wandering planet

There are many planets in the Sirius belt, the most special ones are the Graia series and the Rust series.

There are 26 planets in the Griya series, named after the transport ship "Griya" that crashed in this planetary belt during the "Great Retreat". The naming method is simple and easy to remember, and has historical significance, which is convenient for teaching .Since there are 26 planets of similar size and planetary environment in the Sirius belt, they are collectively called the Griya series.

The planets of the rust series were only observed more than 200 years ago. They are generally small in size, the atmosphere on the planet is turbid, and the land and water are full of various metal elements, among which iron is the majority.The astronomers of the Marseille Science Agency originally planned to name these dozens of gray-black asteroids, but in the next few months, they actually observed nearly 40 similar asteroids around the Sirius belt!

The astronomers were very tired, and finally determined the name of these asteroids by looking through the dictionary: rust.

As for the sorting, it varies from 001 to 056 according to the order of discovery.

It is said that there is a terrible test question in the annual assessment of the Marseille Science Agency. Those who participate in the assessment will see a gray-black asteroid on the electronic screen. The star is surrounded by a cloudy atmosphere. Black smoke from the planet Drill out and melt into the atmosphere.

Then you need to identify which rust it is within ten seconds and write its serial number accurately.

Countless people have failed under this topic, including the head of the Science Department.But he was still very stubborn and unwilling to abolish this question, and increased the difficulty of the question: changed the complete picture of the planet to a partial picture of the planet.

Jiang Che had never heard of these things. Ovid lived in Marseilles and was very familiar with these gossips circulating on the Internet.Jiang Che listened to it like a story, and ate the butterfly cake with relish, until Ovid reminded him: "You've finished eating, what should Tang Mo do?"

Jiang Che finally stopped: "Then don't eat. Are you still sleeping?"

"I'm full of sleep." Ovid changed his words as soon as he finished speaking, "No, I didn't sleep at all! I'm not by your side, so I can't sleep."

Jiang Che rubbed his ears, but didn't hear clearly what he just said.

"Would you like to find diamonds, or honey?" he asked.

"Gold and diamonds for Bering," said Ovid, "and honey for you."

Jiang Che found the dried meat from another cardboard box: "Huh?"

"For you, I'm going to find honey!" Ovid leaned forward and said, "Did you hear clearly, Jiang?"

Jiang Che's ears were uncomfortable.He is not very used to the air pressure inside the lifeboat. Although the gravity inside the ship has fully simulated the gravity of Marseille, its device for adjusting the air pressure does not seem to work well.Jiang Che always felt that his ears were swollen, and sometimes there was a slight buzzing sound.

He rubbed his ears again, missing Ovid's words: "What did you say?"

Ovid was discouraged: "I said, please give me a bag of jerky."

Since Linney refused to enter the bridge, in order to respect his opinion and also to ensure the safety of the lifeboat, Pierre did not include Linney in arranging the watch.The four of them are in groups of two, and it is actually very tiring to keep on duty.

When the time is up, Jiang Che and Ovid will take over from Pierre and Tang Mo to be on duty in the cab.

The two walked to the cab, just in time to hear Pierre talking to Tang Mo about Gloria F.

"Although the Griya worker bees are difficult to deal with, the little golden mushrooms that grow near their nests are very delicious. Have you ever eaten little golden mushrooms?" Pierre was very enthusiastic.

"I've never eaten it. Can I eat it? How?" Tang Mo was eager to try.

"It's a little expensive, one would cost three hundred Mosaic dollars, the price five years ago. Now it's getting less and less, so it's probably more expensive." Pierre swallowed, "However, it's really delicious... "

The nests of Graia worker bees are usually built on top of rocks. Because there is a lot of rain on Graia F, many small pools are often formed at the foot of the mountain, and the small golden mushrooms grow in such small pools.The corpses of the Graia worker bees were buried in the soil near the water pool, and it was also covered with gold diamond shavings that fell after the Graia worker bees gnawed.Due to the relatively small number of research samples, the Maasai people still don’t know why the enoki mushrooms are so delicious, whether it is related to the corpses of worker bees and gold diamond chips, but like gold diamonds and honey, due to their scarcity and preciousness, the price in the market is constantly increasing. soaring.

Ovid couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help interjecting: "Three hundred mosaics for a mushroom? Is it 'a bit' expensive? That's very expensive, Pierre."

"But it's really delicious." Pierre was not good at defending, and said one sentence over and over again: delicious.

Small golden mushrooms are not golden when they are grown and picked.Its canopy is about the size of a baby's palm. It is gray when it is born, but it will fade and turn white when it grows to a certain extent.The canopy is thick and round, supported by equally strong and round stalks, and they are squeezed round the edge of the pool one by one.

