wandering planet

It is definitely a must to go, but before you go, you have to eat enough.

Jiang Che couldn't make any big moves, and everyone was very hungry, so he cut some pork casually, set up a big pot, and planned to eat hot pot.

This big iron pot was insisted by Julian that he must bring it with him.When we set out this time, because the task was relatively difficult, everyone was carrying tools to perform the task and save their lives. Only Julian insisted that Ovid should bear this cauldron.

Ovid himself was very happy, and happily recited and ate all the way.

But the fish soup and bird soup were tired of drinking. Seeing the wild boar tumbling in the pot at this time, all the people around the pot swallowed involuntarily.

"We've had hotpot like this before on the Phoenix," said Ovid. "Wow, it was delicious. That hotpot was just too spicy. Do you know the silver leaf pepper? It's a beautiful kind of pepper , and the spiciest of all the peppers I've ever eaten..."

He has said this matter more than once. We are all from the same group. After listening to it too much, we will naturally get tired of it. No matter what he said, no one paid attention.

Jiang Che sat and listened to him, reminding him to pay attention to the strength of his hands.

Under his guidance, Ovid is cutting the fat wild boar into pieces, dipping them in egg liquid, flour and bread crumbs, and preparing to fry them in a small oil pan.

Egg liquid, flour and bread crumbs will all be used up tonight. Jiang Che felt a little sorry for everyone because he used them sparingly.

The people eating meat sitting around the cauldron greeted them, "Come and eat."

The hot pot bottom material is also made by Jiang Che himself.He and Ovid would often work on these in between missions during the holidays, packing them all up and taking them with them.

Exploring in the wilderness is already hard and difficult, so don't be harsh on yourself when you stutter.

Jiang Che's point of view has deeply influenced Ovid, and now he has learned how to cook himself, and he can make some decent dishes.

"We'll eat the pork chops after Ovid has finished frying them." Jiang Che said, "There's too much to eat, so take your time."

Ovid paused and turned to look at him.

"Keep talking." Jiang Che signaled him not to stop, "The hot pot on the Phoenix is ​​better or the hot pot here?"

Ovid did not continue this time.He carefully put the processed pork chops into the frying pan, and subconsciously leaned back.The steak sizzled in the boiling oil, and the oil splashed everywhere.

"It's all delicious." He pressed the meat into the oil with a long branch, "I just miss Linney and the others."

Jiang Che stood up, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head: "So this holiday, let's go to Marseilles. Bring some special products from the earth, and the cooking skills you have learned. You can also show Lin Ni and Song Junxing .”

After all, they have lived outside for a long time, and many seasonings have been used up, only soy sauce and chili powder are left.But even with only two things, paired with the extremely fresh wild pork and the mellow pot bottom, a group of people ate for a whole night, and finally could hardly move their legs.

Jiang Che squatted by the pit, looking at the wild boar carcass at the bottom of the pit, full of regret: "Waste so much? This wild boar is quite delicious."

Julian squatted with him, and carefully smoked the extinguished cigarette in the small glass bottle.

"Then make some bacon and ham for storage? It hasn't rained recently, just hang it on the tree here to dry." He was enthusiastic, "I heard that you Chinese are also very good at making this kind of meat."

Jiang Che felt a little embarrassed: "But I can't move my hands now, I will tell you the method, and you can do it?"

Julian: "Tell Ovid."

Jiang Che: "It takes a lot of time to make ham and bacon, and a lot of salt is needed, why don't you get it back first?"

Julian: "Let Ovid find it."

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

Julian was horrified by his stare, and it took him a moment to realize that he might have said something wrong.

"I'll look for it, I'll do it." He quickly waved his fist, "I'm strong, I can do it all."

Jiang Che turned his attention to the wild boar again. "If you don't want to do it..." he said, "I think there should be more diligent captains in other teams than you."

Julian hugged Jiang Che's hand tightly: "No no no no no no no..."

Ovid didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing Julian's expression, he guessed that Jiang Che was threatening Julian.

One team returned to the headquarters the next day, just in time for the other two teams to arrive at the same time.Fearing that Jiang Che would be fooled away, Julian hurriedly dragged Jiang Che into the compound of the headquarters as quickly as possible.

Human beings who returned to the ground after the "big impact" not only started the long rebuilding work, but also faced a very difficult cleaning work.

The Biological Disaster Response Force was established at that time, and its divisions spread across several continents, among which the divisions in the African continent, the South American continent and the South Pacific are the most important.These three areas are the worst-hit places, and 500 years later, various biological disasters are still emerging one after another.

There are few people on the African continent. Due to cracks in the ground, the entire continent is almost divided into two parts. The biological disaster response forces there are divided into two regions, the north and the south. The working and living conditions are, without exception, extremely harsh.

