Be careful from the male insect [Interstellar]

No matter how you look at it, it is a masterpiece.

It has the size of the fist of two adult female insects, and the reason why it is called a mechanical heart is because it is indeed made into the shape of a heart.The intertwined metal tubes and mechanical parts are gracefully and harmoniously intertwined and agitated, floating between the mechanical arms emitting a gloomy cold light, which is particularly shocking because of the life characteristics that do not completely match the mechanical form.

But appreciation in the moment is not the point.

The point is that this masterpiece is currently firmly stuck in Ivan's mechanical arm.

No, the key should be when did this kid Aiwen have such a cool prosthetic? ? ?

The picture is so beautiful and there are so many slots that Todd doesn't know what to complain about first.

And Ivan is already stupid.

He wished he could dig a hole on the spot and act as a digger.He was just this year, and it is normal for a young worm to be pregnant.Although they are both females, since he has never seen a male since he was a child, he never thought about it.Now it’s hard to meet a worm who just happens to grow in his aesthetics. Although it’s impossible to have any further relationship as two worms, it’s not too much to secretly poke and leave a little good impression!

He obviously just wanted to play it cool, why did he go astray directly into social death? ?

Aiwen looked at Ryan for help, and at the same time began to shake his arm vigorously in a panic, and the mechanical bracket creaked up and down.

Ryan stopped him before he shook himself apart, and then stepped forward to check.

"I haven't taught anything about machinery." Ryan was also helpless for a while.

"I accepted it." Ai Wen's eyes straightened, "But I can't see why... I have practiced countless times at home, and I can take it off smoothly! Why is it suddenly growing in my arm now?"

Ryan pondered for a moment, "Can you still contact Mr. Holden?"

"Good idea!" Ivan immediately touched his wrist, and was suddenly taken aback.

Holden euphemistically called it "preventing information leakage", and he and Todd didn't let him and Todd bring out the optical brain at all.

Now that's great: Not only did the "information leak prevention" measure fail to stop Ivan's fight with the Hook Killer, it also cut off the best hope of solving the problem.The connection is extremely precise, and the adaptability of the mechanical heart is quite high.He struggled for a long time, although the movement of his hands was not affected much, but the mechanical heart was tightly intertwined with the metal frame, as if it belonged there in the first place.

Aiwen despaired: So what should we do now?

He was in a daze, rising and falling on his seat, when suddenly a flashing red light came from the cabin roof.

[The scheduled return flight will automatically start within 15 minutes.Repeat: Timed return flight...]

Todd looked at Ivan dully: ...

Ivan looked at Ryan dully: ...

Ryan frowned.

Todd asked cautiously: "Ivan, do you think it's okay if you take this hand off and put it here?"

Ai Wen covered his face: "You want me to put my hand here? You might as well put my whole bug here... Wait a minute."

This seems to be possible!

Alvin didn't want to leave Tobias' house at first, but now that he came out, he was not so eager to go back.

Immediately he became excited, his imagination wandered, and he even took the terrible accident of the mechanical heart as God's will for a while.Since Holden chooses Aiwen to escort the mechanical heart, and the mechanical heart chooses to make a nest in his mechanical arm, doesn't it mean that he is destined to embark on an exciting journey away from home?Although if Holden knew that this thought of his might give him a sub-female single, since Holden is not here, and there is a certain probability that it is Holden's fault that he has fallen to this point, isn't it...

God-sent fate!

Aiwen started to peek at Ryan again.

The starship began to broadcast automatically again:

[The scheduled return flight will automatically start within 10 minutes.Repeat: Timed return flight...]

"Major General."

"you……"

Ivan and Ryan spoke at the same time, and stopped talking at the same time.

Aiwen got up quickly before Ryan could speak, and pleaded like a machine gun:

"Major General, the time is running out. I can't use non-violent means to completely remove my hand in 10 minutes. If I go back with a crippled hand, I may meet other killers on the way, and I may not be able to beat them. You see In this way, can you let Todd go back to do business by himself (Todd:?), and then pack me and the mechanical heart away? I promise not to add chaos, and Holden has taught me a lot of things before, although I can’t see it for a while The mystery of this glitch, but I definitely won’t be freeloading on Serbia!!”

Maybe his words were too forceful, Ryan's expression went blank for two seconds before he recovered his reaction.

Then he showed a soft expression to Ivan for the second time.

"I was just wondering if I could take the liberty of asking you to return to Serbia with me temporarily. But since you also have this intention, it happens to be the best of both worlds."

Now it's Todd who is confused: "Wait, wait a minute..."

He whispered to Ivan in a low voice: "Are you serious? Holden will really twist my head off!"

Ivan whispered to him in a low voice: "He's really not that violent...and in the end it's his fault, isn't it!"

Todd wanted to say more, but Ivan sat up straight quickly, and said to Ryan with a smile on his face:

"He has no other objections, let's go!"

