Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【Singing from the Deep Sea】

The cute puppet cat and the little golden monkey make Aubrey envious.

He hurriedly ran to Mu Qiu, and said pitifully, "Little guide, I, I..."

Mu Qiu kept a straight face on purpose, "Aubrey, how old are you? Call me 'Little Wizard'?"

"Well, big guide!" Aubrey quickly changed his words and said falteringly, "Can you see... mine?"

Because he didn't have a mental body, he was bullied since he was a child, and later he had no S-level talent but couldn't exert his due ability. The mental body has become a scar in Aubrey's heart.No matter how carefree he is usually, he couldn't help blushing at this time, with excitement full of anticipation and worry about being laughed at.

Seeing him like this, how could Mu Qiu still have the heart to tease him?He stretched out his tentacles and approached Aubrey.

Aubrey dodged instinctively, vigilantly resisting this strange mental wave.

"Don't be nervous, don't resist." Mu Qiu said gently.

Only then did Aubrey realize that Mu Qiu started without any preparation.

It took Mu Qiu a lot of work to enter Aubrey's spiritual realm.His domain is empty and broad, and his spiritual threads are well-organized and strong, without many impurities. Just like Aubrey, he lives a simple life.

Mu Qiu has never helped the sentinel find the spiritual body before, and he doesn't know what to do, he can only let the tentacles wander around the spiritual barrier, repairing the cracks along the way, and straightening out the entangled spiritual threads.

In other words, how did the sentinel guide's spiritual body come about?And, in what form did they exist in the spiritual realm?

If you figure out the second problem, the first problem will be solved.

Mu Qiu thought that every time Little Carrot returned to his spiritual realm, it existed in the form of pure energy, without substance, sometimes scattered on the entire sea surface, and sometimes curled up somewhere on the bottom of the sea—that’s right, Mu Qiu’s spirit The realm is a colorless, clear sea.

If the same is true for the sentinel, then if one can find a place where energy is concentrated, it is likely to be the location of the spiritual body.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiu no longer wandered aimlessly, but spread out his two tentacles, extending to the entire field, and carefully felt the changes in energy concentration...

When the tentacles reached a certain place, Mu Qiu couldn't help being overjoyed, and sure enough, he found it.

There is a mass of pure energy there, and the surrounding air humidity is relatively high, which is obviously different from other places.

"Do you want to go out with me?" Mu Qiu condensed her soft tentacles again, and poked at the ball of energy.

The guy trembled, like a slippery bouncy ball, and floated leisurely to other places, taking away the surrounding moisture along the way.

Eh?

Mu Qiu was dumbfounded, what do you mean?

He followed swayingly, and poked again, "Do you want to go out with me? Your master wants to see you very much."

The other party unceremoniously opened a slit, ahhh, the tentacles were swallowed whole.

Mu Qiu pulled it out reflexively, breaking into a cold sweat.

The soft tentacles swayed, and Mu Qiu realized that just now, he was... bitten?

It doesn't hurt, but the other party's rejection is very obvious.

Mu Qiu had no choice but to retreat first.

Aubrey opened his eyes wide, looked left and right, and even stood up and turned around.

Just when he was about to search every corner of the room, Mu Qiu finally couldn't help but said: "There's no need to look for it, I don't know why, it doesn't want to come out."

Aubrey stared at him blankly, unable to react for a moment.

But Chu Qingtian sat up straight and hurriedly asked, "You mean Aubrey does have a spiritual body?"

"Yes, it's still very powerful!" Mu Qiu smiled and nodded.

"What do you mean it won't come out?" Chu Qingtian asked.

"Well, maybe it's because I haven't grown up yet, maybe it's...lazy..." Mu Qiu half-jokingly said, "I'll try again after a while."

Only then did Chu Qingtian nodded reassuringly, as long as it would not affect Aubrey's health.

Aubrey understood the meaning of Mu Qiu's words, and cried out excitedly.

There were also gratified smiles on the faces of the others.

Mu Qiu couldn't help teasing him, "You just trust me like that? What if my judgment is wrong?"

"How is it possible? The person who can make such delicious biscuits is the best!" Aubrey said naturally.

Mu Qiu's head is full of black lines—could it be that your criterion for judging "powerful" is that you can make "delicious little biscuits"?

-

When the house was full of joy, Shunfeng Er stood outside the door and made a "report".

Chu Qingtian secretly moved the remote control and opened the door.

Shunfeng saluted politely, "Report to the captain, the matter of the female guide has been found out."

"Say."

"Yes! The guide's name is Na Lan. She is the illegitimate daughter of a collateral lineage owner of the Rhine family. She was valued because she awakened her talent as a guide. She just came of age a few months ago, and her compatibility with Bieber Rhine was tested. Around 80.00% five."

