The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 235: Gate of the world

Views:

Under the guidance of Kuiper Station's bright outbound guiding light beam, the patrol ship Juguiyantai left the star port smoothly and quickly, and now it is leaving the masked area of this civilian port at high speed. After Hao Ren turned on the autopilot, he had nothing to do with himself, so he went to another console and switched the display modes around the bridge. The holographic image that originally displayed various parameters and broadcast information from the space station quickly faded away. The alloy armor plate in front seems to become transparent to present the real scene in the outer space: there is only a vast darkness all around, the stars are shining in the distance ahead, and the fast-moving space station building is on the lower side of the screen—the spaceship is adjusting its orientation.

Lily would fiddle with the seat and the unidentified equipment next to it, jump off the seat and circle around, stare at the starry sky outside and sigh, enjoying the boundless joy in the limited space, Anyway, the host of the spaceship has intelligently locked all the key control panels, and no one else can control any equipment here except the captain, so Hao Ren just let this Erha run around. Vivienne looked at the distant stars and sighed: "A long time ago, I yearned for the starry sky... Let me tell you, I almost hung myself on an American rocket and wanted to go to outer space to see the stars. What is it like, I never thought... today this dream has come true."

Hao Ren looked at Vivienne curiously: "You are really a strange person, do other vampires dream of going to space like you?"

"Most of them are idiots, sick and short-sighted," said Vivian, making no secret of her disdain for most of her kind. "I only know how to pursue my own strength all day long. Or I was drunk and dreamed in those troublesome banquets and etiquettes. No one looked up and paid attention to the space. It's a big world outside. I don't know why. Anyway, I just yearn for the stars. You humans also yearn for the ability to travel among the stars... Maybe it's because my wings are bigger than others?"

Hilda was sitting next to Vivienne, and her face was obviously a little dark when she heard the topic about the starry sky, but no one around her noticed.

Lily stayed on the bridge for a while and couldn't stay any longer. After inquiring which areas she could operate on the spaceship, she asked Hao Ren for a map and rushed out, saying that she wanted to explore this high-tech gadget. Izaks watched Lily run out worriedly. Fang Xiang said to Hao Ren: "It's okay to let her run around like this? This is not a place to play around..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Hao Ren has already experienced these crazy high-tech. He has full confidence in the intelligence of the ship's host computer and data terminal, and he firmly believes that this spaceship can provide any passenger with a 100% free environment. "All key parts are protected, and there are squid-like autonomous machines patrolling the spaceship. If Lily just runs around, she won't be able to break things."

Y'zaks shrugged. "Sometimes you get too used to her."

"Nonsense. Whether a creature like a husky is used to it or not, that's the kind of virtue, okay?"

At this time, the gate at the entrance of the bridge made a soft chirping sound. Lily ran around somewhere and came back, and the girl had changed clothes, so she didn't know where she came from. It was a uniform with a white base, blue trim, and light gray decorative patterns, and it was a men's uniform that was obviously one size larger than Lily's entire body. The husky can't even stretch out his hands in this suit. His trousers dragged on the floor when he walked. It looked funny and cheerful, but she was still in high spirits: "Landlord, do you think I look like a female captain..."

Hao Ren was stunned: "Where did you find this suit?"

"I don't know!" Lily ran over, grabbing the waistband of the oversized uniform, "I met a robot squid at the crossroads that was cleaning the ground, and asked it if there was a handsome aviation suit on the spaceship, and then It brought me this..."

The data terminal was enjoying the joy of commanding a starship in the card slot. At this time, it was lazily distracted and explained to Hao Ren: "It's your captain's uniform. There are more than two hundred sets in the warehouse, because it's not Any important supplies can be collected by anyone with visitor authority."

Hao Ren nodded before realizing: "What do you mean by more than two hundred sets?!"

The data terminal replied without hesitation: "It will allow you to wear it until you die."

At this time, Lily was still jumping up and down happily, fiddled with Vivienne in her new clothes: "Do you think he's handsome? Do you think he's handsome?"

