wandering planet

Jiang Che felt that it was not good to continue teasing him, so he hugged him heavily and kissed him: "Let's go."

Ovid had nothing to say to him at all, and followed him back to the kitchen with a depressed face.

In order to cheer up Lin Ni as soon as possible, Song Junxing volunteered to prepare hot pot dipping sauce and various foods.Tang Mo and Pierre reaped the crops of vegetables that had grown in the cultivation room with extreme reluctance, washed them and stacked them neatly on the plates.The only small piece of winged snake meat left was also turned out, still covered with frost, cut into long and thin slices, and stacked into a high pile.All of Virgil's fish and shrimp had also been defrosted, and they were placed directly on the table in basins.

Song Junxing was sweating all over his head, busy working in front of a pot of oily and red soup.

"Is it enough? Is it okay?" He asked Jiang Che, "It's so spicy, can I eat it?"

Jiang Che leaned over to take a look, and commented calmly: "It looks spicy, but it's actually not tasty enough to eat."

Although he hasn't eaten chili for a long time, Pierre, who has always wanted to eat spicy food, can't stand this pot of food: "This is...too red. Are all hot pots so spicy?"

"Of course not." Jiang Che smiled at him, "There are also non-spicy ones, but since we got Baiye's silver foil chili oil, we must make the best use of it."

There were dried silver foil peppers, chili oil, Chinese prickly ash, sliced ​​ginger and garlic in the pot of glaringly red soup. Jiang Che sniffed it, and added salt, monosodium glutamate and rock sugar.

Before Lin Ni and Fei Lian entered the kitchen, they could smell the aroma, mixed with spicy and fresh aroma, they all rushed out of the kitchen and went straight into people's noses.

"...The air circulation and purification system has issued an alarm." Fei Lian said to Lin Ni, "This...hot pot, it's just this one time, it's not an example."

When they walked into the kitchen, everyone was struggling to move the tables and chairs, and put all the food and dipping materials around the cauldron.

This is because the pot is too big, not only is it not easy to put it on the table, but also it cannot be heated directly when it is placed on the table, and it is not strong enough to eat.

Jiang Che is learning about the driving of the ship with Pierre.

"You want to drive a ship?" Pierre was picking up a small golden mushroom and inspecting it carefully.The small enoki mushrooms that have been soaked and swelled after dehydration have lost their original beautiful color, and the bright golden color has become very dull, but the fragrance of the mushrooms is stronger than when they were fresh.

"I want to learn." Jiang Che pointed out the door, "Didn't Cicero give us a small ship? I want to learn from there."

Now even Tang Mo became curious: "Jiang Che, why did you suddenly want to learn this?"

In their impression, Jiang Che was not enthusiastic about these things.There are not many things that can arouse his interest, and his purpose of entering the universe is only to return to the earth and find traces of his sister.

Now that Jiang Mu's trace has been found, Jiang Che seems to have some other interests suddenly, and he wants to learn the knowledge of ship driving.

"Our ship has so few people, I can't stay in the kitchen all the time. Small ships can land on planets, but they don't carry many people. If I travel with Lin Ni or Song Junxing, I also know how to drive If it is a ship, their pressure will be much less."

Pierre can certainly teach him: "The operating system of that small ship is very simple, similar to the lifeboat we were on. Or you can learn from the lifeboat."

"It's best to be able to operate it directly after learning it." Jiang Che thought for a while, and decided to learn the operation of the small ship first, "We have to go to other places to find food and water, and the power of the lifeboat is insufficient. It’s useless, it’s still a small ship.”

Listening to the discussion over there, Linney couldn't help asking Ovid, "What happened to him?"

"I don't know." Ovid was honest, "Did you also see the ships in the Arlans star field that day? He became like this after seeing those ships. He asked Fei Lian to drive some ships. And the information on the common sense of the universe, I also read it at night, and I can’t sleep anymore.”

Lin Ni suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of Fei Lian...has he read all the pornographic books that Song Junxing gave him before?"