"How is the situation now? Has anything about the guild spread?"

"There were rumors, all of which were suppressed by General Rhine. It was reported on the 3rd that Guide Nalan was seriously injured. General Rhine decided to send her to the Tower of London headquarters for treatment, accompanied by Bieber." Shunfeng glanced at the terminal, " At this time, it is almost near Cassiopeia."

Chu Qingtian nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. On the 3rd side, give it a credit."

Shunfeng'er showed a look of joy, and gave a solid military salute, "Yes!"

After Shunfeng Er left, Lin Qing adjusted the jammer again.

Lu Xun said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, either Nalan didn't tell the reason for her injury, or General Rhine didn't want to say anything—either way, the situation is in our favor."

"I think the former is more likely." Mu Qiu rarely turned his head back, "Presumably Nalan can also faintly sense that she is different, and she can't explain it, so she just doesn't say it."

Elsa looked at him, giggling, "Qiuqiu knows this kind of psychology the most!"

Mu Qiu touched his ears and could only laugh dryly.

-

In order to relieve the tension, Chu Qingtian announced something.

"I asked Clairvoyance to take over an Andromeda mission, and I'm ready to set off in two days."

"Andromeda?" Mu Qiu was taken aback, "So far away?" It is about 10,000+ light-years away from the Draco constellation, and it takes at least a month to come and go.

"There is a water planet in Andromeda, and the red corals on the bottom of the sea are quite special. There happened to be a task in the guild to collect deep sea corals, so I asked Clairvoyance to take it—if you don't like it, you can change it." Chu Qingtian smiled.

"Water system planet?" Mu Qiu showed a look of surprise, "Is the whole planet water?"

Chu Qingtian curled his lips and nodded.

"If other people don't think it's too far away, I have no problem!" Mu Qiu said cheerfully.

"I have no objection!" Simon was the first to express his opinion.

"The mission was originally done for the purpose of traveling, wouldn't it be better to go far away?" Lin Qing also said with a smile.

Everyone turned their attention to Elsa.

Elsa was surprised and delighted, "Can I go too?"

Lin Qing stroked his golden hair, and said dotingly: "Didn't the captain promise you before!"

"Well, I thought it was just talking..." Elsa was pleasantly surprised and moved, "I, I have no objection, I can go anywhere!"

"Brother..." Little Gore tugged at Mu Qiu's clothes and looked at him eagerly.

Mu Qiu looked at Chu Qingtian in embarrassment.

"It's just a round trip to the deep sea. There is no danger if there are so many people watching. If Mike agrees, he will take Gore with him." Chu Qingtian said with a smile.

The little guy's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Daddy will definitely agree!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Mu Qiu was particularly excited, "The jellyfish spaceship is finally in use!"

Simon was also happy, "I saw your jellyfish spaceship when the awards were presented before, so I want to sit and watch it!"

"Huh? So, we've met each other a long time ago?" Mu Qiu suddenly remembered that Simon seemed to have mentioned it when he was on the Treeman Planet.

Simon nodded, "Yes, at that time I wanted to buy the patent of the jellyfish spacecraft. However, my brother said that you wanted to be selected into the military based on it, and you couldn't lose this opportunity, so I didn't buy it."

Mu Qiu looked extremely regretful, "You might as well buy it, I almost died in the desert because of it!"

Simon couldn't help laughing. He had heard Lu Xun tell about Mu Qiu's first arrival at Draco Constellation.

The guides chatted happily here, and the two captains were not idle.

Lu Xun hooked the corner of his mouth and teased, "You didn't work hard to find an underwater mission, did you?"

Chu Qingtian nestled in the large chair, and said slowly: "To each other."

-

The time of travel is always pleasant, even if you stay in the spaceship for more than half a month, you don't feel bored.

In addition to the delicious food made by Mu Qiu, there are also jokes made by a group of little guys from time to time, adding a lot of fun to the long journey.

On the last day of April, Tianlong finally reached the edge of Andromeda.

Mu Qiu lay on the operating table, looking at the bright sea of ​​stars outside, even though he watched it many times, he still couldn't help being amazed.

"Is that Andromeda?" he asked, pointing to a looming cantilevered cluster of stars.

Chu Qingtian sneaked a glance, "That's the Large Magellanic Cloud."

"Huh? The Large Magellanic Cloud is next to Andromeda?" Forgive him for being a geography idiot, but he really doesn't understand anything except machinery and food.

Seeing his surprise, Chu Qingtian thought he was thinking of the knowledge of the ancient earth, so he explained in a low voice: "The two star clusters were originally far away, but the Milky Way itself is slowly rotating, and the Large Magellanic Cloud was born with the Milky Way. Rotating around the Milky Way, the position of the star cluster has changed a lot in thousands of years."

