doomsday exile

It was an ordinary night.

The definition of night comes from the time prompt in the computer terminal.

Usually at this time, everyone has finished their day's work and is ready to go back to the carrier to rest, or find two friends who can chat with each other to play table tennis, or look at the dark universe outside the porthole in a daze. This is the leisure time to empty the brain .

On earth, they can rotate continuously day and night, but they are not allowed to work overtime or study like this in space. Anyway, they must live strictly according to the schedule.

If it wasn't for an enemy waiting ahead, if it wasn't for the uncertain future, this kind of stable life would have made Lu Di suspect that he had returned to the worker's hut.

Uh, speaking of it this way, this house seems to be a group rented house?Property rights do not belong to oneself?

The advantage seems to be that there is no need to pay rent, water and electricity?

Yes, this can be regarded as a national high-quality affordable housing!

——It will not be complained by the neighbors about being noisy. The disadvantage is that you can't find neighbors.

Lu Di regretfully strolled along the corridor on the edge of the spaceship.

The name is to observe the solar panels unfolded outside, put on headphones and listen to the volume and speech speed of the rock singer today, so as to determine how to adjust the solar panels, whether to put them away, etc., in fact, it is an evening walk.

When you see a good relationship and pass by, say hello, just like the old man in the community.

All that's left is a child in hand and a dog at his feet.

Lu Di seems to be obsessed with music while working, but in fact his eyes are very sharp. After the two spiritual bodies walked by, he suddenly turned his head, carefully looked at the flow of energy particles between the two "people", and then sneaked He quickly turned on the channel of the earphone and told Yan Long that he suspected that someone in the regiment had left the order.

Yan Long: "..."

Yan Long felt that Lu Di might be thinking too much. Under such circumstances, not many people are in the mood to fall in love.

Even if you have a good impression, you won't express it directly. Who knew you would stare at him?

"I used to always feel unlucky. How could I see our relationship at a glance? Even Lu Yun can detect it. Now I know...Really, this is too obvious. Energy particles can't lie. I seem to remember What is the name of the famous saying, 'There are only three things in the world that are hardest to hide, poverty, coughing and love!'”

Although, why do you put poverty in the first place?

Yan Long instinctively wanted to search for the order of the original words.

However, there is no such thing in Yuhui's entertainment database.

"...Probably tomorrow night." Lu Di stretched his arms and suddenly became serious.

Although this sentence has no beginning or end, Yan Long knows what he is talking about.

The long voyage is coming to an end, and the meteorite Yermungandr is about to appear on the scanning screen.

Then they need to adjust the direction according to the position of the meteorite and implement the plan.

"It should be tomorrow."

Zheng Xi put down the table tennis racket in his glove and said to his companion.

Although this sentence did not enter the public channel, everyone invariably murmured, sooner or later.

It's an awareness of being ready to go into battle.

Now, there was no worry in their hearts, only a slowly burning fighting spirit remained.

***

Six o'clock in the morning Earth time.

The ship's main control room.

Yan Long had just finished his routine contact with the earth, and in the transparent vessel under the floor, the light on the jellyfish was gradually extinguishing in an area.

Sending transmissions over long distances is cumbersome and energy-intensive.

For fear of being intercepted by the alien AI Ye Mengjia, the content of the communication has to be encrypted.

Yan Long even "cunningly" imitated the signal frequency of the Eden Space Station. The Earth Federation also made the Eden Space Station send out some meaningless similar signals every day. difference.

Humans are a noisy bunch.

Since mastering the technology, it has been sending radio waves into space non-stop.

A kind of noise pollution is starting to form around the Earth—any chatter that no one wants to hear is noise.

Humans have launched many probes. These probes to Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will send back "information" at regular intervals after arriving at the location. Before the service life is exhausted, they will revolve around the target and continue to "report" ".

There are also some probes sent to more distant planets are still on the way, and they are no different from ordinary small celestial bodies in the universe.

So Ye Mengjia will not find them one by one and destroy them, because this is tiring and meaningless, who has nothing to do to fish for a pebble in the Pacific Ocean?

Yan Long didn't expect Yemengjiade to ignore such a bright target as the Yuhui, he just hoped Yemengjiade would not discover his existence so quickly.

Yan Long was very sure that he had left a deep impression on Ye Mengjiad.

Yan Long's positioning of himself is not actually AI, he is using the intuition of a sniper - first pretend to sneak up on the enemy.

It's a pity that Yemengade's technology is slightly higher than that of human technological civilization. It is impossible to squat silently and wait for the enemy to enter the ambush circle. He can only pretend to be himself.

If Yemengarde regards himself as a spaceship like the Statue of Liberty and is ready to kidnap, then that's fine, the enemy's intentions are my chance.

The closer he was to the enemy, the calmer Yan Long became.

He began to inspect the spaceship, retracting some of the extended wings, and hiding the gun port.

