They are all smart people, no one can hide from anyone, everyone knows that Shuer followed Yulia and Dack's words and promised to invite everyone to dinner, that is, he was ready to be cheated, harmless jokes, can fully shorten the distance between everyone, and further consolidate the feelings of shared suffering, even if Shuer is stingy, no, no, no, even if he is more persistent with money than ordinary people, he is still willing to accept it, it is regarded as an emotional investment.
But five hundred gold coins is too much.
Of course, jokes can be made, but once the joke is overdone, it is not so pleasant. Luckily, Shul knew she didn't mean to, but really treated five hundred gold coins as a change that wasn't worth caring about, just like Shul wouldn't care about one or two small silver coins, well, a copper coin or two. Therefore, he didn't have any radical thoughts about this matter, but he still maintained a detached attitude towards her, after all, the concept of money was too far apart, and forcibly befriending her would only add to the embarrassment.
However, although she didn't say it after this meeting, judging from her attitude, she still felt a little guilty and wanted to apologize...... What are you kidding, how can you forget it, five hundred gold coins, ten days of dry bread, carrying the corpse of the worm, it took ten days to go back and forth between Shuangshan City and the Rose Capital, although the whole process is in the middle of the country, and the cities are connected to each other to form a safe passage, but in order to hurry, he walked all the way in a straight line, and more than half of them were sleeping in the wilderness outside the city, and it only took ten days to exchange the loot for money. The loveliest sister in the world actually ate dry bread and sprinkled salt for ten days, which is unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.
Roaring frantically in his heart, Xiuer was calm on the surface, and patted the cockpit console with his familiar hand: "Long time no see, Wei, I really didn't expect to meet again, I'm very happy, what about you?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I am just a piece of data, everything is running according to the established procedures, there is no emotion to speak of. ”
"Hehe, it's still the same. The familiar answer made Xiuer smile knowingly, "How is it, can it be projected?"
"No, Your Excellency, you can't project a virtual body without the relevant support equipment. ”
"Well, it doesn't matter. Wei's reboot means that a thorn in Xiuer's heart has been removed, and the lesson of not being underestimated is still in his heart, but at least there is no need to regret it, which makes him quite happy, and he even talks more, "When did you recover? ”
"There are no contact instructions. "Of course, it is impossible for a mace to take the initiative to jump up and smash people, and it is impossible for Wei to take the initiative to inform Shuer without instructions, but ...... When fighting the Queen, it seems that no one gave the order to unfold the particle defense barrier.
"I remember who told me that the fourth rule of control is that you can't lie, and this shouldn't be fake. ”
The prompt light on the console flashed: "Without the support of a large number of communication satellites, the data cannot be transmitted remotely to the output device, the communication line cannot be established, and the contact attempt is terminated." ”
It seems that this is the real reason, tsk, even Wei has learned to lie.
"Don't look at me, I'm just an ordinary wingman, I can't do anything that complicated. Finding that Shuer turned her head to look at herself, Yulia shook her head vigorously, "There is no manufacturing method in her memory bank, even if there is, it is useless, the communication satellite she said exists in the order void outside the planet, and that kind of thing cannot exist in this world." Maybe in the future it will be possible to find an alternative with magic, but at least not with the current level of technology. ”
"Not a question, I just wanted to ask......" Shul squinted at Yulia, "why did she get on the floatship?"
"Of course it's work, do you think it's going to be easy to get dozens of jets to run at the same time, not only to keep the hull balanced according to the immediate wind, but also to defy gravity and make the hull descend slowly and evenly, which requires a lot of calculations in an instant, and the brains of intelligent beings can't do it at all. Moreover, it is impossible for intelligent beings to divide their thinking ability into countless parts to control all equipment, and there will be errors in manpower after all, which is normal, but when it is reflected in the float boat, the error will be magnified countless times, and the result is that the float boat is torn apart by the power of its own jet. But Wei doesn't have this problem, and for her, it's simple. ”
"I know everything, but I just want to know why she's on the floatboat. ”
"Hey, I've spent so much gold on a poor priest who I've never seen in my life to fix her, shouldn't I let her work for me as compensation? It's okay if you don't put her here, where to put it, even if you put it in your Dark Moon Temple, can you, a poor person who weeps bitterly for five hundred gold coins and has to borrow money, can you afford it, it's not like you can only shut her up, it's like forcibly locking her up in a small black room and imprisoning her, tsk, fortunately Moria is not there, otherwise she would have found a topic to attack again. Instead of cheapening you to play a game of imprisonment with her, let her work for me, and in return, I can also add high-grade lube to her. ”
"Sure enough, you black-hearted employer, you should be paid for such a heavy and boring job, add some lube? ”
"That's right, otherwise how do you think those riches comparable to an empire came from, the Lord of the Sky?"
It is a sad fact that the contradiction between poverty and wealth is indeed irreconcilable.
After a fierce conflict between the rich and the poor, the scene was finally under control, and the two were no longer messing around, and Shuer patted the console thoughtfully: "According to you, it seems that the floatship cannot be replicated for the time being?"
"Talking to you is a matter of convenience. Yulia nodded, "Although Wei's computing power is strong, but due to the limitations of equipment, she can play less than one thousandth, coupled with the lack of communication support, she can only control one ship, if you want more floating boats, there must be more existences similar to Wei, otherwise everything is empty talk." ”
"Heh, then I will understand what the Lord of the Sky and you mean, and the details will be discussed in detail when the Archbishop of the Sky Temple arrives. Shul smiled, stroked the console and said, "Actually, the word welcome should be said by me, hehe, welcome to the world of Pavatiga, my friend, congratulations on your successful regaining consciousness." Knowing that you are still alive and well cared for, then I can rest assured, come on, I will come to see you often. ”
"It's the first time I've heard someone describe a free float boat ride as so fresh and refined, and you're really unusual. ”
"Of course, five hundred gold coins are on it, are you still embarrassed to charge me for the boat fare?"
"Excuse me, excuse me. ”
Boom, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the float boat set sail.