Vivian turned her face away and ignored this bastard. Hao Ren looked at Lily's actions with emotion: He vaguely remembered that when he saw the animated version of Battlestar for the first time when he was in elementary school, he was like Lily for a while, yearning for such a starship uniform that was either silly or auspicious. Imagine yourself as a spaceship repairman or a captain or a fighter pilot or something else that could appear on the main cast - all in all Lily is such a sweet and innocent girl...

Lily made a fuss for a while and then calmed down, lying on the seat to look at the stars, but soon she had no more stars to look at: the spaceship had completely left the celestial body dense zone, and now switched to superluminal cruise mode, the starlight on the external real scene was distorted for a while , and then quickly formed the bizarre tubular channel when the redshift-blueshift phenomenon occurred. With the humming of some equipment deep in the spacecraft, the space around the spacecraft was finally completely closed, and the distorted starlight disappeared. The next was pitch black.

"The next stop is the gate of the world, and it won't take long." The voice of the data terminal came to everyone's ears through the bridge broadcast.

Lily lay on the seat in a daze for a while, and suddenly reached out to Hao Ren: "Landlord, is there anything like a laptop?"

"Just install a plug-in on the console in front of you," Hao Ren gave Lily a strange look, "but what do you need a laptop for?"

"I'm feeling emotional and want to write something," Lili said with a serious face, "I still owe the magazine an invitation to write."

Hao Ren asked the data terminal to switch the console in front of Lily to the corresponding mode, and muttered with a strange expression: "Why do I feel so wrong when you say you want to write something..."

From the moment Lily boarded the spaceship, she was like... don't be like that, she is a husky and needs any additional adjectives, anyway, her image doesn't look like a literati, but Lily herself doesn't Thinking so, she put on an oversized uniform and nestled in a larger seat, began to outline her words with a serious expression, and at the same time argued with Hao Ren: "Landlord, you judge people by their appearance. , don’t you know that those who really settle down to writing are more or less crazy? Those who have to burn incense and listen to a light music before writing are pretending to write with old Shanghai pens. That’s true. If you can’t sell an article, you can only package yourself as a performance art and go to schools around the world to participate in conferences to earn appearance fees. The real text should come from the true temperament. Only by maintaining a free heart can you write a smart article. I Only indulging in one's heart can maintain one's vigorous creation... "

Vivienne couldn't stand it anymore, and rapped on the armrest of the seat: "Can you stop being so pretentious when you write a dog column for a pet magazine?"

Hao Ren: "..."

Lily immediately frowned: "Who said I can only write a column about raising dogs! Back in the Republic of China, I also wrote lyrical and progressive articles! I just started to find out that people who raise dogs are more and more willing to write in the past two years. Writers for pet magazines…”

This voyage did not take much time, because the route is very direct, that is, the Kuiper station goes directly to the gate of the world, while Lily is busy analyzing several newly launched dog food brands in her article which tastes better The spaceship arrived at its destination.

The gate of the world, a unique facility built by the Xiling gods, as the name suggests, is a gate for traveling to other worlds. Different from space jumping in this universe, jumping from one universe to another has extremely high technical requirements: the two universes are often different in terms of basic rules, and some worlds do not even have the four fundamental forces—they Relying on other rules to maintain the entire universe, coupled with the endless void between universes is also a natural barrier for most mortal races, so cross-world navigation is unattainable for most civilizations. The apostles of Xiling have the ability to travel across the world, so in order to facilitate the management of the macro world, and to facilitate the exchange of needs among the many civilizations under their rule, they built this kind of "world gate" in each universe of the macro world. "Magnificent facility.

There are two kinds of world gates, one is built on the surface of the planet for small-scale personnel movement, and the other is a huge device built in space, which can allow the entire fleet or even the entire planet to jump into other universes. What Hao Ren arrived at now is the second gate of the world.

When the warped space outside the spaceship returned to its original shape, the starlight once again appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the miraculous building that was only known by its name also appeared in front of Hao Ren for the first time. (to be continued~-~)
