wandering planet

What Jiang Che brought out was a plate of steamed chicken legs.

The ten legs of five chickens were all placed in a deep dish, with peppercorns, scallions and ginger slices on top.The dish is relatively deep, so there is a deep dish of steamed soup under the chicken legs, which is fragrant.

He called Pierre, who would never steal, and asked him to tear the chicken legs into shreds.

"The chicken skin is a bit salty, if you don't eat it, leave it to me." Jiang Che poured the chicken soup into a bowl, pointed at the chicken leg and said to Pierre.

"Eat it." Pierre smelled the aroma of this dish of chicken, and his saliva was about to flow down. The bones could be chewed off, not to mention the chicken skin.

Jiang Che continued to heat up the pot and poured oil into it.

Song Junxing felt a little distressed at this time: "Although this oil is my daily necessities, can you save some of it?"

Jiang Che ignored his nagging, and when the oil was hot, he threw all the remaining scallions into the oil pan.With a snort, the scallions burst out of the oil surface immediately.

By the time he finished frying the scallions, Pierre had already torn the chicken.Drizzle the scallion oil on the shredded chicken, and the chicken that was a little bit cold was poured with the rich scallion oil, and the hot aroma suddenly came out again.

Jiang Che mixed the plate well, and put it on the table with a little pride.

A few people looked at the pale dish. "The color is not very pretty." Song Junxing said, "The green onions are not green."

"Nonsense. Your green onions are not fresh at all." Jiang Che said, "Why don't you plant more green onions, ginger and garlic? These are the most important things."

Song Junxing defended: "I planted it! But it was eaten by the chickens raised."

"Don't move your chopsticks." Jiang Che said, "There are still two dishes."

Jiang Che threw the remaining parts of the five chickens into the big pot to cook the soup.Because the soup pot is so big, he didn't chop the chicken into pieces, but threw it in after handling it.At this time, the soup was boiling and there was a gurgling sound. The small golden mushrooms were constantly churning in the boiling water, and five chicken heads were floating on the water.Jiang Che turned down the power, tasted the taste, and continued to cover the lid.

He used the steamed chicken soup to stir-fry a vegetable.Song Junxing grows a lot of vegetables on the Black Sea, which is next to his "farm" where he raises chickens.Although there is plenty of fertilizer, it is often swept away by the sharp claws and sharp beaks of the chickens.

The vegetables are fried and the soup is delicious.Jiang Che added some seasoning, and called Pierre to help him again.

Song Junxing and Ovid hurried to serve the meal. They worked hard for a while, and finally put two dishes and one soup on the table.

Pierre, Linney, and Ovid were not very good at using chopsticks, so they took a spoon to dig rice.The vegetable juice is full of the fresh fragrance of chicken soup, while the scallion chicken is tender, smooth and fragrant. The chicken soup is full of flavor, and the small enoki mushrooms are full of water and flavor.

Song Junxing wolfed down the bowl and continued to scoop up the rice.During the break between eating and drinking, he was extremely envious: "Do you usually eat this kind of food? It's much better than my life in the Black Sea."

Tang Mo swallowed the shredded chicken and answered him: "After we left Faust, this is the first time we have such a good and comfortable meal."

The first decent dinner was at Gloria F.They turned on the searchlights and held a small banquet behind the lifeboat. The smell of enoki mushrooms and salt-and-pepper shrimp is still remembered.

Linney took a sip of his soup.He also remembers.He remembered the song Tang Mo sang that day, and the sentence Pierre accidentally said.

It seemed that from that night on, he felt that being alive was quite interesting.

Then there's Virgil, and Nini, and a meal without a table at all.They lit fires on the beach and hillside, waiting for Jiang Che's works with hunger and anxiety.

"You have Jiang Che." Song Junxing said, "Jiang Che can fill a kitchen by himself."

Jiang Che scooped up the vegetable juice and poured it on the rice: "I can't do everything either."

Song Junxing: "Then what dish do you not know how to cook?"

Jiang Che thought about it.

"Not yet." He twitched his eyebrows, showing a good mood.

Six people ate a big pot of rice and all the dishes.

Once you’ve had your fill, it’s time to discuss what to do next.

Most of the maintenance work on the Phoenix has been completed, leaving only the most critical two: one is the "Great Evacuation" voyage record, and the other is the fuel of the Phoenix, which is its power.

The voyage records have been obtained from the Changyang ship, and the question now is whether the Phoenix can read the data of the Changyang ship.

The Changyang ship is a transport ship, and the Phoenix is ​​a vanguard ship. The systems of the two are different.But they are all designed and built in China, and Song Junxing thinks it is worth a try.

