Chapter 158: The Oath
That night, Liu Chang urgently summoned Jesus to his office, told Jesus about Goode's instructions, and finally said: "That old cat is in Goode's office, Goode is here for us to reply, I want to hear your opinion." ”
Four months later, Goode's team finally completed its work, with the sun as the center, finding the nearest eight stars in eight directions, and among the moons of these stars, finding the most suitable satellite and laying eight nails.
At the same time, according to the next target of the base, eight probes were launched in eight directions, and the next step was to converge with the mothership and select an origin as the base point.
If the probe in eight directions can discover a new intelligent planet, the new planet will be used as a new base, and the number of this base point is 925800 in District 108.
As the old cat who guards the tower, he also keeps his promise and is stationed on Earth as the last line of defense with Colonel Ahmenes and his cronies. Of course, the old cat also got what he wanted.
That night, he got Liu Chang's permission, and Goode talked with the old cat all night, and Goode answered all the questions he asked.
Liu Chang can't help it, because he has to leave, this is his mission. The most direct threat facing the earth is not a high civilization, the earth is too primitive, according to the division of Gude, it still belongs to the second order, even if it is the second order, it is also the primary stage of the second order, let alone a civilization. In the eyes of more than one civilization, it is simply an ant-like existence.
The biggest and most direct threat is these cat people, and more directly, General Nicholas Dingpu, because they are not much different from the civilization of the earth, they are in the third-order stage, the so-called 'science' stage, they can barely carry out short-distance interstellar voyages, and the energy structure of the earth happens to be their dish.
had no choice but to use Colonel Menes to restrain Tempo.
What Liu Chang can do is to improve the civilization stage of these cat people, otherwise, they are not the opponents of General Ding Pu at all. As for how much the old cats can understand, and whether they can cross over to a paragraph, it depends on their own creation.
As for why he didn't directly raise the civilization level of the earth, Liu Chang hadn't thought about it, and the final result was that Liu Chang gave up with a wry smile.
The civilization of the earth has just gotten rid of theology, that is, the stage of ignorance, and has stepped into the stage of witchcraft, and there are many things that they cannot accept at all, let alone learn.
"If you can protect the earth for 5,000 years, you will receive an order from the commander to become one of us" As he left, Goode had an idea and threw down a big red date.
Although I don't know what life it is, this red date still makes these cat people excited one by one, especially Colonel Menes, who almost knelt on the ground to thank him. If his family can enter a higher-level civilization, then his family will not only be revived, but will simply soar. And he will live forever in the hearts of the people! ’
"Senior sister, three junior brothers, our mission has been successfully completed, and in twenty-four hours, the main ship will clear the passage for us, and we can go home." Goode was very excited to announce the news of his return home to the four senior siblings.
"Oh~ go home," Bruce and Li Han cheered first. It's been four years, especially the two of them, eating, sleeping, and going to work are all in this experimental cabin, which can be suffocated. Having a meal with their wife every day is their only pleasure, and the children are not brought, they have to go to class, and they dare not delay their studies.
"Are you going home?" Mani, contrary to the happy and excited expressions of the other four, did not want to go home. In the past four years, for him, it has been a daily New Year. Unlike them, his mission is to gather energy, and most of the time he spends his time mining outside, and he simply enjoys the work, blasting a planet to pieces with a single shot, and then collecting the fragments into neutron balls. He wasn't interested in the neutron sphere, but what he liked the most was the beautiful picture of the planet's magma splattering like a fireflower in the void.
"You don't want to go home, do you?"
"Of course... Thought. But the thought of me doing my part to defend my hometown makes my blood boil. Team leader, should we put a few more nails in it, I always feel that there are some holes in the defense. ”
"I don't know if there's a hole in the defenses here, Mani, I think your defenses are out of the holes. Alisa has a message and asks why you didn't reply to her newsletter. Liu Ni looked at Mani with a smile and handed him the communicator.
"Huh?" Mani was shocked: "Why did he call you?" What did you tell her? ”
"I said you're outside, the signal is not good, and you can't receive it."
"Yes, yes, damn the signal, I can't get it at all, and you two who are engaged in technology don't want to think of a way."
"Hello, dear, it's me, I just came back...
"Gude Team Leader" Liu Ni handed a recorder to Gude: "This is an archived copy of all documents, after you sign and approve, you can upload it." ”
"Okay."
