A man, a girl, a computer that has claimed to have no other life since the beginning, wandered among the stars in a dilapidated spaceship for nearly three years.

In the past three years, they have been to many places and met many people, but in the end, they can only walk like dragonflies touching the water, leaving not too many traces, and most of the time only the three of them are alone in the cockpit, life is inevitably boring, boring to the point of attacking each other, and the content is often simply simply childishly revolving around various naming rights.

For example, why was the M mecha that once shocked the world with Xu Le called Little White Flower? Why is Le Qiu's name so sour? Is it necessary to add a word to Shang Qiu? The quarrel has not been too fruitful until now, and even the black sè tattered spaceship they are in does not have an official name, and the reason why this is so is because the three of them feel that the name is very important, and the reason why they think the name is important is probably because of the ......

Whether it is Xu Le who struggles between the empire and the Federation, Philip who struggles between cold computers and intelligent life, or Zhong Yanhua who struggles between the identity of Princess Xilin and the little watermelon who wandered with her brother, they are all people who lack a stable sense of belonging, and they need to use their names, which are just simple codes in Wenqing's eyes, to determine their sense of belonging and increase their sense of security.

Philip's voice was silent for a moment, and then it sounded delicately and proudly again in the control room: "I don't care about anything else, but as the captain and the creator of this broken spaceship, I have decided to name it Heizhi." ”

Zhong Yanhua didn't mean to ridicule it as just a repairman, and said directly: "I object." ”

Xu Le didn't speak, but just raised his right hand to express his agreement with her.

Based on the trio's austereotypical principle of democratic centralism, Philip's attempt to seize the naming rights suffered the heaviest blow again, and he asked angrily, "What's wrong with the name?"

"It's too affectionate. The expression on Zhong Donghua's face was very serious.

Xu Le raised his right hand, but he didn't actually pay attention to the quarrel around him, he was just used to standing beside Zhong Yanhua in this kind of routine war, one was an old thing that had lived for countless thousands of years, and the other was a little watermelon who had just transformed into a girl, and it was not difficult to choose a camp.

He was thinking about something else at this time, and after getting rid of some of his previous gloomy moods, he naturally began to worry about his future life, mainly the life of a little girl.

According to the information reported by Huai Caoshi, as well as the case files collected by Philip's occasional hack into the Federal Charter network, he knew that Tian Dabang had left the front line as early as last year and was forced to return to Xilin.

This is a very normal thing, even if Du Shaoqing's feelings are gentle, as the former commander-in-chief of the Federation, it is impossible to allow a strong man who has no scruples to scold himself as an ice and snow demon, without any military identity, and can still command more than a dozen Xilin Divisions under his command, not to mention that the feelings of this famous general of the Federation have always had nothing to do with the word mildness.

"Since Uncle Tian has been back in Xilin for a year, the situation over there should be stable. After Xu Le was silent for a long time, he looked at Zhong Yanhua's eyes and asked very seriously: "Since you said that you want to go back to Xilin, when will you go back?"

Ten years have passed, but in his eyes, the girl in front of him is still the poor runaway girl back then, and this is the first time he has had a dialogue with her in such a serious tone and with such an equal attitude.

Zhong Yanhua was obviously a little uncomfortable, and found that his brother finally treated himself as an adult, a little happy and a little excited, but he was flustered and confused from nowhere, nervously scratching his straight hair like silk brocade, tilting his head slightly, and asked tentatively: "After the ceremony?"

"After the age of sixteen, you will go back?"

Xu Le confirmed very seriously, his mood was a little complicated, thinking that there was only one year left, he was a little unsatisfied, and he was a little relieved to think that the girl was growing up day by day in front of his eyes.

Zhong Yanhua waved his palm anxiously and quickly, and said urgently: "No, isn't it, isn't Cheng*Ren City eighteen years old?"

It will take two more years, Xu Le's mood has become much happier for some reason, and he sighed with a smile: "Time is really a pig-killing knife." ”

Zhong Yanhua's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and said with a sweet smile: "It also depends on whether it is a pig or a pearl, I really can't really be a pearl." ”

"Our little princess is, of course, one of the most beautiful and dazzling pearls in the universe. ”

Xu Le laughed, Zhong Yanhua saw that the annoyance between his eyebrows was gone, and his heart seemed to be covered with the brightest sky blue, and he smiled very happily.

Philip had been watching this scene silently and interestingly, and when he saw that he had begun to have fun as expected at the end, he couldn't help but comment with resentment: "Perverted." ”

"What did you say?" asked Xu Le.

"I said, why are you stupid like a broken stone without a mouth, whether you are facing Jian Shui'er or Shang Qiu Zhang Xiaomeng, but you can talk sweetly to this yellow-haired little girl like this. ”

Zhong Yanhua touched the hair of the shallow chestnut sè, and glared at the probe at the front of the mechanical arm angrily, but at this time she was in a good mood, her eyes were too clean, and her eyebrows and eyes were too clear.