----

Todd walked away in tears.Before that, he got Ryan's promise that as soon as they solved the failure of the mechanical heart and Aiwen's mechanical arm, they would send Aiwen back as soon as possible.During this period, all garrisons on Serbia will properly protect Aiwen's body.

The starship has been activated, slowly leaving the dock and blending into the sky.

Ryan led Ivan to the rest room.

He was only focused on connecting with the other party before, and didn't ask the other party's name. He caught it while listening to him talking with another big bug on the road.The little worm named Aiwen is a pitiful dwarf, with a kind of innocent detachment in his speech and behavior, and because of Ryan's growth environment, there are not many scenes of getting acquainted with worms with similar personalities.

In addition, Ivan has a small round face, which looks fair and clean. Ryan speculates that he is a female like Holden.In fact, his height and appearance are more suitable for males, but males are so precious and delicate, it is impossible for them to appear on the barren planet Tobias.Taking a step back, even if there were males on Tobias Planet, none would be crazy enough to send a male to the pier, risking his life.

Ryan couldn't help but think again when he saw Aiwen for the first time, how he turned around tremblingly, and then fell softly to the ground with a "poof".

What was your first reaction at the time?

【But it's pretty cute. 】

Then Ryan immediately condemned himself: What's the matter, after staying in Serbia for a long time, do you feel that a short Asian female has beautiful features?

All in all, such an unworldly worm has traveled thousands of miles to help the Serbian star, and even understands the righteousness, and is willing to leave home alone for the smooth delivery of the mechanical heart to the Serbian star. As Ryan said to Ivan before, "It is a very brave thing. thing".

Thinking of this, he gave Ivan a soft gaze for the third time, and asked:

"Evan, how old are you this year?"

Ai Wen was elated: "I'm an adult, my birthday just passed last week!"

Ryan felt even more compassionate immediately.

Ryan is 38 years old this year, and he is still a young bug in the Zerg with an average lifespan of 200 years.The reason why he can become a major general at this age is because of his military exploits and talent on the one hand, and because he is in charge of stationing the Serbian star on the other hand.And any worms who are older and have some military achievements will try their best to leave this barren star.

Ryan was in a daze, and Ivan next to him asked cautiously, "Major General, do you have anything to do now?"

"Just call me Ryan." He turned on the light brain, "I'm not busy, the starship is automatically piloted, I just take a break on the way back, and I can chat with you."

Ryan slid his finger on the optical brain, and found that the small program that Holden had inserted to him had disappeared without a trace.

Is it because he has automatically detected that the mechanical heart has successfully contacted the opponent's target insect (himself) in his own way, or is there another way for Holden to monitor Aiwen's whereabouts all the way?

Ryan frowned, remained calm, and looked back at Ivan who was sitting on the side with wide-eyed eyes.

He thought for a while and asked, "Have you never left Tobias Star before?"

Alvin shook his head.

"Are you scared?"

Ai Wen shook his head again, pursed his lips, his little face was flushed, and he even looked quite excited.

Ryan glanced at the optical brain again, and asked inadvertently, "Did Holden choose you to come to me because of your modified body?"

"Maybe." Ivan replied uncertainly, "Of course it should be more because he is my female father, and Todd was also watched by him growing up, so the two of us will be more reliable."

Ryan frowned imperceptibly.

Holden has a child, so who is Ivan's male father?

And Aiwen is a mechanical transformation bug.

Aiwen's mechanical body is another reason why Ryan immediately denied his male guess.

There are no worms with prosthetics in the barracks.The Federation does have them, but Ryan has never seen them. He only heard that they are the wreckage of the Spark Project, and most of them are failed experiments.Ordinary prosthetics can only maintain the basic limb shape, but to make it integrate with the body as shown by Aiwen, as if it has an autonomous life form, it must use the spark technology.

Aiwen must be a product of Spark technology.

The Spark technology has been developed for more than half a century, and it is still immature.Using the spark technology to dock worms is quite dangerous, and the failure rate is quite high. Even Holden couldn't rashly use precious males to conduct experiments.The natural awe of males is part of the reason, and the other is that once the harm to males is discovered, the price will only be the death penalty.

But it is also illegal to conduct illegal experiments on subfemale.

This is also a point that makes Ryan puzzled: If so, what does Holden mean by sending the mechanical transformation bug Aiwen directly to him, the major general?

So far, Ryan has observed five mechanizations of Ivan's body.The first is the left hand, right arm, and right eye that are displayed in front of him.The degree of mechanization of the legs cannot be judged temporarily, but there are pulleys on both feet, so it can be determined that at least the feet are made of insects.The installation of mechanical prosthetics is necessarily in situations where those limbs no longer exist.

Ryan found it difficult to allow himself to contemplate the events behind him.

No matter what the reason for doing this is, it must be an extremely painful process for the experimental subject.

He looked at Ivan who was looking left and right excitedly.

It's just a child who has just grown up.
