scavenger's flower

In the vast universe, colorful celestial bodies are soaked in the boundless darkness, like fruit soaked in white wine, undergoing mysterious changes.The taste of the fruit gradually seeps into the liquor, and the brilliance of the celestial body gradually smudges the eternal darkness; the liquor slowly corrodes the fruit, and the universe slowly engulfs the celestial body.

With a "bang", or maybe a "bang", an aged celestial body exploded. Hundreds of millions of years later, its light entered the eyes of people on earth and became a star in their eyes.

The universe is amazing.

A man with black hair and brown eyes stared blankly at the universe outside the spaceship.

"boom".

In the cabin of the spaceship, a group of men who looked big and three were clinking glasses, and the pulp soaked in the glasses was shaken to this side, bobbing up and down.They are the crew of this spaceship, and a group of people are talking loudly, with dirty words in every sentence.Some people sat on the console, threw up the knife in their hands as if performing acrobatics, and caught it firmly. This kind of game of wandering on the edge of danger made the group of drinking people even more excited.

In the interstellar era, this kind of spaceship can be regarded as a relatively common facility, but ordinary people still cannot afford the purchase and maintenance costs of this kind of equipment.So if you want to go to see the universe, people generally choose to find an aerospace company, which is the same as people going abroad by plane in the electronic age.But recently, due to interstellar wars, this kind of business has decreased. What's more, there are only a small number of people who spend money to go to space for a walk. Now there is no planet for entertainment. It costs a lot of money to go to space for a walk. Circle, thanks ah.

But this is not a tourist boat, but a smuggling|smuggling boat.Mining some resources from other interstellar worlds and selling them to private individuals, and occasionally taking some people on Earth to go to specific planets quietly.

Today, for example, the dark-haired man standing by the window is their special transport item.

"Hey, wife, no, we didn't drink. You take good care of the baby at home, and I'll go home after I finish this order." The man had a wife-slave smile on his face, and the younger brothers around him wanted to cover his lips. Mouth, how can you say something like a death line casually.

In 2120, the earth has entered the interstellar era, and the global language has long been unified. The earth has established the earth federation and adopted the separation of powers system.Originally, the only difference between people from various countries was their appearance. Those who looked more Western were called Hispanics, and those who looked more Eastern were called Eastern Americans.

The Dong-born man who had been standing in front of the glass window took off his earphones, turned around and walked towards the group of people. Everyone turned their heads when they heard his footsteps.

The man who hadn't spoken since boarding the spaceship finally spoke, but the content of his words...

"Brother, come and drink, everyone is waiting for you." He walked to the man on the phone and said loudly into the communicator.

"No, my wife, listen to my explanation, my wife!" The interstellar age communication can be directly connected to human ears, so others can't hear what the elder brother's wife said, and only see the elder brother hang up the phone with a dead face.

The brothers around me wanted to snigger, but they didn’t dare, so they could only look down at their feet. The shoes didn’t look like cowhide shoes. The shop owner couldn’t be lying to me, could he? !

"You little bastard!" The eldest brother rolled up his sleeves and picked up an empty wine bottle beside him, wanting to have a fight with the young man. The slender young man of Eastern descent raised his hand and surrendered without hesitation. He didn't have integrity, but the ferocious appearance of the man in front of him didn't seem to frighten him, and his face was still calm.

"Tom, don't be angry, I can help you and your wife explain. But drinking alcohol on the spaceship does have certain dangers..."

The young man began to seriously popularize the dangers of alcoholism with the whole ship, and the crew were stunned. The voice of the young man reminded people of bells. The voice is crisp and ringing continuously, but it is not annoying; some people even thought that if their teacher had the same voice as this young man, he might study hard; .

"Shut up for me, I'm not Tom!" The eldest brother put down the wine bottle in his hand heavily, and a trace of residual wine at the bottom of the bottle was shaken out and spilled on the ground.

"I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of the Hispanic, Brother Levine? In terms of etiquette, I should declare my name first. My name is..."

The young man looked up at the ceiling: "My name is Qi Xingfu."

"Coincidentally, this spaceship seems to be made by a company named Qi. He can't be the young master of the Qi family, right?" A younger brother at the side looked at the well-dressed Qi Xingxing and whispered to his companion.

Qi Xingxing thought that this was not a coincidence. He borrowed the surname Qi from the character Qi on the ceiling.

"Qi Lucky... Dong Yi's name is just weird... Hurry up and explain it to my wife!" The eldest brother raised his fist, his strong muscles swollen, as if he wanted to stretch the clothes on his arms.

Qi Xingfu looked at the muscles on Brother Levin's arm, then looked at his own, and sighed slightly in his heart. He lifted up various experimental materials hundreds of times a day. Couldn't this be regarded as an exercise for the arm? Why did he Can't build muscle?