The situation on the South American continent is relatively better. Except for the Andes Mountains that completely collapsed and disappeared into the Pacific Ocean, the rest of the land is still intact.Although there are many large and small cracks, and most of the creatures that originally lived on the land have died, after five centuries of long years, nature is restoring all these with the strongest recovery ability.

The biological disaster response force in the South Pacific is the most powerful force in all regions.

Not only are they numerous, but their tools are also extremely advanced, such as satellite positioning systems that are impossible in many regions.

The Australian continent has completely disappeared on the earth, and what is now deeply buried in the ocean is the huge meteorite.

Meteorites brought strange bacteria and pathogens, and it took humans a long, long time to eliminate these terrible diseases.

And after all this was gradually brought under control, many strange islands appeared around the meteorite, completely unseen fish began to appear in the ocean, and brand-new marine creatures wandered on the west coast of the South American continent. Changes in elemental content are gradually affecting the world's oceans.

When Jiang Che and Ovid proposed to join the biological disaster management team, out of respect and gratitude to the two, the headquarters promised that they could choose any one of the troops in the world to join.

Only the South Pacific troops were excluded.

This is the most dangerous and difficult unit.

"Fei Lian will serve in the South Pacific Biological Disaster Response Force next year?" Ovid couldn't believe it. "How is this possible? Ground forces can also have starships?"

"The South Pacific Biological Disaster Response Unit just applied for it last month." The boss in charge of handling the two applications for leaving the team told them, "Fei Lian is not yet able to join the Earth Defense Fleet. They need to serve on the ground for three years to accumulate experience. But Homer's AI will be loaded on the starship next year."

Jiang Che and Ovid looked at each other: This is different from what I said before, and Fei Lian will not agree.

The man who stamped the passes of the two laughed out loud.

"Is there any answer? It's just an artificial intelligence, can it still choose?" He handed the pass to Jiang Che, "Complete the report within today, you can leave tonight, and you must return to the headquarters to accept within a week Next mission."

Jiang Che didn't answer: "Shouldn't we have a one-month vacation?"

"Your group is gone for the time being." The boss said, "A large number of suspected half-zombified humans have appeared in Venezuela. The crisis office there cannot solve it, so they sent us an application for assistance."

He stuffed the pass into Jiang Che's hand: "There's enough time, don't worry. It's enough to start from our place to the Equator No. 13 Museum in one day."

Jiang Che and Ovid had no choice but to put the pass in their arms.A month's vacation was in vain, and the plan to go to Marseilles seemed impossible.

"Semi-zombified human beings have never been our scope of work." Ovid was still nagging unwillingly, "We deal with biological disasters, but humans are not what we should deal with. There are not very powerful ones in the Crisis Office." What... a special human?"

"Regardless of semi-zombification or full zombification, he is still a human being, and a human being is a living thing, and it is also within our scope of responsibility." The boss also gave the two of them the mission letter, and said with a smile, "Just take the power of attorney." Just give it to Julian, he already knows about it. By the way, there are two spring slaves in the South American Crisis Office, if you two see each other, remember to take a picture and show me back."

Ovid looked down at the assignment letter in his hand. At the end of the paper, there was an orange square stamp with the words "South American Emergency and Crisis Management Office" inside.

"Quannu, is that a short-lived but very beautiful creature?" After leaving the headquarters building, the two rushed back to the dormitory to pack their luggage.Ovid was full of curiosity about the next task, and kept asking Jiang Che.

In fact, Jiang Che himself is not very clear.He only knew that this institution existed before, but he didn't know who it was.

"Maybe Fei Lian knows." He said, "We'll just ask him."

That night, the two rushed out the complete work report and threw it to Julian, and immediately took a small aircraft to the Equator No. 13 Museum.

The small aircraft can fly automatically as long as the speed and location are set. Jiang Che placed food on the ground in the back half of the aircraft. After setting the data, Ovid sat on the ground with him and ate for most of the day.

"After I just entered the place name 'Equator No. 13 Museum', the system automatically recognized the coordinates." Ovid stuffed the rice roll wrapped in meat floss and vegetables into his mouth, and said vaguely, "There is still a place in that place." The alias is displayed in the system."

Jiang Che gulped down the beef jerky that came out of the headquarters kitchen: "What's another name?"

"Equator No. 13 Museum, also known as the Artificial Intelligence Development Museum." Ovid said.

Jiang Che was taken aback for a moment.

There are a total of 15 different types of museums on the equator line, such as the very famous Rainforest Museum, Extinct Biology Museum, etc., but there is also an artificial intelligence museum, which is beyond their expectations.

But Jiang Che soon realized that this might be the most suitable place for Fei Lian.

