Rebirth Interstellar Life Rules

Chapter 109 The Gray Area

In the deep and quiet universe, an artificial space station is silently suspended beside a small circular asteroid.A passage connects the space station with the space base on the asteroid that is protected by a semi-circular transparent cover.

The place where spaceships are supposed to come and go from time to time is quiet at this time, and there is no movement at all. No matter how remote the space station here is, it stands to reason that this situation should not happen.But now, there is almost no one around here... Ah no, there are still quite a few spaceships around here, but those spaceships have obviously lost power, scattered aimlessly and unconsciously with the gravity of the nearby asteroids floating.

At this time, what surprised Lan Ze most was not the strangeness of the space station and those spaceships, but—"Those...what are they?!"

Cang Qing also saw something that surprised Lan Ze, he frowned slightly: "Fog?"

A gray, fog-like thing enveloped the space station and the base below, as if it were a natural phenomenon formed naturally on some planets.But Lan Ze knew that this was abnormal, this was the universe!These gray "fogs" are more like the residue left after something has completely crumbled.

Suddenly, he realized in his heart: "If there is this kind of 'fog' near all the lost planets, it's no wonder they marked them as gray on the star field map..."

Cang Qing also nodded silently, compared to other explanations, he also felt that Lan Ze's guess might be right in his heart.

The two cautiously let the minibus scan and monitor the space station and the vicinity of the base first.Patiently, they waited for a whole day at the side, and after confirming that there was no problem, they began to approach there after resting again the next day.

The gray "fog" is like a real fog, floating around here. Lan Ze asked the minibus to use the external robotic arm of the spaceship to collect some samples of this kind of thing, and did not directly bring them into their room. After a simple test in the temporary spare room, it was determined that there were no threats such as radioactive substances before being sent to the laboratory for subsequent experiments.

When they got close to the space station, they unexpectedly found that there were obvious signs of being attacked and destroyed on the space station!

Lan Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise, the spaceship they encountered last time was intact, but here it was destroyed... Either there is something here that attracted those "things", or something else happened here!

Lan Ze cautiously did not go directly into those places that were obviously damaged. First, he asked the minibus to bring the spacecraft close to the space base on the asteroid next to it, and went around there to confirm that the glass cover was intact. And turned back to the space station.

Since the space base is intact (at least it seems to be), but the space station has been destroyed, Lan Ze is more convinced of his first guess at this time-those guys are probably targeting here!

After approaching the spaceship, it docked at a dock not far from the space station's destroyed location. The two walked to the door of the cabin, boarded Table No. [-], and "flyed" towards the gap.

"This side doesn't look like it was attacked by any weapon. The fracture looks more like it was hit or smashed out." Lan Ze studied the gap on one side.

Cang Qing was also carefully searching from another direction, and after a while, he suddenly pointed to a certain location and said, "There are traces of high temperature here."

"Where?!" Lan Ze asked quickly, Cang Qing cut the picture to Lan Ze's side.

"...It really is a trace of high temperature. Check to see if there is any radioactive harmful substance. If not, we will take some samples." Many weapons can cause this effect, just like the ones carried by the two mechs at this time, no matter what Whether it is a beam sword or a beam bomb can cause this effect.

Therefore, only through in-depth research can it be possible to judge whether this place was destroyed by "those things" or whether it was created by the people in the base during the counterattack.

If the gaps here were simply smashed open by violent heavy objects and cut by sharp weapons, the first thing Lan Ze thought of was the "meteorite" that the intelligent system inside called the spaceship he encountered last time.But if there are thermal weapons among those unknown threats, Lan Ze has to wonder if someone has created a new type of mecha, but the shape of those mechas is stone instead of metal in the traditional sense Mecha.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not impossible. After all, disguising the mech as a "stone" will be very hidden in the universe, and it is very simple to make a surprise attack.The only thing that puzzled him was - how did those guys manage to kill the people inside through the spaceship?

With all kinds of doubts and guesses, Lan Ze and Cang Qing, who were brainstorming, carefully got in through the gap.

No matter who made this gap, it is obvious that the other party is a big guy. There is no pressure for table number two to enter from here, and even some "passages" that have been forcibly opened up inside can make the two of them not have to think about leaving. Mechs, wearing spacesuits and in-depth issues.

