Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【The home of the mermaids】

Dean Cole came very quickly. He didn't mobilize many teachers, but only brought four trusted assistants, all of whom were his students.

Chu Qingtian and Lu Xun greeted him out together, behaved politely and appropriately.

Dean Cole took a few glances at him and nodded in satisfaction, "You're not bad, much better than those stubborn old men in the military department!"

Chu Qingtian smiled reservedly.

While leading a few people in, Lu Xun said, "I didn't expect you to come so fast. I'll tell the mermaids to come and gather."

Dean Cole gave him a disapproving look, "How can you bother the precious mermaid? Let's go there."

Lu Xun rubbed his nose. They didn't know how much they wanted to run around—but they didn't say it, so as not to overturn the good image in the old dean's mind.

Chu Qingtian took Dean Cole and his assistants to the ecological cabin.

Seeing the simulated ocean environment and a dozen young fish swimming in the seaweed, several thin scientists seemed to burst out with the greatest strength in their lives, and suddenly overtook the footsteps of several sentinels.

Despite the excitement, they acted very professionally.

All the instruments in Space Newry were taken out, skillfully assembled and adjusted, and the work was done in an orderly manner. Only those trembling hands could slightly betray their true emotions at this time.

The mermaids stood obediently in a row, looking curiously at the old dean with gray hair and glowing eyes at the front.

"This human is the same as Xiaobai, with white hair!"

"Yeah, there's hair on my chin too!"

"But, they are not as good-looking as Qiuqiu, nor is Qiuqiu's husband!"

"It's not as good-looking as Simon!"

"It's not as good-looking as the vice-captain!"

"Yes yes yes!"

——Although they appear to be well-behaved on the surface, the mouths of the mermaids move around, thinking they are communicating secretly.

"Hehe, the old man is old, of course he can't compare to the young people of the Tianlong team." Dean Cole said with a smile while looking at the mermaids.

The mermaids were shocked at once—he can speak mermaid language!

The old dean gestured to the assistant behind him, and one of the assistants adjusted the inverter in his hand and distributed it to those present.

Chu Qingtian took the button-sized frequency converter, twisted it deftly, and divided it into two pieces, one sticking to the throat, and the other sticking to the corresponding Wernicke's area (auditory center) of the brain.

Mu Qiu imitated him and unscrewed it, but was clumsy when sticking it.

Chu Qingtian took it with a smile, gently parted his hair, and stuck it on his scalp. After he finished, he brushed over his protruding Adam's apple, causing faint red marks—it was obviously a very serious mutual help, But he made it very ambiguous.

Mu Qiu moved to the side unobtrusively, scratching his hair to hide his red ears.

Chu Qingtian pulled him back with a nonchalant expression on his face.

The small actions between them did not attract many people's attention. Under the guidance of the assistants, everyone pasted the frequency converter, and then opened their mouths, it was the wave frequency used by mermaids.

Dean Cole said excitedly: "I have studied mermaids with my teacher for 20 years, and I have done it myself for 30 years after the teacher passed away. I can capture the sound waves of this special frequency in different sea areas every year. It does not belong to any A known marine creature—unexpectedly, it was really the voice of a mermaid!"

For most of my life, I have been pursuing a goal that I don't know whether it is true or not. This is really incomprehensible to the soldiers present, but it is worthy of admiration.

The second assistant whispered a reminder in Dean Cole's ear.

Dean Cole suddenly came to his senses, and quickly asked, "Where's the little mermaid? The one that just hatched! There are still mermaid eggs!"

Pumpkin held the small fish tank firmly and showed it to the old director.

Dean Cole was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out, and he kept saying: "Be careful, be careful!" While speaking, he motioned for the assistant behind him to take it.

Pumpkin remembered Mu Qiu's previous advice, hesitated for a moment, and let go.

But the little mermaid was not happy, she grabbed the edge of the fish tank and pushed towards the pumpkin.

The assistant thought it was funny and smiled slightly.

The little mermaid turned her head, and with a "poof", spit out a mouthful of green nutrient solution on his face.

Mu Qiu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Fortunately, Dean Cole laughed louder than him, clapped his hands while laughing and said: "What a lively little guy! Yes, your emergency measures are very good, and the little mermaid is also healthy. I will definitely write it down in the report.”

"Thank you Dean Kele." Lu Xun said at the right time.

The old dean took a look at him, and shut his mouth vigilantly—indeed, he had been tricked by this shrewd junior too many times, so he had to guard against it.

Here, the little mermaid was dissatisfied with the strange smell, so she thumped vigorously in the nutrient solution, and even began to cry.

The assistant was extremely embarrassed, and looked at the old dean in embarrassment.

