The whole empire is urging me to marry again [Interstellar]

"Here...the underground magma is extracted every 24 hours as energy to maintain the operation of the device?"

I carefully observed the red-hot metal gully on the surface of the device, and finally understood why king worms appeared in the mine tunnel, and why the eggs were hatched in a 24-hour cycle.

These king worms originally lived in this huge natural mine, but someone later built such a device in this place to extract magma every 24 hours, which also disturbed the biological habits of the king worms and made them assimilate with the device up.

The overlords feed on metal, and the absolute heat brought by the device to extract magma will vaporize the metal in the mine pit, making it impossible for the overlords to ingest it, which may cause a large number of overlords to "starve to death" here.

——If you don’t want to “starve to death”, you can only devour the same kind. The bigger the king worms who are unable to leave the mine pit, the more serious the phenomenon of killing each other.

And the smaller king worms that leave the bottom of the pit will also face the tragedy of starving to death because they cannot absorb enough metal on the surface.

But they have recognized the smell of human devices over the years. Whether it is spaceships, mechas, or even robots, they are all artificially manufactured, and they are also objects that the king insects have hated for thousands of years.

No wonder every king worm we met had such vicious eyes.

"No, there must be something here that can scare the king worm, and would rather flee than eat the metal on this device... Could it be the hundreds of billions of energy units detected by the mecha?" I was distressed. After grabbing a handful of hair, even the king worm is afraid of it. It must be a very dangerous thing, and it may be more lethal when used against humans.

Sometimes the instinct of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is stronger than that of humans, and I can also vaguely feel the deterrent power of the "hundred billion level" inside, and I am not sure whether to go in with the handsome guy.

On the contrary, the handsome guy is more decisive than me, and has already controlled the mech to enter the door of the metal device.

"Handsome guy, aren't you worried about the mechanism inside?" I asked him.

"It's better than waiting for the device to stop working and being torn apart by the king worm who hasn't calmed down." The handsome guy was still in the mood to tease at this time.

But I don't want to stay outside, even if the king worm calms down, the feeling of having nowhere to set foot on the ground is too bad, and I feel a little hairy in my heart.

Anyway, if you want to establish a station on the haze star, you always have to figure out what this device is, and you will have to experience it sooner or later.Stretching one's head and retracting one's head is also a one-shot, as long as you are with the handsome guy, you have nothing to be afraid of. At worst, you will be buried under the magma with him, and it will be considered as an early joint burial.

Hee hee hee, even though I said that, I'm not worried at all that I will really die here. Even the group of king worms outside can't really threaten us.

As soon as the mecha entered the device, it was no longer affected by the earth-shattering earthquake outside. I found that even the air here seemed to be fresher than outside, and the temperature was not as hot as I imagined. The space inside It seems to be specially modified to allow humans to live comfortably.

I glanced at the handsome guy: "Why don't you come out for a walk?"

The handsome guy thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "It's not too convenient to operate the mecha here, so it's better to go down for a walk."

While talking, he helped to tighten my protective clothing, making sure that every inch of my skin was not exposed to the air before opening the mecha.

I walked in the passageway with the width of the corridor of an ordinary building with the detection instrument. There was a row of white lights at the top of the passageway. The walls were covered with metal textures, which looked exactly the same as those on the outside of the device.

Neither the handsome guy nor I learned mechs and mechanics. We don’t know what these things are for, and we dare not touch them casually. We can only walk along the long corridor to the depths of the device.

Fortunately, this passage can go straight all the way to the end, and it didn't take us long to reach the end of the passage.

A small high platform stands in the center, which is very similar to the appearance of the whole device. There is a hexagonal device on the high platform, and there is even a trace of white smoke around the device, which is a bit like the dry ice used to create the effect on the stage.

But the instrument showed that it was real cold air, and the hexagonal device was probably a relatively large cryogenic device.

The high-heat magma is used as energy, but it is used to maintain a low-temperature device?

I shrugged my shoulders and was about to go up to look, but the handsome guy took a step ahead.He pulled me behind him, climbed up himself, and pressed the button on the front of the device.

The device started slowly, and the hexagonal cover was opened, but there were six sleeping cabins inside. From the transparent shell, people were lying in these six sleeping cabins.

I couldn't help frowning: "Dead or alive?"

"It seems to be dead." The handsome guy also frowned, and he was trying to study the data on the display screen of the sleep cabin. "All the indicators show that there are no signs of life."

"That's why they lay in it when they were about to die?" I shook my head, trying to figure it out, "It's impossible for the six of them to come here to hide from the world, or to be buried together. They must have something to do with this device." What does it matter, these six people are responsible for guarding the device."

"I'm about the same as you guessed." The handsome guy's expression became a little unpredictable. He even opened one of the sleeping cabins and felt inside.

"..." I looked at him inexplicably, "Handsome guy, you are...too harsh, right?"

"Don't think about it." The handsome guy looked disgusted and patient, and he seemed unwilling to touch these corpses that had been dead for an unknown amount of time. "I want to see if they have left any clues."

"So did you find it?" I asked.

"No, these people didn't leave any terminals or letters behind, so we can't get their identity information." The handsome guy sighed slightly and closed the sleep hatch again.

My eyes suddenly stayed on the hatch cover, and I couldn't help walking up, gently touching a decorative ginkgo leaf painted on the corner of the cover.