The other party's body, or the mecha, was very large, so now the two could find their target just by following these traces, but after entering the transit hall, the traces basically disappeared.

No, it can't be said that it really disappeared, but the traces here have become disorganized, and there are traces of destruction and impact everywhere.

Moreover, this place was originally a place for people to transfer to and from flights and spaceships. At this time, the two of them saw many dead bodies here.

Some of those people looked dazed, some were terrified, and some obviously wanted to escape from here but died on the way.

Seeing that he couldn't see where the other party had gone for a while, Lan Ze looked at the corpses and sighed: "Start from there, let's search for traces little by little."

It's a big area here, so that's probably why the guys haven't seen any visible signs of movement.

The two began to check from the entrance and exit of the passage, but unexpectedly found that several large holes had been knocked out of the transparent cover of the passage, and a section was even completely damaged.

Either some of those guys came in from here too, or this is where they left.

After searching and searching a little bit, they couldn't find any traces of them entering from other places. Lan Ze and the two had no choice but to check every passage, building and room on every floor bit by bit.

The space station is not just a place for spacecraft transfers. In addition to people who transfer and take a break, there are lounges, houses for base station staff, and suites for people who temporarily rest here.

Therefore, it was already two days later when Lan Ze and Cang Qing went through all the rooms here and investigated them.

Furthermore, the two of them drove Table No. [-] to the connected space base, and after confirming that there were no conditions or living people there, they began to count the results of their investigation this time.

In addition to the two damaged space stations previously discovered, they found serious damage in places such as rooms rented to other people and the central energy station of the base that were broken by external forces.

Lan Ze focused on calling out some programs and documents preserved in the space station. In addition, there were also the contents of the computers in the rooms whose walls were broken.

At this time, all these things were handed over to the minibus. The two people who had worked hard for a few days returned to their house, washed and brushed, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep for ten hours to recover their energy.

When the two of them woke up the next day, the minibus had already helped Lan Ze complete half of the statistical report—yes, the report, and the two of Lan Ze's acceptance of this job meant that they had to pay attention to this report. Responsible for all investigations, so all problems encountered during the investigation, all situations discovered, etc. need to be compiled into a book and handed over to Ruoanna.

The minibus has counted the number of all the corpses Lan Ze and Cang Qing found during the inspection process, the state of destruction, screenshots and videos of the scene, and so on.The documents and materials that Lan Ze and Cang Qingshun returned were also sorted out by it and put aside.

After Lan Ze and Cang Qing woke up, its main body was waiting in the living room, and said to Lan Ze: "Master, all the documents have been sorted out in order, do you want to check?"

Lan Ze nodded, all the things that the minibus produced needed to be checked by him, and if there were any things that could not be sent to others, or some places that required specific instructions from the two of them, they would also be added.

"You continue to monitor the situation nearby, especially pay attention to the situation on those scattered meteorites or asteroids." Lan Ze still did not forget what the people in the last spaceship said, and always felt that the "meteorite" encountered by that spaceship was afraid What a threat.

"Yes, please rest assured, master!" Xiaoba puffed up his chest to express his seriousness and responsibility.

After breakfast, Lan Ze leaned against Cang Qing's arms, and the two of them nestled together in the big sofa and began to check the data sorted out by the minibus.

All the fatalities that have been found, no human body heat source was scanned at all in the space base, all energy sources in the space base and the space station were exhausted, several points that were destroyed, and the specific analysis of the gray "fog" components and the results of the breakdown The burn marks left on the walls and so on are all inside.

From the things that have been identified, the two of them really can't see anything abnormal. The composition of the "gray fog" is some relatively basic ore residues, and there are some metal elements in it, which are common in the universe. The composition of the meteorites scattered around the edge of the galaxy is not much different.

The burn marks found on the wall are also very common, and can be made with all known weapons on the Star Alliance, and there is nothing special about it.

Therefore, Lan Ze could only focus on other places, such as the records of the space station before the accident.And the information found in those rooms.

After the minibus finished its tidying work, after the two owners got up and left the bedroom, it waved its cleaning utensils and began to clean up the hygiene in the bedroom.

