Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【The Appearance of Little Xuelian Fan】

Just like the talents of sentinels and guides among human beings are strong and weak, the physical strength of Tekki people is also divided into three levels.

The initial level is called "Iron Armored Man", which is equivalent to ordinary people among human beings; after the first strengthening, it is upgraded to "Silver Armored Man". The highest level is the golden armored person. After becoming a golden armored person, it is equivalent to owning your own territory and becoming the leader of a planet.

Tie-based people like Pumpkin, whose body and chips have just been fused, are veritable "newborns", who can have a golden armor level at birth, and there is only one pumpkin in the entire interstellar world.

In addition to Simon's credit, Pumpkin's IQ and experience in the past ten years must also account for a large reason.

Both humans and the Golden Armor couple tacitly kept this matter a secret. Until the group passed the transition point and returned to the Federation, Pumpkin's body was not seen by more people.

-

The follow-up matters were handled by Major, Ferdinand and Andromeda's garrison, but there was nothing to do with the Tianlong team.

Clairvoyance and Shunfenger led a group of brothers and carried a huge seven-star ladybug on their backs, and they returned to the constellation of Draco under the watchful eyes of the local garrison and onlookers—the scene was also spectacular.

Chu Qingtian applied for a vacation in the name of being injured, and he drove Mu Qiu and the others to his grandparents' house in Cassiopeia in a jellyfish spaceship.

The Tower of London has always been guide-oriented, and took the initiative to postpone Mu Qiu's training time for one month - in this way, they have at least one month to spend leisurely.

Mu Qiu sat paralyzed in the main cabin of the jellyfish planet, thinking about the recent events, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "So many things have happened recently, it feels like 1 years have passed, but in fact, it's only a month .”

"Isn't that right!" Elsa lay on the soft sofa, manicuring her nails and chatting, "I originally went to Andromeda to pick red corals for fun, but I didn't expect to meet a mermaid, and then Qiuqiu and Simon disappeared again—— It's frightening to death. Speaking of which, Qiuqiu, why did you suddenly think of going to see the Spider Star Cluster?"

Thinking of the root cause of her "disappearance", Mu Qiu felt guilty.

He secretly glanced at the sentry next to the console, and gave Simon a look for help.

Simon curled his mouth, opened the terminal in his hand, his movements and expressions were very natural, "I'll show you something good."

Mu Qiu hurried over, "What's the fun?"

"Signing ceremony." Simon enlarged the virtual screen and projected it onto the curved spaceship wall.

The federal news was playing on the screen.

Elsa glanced up, showing a disappointed look, "What's so interesting about this?"

But Mu Qiu sat up straight and called the others over, "Come and see, the Federation and Mechanic Star have concluded an alliance!"

Chu Qingtian set the spaceship to automatic navigation mode, walked over, and huddled on the sofa with Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu moved aside very naturally, took his hand and said excitedly: "Uncle Mai Zhe (after taking the fusion agent) and the golden armor leader!"

"Well, I see." Chu Qingtian kissed the guide's face, Mu Qiu kissed back quite perfunctorily, and focused on the screen again.

Lu Xun also slid over the terminal, and said as he walked, "To be exact, it's a covenant between the federal government and Iron Armor — the military hasn't made a clear statement yet, and the main mechanical star is also on the sidelines."

"Wait and see what?" Mu Qiu has always been insensitive to politics.

"Let's see if the Milky Way can be successfully upgraded to a second-level civilization."

"It's really realistic." Mu Qiu curled his lips, "It seems that he still has the loyalty of the golden armor."

Chu Qingtian smiled, and rubbed the guide's fleshy earlobe affectionately, "It's nothing, it's normal, and they must also take into account the attitude of other allies."

"Speaking of which, the differences between the military department and the government have become bigger and bigger in the past few years. Uncle Major must have worked hard." Simon showed a worried look.

"Don't worry." Lu Xun sat next to him and calmly comforted him, "At least three of the eight federal armies are on the side of Mr. President, plus the power of the Academy of Sciences and the media, it is impossible for Uncle Major to Suffer."

Simon sighed, "It would be nice to have the support of the Tower of London, but they have always remained neutral."

neutral?

Lu Xun and Chu Qingtian looked at each other, tacitly did not say what they really thought - during Mary Rhine's tenure, the Tower of London could not be truly neutral.

