wandering planet

The South Pacific Biological Disaster Response Force where Fei Lian works is a veteran force.

Since the South Pacific region is the most serious and complex biological disaster on the entire planet, the selection of personnel for this force has always been extremely strict.

He was rejected 38 times before he was allowed to enter the unit-this is something Fei Lian only learned later.

"AI? We don't need AI." Captain Russell, the person in charge of the mission area, said to the people in the South Pacific Division. "We don't have time to take care of a robot."

After completing the "Phoenix Airway" global tour, Fei Lian returned to the place where he was born, and re-entered and understood the data with the help of researchers.The situation in the South Pacific is worse than he thought. Although it is only an artificial intelligence, Fei Lian really feels the sadness in front of the cruel reality shown by countless data and pictures.

In the place where the Australian continent originally existed, meteorites filled the gap after the disappearance of the continent. In 500 years, countless islands of different sizes were formed on the sea surface, and almost every time a new island was born, a new biological disaster would follow.

New organisms, mutated viruses, never-before-seen bacteria...these are the causes of biological disasters.

Ocean currents keep bringing these "pollution sources" to all parts of the world.They are generally extremely harmful and aggressive. Once they enter a stable ecological circle, the ensuing ecological disaster will be devastating.

The South Pacific Biohazard Response Force spends most of its time fighting these budding biological disasters.

In the rest of the time, they have to deal with the biological disasters that have already taken shape, that is, go deep into the source of the disasters, destroy certain creatures, or kill certain viruses.

It is hard to tell which of these two types of tasks is more dangerous.

For more than 500 years, the South Pacific troops suffered countless casualties.But this most dangerous place still has new recruits joining and veterans quitting every year.

Fei Lian first arrived at a small island in southern Indonesia, then set off from the small island and flew directly to the mission area he was going to.

He was loaded on a ship named Diamond Jellyfish, and finally arrived at the location of the mission area after a six-hour flight.

This is a made land.

Several islands are connected together, and the gaps between the islands are filled, and the original group of islands clustered together forms a piece of land that is not too big or too small.

The ninth area of ​​the South Pacific biological disaster response force is located on this man-made land.

Fei Lian temporarily hibernates, the system left the diamond jellyfish ship, and then was installed in the office area of ​​the ninth district.

This area had originally installed an intelligent logistics processing system. Due to the slow upgrade of the system and the large number of people coming and going in the ninth district, it gradually became insufficient.

Before Fei Lian set off, the researcher asked him if he felt that he was overqualified.

"Yes." Fei Lian said frankly, "but I obey the organization's arrangement."

"If you let us modify your personality parameters... you won't be going to the ninth district to do logistics."

Fei Lian didn't think it was a pity.

His logical judgment program tells him that his choice is better.

"The work I do on the Phoenix is ​​also about logistics," he said. "In any case, I will not modify the personality parameters."

After waking up again, Fei Lian found himself standing in a wide space.

It appeared to be a huge conference room, surrounded by hundreds of tables and chairs around him, enclosing him in the center.

It's just that there is only one person sitting in this huge conference room, a woman who is smoking a cigarette and puffing.

"Your name is Fei Lian, right?" The woman flicked the cigarette ash, and pressed the cigarette butt out in the palm of her hand.

Fei Lian remembered that when he was on the Phoenix, he would occasionally see Lin Ni doing such movements.Whenever this time, Song Junxing or others would walk over and grab his hand to stop him.Linney seemed to be just out of habit to snuff out the cigarette butts in his palms. He was reminded a lot and gradually stopped doing it.

"Does your hand not hurt?" Fei Lian asked, "I advise you not to do this. The follow-up treatment is more troublesome. The work in the ninth district often involves diving. If your hand is injured, the work effect will also be affected."

The woman froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"How can there be an AI like you..." She jumped off the table, and then said suddenly, "Oh, I remembered, you are different from our previous system... What program do you have that allows your Logic and expression are closer to human thinking, right?"

She walked out of the blind spot of the lights, and Fei Lian immediately recognized that the woman in front of her was the executive captain of the Ninth District, Captain Russell.

Russell has a pair of unpleasant light gray eyes, short and neat red hair, and two scars extending from the collarbone to the ears on the side of the neck, which are left by the strange beast attack during the battle.She is not tall, and even looks a little short among the soldiers, but her actual combat performance and theoretical performance are exceptionally good, and because she comes from a military family, she has always been very successful in the army.