To say that in the past few months, the most depressed is Gude, for four months, the senior sister and him have been on official business, without the slightest progress.
He checked all the male humans in the base one by one, but he didn't find out who his rival was, so he went to kindergarten.
Do rivals in love also have to start from dolls?
On this day, when there was nothing to do, Liu Chang and Jesus chatted with Jesus while drinking tea.
"These little guys are really good, they finished the work so smoothly." Jesus was quite satisfied with this mission, and it should be no problem to hide the solar system for thousands of years, as for the future, let's talk about it later. Recently, there has been no big deal, the main thing is to wait for Gude and them to return, and then they can embark on their journey.
"You can't call them little guys anymore, it's the one hundred and seventh year of Tianyuan, and the youngest of them are more than a hundred years old" Liu Chang hurriedly corrected it, resolutely opposing judging people by their appearance! Obediently, in this way, aren't you a child? This year is the one hundred and seventh year of Tianyuan, you! Xiao Ye, you were born in the fifty-seventh year of Tianyuan, except for the three aunts here, only I am the oldest.
"What do you count with your fingers?" Jesus saw that Liu Chang counted them one by one with his fingers, but he couldn't count them, and even took off his shoes, and had the meaning of adding his toes to it, so he asked curiously.
"I'll calculate how old I am this year" Liu Chang didn't even raise his head, and pulled his toes with his stuffy head.
"Don't forget it, you're one hundred and forty-five years old, old goblin, no one is robbing you," Jesus said with a helpless smile. Don't look at Jesus' tall and big and jade trees in the wind, his age is hard and bruised, and some second-generation disciples are older than him. Especially this hateful guy, he is always pulling his age in front of him, for fear that he will take advantage of him.
"Hey, Maria, how is Mary now, I haven't seen her in a long time." Find your mother, arrange a goddess for you, you still don't agree, visit your home, find your parents, sue!
"It's still the same, it's just that it's hard to move. Fortunately, there is Ganidoo's vegetable garden, and he is with Ganidoo almost every day. Jesus knew that his mother, Mary, had hurt her body because of him, and he felt guilty.
Although his mother lived with him, she preferred to be with her two older sisters.
Liu Chang got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the vegetable garden to have a look." The little ones were coming back soon, and asked Ganidoo and Jones to prepare the order and pick them up. ”
Gannedoo's Arboretum is close to Jones's Zoo, and the two are both separate and combined. In previous years, due to the lack of gravity, only planting in boxes was basically in vain, but since capturing a few asteroids, replenishing energy, and the gravity system was activated, her plantation returned to normal, and the sand floating in the air stabilized and could be planted.
The gravity system is not so mysterious, that is, in the center of the aircraft, a compressed planet is placed, and the earth is compressed to a diameter of more than 20 meters. Therefore, it is very easy for the earth to move, first compress and take it away, and then decompress it to the place.
"Every day, I'm sleepy when I sit, am I really old?" Ganidoo was also chatting with Maria, who was now the oldest and no longer in strength.
Now the greatest pleasure of every day is to wander around in your own place, looking east and west. Watch the volunteers and the kids who come to earn game money at work.
Accustomed to drinking tea, he is now drinking tea with Maria: "We should also be old, time flies so fast, when I brought these children into the snowy mountains, I can clearly remember that the youngest was only a few years old; You see, their children are older than they were back then. "What the old sisters love most now is to sit together and reminisce about the old days.
"No," said Maria, "I remember that it was the most enjoyable time of my life. The children, but I pulled them out of the crowd one by one. ”
"Of course I remember, I seem to have come to the Great Snow Mountain at the age of twenty-one, and I am now two hundred and thirteen years old." At this time, coincidentally, Gan Nidu was drinking tea, reminiscing about the past affectionately, doing the same thing as Liu Chang, and also pulling his fingers to calculate his age, especially the memory of his youth, sometimes very vague, sometimes very clear.
Mary said, "Do you remember so clearly? ”
"But no, during this time, I counted with my fingers every day to calculate how old I was. After I arrived at the Snow Mountain, the time was very clear, I didn't know before, twenty-one years old was my estimate, how much, I calculated for a long time, anyway, it didn't exceed twenty-one. ”
"We're pretty much the same, I don't know how old I am, anyway, I remember three or four years earlier than Liu Ling." Mary thought about it, as if she was not sure of her age, her father died before she was born, and when she and her mother depended on each other, except for herding sheep and milking them, it seemed like every day.
