Qi Le

Time passed day by day, and the day when the fleet departed was getting closer and closer.

After careful consideration, Qi Le decided to accept Xi Yaer's suggestion, and leave Blue Star with him, and go to the universe for a while.

Hearing Qi Le's decision, Shiar took the time to sort out the data and gave him a new recorder, which stored a lot of text and images, including the big and small planets passed by during this trip.

"Is there life in these galaxies?"

If this is the case, he is afraid that he will have to work hard to memorize it for a while.

"Of these planets, more than half belong to Star Five, about [-]% of which have intelligent life, [-]% are primitive stars, and the rest are mine stars and abandoned death stars."

Death Star is a general term.

There are various reasons for its formation, but without exception, it represents barrenness.

There is life on the ninth death star, and it is not an exception that it was abandoned due to cosmic storms and time-space jump points.The universe is vast, and there are many similar situations.It's just that before being abandoned, few planets have such a rich mineral deposit, and there is no radiation of the same level, which can assimilate most of the species that fell into the planet.

Knowing the general situation of the planet, Qi Le has more confidence in this trip.

Before leaving, the cat father contacted the kitten and asked him about his life in the past few days.Seeing the cheerful appearance of the kitten, the cat father was both relieved and inexplicably disappointed.

The kitten is taken care of by Tai Sui and Aisha. It can hunt on land and in the sea. It also has friends to play with and explore around together. It leads a very fulfilling life, and Qi Le is naturally happy.

However, the son is becoming more and more independent, and the day away from home is getting closer and closer, and Dad Cat always feels heavy in his heart.

Is this the paradox of being a parent?

Shaking his head, putting aside the sudden increase of melancholy, Qi Le praised the kitten's progress, and told him to be careful during the adventure, and not to go to places where Aisha and Tai Sui can't take care of.

After getting an affirmative answer, Qi Le nodded reassuringly.When he found the squirrel walking behind the kitten, he immediately raised his voice.

"Black pine, red oak!"

"Qi Le?"

Through the screen, Father Cat told Squirrel that it is best to go to the base as soon as possible.

"I'm going to leave Blue Star for a while, and the potion for this transaction will last for about three months. If I haven't come back until the potion runs out, you need to go to the base to trade."

So far, only a few populations have entered the base, and most native species are still highly wary and unwilling to approach easily.

Part of the reason is that the owners of the base are of different races and don’t know much about each other. Even if Siyar issued a strict order to prohibit poaching and actively released goodwill, most species would not easily relax their vigilance;

Just like the choice of native ants, it is okay to join forces temporarily, but stop forming an alliance.

If you want to become an ally, you need to continue to observe.

The other part is that the contact between the populations has just begun, and they still divide their territories with clear distinctions.Even if you are not of a foreign race, you cannot easily set foot on other people's territory. If you don't want to get into trouble, you must be careful.Generally speaking, big shots like native ants are in the minority after all.

Perceptions are ingrained, and change takes time.

If Qi Le is outside the planet, he can only rely on the squirrel if he wants to maintain the transaction with the base in exchange for more potions and ores.

It's a pity that Sister Crow and her clan returned to the [-]th district and were busy taking care of the newborn chicks, so they really couldn't spare a hand.If not, you can add a few more helpers.

"You want to leave Blue Star?" Heisong was surprised when he heard Qi Le's words.

"Yes." Qi Le nodded, briefly explained the plan of this trip, and then added, "Sooner or later, Blue Star will get rid of the status of Hunting Field Star and become a full member of the alliance. Take this opportunity to further familiarize yourself with the galaxy alliance and learn about other planets , will definitely be beneficial in the future.”

The squirrels looked at each other, clutched their big tails, and sparks crackled.After some consideration, they all looked at Qi Le and agreed.

When Qi Le contacted the kitten, they had just arrived from the center of the forest.

