Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

Xuanmen fulfilled its promise to William. Although there were not many people on Hope, Xuanmen still used his influence and paid some price to come to a planet for the people on Hope. After careful consideration, William and others joined the Grand Federation as members of the Federation.

Hearing that Lan Yi said that William and Smith were coming to visit, Lin Shu was a little surprised. The two hadn't seen each other for a year or two, so why would they suddenly remember to visit him? I'm afraid they would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Lin Shu is very idle today, and after finally taking it easy, Lin Shu feels a little itchy all over, it seems that people cannot be idle.Hearing that an old friend came to Lin Shu, he happily agreed to the meeting. By the way, he also made a divination and found that it was a good thing to visit, which is quite interesting.

Lin Shu asked Suzanne to invite Aurier over. All these years, Aurier had been working on the Little Asterisk 'Spaceship'. She had already regarded this place as her home. Unlike other survivors, she preferred Life wandering in the universe.

Lin Shu and Ao Lier went to the hangar on the uppermost floor of the spaceship, where a large ultra-long-range teleportation array was set up. When Au Lier heard that an old friend was coming, she put down her work and happily came to greet her.

Naturally, everyone was very happy when they met, and they said goodbye to each other. Lin Shu invited the two old friends to the reception room for tea, and then slowly asked about the reason for their visit.

It turned out that the two of them really came to deliver good things.

Since most of the population has been transferred to live on the planet, the Hope is now a tasteless one. If no one maintains it, the Hope will be damaged and scrapped soon.However, a large number of personnel were sent to maintain the Hope.William was a little helpless.In the end, Smith put forward a suggestion to transfer the management authority of Hope to Xuanmen and use it as a support center for Xuanmen's upcoming space exploration. On the one hand, it can continue to play the role of Hope and maintain the state of Hope. On the other hand, you can also get some benefits from space exploration.

William could see that Smith actually wanted to command Hope.He doesn't want Nozomi to stay in low-earth orbit from now on and use it as an artificial satellite. This is definitely a humiliation for Nozomi. Nozomi is a great space city, and its destiny is to be in the depths of the universe. .

"Master Lin, you are laughing at me. We hope you can fulfill our small thoughts."

Lin Shu smiled and shook his head: "Mr. William, I just like your straightforwardness. I think your request is very reasonable and appropriate. So far, the Hope is the most advanced and largest spaceship in the existing civilization. If it is true It’s really a shame to use it as a low-Earth orbit vehicle, and I can understand the two of you’s feelings for the Nozomi.”

"So, head Lin agreed to our request?"

"Hehe...why not? This is something that is beneficial to both parties. With Hope as a logistics base, the risk of space exploration will be greatly reduced, and the adaptability will be greatly improved. No matter how you look at it, it is Good thing, why should I refuse?"

William breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled easily: "That's good, that's good! The destination of the Hope is in the universe, and I also hope that one day, the Hope can take us back to the core of the galaxy and look for us. The Origins of Civilization."

Lin Shu nodded, looked at Smith and said, "Mr. William wants to leave Hope?"

William nodded with emotion: "I am old and have no ambitions. I hope that I can spend my last time on the planet. Watching my people live peacefully, I feel that this life is worth it." .”

Lin Shu smiled sincerely, nodded and said, "People will remember everything that Mr. William has done for the Hope and the compatriots on the Hope. In the future, you will be a legend."

William smiled and waved his hands: "This is not an extravagant request, but Smith is still young, and I think he is the best candidate to take over as the captain of the Hope."

Lin Shu turned to Smith, and Smith looked at Lin Shu expectantly.

"Mr. Smith, you've already made your decision? Now that you're gone, maybe when you can come back?"

"Master Lin, I have already made my decision. I feel that my fate is connected with the Hope. Unlike William, I hope that I can spend all the rest of my time on the Hope."

Lin Shu suddenly remembered the spaceship placed in the green stardust environment, and the captain who sealed himself in the crystal forever, so he looked at Smith seriously, and then stretched out his hand: "Welcome Join, Captain Smith."

Smith stood up excitedly, stretched out his hand and held Lin Shu's palm tightly, his eyes were full of joy and satisfaction.

......

The Hope is gathering towards the starting point, and Lin Shu and others have also found new jobs, which is to comprehensively transform the Hope, especially Xiao Yu who has been invited to the Hope as the person in charge of the data intelligence of the Hope, and then came together , and Xiaoyu's large number of puppets, these puppets are just like ducks in water on the Hope, and they just supplement the shortage of maintenance and operation personnel on the Hope.

The arrival of Xiaoyu greatly simplifies the operation difficulty of Hope, greatly improves the management level and efficiency of Hope, not only makes Hope into a complete and efficient logistics center, but also an efficient data and information management In the processing center, Smith and Xiaoyu cooperated for a while before discovering that at this time, the Nozomi Hope really displayed its full capabilities.