Before Levine dialed the communication, he gave Qi Xingxing a hard look: "If you say something that shouldn't be said, don't want your little arms and legs."

Qi Xing nodded obediently, watching Levin turn on the communication, and the brothers on the spaceship covered their mouths tightly.

"Why, are you trying to piss me off?" The person on the other end of the communication line answered the phone angrily.

"My sister-in-law is me. I was joking just now." Qi Xingfu pretended to be Levin's younger brother, and when he lied, his tone was well-behaved and serious, which made the pregnant woman on the other end of the phone not so angry, but still Some were dubious: "Did Levin force you to say that?"

"No, wife, am I that kind of person?" Levin hurriedly defended himself.

"No, sister-in-law, although the elder brother looks a bit fierce, he never bullies his subordinates." Qi Xing praised Levin without any trace, and the sister-in-law on the other end of the phone was very happy, and Levin also loosened his grip He frowned, with a smug look on his face.

In the end, the sister-in-law didn't say whether she believed it or not, but her tone was pretty good when she hung up the phone, so Levin didn't hesitate.

After the people on the spaceship lifted the alarm, they chatted with Qi Xingxing, who didn't seem so difficult to get along with, after all, idleness is idleness.

"Qi Lucky, what were you listening to with your headphones on?" This is the real Tom.

"I'm listening to the sound of the universe." Qi Xing felt that it seemed too artistic to say so. He cut off the connection of the earphone, connected it to the playback device of the spaceship, and released a sound that is difficult for human instruments to reproduce.

This section of sound is somewhat like the sound of wind rushing out of a deep cave, and some are like high-speed airflow. It makes people think that it was secretly recorded at the ignition port when the spacecraft took off.But if you listen carefully, it doesn't sound like it, because the sound sounds too open. When the sound enters the head along the ears, it is like the wind in the wilderness blowing from a distance.

No, just the wilderness has no way of creating that feeling.People's minds can imagine a wilderness, but the imagined wilderness can't hold the voice, it should be a more boundless, desolate and lonely place than the wilderness.

Only a truly vast place could have such an unrestricted sound.

Boundless universe.

No wonder it is called the voice of the universe, the people on the spaceship thought to themselves, and their hearts were a little shocked.Such a boatload of masters travels in the universe every day, but they have never thought about what the universe is and what the voice of the universe is.

"Where did this sound... come from?" Levin asked, he wanted to let his child listen to it when his child was born.

“这个声音源自于13亿年前一个双黑洞系统的合并。合并所产生的引力波信号，经过13亿年的漫长旅行，于2015年9月14日抵达地球，被LIGO的两个探测器以7毫秒的时间差先后捕捉到。”齐幸运将100年前的一项名为诺贝尔物理学奖的内容一字不差的复述了出来。

"13 billion years, was there anyone on Earth 13 billion years ago?" The big guys looked at each other.

Qi Xingxing shook his head seeing how they were shocked: "Not yet, but there may be other life forms in the universe, and then they became extinct."

A group of people chatted from the origin of life. Some people think that human beings have existed on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. Some people think that the universe is like a super big city, and every planet is a county. , a group of big bosses have many cognition problems, showing their ignorance unscrupulously.

Qi Xingfu didn't interrupt them, just listened to their miraculous remarks so seriously, nodded from time to time, and even followed their words occasionally, making a group of people laugh.Of course, Qi Xing will also take the opportunity to tell them some correct views, just like a little teacher.The people on the spaceship found that although Qi Xingxing looked young, he knew quite a lot.

The discussion among the people on board continued, and the topic continued to which region had the most beautiful women, and the occasional naughty jokes made a group of people more and more excited.Qi Xingxing, who couldn't participate in the discussion, looked down at the wine that was spilled on the ground by Boss Levin just now, feeling a little uncomfortable.Although the current metal of the spaceship uses seamless welding technology, this wine will not have any impact on the core system of the spaceship, but Qi Xing, who likes to organize things neatly, thinks that stain is terrible.

He took out a tissue from his pocket, knelt down|slowly wiped off the wine stains, and there was a smell of high-end wine in his nose.

The spaceship suddenly became quiet, and the person who was originally sitting on the console got off the console cautiously when Qi Xing straightened up.

"What's wrong?" Qi Xing threw the tissue into the garbage pipe and looked at them.

"It's okay, it's okay." Several elders shook their heads, they just didn't expect Qi Xing to squat down to do this.Although the idea that all people and all occupations are equal is spread in the society, many "upper people" still look down on their services.So when they saw the brightly dressed Qi Xing squatting down to wipe the wine mark, they felt a little uncomfortable, but also a little happy.

Probably because I have experienced the true feeling of equality. The slogans boasted on the radio every day are far less realistic than a small act.

"You seem to be a good person." Brother Levin praised Qi Xing.

"Thank you."