Clean up the sanitation everywhere, wash the clothes that the hosts have changed, and change a batch of furnishings in all the rooms.After confirming that there is no other work to be done for the time being, the minibus enters the storage room, rummages back and forth among the space boxes dedicated to it, and tinkers with a batch of materials that the owners say they don’t need, so that it can let it be creative , start a new round of creation.

In fact, as a robot, its creative behavior is a very incredible phenomenon.Because robots do not have so-called "creative inspiration", most of the "artwork" they make is just copying the works of their predecessors.The so-called "innovation" is just a new permutation and combination of all their known works and other things.

However, in addition to the basic performance requirements, each robot will be randomly attached with several different attributes when it is just produced.For example, like to sing, like to dance, like to like literary works, from time to time, a few famous quotes will come out in daily conversations, and even some robots like to watch the eight o'clock file, even if the owners don't watch it, the robot is watching After a period of service, it will also take the initiative to make this request.

And the "specialty" of the minibus is creation (although it does not actually create).

Lan Ze didn't know about these weird settings, but if he knew, he would be glad that the minibus's hobbies are relatively quiet, although for this reason, apart from some discarded items, their home will also be in an uneasy place. The robot requires some equipment and tools to be added.But it's much better than your own robot suddenly singing and dancing at home, isn't it?

After the upgrade that the minibus received on the central planet, due to the improvement in performance, the setting as an initial specialty has also been enhanced. Although it is still just "copying" certain things, it has changed from the previous Copying some existing works is sublimated to copying certain scenes and content on the screen as the source of creation.

From this point of view, it is not much different from human beings learning to paint and create.No matter if you are a painter or a sculptor, don't you all start from copying and learning other people's works to create your own works according to reality, and finally have works created purely by imagination?

The number of works created according to reality is even greater than the latter, and imitating other people's works is generally just a practice work.

At this time, the minibus sorts the finely crushed rice stalks according to different sizes, spreads a layer of cloth on a board, glues it to the board itself thoroughly, and dries the rice stalks according to the color, depth, etc. After sorting, start pasting.

That's right, it is now going to use these things to glue a rice straw painting.

The smart upgraded minibus has a considerable speed increase when doing this kind of tedious work. This one-meter-wide and 1.2-meter-long work only took it three hours to complete.

Satisfied with the idyllic beauty of the setting sun, Xiaoba decided to wait until it was completely solidified, and hang it in the corridor early tomorrow morning - the owner likes this style of work very much!

Back in the living room, add water to the teapots at the hands of the two hosts—after some of the flowers and plants planted at home are confirmed to be edible by Lanze, they are dried after they bloom and used as raw materials for flower tea. Occasionally, I will drink a little, and the rest will be handed over to the minibus, which can be put into its "creation".

Lan Ze pinched the swelling of his forehead, even though his reading speed was astonishingly fast, it still gave him a headache to read so many records in one go.

"I can't see anything from the record for the time being, I only know the approximate time when those people who were broken into the room came to the space station." Lan Ze sighed, took the bright red fruit tea that Cang Qing brought him, The sweet and sour taste was accompanied by a faint aroma, which made Aizen slightly loosen his brows, "I checked the records in the computer in one room, and found nothing...those people were exploring nearby. , The spaceship was broken down and they rested on the space station for a while, and they have been resting near the space station for three weeks... I hope they can find something useful in the private computers in the other rooms."

Cang Qing couldn't help him in this regard, so he could only gently pinch his stiff shoulders from behind.

Lan Ze put all his strength on the chest of the person behind him, and stared at an ornament similar to a Chinese knot hanging on the roof with a little ecstasy—produced by a minibus, but this thing was in Lan Ze one day I made it up based on the Chinese knot I drew with great interest.

What exactly are those things looking for?

Yes, what are you looking for? From those traces, it can be seen that although they did kill everyone, they only killed and left no traces of interrogation. If those guys had a grudge against someone, the two of them It is impossible for a person to come here without seeing the bloody and violent scenes.In those destroyed rooms, the other party did not touch those people's computers and personal property, but Lan Ze just felt that they seemed to be chasing something...

Knocking on his head that was over-revving, Lan Ze turned around and called the minibus to let it take the two of them's lunch from the refrigerator and space box at home.

