Negotiations between Mr. Diplomat and the Wen Brothers were obviously not going well. Two days later, with a gloomy face, he completed the hostage exchange procedures with the federal officials who were also unhappy. He didn't even attend the luncheon after the exchange ceremony. Just announced the return of the fleet.

When the fleet returned, it was much faster than when it came because there was no need to guard against possible sudden attacks in the dark.

When Xin Xunyang and his party returned to Pangu, autumn had just entered here.

There are quite a lot of tall trees on the planet Pangu, the most famous of which is a species called "Purple Maple".A large number of purple maples are planted near the new residence chosen by Lu Xingxi. Walking into the community is like stepping into a dream world.

Stepping on the scattered purple maple leaves on the ground, before Xin Xunyang could find the address recorded on the terminal, a low meowing sound reached his ears first.He turned his head and saw a group of gray-black shadows rushing towards him.When Xin Xunyang grabbed the shadow and was about to throw the opponent out, he stopped in time because of the fluffy touch on his hand.

Lifting the hair ball in his hand a little higher, Xin Xunyang's ice blue eyes met the other's big amber eyes, Wingmao retracted its two front paws, carefully poked its head forward, and touched the tip of its nose to him.

"Gray? Why have they grown so big!" Xin Xunyang raised his eyebrows in surprise after recognizing who the hair ball in his hand was.

Compared with the size of his palm when I bought it back then, the current gray is more than one meter long, and only a strange knight like Xin Xunyang can hold him in his hand as easily as a rag doll.

A familiar voice answered for Gray: "It's more than three years old, isn't the size of an adult winged cat normal?"

Seeing Lu Xingxi, Xin Xunyang smiled lightly, and just as he was about to say a few sweet words to the other party, he was dragged directly into the laboratory.

"Hey, according to the normal development, you should give me a kiss at this time, at least a hug, right?" Looking at the various pipelines attached to his body, Xin Xunyang raised his hand to touch the circles on both sides of his temple. shaped stickers, but was slapped away by Lu Xingxi, and he couldn't help protesting.

Lu Xingxi, who was wearing goggles, said seriously: "Don't move around, let me collect the data."

I don't know when this guy's interest shifted from mechs to biology, Xin Xunyang was curious, and at the same time, according to Lu Xingxi's request, he honestly lay down in the instrument that looked like a shelled egg in the center of the laboratory.

"You have to make it up to me tonight..."

Before the door of the instrument hatch was closed, Lu Xingxi was speechless for Xin Xunyang's last words—although there were only the two of them in this laboratory, there were several people from his team sitting in the observation room next door!There is no need to confirm, Lu Xingxi also knows that those guys in the observation room must be laughing now.

Taking a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, Lu Xingxi exited the laboratory and ordered through the intercom: "Start."

The egg-shaped instrument emitted a warm white light, and Xin Xunyang, who was in it, felt a little sleepy for no reason.Thinking that Lu Xingxi was outside anyway, and he would not be in any danger, Xin Xunyang fell asleep peacefully.When he opened his eyes again, the light in the laboratory had become quite dim, obviously it was getting late.

Next to him, Lu Xingxi was packing his things in a very low voice.

Seeing that he didn't realize that he was awake, Xin Xunyang smiled secretly, closed his eyes, and when Lu Xingxi walked past him, he suddenly grabbed the other party's hand and pulled him into his arms.

Feeling that his neck was bitten, Lu Xingxi tugged at Xin Xunyang's short ponytail that had been put back together.

Xin Xunyang said vaguely: "Now there are no other people around." He is quite sensitive to the question of whether there are others within a certain range around him.

"You really did it on purpose before."

"Yeah, on purpose. Who told you to be so ruthless? You dragged me into the laboratory right after I came back." After confessing frankly, he stole another kiss on the other's lips, and Xin Xunyang let go of Lu Xingxi, "Frankly Sincerely, what are you collecting my data for, are you going to build a new mech?"

Lu Xingxi's eyes flashed, "No, keep it secret for now."

"How long is this temporary?"

"It depends on the progress of my experiment."

Knowing that at this stage, there is no need to extract any information from Lu Xingxi, Xin Xunyang tore off those obstructive pipes on his body, put on his coat, and stretched out his hand to Lu Xingxi: "I feel a little hungry after enough sleep, is there any good food around here?" restaurant?"

Stretching out his hand to hold each other, Lu Xingxi led the people out, and asked Feng Yao about his situation along the way.

After Xin Xunyang replied that everything was normal, he thought for a while and added: "I sent him the transfer beads you made. If the situation in the Federation is really bad, Feng Yao should know what to do!"

"That's not called a transfer bead, it's called bixx number 5." Lu Xingxi corrected.

"...The name you chose is too difficult to remember. The transfer bead sounds more auspicious, suitable for artistic conceptions such as life in a desperate situation." Before Lu Xingxi could refute, Xin Xunyang snapped his fingers suddenly, "By the way, Feng Yao Said that Chuning is still in Pangu, do you want to take him under your command?"

Hearing this, Lu Xingxi was also a little moved.

