my son billions

Regarding the new suggestion given by Xiao Ye Zi, Xu Chu's other reaction was to grab the other's branch and look it up and down curiously, apart from being terrified.

He remembered that Little Leaf used a branch to insert into No. 2's body to help the other party resist the devouring insect, and then used it to prey on the devouring insect.But now it says that it can use this to insert into a human's brain to find out what the other person is thinking.

This function is too bad?

But the most important thing is——"If you insert this into his brain, can he still live?"

Xiao Ye Zi reacted for a while, then nodded hesitantly.

But Xu Chu didn't dare to take the risk, so he asked someone to catch a devouring worm, and wanted Xiao Yezi to have a try.But then when he saw a devouring worm the size of a washbasin, he was shocked again.

"What's going on here? It's growing too fast? And why does it look so much like the alien larva facehugger in a sci-fi movie?"

"Yeah!" No. 3 kept nodding on the sidelines, but echoed with an irrelevant answer, "It's delicious when it's big, and it has a lot of meat!"

When Xu Chu heard this, he turned his head and looked at it amusedly, but felt that their simple way of thinking was really cute.He couldn't help reaching out and touching No. 3's head, but then he thought in his heart that he still needs to pay more attention to the growth of the devouring worms, and it's best not to cause any irreversible disasters because of their carelessness.

However, in subsequent experiments, Little Leaf did prove that after its branch was inserted into the opponent's brain, it would not harm the opponent's life.At the same time, it can also transmit the information in the other party's brain to Xu Chu's brain.

Although the idea of ​​devouring insects is actually very simple, it can be summed up in one word as "eat".But at the same time, Xu Chu also noticed one thing, that is, there seemed to be some kind of connection between the devouring worm and the devouring worm, allowing them to transmit information to each other.So the information he can obtain is not just their greed for food, but a desire aggregation of countless greeds for food.Xu Chu couldn't help frowning.

This is probably not an ordinary individual-based species, and combined with the other party's terrifying devouring ability, Xu Chu couldn't help but worry about it.

In fact, in his original intention, he hoped to completely eliminate this bug.But now, most of the life on Kuipengla relies on this kind of bugs to survive.Without them, his little bugs would all starve to death.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu couldn't help sighing.It seems that he has to find a way to find enough food as soon as possible to feed his little bugs.

And once Xiao Yezi's ability was confirmed, Xu Chu couldn't wait to find that alien visitor again.

Fandral was locked in a cave by them, but the inside was very clean and well lit. After a layer of blanket was spread, a place was specially prepared for him to defecate.Usually once he finishes using it, it will be cleaned up immediately.

At that time, Fandral thought that this creature was really hospitable and hygienic.As everyone knows, this is because Xu Chu has just issued an order to "collect animal excrement to irrigate the fields".

But for the current Fandral, if he hadn't been guarding a group of vicious giant creatures all day long, he really felt that life here was much more comfortable than his original life on Capital Planet, and he simply didn't want to go back. .

So when Xu Chu arrived in a hurry, what he saw was Fandral who had gained a whole size.He looked him up and down in surprise, wondering if it was because the food here was so poor that he was malnourished and swollen.

He didn't know that his little bugs were feeding Fandral completely according to their own appetite. Not to mention a lot of food was sent to him every day, and they were carefully cooked, with a combination of meat and vegetables.

In the first few days, Fandral's digestive function degraded due to years of consumption of nutritional supplements, and he was unable to digest this kind of primitive and rough food.

This new one not only eats a little, but only once or twice a day.Seeing that they are getting thinner and thinner, it is really not as good as raising those black bugs, which can grow fat and round just by eating some dirt and sand.I have prepared so much food for him, but I am getting thinner and thinner. Isn't this a waste?

However, it obviously underestimated the adaptability of the human body. In a few days, Fandral was able to let go of his stomach to eat and drink.

Fandral really feels that his current life has reached the pinnacle of his life.

Not to mention that there are people serving and drinking, the food delivered every day is also delicious that he has never eaten before.Before he was a child, the food he could choose from was nutritional supplements. From the horrible taste and expensive nutritional supplements of the ore star, to the supplements of the capital star with different flavors, relative to the income level, it has become cheap Many nutrients.

But no matter what kind of nutrient it is, it is only a semi-solidified liquid after all. No matter what flavor is added, eating too much will still make eating a boring burden.

And what he does the most is to wear an optical brain while taking nutritional supplements, while watching expensive paid eating and broadcasting programs on the Internet.

In the entire alliance, this kind of raw and rough food has become a luxury.And people like him can only watch others eat, and have to pay to watch.