"Let's look at other news from this station—" From the virtual screen, the male anchor's low voice came out, "The Andromeda Garrison Fairy Squadron has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the rescue of mermaids and the discovery of the iron-based race, and is specially arrested by the army." Specially approved by the Ministry, promoted to a first-level team, becoming the fourth first-level team after the Suns, Centaurs, and Southern Crosses. The award ceremony is in progress. Below is the report from our reporter from the front—”

Aubrey was trying to curry favor with his proud little killer whale, but when he listened to it, he suddenly became angry, "I c! The mermaid was obviously rescued by us, and the Tiki was also discovered by the guides. Their credit?!"

Except for Chu Qingtian and Lu Xun, everyone looked aggrieved.

Mu Qiu looked at the two of them, wondering: "You guys already knew?"

"It was expected a long time ago." Chu Qingtian lay on the sofa, with a nonchalant expression, "The promotion of the team requires the highest officer of the army to submit an application, and no team can skip the report—whether it is about the mermaid or the iron man. The covenant of the Christians, the one from Beitianxing didn't get any benefits, if he doesn't teach me a lesson, he won't have the surname 'Rhein'."

"Mr. President also hinted to me that this time I'm afraid we will be wronged." Lu Xun also said.

After saying this, Chu Qingtian's terminal rang, and he looked down, and then showed a surprised expression.

Mu Qiu couldn't help being curious, he had never seen such an expression on Chu Qingtian's face.

"Captain Jiang?"

"Captain Chu, I'm sorry about this incident." The other party's voice was low and decisive, and he didn't find any reason for himself, "I just found out that this is the reason for the promotion - Lieutenant General Su Lun originally The application is for a second-tier team, and the reason for submission is also that 'Team Fairy played an effective synergy role in this incident'."

Chu Qingtian smiled and said very frankly: "Leapfrog promotion is a good thing. Captain Jiang doesn't have to worry about it. Even if it's not the fairy team that benefits this time, it will be someone else. In short, it is impossible for such a big credit to fall on a logistics team. .”

There was silence for three seconds, and finally said: "Captain Chu, this favor is owed by someone from me, Jiang. If it is useful to the Fairy Squadron in the future, you can just ask."

Chu Qingtian smiled, "You are being polite."

The moment the communication was hung up, the military minister on the awarding platform had just finished his sonorous speech, and was handing over a big golden badge to the representative of the Fairy Squad - it stands to reason that under such circumstances, the one who would go on stage to accept the honor would be a However, Pete Jiang, the leader of the fairy team, did not appear on the podium. Instead, he was replaced by an adjutant with a handsome appearance and a young manner.

The faces of the people in the first cabin were not very good.

Simon simply turned off the terminal.

-

As soon as everyone got ready, the jellyfish spacecraft received a strange communication number.

Before Mu Qiu could react, the chubby face of General Lai Yin appeared on the main screen.

The other party smiled first when he came up, as if he wasn't the one who used hacking technology to crack the spaceship's frequency band and access the communication without authorization.

"Xiao Chu, I just received the notification from the military department. Speaking of which, you have made such great achievements, why didn't you know to report it in advance? I can also apply for an upgrade for you. Don't forget, the Tianlong team belongs to the Arctic Legion after all. One member, if you have done meritorious service, my face will also be bright, right?"

Chu Qingtian sneered in his heart, but kept a serious expression on his face, and said dryly: "This time I didn't think carefully."

Hot Rhine is an old fritter after all, he didn't care about Chu Qingtian's attitude, and still said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I still can't help but say a few more words, although you did these things during your vacation, report It’s the same for everyone, there’s no such thing as skipping the rank, but next time you’d better think about it, otherwise the credit will be snatched away for nothing—the president won’t ask the military for credit.”

"Isn't that right, the subordinates have been taught, who is reliable and who is unreliable, you really should keep your eyes open, if you always make wedding dresses for others again and again, then the credit is worse than throwing away." Chu Qingtian said with a face With a smile, said lightly.

Hot Rhine's expression was visibly stiff for a moment, then he recovered his smile, and continued: "Speaking of which, the disposition of the military department this time is not completely unreasonable, you have privately mobilized the Tianlong team without applying to your superiors. Troop strength, this has obviously violated military discipline, and it stands to reason that you, Colonel Chu, are going to court-martial—even if I try my best to intercede for you in the military department, the final result can only be that the merits and demerits are balanced."