Regardless of personality, Chuning's talent is outstanding, if he can attract the other party...

"Will he be willing to join my team?" Thinking of Chu Ning's Yuliang complex, Lu Xingxi felt unsure about it.

Xin Xunyang smiled cunningly and said: "Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't agree, but now...he is Feng Yao's partner. Apart from you, no other technician team dares to accept him, right? Everyone is also afraid of accepting him." Come in a spy."

"This seems to be taking advantage of others." Lu Xingxi said lightly.

"Then... find another way?"

"No. Even if it's taking advantage of someone's danger, it's the simplest and most effective way." Lu Xingxi is not yet entangled in this kind of problem.

Although he decided to recruit Chuning and planned to take positive actions, the second day after Xin Xunyang came back, Lu Xingxi still stayed at the two of them's house and didn't go anywhere - there was no way, someone tossed him over and over again the night before , which caused him to have problems getting out of bed the next day. In such a situation, going to an interview with Chuning knew that the desired effect would not be achieved.

However, he didn't go to find Chuning, but Chuning came to his door by himself, and what he wanted to talk about coincided with what Lu Xingxi was thinking.

Chuning, who used to be regarded as the proud son of heaven, looked a lot haggard when they met this time.But the simple and direct personality remained unchanged. The two of them, who don't like nonsense, just discussed joining Lu Xingxi's team in less than an hour.Seeing that Lu Xingxi's condition was not good, Chuning didn't stay any longer.

Just before going out, Chuning hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your theory of biological mecha is very powerful, I can't compare it to myself." Because of this, he would take the initiative to ask to join the opponent's team.The strength gap between the two sides is already obvious, and he wouldn't just refuse to admit it just because of some personal emotions.

Hearing this, Lu Xingxi said calmly: "I just started relatively early, and you will definitely research your own theory in the future."

"Of course." Chuning replied confidently, with a bit of high-spirited expression in his brows.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the moment they shook hands, those small conflicts in the past were completely put aside.

******

In the past six months of the hostage exchange incident, both the New Boundless Federation and the Starlight Alliance were unexpectedly calm.The two sides seem to have acquiesced in the existence of the opponent, and they are developing silently.And the "Chuyang Free Business Zone" sandwiched between the two has gradually gained a firm foothold in the past six months. Although it will not be able to form a three-legged situation with the two giants, its power should not be underestimated. .

In the past six months, the biggest change in Starlight Alliance's technology has been the popularization of bio-mech technology fused with plant genes.However, this so-called "popularity" is only limited to the military.The legion leaders of the five major legions all regard the biological mech as a secret weapon in the future war with the New Boundless Federation, and naturally they will not leave any loopholes that may cause information leakage.

Guessing that the timing was almost the same, Lu Xingxi threw an explosive news to the other masters of the research institute - the New Boundless Federation also had biological mechas.

"What you said is true?!" Regardless of his image as a master, Fang He couldn't help but slapped the table and stood up after hearing Lu Xingxi's words.

Lu Xingxi nodded calmly, "The time when they started researching biological mechs should be about the same as mine, maybe even earlier than me. However, the research direction of the Federation is slightly different from mine."

Another master pushed his glasses and asked, "What is the 'different' you refer to?"

Lu Xingxi took out a chip and inserted it into the stereoscopic imager, and immediately after that, what he had seen and heard in the secret base on the old star was displayed in front of everyone attending the meeting.

"In the choice of raw materials, they choose animals, but I choose plants."

While listening to the explanation in Lu Xingxi's calm voice, while looking at the scene of Shura's Hell displayed by the imager, even though everyone present had experienced strong winds and waves, it was inevitable that some uncomfortable feelings would arise in their hearts.

"Are they... trying to use the genes of the star beasts on mechas?" someone asked.

Lu Xingxi glanced in the direction of the question, "It's also possible. But my personal opinion is...they may be man-made star beasts."

There was an uproar in the meeting room.

There are still different opinions about the origin of the star beast. It seems that this kind of creature suddenly descended into the Star Alliance one day.Biologists have proposed countless hypotheses, but none of them has been unanimously approved.But now, Lu Xingxi is so bold to put forward the hypothesis that "the star beast may be man-made"? !

"This, this is unreasonable. If the star beast can completely accept human orders, it is fine. In fact, this kind of creature has no sense at all, and it is completely murderous, isn't it? The remnants of the empire deliberately created such a creature. The monster..." Someone murmured with a pale face.

"No." Lu Xingxi interrupted the other party, "They didn't create such monsters on purpose. I think that the star beasts are just the failure of their research on biological mechs, and they chose to exile these monsters into the universe to 'dispose of garbage'. "

The meeting room became very quiet.

The information that Lu Xingxi revealed one after another today had a great impact on everyone present. It would be too embarrassing for them to immediately accept and break their inherent thinking.

And just when the mecha technicians in the Pangu Research Institute were troubled by the hypothesis put forward by Lu Xingxi, in the distant New Boundless Federation, an extremely inconspicuous small carrier quietly left the space port of Planet Kerim.