Fei Lian immediately rushed to Lin Ni from the other side of the kitchen: "I've finished watching it, and I'm rewatching it."

Linney: "...why revisit it???"

Fei Lian: "Some things are hard to understand. For example, why the little widow has only 26 lovers, but has [-] nicknames."

Linney: "Fei Lian, when your maker created you, something was missing."

Fei Lian admitted: "Yes, because my biological age is 17 years old."

Lin Ni: "It's good that you know. These nicknames... don't need to be understood, just read it, and you don't need to understand it. What connotations can Song Junxing's little yellow book have? Have you read my book?"

Fei Lian searched his system, and shook his head after a while: "No. That nickname is fine. There is one more thing I haven't figured out, which is the story about the fisherman and the octopus. As far as I know, the sex organs of an octopus are not... I asked him, but he didn't know, he said you are good at biology, let me ask you."

Ovid shook his shoulders and suppressed a laugh.Lin Ni's face turned pale: "What is the story of the octopus and the fisherman? What kind of book is this! Destroy! Delete! Song Junxing!"

The hot pot was in full swing, Song Junxing didn't know whether he really didn't hear it or pretended not to hear it, and he didn't look up.

"It's ready to be hot!" He shouted, waving the spoon, "Jiang Che said that there is no fermented soybeans and watercress, this hot pot is not authentic. Whether it is authentic or not, eat it first!"

Lin Ni's gaze pierced through the thick steam and landed on Song Junxing's face. Song Junxing blocked it with a spoon: "I've already put the beef down, grab it quickly..."

The conditions are simple and there are not enough things that should be there, but this cosmic assorted hot pot is still very satisfying.

The winged snake meat and beef were all eaten, and Ovid and Song Junxing wanted to stretch their claws to the stored beef, but they were shocked by Fei Lian a few times, and they dared not touch the door of the cold storage warehouse again.

Halfway through eating the fish and shrimp, Jiang Che expressed regret to everyone that if the fish and shrimp were steamed or boiled, the fresh and sweet taste could be restored to the maximum extent, and it was even more delicious than a mouth full of spicy sauce.

Pierre was sweating from eating, and his originally white and shiny skin turned a striking red: "This is delicious too!"

The small enoki mushrooms were soaked in the pot, and they were full of the red and spicy soup containing the taste of gravy and various seasonings. When they were bitten in the mouth, a large amount of spicy and numbing soup came out.The mushroom meat is still very thick, smooth and tender, hot and spicy, making it difficult to smack and touch it carefully. After rolling it in the mouth of the tongue, it is squished to squeeze out the soup, and then swallowed whole.Tang Mo especially likes to eat this. After scooping the bottom of the pot for a long time, he finally couldn't find a small golden mushroom, so he put down the big spoon in disappointment.

Because he wasn't full yet, he found the pasta from the warehouse, and begged Fei Lian to remove the security measures of the warehouse where the fish was raised, and went to fetch a basin of shellfish and brought it over.

The grass is simply cleaned, cut off the root system and put into the hot pot.It was quickly heated into a thick and large piece, and five or six pieces could cover the entire surface of the cauldron.After picking it up and biting it down, I found that the dehydrated and then rapidly heated pastry has a tough and brittle quality, which is very refreshing to chew.

"...The taste is a bit like beef basil." Jiang Che said, "Baiye didn't give us beef offal, and the beef offal is delicious when boiled."

Everyone was already half full, but after hearing what he said, they felt that there was a lot of space in their stomachs, and they stretched out their chopsticks to poke at the weeds in the pot.

Song Junxing pulled out a wire mesh rack and put it on the pot, put the cleaned shellfish on the wire mesh, and roasted them with the heat.

The shellfish quickly opened their shells due to the heat, revealing the soft and tender flesh inside and a puddle of clear juice.

When the juice starts to steam and a string of tiny bubbles, the snail meat will be ready.