But because the current Phoenix has no power, the backup power of the system has long been exhausted during the inspection of the Black Sea restoration. Not to mention reading data, the system cannot be turned on at all.

"There is an AI on the Phoenix, and it says it can give it a try." Song Junxing said, "So we need to find fuel first before we can continue."

But Phoenix's fuel is special.

It has two power systems, one uses common fuel that most ships use, and the other uses nuclear energy for propulsion.

"I suggest that if we want to use the Phoenix to go to the earth, we should use the second system." Song Junxing said very seriously, "Common fuel is not good, not only is it inconvenient to carry, but also the fuel that was suitable for the Phoenix 500 years ago, I think It is already very difficult to find. If we use the fuel we have, I am afraid that this power system will be damaged."

Linney nodded.He agrees, and the others will have no objections.

"Then where do we go to find this nuclear power?" Pierre asked, "If you're talking about the Birog ring on the Marseille military ship, it's too difficult."

Lin Ni and Song Junxing looked at each other: "That's what we're talking about."

Pierre froze, frowning into silence.

Birog ring is short for a nuclear driver.It was discovered and developed by the Biroger group of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, so it was directly named the Biroger ring.The Biroger ring is a sphere, and the inside of the sphere is filled with substances containing huge radiant energy. They form a complete and recyclable reaction chain inside the Biroger ring, and continuously produce huge energy.

After 50 years of interviews, the Biroger ring began to be installed and used on ships conducting interstellar exploration.

That is to say, starting from the installation of the Birog ring, all ships on the earth have been freed from the power limitations of heavy raw fuel and solar or cosmic radiation energy.The Birog ring is small in size, and although it is heavy, it only occupies a very small place inside the ship.

And because the Birog ring is installed inside the ship, the possibility of being affected by the outside world is extremely small, and its own stability is very high.

In the "Great Evacuation", all ships were equipped with the latest and greatest Birog rings, except for some emergency fuel.

Including three vanguard ships.

"The Birog ring can only be used by military ships or scientific ships." For fear that Song Junxing and Lin Ni would not understand the situation of the fleet, Pierre's tone was very anxious, "Faust is going to the earth this time, because the voyage is very long, so applied for the Birog ring. Even so, the Birog ring carried on Faust is completely different from the military ship and the scientific ship. On the one hand, we use the original fuel, and on the other hand, we also operate the Birog ring, so that we can Back and forth after the voyage."

Jiang Che couldn't understand: "What does this mean?"

"The Phoenix is ​​much bigger than Faust. If we want to use the Phoenix to go to Earth, we have to get the Birog rings used on military ships and scientific ships." Pierre scratched his hair, "But this is Impossible! It is impossible for us to obtain the Biroger Ring from the Marseille fleet, should we attack military ships to snatch it?"

Linney frowned.

"Song Junxing, let me talk to my father, maybe he can help us..."

"Can't talk." Song Junxing said, "All communications between the Black Sea and the Marseille ground port are being monitored. Unless General Lee Swright takes off, the communication between the ship and the Black Sea cannot be monitored in real time by the ground port."

Ovid stacked the dishes together: "Then what to do? Without this ring, how would we go to the earth?"

Song Junxing smiled.

He pointed out the window.That was the direction of the Phoenix.

"We found the Phoenix on the predator's ship. And we found that the Birog's ring of the Phoenix was missing. It disappeared from the interior of the ship completely, but the surface of the ship was not damaged." Song Junxing looked at Lin Ni , "I may not have made it clear just now - the Birog ring of the Phoenix is ​​not decayed, nor is it unusable, it was taken away by the looters."

After the battleship carrying the Marauder was captured, it was pulled back to Marseille through the Sirius planetary belt for research.

On this ship, the Marseilles discovered a nuclear power system that is very similar to the Birog ring, which is much larger than the Phoenix, and has been providing a steady stream of power for the entire huge ship.

"The predators discovered that the Birog ring was the power source of the Phoenix, so they stripped the Birog ring for research, and imitated the Birog ring to create the predator's own 'Birrog ring'." Song Junxing depressed The voice seemed to be sharing a secret with them, "We just need to find a predator ship about the size of the Phoenix and snatch the Birog ring on the ship."

There was silence around the table.

Tang Mo has been listening very seriously.She rubbed her ears, and asked uncertainly, "You mean, we're going to grab the looters' fuel?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Linney stood up, impatiently: "Are you crazy? Do we have weapons? The weapons in the underground ammunition depot of Building Zero are for people, not for ships."

"Think of a way, it's all possible." Song Junxing said with a smile.

Linney walked away without looking back.

There was little consensus in this discussion.

Song Junxing had enough to eat and drink, and went back to his room to rest.From his window, he saw Jiang Che, Ovid and Tang Mo chatting around Pierre.Last night, Linney talked about Pierre's plan to return to Marseille during his beating, and asked him if he was sure to join their team to fill Pierre's vacancy.