"Please note that the spaceship has left the galaxy star field and is about to sail into the garbage star field. Please put the garbage that needs to be discarded into the garbage pipe for delivery." Under the sound of the voice, the atmosphere inside the spaceship fell into silence. Qi Xingyun obviously felt the changes in the expressions of several people, and he clenched the handle of his suitcase a little nervously.

Is it still coming after all?

He noticed just now that the wine that the few people on board drank was a relatively high-end drink, which could not be afforded according to their income, so smuggling should only be their sideline business, what they really engaged in should be other occupations... such as robbers.

Facing such a few big guys with no strength, if he wants to resist, there is no other possibility except for knocking down a person with a suitcase and then being knocked to the ground.Just facing the glass and staring at the universe in a daze, I just wanted to take a good look at this world before dying.

Until when Levin's wife called him, Qi Xingxing realized that emotional offensive might be a breakthrough, so he decided to give it a go.

Now is the time to test the results.

Qi Xun could feel his heart beating fast, but he still tried his best to keep calm, did not show panic, and kept a stiff smile on his face.Anyway, he was kind of grateful that these people were willing to chat with him, making his experience on the ship a pleasant one.

Levin looked at Qi Xingfu's tense expression, restrained the expression on his face, stood in front of Qi Xingfu and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are indeed very smart, and you have noticed it."

"Then let me ask, what chance do I have of surviving?"

"zero."

"I can give you all my property. You just need to send me to the planet Taal as agreed, or any planet where humans are stationed. The battlefield is ruthless, and I may die at any time." Qi Xun decided Struggling to the death, even if you can't beat it, it's always okay to try to convince the opponent.

Levin shook his head: "You have misunderstood us. We are not robbers. Someone paid for your life."

It seems that such a short period of time cannot bring any emotional distance closer.Qi Xingyun thought for a while, put down his suitcase, took out his notebook and sat on the ground, and began to write a series of formulas that ordinary people could not understand: "Then please give me a little more time, and you can solve my problems on the return trip." , I will not waste your resources."

This group of people are habitual offenders. They have seen a lot of hoarse and hideous faces of people who know that they are about to die, but this is the first time they have seen Qi Xing such a calm person, and he does not look like he is writing a suicide note. .

"Hey, Lucky Qi, what are you doing?"

"I'm writing about a result of my new invention, and you can send this to the Academy of Sciences."

"Academy of Science? Why don't you, a scientist, stay on the earth and go to the battlefield?"

Qi Xingxing stroked his hair in embarrassment: "My goal this time was to go to the planet Taal to communicate with the prisoners of war in Mengyun, and to develop a language translator through its language rules. Only when we can communicate can we talk about peace. "

A group of people were amused by Qi Xingfu's words: "Talk about peace? It seems that the great scientists are for the peace of the universe!"

"Well, I just want to do what I can."

Jimmy, who was wielding a knife just now, said in an unclear tone: "I thought you Lord and faction were cowards who could only shout slogans in vain."

The main war faction and the main peace faction are two factions that have differentiated from the Earth Federation political party since the beginning of the interstellar war.The main combat faction believes that the battle with Meng Yunxing must continue, and the so-called peace talks are nothing but naive illusions.The peace faction believes that even if life forms are different, they can communicate and coexist peacefully, and they call for an end to interstellar wars.

Most of the human beings are the main fighters, because under the previous cultural exaggeration with a sense of crisis, human beings feel that all the higher civilizations in the universe will suppress the lower civilizations, so human beings need to preemptively strike.Moreover, human beings are in an advantageous position in the struggle with the Mengyun Stars, and the news of victory is always inspiring, so the team of the main combat faction is constantly expanding.They called a group of peacemakers the Madonna.

Unfortunately, Qi Xingxing is one of the Virgin Mary.The reason of his mother is simple, life should not be buried in senseless war.

Qi Xing didn't mind being ridiculed by Jimmy. He lowered his head and wrote while discussing with them in a dying struggle: "Do you really think about letting me go? The Mengyun people are very beautiful. Maybe you can find them after peace. A beautiful Mengyun star as the object."

The negotiation of leaving only one hairpin to the other party seemed insincere, but Levin stared at the hairpin on Qi Xingxing's head without moving: "Aren't you afraid?"

Seeing that Levin started chatting with himself instead of acting directly, Qi Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid, but I know that struggling is useless. Instead of struggling and dying in pain, it's better to hurry up and do something useful. I When I went out, Ading, my electronic housekeeper, asked me to bring an electric baton. But I thought it was for a little girl to guard against wolves, so I didn’t bring it. If I did, I might still be able to struggle.”

"Hahahaha, are you scientists so interesting?" A group of people were amused by Qi Xingfu's words. This is probably the most harmonious kidnapper and victim.

The kidnapper's words made Qi Xingxing give up, leaving a deep ink mark on the notebook.