I turned to look at the handsome guy: "Do you think this thing looks familiar?"

The handsome guy frowned and thought for a while, then couldn't hide his surprise: "Isn't this the symbol of the Imperial Police?!"

"Yes, it's the symbol of the Imperial Police now." I smiled softly, "But thousands of years ago, it was the team logo of the Imperial Ginkgo Fleet. The Aura Empire likes to use the names of flowers and grasses for fleets and buildings. Do you know the habit of naming places such as streets and streets?"

Such as Golden Rose Street, Rose and Star Palace.

Another example is Grand Duchess Odaisy's Third Fleet, which is actually called the "Lily Fleet". One of the special operations teams directly under Odaisy is all women, and the members of that team call themselves "Lily Knights".

"The textbook never said that the empire has a ginkgo fleet." The handsome guy folded his arms and stared at me suspiciously.

I showed nostalgia and said with a smile: "Because this period of history was erased by His Majesty Arthur, people at that time kept silent and dared not leave a word to reveal to future generations—the fleet of Prince Charles back then was called the Ginkgo Fleet."

"But..." The handsome guy shook his head, even more confused, "If His Majesty Arthur turned against Prince Charles, why did he still use the ginkgo leaf as a symbol of the Imperial Police? Could it be that the later kings didn't know this history and chose it unintentionally?" Ginkgo biloba?"

"Who said they turned against each other?" I smiled and winked at the handsome guy, "These two brothers are in a good relationship. After Prince Charles left the empire, His Majesty not only incorporated his remnant troops into the Imperial Police, but also preserved Charles. The prince and Admiral Michael's 'love crystallization' even planned to cultivate that fertilized egg as his heir... It's a pity that His Majesty didn't live to that age."

The handsome guy's eyebrows were almost knit together, and he stared at me deeply: "What's going on here? Didn't Prince Charles betray the empire?"

"Handsome guy, why don't you care about the epic love story between His Royal Highness and the general of the empire?" In the end, he didn't focus on the right things.

"I'll talk about that later." The handsome man waved his hand, as if he had no interest in the unknown love history of the two historical celebrities. "You answer my previous question first."

Alas, why doesn't the handsome guy gossip at all?

I could only sigh and said, "Prince Charles did 'betray' the empire, but he 'betrayed' at that time, and he was carrying out His Majesty Arthur's order."

It's not easy for His Royal Highness, who leaves his hometown to work outside alone, lives in two places with his loved one, and bears a thousand years of infamy. Few people remember him after his death. Handsome guy, you really don't want to hear about his feelings History?

Well, looking at the handsome guy's expression, I knew he was different from me, and he couldn't get the point of pornographic news.

The handsome guy caught the point of my words: "Treason by order? All actions of Prince Charles were ordered by His Majesty Arthur? Why?"

"What do you think it is for?" I asked with a smile.

The handsome guy pondered for a long time, then raised his head suddenly, his eyes were astonishingly bright: "In order to prolong the life of the empire! Prosperity will decline after a long time. If His Majesty Arthur expands the territory and accumulates wealth, future generations will inevitably lose their ambition and indulge in pleasure. If Arthur It’s okay to say that the successor of His Majesty Sir is a little capable, but if he is just a mediocre person, the Oya Empire will be destroyed within 50 years.”

The territory of His Majesty Arthur’s era covers the three most important star fields for human activities, the Oya Empire, the Interstellar Federation, and the Gray Zone. It has not been in operation for a long time and its foundation is not stable. It is impossible for any ruler to control these three star fields. .

When His Majesty Arthur dies, these three places will inevitably be in chaos. It is hard to say whether there will be an Oya Empire by then.

On the contrary, if it is deployed in advance, the development of the situation will be different. At least the Austro-Asian Empire will be safe and secure.

In the gray area, Prince Charlie's operation can not only use the geographical advantage to monitor every move of the Interstellar Federation, but also rush to help the Empire when necessary, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that this guy became a star thief halfway through his business, which was a bit unexpected.

But generally speaking, I am not surprised that the handsome guy has guessed about seven or eight percent of His Majesty Arthur's thoughts.

"I still have a question, why does His Majesty Arthur have no children?" The handsome guy looked at me in confusion, "If he has his own heir, there is no need to save the 'artificial fertilized eggs' of Prince Charles and Admiral Michael, right? ?”

I know what handsome guy means. If His Majesty Arthur doesn't like women, he can have children with men, just like Prince Charles and Admiral Michael.

With the biotechnology of the empire, it is a matter of minutes for two men to have a child. There is no difference between artificially synthesized fertilized eggs and naturally combined ones. Even because of genetic selection, the cultivated adults are smarter than ordinary people.

Indeed, for an emperor or even a country, establishing an heir is a very important matter, which is about the balance of the nobility and the stability of the country.

but……

I took a deep breath, and looked at the handsome guy with regret: "Your Majesty, he can't find a partner. He is too demanding. He doesn't like anyone, and he refuses to let go." I rubbed the corners of my eyes pitifully, "If you I was born a hundred and eighty years later, and I will die alone!"

The author has something to say: Charlie: Ge Ge, we are really brothers and sisters.I got separated right after I got married, and you never got married in your whole life...Which one of us is worse?

Arthur: ...

Shou: I'm married, the two upstairs don't need to envy me, hehehehe!

Charlie & Arthur & Michael: So angry.