After getting along for a long time, in the eyes of the squirrel, there is no difference between a kitten and a kitten.Coupled with the entrustment of the cat father, the squirrels are even more worried.For this reason, the time to go to the trap is shortened and shortened, basically a circle, and immediately turn around after making sure no one else is involved.

Through the screen, they heard Qi Le telling them to go to the base as soon as possible, thinking that Qi Le was in danger, so he raised his paws and tail, ready to fight.

After the exchange, it was discovered that this was a misunderstanding.

The cat dad was safe and sound from the beginning to the end. The reason why they were allowed to go to the base was because of other arrangements.

After the communication, the squirrels rested at the beach overnight, and set off the next day.

It takes three to four days to run at full strength across three districts at a time.Flying the aircraft, the distance is shortened to a few hours.

Qi Le woke up early and was waiting in front of the base.Seeing the approaching squirrel, he raised his paw and waved it, and at the same time threw several space buttons, which were filled with potions and precious materials he bought, as well as a large amount of ore.

The traded spaceship is parked at the dock, but not loaded into the spaceship.

First of all, the space is limited, and the goods he trades are so many, if they are loaded into the spaceship, there is basically nothing left.Secondly, Qi Le thinks that the spaceship is bought for use, and he should master the driving method as soon as possible, and then drive out of the base.

In Qi Le's opinion, Squirrel is very talented in flying aircraft, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius.It can be deduced from this that piloting a spaceship should also be easy to learn.

Once they get the hang of it, they can teach it to others.

He only has less than half a month, time is tight, there are many things to be arranged in advance, everything must be raced against time.

In order for things to go smoothly, Dad Cat also asked the captain for help, and transferred several base personnel to help Squirrel familiarize himself with the operations on the ship.

In exchange, he will pay a certain amount of crystal nuclei, paid by the hour.

"If you learn how to operate, you will be able to drive the spaceship back and deliver the cargo." Qi Le raised his front paw and pointed in the direction of the dock, "With the spaceship's cargo warehouse, there is no need to transport ore in the space station, and the space can be vacated. Hold more potions."

The squirrels followed the trend, watching the ups and downs of the spaceship, their expressions gradually became firm.

"Aircraft are convenient, but they are not as good as spaceships." Qi Le continued.

"With these spaceships, everyone can sail freely in various areas without worrying about encountering difficult guys."

If you really meet, don't care about the courtesy before the soldiers, just fire the cannon.

Qi Le didn't say this clearly, it's good that they understand each other.

"After you go back, you can teach the operation method to Mo Qi and the others, as well as native ants, black spiders, killer whales..."

Dad cat counted them one by one with his paws, and suddenly found that his popularity is quite good, not called friends all over the world, but in the eleventh district and the sea area near the eighth district, he can definitely walk sideways.

It's okay to swim sideways, as long as he can do it.

"The plan this time is hasty, and there are many planets to go through. I have never left Blue Star before, so I don't know what I will meet." Qi Le paused, met the squirrel's suspicious gaze, and shook his beard, "So, I Discussed with Qi Ning, let him stay this time and go alone."

"Don't worry, we will take good care of him." Before Qi Le could continue, Squirrel had already patted his chest to assure him.

"After the catastrophe, none of the populations on the Blue Star have ever been to other planets." In the memory of the squirrel, except for the captured alien beast, no other populations were heard of being taken out of the Blue Star alive.Especially native species, when encountering greedy hunters, they would rather die in battle than be easily captured alive.

"I'm not familiar with the place, so I have to take a lot of risks, so I definitely can't bring the cubs."

"We will help you keep an eye on the territory, repair the spaceship according to the previous plan, build cities on the ground, and try our best to maintain transactions between several regions."

"During the rainy season, everyone doesn't like to go out. It takes a lot of effort for Morpho to go to District [-], and often complains that the butterfly's wings are getting wet. With these aircraft and spaceships, trading will become very convenient."