"No, my father is a cold scientist, not interesting at all."

"Then why do you look so funny?"

"Probably because we are afraid that if our father and son are both so cold, we will freeze to death at home. However, the child will always admire his father unconsciously, because he is now a scientist."

The younger brothers squatted beside them and looked at the notes they couldn't understand. Just now, Jimmy imitated a cold-faced scientist and said for the peace of the universe, which caused a group of people to burst into laughter.

Levin on the side folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Qi Xingxing quietly without smiling, and gradually the younger brothers stopped laughing.

The environment on the spaceship became depressing again, except for the sound of the machine running, the only sound left was the "rustling" sound of Qi Xingxing's pen writing on the paper.

"It was the Academy of Sciences who asked someone to kill you. Are you sure you want us to send it there?" Levin asked in a deep voice. Tom on the side showed hesitation. The boss broke the rules in the industry, so how could he reveal the identity of his employer.

Qi Xingfu's pen fell to the ground with a "clack", and rolled along the terrain to a corner out of reach. A group of people saw him sitting there with his head bowed, unable to see the expression on his face clearly, thinking that he might meet at any time Go to your own notebook, and then wait there in a daze to die.

But what they didn't expect was that Qi Xingxing took out another pen and continued to write formulas and notes after just being dazed for a while.

"you……"

"Science belongs to human civilization." Qi Xingfu knew what the other party wanted to ask. To be honest, when he was about to face death, he heard such news, and he couldn't figure out his feelings for the Academy of Sciences.

The younger brothers have done so many single tasks, but they have never met someone who was so calm before death, even so indifferent to their enemies.

"Don't you hate the Academy of Sciences? Or if you give us more money, we will help you kill him!" Tom wanted to stop the boss just now, but he forgot the rules at this moment, and was glared at by Levin.

"It's not so much hatred...it's more doubtful. Forget it, scientists are weirdos." Qi Xing suddenly stopped writing as if thinking of something, took out earphones and musical instruments from his pocket, and handed them to Levin. Qi Xingxing used it to play the sound of the universe to the people on the spaceship just now.

"A gift for your unborn child."

At this moment, Levin moved. He roughly closed Qi Xingfu's suitcase, threw his pen and paper into it, and carried Qi Xingxing on his shoulders.

"Levin, please wait a little longer. It is estimated that I can finish writing in three minutes and 57 seconds." Qi Lucky's player fell to the ground.

Facing the imminent death, Qi Xingxing struggled on Levin's shoulders. He felt that every nerve in his body was tense now.

Levin ignored his yelling, kicked the button of the central garbage pipe with his foot and stuffed Qi Xing into it.Then he threw the suitcase into his arms, and gave him a can of emergency oxygen from the side.

When Qi Xing was lying in some spacious garbage pipes, he subconsciously observed his surroundings. There was no blood. It seemed that they didn't often kill people in garbage pipes.

There are garbage pipes of various thicknesses on a spacecraft for the convenience of people, and the central garbage pipe is used to collect garbage on the spacecraft and load bulky garbage.

"Good luck, Qi Lucky." With a complicated expression on his face, Levin closed the garbage pipe.Qi Xingfu faintly heard the gentle female voice of the system.

"Garbage delivery is about to take place, please keep the garbage pipe closed during this period."

Then Qi Xingxing felt a sense of weightlessness as he fell vertically. He put on the emergency oxygen tube in a little panic, and hugged his suitcase tightly. The fear of not knowing his fate and future made him lose consciousness after all.Before he passed out, he was thinking, do I still have a chance to wake up?

On the spaceship, Tom looked at Levin strangely: "Brother, the employer's request is to kill him."

"Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, so please be lucky." Levin took the wine, picked up the earphones, put them on, and stood in front of the glass window of the spaceship and looked out.

Outside the window, there is a sea of ​​deep purple stars, dazzlingly dazzling, incomparable to any jewel, but Qi Xingxing taught them just now that this may be the light of hundreds of millions of years ago, but it is only now transmitted here.

Qi Xing is really a strange person.No one had ever taught him that before, but he could teach his kids that.

"But we can't afford to offend..."

"Then you kill him?"

"This..." Tom hesitated a little. When he was dealing with some people for the Earth Federation before, he would only feel happy when he saw those who were usually superior and wept bitterly, but he would not hesitate, but Qi Xing... died The appearance of making contributions to mankind all the time, only makes people feel so stupid, but they can't do it.

Sure enough, the old man said that it is reasonable not to choose names when raising pigs. Once the names are exchanged, they will not be willing to do it.

"In such a magical place in the universe, he may not be able to survive, so let's treat him as dead." Levin drank the wine in his glass.

……

"Brother... Alcoholism is not good for your health."

"Fuck you, you want to be thrown down by me too, don't you?"

The author has something to say:
