After returning to the spaceplane, Silin, Huimao, and Moon analyzed the information and found the comet in the meteor shower. Then, Silin sent out several trackers to track the comet to see if there was any signal from the black box.
Silin did some calculations. The location and time when Genya encountered the unstable wormhole happened to be very close to the target comet. Perhaps for some reason, the black box on the comet reacted and triggered a wormhole that led to the League of Stars. After that, the comet moved away, and the wormhole became unstable, closing the passage. The whole process didn't last long, and Genya wasn't that close to the planet, so it didn't attract much attention.
According to the information Cillin had gathered, although some people had noticed an abnormal energy and spatial fluctuation at a place a certain distance away from the planet, the signal and communication equipment had been disrupted at the time, and it hadn't lasted for a long time. There were many different opinions after the incident, and no conclusion could be drawn.
Although there was evidence from various incidents, it was all speculation before a definite conclusion was reached.
Silin, Huimao, and Moon stared at the signals sent back by the trackers on the screen. The trackers were getting closer and closer to the comet, and when the light dot that represented the signal intensity on the screen grew brighter and brighter, Silin knew his speculation was confirmed.
"It's really there!!"
Moon was so happy that he spun in circles like a top. Just like Sigma, they liked to swing their arms when they were happy.
"Hurry up and find it. We can go back when we find it, right, Silin?" Huimao looked at Silin expectantly.
"I think so. Let's see what's going on with the black box first." Silin was calmer than the others, but he was also excited. Although he had made some preparations, finding the black box would save him a lot of time.
From the analysis of the trackers, he could see the general location of the black box on the comet, but it would take a lot of effort to get it out.
Silin was going to contact Xi Kai and ask him to send a robot to solve the problem, but Moon stopped him. He wanted to get the black box himself. Perhaps Moon no longer trusted the Xi Family the most. He was afraid that the Xi Family would do something to harm him and Sigma, such as tossing the black box into a research lab.
Although Moon and the other Origin robots looked ancient, they were made of the best materials available. Plus, Moon had upgraded himself several times before he sent Moon to retrieve the black box from the comet. That was why Cillin decided to send Moon to retrieve the black box.
Moon was very satisfied with Silin's behavior because Silin's first concern was his safety, not whether he could take out the black box.
Seeing that Yue was going to help, Huimao also expressed his willingness to help. The black box was too important for Huimao, and he was tired of living in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire. Everything he did was restricted, and although he was a bit more lenient when it came to foreign beasts, he wasn't as free as he was when he was a hunter regiment. After all, this wasn't his territory. Not even Huimao would feel at ease if he sent another robot to retrieve the black box from the comet. To him, no robot was better than himself and Moon.
There were a lot of floating debris in space when they approached the comet's orbit. Cillin first cleared away these obstacles and then found the safest time to release Wheeze and Moon out of the comet.
They were robots after all, so they weren't as restricted by the same conditions as humans. Huimao grabbed Moon and had him take it to the comet.
Moon knew the black box better than Moon, so he knew how to remove it from the "dirty Xueqiu" without damaging it. Huimao assisted him from the side. As for Silin, Silin stayed on the spaceplane to provide some extra support. If anything happened on the comet, Silin would teleport them back to the comet using fixed point teleportation. Even if the comet's environment wasn't suitable for fixed point teleportation, he would still do his best to ensure the accuracy of the teleportation.
Silin had made a lot of preparations, but to his surprise, the process of removing the black box from the comet was smoother than expected. Moon had done everything perfectly, and he had even considered some of the details beforehand. Just as Chip had said, Moon was the smartest among the five robots. He was also the one who knew how to play dumb the most.
The black box wasn't as big as Silin thought. It was only two meters long, but it contained the crystallization of the Xi Family's wisdom at its peak. After being buried for nearly a thousand years, the mysterious and extraordinary look on the surface of the black box made everyone who saw it feel an inexplicable excitement.
Some peripherals were needed to activate the black box, and these could all be prepared according to the black box. Cillin wasn't worried. Considering the capabilities of the people left behind on the research bastion, this shouldn't be a big problem.
Carefully packing the black box, Huimao didn't even log on to the forum. Instead, he squatted next to Moon, fearing that something might go wrong. Seeing Huimao like this, Silin smiled. It seemed that the robot was eager to return.
"No wonder we couldn't find it. It was on the comet. It's been orbiting the comet. It's no longer where it used to be," Moon said. The blue light on Ah Yue's face curved into two curves, showing that Ah Yue was in a good mood.
Silin nodded when he heard Moon's words. It was a matter of luck. Those people wouldn't have thought that the black box was on the comet, would they? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find it.
