Extra 4: Desolate Star Farming Daily - This article is grateful for the life like water
"Still no response?" Lu Chixiao asked the child's mother calmly.
"Well, do you think it could be due to a strong magnetic field, like the one in the isolated island where my dad was trapped? That caused the network to malfunction?"
Xu Suizhu frowned and looked at the unresponsive main control screen.
Their spacecraft had just experienced a chaotic large meteorite formation. After coming out, they found that the main control system had lost its signal and the autonomous cruise function had not been restored yet.
Although the spacecraft is still flying smoothly now, if it cannot recover for a long time, it will be too difficult to rely on human power to navigate the universe densely populated with stars. From time to time, a meteorite or asteroid will appear, and it will be too late to turn around.
"Don't tell the children yet, lest they worry. Let's think of a solution later."
Xu Suizhu called up the lottery system and wanted to see if he could contact Qi Heng, but it seemed that the entire Star Network was affected, and the Star Forum and live broadcast room repeatedly failed to connect to the Internet.
The only thing that is lit is the star route system that can be used without relying on the star network. It is densely packed with host planets in the surrounding galaxies. The ones that are lit like candlelight are the host planets, and the dark ones are those that have not yet met a buyer.
The desolate star.
Just like on Earth, when you cross from one province to another, you will receive a greeting text message from the local tourism bureau or telecommunications company.
The same goes for the star route system. After collecting the taxes paid by the host star, you must do something practical. Turn on the light to remind passing ships: Please leave quietly along the route. Do not log in to the host star at will, otherwise you will be expelled as a star thief.
route.
Three items in a row made it impossible for them to ignore it.
Outside the route are all large and small meteorite formations with no rules. If they are really driven away, it will be even more troublesome.
"How about finding an unowned planet suitable for survival and landing? If we continue flying, I'm worried that the energy will be insufficient."
Xu Suizhu weighed the energy reserves, as well as the materials stored in the spacecraft's material cabin and package compartments, and felt that it would be more reliable to find a place to land and wait for rescue.
"It may not be possible to find an unowned star suitable for human habitation at the moment. Let's take a closer look, maybe you will know someone...Didn't the Qi Heng brothers buy a few remote desolate stars? Is it possible that in this orbit..." Lu Chixiao said on the side
Staring at the situation outside the spacecraft, he came up with ideas.
"This is on the eighth orbit...ah! I remembered it!" Xu Suizhu slapped his thigh, his voice almost breaking with surprise, "I have a small primitive planet that seems to be right here. Do you remember it? It was drawn in a lottery a long time ago.
It arrived. Actually, my uncle bought it as a gift for me. He bought many small planets like this. I remember that mine is in the eighth orbit. Wait, let me take a look..."
A few minutes later, it was confirmed that her private little planet was indeed in this orbit.
This is easy to handle!
Lu Chixiao entered the coordinates of this desolate star that belonged entirely to her into the star route system according to the numbers reported by his wife.
[500 stars away from the target, three feasible routes were found. Do you want to choose the best route? 】
The star route system finally gave prompts other than warnings.
The couple cried with joy.
"yes!"
[The best route has been selected, do you want to speed up?]
"yes!"
[Received. The spacecraft is accelerating, and the arrival time will be given later. ]
Hearing this sentence, Xu Suizhu slumped down in the safety chair: "I was scared to death. I almost thought I was going to explain it here."
Lu Chixiao reached out and rubbed her head: "No matter what, we are together."
"I regret bringing my daughter and son-in-law here. Alas, if I had known that interstellar travel was so dangerous, I might as well have spent my old age peacefully on Jupiter."
The earth cannot go back no matter what. Their years have become ancestors on the earth.
Although at that time, with the development of medical technology, the life span of people on earth had generally been extended to 120+ years, and those who were well maintained could live to 150 years old, which was the same as living to 100 years old at the turn of the millennium. It was rare but not unusual.
But if you are over 150 and you are still healthy, free from illness and pain, and do not look old at all, that would be strange. You might even be targeted by some institutions that are fond of human experiments.
So, after bidding farewell to the old man and his parents, Xu Suizhu and his wife decided to leave the earth and go on an interstellar journey.
Their life is complete enough. If they can have such a trip, it will be a worthwhile trip in this world.
Originally, only the couple was involved in this plan. Unexpectedly, after learning about it, the daughter was worried about them and came with her son-in-law.
As for the other children, although the older two have retired from the scientific research unit, they still have teaching and research duties at Fjord University. While their physical conditions are still good, they want to cultivate a few more talented students for the country.
Zhuan Zhuan and his wife are both food lovers. When they got married, they traveled around the world. After they had a child, they took their children to run away together. It is rare to see them back unless it is the Chinese New Year or the birthday of Xu Suizhu and his wife.
.
However, specialties and delicacies from all over the world are packaged and sent from time to time. There is no end to the food, and the unused ones are stuffed by Xu Suizhu into the expanding compartments of the package.
Nowadays, optical-brain terminals produced by China are also used abroad. The earth has become a veritable global village. Optical-brain communication can be achieved no matter where it is. VIP users can also use holographic cabins to log in to the virtual city of the optical-brain world.
Relatives and friends separated by oceans reunited.
