Merit Book·Xinghai

After the prison star's incident, Rong Yuan rejected Yisili's request to go with him and left in his own spaceship.Anyway, the piloting of the spaceship is basically controlled by No. [-], and he doesn't need to worry about it.On the seventh day, Number Two said the spacecraft had received a distress signal.

"Go and have a look." Rong Yuan said.

So the spaceship turned its bow slowly, headed towards the direction of the signal, and soon deviated from the prescribed route.

The distress signal was intermittent and difficult to locate.However, for Noah II, the most powerful brain in the Milky Way, this is not a problem. It didn't take long to lock the direction and distance of the signal transmission, and after a few hours, Rong Yuan could see A small escape pod was floating alone in space, and the spaceship quickly approached.

Suddenly, the electronic sound of No. [-] sounded in the cabin: "A strange signal has been captured... Decrypting... Decrypting... Decryption completed. The content of the signal is: target found! Repeat, target found!"

Rong Yuan laughed, and said: "This target, besides me, should there be no one else?"

"According to logic, this is the case." Number Two said.

Rong Yuan asked: "Can you find out the specific location where the signal was emitted?"

"It can only be locked in the escape pod in front of you. The specific launch target is not clear, and the receiving target is not clear." No. [-] paused, and said: "The laser cannon has been fully charged, and the escape pod is locked. Master, do you want to launch it?"

At this time, the distance between the two aircraft was only a few kilometers away, and both sides were flying in the same direction at a constant speed. The muzzle at the bottom of the side of the spacecraft was already aimed at the escape pod, and there was no possibility of a miss at such a short distance.However, the shield in front of the muzzle had not been opened, so the people in the escape cabin did not know that their lives were hanging by a thread.

On the [-]nd, the pictures captured by the external camera of the spaceship were transmitted to the display screen in front of Rong Yuan. It can be seen that the people in the cabin felt that they had escaped from the sky, and they were jumping and jumping with joy, knowing that it cannot be transmitted in a vacuum. No sound, but still waving his hands and shouting something.Among them was a dark-skinned young man who was particularly active, dancing with hands and feet full of joy, and his bright smile was contagious.

Rong Yuan couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's okay, let's connect them up."

No. [-] was silent for a moment, and complained: "Anyway, I'm idle, I'm just idle, just to find some fun for you, isn't it?"

Hearing that it was a little unhappy, Rong Yuan didn't care.Compared with Noah, who is a bit afraid of the chaos of the world, No. [-] prefers more things than less things. As a brain, he is too lazy to make people outrageous.Usually when Rong Yuan doesn't call it, it won't take the initiative to speak.So its reaction was expected by Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan's decision did not exceed No. [-]'s expectation, so although it was complaining, it still carried out the order immediately.

Mu Xiaohu was so confident before, but after the spaceship approached, he was more excited than anyone else. He occupied most of the window by himself. He stared intently at the approaching spaceship from the window, with a weeping and laughing expression on his face.

Ze Ruo also leaned against the window and watched, only half of his face was exposed behind Mu Xiaohu.He wasn't as excited as the others, he just breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the spaceship, two slender mechanical arms stretched out, grabbed the escape pod firmly, and dragged it into the cabin. With a muffled sound of "嗤", air poured into the airtight cabin. The escape cabin detected that the external environment had reached the survival index, and the hatch door slid open soundlessly. Everyone hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the escape cabin one by one.

It was quiet outside, and the imagined scenes where someone would come to question their identities, comfort their frightened fragile hearts, or appear as a savior to express their gratitude did not appear, it was as quiet as if no one was here .

Everyone couldn't help feeling uneasy, and someone asked: "What's going on? Is this a cargo spaceship fully controlled by an optical brain?"

The situation of space travel is complex and changeable. The optical brain far surpasses human beings in terms of computing power and reaction speed, and will not feel tired, bored, irritable, desperate and other emotions due to the long and boring voyage. Therefore, more and more people are now The spaceships are all controlled by optical brains, and the existence of human pilots is only to prevent certain emergencies.Especially on specialized cargo spaceships, most of them don't even have a single person on them.This is also due to the fact that Landia is one of the countries with the best law and order in the galaxy. Instead of some chaotic star fields where star thieves are rampant, no matter what type of spaceship, if you don’t hire one or two mech teams, you dare not out.

"Impossible." A person with some inside information immediately retorted: "Although the unmanned spaceship has the obligation to rescue the escape pod, its autonomy is very low, and it can only follow the prescribed route, and it will never deviate from the route to find it automatically. "

"Then what's going on?" The middle-aged man who walked at the end stepped on the door of the escape cabin, as if he wanted to turn around and run back, he asked in a trembling voice, "Should...do you encounter star robbers?" right?"

"Star Pirates?!!" Everyone exclaimed, turning interrogative sentences into exclamatory sentences abruptly.Many people believed it was true, and turned pale with fright, scrambling all over the ground and running back to the escape cabin.

After Mu Xiaohu stepped down from the escape pod, he did not run around or bump into each other very politely, and looked around with big eyes, looking very curious.When everyone panicked, he put his hands together in a trumpet shape around his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Hello—how are you—is anyone here—"

Is anyone here--

Is anyone here--

The echo kept vibrating back and forth in the cabin, amplifying Mu Xiaohu's voice several times.The people who were already terrified were even more frightened by his shout, and their movements froze.This is a helpless electronic voice from the player: "Didn't you see the door in front of you?"

