Chapter 3 Unexpected Visitors

This was the first time Gu Chuan had seen the corpse of the Gear Man.

And the first time I saw it, it was a fragment of a crushed body. The fragments are so complete that one can rely on one's imagination to piece together a picture of what the corpse would have looked like when it was still alive.

It is also conceivable that the nameless Cogwheel Man was violently dismantled piece by piece after death, and then scattered into several boxes in this room by the "Splitter", until the Cogwheel Man had evacuated the frontier site of the world's problems, and it was not until the visit of three foreign visitors that its tragic condition was revealed.

Had it not been for this accidental handover, perhaps the discovery of its existence would have been buried forever in this corner of the netherworld.

In the box that Gu Chuan dragged by hand, the dozen or so stones that collided together were still making a never-ending crackling sound. Chu Yun didn't ask, she just felt that everything she found in front of her was what she expected, it was too ordinary.

She nodded contentedly, then looked at the rest of the room.

It's not a simple storage room, and there are some mechanical-like mechanisms, I don't know what they're used for research.

The young man asked the only gear man present with the psychology of getting to the bottom of the matter:

"Zaiyi, you say, in a normal society, will there be such corpses in boxes?"

Zaiyan's face was a little ugly, when he was searching just now, Chu Yun's refutation of the question was now refuted by reality.

"In the event of an accidental casualty of our clan outside of the city, the individual's body will need to be repatriated back to the city, which is an additional task for the death team. Theoretically, there would never be a broken corpse...... I've never seen a corpse like this of my people. ”

The more the lion-headed gear man talked, the more confused he became, and halfway through his speech, he was indignant.

"Who would do that? Could it be true that there are unreported psychopaths at this base? This is a serious state of affairs......"

He stared at the Cogwheel Man's body, and for the first time he saw the Cogwheel Man's bodyβ€”and perhaps a part of his own. He touched his abdomen, feeling the workings of structures he didn't know existed.

The movements of the psychopathic cogwheel man are unpredictable, and it is possible to hide in the ship for his own purposes.

"It doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is that the ship may be unsafe...... If there are crazy gear people who are unwilling to cooperate, it will be troublesome. Gu Chuan is not afraid of difficulties, afraid of indifferent troubles, "Let's go out to eat first, rest for a while, and then search the boat directly." The structure of this ship is in a glass book, isn't it? ”

"Yes, I can try to map out a complete path."

Jae-chan nodded.

"Good!" The young man in the light said calmly, "Also, I found something. ”

He dragged the box in front of him, revealing the crackling stones to the squirting stones.

These glass-like crystals, under the light, in the vibration, glow with beautiful colorful colors.

Chu Yun recognized at a glance that this was the earthquake stone used by the herald of the Central Prohibition Palace, at least the two were extremely similar, and Zai Yi was slightly happy:

"Yes, this is the substance of the child, I'll see what is written on the manual later, and ponder."

On the Dead or Alive, the reserves of the child and mother substances are not in a decimal place.

Three hundred predetermined cogwheel people, according to the design plan of the World Problem Doctor, at the peak of the peak, about 100 cogwheel people need to rely on the child and mother material to enter and exit at the same time. Even if the detachment is different, it is necessary to prepare more than 20 pieces of sub-parent materials.

They carefully withdrew the Dead or Alive with the storage boxes of the child and mother substances, and locked the shipyard gates.

They were going to rest for a day or two, and by the way, they learned a lot about the ship.

The three of them had already chosen an empty centralized break room for the Gear Man to be their temporary living place. Then Gu Chuan rushed to the storage room in a hurry, ready to unpack the treasure of the gear man.

Most of the things, they don't know very well, but some of them are also in Sunset City, and they are also in another world that he knows well. For example, there were three material boxes containing the feathers of birds and beasts, and when Gu Chuan opened them and saw the fluffy feathers flying inside, he was surprised:

"Zaiyi, where do you need these downs?"

"There is one type of shell that is used in the rite of passage, and one type of shell is feathered." Zai replied, "Occasionally, it is used as a buffer for certain twenty-six types of software. ”

"Then we're going to use these things to do a new role."

He said solemnly:

"This function is called the bedding, and it is a cushion that people use to rest."

