Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【Identity exposed again】

Chu Qingtian walked over and patted Mu Qiu's shoulder very naturally, sending silent comfort like a familiar friend.

Mu Qiu smiled at him politely and said, "Captain Chu, if you have something to do, go and do it. I will take care of Guide Elsa."

"And you have to take care of yourself." Chu Qingtian nodded, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows, "Did you get scared just now? Let that boy Lin Qing come over to apologize to you when he recovers—why? Can you embarrass our Mr. Mechanic?"

Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment, the style of painting changed too quickly, he didn't know how to answer these words.

Chu Qingtian obviously didn't care about his answer, and continued with a calm expression: "I will give you a day off today as compensation."

Captain Chu left after flirting, and Liu Muqiu stood alone with his red ears on his head, wave after wave... rippling in the spiritual realm.

"Qiu..." Elsa shook his arm.

Only then did Mu Qiu come back to his senses.

"Qiu, I'm sorry..." Elsa said sincerely.

Mu Qiu raised the corners of his mouth and deliberately teased her, "Why don't you cry, little cat?"

Elsa hit him reproachfully, laughing through tears.

"Qiu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I almost caused you to be beaten." Elsa spoke again, her tone full of guilt.

Mu Qiu smiled, and said indifferently: "There is no need to apologize, I really don't know who will win and who will win the fight! You were petrified at the time, right?"

Mentioning this, Elsa became depressed again, and said in a low voice: "Qiu, you may not know that Lin Qing Sentinel and I are relatively compatible. There was a temporary combination because of a mission before, so his spirit Volatility affects me a lot..."

"Hmm..." Elsa paused, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her bi-color pupils, "I seem to be making an excuse for saying this, anyway, Qiu, I'm sorry, please forgive my hesitation."

Mu Qiu sat down opposite her helplessly, touched her head like a comforting child, and said seriously: "Elsa, you don't have to apologize, it's not your fault, do you want to explain to him, do you want to combine with him?" It's your freedom, you know?—well, if you insist, I'll take it."

Elsa smiled again.

After receiving this mental wave of relief, Mu Qiu's spiritual realm also set off waves of joy.

-

Although Chu Qingtian gave them a holiday, neither of them left the infirmary.

Mu Qiu brought over the mechanical parts that he just bought two days ago, and was making some small things in a leisurely manner. By the way, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to make up for that big guy Aubrey - he had too many credit points, he Conscience.

Elsa was sorting out the sentinel's medical records during this period, discussing with Mu Qiu from time to time while summing up her experience.Mu Qiu also benefited a lot from it.

The little goat Polly came to his side at some point, and rubbed Mu Qiu's calf affectionately.

Little Polly raised her head to look at Mu Qiu, if Mu Qiu happened to look at it, the little guy would open her wet eyes and act cute; if Mu Qiu deliberately didn't look at it, it would droop the corners of its eyes and continue rubbing.

After going back and forth like this for several times, Mu Qiu finally couldn't bear it, bent down and touched its small sharp corners.

Little Polly's ears stretched comfortably into airports, and her round eyes narrowed into slits—even the hard corners are so sensitive.

Mu Qiu thought about it, and wanted to see Elsa's reaction. Unexpectedly, the other party had already put down the work at hand and was looking at him with an expression of "as expected".

Mu Qiu curled the corners of his mouth, smiling a little guilty.

Elsa curled her lips, and said bluntly, "Qiu, didn't you really find out? Actually, I already knew."

Mu Qiu was indeed a little surprised, "How early?"

"When you first came here! At that time, you were severely sunburned all over your body, your spiritual realm was crumbling, and the special mental fluctuations belonging to the guide couldn't be hidden at all—of course, if you didn't unconsciously ask for help, I really wouldn't have noticed it."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Elsa was still afraid for a while - even if it was an hour later, Mu Qiu's spiritual realm would probably be permanently traumatized.

On the other side, Mu Qiu was shocked - it was so early!It was in vain that he had "hidden" it for so long, and even denied Elsa's temptation face to face.

Mu Qiu's face was a little burning, and he pretended to be angry and said: "Since you already know about it, you still test me a few times? Interesting?"

Elsa laughed loudly, not hiding her small thoughts, "It's really fun to watch Qiu struggle to deny it but try to pretend to be calm!"

Mu Qiu couldn't help showing a smile, "So you taught me guide knowledge on purpose?"

"Of course, I checked your resume after I discovered the anomaly. It doesn't make sense that the Federal Army would abuse a guide like this. Sure enough, your public identity is just an ordinary person."

As Elsa said, she moved to Mu Qiu's ear mysteriously, and asked in a low voice, "Qiu, are you performing some special mission?"

A woman's imagination...Mu Qiu couldn't laugh or cry, "I don't have any missions. My guide identity does not know more than five people besides myself."

Elsa immediately showed a look of surprise, "God, Qiu, tell me quickly, how did you hide the past five years at the Federal Military Academy?"

"It was 14 years, and I have been in the military academy since I was ten years old." Thinking of the reason why he entered the junior class at the beginning, Mu Qiu felt a dull pain in his heart, "I don't have any skills, it may be that my mental wave is inherently special."

