When did humans stop looking up at the stars?

Is it when the sky becomes gloomy, when the back is weighed down by life?

Zhang Fang was lying on the grass on the slope, with a pile of scattered documents beside him, his hands pillowed behind his head, in a comfortable mood, his eyes closed, and his glasses reflected the beautiful starry sky, as if lying in a free sea of stars.

He was a man who had experienced the war, and later entered the Celestial Star Academy in Dragon City, became a student of Shi Sishi, and had a very complicated time.

After living in Dragon City for a long time, you will unconsciously regard Dragon City as everything, and even gradually forget the threat of the mechanical race, thinking that the giant city can stand until the end of time.

Even the worldview has become smaller at some point, and complex power struggles and intrigues have begun between people.

After walking out of Dragon City, after experiencing a series of events, Zhang Fang felt that his closed worldview was opened again, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"Mr. Zhang seems to be in a good mood, has he gained anything?" A familiar voice suddenly came from afar.

Hearing this voice, Zhang Fang immediately opened his eyes and jumped up from the grass with a look of surprise on his face.

"Commander, you're finally here!" He wiped his blurry glasses and put them back on, and the figures of Su Xia and Xiong Wei appeared in his field of vision.

"Mr. Zhang is actually short-sighted?"

"I had an eye injury in my early years." Zhang Fang explained with a smile, "I don't usually need to wear it, but I have to use it when I do academic research for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the scattered materials on the grass turned out to be windless and automatic, turning page by page, from disorder to orderly, and slowly and automatically sorting them together.

This scene looks a bit magical, and it reminds Susha of the scene in Harry Potter.

If Zhang Fang could have a magic wand in his hand, it would be even more like.

Su Xia asked curiously, "What kind of skill is this?" ”

Zhang Fang said with a smile: "This is one of the skills of the academy, a few core disciples can learn, and the spiritual energy that can control the release can automatically organize books, it can be regarded as an auxiliary skill, it is useless in battle." ”

"It looks pretty good."

"If the commander wants to learn, he will go to Dragon City in the future......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Fang suddenly stopped, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and then he showed an apologetic smile to Su Xia.

His teacher, Shi Sishi, is a professor in the academy, and his status in the academy is quite high, and he is considered the oldest group of people, and he is a contemporary of the dean, and he has a very good relationship.

Now that Su Xia has fallen out with his teacher, there is a high probability that there is no way to go to the academy to learn skills.

"It's okay, I'm illiterate, and I don't have much time to read." Su Xia smiled, her tone was relaxed, and her expression was very calm.

Due to the war, the original commander was unable to complete his studies, and could only slowly learn on his own in his daily life of resistance.

"Commander, look at these pictures."

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhang Fang immediately changed the topic, and with a casual move, dozens of photos placed on the grass flew into his hands.

This skill is really good, it looks elegant, and it has a magical feeling.

In comparison, controlling metal is more violent.

But Su Xia thought that if the paper was controlled to rotate rapidly, the damage it could cause would not be weak.

"Something is wrong......"

He patted his head, feeling that he had killed too many people recently, and he hadn't purified SpongeBob SquarePants after watching a few episodes, and no matter what he saw, the first thing that came to mind was how to use it to kill, even in the real world.

Bloody and violent, as terrifying and mesmerizing as poison.

"In the past two days, I customized a few exploration-type small robots from Boss Shu in the repair shop, let these little robots enter the cracks, and took a lot of photos."

Zhang Fang was quite smart and didn't risk going down alone, handing all the photos to Su Xia.

Su Xia nodded and took the photo, not checking it for the first time, but walked to the edge of the rift and looked down.

This fissure is about twenty meters long, and there are silver-gray walls on both sides of the fissure, and I don't know how long it has been buried in the ground, but it still looks very new, with a cold and hard sense of technology.

"Smack!"

Su Xia turned on a strong flashlight and searched downward, and the dazzling light drove away the darkness little by little, piercing into the extremely deep area.

However, in the depths, light and darkness form opposites, and the silver-gray metal walls on both sides seem to absorb the remaining light, becoming more and more narrow and deep, and it is no longer possible to see what is deeper with the naked eye.

Zhang Fang stood aside and said: "The things underground, whether it is a spaceship or a technological building of a certain era, must be extremely huge, and it will not be able to be explored for a while and a half. ”

"Hmmm......"

Su Xia nodded in agreement, turned off the flashlight, and sat on the edge of the rift, carefully examining the photos.