Philip didn't bother to pay attention to her, and asked Xu Le: "Where are you going next?" I have detected some information, a large family in the empire has a batch of primary alloy ore ready to be loaded into the smuggling spaceship, which is only 645.32 astronomical units away from us, and we have no reason not to eat these things. ”

In front of Huai Caoshi in the library, Xu Le said that it was his hobby to fight grievances and uphold justice, which was a bit shameless, but Philip had been doing shameless things directly over the years.

With the impact of the terrifying engine power of the broken spaceship, he is unreasonable and unreasonable to rob all corners of the universe, whether it is the private ship of the Seven Families of the Federation, the spaceship of Bermuda merchants, or the spaceship of the nobles of the Empire, they are all his targets of robbery, and almost all the hidden smuggling passages at both ends of the universe echo the legend of a greedy demon.

Of course, Philip insisted that this was robbing the rich and giving to the poor, that this was the rational distribution of resources, that this was rearranging the laws for the Creator, and that as for the true will of the Creator, in a sense, he was the Creator.

"Let's go to Tianjing. ”

Xu Le's answer was obviously well thought out, so it came very quickly, the reason why he came to the empire was because he wanted to know the place where he was born, and Philip wanted to find the higher level of mechanical intelligence that they had talked about back then, and to achieve these two goals, the most powerful planet of the empire had to go.

He frowned, gently stroked the metal bracelet on his left wrist, and said, "If the camouflage chip was removed from that ship, then the high-level mechanical intelligence you are looking for is very likely to be related to Master Fanfu." ”

"Probably xìng up to ninety-nine percent. Philip replied.

"The ancestor of the Hua family should not be an imperial person, ║x〢 but an ancestor star. ║x〢 Xu Le said: "║x〢 If the high-sequence mechanical intelligence comes from that ancestral star, ║ s 〢 and the Hua family does not have the ability to fully grasp it, ║ w 〢 only drove a spaceship from that ancestral star to the Zuotian Star Domain, ║.〢 then you can explain many of these problems, such as why there has never been such a powerful existence as you on the imperial side. "║e〢║t〢 character \ sign / inside \ face / for \ first / send \ place / address,

"I'm embarrassed if you compliment me like that. Ruo Liyou replied softly: "Without the support of the federal central database, I am not as awesome as I used to be, and I will disappoint you." ”

Xu Le ignored this guy's seemingly modest but narcissistic tone, and asked directly: "The problem now is...... Where is the ancestral star?

"Although there is no central database to support it, I certainly remember something as important as it very clearly. Philip's voice suddenly calmed down, as if talking about this matter made him feel a little heavy: "According to the inference of scholars on both sides, the Federation and the Empire originate from the same origin, so the ancestral star of the Empire must be the Earth. ”

"Earth?" Xu Le frowned and asked, "Isn't this name too ugly?"

Zhong Yanhua cautiously reminded on the side: "Brother, you have fallen into the habit of accusing again, you must know that we have no right and qualification to participate in the naming of that ancestral star." ”

The slender metal robotic arm swayed up and down in agreement.

Xu Le felt a little embarrassed, coughed twice and then continued to ask, "Why did I never hear of any earth when I was in the Federation?"

"Because these are top-secret materials before the Holocaust.

Philip explained in a solemn tone, "Even if you have a hierarchy as high as five or six floors, I can't open up this information for you to know, unless the team of five is reborn and the shackles in the core program are lifted. ”

"Then why are you telling me today?"

Philip explained in a flirtatious tone: "Because I am alive now, the core program constraints set by the five-person team can't destroy me, what am I afraid of?"

Xu Le was immediately angry when he heard this explanation, glared at the probe and reprimanded: "Then you didn't say it earlier!"

Philip was also angry: "You haven't asked my wife in the past three years!"

Xu Le and Zhong Yanhua glanced at each other, dumbfounded, and after a while, he asked a little tiredly, "Fei Ye, can you tell me, what is that great catastrophe?"

"The Holocaust? The Holocaust is...... Buzz. ”

"Buzz?"

"Buzz is that countless big bombs have exploded, and the earth where humans originally lived, probably the ancestral star that the Imperial people called, was directly destroyed by this terrifying explosion. ”

Xu Le's eyes narrowed, and he asked in shock: "What kind of bomb can destroy a planet?" Even when the Federation has the most crystal ore resources, it is impossible to destroy a planet without stopping the main bombardment of all the warships, and there is no way to destroy even all the areas on the surface of the planet. ”

Philip was silent for a long time, and said lightly with a hint of inexplicable sadness: "You don't have to ask about this, anyway, those big bombs...... Not a good bomb. ”