Pumpkin was also very distressed, and reached out several times to take the fish tank back, but seeing Mu Qiu's face was full of reluctance to let go.

Mu Qiu suddenly felt that he was a bit cruel, and he was thinking about not letting Pumpkin act too special, but he forgot to take into account the little guy's true feelings.

Without saying a word, Chu Qingtian took the fish tank - almost snatching it - and stuffed it back into the pumpkin's arms.

Pumpkin looked at him happily, and a big (*^__^*) was displayed on the screen.

Chu Qingtian raised the corner of his mouth and patted Fang Fang's head.

The little mermaid finally calmed down, holding the side of the fish tank with her slender arms in vain, tipped up the soft fish tail, and kissed the pumpkin's face with a mouthful.

A whole row appeared on Fangfang's screen~(@^_^@)~~(@^_^@)~~(@^_^@)~~(@^_^@)~~(@^_ ^@)~.

Dean Cole looked away from the little mermaid and turned to look at the pumpkin, thoughtfully.

Mu Qiu's heart skipped a beat.

Chu Qingtian shifted his body to block the sight of the old dean, and said politely: "You have come all the way from the imperial capital, you must have not eaten yet. The restaurant has prepared a few seafood, which is also considered a special feature, you must give it a favor."

Dean Cole smiled and nodded knowingly, "Then I'll take care of you."

-

Dean Cole held a meeting with his assistants, and finally decided that the young fishes would stay on Tianlong temporarily, and the little white fishes would be taken away.

As for the remaining mermaid eggs, ordinary people can't even touch them, so they have to be kept by Mu Qiu. Dean Kerr said that he would send a researcher over to record the data at any time.

Mu Qiu was not surprised by such a decision. With their abilities, there was no guarantee that they could raise the little mermaid well. Even Green Tail and the others had no experience in raising mermaid cubs, let alone out of the original environment—— Anyway, he is an expert, so it is impossible for the little mermaid to be wronged.

Although the logic can be figured out, Mu Qiu still feels uncomfortable, and he doesn't even know how to talk to the little ones.

Chu Qingtian surrounded the guide with spiritual threads, and after he fell asleep, he went to the little guys' room lightly.

I don't know what he said, but anyway, the little guys finally accepted the decision.

Only the person involved, the little mermaid, swims around in the fish tank ignorantly, spitting bubbles carefree.

However, on the day it happened, something went wrong.

Waking up early in the morning, Pumpkin neither eats nor washes—yes, he can eat and also loves to take a bath, don’t ask why, it’s just so amazing—holding the fish tank and chatting all the time.

The little mermaid seemed to sense that something was going to happen, so she was obedient all the time. She didn't make a playful face when she bathed him with pumpkin, and she didn't even spit it out when she fed him the fishy mud.

This obedient state lasted until I got on the aircraft.

The little mermaid held the fish tank and watched herself getting farther and farther away from the pumpkin with her big black eyes, and finally burst into loud cries.

"Wow - wow -" it was heartbreaking.

The pumpkin opened its arms and ran over, crying tears as it ran.

"No! No!" The little mermaid leaned out of the fish tank, holding the pumpkin's hand tightly.

Mu Qiu looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help but blushed.

The assistant who was holding the fish tank felt extremely uncomfortable, feeling like a big villain.

He gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Teacher, otherwise I might as well stay in the Tianlong team. Anyway, I don't have any worries, it's the same wherever I am."

Dean Kele sighed, and silently looked at several outstanding young men of the Tianlong team, his deep gaze stayed on Mu Qiu's face for a long time.

Mu Qiu grabbed Chu Qingtian's hand, feeling a little embarrassed and a little guilty.

-

Dean Cole didn't make it in the end.

He borrowed Tianlong's radar equipment to get in touch with academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and held a lengthy high-level meeting.

According to the gossip from Clairvoyance, who watched the whole process, the meeting was very exciting. A dozen old men in their [-]s, [-]s, or even [-] years old quarreled like children, and an old academician with a red beard was excited. My own terminal is smashed.

In order to wait for him to repair the terminal, the meeting was interrupted for half an hour, and Dean Cole had time to catch his breath.

"Speaking of which, Dean Cole is the most powerful. He looks smiling, but he refuses to suffer at all." Finally, Clairvoyance concluded sincerely.

Or he is the dean!How can Dean Cole be an ordinary person who can centrally manage geeks like the Academy of Sciences in an orderly manner, and the federal government and the military have to back down by three points?

After several rounds of intense discussions, the final result finally came out—a mermaid research base was set up on Beitianxing, the main star of the northern circumpolar constellation, and the young mermaids were transferred there, which was regarded as a branch of the Academy of Sciences; Next to Pumpkin, four researchers were specially sent to follow up and collect data at any time.