Picking enoki mushrooms is very difficult, second only to collecting honey from Griya worker bees.Although the worker bees have no sense of protection to the small golden mushroom, the place where the small golden mushroom grows is too close to the worker bee's nest.Seeing that the Twolegs ran to the door of his house, he didn't bite or sting twice, I'm sorry for the notoriety of the Griya worker bees.

Over time, the Maasai developed the use of robots to harvest honey and mushrooms.

But to everyone's surprise, the IQ of the Griya worker bees was higher than expected. They quickly understood what these strangely shaped iron blocks were for, and they all rose up to attack.Since the molars and needles of the worker bees are very hard, the robot's joints are easily damaged, and it may not even be recycled in the end, becoming a pile of garbage on the Greia F.

After listening for so long, Ovid finally understood: "So, Pierre, your family is really rich."

Jiang Che signaled Pierre to ignore Ovid: "The little golden mushroom is white, why is it called golden mushroom?"

Pierre came alive again: "Because it changes color when it is heated!"

On the tables of rich people in Marseille, enoki mushrooms are generally used to pursue the original taste.Cut the stems off the mushrooms and place them belly side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the mushrooms with ground sea salt and black pepper and put them in the oven when you're ready to bake.

The enoki mushrooms will change color immediately in the oven.First, the edge of the umbrella turns yellow, and then the color-changing area gradually covers the entire umbrella surface, and the longer the heating time, the stronger the golden color, and a small golden mushroom often shows a very beautiful gradient golden color.Put the roasted enoki mushrooms on a clear disk, and then decorate with green or blue vegetables, it becomes a simple but delicious roasted enoki mushrooms with black pepper.

Sea salt adds umami to the enoki mushrooms, while black pepper refines the aroma.The hollow in the center of the belly of the small golden mushroom is filled with juice, which oozes out from the inside of the golden mushroom after heating.The juice is clear but full-bodied, the mouthfeel is like a good soup, mellow but uncomplicated, it is extremely pure fresh and sweet.

Eating enoki mushrooms is also very particular, first drink the small sip of juice in the nest, and after a short aftertaste in your mouth, you have to drink a sip of lemonade.The lemonade dilutes the mellow taste of the enoki mushroom juice, and retains a fresh and refreshing breath in the mouth. When you chew the enoki mushroom at this time, you can taste the crisp, slippery, and tough tastes in addition to refreshing .

The baked mushrooms have already released most of the water, but they are not too dry. The special plant fiber makes it crispy to the bite, but not rough, slippery and tough.

It is said that there is a god of food who can judge the continent where it was produced in Greia F by the creaking sound when chewing a small golden mushroom, and can identify the growth environment of this small golden mushroom from the taste of the juice.

"Actually, this God of Cookery is my father." Pierre said with a smile, "If you eat a lot, you can tell the difference naturally, and it's not a special skill."

Ovid wiped his saliva: "How much do you have to eat to develop this kind of tongue?"

Pierre: "Uh...at least a hundred?"

Ovid: "One mushroom is three hundred mosaics, and one hundred mushrooms is thirty thousand mosaics..."

He turned to look at Tang Mo: "Tang Mo, there is not much difference between 3000 Maasai and your [-] million usury."

Tang Mo nodded repeatedly.

Pierre looked at Ovid in shock.

Jiang Che: "Pierre, now you understand why he couldn't graduate from the academy."

After hearing Pierre's little golden mushroom, Ovid now has a new layer of yearning for Gloria F.

Jiang Che chatted with him without saying a word, Pierre and Tang Mo went back to rest respectively, except for the two of them, the voices in the cockpit were the occasional beeps from the instruments, but it seemed very quiet.

Outside the lifeboat, there are planets of different sizes, far and near.And outside the Sirius planetary belt, there is a wider and wider universe.The lifeboat shuttled silently among the stars, like a lone boat.

Ovid was eating a pack of jerky, and Jiang Che asked him to teach him how to use the console and how to drive a ship.

"Can we still get in touch with Faust? Or the Rouge?"

"It's not working for the time being." Ovid said, "After Faust enters the Luge, the signal will be blocked, and we will not be able to connect to the communication frequency of the military ship. I guess we will have to wait until the Black Sea to know what is happening on their side. How about it."

As soon as the voice fell, the small green light on the console lit up, indicating that there was a communication request.

After a while, Song Junxing appeared on the screen.

He has now turned back indoors, and there is no longer the large ruins behind him.Some words that Jiang Che could not understand were brushed on the white wall, a few pictorials were pasted up, and there was also a machine with a strange shape hanging on it.

Song Junxing changed his clothes and sat on the chair leisurely, holding a box of sandwich biscuits in his hand.

"Hi." He greeted Jiang Che and Ovid, "Just you two? Great, great."