Mu Qiu said "Oh", half understanding.

"Ahem!" Clairvoyance squeezed his throat and said meanly, "Mr. Captain is so gentle! Mr. Captain, baby Clairvoyance also wants to know, what is that thing that looks like a big spider?"

Chu Qingtian was so disgusted by him that he kicked him flying, "Keep an eye on the direction!"

Clairvoyant lies in Shunfeng's arms and pretends to cry, "Teacher Captain has double standards!"

Mu Qiu was really convinced by this guy, but looking at the direction he pointed just now, he couldn't help sighing, "It really looks like a big fluffy spider! It's still light red!"

"That's the 30 Doradus star cluster, also known as the Tarantula Nebula. The furry feet you see are actually strong stellar winds and ultraviolet radiation, which are very dangerous."

"That's right, it's dangerous!" Clairvoyance healed and the scar forgot the pain, so he took the initiative to come over, "One time I followed the boss to do a mission, and I was almost eaten by bugs! Qiuqiu must never go."

"Bug?" Mu Qiu couldn't tell the truth in his words, and looked at Chu Qingtian suspiciously.

Chu Qingtian glared at that guy, clairvoyantly shut up.

Mu Qiu looked at him unwillingly.

Chu Qingtian had no choice but to explain: "Some Zergs like to live near hot stars. It is said that the gas and dust inside such star clusters are beneficial to their evolution."

"What's the matter with you coming here to do the mission? What's the matter with being almost eaten by bugs?"

"It was calculated by Bieber that time." Chu Qingtian said lightly, not seeming to care very much, "It happened several years ago."

Mu Qiu frowned tightly, Bieber!It's Bieber again!

"If you don't have this guy, you don't know how good your life is!" He couldn't help but said angrily.

Chu Qingtian raised the corners of his mouth, seeing the way the guide felt wronged for him, he really liked it in his heart.

He hugged someone and kissed him like no one else was there, with a defiant smile on his lips, "Without him, I'm afraid I'd be bored—look, when did I let him get a good fruit?"

Mu Qiu pouted, still a little upset.

In order to divert the attention of his own guide, Chu Qingtian talked about the Zerg.

"That is to say, in fact, the Zerg will not easily harass humans. On the contrary, humans will take the initiative to make trouble for their carapace, sharp claws and other materials?" Mu Qiu's eyes widened. Since childhood, the information he came into contact with was all How cruel, violent, and inhumane the Zerg is, I never thought that there would be another version.

"It's not quite accurate to say that." Chu Qingtian concluded jokingly, "I guess the Zerg is also divided into two factions, the peaceful faction and the militant faction. Sometimes wandering in the interstellar, even if you encounter some powerful Zerg, as long as If you don’t take the initiative to provoke them, you will live in peace. However, there are also some bugs that will always go to places where humans live, eating people, destroying buildings, and even devouring the entire planet.”

"So... worms are cruel and thoughtless, right?" Mu Qiu desperately saved his cognition.

"I can only say, a part." Chu Qingtian sought truth from facts.

Mu Qiu is suddenly full of interest in this kind of creatures. Do they have their own temperament and preferences like human beings, and even have families and societies?

Chu Qingtian squeezed his face, "Don't think about it, no matter what, it's not the best, if you do, you'd better leave far away."

Mu Qiu said "Oh", but he was secretly thinking that next time Chu Qingtian went to clean the bugs, he must find a way to keep up.

-

The quiet and deep beauty of the sea is always fascinating.

Mu Qiu adjusted the shell of the jellyfish spaceship to a fully transparent mode, and a group of people standing in the sightseeing cabin seemed to be standing directly on the fiery coral reef.

Clusters of sponges of different shapes swayed gently with the water stirred by the spaceship; hard sea urchins and starfishes who were not to be outdone collided and competed for hardness; red shrimps holding large pincers walked past their eyes , and even gave this group of strangers a vicious look; a hairy-legged crab with a bowl-sized mouth poked out four legs from the hole, found something, and took it back in panic; Seeing that there are so many fish, they don't pay attention to this strange big jellyfish at all, and surround them with a whimper, blocking their sight.

The guides are all going to the sea for the first time. This feeling is completely different from the sightseeing tour in the aquarium-shock, awe, and inexplicable excitement.

Mu Qiu tightly grasped Chu Qingtian's hand, too excited to speak.

With a faint smile, Chu Qingtian kissed his forehead, "Do you like it?"

Mu Qiu nodded repeatedly.

Simon poked his arm, "Qiuqiu, I can't see it anymore."

Mu Qiu turned on a switch at hand, and saw the surrounding sea water swaying soundlessly, and the fish swarmed like surfing, scatter in circles, fleeing in a panic.

"Sonar?" Chu Qingtian asked.