Aubrey squatted aside, humming in his nose, did you try your best?Are you trying your best to fight the fire?

He dared to bet that the Tianlong team's contribution this time was in vain, and this old fritters contributed at least seven points - as for the purpose, it was just to beat them!

What Aubrey can see, there's no reason others can't.

Chu Qingtian was too lazy to deal with him any longer, so he turned his head and gave Lu Xun a wink.

Lu Xun picked up a smiling expression, and said respectfully: "Speaking of the interests of the legion, I do have two documents that need to be reported to the general - one of which is a patented solution for the military simulation training system, which belongs to the The captain's guide, Team Tianlong has already applied for it; the other is a cooperation case with Tieji people on new materials, and a cooperation case with Team Tianlong alone-of course, Team Tianlong is a member of the Arctic Legion, General, what do you say? Is it right?"

Hot Rhine's expression froze completely, and the young man who looked into his eyes suddenly had the illusion of facing the gang of old foxes from the Military Supply Department.

However, can he refuse?

No!

-

Chu Qingtian was very satisfied with the final result, and so was Lu Xun.

Although the others don't understand, they are...in a good mood.

Mu Qiu suddenly thought of a question, "Speaking of which, I still don't know what level the Tianlong team is!"

The federal team is divided into levels one to five from top to bottom. Mu Qiu thought, Chu Qingtian and Lu Xun are so powerful, no matter how bad they are, they must be a second-level team-the second-level team is already very proud.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, even Aubrey, who was the most speechless, was like a gourd with its mouth sawn, and said nothing.

Mu Qiu and Simon looked at each other, "Could it be level three?"

"Level three is not bad!" Simon said quickly.

In the end, no one spoke.

Chu Qingtian looked up at the top of the spaceship, the corners of his mouth were slightly stiff; Lu Xun lowered his head and slid the terminal, looking very busy; Lin Qing and Elsa got together, as if they were studying the buttons of the armor dyer; Aubrey also huddled himself into a ball, as if afraid of being called.

Mu Qiu pursed her lips, and said with some surprise: "Could it be... a fourth level?"

Still silent.

Simon simply clicked on the terminal and used the wizard authority to enter the backstage of the Tianlong team. After only one glance, he couldn't help laughing.

"It's really level four?" Mu Qiu couldn't hide his surprise.

Simon shook the terminal towards his eyes.

Mu Qiu's eyes widened suddenly, he couldn't believe it, "No, it's not scientific!"

Chu Qingtian is obviously very powerful, and so is Lu Xun!Besides, there is Aubrey, how can a team that can absorb S-level Sentinels only have level five—the lowest level five!

Even a communication unit composed of ordinary people can be rated as a fourth level if they try hard?

"Tianlong team is a logistics force." Lu Xun explained objectively, "Before we arrived, it was always stationed by ordinary troops."

"Then you have been here for at least ten years, right? Just... never upgraded?" Mu Qiu was still a bit awkward.

Lin Qing interjected: "The boss's mind has never been on this, and coupled with the suppression of that idiot Bieber, it... has always been the logistics team."

Mu Qiu patted Chu Qingtian's shoulder sympathetically, and encouraged him solemnly: "It's okay, let's work hard together."

Simon also nodded seriously.

——Captain Chu, deeply sympathized by the guide, has never been so eager to upgrade!

-

After Pumpkin has a new body, he looks even more handsome.

If it is said that he looked honest and reliable in the past, now besides being reliable, he also added a bit of prestige.

He used to be about the same height as Xiao Luobo's mecha model, but now he is a head taller, almost reaching Mu Qiu's waist.The whole body is shining with golden light, and the facial features are more clear. He is really handsome and cute.

However, even with a different appearance, the pumpkin is still the careful and sensible pumpkin.

He will still help Mu Qiu serve meals, he will still cover his younger brothers with quilts, he will still prevent Xiaoxuelian from drinking too much nutrient solution, and he will still take the little mermaid with him anytime, anywhere.

Speaking of which, the little mermaid has grown from the size of one palm to the size of two palms. The facial features and arms are still small and delicate, and the waistline and fish tail are mainly elongated.