Xiong Wei was also a little curious, so he followed to check it out.

During this time, only Zhang Fang led a few people to do research around the rift, and the rest of the people, including Xiong Wei, the camp administrator, did not know where the research had been.

Most of the camp members were still in the dark, not knowing what was going on.

"The photograph was taken after ten meters of depth, with a close-up shot of a broken metal pipe...... As for this photo, it's a bare line, I did a simple test, and there is no energy reaction......"

"There are a few simple symbols carved into the metal walls of this area, which I suspect may be the logo of the organization responsible for making this thing......"

"There is also this pipe, there is some residual liquid in the bend in the depths of the pipe, I extracted a little, but the research facilities here in the camp are relatively rudimentary, and it is not possible to study the material in it for the time being......"

“……”

Speaking of research, Zhang Fang has a bit of an academic style, and tells the two of them in detail about the discoveries he has made in the past few days.

While the broken and exposed lines had no energy response after testing, the massive mechanical creature was not completely dead.

According to Zhang Fang, when the little robots made by Boss Shu were one hundred and thirty meters deeper, they were disturbed by some special position, and the picture transmitted to the ground turned into a flickering streak, and fell uncontrollably towards the depths.

It didn't take long for Su Xia to finish reading all the pictures.

He frowned, pondered for a moment, and kept staring at the rift in front of him, but the system didn't jump out of any prompts.

On one of the pictures, there are several simple symbols.

Zhang Fang guessed that it might be the logo of the organization that built the spaceship.

His guess should be right.

Because Su Xia was familiar with the first symbol, it was a blooming rose, with a black background and gold tattoos on the edges, with a hint of elegance in its calmness.

Black Gold Rose.

The same mark was also on the Bone Sword, a fifth-order weapon that Su Xia had been using recently.

His sword was systematically rewarded, came from the stars, and was made by an ancient family called "Hastings".

The family must be very powerful, and according to Dr. Agar's notes, the spaceship he traveled to was given to him by a friend named Eno Hastings.

"Mr. Zhang, where is the liquid you extracted from the pipeline?" Su Xia looked up and asked.

"Most of them are in the camp's makeshift lab, but I have a few with me." Zhang Fang immediately reached out and took out a small transparent test tube from his coat pocket and handed it to Su Xia.

In the test tube is a relatively viscous dark green solution.

Su Xia shook it, and a lot of solution stuck to the wall of the test tube, and it was impossible to tell what it was just by looking at the appearance.

Some episodes of horror science fiction movies in the last century suddenly appeared in Su Xia's mind, if he opened the test tube, would the solution in it crawl out, and then devour his flesh and blood and slowly grow into a monster?

Many science fiction movies in the last century are really good, with big brains and unlimited imagination, especially when the two poles of the world are trying to explore the universe.

It's a pity that the whole world is rotten now, and the starry sky has become an unattainable luxury.

At this moment, a prompt finally popped up in front of Su Xia's eyes.

【Special Plant Nutrient Solution】

[Commonly used to cultivate greenery during long-term deep space travel]

[Harmless, can be in direct contact, will not become a man-eating monster]

It turned out to be just a plant nutrient solution.

Su Xia sighed secretly and handed the test tube to Xiong Wei, who was curious next to him.

Xiong Wei stared at the test tube for a long time, both eyes were about to stare at the cross-eyed, and he didn't see the reason.

"Commander, let's study it here for the rest of our time." Zhang Fang proposed, "Maybe we can call in some excavation equipment to dig this thing out of the ground, but there are not many excavation equipment in the camp at the moment, so I want to ......."

"Does Mr. Zhang plan to inform Long Cheng?"

"Yes, the research ability of the Oasis camp is still weak, and it can't make too many breakthroughs for the time being, what do you think, commander?"

"They can be notified, but don't reveal the true location of the camp." Su Xia didn't distrust Dragon City, but felt that the people from Dragon City would cause a lot of trouble when they came, "Let them go to the old station and wait for us, and send a message when they arrive, I need to observe all the members." ”

"Okay, no problem."

After the last controversy, Zhang Fang naturally understood Su Xia's concerns.

Among the people from Dragon City, will there be undead members with bad intentions?

The previous controversy has not yet reached a conclusion, and the two sides have a very unpleasant quarrel.

Su Xia sat on the edge of the rift and put the nanobot down, without any other movements, both of them thought that he was thinking about the problem, so they didn't bother him.