For some unknown reason, Dean Cole took the initiative to hide the abnormality of the pumpkin, and put all the matter on Mu Qiu, saying that the little mermaid relies on the breath of the guide.

After Mu Qiu found out, she went out to Dean Kerr to thank him.

The old dean just nodded with a smile, his eyes filled with wisdom.

The mermaids didn't have any objection to this arrangement, and they knew in their hearts that they couldn't rely on the Tianlong team forever.

After learning that Tianlong constellation is very close to Beitianxing, and they can drop by at any time, the last bit of reluctance of the young mermaids disappeared.

-

The Academy of Sciences is very efficient. In the shortest possible time, it has produced mermaid walking machines, mermaid cars, mermaid water beds and other equipment that are convenient for mermaids to adapt to amphibious life. The mermaid base in Beitianxing is also under construction.

— In fact, generations of mermaid researchers have been preparing for this for many years.

Next, the young mermaids face an important test.

Neither the Academy of Sciences nor the federal government nor the military intends to conceal the existence of mermaids.

However, if the current situation of Ocean Star or Mermaid is to be made public, several reports from the Academy of Sciences alone are not convincing enough, and Mermaid must stand up and speak out.

While the other mermaids were still tense, cramped, and hesitant, Jinwei took the initiative to take this step.

"Let me do it!" he said firmly.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. Everyone thought that the eloquent Green Tail would take on such a role in the end, and no matter how bad it was, there would be a big silver. They never expected that it would be the quiet and occasionally irascible Golden Tail.

As it turns out, he's doing just fine.

The major official radio stations, network platforms, and military channels of the entire interstellar broadcast live simultaneously.

When the camera focused on this not-so-strong golden mermaid, the mermaid's thin face showed obvious tension and uneasiness.

At the beginning, he stuttered and talked according to the script discussed by the three parties of the Military and Political Section, but the people at the other end of the screen just stared blankly at his long golden hair and shiny fish tail, trying desperately to judge whether it was made by the authorities. A farce.

Later, Jinwei's speech became more and more difficult, so he simply shut up and stared at the camera coldly.

The photographers behind the large and small cameras were all stared at by him, and when the chief director was about to gesture for a pause, the golden tail suddenly happened again.

This time, he completely abandoned the manuscript and hummed a song softly.

It is the "Song of the Sea" that every mermaid can sing.

Although they couldn't understand the lyrics, everyone was attracted by his ethereal voice and beautiful melody. They gave up all doubts and distracting thoughts in their hearts, and only listened to the mermaid's natural voice.

The singing stopped, and Jinwei talked about the underwater world he was most familiar with, their former coral nest, beautiful pearls, magical seashells, the family of seahorses next door, and the great Master Colortail, and the chattering Greentail...

Also, the terrible things they experienced, the sacrifice of the adult fish, the fearful struggle of the young fish to survive every day, the battle with the evil shark, the appearance of the Tianlong team, and the novelty and lively life on land...

No one taught him to say this, and he didn't know why he said it, he just thought of where to say it.

On the contrary, it was such simple and plain words that attracted everyone's attention and made them truly understand what happened.

New audiences are constantly joining in, and people are constantly sending flowers and gifts-it seems that only in this way can we slightly appease the sadness and excitement in our hearts.

Accounts on major platforms are rising at a rocket-like speed.In the end, the relevant person in charge of the Academy of Sciences stood up and said that all the credits received will be used for the protection of the ocean and the construction of the mermaid base.

This most grand live broadcast in the whole interstellar world was a big success, and its public participation even surpassed the ten-year presidential election.

The image of this golden mermaid has been deeply engraved in everyone's mind ever since.

The Academy of Sciences finally decided to use the three-dimensional image of the golden tail as the prototype to design the logo of the Mermaid Base.

Everything went unexpectedly smoothly.

-

Mermaid's live broadcast video was saved by some caring people in the form of screen recording, and published publicly on their private accounts.

People listened to the "Song of the Sea" that hit the soul over and over again, and listened to Jinwei's calm and vivid narration, and more and more people noticed a word-Dragon Team.

The federal team's exposure rate among the public has not been high, especially this special mission team mainly composed of sentries.

The troublemakers spared no effort to find out the past records of the Tianlong team, whether it was the founder or the current main players, they were all ruthlessly picked up - in the end, even some mainstream media got involved.

As a result, the Tianlong team also followed the fire.

Chu Qingtian nestled in the Tianlong, receiving one video after another.

Near lunch time, I was finally able to catch my breath.

Mu Qiu funnyly handed him a glass of thorn juice.

Chu Qingtian drank it with his hand, and said weakly: "One more drink."

Mu Qiu simply mixed him a glass of energy water.

As soon as the cup was handed to him, the terminal buzzed.

