Qi Le

The planet selected by Siyaer is a few light-years away from the blue star, and its size is less than one-tenth of the blue star.

There is no liquid water on the planet, and it is covered with large black-gray rocks, forming large rocky mountains, steep and rugged, nearly a thousand meters high.

There are large and small circular pits between the rocky mountains.

Some are blocked by rocks and cannot be changed unless the surface is cracked.Some have several cracks criss-crossing, and black smoke and dust are ejected from the cracks, revealing orange-red light, which is magma surging underground.

Due to frequent crustal activities, toxic fumes have been ejected from the ground for a long time, and it is often accompanied by magma eruptions, resulting in an extremely harsh environment, and no life can survive here.

The team's landing point was chosen on a rocky mountain.

The top of the mountain was flattened by external force and became a natural lifting platform.

The mountain is steep all around, straight up and down, and it is impossible to climb.There are several pits with a diameter of more than [-] meters at the bottom of the mountain.Fortunately, the bottom of the crater is black rock, and there is no danger of magma eruption.

The hatch opened, and Xial flew out first.The body is metalized, so that he can effectively resist the hot wind on the planet, and is not affected by smoke and poisonous gas.

Behind him is Alpha, who is completely transparent and drags an alloy box.After the two, there were seven or eight soldiers holding laser guns.Like medical officers, they wear protective clothing and breathing apparatus around their mouths.

The environment of this planet is harsh, and the smoke and dust rising from the ground are harmful to most species.Before landing, soldiers will wear protective gear to prevent accidents.

After the battleship landed, the spacecraft received a signal and flew down to the top of the rocky mountain.

Long before landing, Xial sent a message to Qi Le, saying that the star planet is full of harmful gases, and what impact it will have on the blue star population is temporarily unpredictable. They had better be more cautious.

If you want to know the outside world, you can use the monitor.The monitor cannot project images, and the aircraft can also be piloted.Before recording the relevant data and taking effective protective measures, it is best not to leave the spaceship and aircraft rashly and be exposed to harmful gases.

"That's how it is."

Qi Le truthfully relayed the captain's suggestion.

After some discussion among the native species, a few chose to stay on the spacecraft, and most of them, like the cat dad, were ready to board the aircraft.

The white-robed zombie chose to ride on the same aircraft as Qi Le.

Father Cat nodded.He can understand Bai Pao's decision, just like himself, if he doesn't see the destruction of Gu Xuan with his own eyes, he will never be at ease.

After the signal was connected, Qi Le truthfully informed everyone of his decision.

The captain nodded, and temporarily stayed in mid-air, discussing with Alpha in a low voice, where to dig a hole to avoid the raging magma.Or simply seal the ore and sink it directly into the magma.

While the two were discussing, the hatch of the spaceship opened, and more than a dozen aircraft came out one after another.

The leading one was driven by Qi Le, and it carried kittens, white-robed zombies, and sisters Guna.The rest were controlled by squirrels and native ants respectively, forming two long lines and hovering over the rocky mountain.

As Xial said before, the blue star population does not have protective clothing and cannot log in directly, otherwise it is risking their own lives.But relying on the aircraft, it can still move flexibly and witness the whole process of the matter.

The aircraft lowered its altitude, the shield became transparent, and the surrounding scenery was unobstructed.The rugged rocky mountains, the diffuse smoke and dust, and the magma surging through the cracks once again show the unusualness of this planet.

After setting the program to autopilot, the cat father took the kitten to the window, through the protective cover, and waved his paw at the captain below.

Xial raised her head, her eyes locked on Qi Le, her long hair hung behind her shoulders, shining platinum.

Eyes met, Father Cat suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, his ears turned twice, and the hair on the tip of his tail stood up.

Since the captain left Blue Star, this is the first time the two have been so close.

Before contacting through the communicator, I feel that it is not so clear.Today, the distance is less than [-] meters, and the cat father can almost feel the emotions of the other party.

Not so good...