"Seafood is very popular, and it is bound to be sold at a high price in areas where it is shipped off the coast."

"The black spiders don't mind being exposed to the rain. They are delivering goods these days. It's a pity that the capacity of the space box is limited, and the profit they can make is also limited. We have a spaceship, and the space button can be used by them."

"If they also learn to fly the spaceship, they won't need to get in the rain anymore!"

"There are warehouses on the spaceship, plus these space buttons, let alone the eighth and ninth districts, you can go farther!"

"One day in the future, we can also drive a spaceship to the universe!"

The squirrels talked to each other, and the discussion was in full swing.From comforting Qi Le at the beginning, assuring him that he would take good care of the kitten, to repairing the spaceship and building a territory, he successfully turned the building and turned to business.

The cat dad didn't mind at all, he put his paws together in front of him, and smiled as he listened to the discussion of the furballs.He has long been used to this kind of lively scene, and he will feel nostalgic if he doesn't see it for a while.

Hearing the squirrels mention the planets in the universe, they looked down at the space button hanging on their chests. Thinking of the last call with the kitten, they suddenly felt a little melancholy.

He wanted to promise that he would take the kitten with him next time, but before he could open his mouth, the kitten expressed that he was willing to stay in Blue Star.

"I know my father has business to do, but he went to a strange place, so he can't take care of me. I will go with my father when the situation permits."

Through the virtual light screen, the red-gold fur seemed to be dyed with a layer of water ripples, and the character king on the top of the head became more and more clear.

"I will stay with Tai Sui and wait for Dad to come back. I promise not to run around and try to avoid danger. If Dad allows, I want to mark my territory."

After hearing these words, Qi Le sighed at his son's obedience, but also felt a little confused for no reason.

The kitten volunteered to mark his territory, proving that he was one step closer to independence.

For this request, Qi Le did not refuse, nor could he refuse.Children will grow up one day, the elders must let go, and must not hold back, no matter how reluctant they are.

In terms of marking the territory, he suggested that kittens can carefully inspect and make more choices.

As a father, of course he wants his son to live by his side.However, if the kitten wants to stay by the sea or go to other areas, he may regret it, but he will never stop him, and he will wholeheartedly support it.

When the city deep in the forest is completed, the exchanges between species will become more frequent.There is an aircraft connected to the traffic, even if the kitten lives far away, it is not difficult to meet again.

In order not to be an "empty-nest raccoon", we must accelerate the development of Blue Star and work harder!

The cat dad was lost in thought, but he didn't realize that the discussion of the squirrels was over.

Heisong coughed, and Qi Le suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes swept over the fur balls around him, he shook his beard, pointed his paws at the airport, and said the planned arrangement: "Go and count the cargo first, and then get familiar with the operation of the spaceship!"

When Dad Cat and Squirrel got out of the elevator, Moran and Ashlia had been waiting for a long time.He found the hairball coming towards him, and stepped forward to meet him.

Knowing that Qi Le wanted to be familiar with the operation of the spaceship, Moran volunteered, hoping to help.Ashlia found it interesting, finished the work at hand, and followed along.

Leia was busy looking for the ore needed by the mutated plants, and couldn't get away for the time being.

Oren was captured by Ashlia. With his ability, he can play multiple roles such as helmsman, navigator, and communications officer.If Qi Le wants to learn naval guns, he can do artillery drills on the spot.

Seeing the majestic group of hair balls, Moran raised a smile, and Ashlia's eyes lit up.

Oren was taken aback for a moment.

He knew that the commander arranged for the blue star population to board the spaceship, but he didn't expect that, except for Qi Le, none of them were native species.

Comparing the sizes of the squirrels, Moran and Ashlia looked at each other, and decided to adjust the layout of the command cabin and make some changes in details.Especially consoles and metal chairs, if you don't have time to lower the height, you can only turn the back of the chair upside down, embed the metal plate at the edge, and make do with it.