At that time, there seemed to be a chronology, and it seemed that the reign time of the consul was also used, but as a shepherdess, who would care how old the city lord was, and how many years he had been the city lord, and he couldn't even count the lambs, and how many years the city lord would reign?
Ganidoo said, "You have to take care of your body, you seem to be younger than Jones, right?" ”
"Hmm~" Maria pondered for a moment and said, "I'm older than her, she's the youngest, and even Liu Ling is older than her." ”
"It doesn't matter how old you are, it's good to live in a daze. How old do you say Jesus is in your house? It's almost forty, right? "If you are confused, you will be confused, no matter how old it is, if it is calculated correctly, it will not add points, and it will live a few more years.
Gannidu also gave up calculating how old he was, and he still cared about the reality. The most practical of all is the son of Mary.
Mary remembers very well, and besides, the birth of her son Jesus is well recorded: "I remember that he was born in the fifty-seventh year of the Celestial A.D., and this year is the one hundred and seventh year of the A.D. ”
Ganidu said: "Then you are not in a hurry? ”
Ganidoo came out of nowhere, but Maria didn't understand and asked? "What's the hurry?"
"What's the hurry, marry him a woman?"
"What are you talking about?" Just when the two aunts were talking about Jesus' marriage, the hero of the story and Liu Chang came over.
"San'er, are you here? Let's try Auntie's tea. Ganidoo said.
"Yo, where did it come from, this is a rare thing" Liu Chang is knowledgeable, tea is the standard for enjoyment, Ye Shu conveys ambition, eaves slip to boil Hu tea, no culture, I don't want to drink tea.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are not mistaken, it is true that Liu Chang was drinking tea with Jesus just now, and Liu Chang is not short of tea. It's just that it is also necessary to see the old man and pretend to be some surprises to make the old man happy.
"This is the new tea of the aunt's tea garden, it is fragrant." You see, Ganni Du heard Liu Chang praising her tea, and his face was full of pride.
Liu Chang picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly. said that he knew how to drink tea and slowly aftertaste: "The lips and teeth are fragrant, the bitter is sweet, and it is really good tea"
Seeing the intoxication on Liu Chang's face, it was very mysterious, Jesus also picked up his cup and drank it like Liu Chang: I didn't feel any fragrance on my lips and teeth, it was true that it was a little bitter. It's true that you can quench your thirst by drinking it in one gulp.
"Those who drink lightly and slowly are the ones who understand tea. You are not drinking tea, but calling the cow to drink. Liu Chang was shaking his bald head.
Jesus ignored Liu Chang and said secretly, this is how he drank it just now, you seem to have poured a big cup into your mouth with a bang, why don't you drag it to be elegant, it must be intentional.
Seeing that Jesus didn't take a stubble, he didn't want to entangle: "What were you talking about just now, it was quite lively." ”
"What can we do, nonsense. Tell me about him, it's time to take a wife," Ganidoo pointed to Jesus.
"Talk about me?" Jesus was shocked, he shouldn't have gone out today, what day was today, and he was guilty of himself.
When Liu Chang heard this, this topic was good, and he was in tune with his heart, so he hurriedly continued: "That's it, I'm in a hurry, I'm quite a big person, and I'm not worried at all." I told him to arrange a goddess, but he didn't want it. Aunt Mary, you need to talk about him. ”
"Mother God?" Maria didn't understand, and Ganidu also looked at Liu Chang in surprise and asked.
Jesus hurriedly interrupted and said, "It's nothing, don't listen to his nonsense, just come and see." No, they're coming back in a few days, and I want to take this opportunity to have a big patty."
"Niko is coming back? That's great. Patty's business will be left to me and Jones, and I'll talk to Jones in a moment. What happened to her and Goode? It's been a few years, so it should be fine, right? "Gannidu is also warm-hearted and cares about Nizi's life.
Liu Chang looked helpless: "Who knows, every time I ask her, I don't say it." ”
Maria took over the topic: "It's a good thing not to say it, the girl's family is thin-skinned." ”
"Is Niko a thin-skinned person? Why didn't I know? Hopefully, Goode didn't come back with a limp. Liu Chang didn't believe it, his apprentice knew it himself, as far as the cheek problem was concerned, Nizi recognized the second, and Alisa didn't dare to admit the first.
