The formation of the Galactic Empire went through three important periods.
The first is the "Great Annihilation Period". The explosion of the sun caused a chain reaction of explosions in the entire galaxy. After the mother planet Earth suffered a series of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite falls, the atmosphere was destroyed and it entered a long ice age.
The second is the "Great Migration Period". After the 500-year-long "Great Annihilation Period", the surviving humans on Earth finally broke through the shackles of the Earth, mastered the wormhole jump technology, and migrated to other galaxies to find a new home. It took our ancestors 300 years to finally find a new galaxy where they could settle down permanently.
The third is the "Great Explosion Period", when humans entered the interstellar age and not only found a new home but also discovered other intelligent creatures.
Humans, as well as animals that mutated during the Great Migration, namely the earliest Bis people, united with other intelligent species to establish the first Galactic Empire. With the concerted efforts of all races, the Galactic Empire entered a prosperous "era of explosion".
Among them, Ymir, the dragon clan, the mermaid clan, and the nine-tailed fox clan contributed the most.
If the Ymir are natural leaders, then the Dragons are natural warriors.
The dragon race originally lived on the remote planet Luxor, which is located in the northeast region of Syracuse. The environment on Luxor is harsh and most of the planet is covered by active volcanoes. Flowing lava and fire clouds are the most common sights on Luxor.
However, the extremely harsh climate also allows the dragons living there to develop strong physiques and combat capabilities.
That is to say, in recent years, with the change of concepts, many dragons have become disgusted with the harsh environment of Luxor and have immigrated to Sikkim. Luxor has become the private treasury of the dragons, and an endless stream of resource development teams have moved in to dig treasures under the lava for the dragons.
Only when they need to breed cubs will the dragons return to Luxor and use the high temperature of the active volcanoes to incubate them.
However, because most dragons have chaotic private lives and no racial prejudice, cross-species matings often occur, resulting in their offspring often being of strange species. The number of dragons that can actually lay dragon eggs and need to return to Luxor to incubate them is decreasing.
Some unscrupulous dragons are unable to lay their own eggs, and will even steal or rob other people's eggs to hatch them.
Such a precious dragon egg that has been dormant for nearly a hundred years is very likely to attract competition among dragons.
Rong Heng clicked his tongue and pushed the troublesome egg with his paw in disgust.
Fortunately, the conditions are not sufficient now and hatching is impossible.
Otherwise, if a dragon cub really hatched, those irritable and brainless dragons would not be grateful to Ruan Shiqing when they got the news. They might even think he was an egg thief.
After asking Noah to delete the records on the intelligent computer and analyzer, Rong Heng pushed the troublesome dragon egg off the workbench with one claw, and then pushed it with his front paws, preparing to find a place to hide it first.
Wait until the person who is supposed to pick him up arrives, and then ask him to send this trouble away.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really worried about this family.
Unfortunately, the head of the family did not appreciate it.
Ruan Shiqing, who came over to check after hearing the sound of something falling, happened to witness the puppy stealing the eggs. He picked up the metal ball and shook his head at the puppy: "You can't play with this, Dad still has a use for it."
He looked at the workbench and took a deep breath. It was so heavy, he didn't know how the bastard had pushed it down.
Rong Heng looked at the shuttle racing car with six more air guides in the yard, and then looked at Ruan Shiqing: "..."
Could it be that this daring ancient human wanted to melt the dragon eggs as well
Although dragons are not very smart, they have very sensitive noses and they hold grudges.
There is no need to make enemies with the dragon clan just for an egg.
He looked at Ruan Shiqing steadily and said unhappily: I am saving you, don't be ungrateful.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had apparently forgotten that he was still in the form of a cub, and the ancient humans could not understand the cries of the cub.
Ruan Shiqing understood that the puppy was unhappy because he took away the new toy.
He could only try to reason again: "This is heavy and will hit you."
“Awooooooooo!”
However, it is impossible to reason with a puppy. The puppy keeps howling as if it is going to make trouble if you don't give it to me.
"… "
The doting father finally compromised. He placed the metal ball in front of Rong Heng and tapped his wet nose: "You can only play for a while, understand?"
Rong Heng glanced at him with dissatisfaction and ran away with the egg.
Ruan Shiqing was left looking at his figure, frowning and muttering: How can such a small creature have such great strength
Could it be that interstellar puppies are different from ordinary puppies
Rong Heng didn't hear his mumbling. After pushing the dragon egg around for a while, he decided to hide it in the cold storage.
The temperature in the refrigerator is low, which is not a good place for dragon eggs that need high temperature to hatch. Once the dragon eggs sense the environmental changes, they will continue to sleep, so there is no need to worry about accidents.
While there was no one in the kitchen, Rong Heng switched into human form and slipped into the cold storage room.
The cold storage room was not small, about ten square meters, half of which was used to store food, and the other half was empty, with a few boxes randomly stacked in the corner.