"I will do the same." Chu Yun, who heard their conversation, found a refrigerated meat box, "Zaiyi, where do you need this meat?" ”

Zai Yi really couldn't figure out the strange interaction between the two people. He thought that these people seemed to have no pity for the flesh of creatures that were also made of protein, and he said:

"The role of the fat of these animal meats in each of the problem kingdoms is not very clear, and the world problem may be considering the use of fat as a way to store general energy?"

"Oh, we're going to use this stuff for a new purpose."

Chu Yun's face was not shocked, and a pair of gray eyes flashed:

"This action is called eating, and it is the process of transferring energy from the body of one animal to the body of another."

The two men laughed silly.

Zai Yan didn't know why these different beings were like this.

He said suspiciously:

"You don't need to inform me of these things, you can decide for yourself."

"Okay, okay!"

The two of them happily carried the treasure they had found back to their temporary resting room.

In the base of the Cogwheel Man, there is no need to make a fire, and Zai Yan shows another means of making a fire. It was the forged steel room next to the shipyard. To forge matter, the Cogwheel Man used an extraordinary means of making fire.

At first glance, it looks like a circular furnace made of ceramic, with a small disk in the center, on which ripples of light constantly beat.

"It can be used to control fire." "When the ripple lines are in a straight line, the temperature is about the boiling point of the water. ”

Gears are usually used when the disk is corrugated in an ultra-high frequency dense grid, and the temperature of the round furnace is at the vaporization point of the chameleon.

But today, this round stove is about to usher in its new mission - variable temperature oven.

"Can we move it out?"

Gu Chuan used the magnetic needle mechanically connected by the gear on the side to stir up the ripples on the disk, and then put the skewered meat in the smelting furnace under the round furnace, and saw that the meat that was still fresh in the ice storage gradually emitted a roasted aroma of fat.

It's a lot better than making your own fire!

He spoke up.

"It's really useful, and heat can be very useful in our answers to the world's problems."

From the perspective of research, Zai Yan seriously considered the proposal of the young man:

"However, it was difficult for the three of us to complete the disassembly of this unit. It is the only one stove, the large box that can transmit the temperature below, and the variable temperature control needle above, which are all carefully selected by the world's question answering team to cooperate with this furnace, and they are all indispensable. If I want to disassemble it, I need to go back to the ......."

It turns out that the gear man of the world's problems is probably willing to take action, as long as he can answer the question. However, in the current conflicted gearman society, Zai himself feels that it is difficult to find support.

"That's a pity."

Gu Chuan said with regret.

Today there is no light of fire, only light that shines through the glass.

The light that came out of the glass could be changed, and the loaders gently swirled a mechanism of the Gear Man that they had never known before, so that the originally bright and cool light turned into a dull warm color, like a sleeping dream in the twilight of the stinging solar terms.

Hatsumo lay on a makeshift bag made of down, as if he had returned to his former bed. She shuddered suddenly, and looked up at Gu Chuan, who was seriously studying the ship's design glass book, to make sure that she hadn't returned to her original place.

The glass book was reflected on the ground, and words and images flowed through the young man's eyes like a stream.

Zai sat on the side, answering the young man's questions about sentence reading, while still thinking about the corpse of the gear man.

Gu Chuan read and read, and found a lot of things that were not the same as his guess.

"The official name of this ship turned out to be the Fourth Ark-class ship of the Eighth Question Kingdom?"

It was the last time he pronounced the name.

"Yes, that's how the Ph.D. in World Problems should have been named. This is our general number. ”

But who engraved that sentence? I thought that was its name......"

The young man said with his eyes wandering.

"That sentence......" Zaiyi remembered the etching of the metal, and he tried to give an answer, "which one could be...... Gear people with mental disorder tendencies carved it privately! ”

The average gear man doesn't do such a boring thing.

Gu Chuan was a little difficult to speak.

But Chu Yun asked the young man:

"What did you call this ship in your mind?"

At that time, the young man remembered some stories that did not belong to this world, and said solemnly:

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to Exorcise the Demon Divine Shuttle."

"Ah......h

This long list of names confused both Hatsuyun and Zaiyu, and they seriously thought about the meaning of the name, only to feel that it was big and big, and mysterious and mysterious.

"Haha, I lied to you, I named it according to that sentence, and I originally secretly called it death or life in my heart."

It's a simple name.

