Song Ci and the others were chatting when suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Then, the box that the professor asked the star thieves to bring was pushed in.

When things passed by the door of the cell, Song Ci and the others looked curiously. The boxes were all black, three big and two small. Feeling, it is estimated that they are all specially customized.

As expected of a mecha master, even the boxes he uses are so handsome.Zhang Chi's eyes lit up.

"Professor, your things have been delivered." The star thief who delivered the things stood at the door of the cell and said cautiously.

The professor leaning against the wall opened his eyes and glanced at the box, "What about the rest?"

The man laughed and said, "We haven't finished checking the rest, but don't worry, we will definitely return them to you when you leave."

"Is it because I'm afraid that those things will be dangerous if I keep them here?" Professor Ponton unceremoniously exposed him.

"Professor, I'm just a young man, please don't embarrass me." The star thief begged for mercy.

Professor Ponton sighed lightly and said nothing more.

Feeling relieved, the star thief quickly pushed the boxes in, nodded and said, "Are you hungry, I'll get you and the boys next door something to eat."

"Wait," the professor called to stop him, "Is there a bigger room? I want to move to the same room with the boys next door."

Star Pirates:? ? ?

Hearing the professor's words, Song Ci and the others next door were a little surprised. They were worried about how to get in touch with the professor to get the password, which was quite logical.

"I said, I can't stop my research, do you think I'm joking?" The professor glanced at the star thief who was frozen at the door, "Otherwise, you can find a few people to help me."

"Arrangement, I will arrange it for you immediately." The man said hastily.

Within a few minutes, Song Ci and the four of them plus the NPC with the afro and the professor were placed in a relatively large cell, and there was even a table with a lamp in the room.

But there was only one bed, and Song Ci and others could only sleep on the floor at night.

But this is not a big deal for everyone, after all, they have even lived in an open-air prison.

Everyone thought that the professor said that he wanted to start his own research work, but he was just making excuses or deliberately embarrassing the star thief, but it turned out that the professor really wanted to work.

The professor's suitcase was also the one with a combination lock, and Song Ci and Ke Wen kept a close eye on the professor's movements.It is customary for a person to set a password. Although it is a four-digit password, it is good to know the professor's common password first.

The password entered by the professor is simple and expected, 0404, his own birthday.

He swiftly opened the three large boxes, both of which were filled with hand-painted semi-finished drawings.

This is also the first time Song Ci and others have seen the blueprint of the mecha.

I didn't expect that after the design drawings of the mecha were disassembled, it would be so complicated!Even a nut has a separate design drawing.Everyone was stunned by the number of drawings.

In order to make it easier for him to check, the professor directed everyone to paste a few stacks of blueprints on the wall of the cell, and the room was immediately flooded with all kinds of sharp streamlined blades and wings.

The professor should be designing a new mech. The drawings on the wall are dozens of versions of a blade with wings on the back, each with its own differences in overall shape, length, size, and deformation position.Although many of the labels above, such as material energy consumption, are hard to understand, it does not affect their appreciation of the main picture on the drawing.

The star thief who came to deliver food to them was also shocked and speechless when he saw the blueprints all over the wall.

"Professor, why is the name of the feeder 'Xu'?" Zhang Chi and Ke Wen, who have social cow X syndrome, ran over to talk to Professor Ponton during the meal break.

The chopsticks in Professor Ponton's hand paused, and he looked at the two of them with a half-smile, "Why, you fell asleep during the maiden voyage ceremony?"

Zhang Chi & Ke Wen: ……………

Sleep is sleep, but really don't blame us.We were asleep when we got here.

"'Xu' represents eleven in the Chinese culture of the ancient earth, and eleven is a very important number to me." Professor Ponton explained gently without embarrassing them anymore.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but glanced at Song Ci proudly, senior, did I guess right?

"Did something particularly significant happen when you were 11 years old?" Ke Wen looked curious.

"No, it was exactly 11 years after I entered the prison that I met the most important person in my life." The professor seemed to recall something from the past, and turned his head to look at the lavender nebula outside the porthole.