Mary said, "If they can make it, it will be a great event, and they will celebrate it." Now it's just the two of them. ”
"No, there is another one" Liu Chang pointed to Jesus, who was studying tea culture seriously.
"Captain, I found a very strange planet, very similar to Earth, but without the breath of life." Just when Jesus felt that a catastrophe was imminent, the disciples of the console hurried in.
"Let's go, let's see." Liu Chang hurriedly got up, this is a big deal, once a suitable planet is found, it can be determined as an anchor point, and the previous work can be carried out smoothly. Goode's work had just ended, and there was a new discovery here, which was a pleasant surprise.
Jesus quickly stood up, relieved, and today is a good day.
While Goode's group was arranging the solar system's defense network, Liu Chang was not idle, he was patrolling his back garden --- the galaxy at a regular speed. The purpose is not to count the stars in the Milky Way, but to see if there are any outsiders in your garden; The second is to find anchors.
The Milky Way is too big, and this anchor can't be too close to the solar system, and it can't be too far. According to the calculations of the Ministry of Technology, the radius is best between 325 and 650 light hours, which is 50 to 100 light years according to the time of the earth.
Liu Chang took routine inspections, which were very slow, but there was also an advantage--- meticulousness. When Liu Chang and the others arrived at the control room, the main information of the planet was almost collected.
This is a solar system-like star, except that the main-sequence star is not a yellow dwarf like the Sun, but a red dwarf slightly smaller than the Sun, with a total of four moons, three rock stars and one gas star.
The "captain" of the ship, a man named Tian Chunsheng, took the initiative to come up and explained to Liu Chang that he was the leader of this group: "This is the sixth one, from the analysis of electromagnetic characteristics, in addition to the oxygen content of less than 5% and the weak geomagnetism, which is about 30% of the earth, the size is 2.2 times that of the earth, the atmospheric pressure is 1.1 times, and the average surface temperature is 12 degrees. The autobiography speed is 28 hours, the revolution is 500 days, the ocean accounts for 65%, and the temperature of the core of the earth is more than 6,000 degrees,。。。。。。 ”
"Hmm" Liu Chang nodded while listening, this planet is much better than the previous five indicators: "You continue"
Tian Chunsheng continued: "We believe that except for the oxygen content and geomagnetic fields that need to be modified, and a day and a year are a bit long, everything else is in line with the requirements, especially the location, the distance from the earth is 80 light years, and if the earth is attacked, it can also be used as a backup or colonization." ”
"The presence of oxygen means that there should be primitive algal life in the oceans of this planet, and it should be easy to increase the oxygen content to 20%, but the trouble point is geomagnetism. Either transform the center of the earth or strengthen the center of the earth. "Will. Hammus added: "It's a bit of a hassle to remodel the center of the earth, it's easy to nail it up, or give it a stronger security."
"Strengthen such a big guy. Too much energy is needed. All of our reserves may not be enough," said another team member, Lieutenant Guard.
Liu Chang asked, "Did you detect the star core?" "Whether a planet can give birth to life, or whether it is suitable for life, the first indicator is whether the planet has a complete core.
The star core is a magnetic object, like a magnet, which slowly attracts the free materials around it, and after a long time, finally forms a planet; It is also the only factor in the formation of a magnetic field in the later stage, there is not necessarily a star core if there is a magnetic field, but there is a star core, there must be a magnetic field!
"Not yet, the magnetic field is too weak for us to capture enough magnetic field lines to analyze the core. One thing is for sure, it must have had a primordial core, either shielded, or incomplete, and should be less than half the size of Earth. However, the Sun here is a red dwarf star, and the radiation is not strong, so it is not a big problem. ”
"Then get close to the probe, and when Goode and the others come back, we'll set off and visit our old friends by the way."
A month later, they finally came to the equilibrium point. When they came to the legendary colony, the flowers covered the floor, and the aisles shouted: 'Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!' The whole planet is bare, even more desolate than Mars.
"What about people? Doesn't it mean that this is one of our colonies? Aren't there rebels? ”
"I saw the rebels with my own eyes, and they're lying?"
"This place, let alone colonization, even a cockroach can't come in."
Just when everyone was talking, they suddenly received an alarm from the main ship, which was the first time in a hundred years that the main base raised an alarm, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