And Lin Shu, his wife, and disciples are busy using the self-derived formation method to massively modify the structural strength of Hope, the efficiency and safety of each subsystem function area, especially the replacement of the external metal materials, which will greatly improve the efficiency and safety of the damaged ants. After the metal collected from the nest was re-smelted and replaced, the disaster resistance and flight capabilities of the Nozomi were greatly improved, and at the same time, the Nozomi was truly equipped with the ability to fly in deep subspace. The space speed of the upper star beast.

The news that Xuanmen has taken over the Nozomi Space City and will take Nozomi to participate in the upcoming new round of space exploration activities spreads quickly in the four countries. At the same time, there is also news that Nozomi is recruiting expedition members information.

Because the Nozomi Hope is very large.This time, more people will be able to participate in the expedition.The entire spiral arm civilization system has a population of hundreds of billions.It is not difficult at all to recruit tens of millions of adventurous people. In fact, various countries, research institutions, and representatives of various races, as well as some aristocratic families, businessmen, and more young people who are full of hope for the future People all want to squeeze into the Hope.

As a result, Lin Shu had to go through some screening, and finally scheduled to receive 1000 people with two million places.This is a huge number. With these people, the expedition team is a self-sustaining expedition team that does not need to return. It can even become the fire to spread civilization and spread civilization from the spiral arm to the interior of the galaxy.

......

Hope's data center, this is the place with the strictest access control on the Hope, or in other words, it should be a place where no one can enter except Smith and the upper floor of Xuanmen. This is Xiaoyu's territory.

The body condensed by Xiao Yu already has texture.This is all thanks to Nilaya, who swayed beside her.It is a white ball of fluff. These two have become good friends since they met. The bands of the two are surprisingly consistent. Their most enthusiastic thing is also reading and analyzing various materials, and then making puppets. Of course, Mao Qiu firmly believes that the star ant clan he created can only be regarded as a kind of puppet.

Fuqiu imparted her experience to Xiaoyu without reservation, and together with Xiaoyu crazily improved her toys, so a kind of puppet made of double-based life forms appeared, except for lacking a real brain, this puppet This combat tool is really powerful, inheriting the strength and discipline of the star ants, and at the same time improving some of the shortcomings of the star ants.

However, the biggest weakness is still the communication and command system. The two little guys have tried their best to solve this problem. The result of their seeking help from Lin Shu and Nilaya is that unless a truly high-IQ group is formed, this weakness will There is no way to completely solve it.

Xiaoyu didn't give up, so she and Maoqiu secretly plotted to revive the Star Ant Clan. Of course, they changed their name, because they have high IQ, it is definitely not suitable to be called the Star Ant Clan, so they should be called the Rain Spirit Clan. As for why it is called For the Rain Spirit Clan, it was because Mao Qiu was relatively honest and was deceived by Xiao Yu.

However, Xiaoyu also has plausible arguments for this. If it is not called the Rain Spirit Clan, is it called the Maoling Clan or the Furball Clan?With one sentence, Lin Shu who laughed at her was blocked back.

Lin Shu was facing away from the two whispering little guys, busy checking the information listed in the database, don’t think that Lin Shu doesn’t do anything, these people who are about to board the ship, Lin Shu is very serious about the review, if you want this space ship If there are as few messy things in the city as possible in the future, we have to spend some time on work first.

"I said, have you two finished discussing, can you finish the business first and then discuss the matter of your Rain Spirit Clan, there is always a priority."

Xiao Yu giggled and climbed onto Lin Shu's shoulder, biting Lin Shu's ear and said, "Obey, Master!"

"Yes, master, but we have reviewed all these personnel, do you want to do it again?"

"You can't just look at the surface of the data, hairballs, people's hearts are very complicated, you have to understand their emotions, we don't need those guys who are emotionally unstable."

"Emotion? Does that... make sense? It always changes."

"Of course it makes sense. The characteristic of intelligent life is perceptual. If it is purely rational, it is not life, it can only be regarded as intelligence."

Maoqiu didn't quite understand, so he didn't speak for a long time, while Xiaoyu started to work muttering. Maoqiu also followed suit, opened hundreds of materials at once, and then screened out the unqualified according to Xiaoyu and Linshu's indicating characteristics candidates.

The data center became quiet, and after an unknown amount of time, Lin Shu finally turned off the data projection in front of him, stretched vigorously, and suddenly looked at Mao Qiu and asked, "Mai Qiu, if we capture a star ant Lair, are you willing to carry out your plan with Xiaoyu?"

"This... can be done!"

"In that case, you will have to separate, is that okay?"

"This..."

"Hehe, do you feel reluctant? This is emotion. With emotion, life is fresh and precious."

Lin Shu looked deeply at the pensive Mao Qiu and Xiao Yu, who was also somewhat tangled, and said slowly. (to be continued..)