He said he didn't want to speak to the defiant driver.

"You actually cut off the connection with the transfer station without permission! This is against the rules!" Song Junxing was a little angry, "It's better not to let such a person drive the ship, he is too impulsive and not calm enough. Have you only played simulated navigation on the game console? ? It doesn't look like a college graduate."

"Although he didn't graduate from the academy...but he is from the Leeswright family." Ovid said, "The Leeswright family, you know, grew up on real ships."

Half of the biscuit in Song Junxing's hand dropped: "The Leeswright family?! General Leeswright's son?!"

He lowered his head to pick up the biscuit that fell on the ground, with a different expression on his face: "Then I was wrong, this is not good, I have to get close to him."

- "How?"

Linney's listless voice came from the cab door.

He didn't seem to have slept well, yawned tiredly, sat on the only chair left in the cab, and snatched the package of dried meat from Ovid's hand.

"Come on." He ate the jerky and looked at Song Junxing on the screen, "Come on. If the trick is good, I will ask my father to make you a general."

Song Junxing coughed lightly, smiled, and greeted him: "Hello, General Lee Swright's child."

Linney chewed the jerky, expressionless, and did not answer.

"I think it is necessary for me to get to know you again." Song Junxing sat up straight, "My name is Song Junxing, I am 26 years old, and I am the administrator of the Black Sea transfer station. I have been in the Black Sea for five years, and I will leave in five years." I can go back to Marseille. After you arrive at the Black Sea, you can tell me anything you need."

Jiang Che and Ovid looked at each other: Song Junxing didn't say that before.

Ovid focused on his age: "You've been a steward of the Black Sea since you were 21? Didn't you just graduate?"

"No." Song Junxing said, "I had graduated four years ago."

Lin Ni was taken aback: "...you only have a high school degree?!"

Song Junxing: "Yes."

Linney: "Then how can you be an administrator!"

Song Junxing: "I am actually very puzzled by this question. If I have the opportunity, I hope to have a face-to-face communication with General Lee Swright once or twice. I think this should clear up my confusion and allow him to see my ..."

Lin Ni let out a piercing sneer, sat back in his chair and ate the jerky with relish, and ignored Song Junxing.

Song Junxing waited for a while, then turned to Jiang Che and asked, "Is this person always so rude?"

Jiang Che thought of the perfect smile he showed himself when he saw Lin Ni on Faust for the first time. "No." Jiang Che replied, "When he is in a good mood, he is very suitable for his status. Would you like to coax him again?"

Song Junxing resumed his previous sitting posture, casual and lazy: "Forget it, I am not interested in the general at all. Just let me go back to Marseilles, and I will resign when I return to Marseilles. Who cares about generals and not generals. General Lee Swright's So what about my son? When you arrive at the Black Sea, you still have to listen to me."

Jiang Che and Ovid have no interest in whether he can become a general by being close to Linney.Considering that he will arrive in the Black Sea in the future, Jiang Che said to Song Junxing, "Lin Ni's temper is a bit weird..."

Linney glared at him disapprovingly.

"... But it may be because he is a writer." Jiang Che said very seriously, "You know, people who engage in literature and art are qualified to have a weird temper. His books are all bestsellers, maybe you have read them. "

Song Junxing: "What did you write?"

Jiang Che poked Ovid.Ovid quickly answered: ""Spirit in Fire", "The Adventures of the Hero's Tomb", "The Last Sunset in the Starry Sky of Marseille", "Goodbye, My Lover in Prussia"..."

"It sounds unpleasant." Song Junxing opened another box of snacks, this time it was diced meat. "I never read boring serious literature."

Linney sneered again.

"I'm afraid you can't understand it, either?" he said. "Although what I write is not serious literature, but you only have a high school education, can you understand the metaphors in my works? My works are at the top of the bestseller list and the most popular." After staying for a year, which serious literature can match my level?"

Song Junxing showed a very happy expression: "So you wrote a best-selling book? Are there any best-selling works that make you happy after reading it? I like to read "Isa and Her Thirteen Husbands", "I and the Man Bathing in the River" "Naked Girl", ah yes, my favorite book this year is "The Love of a Widow" written by Mr. Malt. If you can write at this level, I would still read it..."

Sound and picture suddenly disappeared.

Linney stood up and cut off the communication. Since he didn't hold it properly, all the jerky in his hand fell to the ground.Ovid hurriedly bent down to pick it up: "Why are you so wasteful... Fortunately, it is individually packaged."

"What is this man talking about!!!" Linney yelled, "What is he using to compare my book!!!"

Jiang Che: "Hey, you can't belittle slightly vulgar works at will..."

Linney: "It's not a vulgar thing! It's vulgar! It's vulgar!!!"