Thinking about cutting off the communication before and ignoring the various behaviors of the captain, the cat dad put his paws together and began to think seriously. After going back this time, should he temporarily hide in the territory and avoid the captain?

After another thought, stretching out the head is a stab, and retracting the head is also a stab. Instead of procrastinating and still being unable to avoid it in the end, it's better to hurry up, simply and neatly, and "break" directly.

Do the math with your paws, the dry season is more than half over, and the rainy season will come soon.

In view of some of its own habits, the real arrival of the "storm" does not seem to be a bad thing in a sense?

After thinking about it, and finally making up his mind, Cat Dad chooses to be a responsible lihua and face everything bravely.

The aircraft lowered its altitude one after another. The squirrel and the native ant followed Qi Le's example, set the autopilot program, and went to the window with other passengers, not wanting to miss every detail of what was about to happen.

Seeing Qi Le's reaction, Xial raised his eyebrows, and a smile flashed across his eyes.Immediately retracting his gaze, with a solemn expression, he took two steps forward and flew towards a towering rock pillar.

Alpha followed closely behind.

After arriving at the destination, throw the alloy box on the ground, retract the chain on the box, and open the box lid with one hand.

"Roar!"

Almost at the same time, an angry roar rushed into the eardrums.

With red eyes, Gu Xuan jumped out of the box.Even though he was tied up by five flowers, he still had a ferocious face and kept roaring.Amidst the roar, spikes protruded from his back, spread his wings, broke free from the rope made of alloy, and swooped towards Alpha on the opposite side.

The soldiers quickly dispersed, the laser guns were raised horizontally, and the muzzles were aimed at the target.

Alpha quickly retreated to avoid Gu Xuan's attack.Xiar flew forward, punched Gu Xuan on the right shoulder, clasped his neck with one hand, picked up a nail-shaped rock, penetrated Gu Xuan's chest in an instant, and nailed him to the raised rock pillar .

"Roar!"

Gu Xuan roared ferociously, the black wings stretched to the limit, as if trying to break free from the rock pillar.

It's a pity that everything was in vain.

Xial tore off his wings and threw them on the ground.Immediately back a few meters, with the rock pillar as the center, open the energy barrier, isolating the two worlds inside and outside.

The transparent energy barrier spread out in an arc and closed above everyone's heads.The bottom fits tightly with the ground, leaving no gaps.

Golden light flows on the surface of the barrier, and the display intensity is raised to the highest level.

The purpose of doing this is to enhance protection.Once the ore cannot be destroyed, there is enough time to seal it, so that there will be no energy leakage and affect the outside world.

"Fire."

Everything was ready, Shial's voice sounded from within the barrier.

The order was given, and the muzzle opened at the same time.

Dazzling laser beams shot out quickly, streaked across the air, interweaved into a net, and covered Gu Xuan's whole body.

The beams collided and squeezed, constantly exploding.The energy generated by the explosion is enough to destroy a small warship.

Amidst the roar, the rocks splashed and were blocked by the barrier, unable to fly out of the square inch.The rock pillar was pierced and flattened by the laser beam, and the rubble fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.

In the hot white light, Gu Xuan's roar could no longer be heard.The whole person was melted by the scorching energy, leaving no embers.

After the light dissipated, the rock pillar disappeared, leaving a pit several meters deep on the ground.The bottom of the pit shone with red light, and it was a red ore the size of a fist.

Shial gave the order to fire again.

Unfortunately, the worst still happened.

No matter how many times it is hit, the ore remains intact, showing no signs of shattering.Swapped laser guns for laser cannons, still no progress.

On the contrary, after being hit by the laser beam, the energy continues to overflow, and the blue star population present will be affected if there is no barrier to block it.As for the soldiers inside the barrier, they are all selected and will basically not be disturbed by energy.Coupled with protective clothing, the impact will be reduced to a minimum.

It turns out that the ore cannot be destroyed in an easy way, only a backup plan.

Xial signaled to the medical officer, who opened the space button, took out a silver metal box, plunged into the bottom of the pit, put the ore into the box, and sealed it carefully.