Yan Long is convinced that human civilization is far inferior to Yemengjia's "knowledge" in this respect. Spaceships before human beings are said to be the highest technology, but in fact they are standard equipment for a transport cabin in interstellar voyages. Yemeng Gad can tell at a glance where the few weapon systems are housed.

Time is passing by every minute and every second.

Distances are shortening.

"Drip, beep, beep—"

Lu Di, who was in a light sleep, jumped up from the sudden notification tone and the sudden rapid beeping.

His rest cabin is quite special, it's in Yan Long's main control room.

It is said to be a rest cabin, but it is actually a metal carrier robot with a human hand.

Because the space inside is narrow, and there is a feeling of a separate bedroom, and the carrier has the ability to touch external objects, so the mental body will also have a sense of security psychologically.However, Lu Di strongly urged Yan Long to bring his carrier here.

Lu Di wanted to watch the jellyfish sleeping in the luminous tube, which would be more at ease.

Since all the things in the main control room are of a level that cannot be touched casually, Lu Di also asked Yan Long to fix the carrier robot.

Lu Di's sudden awakening only made him roll in the cabin, and at the same time the robot's eyes automatically lit up, showing the "power on" status.

"what happened?"

Lu Di hurriedly checked the computer terminal that comes with the carrier.

In the middle of the display screen is a long and narrow green airship cursor, and the space quantum detection area flickering around it is the space quantum detection area assisted by Yan Long.

Now a huge red dot appears at the top.

"Jomgard?"

Lu Di took a breath and hurriedly checked the time.

At 48:[-], Lu Di does not need to be on night duty, and his normal sailing schedule starts at [-]:[-].

"Shouldn't it be tonight? Why is this guy so fast?" Although Lu Di was surprised, he was not particularly anxious.

Anyway, the plan has been deduced countless times, and now it is only the final chapter staged in advance.

Yan Long replied in a deep voice, "It's accelerating."

"what?"

Lu Di scratched his head, "Are we exposed?"

"Probably not, it may have just found its prey."

When you see the enemy, remember that the enemy sees you too.

Yan Long raised the alarm without hesitation, and after turning on the computer terminal, the mental body on the entire spaceship jumped up and ran to the cockpit without hesitation.

"I go first."

Lu Di turned around and greeted.

"Well, I need to recalculate the data, the speed of the meteorite has changed." Yan Long remained calm.

Lu Di gritted his teeth and rushed out of the main control room.

The first accident happened before the battle started. Yan Long needed to stay in the main body to operate the quantum computer, and had no time to enter the fusion state with his clone. Lu Di could only rely on himself for the time being.

Jormungandr was accelerating at a constant speed.

Not very fast, but enough to make people nervous.

Lu Di took a deep breath, and then chose to enter the cockpit, which is the most stable core area of ​​the spacecraft. At the same time, there is a shortcut channel that can directly enter the mech—or it should be called the launch cabin.

Metal robots appeared one after another, and then sat in the egg-shaped protective cabin.

One by one, the lights symbolizing "online" and "ready" are lit up.

With a soft sound, the door of the cockpit closed, and then the whole cabin turned 180 degrees.

The interior of the Passover spacecraft is undergoing a series of changes, and these egg-shaped protective cabins are sorted one by one, falling or rising rapidly.

Lu Di is that special one who has no spiritual body to be with him.

"Crack, click."

The metal shell of the protective cabin began to stretch, and countless mechanical arms stretched out, added some parts to it, and finally pushed it down suddenly.

The protective pod landed on the back of a giant metal spider, automatically becoming a part of it.

Only then did Lu Di start operating the terminal, input the password, open the protective cabin, and enter the inside of the mecha.

——As for the place where he stayed just now, it was the rescue cabin that would leave the mech in a critical moment.

"Mecha No. [-] is ready."

The mecha warehouse in the belly of the Yuhui is full of such giant spiders.

Lu Di was the last one, the farthest from the hatch.

"Camouflage mode activated."

All the spiders shrank on the spot and turned into an oval metal ball.

Lu Di was waiting anxiously, and finally heard a familiar voice.

"New data loaded."

"Currently there are still four hours before the encounter with the enemy."

"No. [-] to No. [-] are ready for ejection. Pay attention to concealment after entering space."

"Execute the third plan."

Lu Di's heart sank, which meant that Yan Long could not leave the Yuhui for the time being.

Was it Yermungandr who launched the invasion as soon as he discovered the strange human spaceship, and wanted to control the spaceship?

No, this possibility has long been guessed, and Yan Long also has a prepared plan.

There is no need to directly switch to the tactics of pretending to fall.

Trick AI into killing?

Yermungandr's body is in the meteorite, even if it is put in, this part of the loss is only a relatively large program, just like the clone of AI.

Lu Di didn't have time to think about it.

The closer the distance, the higher the possibility of the spider mecha being discovered, so let's go first.

Lu Di stared forward, and controlled the big metal ball to roll slowly to the hatch.

Then a thrust sent him into the blackness of space.