But Song Junxing had never been a navigator, so he was not sure.

A navigator is very important to a ship, especially an older one like the Phoenix.The detection and analysis equipment on the ship is far less advanced than that on the current Marseille fleet, and many people may not be able to understand its data.But navigators are different: all navigators in the Marseille fleet need to learn both the old data system and the new data system. In terms of navigating ability alone, Pierre is more reliable than him, Biovid and Linney much.

The four of them sat under a tree full of flowers, Jiang Che raised his hand to rub Pierre's hair, and Ovid also stretched his head over for him to rub.Tang Mo avoided it, and pushed Ovid into Jiang Che's arms by the way.

Song Junxing was watching the conversation that he could not participate in, when he heard the sound of someone approaching his room.

Before Lin Ni could knock on the door, Song Junxing had already opened the door from the inside.

"I want to see the inventory information of the ammunition depot in Building Zero."

Song Junxing was beaten up by him, and he didn't want to make fun of him anymore.He found the archives in stock and gave them to Lin Ni. Lin Ni sat on the bed and looked at the paper documents Song Junxing handed over like a grandfather: "...paper?"

"It's the same as electronic inventory." Song Junxing said, "I was bored alone, so I copied these things."

Linney looked up to the other side of the bed.On the opposite side is a very complete communication system, but some parts clearly show signs of disassembly.

Every time they contacted Song Junxing on the lifeboat, he stayed in a different place.Linney guessed that he had taken a key piece of the equipment out the door.

But why take it out?No one is always ready to contact him.

Linney was not very interested in the answer to this question, so he lowered his head and began to look through the information on the ammunition in stock.

At this moment, the communication system in front of the bed suddenly beeped, and a small green light turned on.

Someone has sent a chat request.

Lin Ni was taken aback, and was about to speak when Song Junxing who was standing by the window suddenly rushed towards him.

"Don't move!" Song Junxing grabbed the quilt on the bed and covered Lin Ni inside, then immediately pushed him aside, and sat in his original position.

Lin Ni was shocked and angry, but Song Junxing put his hand on his waist and said again: "Don't move."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ni immediately heard the sound of the video communication program starting.

"...you just woke up?"

A strange voice sounded in the room.

"Just got up." Song Junxing said with a smile, "I don't know what happened last night, and it destroyed my chicken coop. I have been catching all night..."

"Okay, I'm not interested in these things about you." The voice was very cold, "Song Junxing, don't be too slack, look at your bed, it's in such a mess, you don't look like a qualified employee of the Marseille fleet at all."

Song Junxing replied with a smile: "I was not qualified. How can I come to such a ghostly place if I am qualified?"

The other party ignored it and continued to say: "The intelligence sent back by the patrolling military ship shows that there are many traces of predators' activities near the Black Sea. You have to pay attention."

The conversation was still going on, but Linney was full of surprise.

He was sure that Song Junxing hadn't been in contact with other places when the communication request was sent - but the video communication was automatically turned on.

In other words, this is a communication that Song Junxing cannot control.It's a mandatory video chat.

He closed his eyes, listened carefully to the voice coming from outside the quilt, and gradually understood: This is an instant communication from the ground port of Marseilles to the Black Sea administrator, which cannot be refused or closed.

So even if Song Junxing went out, he had to bring key communication equipment with him.He's not waiting for a lifeboat or anything, he's going to be inspected at the ground port of Marseilles.

They are constantly monitoring the Black Sea.

After finishing the report about the predator, the unfamiliar voice paused and changed its tone slightly.

"Song, this is my personal interview. Although the interview is also monitored and recorded, you can choose not to answer."

Song Junxing's voice was very gentle: "Say it."

"Do you still remember the civilian ship Faust that returned to Marseilles? The fleet inspected the civilian ship Faust, but the number of lifeboats was not correct. After checking the ship's personnel, they found that several passengers on the Faust were still alive. A navigator is missing. I have asked many times, but no one can tell where these missing people have gone. The fleet now speculates that they snatched the lifeboat and escaped from Faust, probably trying to defect from Marseilles."

Song Junxing laughed: "Betray Marseille? Who to go to? The predator? Can we communicate with the predator?"

After a moment of silence, the other end spoke again.

"Song, the fleet now believes that the Black Sea is the most likely place for them to arrive. If you find anything wrong, be sure to report to the fleet."

"There are several of them, and I only have myself. I can't catch them." Song Junxing said.

That person ignored Song Junxing's words and went straight on.

"Remember what I said, don't join them. Song, you know that the only end for defectors is death." The man's tone was calm, but full of danger.