After taking out the detector and confirming that there is no energy leakage, Alpha flew out of the pit and stood beside Xial.

Ashlia stepped forward and took out the working robot from the space station.

The robot is no more than half a meter tall, with a silver-gray body, and only the star five is painted on the back.A blue light flashed above the square head, and metal arms protruded from the sides of the body, with flat ends.Once in the trap, start digging immediately.As they worked, gravel, sand, and soil continued to pile up, reaching several meters in an instant, as if building a wall around the pit.

Seeing this scene, Qi Le has no doubts that with this kind of "action power", given enough time, they can even dig through the planet.

Beside him, the white-robed zombie remained silent.Whether it was seeing Gu Xuan disappear into the light, or the ore that caused the disaster could not be destroyed, his mood has not changed much.

Qi Le raised his head, observed his expression carefully, and really wanted to know what he was thinking.However, he couldn't find anything, but his eyes were dry, so he had no choice but to give up.

After a long time, when the robot left the bottom of the pit and the metal box was deeply buried, the expression of the white robe finally loosened a bit.

"he died."

"Yes." Father Cat nodded.

The whole process was so fast that it made him feel unreal.The reality told him plainly that Gu Xuan had indeed disappeared, not even a single bone remained.

The only regret is that the ore cannot be destroyed and did not disappear with him.

According to what he saw just now, Qi Le was sure that the energy of the laser guns used by the base soldiers had been raised to the highest level.Such a high energy is enough to penetrate the deck of a battleship, but it cannot crush a single ore.You can see what the consequences will be if the planet that produces ore is used by someone with a heart.

Fortunately, there is no way to deal with it.

As the captain said, burying the ore on this planet can only be regarded as a stopgap measure.In order to eliminate hidden dangers, when the alliance war is over, he will send people to the ore-producing planets to block the air routes leading there.

It is reported that it is close to the base camp of the star beasts, no matter how vicious the space pirates are, they will not dare to approach easily if they have lived enough and want to seek death.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that this ore will not be discovered by more people, let alone mined in large quantities, and used in places where it should not be used before finding a way to offset the energy.

The metal box was buried in the bottom of the pit, and the robot began to backfill the gravel.

The whole process took less than a quarter of an hour.

After the pit was filled, Ashlia looked around and said a few words to Shial.When the latter nodded, he immediately cut off half of the rock mountain and pressed it on the place where the ore was buried.

Seeing the girl picking up the laser cannon, blasting off half of the rocky mountain neatly, flinging the cloak proudly, picking up the fallen boulder and flying forward, even if he knew the population attributes of Constellation, the cat dad couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I was so surprised that I couldn't say a word for a long time.

After everything was dealt with, everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly there was a violent vibration under their feet.

The black rock cracked, and several smoke columns rose from the cracks, and the poisonous gas scattered, accompanied by the splash of sparks, which was the precursor of the earthquake and magma eruption.

"Dangerous, hurry back to the spaceship!"

After receiving the alarm, the base soldiers quickly lifted off, followed Xial, and returned to the battleship anchored on the top of the rock.The native ants and squirrels drove the aircraft, turned around and rushed towards the spaceship.

The hatch was closed, and the battleship and spaceship took off at the fastest speed.

At the same time, large areas of the ground cracked, and fiery red magma spewed out.The rocky mountain began to sink, and the cracks spread upward from the foot of the mountain, spreading across the entire mountain like a spider web.

The gravel rolled down, the smoke and dust continued to spread, and the poisonous gas filled the planet.

The magma kept gushing out, covering the surface in large swaths, quickly filling up every pit.

Battleships and spaceships are out of danger. Looking back from the universe, the original dark gray planet is covered with red cracks.The cracks are intertwined, covering the entire surface, and the entire planet turns into a fiery red, a doomsday scene.

Standing in the command cabin, Qi Le saw the planet surrounded by crimson magma, unable to make any sound for a long time.

At this moment, his heart was full of awe.

