Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 41 Labor
The center of the galaxy, near the dying star.

The scientific research ship has entered the capture range of the entrance of the hyperspace channel. This is the gap between the channel and reality. From a macro point of view, it is higher and deeper than the dimension entered by Time Stop before.

The objects inside the channel cannot be disturbed by the outside world. They are temporarily safe, and everyone's hanging hearts have been put down.

In the cockpit of a scientific research ship, this is the strongest part of a starship, and it is also the place with the least damage.The huge space could have accommodated an entire scientific research team, but now, there are only two moving creatures.

The joystick on the co-pilot's seat is unmanned and moves on its own.Zuo Wu, who had nothing to do, regretted that the faint smell of blood in his mouth was about to dissipate, and he couldn't keep it any longer.

In the driver's seat, the petite AI is frowning.

After a long time, it gave up and muttered: "It is said that you humans can use expressions to empathize with the same kind. Why have I been showing off for so long, but no one cares about me? Are you right, Mr. Captain?"

"I'm the captain?"

"Who else is it if it's not you?" AI rolled his eyes: "Levina is your maid, and Aishanshan relies on you to make decisions. Of course, if you are willing to recall that I am the head of the colonial planet, I will also Very happy."

Zuo Wu shrugged: "Okay, so what are you frowning?"

"I'm worried that the starship that belongs to us is too damaged, and it may not be able to survive in the hyperspace channel," the AI ​​gasped: "Did you find it? The air is still leaking out, if the spare engine of the starship is not Keep producing oxygen, I think you will all be suffocated."

Serious indeed.When the chief arrived here in a hurry, the random deceleration already damaged the hull, but the gravity turbulence caused by the angel made it worse.

"Then let's go back?"

"how is this possible?!"

AI rolled its eyes, it has been observing the situation of the colony star.After the angel disappeared, the speed at which the golden light spread slowed down a bit, but it showed no sign of extinguishing at all.

Zuo Wu spread his hands: "By the way, since we can't go back, we might as well think about something fun. For example... Tell me about this starship?"

AI nodded, and his expression immediately became sly: "This time we are making a lot of money! Tech hunters' starships are full of treasures, and there are seventy or eighty kinds of engine light backups. They can be safe and sound in any strange environment. Sailing! It’s just too pragmatic and not aesthetically pleasing. There aren’t even a few air conditioners installed, otherwise the starship workers wouldn’t all be frozen to death.”

"...Ah, here." Zuo Wu just found out that there are laborers on the starship: "The laborers on the starship are still flesh and blood? I thought they were all mechanized a long time ago."

"This chief probably has dug too many graves, and has seen many relics of civilizations destroyed by machine servants out of control, so his trust in machines is quite limited." AI pointed to his immature face: "If it weren't for the chief and Our nomadic neighbor doesn't have much contact, otherwise, she would have captured some Tiyanki to be the main body of the starship,"

"Don't worry, I've packed all the corpses. It's up to you whether to burn them, throw them away or sell them later. The residue of psionic energy has also been cleaned up. There will never be ghosts,"

The AI ​​casually covered the topic: "I think, we can't sail for too long in the hyperspace channel at a time. We have to rest in this nearby safe galaxy. It's best to contact God; if we can't, we can only repair the star system on the spot. ship."

"Oh." Zuo Wu couldn't interrupt.

"But there is still one problem," the AI ​​knocked on the control panel of the starship: "It is obviously not enough to rely on the self-healing function of the starship for maintenance work. We still have to find some laborers who are obedient and obey management. It’s okay to work with flesh and blood, do you have any idea?”

The AI ​​injected into the chief's body was a pure program, and the massive data originally used for colony management was not brought out at all.Otherwise, there are countless kinds of blueprints for practical servitors.

Zuo Wu opened his mouth, what a coincidence, he really did.

Now, the research ship is infinitely close to the pulsar in the center of the galaxy.Zuo Wu naturally recalled the sight of its light reflecting in the eyes of an illegal insect queen.

At that time, he promised to record the queen's genetic information and clone her when the conditions were right, but he didn't expect that now was the opportunity.

Moreover, if the Struu people want to reproduce, they must rely on the flesh and blood of living beings as a breeding ground.Isn't this a coincidence?Didn't the starship just happen to have the corpses of a group of unlucky laborers?
It's just... what attitude should I use to treat the insects who are about to be reborn?To treat slaves like masters, or employers to employees, or... like daughters?
Zuo Wu pondered, yes, the ambition of the illegal queen was to resist the colony after all, maybe the gene of pursuing freedom has been engraved in their bones.If they are slaves or employees, sooner or later they will part ways, which will only add to the sadness.