Song Ci frowned. The second floor of the secret room they went to was the No. 11 year when the professor was in prison.The direction they guessed before should be correct. Each secret room is the most important time node in the professor's life.

"Is he as handsome as me?" Ke Wen rested his hand on his chin, and jokingly made a concave shape that he thought was handsome.

"You are more handsome." Ke Wen's posture made the professor laugh, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes wrinkled deeply, "but he is really interesting."

"He likes to tell jokes?"

"No, he is very optimistic and will have many whimsical ideas. Romantic and interesting, for example," the professor pointed to the nebula outside the porthole, "do you know what that nebula smells like?"

Ke Wen:? ? ?

How could this be known?

"Charred beef."

Ke Wen looked at the piece of fried beef on the plate, wondering for a moment if the professor was joking.Because the beef on his plate had a great burnt smell.

Song Ci thought for a moment, "Is it polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons?"

"Young man, you guessed right." The professor looked at Song Ci in the corner.

"I also remembered that I heard people say something similar before." Song Ci touched his nose.

"That's right, I heard that too." The professor turned to the window, "It is said that there was a fruit called raspberry on the ancient earth, and there was also a kind of wine called rum. Rum was used as the base wine, and raspberry was added. The syrup is made into a cocktail, and the man told me that the center of the Milky Way is the taste of this cocktail."

The smell of ethyl formate.Song Ci blinked silently, the center of the Milky Way is said to be filled with a large amount of ethyl formate.

"We once made a promise that if we go out in the future, we will fly to the center of the universe in a mecha designed by ourselves, open a bottle of Milky Way, pour a glass of starlight, and never return drunk." The professor stared out the window, lost in memory among.

"It sounds quite romantic." Zhang Chi sighed while holding the plate.

Shen Yunhai said, "What about others?"

"Dead, he didn't get out of that prison." The professor sighed, with endless haze and pain in his eyes, "Do you know that there is an organization that opposes me called Human Bone Puzzle?

They said that I am still alive because I stand on the bones of countless people, and all my achievements are made up of those bones.

Sometimes, I even think they are right.Like those who died on the feeder today, if it weren't for me, they might not have died at all. "

Shen Yunhai: ...

Song Ci really wanted to comfort the professor, but she didn't know how to speak.Today's moonlight cannot illuminate the road of last night.How can the words of an outsider unravel the vicissitudes of life in the picture?

Feeling the heavy air pressure in the room, Ke Wen looked at the mechanical wings all over the wall, and cleverly changed the subject, "Could it be that the mech you are designing now is to fulfill that agreement?"

The professor shook his head, "Yes and no, to be precise, I have always wanted to design a mecha that can fulfill this agreement. But it has never been successful."

"You can definitely do it!" The explosive head next to him said excitedly, "We will try our best to help you, and you can tell us whatever you want."

In this way, after eating, they started working with the professor again.

Although most of them were just doing some manual work of sorting out the blueprints, everyone was still doing it with enthusiasm.

The next morning, Xia Wu came over to give the professor a review, and at the door, he encountered a routine interrogation by the gatekeeper.

"Your case has water in it?" The man flipped through Xia Tianwu's blank medical records, and found that the top pages were a little wrinkled, and said jokingly.

"I played too high last night, the beauty knocked over the water glass." Xia Tian nonchalantly picked up his collar.

"I understand." Star Bandit smiled and opened the door of the cell area.

Xia Tian walked in without carrying the medicine box.

In the room, Song Ci, Zhang Chi and others were lying on the ground in disorder, which startled him, and it took half a second to realize that these people were asleep.

"This group of people are too troublesome. They kept making troubles until midnight yesterday." Star Pirate yawned and complained.

"I'll move quickly so that you have time to catch up on your sleep." Xia Tian said with a wink.

"No, you're busy, I'll just keep watch." The star thief didn't dare to offend the only doctor on the ship, and his attitude was very cooperative.