Jiang Che: "Hey, even if it's vulgar, you can't just cut off the communication..."

Lin Ni found that it was difficult for him to communicate with these people, so he turned his head and strode out of the cab.

A moment later, Song Junxing sent another video communication request.

"You have all seen it." Song Junxing said while eating diced meat, "I can't communicate with him. So don't let him talk to me again in the future, we are very tired of each other."

Jiang Che hummed a few times, then remembered something: "Did you send the communication request just to have a fight with Lin Ni?"

Song Junxing: "Of course not. He interrupted my train of thought. I want to talk to you about the food problem."

It is true that there is not enough food stored in the Black Sea.

Every six months, Marseille will deliver supplies to the Black Sea.It has only been a month since the last delivery of supplies in Marseille, and five people suddenly added to the Black Sea, so there must be not enough food.Jiang Che and the others have left the ship and the prescribed route without authorization, and they cannot let the people in Marseille know their whereabouts, so it is impossible to suddenly apply for additional supplies.

Jiang Che felt very strange, since Heihai had already decided to abandon it, why did he arrange for an administrator to stay there for ten years, and took such trouble to maintain the operation of this abandoned transfer station?But he didn't ask.

"I'm the only administrator on the Black Sea, and I can't leave here to go hunting." Song Junxing said, "So please go hunting and find some drinking water."

"There is food and water on the lifeboat." Jiang Che said, "It should be enough."

"Not enough." Song Junxing said immediately, "The materials stored on the lifeboat can only be used for short-term voyages. After you arrive in the Black Sea, you don't know how long you will stay in the Black Sea. Even if the materials on the lifeboat are enough for everyone, you can eat for a long time That kind of thing is absolutely impossible.”

Ovid asked: "Where to go hunting?"

"It's in the belt of the Sirius planet." Song Junxing took out a piece of paper with densely written words on it, "I'll read it to you."

There are many planets on the Sirius planet belt, and there are naturally many that have evolved creatures.There are many black holes near the Black Sea. Song Junxing thinks that lifeboats are not suitable for repeated entry and exit, so he wants Jiang Che and others to go to various planets to search for supplies while they are still in the planetary belt.

"That makes us predators," said Ovid. "It's a violation of the Covenant of Life."

Jiang Che: "What life pact?"

"During interstellar travel, you can't freely enter the planets that have evolved life, and you can't kill any creatures on strange planets. This is a convention of little use." Song Junxing said, "For you now, the life convention It's meaningless, the most important thing is to live."

After a short pause, he changed his tone: "And the planets I plan to let you log on to are all places where Maasai people have already been active, and the food on them is expensive and delicious in Maasai, even if it's just to try something new. It's good to try it."

An ominous premonition suddenly surged in Jiang Che's heart: "What planet do you want us to go to?"

"Go to the nearest one first." Song Junxing looked at the paper in his hand, "Geriya F."

Ovid was very happy, and hurriedly found tools to record.Song Junxing saw the electronic record book in his hand, and immediately rejected it: "No, you are like me, you need to use paper and ink to record. After landing on the planet, due to the influence of the magnetic field, the electronic equipment may fail."

Ovid had no choice but to look for it again: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it fails, there are not many things to remember."

Jiang Che took the paper and pen: "Let's talk."

"There are quite a lot." Song Junxing coughed lightly, and began to read the words on his paper, "The most famous thing on Griya F is besides the honey of Griya worker bees, there are also small golden mushrooms. Of course honey is also required , it can supplement a lot of nutrients, and it is also a very important seasoning. But I hope you pay attention to the small golden mushrooms, which are very expensive in Marseilles and are very valuable.”

He described in detail the growing environment and picking methods of the small golden mushrooms.

Ovid interjected: "Roasted enoki mushrooms with black pepper are delicious, aren't they?"

"Of course!" Song Junxing was very happy, "You are very good at eating! But I think it is better to add sliced ​​butter and sliced ​​garlic together. The butter is roasted, and the sliced ​​garlic is burnt a little bit. Wow, that smells delicious." ..."

He swallowed, and continued: "So when you pick enoki mushrooms, you should remember to pick the white ones. The white ones are the best. They are cooked just right, and they are very fresh and fragrant when baked. The tongue is eaten. Also, there may be a kind of wild vegetable near the place where the enoki mushroom grows. It is long and thin, and the stem near the root is pink. Grilled, it has a smell of cornmeal, I want that too. Then catch some small shrimps in the pool. I have wine here, which can be eaten as drunken shrimp. You can take it or take it. It is delicious in sugar water and cold salad, especially There is a kind of aquatic plant with very round and thick leaves, shredded and stir-fried, it is particularly crispy, and it goes well with rice..."

"Song Junxing." Jiang Che put down his pen, "You are ordering food!"