Chu Qingtian reflexively ordered it, only to realize that it wasn't his own.

Mu Qiu shook his wrist and looked at Chu Qingtian suspiciously.

"Why don't you answer?"

"It seems to be... grandpa." Mu Qiu often saw Chu Qingtian talking with the old man before, and he had already memorized this communication number by heart.

Chu Qingtian smiled, his eyes soft, "I told Grandpa your communication number."

Mu Qiu was not surprised. He clicked on the video and pointed the screen at Chu Qingtian.

"Huh? Why is it you?" Grandpa looked disgusted, "Where's Qiuqiu?"

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows and gave Mu Qiu a wink.

"Boy, what are you doing winking?" Grandpa continued to look at him with disgust.

Only then did Mu Qiu turn the screen over, and called affectionately, "Grandpa."

"Hey! Good boy." Grandpa replied cheerfully, "Qiuqiu, I just want to tell you that it's summer here at home. Didn't you say you wanted to come to see flowers in summer? Your grandma is here There are several plants planted in front of the door and behind the door, keep it for you to see enough!"

Mu Qiu smiled involuntarily, and felt warm in his heart, "Grandma has worked hard, you should be able to apply for a period of vacation after this task is over, and we will go back then."

Grandpa was very happy to hear that, and his tone became more cheerful, "If there are fakes, call Xiao Lu and the others back, the mushrooms in the bacteria room are growing well, and then let the old woman make mushroom soup for you."

"Thank you grandpa, mushroom soup is my favorite!" Mu Qiu smiled cutely and brightly.

Grandpa likes it more and more, "Family, say 'thank you'!"

The call ended in such a warm atmosphere.

Mu Qiu turned off the terminal, the smile on his face could not be suppressed for a long time.

"Do you like mushroom soup the most?" Chu Qingtian looked at him amusedly, "It's not a good habit to lie to the old man."

Mu Qiu cast a glance at him, "Grandpa can do as long as he's happy, isn't it just a few mouthfuls of mushroom soup!"

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, "Then let you eat carrots next time, don't wrinkle your nose."

When Mu Qiu heard the word "carrot", he wrinkled his nose reflexively—it's the interstellar era, why hasn't the carrot become extinct? !

-

Simon ran over holding the terminal and said clearly, "Mu Qiu, Uncle Mai Zhe wants to talk to you."

Only when the two uncles are involved, will this always elegant friend show a childish side.

Mu Qiu blinked at him knowingly, then turned his gaze to the virtual screen, and then froze for a moment—this face full of majesty on the virtual screen is not something that can be seen on Interstellar News every day. Did you see Mr. President?

Major...uncle?That gentle and refined man?

Mu Qiu was a little confused.

"Hehe," the man's gentle laughter came from the terminal, very familiar, "Sorry, the fusion potion has not expired yet, I scared you—didn't Simon tell you?"

Mu Qiu quickly adjusted his expression and greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle Mai Zhe, I was a little surprised at first glance, but I heard you as soon as you spoke." After speaking, he turned his face and gave Simon a hard look.

Simon stuck out his tongue and grimaced quietly.

Seeing the two juniors fighting, Mai Zhe smiled even more comfortably.

It wasn't important for Mai Zhe to talk to Mu Qiu, and Mu Qiu's attitude was somewhat reserved, so the conversation ended quickly.

After Simon turned off the terminal, he ran away without any excuse.

Mu Qiu quickly grabbed his back by the collar, and said viciously, "I'll give you a minute to explain!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Simon had to straighten his cuffs, and said honestly: "That's it, Uncle Major is the president of the Federation, what you saw before was his real appearance, and he looked like he had taken the fusion potion when he was working. "

The fusion potion Mu Qiu heard from A Luo mentioned that it can change a person's appearance, but things like genes and irises cannot be changed. It is said that it is a federal secret, and ordinary people can't buy it.

"Qiuqiu... don't be angry, okay?" Simon squeezed his throat and said softly, "I didn't say it because I was afraid that you wouldn't want to be friends with me after you found out. There have been people like this before!"

Mu Qiu stared helplessly at the friend whose painting style had changed suddenly, one of them didn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

He tapped his friend's forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "Who did you learn to act like a baby? Do you think that I will forgive you?"

"I learned from you." Simon resumed his serious look, "Didn't you say that if you make the captain unhappy, you can talk like this, and then the captain-uh..."

Halfway through Simon's speech, Mu Qiu covered his mouth.

"Hehe~ Don't believe it, he's talking nonsense..." Mu Qiu pretended to look at his sentinel calmly, and smiled embarrassingly.

Captain Chu sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and looked at the guilty guide, with a smile slowly rising from the corner of his mouth, "Really?"

Mu Qiu wanted to die.