Her husband died almost ten years ago while serving in the South Pacific Army, and his body was never found.She then applied to be transferred to the South Pacific Army for ten years.

Russell walked up to Fei Lian, who was half a head taller than her.

The boy lowered his head slightly, staring at the captain in front of him.

"Captain Russell, I'm your subordinate Fei Lian." He formally greeted her.

Russell looked at Fei Lian for a long time.

"Your image doesn't look like a soldier at all," Russell said. "Can you really manage the entire camp of the Ninth District?"

Fei Lian noticed that her tone was much softer.

"I have served on the Phoenix for more than 500 years, and I have never had the experience of serving on the ground. But I have done a lot of study before I set off." Fei Lian continued in one breath.

It seemed that he hadn't said so many words for a long time.After returning to Earth, they no longer need him to express, all the data is stored in his system, and all they need to do is retrieve it and check it.In Fei Lian's memory, the last time he gave a long speech was when he talked about the Kuiper belt on the Phoenix.

Russell listened carefully, even with a slight smile on his face.

After Fei Lian finished speaking, she didn't deny or agree with what he said, but just stretched out her palm for Fei Lian to look at her palm.

Her uniform shielded both hands tightly, and there was a metal disc in the center of the left palm that she used to snuff out cigarettes.

"I won't get hurt," Russell said. "I asked them to make this disc. I smoke everywhere I go. It's my habit."

Fei Lian nodded silently, half understanding.

Russell didn't seem to have a bad impression of him, and so did Fei Lian.Although he is more eager to travel in the universe, but now this is an unfulfilled wish.Should be good in the [-]th arrondissement too.He thought to himself, not only can he manage the entire camp, but he will also accompany Russell when he connects with the Diamond Jellyfish and travels on the Diamond Jellyfish.

Russell took him out of the meeting room and went to other places in the camp.

After spending most of the day touring the camp, Fei Lian gained a lot of nicknames. "Little handsome guy" is normal, "yellow man" he can understand, "dark wizard" is beyond the scope of his knowledge, and the last man who whistled at him and called him "little ass" ate Russell punches.

Fei Lian immediately judged from the damage on the man's face that Russell's strength was much greater than Linney's.

Stepping over the man's body rolling on the ground, Russell entered the room behind him without changing his expression.

Fei Lian stood at the door, both shocked and hesitant.

"Will AI be afraid of this?" Russell was very surprised, "You can't touch it, and you can't smell it."

"But I can see it," said Fei Lian.

This is a very important place in the Ninth Sector camp, they call it the "Anatomy Field".

All new creatures killed by troops during missions will be dragged back to the dissection field for dissection and analysis.In addition, human beings who died after being attacked by new organisms or viruses will also enter the dissection field.

Fei Lian first stepped into the field of anatomy of a new type of creature.More than a dozen strange creatures almost as big as lifeboats were lying on the ground, and thick black and red blood flowed all over the ground, silently flowing under Fei Lian's feet.

Of course Fei Lian couldn't step on it, but he still felt sick.

Huge weird organs were taken out, as were blood-stained eggs, all of which were placed on the ground.

The man performing the autopsy, in a hazmat suit, angrily let Russell out when he found her inside.

"This gas is poisonous." The man pointed to a dead animal that was releasing unknown gas from its stomach. "If you don't want your face to be damaged, please leave the dissection field within ten seconds."

Russell shrugged, and led Fei Lian to leave through another small passage inside the dissecting field.The passage is surrounded by glass and is a long and narrow clean cabin.Russell pointed to Fei Lian: "Over there is the human anatomy field."

Fei Lian only felt that she was too calm: "Are there people from District [-]?"

"Of course there are." Russell looked at the sealed place opposite, "The dozen or so animals were all killed yesterday, and we lost seven of them."

Five of the seven were affected by the biotoxin, and their bodies had to be dissected in order to ascertain the effects of the toxin in the body.

Fei Lian tried to comfort her: "This must make you very uncomfortable."

Russell nodded: "Yes, I might be the one lying there next time."

After analyzing for a moment, Fei Lian felt that what he and Russell said were not on the same channel.

"There are stairs in front, and you can go down to the kitchen." Russell asked him, "You don't need to eat, do you?"

She reached out to touch Fei Lian, and her fingers passed through Fei Lian's body.

"That's a pity," Russell said, "You didn't have the chance to taste the most famous Monster Pie in the Ninth District."

Fei Lian: "What pie? Sorry, this word doesn't exist in my Earth language system."