A meal of spicy and numbing hot pot makes the mouth sore, and these shellfish without any condiments are eaten, and they feel comfortable and refreshing.The swaying juice in the shell is even sweeter and smoother, and the meat and juice can be sucked into the mouth with a careful suction.Although it is still hot, it is much better than the red oil in the hot pot.

After everything on the table was swept away, Jiang Che slowly got up and opened the lid of another pot.

There was no fire under the pot, and it had been quietly placed in the corner of the kitchen, so no one noticed.Now that he opened it, there was finally a faint scent wafting out, but it was covered by the strong fragrance that filled the room, making it unrecognizable.

"Drink some of this, it will make you feel better." This is what Jiang Che and Ovid cooked before looking for the little enoki mushroom. .”

The tubers are indeed very similar to sweet potatoes, and even the boiled sugar water tastes almost exactly the same.The sweet and cold liquid entered the throat and fell into the stomach, finally extinguishing the scalding fire from the outside to the inside. Everyone coughed several times one after another, each slumped on the chair, too lazy to move.

Pierre rubbed his stomach, and asked slowly, "Can we still eat hot pot tomorrow?"

"There is not so much food." Fei Lian quickly replied before Jiang Che and Song Junxing, "Don't eat like this, we can't sustain the earth."

Jiang Che and Song Junxing looked at each other, and they both saw regret in each other's eyes.

"Aren't there still many planets we haven't visited yet? Go up to find food." Song Junxing said, "Traveling, you have to be happy."

Seeing that they have been eating for so long, I can only read repeatedly in the system, Fei Lian, who reads information books such as "300 Examples of Homemade Simple Hot Pot", "Common Methods of Making Delicious Hot Pot" and "Eating in Sichuan and Chongqing". A strange numerical fluctuation appeared.

After a while, his system gave the answer: this kind of numerical fluctuation, in the human emotional model, is called "hating iron but not steel".

"Our mission is to return to Earth!" Fei Lian circled around them, "It's not a trip. This is not a trip, Mr. Song Junxing, please cheer up."

Song Junxing: "I'm very cheered up! I'm full of energy now because I'm full! Fei Lian, look at the amber, look at the people on the egret. They are still living happily every day in such a dangerous place. We should pay tribute to these people. Seniors learn. For example, Cicero, as the station master of the space station, he has a doctor lover. Linney, our captain, he has no one."

Lin Ni ignored his frequent glances, stroked his chin, and thought about what to do next.

After meeting with the Egret Space Station, they not only obtained a lot of important information, such as the Flying Scene and the Ekaterina, they also obtained a small ship with more maneuverability, and even the route back to Earth was corrected up.

And there is another extremely important thing, which is the artificial intelligence Amber from the Egret space station.

Although Hu Po couldn't enter the Phoenix, she and Fei Lian exchanged some basic data with each other.

After completing the data exchange, Amber discovered that Phoenix's subspace transition technology was locked.In the "Great Retreat", the three vanguard ships have more advanced deep space exploration capabilities than the rest of the ships, but in order to keep pace with the forward speed of the entire fleet, the subspace transition technology of the vanguard ships is artificially locked. They cannot make frequent warps.

Amber is an artificial intelligence used in military battlefields, and she has higher authority than Fei Lian.After obtaining the consent of Lin Ni and Fei Lian, Amber released the shackles.

The current Phoenix is ​​the same as other ships in Marseille. As long as the landing point and route are determined, it can make multiple jumps, which basically has no effect on the ship itself.

In other words, the time for them to return to Earth will be greatly shortened.

And just before eating hot pot, Fei Lian and Lin Ni reorganized the time needed for the route.

They want to find the Homer, so the Ios Starfield is a must.According to the current sailing speed, it will take about a week to reach the Ios star field, but if the transition starts from this time, this time will be shortened to about three days.

Finding the Homer is a difficult task. Now Linney is not sure whether he can really find it, and if he finds it, whether the Homer will still have the ability to continue sailing.

The Ios star field is a star field infested by predators, and they must also consider the safety of the Phoenix.