Aozawa had prepared lunch before, and he could take it out and eat it as soon as he got busy.Today, the two of them decided to eat curry rice after discussion. The meat stewed in the curry was the kind of beef-like monster meat that the two of them had hunted on the hunting planet before.

That kind of aroma and taste is absolutely delicious when paired with curry and eaten with rouge rice!

The main raw material of curry, turmeric, Aozawa also found a substitute in the previous big purchase. In addition, he added several different spices, and finally made a [-]% similar taste. There are "potatoes" and "onions" grown at home. "As well as some other vegetables, the meat that matches that monster is indescribably delicious!

The vegetable salad taken out of the refrigerator can clear the mouth, and the crispy fried shrimp cooked by Lan Ze with the shrimp on the emerald star, dipped in curry sauce and eaten with rice is very delicious!

After the two of them scraped the bottom of the plate clean and handed over the cutlery to the minibus, Lan Ze returned to serious work.He needs to read these documents and complete all the reports as soon as possible and hand them over to Ruoanna.If there is still nothing useful to be found in the remaining files, then they will have to adjust their route, head towards other gray space stations, and investigate whether there is any useful information there.

After sinking his mind, Lan Ze plunged into the ocean of documents again, Cang Qing still willingly served as a back for Lan Ze, one hand dishonestly got under his clothes, stroking his strong and strong waist, and the other hand Then he looked at some of the documents that Lan Ze had read before—one person’s own account, maybe there were things that he had overlooked, but Cang Qing could see?That's why Lan Ze handed over the file to Cang Qing, asking him to help him filter it.

It took more than an hour to look at it. Suddenly, Lan Ze, who was checking the documents, froze for a moment, and quickly raised his hand to search for something from other places, which made Cang Qing, who was a little bored looking at the spaceship record list, turn back. God came: "Aze, what's wrong? What did you find?"

Lan Ze nodded his head, his face couldn't tell whether it was excited or ugly, his voice was a little dry: "Some things are very strange, I need to check..."

With Lan Ze's memory that has almost reached the point of photographic memory, it is reasonable to say that there is no need to check anything again, but this time the matter is different, he naturally needs to be more cautious, not to mention that it is not so simple for him to find the strange place problem, but...

"I found it..." There was a kind of shock in Lan Ze's voice, he turned his head back and forth quickly, almost comparing the left and right line by line, word by word, but in fact, when he saw the thing he opened He clearly knew all the contents above and was able to confirm the connection between the two, but he was still extremely shocked and checked them one by one.

"Ah Ze?" Cang Qing tightly hugged Lan Ze's waist.

"...Look at this, do you remember what this is?" Lan Ze suddenly pointed to the document he opened later.

Cang Qing looked at the words, and felt that the content seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while - he didn't have Lan Ze's brain like a copier.

Lan Ze didn't seem to expect Cang Qing to remember it so clearly, he took a deep breath: "I found this from the chip in my body - my father implanted the chip in my body before sending me to the shuttle cabin part of it."

Cang Qing was stunned, and then looked at Lan Ze's face in surprise.

Lan Ze showed a somewhat ugly smile: "Although this information is not implanted much, there are only a few sentences that introduce the general research direction of this kind of fret pattern, but it is almost exactly the same as the content in this document... "

And the part of the documents he just read today is much more complete than the part left by his father!

When Lan Ze's father put these results of his usual research on fretwork into Lan Ze's chip, because of the confidential nature of the work, he did not put the content of his work into it together, but only recorded it. The content of the possibility and direction of fretwork transformation, together with the notes, was stuffed in without looking at it.

So although Lan Ze knew the research direction of this kind of fret pattern, but because he didn't have time to study it in depth at the beginning, and later the fret pattern of the Bran Empire opened a door to a new world for him, so he put it aside— —No way, the new fretwork system researched in combination with the fretwork patterns of the Bran Empire is more efficient and powerful.

However, seeing this record and research report here again, Lan Ze doesn't believe it's a coincidence!

Suddenly, he straightened his body suddenly: "No, find out which spaceship these people came from!"

Cang Qing happened to be looking at this part of the information, and immediately helped him find the spaceship number and docking location according to the number registered by the room owner.

"Let's go, let's go to their spaceship!" Because the two of them set their targets on the destroyed space station at first, but they didn't go to those spaceships that were intact. What was found on those ships!