[In depth, the front is unobstructed, and it has been three meters deep......]

[Real-time feedback ......]

[Minor interference ...... detected]

【……】

These nanobots are Su Xia's eyes, and their technical level is far beyond that of this planet, much stronger than those robots that Boss Shu made temporarily.

Zhang Fang was not idle, and after discussing a few words with Xiong Wei, he immediately began to contact the side of Dragon City.

There are a large number of professionals and equipment in Dragon City, and there is a secret department directly responsible for the study of extraterrestrial civilizations, and it is said that there are many suspected extraterrestrial scientific and technological products and even creatures in the warehouses of that department.

With Zhang Fang's status in Dragon City, he couldn't directly contact the people in that department.

It didn't take long for Dragon City to respond:

[I have received the news, I will send someone over immediately, please do not conduct research without permission, and protect the integrity of the site]

[We will arrive at the station in 48 hours, please remind the members in the station to ......]

[Just the old station?] What do you mean? The rebel leaders at the Oasis camp don't trust us? 】

[We are Dragon City, even we don't trust us, who else can trust? 】

【……】

[Again, don't let any Wilderness Resistance members conduct their own research.]

[They only cause destruction]

【……】

[Please provide the location of the new station, time is precious]

[Please provide the ...... of the new location]

【……】

The answers given by Long Cheng's side were basically what Zhang Fang expected.

But after this period of life, Zhang Fang, like the rest of the camp members, had a higher level of trust in Su Xia.

In his reply, there was still only the location of the old station, and he repeatedly asked the Dragon City side to be patient.

"Alas......"

Looking at the increasingly tough wording of Long Cheng, Zhang Fang's brows were tangled, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Most of the members of Dragon City consider themselves to be a superior level to the scattered rebels in the wilderness.

They have a pride in their bones.

The news of the discovery of the suspected alien spaceship was undoubtedly a bombshell to Dragon City, making many people who were specifically responsible for this aspect anxious.

As shown in the message, their impression of the rebels in the wilderness is still a one-sided impression of rudeness, illiteracy, and barbarism, and they are very worried that the spaceship will be brutally destroyed by the rebel members.

Under the dual emotions of arrogance and anxiety, Long Cheng actually contacted Zhang Fang's teacher Shi Sishi and asked the old guy to put pressure on Zhang Fang.

The old guy was not polite, sent a message, and directly scolded Zhang Fang.

Where's your brain? 】

[What else will that north wind do except fight?] 】

[Is his level of education comparable to that of any junior student in the academy?] 】

[You actually doubted your own people because of his words]

[With his shallow knowledge, even if he is given another hundred years, he can only stand outside the spaceship, like an uncivilized monkey, unable to get anything useful]

Shi Sishi had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, and he couldn't hide the anger between his words.

Just by seeing these words, Zhang Fang could think of his teacher's angry old face, and the memory of being beaten and scolded in the academy in the past once again surfaced in his heart.

In the academy of Dragon City, respect for teachers is engraved in the bones of every student, and Zhang Fang is no exception.

No matter how hard the teacher scolded, he never spoke back.

This time, he just reluctantly explained slowly, carefully worded, and cautiously responded to every word sent by Shi Sishi.

Su Xia saw his tangled look and asked with a smile, "Did the Dragon City put pressure on you?" ”

Zhang Fang sighed: "Alas, it's mainly the teacher's side." ”

"Don't worry, take your time, the initiative is in our hands."

Su Xia was very relaxed, exploring the spaceship while communicating with Zhang Fang.

Just when those nanobots were about one hundred and thirty meters deeper, the special position that Zhang Fang had mentioned appeared.

[The interference stance becomes stronger, and permission verification is required to continue to go deeper]

[You can force your way in, but you may touch the ship's reaction mechanism, causing damage to the ship's interior]

[In the case of obtaining permission, it is not recommended to continue to go deeper]

【Please use the mechanical core you have】

Seeing the four words of mechanical core, Su Xia's expression froze, this thing was almost forgotten by him.

After defeating An Lan last time, the system rewarded him with a fist-sized silver-white hollow metal ball.

That thing only looks like a traditional Chinese ghost ball, but it's actually a key, and when activated, it can get the permission of the corresponding spaceship.

Su Xia immediately clicked on the inventory, and his gaze moved to the metal ball in the corner.

It's glowing.

The silver-white lines flickered and dimmed, as if they had been summoned by some kind of mystery, and they looked gorgeous and beautiful, like twinkling stars.