Moreover, he was able to leave the water for a short time—the little mermaid had no other requirements after leaving the water, except to sit at the dining table and "eat fish" and be "hugged by melons".

That's right, the little mermaid, who is only two months old, can already open his mouth to speak. The first sentence he utters is "Gua Gua Hug", and the second sentence is "Eat fish fish" - that's on the spaceship, Mu Qiu When I made a big plate of steamed fish for everyone and he didn't eat it, I was in a hurry.

I don't know if it's because of the genetic mutation, but the little mermaid can speak at the frequency of a mermaid, and can also make voices that humans can receive.It can be regarded as gratifying.

The other four mermaid eggs still didn't respond. Green Tail had repeatedly confirmed before leaving on the Tianlong that they were still alive, and they might be able to hatch after a while.

After hearing this, Pumpkin took them more actively to bask in the sun, blow the wind, and insist on blowing breath before going to bed.

It is worth mentioning that, until the golden tail and green tail left, the sleeping blue tail still did not wake up. After repeated discussions, the mermaids finally decided to keep the blue tail by Mu Qiu's side. The trust of this "Son of God" has reached an indescribable level.

-

In addition, there is little snow lotus.

Ever since seeing Pumpkin's new body, the little guy has also secretly taken his heart. Every day, when Mu Qiu is cooking in the kitchen (this is almost Chu Qingtian's only chance not to be with him), he hugs Chu Qing Tian's neck acted like a baby and asked for nutrient solution.

He wholeheartedly believed that as long as he drank more of that "green water", he would suddenly grow taller like a pumpkin and become more majestic—for some reason, the idea of ​​"becoming majestic" was deeply ingrained in his mind even though he was a flower.

It was the first time for Chu Qingtian to be someone else's father, and he had no other strategy other than pampering him infinitely.

When Pumpkin sees it, he always threatens him kindly, "I want to tell Qiuqiu!" Mu Qiu told Xiaoxuelian not to drink too much nutrient solution, otherwise it might "burn" him.

Chu Qingtian always sent a warm hug to ask for grace this time.

Xiaoxuelian will also wittily send a cute kiss.

"Then...don't allow it next time!" Pumpkin always said with a blushing face.

Chu Qingtian nodded decisively.

As a result, after the next time, there will be the next time, and after the next time, there will be the next time...

Until one day, after Xiao Xuelian secretly poured into a large bottle of nutrient solution, she suddenly recovered her body and turned green—just like the color of nutrient solution.

Pumpkin cried in fright, and ran to find Mu Qiu while crying.

Chu Qingtian also frowned tightly, blaming himself extremely.

In the end, it was Mu Qiu who resolved the crisis—Xiaoxuelian was indeed overfed.

Knowing the whole story, Mu Qiu originally planned to mercilessly criticize Chu Qingtian's irresponsible father.

As a result, just after saying a few words, Pumpkin kept hugging his waist, crying and said: "Qiuqiu, it's all, it's all Pumpkin's fault. The matter... woo woo..."

Why did Mu Qiu still have the heart to continue talking?He could only give Chu Qingtian a hard look, planning to settle accounts after the fall.

Afterwards, Little Carrot secretly asked Pumpkin, why did he take the blame for Chu Qingtian, since Pumpkin had already warned him—obviously, the little guy was complaining about his little friend; wolf fur.

The mental body that had been on behalf of the master endured it silently. Of course, he had to write a smile to Chu Qingtian in the small book.

Pumpkin rubbed her hands, and said solemnly: "Have you forgotten the story Qiuqiu told us? If the parents quarrel, the children in the family will not be happy. Moreover, if they get divorced, the children will be happier." Pitiful."

Little Luobo suddenly came to his senses, "That's right, Qiuqiu said that many children were thrown away where he used to live—is it because parents quarreled or divorced?"

Pumpkin nodded approvingly.

"Oh, we can't let them quarrel!" Little Carrot clenched his fists, "Pumpkin is still the smartest!"

Pumpkin smiled innocently, her wide and big eyelids covered the flash of light in her golden pupils.

-

Back to Xiaoxuelian.

Even though Mu Qiu and Elsa took turns grooming him, it took a full day and night for the little guy to recover his human form.