"Qi Le, I got an order from the commander to familiarize you with the operations on the ship."

Moran walked up to Papa Cat and repeated Shial's order.Then he and the squirrel were brought into the dock and parked in front of an oval spaceship.

The deck of the spaceship has been painted, the interior has been repaired, and it is equipped with a mid-level laser cannon, which is very suitable for a training ship.

"This is a civilian model. After modification, the protective cover is strengthened to withstand advanced energy cannons. Two new turrets are added. The firepower is not as strong as that of warships, but it exceeds that of most pirate merchant ships."

Before boarding the ship, the green girl hurriedly introduced the internal structure of the spaceship to the cat father.

"This ship is manufactured by the Takrik planet. The internal structure of the hull is very similar to that of the starship of the parent star, and the control procedures are somewhat different. But it doesn't matter much. There are similarities in the operation method. I will explain it to you in detail."

While speaking, the oval cabin door opened to one side, and a long silver ladder protruded from the cabin. The end fell to the ground, and immediately extended a structure similar to steel claws, firmly fixing the long ladder to ensure safety when boarding the ship .

"Come with me."

The green girl bent down to pick up Qi Le, and walked into the spaceship first.

Ashlia leads the way for the squirrels, who are fascinated by the little furry creatures.It wasn't that Moran had reminded him that he really wanted to pick one up.

Oren walked at the end of the team, and sincerely hoped that the next teaching process would be smooth sailing without any mistakes.

For the next three days, Qi Le and Squirrel spent time at the airport, except for eating and sleeping, they stayed in the dock for most of the day, familiarizing themselves with the various operations of the spaceship.

Just as the cat father thought, squirrels are extremely talented in this area, and after one or two explanations, they can quickly master the tricks.Even if they haven't learned any relevant knowledge, they can find the key just by watching other people's operations and following the gourd.

Qi Le also learned quickly, not at all inferior.

It's just that he has a specialization in the art industry. Compared with the excellent navigation ability of the squirrels, he has more weapon skills.This directly led to the longer time he spent with Oren, and the more opportunities to stare at each other.

One person and one cat look at each other, and most of the time they don't say a word, but actually practice.

Oren stood in front of the turret and pointed with his finger. The cat dad didn't say much, and went straight to his paws to disassemble the spare parts and reassemble them.This is a necessary process to familiarize yourself with the weapon.

"Only by being familiar with every detail can we exert the strongest lethality and gain more advantages in battle."

The learning results of both parties can be roughly summed up in eight words: Pilot Squirrel, Warrior Lihua.

After becoming more familiar with the operation of the spaceship and memorizing the precautions thoroughly, Ashlia suggested driving the spaceship away from the dock for practical exercises.

"Theory is theory after all. Only when the spaceship is launched can we know how much we have learned in the end."

Both the cat father and the squirrel raised their paws in favor of this suggestion.It was just a matter of wagging its tail a few times and shouting "Sister truth, long live sister".

Seeing their excitement, the green girl thought for a long time, and finally nodded without any objection.

The next day, Dad Cat and Squirrel came to the dock early. Unexpectedly, besides the three temporary coaches, Xi Yaer was also there.

The captain is wearing a clan robe, with a ribbon symbolizing status hanging from his shoulders, the end of which hangs down to his knees, gently swaying in the wind, smudged with a faint silver light.

Qi Le stopped and looked up at Xi Yaer.

The four eyes met, Qi Le stood still, the captain stepped forward, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he bent down to pick up the raccoon flowers, rolled them into a ball and hugged them in his arms.

This time, he didn't bury his belly, but just kissed Qi Le's head, pinched his hind paw with his big hand, and ran along his tail.

The cat dad narrowed his eyes, but he didn't wave his Shadowless Claw.Only when the captain held his tail and did not let go for a long time, did he raise his front paws, leaving a few plum blossom marks on his chin.