Rong Heng placed the dragon egg in the box in the corner, and stacked the remaining boxes on top, then left with satisfaction.
In the yard, Ruan Shiqing and Xiong Yuanyuan had already installed the air shroud and other old parts that needed to be replaced.
The remaining work is to optimize the fuel distribution path of the shuttle racing car according to the previous concept, install a fuel igniter, add a hydraulic system, rear-view sensor, and modify the computer system to add an engine reading function.
After modification and upgrading, these accessories and functions can improve the stability and flight speed of the shuttle racing car. At the same time, auxiliary functions such as hydraulic systems, rear-view sensors, and engine reading functions can enable ancient humans to better control the racing car, making up for the species' inherent disadvantages in physical fitness.
However, the remaining tasks were all delicate work, and Xiong Yuanyuan and the others could not help, so they had to do them themselves.
There was still a week left before the competition, so Ruan Shiqing was not in a hurry. He looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he ended his work for the day early.
Xiong Yuanyuan was about to go home, but Ruan Shiqing kept her back: "You don't want the wages, but you still have to eat dinner."
He asked Xiong Yuanyuan to wait for a while, and went to the kitchen refrigerator to get ten tubes of nutrition. Without waiting for Xiong Yuanyuan to refuse, he continued: "The modification of the shuttle racing car is almost complete. I plan to drive it out in a few days to test it and find out the flaws. When the time comes, I need you and Xiong Fangfang to accompany me."
This time, I don’t want to drive it leisurely like I did the day I just got back, but I want to test the limits of the shuttle racing car.
He remembered that Xiong Yuanyuan had said before that they had driven a podracer before.
Although he was confident in the racing car he had modified himself, it would always be safer to call on two people as an extra layer of protection.
After hearing what he said, Xiong Yuanyuan took the nutrient solution and happily agreed.
After seeing off Xiong Yuanyuan, Ruan Shiqing changed out of his work clothes and took a shower. When he came out, he went to the kitchen to get the nutrition supplement, but he saw a shadow flash by the window. He went forward to check, but only saw a red afterimage.
He didn't know if he was being overly suspicious, but he always felt that the shadow looked a bit like the nine-tailed fox cub at the auction.
As he was lost in thought, he noticed out of the corner of his eye a fuel lighter placed on the windowsill.
The lighter was about 60% new and was placed on the windowsill.
This is not a valuable part. Ruan Shiqing has a pile of them in his workshop, but this one obviously does not belong to the pile in his workshop.
Ruan Shiqing couldn't help but think of the red figure that left in a hurry.
He thought for a while, took away the lighter and replaced it with three tubes of nutrient solution.
After a pause, he found a pen and wrote "This is a thank you gift" on the tube of the nutritional supplement.
After that, he left the kitchen with the nutrient solution, and specifically told 09, who had just built a small pool, not to close the kitchen window.
Nota hid in the lush vines and saw from afar a young man leaning on the window with his hands and looking out. Then the man saw the lighter on the windowsill and took it away.
Seeing this, she wagged her tail happily, shuttled through the lush vines, and returned to her "new home."
Ever since she encountered the strange man who let her go in the kitchen last time, she thought about it and decided to move her "home" near this house.
Although the man's aura was terrifying, he had never hurt her, so she intuitively felt that this place was safe.
She has lived here for four days.
She usually hides under the vines, and only comes out during the day when there are few people around, or at night. When she runs out of stored food, she goes to a nearby repair shop to find food. Most repair shops are relatively wealthy, and she can always find half a tube or a tube of nutrients every time she goes there. Occasionally, she will meet a wealthy family, but she will not take too much. In this way, the owner will generally not notice that the food has become less, and will not increase the defense of the house.
She has her own set of experience with this kind of wandering life.
But after the first time, she never visited this largest house again.
But sometimes, when he couldn't go out, he would hide in the dark and watch this family from afar.
She knew that the young man just now was the owner of this family. He raised a disfigured mermaid cub, a golden robot, and the terrible man who had saved her but liked to disguise himself as a cub.
He must be a very good-tempered person, he always smiles, and his expression is very gentle when taking care of the cub. Even though the mermaid he took care of was disfigured and much uglier than her, he was still very gentle.
Once she bravely approached and heard the other party praising the little mermaid.
Nota had never felt such tenderness before. When she was wandering alone on the planet Tutar, many people she met looked at her with disgust and contempt.
As far as she can remember, even her biological parents were like this.
No one would be so gentle to her.
Lying on the cold and hard ground, Nota curled up and hugged his tail, thinking a little enviously, it would be great if someone could be so gentle to me.
She lowered her head and rubbed her tail, feeling a little unconvinced, even though everyone on Tutar said she was ugly.
But she thought her red tail was also very beautiful.
If no one likes her, then she should just like herself.