Just like Blue Star, which has suffered a near-destruction disaster and still takes hundreds of years to gradually recover its vitality, in the face of the power of nature, everything seems so insignificant.

After a long silence, the squirrels jumped onto the console again, and the native species also performed their duties, preparing for the return flight.

Return flight, go home.

The four words flooded into his mind, and Qi Le couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Once upon a time, the memory of the previous life became blurred, and when "home" was mentioned, Blue Star already appeared in the mind.

The forest where he lived with the kitten, the grassland where he met the crow girl, the ocean where he met Ethan and Aisha, the wreckage of the spaceship where he once lived briefly, and even the desert that he overlooked from the sky, all of these happened inadvertently. , has long been deeply rooted in the heart, firmly rooted.

Sensing Qi Le's emotions, the kitten stood beside the command chair, resting its front legs on the edge of the chair, raised its head and rubbed Qi Le's chin.Tai Sui lay on top of the kitten's head, protruding its spiral tentacles, and touched Qi Le's front paws, as if to express comfort.

Qi Le was taken aback for a moment, but soon smiled again.

The cat father cheered up, shook the beard around his mouth, licked the kitten's ears, raised his front paw, and patted Tai Sui on top of the kitten's head.

"Meow~ow~" The kitten narrowed its eyes, and took the initiative to rub against Qi Le.

The father and son have been together so far, and they don't need too many words to understand each other's meaning.

The kitten grew bigger and bigger, and the cat father knew very well that his son would always leave home.

The time during which father and son lived together has become a memory that he cherishes deep in his heart.It is the existence of the kitten that supports him through the most difficult period and gives him a goal to fight for, so that he will not lose himself because of loneliness in a strange place.

Even with the passage of time, this memory will still be as fresh as ever and will never fade.

"After returning home, I will tell Squirrel to build a market in your territory." Qi Le said.

"Daddy?" The kitten opened its eyes.

"Don't worry, listen to me." Qi Le licked the kitten's ears, and said earnestly, "Blue Star will continue to develop, and the number of markets will continue to increase. Around the market, cities will appear one after another."

"City?"

"I mentioned it to you before, remember?" Qi Le said.

The kitten thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Moving late is worse than moving early. Ethan is preparing to build an ocean market. The territory you have chosen is close to the ocean. Building the market as soon as possible is beneficial to both of us."

The kitten jumped onto the command chair and lay beside Qi Le.Ears drooping, voice slightly frustrated: "Can't I go to Dad's territory anymore?"

"Of course I can come!" Qi Le raised his front paws and said with a smile, "I will keep the shop for you. When the conditions are right, I will ask squirrels and moles to help build roads and air corridors between several areas .”

"Build in every region?" Guna suddenly said.

Hearing the sound, Father Cat raised his head, only to realize that at some point, a circle of native species had surrounded the command chair.The squirrel was busy driving the spaceship, and also pricked up its ears, not wanting to miss any details.

"Conditions are limited. At present, we can only connect to a few nearby areas." Qi Le said, "In other places, spaceships and aircraft can be used to carry passengers."

Having said that, Qi Le turned to Kitten: "Son, are you interested in learning how to pilot a warship?"

"Battleship?" The kitten's eyes lit up.

Several little lynxes looked over, their expressions full of eagerness.

This trip to the universe broadened their horizons, allowing them to see many things they had never seen before, and also gave birth to many new ideas.For example, flying spaceships and warships to travel the universe is one of them.

"When the city is built, I plan to discuss with the base and ask them to send people to the city to teach interstellar knowledge and the skills of flying spaceships and battleships."

"Will they be willing?" Some native species expressed doubts.

"It's up to people." Qi Le sat up and said seriously, "This is something that is beneficial to both parties. Given enough conditions, I believe they will not refuse."

There were so many thoughts in Qi Le's mind, and he listed them one after another, which surprised even himself.Speaking to the native species present, it immediately aroused heated discussions.

The spaceship was sailing in space, and Qi Le was lying on the command chair, discussing with everyone and making plans for future development.The red planet wrapped in lava was gradually left behind and never mentioned again.