Death is the most common original name. Zai Yan knows that in many foreign societies, death is used as a name. The poison of an animal can poison people, it is called the beast of death, a tree will flow venom, it is called the tree of death, if the thunder and lightning in the sky kill people and cause fire, it is even more death to kill people.

There were deaths everywhere.

"This kind of thing has always been according to the wishes of men." "If you want to call that way, I won't be able to stop you." ”

The young man laughed merrily. He closed the glass book and prepared to fall asleep on the large quilt of down.

Zai Yan thought a little more, and he said in a serious whisper:

"In this way, in the solution to the world's problems, we do not represent the absolute intention of our people, and the name of the ship, as a meaningful designation, if it is called according to the regulations, will reveal the situation of our people, and now it is not so good."

The substance was still beating happily in the box.

The mother and child substances are taken out one by one, placed on the carpet in separate categories, and after they have cooled down, they are put into the box one by one.

By the time he had done this, the two strangers had fallen asleep peacefully.

This lion-headed gear man couldn't help but stare at Gu Chuan and Chu Yun's peaceful sleeping posture for a long time.

Their comfort and obedience made Zai Yan feel at a loss.

"There are no rules...... It's as if everything is simple, pure, and spontaneous...... Isn't that what it is...... Beasts? ”

He thought in silence, and then slowly sank into the dreamless rest that he should have been silent as a cogwheel man. But this time it was different, he dreamed of a lion running with people.

At that time, the moonlight was still alone on the boundless clouds.

For beings within the clouds, the shape of the moon is never visible. When you can't see the moon, it's often called obscure.

Obscure means the end of the moonlight.

The tower-like clouds, the whale-like clouds of the general size, and the small scale-like clouds all split and merge above the deep netherworld. Heaven and earth are connected by clouds, and the clouds are torn apart in the wind in all kinds of strange outlines. The clouds change endlessly, and the halos created by strange reflections become more and more brilliant.

At that time, a small black shadow, following the travelers all the way, took advantage of this moment, imitated their behavior, and opened the door of the underground base, which was so rounded that it stumbled two steps up the steps, and then rolled all the way down.

It began to carefully search for what it had seen before before it found the discarded pot.

By the time Gu Chuan woke up from the rambling dream, Zai Chuan had already spotted the unexpected visitor and stared at it cautiously and cautiously.

The young man and the maiden drank some hot soup, and held two small ceramic cups, and when they came to Zaiyan's side, they heard Zaiyan say:

"It can be dangerous!"

The two men boldly walked forward, and when they saw this thing, they let out a cry of surprise:

"It's the egg labeled as prey!"

"Indeed, I remember...... You seem to be calling ...... Eggs. ”

Gu Chuan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember the name of this guy, so he only called out the nickname given to it by the group of aliens who hunted it.

This white and tender boiled egg, somehow, ran from the alien prison to the big pot they originally used to cook rice and soup, and sat upright. When it heard Gu Chuan's name, it said gloomy and worried:

"My name is Chaos, you can call me Mr. Chaos, it took me a lot of effort to catch up with you."

His words woke up Gu Chuan. Gu Chuan hurriedly checked the entrance and exit with Zai Yi to make sure that there were no problems before returning.

"Aren't you the prey of some race? How did you escape? ”

At that time, Hatsuyun was asking Mr. Chaos.

"Yes and no, I didn't escape. I was hoping that they would eat me quickly, but they said that it was too strange for me to speak, that I should be some kind of cherished prey, and that they were going to sell me to the Cogwheel Man. Chaos had a headache, and its only small eye in the center narrowed, "It didn't sell yet, and the group of people went crazy for some reason, a lot of people were stealing, a lot of people were moving, a lot of people were guarding, a lot of people were fighting." I thought someone was going to take me away, but no one looked down on me, and it was really weird, and I ended up buried in the sand that fell from the sky. ”

"Why do you want to be eaten?"

Gu Chuan, who happened to hear their conversation, came over and asked.

"If you are eaten, it is the most innocent good death, and according to my genetic memory, I can take the first four rounds of ten rounds when I am reincarnated. Now, I feel that my life is too miserable, and I beg you to eat me and let me get out of this strange sea of sand, good people! ”

In the end, Mr. Chaos, who was already pleading, took out the flint out of nowhere, and knocked it out of the pot to give birth to some sparks.

It's a pity that there is no flammable, and the spark touched the iron pot and the ground, and quickly flashed out, and disappeared at all.