The captain here is thinking about the future of the ship and the crew, and his hair is about to fall out. The crew and AI on the other side are still discussing how to land on new planets and obtain new ingredients.

"What's the name of that planet?" Tang Mo asked Pierre, "It's the one you told us yesterday, the planet specially marked by the Feijing Ship."

"Spider." Pierre quickly remembered, "In the route left by the Flying Scene and the Ekaterina, it seems that two special planets are specially marked, one is called a spider, and the other is called a crab shell."

Ovid thought, something that doesn't sound good.

But Jiang Che thought, spider?Can Spiders Eat?how to eat?Is it yummy?

The two looked at each other silently and smiled, thinking that the other was thinking the same as themselves.

"There are no spiders on the planet." Pierre said again, "Filian translated the message left by the Flying Scene to me. The people on the Flying Scene said that there are no spiders on the 'Spider', but it is very interesting."

Tang Mo took a sip of sugar water and asked, "There is no spider, why is it called a spider?"

neither knows.Which in turn makes the planet curious.

"According to this route, we will reach the spider after two jumps, and the crab shell after five jumps." Fei Lian recalled the content of the route, "After seventeen jumps, we will arrive at the Ios star field .”

The people who were full of food and drink: "Then go!"

The captain has a lot of responsibility and should not clean the galley.Lin Ni said so, patted his buttocks and ran away.

Those who are already in charge of cooking don't need to do the dishes.Song Junxing said so, patted his buttocks and ran behind Lin Ni.

Fei Lian, who had nothing to eat, became devoted to his duties: "I'll give you half an hour to clean up. The leap will start in half an hour."

After speaking, he floated away.

While cursing, the remaining four people threw themselves into the greasy pots and pans and started working.

The dishes are okay, and there is an automatic cleaning device in the kitchen, but the huge pot, the tabletop and stove that were messed up by Song Junxing, and the dirty floor all need to be cleaned.

"After work, I'm hungry again." Ovid said, "It feels like I haven't eaten this hot pot."

At this time, he was walking back to the room with Jiang Che.Half an hour of cleaning up consumed a lot of energy, he wiped his face indiscriminately, and just wanted to go back to his room and sleep immediately.

"Yeah, you shouldn't work after eating." Jiang Che said, "You should be in a daze, you should sleep. You should think about lust when you are full."

Ovid didn't understand, so he walked forward quickly.

He was still not used to the weightlessness and dizziness at the moment of the leap.

Before walking out of the corridor where the kitchen is located, the announcement of the jump has already started broadcasting throughout the ship.

The arbitrary voice was calm and steady, reminding everyone on the ship over and over again that the transition will start in 2 minutes, please fix yourself immediately.

The Phoenix is ​​huge, and 2 minutes is nowhere near enough time for them to get back into the room.

"Catch me." Jiang Che stretched out his hand to Ovid.They stood in front of the huge porthole, with the abyss-like starry sky beside them.

After leaving the egret space station, they have entered the starless zone known as the "wilderness".This wilderness of the Milky Way is the smallest number of various stars in the star field known to mankind.There are no huge planets around the Phoenix, only stars shining in the extreme distance, from all directions, from all directions, like a cocoon formed by faint light, enveloping a lonely sailing ship.

"Why don't you fall? Don't you feel dizzy?" Ovid grabbed Jiang Che's hand and got into Jiang Che's arms, "Because you have trained before?"

"Well, people who want to enter the freezer for space navigation have to go through some training." Jiang Che faced Ovid face to face, smiled, grabbed the handle on the wall, and fixed Ovid in his arms, " You haven't learned that and you're out of school."

"It may also be that a certain part of my brain is not working." Ovid recalled the knowledge he had almost forgotten. "Is it the cerebellum or the pituitary gland? The one responsible for body balance..."

The signal for the start of the jump was finally sent.

The floor and walls of the Phoenix began to vibrate, and the entire ship trembled slightly, as if charging for a sprint.

Ovid subconsciously closed his eyes.

Before the dizziness and weightlessness came, someone kissed his lips.