After getting such an answer, Elsa didn't have any doubts at all, she just sighed enviously: "It's really a super useful ability. If I also have it, how could I have been separated from Daddy and Mommy for so long!"

Mu Qiu smiled and said, "I don't know if it's good or bad."

Elsa pursed her lips and said, "Qiu, don't be delusional, delusional...what are you delusional about? Ah, Chinese language is so difficult to learn. Anyway, Qiu, I can feel that your spiritual power is huge, very kind, and you have a kind of The power that makes all guides bow down, yes, bow down, that's the word!"

Mu Qiu patted her on the head with a small robotic arm, "What 'worship'? I'm not the leader of a cult, and I don't have such high pursuits."

Elsa pouted, dissatisfied: "Believe it or not."

Mu Qiu smiled, but didn't take it to heart.

As if remembering something, Elsa asked with a smile: "Qiu, do you know who brought you here that day?"

Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows, isn't he a soldier of the rescue team?

Elsa snorted, and said triumphantly: "I knew you didn't know. Tell you, it's the captain! The captain was so handsome that day, wearing a mecha training uniform, holding a comatose beautiful young man in his arms— - It's the princess hug!"

The gleam in Elsa's eyes was so familiar that Mu Qiu couldn't help shivering—the rotten girl gene is so powerful that it spans time and interstellar space!

-

Since the showdown with Elsa, Mu Qiu has become more at ease in the infirmary, and little Polly can finally stick to him openly, and Elsa is both surprised and annoyed by the warm energy.

Without Mu Qiu asking, Elsa took the initiative to show her loyalty, "Don't worry, Qiu, I will keep it a secret for you."

"Me too!" Little Gore followed closely behind.

Mu Qiu felt a burst of irony in his heart.

Since then, it seems that the last veil has been lifted between the three guides, getting along more naturally and closer, and everything is fine.

The so-called good things come in pairs. Not long after, Mu Qiu once again got the opportunity to "part-time" a mechanic.

Since the operation room of the cafeteria was replaced with solar energy equipment, many eyes have been fixed on this area.

After several days in a row, the operation room not only runs well, but also has a tendency to improve work efficiency, so many people can't sit still.

The first person to come was Gore's father, Mike the miner.

Although the miners in the Draco Constellation are not like the coal miners on the ancient earth, they almost use their lives to make a living, but they are not rich.

Most of the planets stationed by troops like Tianlong 3 are energy stars, which are not only rich in resources, but also relatively safe.

There are roughly three sources of labor in military jurisdictions:

One is that the life on the original planet is not satisfactory, or the individual prefers the target planet, so he voluntarily signs an immigration contract and relocates his family;

The other is side star immigrants.The so-called "side stars" generally refer to remote areas and planets with scarce resources. The federal government is responsible for resettling the aborigines in these places. Correspondingly, those who receive help should also pay a certain price, such as choosing a certain labor force. Shortage planets are settled.

The other is criminals, which are limited to political and economic prisoners who will not pose a threat to the security of the military region.

Gore's family falls into the first category.His father Mike is a handsome young man with a sincere smile.

At this time, this cheerful young man was standing in front of Mu Qiu, expressing his request clearly:

"Mr. Mu Qiu, please don't worry. Captain Chu will definitely not mind your helping the miners in the area under his jurisdiction. On the contrary, he will be happy to see the results—speaking of which, if you can help us to provide energy for the mining machines If the equipment is transformed into solar energy, it will also be of great benefit to Captain Chu—of course, we will pay corresponding compensation, and we will not let you suffer in vain."

The more Mu Qiu listened, the more confused he became. Don't we need to get Chu Qingtian's approval in advance to modify the machines in the mining area?Could it be that these miners want to kill first and play later?

Furthermore, the right to operate the mining area is owned by the Tianlong team, and as a military service member, he has the obligation to serve on demand, so why can he still charge extra?It sounds like the workers paid for it out of their own pockets.

Mu Qiu couldn't understand it, so he had to say: "I don't quite understand what you mean, can you explain it to me in detail?"

Mike smiled at him, and replied wittily: "It's not easy to explain these things clearly. If it's convenient, you might as well go and have a look with me. It's up to you whether you can change it or not. .”

Mu Qiu thought about it for a while, and then decisively agreed.

Mike was obviously very happy, thanking him all the way, and his attitude was very respectful.

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing and said: "Call me Mu Qiu, I heard Gore said that we seem to be about the same age, so you don't need to use honorific titles."

"Okay, Mu Qiu, you can call me Mike too!" The other party was not pretentious at all, which made Mu Qiu heave a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, the military base is not far from the mining area where Mike is located, otherwise he would not be the first to receive the news and find him.

They flew in an old-fashioned aircraft for less than half an hour before they saw tall chimneys.

After seeing the situation here with his own eyes, Mu Qiu really understood the meaning of Mike's words, and also had a preliminary understanding of what changes Chu Qingtian had brought to this planet and the people here.