At first glance, it is very eye-catching, but if you look closely, the traces have long since disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the base personnel were not surprised at all, and they were still doing what they should do.For them, similar situations have long been commonplace.As long as the commander meets Lihua, there will always be marks on his face.

Everyone even had a premonition that this kind of scene would continue and become a reserved project of the Blue Star Base.

"Cough!" Moran coughed, reminding everyone to board the ship.

Xiar put down Qi Le and did not enter the command cabin with him, but stayed at the airport, watched the spaceship take off as planned, circled over the base, fired two laser beams symbolically, and opened the protective cover to block the ground The incoming light bullets then landed smoothly.

The test flight went well and was more successful than expected.

The three of Moran didn't help much. Qi Le and Squirrel completed a series of operations from take-off to firing, to the shield, and to returning to the dock.

Strictly speaking, the squirrel completed 90.00% of the physical work, and Qi Le was mainly responsible for the deployment and command to ensure that each step was carried out smoothly, and no mistakes occurred in the middle, so that he was in a hurry.

Squirrels are really smart.

They have already mastered the knack, the only difference is practical experience.

With Qi Le sitting in the command chair, it was more of a "tranquilizer".

Mao Tuan became more at ease in his heart, his confidence doubled, and he was able to solve any difficulties he encountered.The height of the chair is not enough, and it is uncomfortable to stand on the back of the chair, so I just sit on the edge of the podium, be careful, and the operation can still be carried out smoothly.

After completing the first test flight, Qi Le and Squirrel summed up their experience and took off twice in a row. Instead of firing laser cannons, they reversed the direction of the spacecraft and made difficult maneuvers such as vertical turns and rapid dodges in mid-air.

The squirrel's technique became more and more proficient, Qi Le was finally able to retreat, gave the command chair to Heisong, returned to the ground by himself, lay on Xial's shoulder, and watched the spaceship glide through the clouds.

He wanted to stand on the ground, it would be more serious.

It's a pity that the captain's action was too fast, and he was already hugged before he objected.

After two seconds of silence, the cat father chose to accept his fate.

Lying on the ground is at least better than being buried in the stomach.

The self-comfort didn't last for two seconds, Xial suddenly lifted Lihua to her face, and buried it in her soft belly again.

Qi Le looked up at the sky.

What can he say?

Someone really couldn't help boasting.

After several test flights, the learning task of the squirrel was completed, and there was no need to stay at the base.Before departure, work together with Qi Le to count the traded goods, send some to the warehouse, and load them into the space button in one step.

After everything was ready, the Mao Tuan bid farewell to Qi Le, and drove the spaceship back to District [-].

The spaceship passed over the forest, attracting countless eyes.Some alien beasts even thought it was an attack from a foreign race, and fled in all directions.

In order to avoid misunderstandings and even unnecessary conflicts, the squirrels had to slow down their speed and contact the raptors halfway, and let them fly on one side to show the alien beasts and native species along the way that the spaceship was really not aliens, but blue creatures. star population.

The day after the squirrel left was the departure date of the fleet.

Out of excitement for space travel, Qi Le didn't sleep well all night, and kept his eyes open until dawn.When he was about to set off, he couldn't bear it any longer, and lay in Shiar's arms, yawning again and again.

Until he was carried into the airport and boarded the battleship, Qi Le's mind was still a little confused.He didn't even bother to pay attention to the sight around him, and chose to ignore them all.

Shial boarded the flagship, stepped on the conveyor belt, and soon arrived at the command cabin.

The dock opened, and the wind and rain poured in instantly.

The navigator set the coordinates, and amidst the roar of the engines, the warships took off one after another.

Xial leaned back in the chair, and ran her slender fingers along Qi Le's back.

Maybe it's too sleepy, or maybe it's too relaxed. Dad cat fell asleep from the start of his first space trip.After a full sleep, I opened my eyes, only to find that the battleship had already left Blue Star and was on its way into the endless dark universe.