However, Xiaoxuelian in human form at this time is very different from before.

In the past, the little guy looked inhuman at first glance, with petal-shaped hair, green stem-shaped arms, and feet with translucent white roots. Even the most human-like facial contours were a little fuzzy.

At this time, the little guy has white skin, light gray hair, amber eyes, a small pink mouth, a small upturned nose, and tender little hands and feet—he already looks like a human baby Yes, it looks about three or four years old.

"Dad!" The little guy's voice was tender, "Mom!"

Chu Qingtian held him in his arms, almost at a loss.Mu Qiu was also a little dazed - it was as if the two of them had really crystallized.

Elsa looked at him and then at Mu Qiu, and giggled, "The little guy didn't call his parents for nothing, you see for yourself, this small forehead and nose will definitely look like the captain when he grows up, Look at those eyes again, they are almost a miniature version of Qiuqiu!"

Lin Qing looked at this and then that, and couldn't help being surprised: "Really!"

Mu Qiu was itchy by what they said, so he adjusted the wall of the spaceship into a mirror, and hugged the little guy to take a picture.

When the three faces are compared together, the difference is quite obvious.

Mu Qiu shook his head, maybe he expected too much, how could such a coincidence happen!

Feeling his partner's faint disappointment, Chu Qingtian said half-jokingly: "If Qiuqiu wants a child, we can apply after getting off the spaceship."

Mu Qiu looked at him, and said with a smile: "You want a child? Do you want another child? Xuewa is not enough to support you, is it?"

Seeing the guide's downcast face, Chu Qingtian decisively shut up, typed a few words of haha, then cleverly walked away holding Xiaoxuelian.

While walking, Captain Chu leaned into the little guy's ear and whispered, "Mom is still angry, we two need to be careful these few days!"

The little guy was amused by him to "giggle", and after laughing, he also grabbed his ears and said seriously: "Be careful, be careful——Mom, beat me up!" It patted on his father's stubbled chin.

"Uh...it hurts~" the little guy acted like a baby with tears in his eyes.

"Father is wrong, let me brag about it!" Chu Qingtian hurriedly flattered him.

"Don't brag, I want... Shui Shui!" The little guy took the opportunity to talk about the conditions.

Chu Qingtian flicked his little head, "How dare you ask for water? Forgot what you just said?"

"Hmm..." Two little white hands covered her head and said fearfully, "Mom... beat me up, be careful!"

Looking at the backs of the two, one big and one small, Mu Qiu couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.

Want another baby?It's not impossible...

Although there are quite a few children in the family, the more species like little angels, the better.

-

To be on the safe side, Mu Qiu contacted Snow Lotus King through the radar station of Tianlong 2.

King Xuelian's expression didn't change much after hearing this, but he said: "This kind of thing has never happened before, even I can't completely transform into a human form - what you usually see is just me using my ability It’s just an illusion that has been transformed—Xiaoxuelian obviously doesn’t have such ability.”

After hearing this, Mu Qiu couldn't help becoming worried, "You mean, the fact that Xuewa became a human was not because he drank too much nutrient solution and evolved earlier?"

The Snow Lotus King shook his head, "The body of the Snow Lotus family is a plant, and the direction of evolution is also from a humanoid to a plant body, and there will be no situation where it will completely become a human."

"In this way, Xuewa's evolution direction is opposite to that of other clansmen?" Mu Qiu was taken aback, he never thought it would be like this.

"To be precise, he is not called 'evolution'." Thinking of this little guy who was different from birth, Snow Lotus King also had a headache, "I have to see the specific situation to be sure. You...don't worry." He comforted him unskillfully.

It's impossible for Mu Qiu not to be in a hurry. He looked at Chu Qingtian, and said with some embarrassment: "Can you go back to the Tianlong constellation first, and go to grandpa and grandma later? I'm really worried..."

Chu Qingtian took the guide's shoulders and said calmly: "No, I'll ask someone to bring the leader Xuelian over."

Mu Qiu's eyes lit up, can it still be like this?

Chu Qingtian smiled, turned his head back to his expressionless face, and asked Snow Lotus King, "What do you think?"

The other party obviously didn't care much, as if he didn't take Chu Qingtian's attitude seriously, he just nodded flatly, "That's fine."

Chu Qingtian: ...lost again.