When Xia Wu went to the professor's bedside, he deliberately woke up Song Ci.

Song Ci opened his eyes in a daze, and seeing that it was Xia Wu, he immediately realized that the other party might want to message him.

"Take it easy." He squinted his eyes lazily and sat up complaining.

"Hey, this little face is flushed from sleep, and it's quite attractive." Xia Tian touched Song Ci's chin in a daze.

Song Ci: ……………

How do you play the role of pervert so easily?It's almost like acting in his true colors.

"Baby, this is my room number. If you are interested in sleeping with me overnight, please ask them to call me inside." Xia Tian Wu grabbed the case book and tore off the crumpled pages in front of her in distaste. , threw it into the trash can in the house, and wrote four numbers on the new one, deliberately letting the star thief at the door see clearly that it was his room number, and then stuffed it into Song Ci's room ambiguously. neckline.

At this time, Zhang Chi and Ke Wen also woke up one after another. Seeing Xia Wu, their eyes lit up.

"Where's the one you brought back yesterday?" Song Ci asked in a 'perplexed' way.

"He, he claims to be both salty and sweet, and it's true." Xia Wu pursed his lips, with a look of endless aftertaste.

Song Ci: ……………

Suddenly want to knock your head off!

Wait, claiming to be salty or sweet?

In other words, Tang Si said this sentence?Doesn't he not know what this sentence means?

Why do you want to mention this sentence?

"Cough!" Ke Wen couldn't hold back, choked, who?Big brother can be sweet?

After saying this word, Xia Wuxin was actually very nervous, wondering if Song Ci could understand Tang Si's hint.But with Star Thief staring at him, he had no choice but to turn to Professor Ponton, and started to get down to business, changing the medicine cloth for the professor's wound.

Song Ci quickly thought about the meaning of "salt and sweetness", and determined that there must be another mystery in it.His chest suddenly pricked, and when he touched the note that Xia Wusai gave him, something flashed through his mind like lightning, could it be that?

For the banquet in the afternoon, Xia Wu also specially helped the professor change a skin-colored invisible medicine cloth.After dealing with it, in order to avoid the star thief's suspicion, he quickly left with the box.

Before leaving, he blew another kiss to Song Ci, "Beauty, I'm waiting for your call."

"Understood~" Song Ci nodded perfunctorily, but threw the piece of paper into the trash can in front of him.

Actually understand?These two are too extreme.Xia Tian felt relieved, but had to put on an annoyed look on his face, and left the cell.

The professor also stayed up until midnight yesterday, and fell asleep again after Xia Tian left.Ke Wen and Zhang Chi approached alertly, "Is there any news?"

They felt that Xia Wu must have left some information, but they didn't want to understand it.

"Yes," Song Ci moved to the side of the trash can, and found out the crumpled blank medical papers that Xia Wu threw in first, "here."

Zhang Chi turned both sides over, "Is there nothing on it?"

"Don't worry, it'll be there soon." Song Ci turned on the desk lamp confidently, and put the blank case paper on the light bulb.

It didn't take long before dense brown writing appeared on the paper, and the words on the top were 'retreat plan'.

Zhang Chi was dumbfounded.

"Invisible ink?" Ke Wen immediately responded, "Where did they get the invisible ink? How do you know?"

Song Ci smiled brightly, "Didn't he say that? Salt can be sweet. His invisible ink is sugar water and salt water."

In the idealized snow chamber before, they discussed the use of daily items such as sugar water, salt water, and vinegar to make invisible ink, but Tang Si actually remembered it so clearly.

Ke Wen: ……………

The author has something to say: Tang Si: I remember every second with you very clearly.

Remarks: 1. According to the Max Plank Institute (Max Plank Institute), ethyl formate, the key chemical component contained in raspberries and rum, is easily found in the center of the Milky Way.So, romantically speaking, the center of the Milky Way smells like raspberries and tastes like rum.The solar system, on the other hand, is said to smell like hot metal and grilled steak.