"Monster Pie, they named it casually." Russell replied, "It's a kind of food similar to pie. There will be various vegetables in it, of course, the main one is meat. As for the specific meat, it depends on what monsters we hunted that day .”

Fei Lian paused, then asked again: "Do you eat the meat of these things?"

He pointed to the dissecting field behind him.

"Eat, and offal too." Russell laughed. "There is a small beast that only lives below 1600 meters below sea level. Its offal is delicious, especially the intestines, which are very crispy."

Fei Lian: "...intestines?"

Russell: "Guts"

Fei Lian: "Captain Russell, do you know... Predators?"

Fei Lian couldn't wait to analyze his latest discovery with Jiang Che and Lin Ni.

People in District [-] not only eat monsters, but also eat all kinds of weird things that grow in the sea.

The Ninth District not only has ordinary people, but also special humans. There is a man who calls himself a sentinel who has a snake with long wings, which looks like a winged snake.

Everyone in the Ninth District loves to listen to his classes.He talked about the Predator, about the "Great Evacuation", about the Egret space station and the Arlans starfield, about the Phoenix and the Homer, about everything that happened and didn't happen in the universe.

"They all like you. That's great, Fei Lian, I'm happy for you." Tang Mo's reply was always slow, "I still want to hear more about the Ninth District."

Fei Lian then slowly told them more about the things he encountered in his work.

He finally has a lot more to talk about than before, and he doesn't have to always talk about the past that can't be repeated.

"Are you having a good time?"

Ovid asked him so, and Russell asked him so.

When asked this question, Fei Lian was about to finish his service in the Ninth District.

But he is still stubbornly unwilling to modify his personality parameters, which means that he can only continue to serve in the ninth district.

"I'm very happy," said Fei Lian. "Thank you, Captain."

"We are also very happy to have you." Russell said to him, "You are more powerful than we imagined, too much. If you stay in the ninth district, I am afraid that you will not be able to play your true role. "

"The Ninth District needs me very much." Fei Lian replied, "There will be no AI more suitable for the Ninth District than me."

This is the truth.Fei Lian not only manages the logistics of the entire camp, but also performs missions with the Diamond Jellyfish, and is an excellent data collection and analysis master.He wears many hats, and each job is done exceptionally well.

Russell leaned against the railing of the diamond jellyfish and whispered, "I really miss you."

It was not Fei Lian who was leaving, but Russell.

There were new scars and wrinkles on her body, and new medals.

Starting tomorrow, she will be transferred to the larger No.13 area.

"You also know the person who will take over. He worked in District [-] last year and is a very easy-going person." Russell thought for a while, "It's easier to get along with than me."

Fei Lian smiled.

The Diamond Jellyfish has just completed its mission. This three-purpose ship is floating on the blue sea, salvaging the corpses of new creatures in the water.

Russell was silent for a moment, then turned to Fei Lian and said, "You may not know that my husband is a bit like you. He has black hair, dark eyes, and the same height."

Fei Lian listened carefully: "A researcher too? Like me?"

"No no, he's a fighter," said Russell. "Much stronger than you."

Fei Lian nodded.

"If we have children, maybe we will be like you." Russell stretched out his hand and touched Fei Lian, who couldn't touch him at all. picture."

Fei Lian was silent and didn't make a sound.He thought of any, and thought of everything he saw when he opened his eyes for the first time.

"Your maker must love you very much." Russell whispered, "You are so perfect, and you are so likable.... Fei Lian, will you grow old?"

"I don't think so." Fei Lian answered her, "My program doesn't have an order to adjust appearance changes according to age."

"That's great...you won't grow old." Russell smiled at him, "My good boy, I hope you will always be happy."

Saying goodbye to Russell, Fei Lian fell into a rare low ebb.

During Tolstoy's return to Earth, they were occasionally connected.

"She is like my mother." Fei Lian sent a message to Tolstoy.

Tolstoy replied quickly: "They look alike?"

"Not at all." Sitting on the table in the conference room, Fei Lian replied silently, "I can show you the photos."

A few moments later Tolstoy's reply arrived.

"Sorry, Phil. I don't understand."

Fei Lian thought, I don’t understand myself.

Along with this reply from Tolstoy came a letter from another place.

It was from Jiang Che and Ovid.

They finished their work on the South American continent and finally got a half-year vacation.

"Fei Lian, we are going to Marseille." Ovid said to him happily, "Let's go to Lin Ni and Song Junxing for drinks. Have you seen Tang Mo's child? He can talk, and he can talk about us." name. Wait, I'll make a video for you."