The children all have their own lives, and Xu Suizhu and Baozi decided not to disturb them. They only told their daughter the travel plan. Apart from being reluctant to part with it, they also asked her to hand over some things at home to her brothers.
As a result, after the things were handed over, people came with her. Not only did she come by herself, but her son-in-law also came, saying she was worried if she didn't follow.
Fortunately, my grandson and granddaughter have already started a family and have their own happy family. My daughter and son-in-law have nothing to do after they retire. You can follow them if you want.
They drove the latest spacecraft donated by Qi Heng and first went to the Federation Galaxy to visit their interstellar relatives. After leaving behind a bunch of earth's specialties, they lived on Planet Aquamarine and Jupiter for a while respectively.
On Aquamarine, they saw a long-lost blessing. The little turtles that could once be held in the palm of their hands had grown into majestic giant turtles, leading the giant turtle clan.
Fuqing obviously still remembered them, and took them to visit Aquamarine Star, deep into the deep sea area occupied by the Giant Turtle Clan, and dug up a lot of mutant beads for them.
Red, blue, black, purple, colorful...
Xu Suizhu looked at the piles of mutated pearls that Fortune had given them, and then looked at the few scattered ones he had stored in the parcel compartment like treasures... He felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Later, when I stayed in Senmuxing, I heard from a long-lived elder of the Mu tribe that the reagent made by combining the colorful pearl powder and the extract of a ginseng-like plant in Senmuxing can prolong life.
Xu Suizhu picked out the colorful mutant beads and kept a few good ones for emergencies. The rest were given to Uncle Xing to make reagents for the elders in the family.
Even though the average life span of interstellar people has reached over 200 years, they still desire and pursue longevity.
Mu Cen Shen didn't show any pretense and accepted the pearl. He then upgraded his niece's lottery system, expanded the inventory types, and replenished the inventory. After the longevity reagent came out, her family would not be left behind.
And he was worried that she would be reluctant to take it, so he made a health soup with longevity reagent added at the celebration banquet.
Xu Suizhu thought it tasted good and drank a few more bowls. When she returned to her residence, Qi Heng stuffed her with another orange-red juice-flavored reagent, saying it was for consumption.
It was several days later when he found out that he had taken at least two longevity reagents that day, and Qi Hui accidentally revealed it.
Life span suddenly increased from 150+ to 250+, or even longer, which suddenly made people feel like they were doing nothing.
If your life span is so long, what can you do?
Travel around the universe!
Just like that, a family of four plus a dog and a cat took a stroll around the universe in a Xingyu brand luxury spaceship.
The dog's name is Beta, a descendant of the Hei family. He is smart and smart. He was picked up by Xiaoyu when he was a child to keep them company in their old age.
The cat's name is Shu Ke, a cub born to the eldest granddaughter's folded-eared cat. It has been six or seven years since the full moon was held in her arms. It is the age of a cat, but it eats well and does not like to move. It is as fat as a cat.
A walking ball.
Beta pulls, Shu Ke is lazy, bringing them countless laughter along the way.
But when I thought about landing on the primitive planet, I couldn't help but regret taking them out.
"If the oxygen on the planet is thin, we have protective suits that can last for a while. What should Beta and Shuke do? We can't just let them sleep all the time, right?"
After a pause, he started to worry about the situation he was going to face next: "The Federation Stars have always called such a planet a desolate planet. Isn't it really a desolate planet?"
Lu Chixiao joked: "Why are you panic? Don't you have construction robots? People from countries with strong infrastructure construction are still afraid of opening up wasteland to build roads? They can turn wasteland into a manor in minutes."
"..."
How long had it been, and he was still in the mood to joke, so Xu Suizhu was convinced by him.
At this time, no one thought that they would really have to colonize this primitive small planet with no human habitation and lack of supplies, and survive in the barren land until the Star Alliance rescue team arrived...
At this moment, they had just landed on the small planet, and Xu Suizhu immediately looked at the data fed back by the monitoring system: the oxygen content of the planet's atmosphere reached 30%, which was nearly 50% higher than that of the earth.
"It is close to the prehistoric civilization period, which shows that not only can humans survive, but the air quality is also quite good." Xu Suizhu found joy in the pain.
"Mom, does the spacecraft have insufficient energy to carry us back? What do we need to do?" Lu Jiazhen had already heard from her husband. It seemed that there was something wrong with the spacecraft and she had to settle on the small planet in the name of her mother-in-law.
"It's not that the energy is insufficient, it's that the control system is unresponsive. I guess it was interfered by the magnetic field when passing by the meteorite formation. Let's find a place to settle first, and then send out the rescue message. The rescue team will come to pick us up immediately after receiving the message.
Going back."
"No, the situation is not that optimistic." Lu Chixiao suddenly frowned, "Look, this is the request for help I sent after discovering the fault in the main control room. So far, it has only made this little progress. At this rate, when the transmission is successful,
It could take several years."
"several years?"
The other three looked at each other in disbelief.
"Why is it taking so long?"
"This is still the case if the transmission is successful. If it is not successful..." I am afraid that I will have to fend for myself on this planet, right?
"..."
“How long do we have enough supplies to last?”
"One year will definitely be fine, but two or three years may be a bit of a stretch..."
Lu Chixiao made a prompt decision: "First find a place to camp, and then drive the construction robot to open up wasteland, farm land, and build houses!"