In fact, it is not that there are no planets dedicated to breeding and planting in the alliance. With the blessing of modern technology, the production is also amazing.But what is really expensive is the energy used for interstellar spaceflight.To transport those foods from the origin star to the consumption star will consume a lot of transportation energy, which will greatly increase the price of the product and become an expensive food that these low-level humans cannot afford at all.

Most of what they can eat is highly concentrated nutritional supplements processed directly from raw materials at the place of origin.These nutrients will only take up very little space in the spaceship and are not perishable, greatly reducing transportation costs.The other part is reprocessed from consuming the local organic waste of the planet—in simple terms, it is the excrement of humans who eat real organic food.

As gross as this may sound, it's actually become part of everyday life for lower-income earners.

But now - Fandral thought happily while happily nibbling on a large piece of meat.He must learn the language here and make friends with this hospitable creature here.Then he can not only earn a large amount of credits through them, but also live here for a while and enjoy this high-end life.

So when Xu Chu came in, he saw such a scene.He watched silently outside the door for a long time, until Fandral finally finished eating a large piece of meat and was about to pick up the next piece before he walked in.

Seeing him, Fandral immediately stood up in a panic, stretching out a pair of greasy hands, feeling a little at a loss.Then he had an idea, quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, pointed at himself and said, "Fandral, my name is Fandral."

Then he quickly pointed to the food that he had already eaten more than half, and said, "Swallowing worms, it's delicious."

Xu Chu couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words. He didn't expect that the other party had learned a few words of their language in just a few days.And No. 2 and the others turned out to be using devouring worms to entertain their guest.

But after thinking about it, he wasn't surprised. After all, the only meat allowed to be used here was devouring worms.And other animals have long been protected animals.

While thinking about it, Xu Chu smiled kindly and nodded to him—although he was not sure whether the other party could receive his kindness from his expression.

Then he took a few steps closer to the other party, stretched out a tentacle to point at the other party, and said, "Fandral."

Then he turned the tentacles back and pointed at himself, "Xu Chu."

The pronunciation of his own name is actually rather awkward. For Fandral, who is new to this language, it is not easy to pronounce, and he has no plan to let the other party learn it.

So just when Fan Daer understood Xu Chu's meaning, grinned happily, and tried to pronounce the two syllables "Xu Chu", Little Leaf, under Xu Chu's signal, quickly stretched out his branch and inserted it straight into Fan Daer's. temple.Fandral was so frightened that he fell to the ground in horror, almost thinking that he was going to die.

But then, he heard a soft voice in his mind.

"Don't be afraid, this won't hurt you, it's just an aid to help us communicate."

This way of communication is actually very wonderful, and Xu Chu doesn't know the specific principle.So he simply reassured the other party and asked a few questions.Most of the time, he kept silent, in case the other party could get some information from him that he didn't want to disclose.

"So can you tell me, where are you from and why did you come to us?"

Although Xu Chu tried to comfort him, Fandral still took a long time to accept his situation.But his brain was suddenly inserted into a tree branch, and he was very worried that the other party would smash his brain into pieces if he was not careful, so he stiffly maintained the posture of falling and did not move, but began to answer Xu Chu's question attentively.

"I'm Fandral, and I'm from the capital star of the Freedom Alliance. I'm here—I'm here for tourism." Fandral hesitated for a while, then said.

He is now shocked by the other party's terrifying way of detecting thoughts, and at the same time, the other party's image in his heart has instantly become unpredictable, instead of the mild and low-level one they learned in the program. Intelligent creatures.So he finally chose to conceal his true purpose.

He was afraid that when the other party knew that they had used other methods to probe into each other's lives without the other's permission, they would anger each other.Then by then, he might not be able to leave this planet.

But at this time, Xu Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.He found that he heard two voices at the same time, one was what Fandral wanted to express, and the other was what he wanted to hide.He wasn't irritated by Fandral's behavior, but he was wary of this way of thinking.

Although he didn't know whether this kind of open communication was two-way, but if it was, it would be quite dangerous for him.

So he didn't entangle with the other party in this regard, and then asked: "How big is the Freedom Alliance? Do we also belong to the Freedom Alliance?"

Hearing that the other party was no longer obsessed with his reason for coming, Fandral couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then quickly replied: "The Freedom Alliance is very large, and now contains most of the galaxies with intelligent life, covering dozens of galaxies, hundreds of It is a planet suitable for living. But Kuipenla is not actually in the territory of the Freedom Alliance. Strictly speaking, Guipenla is independent. Because it is too remote, it has not been paid attention to, and basically no one will come Here, and the resources here, are not worth the expedition's fuel to explore."

Of course, if they knew that there was such a rare mimic beast here, it might be completely different.

It's just that Fandral didn't say the last sentence, but Xu Chu still heard it.