Silin was thankful that the black box was on a periodic comet, not a non-periodic one. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known where to start looking.
When Xi Kai learned that Silin had found the black box, he felt conflicted. On one hand, he was happy that he'd found it. After all, he'd be able to see what the Xi Family's original home looked like. He'd also be able to meet the mysterious Original robot, Sigma. On the other hand, he felt helpless. How did Silin find it so quickly? Didn't the Xi Family send people to look for it? Was this another way of saying that the Xi Family weren't as good as Silin?
Now it was obvious that Moon was closer to Silin and distant from the Xi Family. This made Xi Kai's heart sour.
Though his thoughts were conflicted, he knew what he needed to do. Cillin had already told him about the resources he needed in advance. The researchers who stayed in the space fortress were easier to control. They weren't as scheming as Cillin had suggested.
After Silin delivered the black box, the researchers got to work under Moon's direction.
Seeing how familiar Moon was with the black box, Silin knew that he hadn't been telling the truth. Perhaps he didn't know everything about the technology, but he knew far more than anyone else. It wasn't like he said he didn't know anything.
This little fellow's guard was quite heavy. But it was understandable. If it weren't for that, Moon would've been sent to the lab and become a second Chip.
The researchers, including Shi Tang, were very excited. Being able to participate in this project and understand this technology was a great gift to them. These people almost worked day and night to prepare and process the peripherals under the guidance of A Yue. But every once in a while, A Yue would ask them to stop and rest. After all, these people were not robots, and there was a limit to their energy.
Celine watched the entire process from the side. Sometimes, he would join in and help out. Through this process, he learned a lot about this technology. In his heart, Celine was also planning when he would have the opportunity to create a second black box. However, this was not something he could easily do alone.
When the peripherals were finished, Silin had a chat with Moon. All that was left to do was debug and check. Moon was the only one who could do this. He had set up a very complicated password for the black box.
There were a few things Silin needed to take care of before he returned to the League of Stars. Also, Huimao had been eyeing the fish biscuits produced in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire, and he had to bring gifts to Xueqiu and the Miantuan.
Moon didn't mind. He waved a hand and told Silin and Huimao to get to work. No one would be able to activate the black box in advance with him around. When he said this, Yue deliberately looked at Xi Kai next to him.
Xi Kai felt like he was stuck on a fishbone. After Silin and the others left, he returned to the Xi Family's electronic planet and chatted with Chip for the entire day. It was true that not every Origin robot was as easy to talk to as Chip. Xi Kai needed Chip to teach him how to get along with the Origin robot better. What if Sigma ignored him, a true descendant of the Xi Family, just like Moon did? His ancestors would probably kill him in his dreams if that happened.
Silin actually had a lot of things to do right now: AF1's classes, the RAS project, Guan Feng's project, and the problems he had to deal with as one of the three people in charge of Black Viper. However, these weren't the most important things to Silin right now.
He could apply to suspend AF1's classes, and there were plenty of people willing to take over the RAS project. Guan Feng wouldn't be affected too much even without him. As for Black Viper, he could let it go for a while. In the past, Guan Feng had always been a hands-off boss.
Right now, Silin's top priority was to talk to Genya.
When Silin arrived at the courtyard next to the artificial sea, Genya was sitting on a recliner under a tree.
"Master." Celine stood beside the deck chair and said softly.
Genya opened his eyes. He wasn't smiling like he used to when he saw Silin. Although he was smiling now, Silin sensed a hint of melancholy in Genya's eyes.
Genya's health had been improving ever since he returned to the Gen Family. Just like Genya said, the Fuji Tree had some sort of healing effect on the Gen Family. Right now, Genya still looked old on the outside, but his bodily functions were almost the same as a middle-aged man's. The only difference was that Genya had gone through so much and experienced so much.
"Have you found a way to return?" Genya asked.
Judging from his calm tone, Cillin knew that Genya was mentally prepared for this.
Silin nodded. "Yes."
Genya let out a long sigh. "Silin, there's something I'd like to talk to you about in private."
What he meant was that he didn't want anyone around him, not even Huimao.
Huimao had already gone off to chat with Blue Skin. After all, he wouldn't be back for a long time after he left. The guards around the yard were sent away, and Silin soundproofed the area. Although they were still here, no one could hear their conversation from two meters away. It was impossible to guess what they were talking about based on the movement of their lips.
After everything was done, Silin stood there quietly and waited for Genya to continue.
Ever since Silin could understand things, he knew that his master wasn't happy at all. Hena said that it was because Genya was missing someone. Later, when Silin received the ring with the curly leaf pattern, he thought that Genya was like that because he missed the Gen Family of the Mist Bodhisattva Empire. But after returning to the Gen Family, Silin realized that wasn't entirely the case.