But as a daughter, isn't it different?
Sooner or later, the daughter will rebel and go far away.But as an old father, he would never think that such a thing was a betrayal. On the contrary, he would only feel a little relief, right?
The daughter of the insect mother?So... great!

Great joy began to fill Zuo Wu's heart, he jumped up from the command ship, and happily wanted to discuss with Aishanshan and Levina.

……

Levina is no longer willing to wear a mechanical prosthetic arm. With a certain awakening of self-confidence in her heart, she always feels that her own hands are the best.

It would be very inconvenient if it wasn't for taking off the prosthetic foot, she really wanted to keep that one-armed-one-legged posture all the time.

Of course, she did not forget to fulfill her obligations as a maid.Although the starship is large, because the three of them visit frequently, there are not many places that need to be cleaned.

The boss should only stay in the main control room and the bedroom. The place the boss's wife likes should be to park the machine room such as the Mecha Creation.

The one-armed Levina hugged the vacuum cleaner under the armpit of her stump, humming and cleaning happily.Turned and turned around a certain silver-white creation, cleaning the surrounding spotless.

The silver-white creation is of course the ancient painting Qingkong, and it was brought together on the scientific research starship.

Because Bai Ace disappeared with the angel.

The silver-white creation fell into a sad silence for a long, long time.The sensory connection with the seeker through the soul-merging operation has become so weak at this moment.

The most, the most, can only confirm that Bai Ace has not died.

Its chest was torn open by the angel, and the circuits and gears flowed all over the place. Coupled with the low mood, it felt a little more desolate than the original illegal queen.

at this time.

Levina suddenly stopped what she was doing, and turned her head to say hello to Zuo Wu who came over happily: "Gui'an, boss. There is one thing I have to apologize for, that is, just now, when I looked at the lips of the boss lady, I actually wanted to kiss her." .But after all, I held back... So, don't punish me, okay?"

This begging for mercy was almost coquettish, Zuo Wu couldn't even put on airs, he nodded to deal with the matter, and then looked around: "Where's Aishan Shanren?"

"The proprietress was still here just now to repair the ancient painting lady, but she ran away when she found out that you were coming."

"...Huh? Why?"

Levina shook her head: "I don't know."

Zuo Wu clicked his tongue, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to the injured and depressed creature: "Speaking of which, the ancient painting Clear Sky also belongs to us?"

Levina lowered her voice: "I think it's about the same, provided that the one named Bai Aisi is not found. Boss, you shouldn't be able to see that the line of fate between him and you is still there, and I need to cut it off." ?"

Guhua Qingkong moved when he heard the words, but finally sat back in silence.

Zuo Wu thought about it again: "Forget it, this time we owe Bai Aisi a favor, and it would be best if he came back. Guhua Qingkong, Bai Aisi asked me to bring you with me before. We will talk about other things when he comes back. .”

The beautiful creation did not respond, and it was not until a long time later that it moved slightly to express its permission.

The elf leaned on the vacuum cleaner and looked up and down: "I heard that Ms. Gu Hua can suppress the colony AI and take over the work of the planet. Does it mean that it is better than that stinky AI? Also, does it have a dignified and pleasant voice, and is it also good-looking?"

Zuo Wu scratched his head, knowing that the AI ​​should be able to hear it, but silently agreed: "What do you want to say?"

"Boss, I think your queen... if there are two machine girls among your companions, the positioning will be somewhat repetitive. Wouldn't it be better to keep one who is both powerful and unique? That stinky AI doesn't even have a name."

Zuo Wu rubbed his cheek and squinted his eyes.

After a long time, he said with some uncertainty: "Levina, why do I think you are gradually becoming like that angel, starting to like to have fun?"

Just now there was a mess of busy sounds from inside the starship, obviously the AI ​​was a little flustered at the end of being possibly discarded.But Levina's eyes were full of spring-like joy when she heard the voice.

Hearing the words, the elf just blinked: "How could it be! I was really thinking about it... Huh? How could it be? How could it be?"

Levina lowered her head and bit her index finger with silver teeth.The awakening of blood makes him start to approach angels?
Recalling how they were having fun, a strong sense of crisis rose up.