At that moment, Xu Chu's heart skipped a beat.Then he nodded calmly, and continued: "During this time, I'm sorry for not being able to treat you well, because our food here is really in short supply."

"No, no! The food is very delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food." Fandral quickly wanted to shake his head in denial, but when he thought of a tree branch being inserted into his brain, he immediately dared not move.

It's just that he still smiled stiffly, wanting to show that he was flattered, so as to win the other party's favor, so he said, "You are really too generous. In our place, we can only eat some tasteless Nutrients. And the food I ate during the time here can already cover my income for several years.”

Hearing this, Xu Chu's heart moved slightly.Then his expression became more gentle, but there was a look of regret on his face.

"It's just a pity that we are now short of food and facing famine on a large scale. I don't know how to save the children in this land."

Hearing Xu Chu use the word "children" to describe the giants outside the door, the muscles on Fandral's face jumped, but then he said with a stiff smile, "In fact, your place is quite rich in resources. , if it can be shipped out, it can also earn a lot of credits. It's just a pity that transportation is a big problem that has stumped most agricultural and animal husbandry companies. Therefore, the food they ship out for a season can often only A small portion of the money is made, and the bulk goes to those Starfleets, or the energy companies.”

Wherever the energy goes is a problem, Xu Chu nodded understandingly.However, there was still a look of disappointment on his face.

Afterwards, he chatted casually with Fandral for a few more words, and then followed him to learn Interstellar Common Language.

In this state of two-way thinking link, learning is extremely efficient.He took Fandral around for a few days, and at the same time learned the language from Fandral with the help of Xiaoye. It didn't take long for the two of them to start to communicate without Xiaoye.

On this day, Xu Chu brought Fandral to their field, and while watching his little bugs diligently take care of the plants in the field, he talked to Fandral about interstellar agriculture.

Fandral didn't really know much about it.

He was born on a mining star, and then came to the capital star. The major he studied has nothing to do with agricultural planting, and he has never been exposed to agronomy.But when Xu Chu asked related questions, he didn't want the other party to think he was so ignorant.

After getting along during this period of time, he found that although the other party does not have the appearance of an intelligent life—even the robots that are the least like intelligent life, they still want to maintain their human form, so as to be affirmed by other beings.

But the person in front of him looks like a big jelly from the outside. After a period of contact, the other person has been getting along with him with a gentle and elegant attitude.Even when he was first captured, the other party didn't use any too drastic means to treat him.And even when there was a famine, they always entertained him with the best food.

So in his heart, he felt that Xu Chu was an alien intelligent life with a noble soul.

On the other hand, although the other party doesn't know much about the outside world, he owns a whole planet—yes, he now knows that Xu Chu is the owner of this planet.Then, in the law of the alliance, for a planet that is not included in the territory of the alliance, the owner identified by all life on the planet is its legal owner.

Then this means that the other party is equivalent to a planetary governor, and when he thinks that he is talking to a planetary governor, Fandral can't help but feel his heart beat faster and excited.

He tried every means to make a good impression on the other party, at least not to let him know that he was a loser from the alliance.So for every question Xu Chu asked, Fandral hoped that he could give a satisfactory answer to the other party, so as to leave a good impression on the other party.

So when he didn't know how to answer the question about agriculture, when he saw those giant beetles stretched out a sharp sickle, but used it to water a strong-smelling thing on the land.He froze for a moment before realizing what it was, and then he immediately changed the topic and started talking.

"Oh! I know what this is. But to be honest, your watering method is really a waste of resources. In our place, such organic waste can be directly recycled into nutrient solution. Directly watered on the land The efficiency of conversion into edible organic matter is too low, and it has been abandoned for a long time.”

Then, in a clever way, he began to talk endlessly, eloquently.

"You know, organic waste like the one you are using now, as long as it can be shipped out is a lot of credits! In the alliance, there is only that kind of industrially produced, non-degradable, but cannot be reused, and will Toxic substances that cause damage to the environment are considered real garbage. This kind of industrial waste, because there is no way to process and reuse it anyway, has to be piled up on an uninhabited planet that is not suitable for living , and such a planet is called a junk star."

"But even so, the fuel used to transport this waste alone is a headache for many large production giants. So sometimes they choose to pay a sum of money and hand over the waste to waste companies that specialize in this. And Those waste companies, in order to obtain more profits, will not choose distant unmanned planets according to the regulations, but bribe some officials to discharge nearby—anyway, or something like that." When he realized that the topic had really left Xu Chu When the question was far away, Fandral had no choice but to end the topic tactfully.

Xu Chu, who was lying on the ground and carefully inspecting a small spot on a plant, became thoughtful when he heard these words, then he turned his head to look at Fandral, and asked, "This kind of waste, is it on your spaceship?" Have it?"