"Hey? Is there?" Mu Xiaohu looked left and right, the cabin was all white, and he couldn't see where there was a door.But with his sharp eyes, he scanned around and saw an inconspicuous doorknob on the wall.He walked over, grabbed the doorknob, thought for a while, knocked on the door again and asked politely, "May I come in?"

The voice said: "Yes."

Mu Xiaohu opened the door generously.The others hid behind him, crowding each other and looking forward.

Behind the door is another room.

A thick glass wall divides the room into two parts, one large and one small, and there is a square blue screen about a foot in size on the glass wall.The small part was empty, while all the walls of the large part, including the ceiling, had hand-sized baffles suddenly opened, and black muzzles protruded from it, pointing at everyone from all directions.There is no doubt that as long as they have a little change, they will be smashed into a sieve immediately.

Everyone held their breath, suppressing their fear and not moving.Mu Xiaohu stood at the front, ignored the muzzles of those guns, and said loudly, "I'm in, where are you?"

"Don't be so loud, I can hear you." The electronic voice ignored Mu Xiaohu's question, and said, "Put your ID bracelets on the reader, and enter the quarantine room after verifying your identity. Only after the quarantine is completed can you enter the spaceship. "

"I understand!" Mu Xiaohu still replied loudly, pointing to the blue square screen on the glass wall and asking: "Is this the reader?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, he strode over and stuck the identity bracelet worn on his left wrist on the square screen. Hearing a soft "beep", the verification was completed. A door slid open.He approached this small room, the door was closed, and several blue lights swept up and down around him for a few times, then there was another soft beep, the quarantine was completed, and the green light on the opposite door was on, Mu Xiaohu With a slight push, the door opened, and he turned around and waved happily at the others, before walking in without hesitation.

There is still no one behind the door, but a long corridor.The lights on the roof lit up row by row, illuminating the corridor like daylight, and at the same time the electronic voice said: "Welcome to Feiyan, please go forward along the lights, the fifth room on the left is your temporary residence. Room There are drinking water, compressed nutrients, star net login helmets, toilets and dormant cabins. If you have other needs, you can contact them through the beeper. Feiyan will take you to the nearest livable star, Bai Qixing, with an estimated voyage of 87 hours and 54 hours Minutes and three seconds. Please don't walk around until you reach your destination."

"Well, thank you! But I'm not used to you talking like that!" Mu Xiaohu walked forward while counting the doors, "This ship is called Feiyan? Are you the captain?"

The electronic tone did not return.

"Ignore me again." Mu Xiaohu muttered, but he wasn't angry either.The rooms on the spaceship usually don't take up too much space, so he quickly found the fifth room. Before opening the door, he suddenly thought of another question, so he hurriedly asked: "Wait, can I ask you again?" A question?"

"Say." The electronic voice was concise and cool.

"Well... Excuse me, do you charge for this?" Mu Xiaohu asked shyly.

The electronic voice paused for a moment, and said: "The Interstellar Alliance Law stipulates that during a space rescue, the rescuer can get [-] times the normal ship ticket, and the food, accommodation and other items are charged separately."

"This... so..." Mu Xiaohu blushed, and whispered, "But I... don't have that much money..."

After a while, the electronic voice did not speak, and a male voice said softly: "Then do you want to jump off the boat now?"

"Of course not! Going out will kill you!" Mu Xiaohu shook his head desperately.

"So, I'm your creditor now." The man made a final decision.

Mu Xiaohu was dumbfounded, he could almost imagine the smirking face on the other end of the communication, after a long while, he walked into the room dejectedly.Touched the high-end Starnet login helmet, and looked eagerly at the rich flavored compressed nutrients in the food refrigerator for a while, swallowed, dared not touch anything, turned over and fell on the bed clutching his stomach .

"So, he didn't eat, drink, or play games, so he's going to go through these few days hungry?" Rong Yuan laughed.

For the sake of protecting personal privacy, there is no monitoring equipment installed in the personal room.But No. [-] is the central brain that controls the spaceship, and all the instruments are controlled by it. Once the water is used up, it needs to be filled, so it knows very well that Mu Xiaohu doesn't use anything except the bed.

Number Two thought about it, and finally decided not to comment on Rong Yuan's behavior of bullying the children, and responded casually: "Well, I won't starve to death anyway."

"This kid is quite interesting." Rong Yuan said, "Before jumping into the wormhole, remember to remind him to enter the hibernation cabin and inject him with high-grade nutrient solution."

"Don't forget, he may also be the one who sent the signal." Number Two reminded.

"It doesn't matter." Rong Yuan said, his eyes fell on another display screen, the people who came out of the escape pod were passing through the quarantine room one by one, and were assigned by No. [-] to the vacant room.After reading the identity bracelets, the information of these people was also obtained by No. [-], and no abnormalities were found.

Rong Yuan said: "Be careful on this journey. After we reach Bai Qixing, it will be impossible for them to contact us."

"Huh?" No. [-] said in surprise, "I thought you would want to find that guy yourself."

"When did I say that?" Rong Yuan slightly raised his head and said with a chuckle, "I prefer being a hunter rather than being a prey."