The Equator No. 13 museum is relatively close to the headquarters. The small aircraft drove slowly all night, and landed on the apron on the roof of the museum in the early morning.

Ovid jumped off the aircraft and saw someone standing on the apron to greet them. After a brief greeting, he immediately asked, "Is Fei Lian awake?"

The man was stunned for a while, then laughed out loud: "It's an artificial intelligence, there is no difference between waking up and sleeping."

Ovid slapped his head, indicating that he was sleepy.

But he didn't think so in his heart.Anyone who has stayed on the Phoenix knows that Fei Lian can "sleep".His resting time is of course different from that of human beings, but he has actually been operating for a long time, and every once in a while he needs to use the minimum energy to maintain the operation, allowing each system to rest for a while.

Jiang Che and Ovid followed the people who greeted them to leave the apron and enter the building.

The museum looks very imposing from the outside, like a complete and smooth rhombus, with one sharp corner inserted into the ground, and the other five corners poking in all directions.The apron was at the corner pointing to the sky, and they took the elevator all the way down to the first floor.

Fei Lian was already standing at the entrance of the corridor waiting for them, his face still had that indifferent and unmoving expression.

But he still smiled when he saw Ovid rushing out of the elevator towards him.

"You can't hold me." He was Ovid's size. "I'm incorporeal."

Ovid put his arms around him: "Can you let me take a good pose?"

Fei Lian fell silent.

Then Jiang Che also came over and opened his arms around him.

This gesture has no meaning to Fei Lian.His program told him so.But his program also told him at the same time: This is called hugging, which is a way for human beings to express their emotions. It means trust, intimacy, longing, love... many, many words that Fei Lian finds difficult to understand but interesting .

There was no one in the museum at this time.This was Fei Lian's request, and it was granted.

"Because this is the last stop of the global tour of the 'Phoenix Airway'." Fei Lian led them into the museum, where the corridors and walls slowly lit up with soft light, just like on the Phoenix, "Afterwards all my data and systems will be removed from the Phoenix."

He spoke very calmly, but both Jiang Che and Ovid stared at him closely.

For them, Fei Lian was almost the only link between them and the past.

"Can't you serve in the Earth Defense Fleet next year?" Ovid asked, "I heard that the South Pacific Biological Disaster Response Force is the place with the worst conditions and the most difficult conditions. Can you do it?"

Fei Lian looked back at him strangely: "I'm just an AI."

Ovid: "Oh... yes."

He was a little melancholy.Everyone is reminding him: This is just an artificial intelligence.

Of course he knew that Fei Lian was just an AI, but in his heart, Fei Lian was far more than just an AI.Ovid even wants to tell everyone who reminds him: Feilian can be happy, angry, excited, and shy, and he is the same as people.

Jiang Che asked Fei Lian: "Why can Tolstoy serve on the starship, but you can't? Is there something wrong?"

"A small problem." Fei Lian didn't seem to care much about it. "To enter the starship service, both humans and artificial intelligence must pass some kind of test. I haven't passed it."

This sentence pulled Ovid back from his messy thoughts: "Wait...you haven't passed? How is it possible? Didn't you say that the AIs on the Earth starship are all your brothers and sisters? They can pass, but you can't." ?”

Fei Lian shrugged: "I have one more human emotion processing program than them."

Jiang Che and Ovid showed suddenly realized expressions.

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Che asked, "What if you still fail the test after serving in the biological disaster response force for three years?"

"There is a very simple solution. They tried to modify my personality parameters and reduce the interference scope of human emotional processing programs." Fei Lian stood still, "but I refused."

The author has something to say: It seems that the spaceship will be released tomorrow... I will try to update more on weekends.

To answer a small question about the ending of Jiang Che's sister Jiang Mu, that is, the Flying Scene and the Ekaterina.

I will not explain the final outcome of these two ships in the following article, maybe I will mention a few words, but Jiang Mu and Jiang Che will never meet again (but the Copernicus will still appear).

Some of the countless ships in the "Great Evacuation" arrived in Marseilles smoothly, some crashed on different planets, and some, like the Phoenix and Homer, were found after wandering for a long time and got a new life.

With ships like this, there will naturally be ships like the Flying Scene and the Ekaterina.

They may wander somewhere in the universe forever, and may be discovered by their compatriots one day in the future.But the people on the ship will not be alone: ​​the flying scene ship and the Yekaterina have left precious records for the people on the space station during their stay at the Egret space station. living.

For them, the ship is just a floating island, a land in another sense, and a home.It will continue to explore and discover, new life will be born, and it may even find a habitable planet like Marseille.

The ships in "The Great Retreat" have various destinations, and I think this is one of them.