Mu Qiu nodded, "This band is only used to expel small schools of fish and will not cause harm to them."

"If it is a higher frequency band, can it kill large fish?"

"Is it an indiscriminate attack, or a fixed-point tracking?"

Compared with the beauty of the seabed, the sentinels were obviously more interested in the jellyfish spacecraft, and asked questions in a hurry.

Surrounded by people, Mu Qiu didn't know which to answer first, so he simply grabbed the joystick and demonstrated.

Repelling, simulating, collecting, detecting—these are the four core functions of the jellyfish spacecraft.

The expulsion function is mainly realized by sonar devices. Different frequency bands can achieve different effects, and different ranges can also be covered through positioning adjustments.

As for the simulation, it has to be said that it is a major feature of the jellyfish spacecraft. It can simulate the frequency and pheromone of hundreds of known jellyfish, so that the jellyfish within a radius of one kilometer can receive signals and obey the command of the spacecraft.

As for the collection—the spaceship clicked twice, and two long mechanical arms stretched out.

The top of the robotic arm is shaped like a human palm, which is convenient and flexible.

Mu Qiu put his hands in the command box, and made movements such as reaching forward and grabbing.The manipulator simulated the exact same movement synchronously, but in the blink of an eye, a red shrimp the size of a palm was caught in its hand.

"Lunch is settled." Mu Qiu said with a smile.

"Is it the one just now?" Elsa was deeply impressed by the look just now.

"It's really not sure. No one can tell about fate." Mu Qiu joked humorously, and in the time of talking, he pulled the timid crab out of the hole just now.

"It really is destined." Simon sighed.

The guides were joking here and there, but the sentinel couldn't hold back.

"I'll try it too!" Aubrey was the first to get up, stretched out Mu Qiu's hand unceremoniously, put his own hand into the box, and couldn't wait to do punches, grabs, etc. .

Mu Qiu looked at him speechlessly, secretly counting down the seconds in his heart.

Three seconds later, a sharp chirp sounded in the cabin, followed by a naive child's voice, "The mechanical box found the intruder—the mechanical box found the intruder—" was the voice of the pumpkin.

The little ones had gathered in a corner to play lively, but suddenly they heard the sound of the pumpkin and couldn't help but froze.

Looking at the scene of the adults, Little Carrot was the first to react, and couldn't help laughing with his arms akimbo: "Aubrey -- you idiot!"

Aubrey punched the little guy, "You—"

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows.

Aubrey retracted his fist reflexively.

Mu Qiu glared at Xiao Luobo.

The little guy quickly hid behind the pumpkin, and stuck out his tongue to make faces for Aubrey when Mu Qiu was not paying attention.

"Hmph! You don't have the same knowledge as a child." There was Chu Qingtian in the front and Huimang in the back. This guy dared not speak out, so he had to say something angrily.

Mu Qiu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You have to identify it here first." He said, pointing to the operation panel.

Reluctantly, Aubrey pushed his hand up and scanned it up and down before placing it back in the mechanical case.

I have to say that, worthy of being an S-rank sentry, Mu Qiu's speed and accuracy can't match it.

In a short while, the collection cabin was full of fish, shrimps and crabs, big and small.Aubrey had a good time and quickly put the embarrassing incident behind him.

The other sentries were also scrambling to give it a try, like children snatching toys, and almost didn't fight.

Mu Qiu wiped off his sweat, and silently exited the storm circle.

"You designed this simulation device?" Chu Qingtian asked deliberately as he pulled him to his side.

"Well, the idea I put forward is mainly made of pumpkins."

"Have you applied for a patent?"

"It should be. At that time, Ah Luo helped to make it. I don't know much about it."

Chu Qingtian pinched his ears, a little helpless, "Turn back and show Lu Xun the patent."

"You can do it now!" Mu Qiu clicked on the terminal, and in the blink of an eye, there was a slight vibration from the terminal in Lu Xun's hand.

He lowered his head and glanced quickly, then nodded to Chu Qingtian with the corner of his mouth raised.

Chu Qingtian also showed an "ulterior motive" smile, "Think about it, and take care of this matter when you go back."

Lu Xun couldn't hold back the smile on his face, "This time, the R&D team must be let out for bloodletting!"

Mu Qiu looked at them strangely - what are these two planning?

At this moment, the ship's hull shook slightly, and several guides froze at the same time, showing surprised expressions.

"What's the matter?" Chu Qingtian consciously surrounded his guide and asked with concern.

"I seem to hear it, probably...someone is singing?" Mu Qiu looked at Simon uncertainly.

Simon frowned slightly, "I heard that too."

Elsa also nodded, and the expression on her face was not very good.

"Brother, it's crying, someone is crying!" Little Gore suddenly shouted.