Silin didn't know who Genya was missing, and he didn't ask about it. Knowing Genya's temper, it was impossible to pry the answer out of him if he didn't want to tell anyone.
After a long period of silence, Genya finally spoke.
"I've been thinking about it since the last time you came to ask me those questions." Genya said slowly, "I left behind a log book in the League of Stars, but I didn't carry it with me later on. It's a record of my daily life in the League of Stars, and I left it somewhere before I left for Planet Brown Earth."
Genya had created a partial star map, and it was necessary to compare it with the League of Stars's star map in order to find the place. However, the League of Stars wasn't the Mist Bodhisattva Empire, and the League of Stars didn't have a complete star map.
"Go there and find a man named Hara. Tell him to take back the things I left with him, and he'll give you the record book."
"Which Sector of the League of Stars does this place belong to?" Silin asked while pointing at the partial star map.
"Sector S."
Silin was astonished. He didn't think that Genya had been to Sector S before. But how did he get in and out of a place like that safely? Or was it just luck?
Genya didn't explain too much. He simply said, "The key to open the log book is the ring on your finger. If anyone tries to open the log book by force, it will self-destruct. From what I know of Hara, he should've kept the log book very well. Once you find the log book, you'll know everything about me … there's a special record of one, no, two people in the log book. If you meet them, please give this to them. "
Genya took out a box with a necklace and a badge inside. The necklace was a woman's style, and the green gemstone embedded on it was exquisite and pure. It looked like it contained a lot of life, and it was much better than the green pearls Silin had found back then. There was a pattern on the gemstone, and it was the emblem of the Fuji royal family's Gen Family. However, the pattern on it was slightly different from the emblem worn by most members of the Gen Family. It was an emblem only worn by members of the royal family or those who were extremely close to them.
The badge was similar to the one worn by Gen Xingming's father, the current King Fuji. It was a very good proof of identity in itself. Silin had always thought that only the children of the current King Fuji like Gen Xingming and Gen Xingming would have such proof of identity. He didn't think that there would be another.
Seeing through Silin's thoughts, Genya explained, "My royal brother purposely left this extra badge for me back then. He gave it to me after I returned."
Genya only explained half of it. The hidden meaning behind his explanation was that Genya would give this badge to his son or daughter as well.
Genya actually has a wife and child in the League of Stars?!
Silin looked at Genya. He still had a lot of questions, but Genya's "don't ask me, I don't want to say anything" look didn't come out of his mouth. He would know everything once he found the log book.
Silin accepted the box containing the two items. "You're not going to meet them?"
Genya lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. However, his lips were tightly pursed and his fingers were rubbing his sleeves.
Seeing Genya like this, Silin knew that Genya was conflicted and conflicted. He said, "If possible, I'll see if I can bring them to reunite with you."
"The possibility is very small," Genya said in a low voice.
No matter how Silin listened to his tone, he felt that he was full of grievance. Silin glanced at Genya with an odd expression. He didn't know that his master had such a side to him.
"I understand. If everything goes smoothly, I'll bring you to meet them when I return," Silin answered.
Genya turned his head to the side and didn't say anything. Silin took this as a tacit agreement.
Before leaving, Genya told Silin, "Don't worry, I'll take care of things here. As for you, be careful when you return to the other side. Your safety is the most important. "
"Yes, master. I know what to do. Don't worry."
Silin gave Genya a hug before leaving the courtyard. He brought Huimao to buy the fish biscuits and gifts it had been longing for.
Silin rubbed his forehead when he saw Huimao's list. "It's not like we're not coming back. Why do you need to buy so many things?"
Huimao thought for a moment and realized that Qin Lie was right. Therefore, he circled some of the important items with his paw. "Then I'll buy these first. I can't go any lower!"
"Alright. But you need to lose weight, glutton."
Besides the fish biscuits, Huimao also took the opportunity to roar on the forums, "I'm going to leave for a while. Don't get too cocky, little ones!"
Some people let out a sigh of relief when they heard this. They could finally enjoy some peace and quiet.
Silin also left a letter for Guan Feng and set it to be sent at a fixed time. It would be best if Guan Feng could show up if there was an emergency. After all, Genya couldn't take care of everyone at the same time. It would also reduce some of the pressure on him.
Silin also contacted Shusag and his son and picked them up. When they returned to the space fortress, Xi Kai was already waiting for them. Other than Shi Tang and Sha Rou, the rest of the researchers had been transferred to another space fortress. This one had already completed a round of modifications.
"Are you ready?" Ah Yue moved a finger in front of the black box. "Then let's begin."
