All around them were metal components welded to the alloy walls and ground. There was no one in the spaceship, and there was no sound. Only the violent vibration and the shrill sound of the wind from the gaps of the broken metal could be felt. Only then could one feel the terrifying speed.
The dilapidated spaceship that had broken through the colorful clouds was flying freely in the sky with a roar. For the people in the cabin, it was a terrifying torture. At this moment, Xu Le's body had turned into a crazy stone, and he could not control it at all. He kept rolling up and down in the cabin, colliding with the hard and cold interior walls of the spaceship with many sharp corners, making dull crashing sounds.
After an unknown amount of time, the broken spaceship finally returned to its normal cruising position. Xu Le, whose face was covered in blood and his body was covered in green, finally had a chance to catch his breath. His right hand tightly grasped a metal object that looked like an engine rack that he could not recognize and scanned the interior of the spaceship as quickly as possible.
Blood dripped from his forehead and passed through his eyes, causing a certain degree of obstruction to his vision. The broken metal components welded to the interior of this strange spaceship made it even harder for people to see the original appearance of the spaceship, but Xu Le only took less than a second to recognize the origin of this spaceship. This was because more than a year ago, he had taken this tri-winged spaceship of the Bureau of Proclamation to heroically, or rather stupidly, break through the space channel. He had a deep impression of this spaceship that carried his determination for revenge. Even though its appearance had changed a lot, the aura inside was still there.
A moment ago, he was waiting for death on the hill, and the next moment, he appeared on the tri-winged warship of the Federal Charter Bureau. This kind of abrupt change in circumstances made him, who had extremely strong nerves, stunned for a moment. Then, a silly and joyful smile appeared on his bloody face.
The interstellar smugglers and pirates of the Empire could not understand this ghost ship, and neither could the Bureau of Proclamation of the Federation. Only Xu Le, who had been flirting with that great existence for many years, knew the reason. Since this tri-winged spaceship did not become a piece of trash in space but appeared in front of him, then … the old thing must be on the spaceship too!
Escaping from death and returning home, the great joy made the silly smile on Xu Le's face develop into a crazy direction. However, at this moment, the whistling sound of air tearing outside the spaceship that was penetrating the atmosphere at super high speed suddenly disappeared, and an absolute silence that made people instinctively panic shrouded the interior of the spaceship.
Xu Le felt that his body was gradually floating. He looked back in shock and saw that the gorgeous outline of the planet could be faintly seen outside the porthole. Only then did he understand that the spaceship had already passed through the atmosphere and was about to enter space.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something to the strangely silent old thing, but he found that he did not make any sound. His chest was slightly rising and falling, but he did not inhale any air. He stared at the holes on the inner wall of the spaceship that seemed to be laughing at him. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly closed his mouth, jumped to the closed door of the front cabin, and desperately knocked on it.
The alloy door of the front cabin slowly opened. Xu Le swam in without hesitation and tied himself to the seat near the observation window as fast as he could. Then he poked his finger up, closed the sealed door behind him, and pressed the button of the life-support system. But what made him feel crazy and desperate was that the oxygen content in the front cabin was still decreasing bit by bit.
Pulling out the life-support mask on the side of the seat and putting it on his face, Xu Le gasped a few times and shouted in shock, "What's wrong with the life-support system?"
Under the pressure of millions of tons of water in the Empire's Red Rose Royal Spaceship, his body once again underwent a wonderful change. He did not need to breathe for a long time, or he could faintly breathe the oxygen in the water through his skin. However, at this time, the spaceship was in an environment that was close to absolute vacuum. If he stayed for too long, he would only die.
No one answered his anxious and panicked question. A moment later, a mechanical electronic synthetic voice coldly sounded from inside the spaceship, "Request for identity verification. According to the Federation's laws and the Charter Act, if the identity verification is not passed, I will ask you to leave the spaceship after twenty Federation seconds."
At this time, Xu Le was like a drowning person who was holding the life-support helmet tightly. After suddenly hearing this sentence, he could not help but be stunned. Then the resentment and ruthlessness that he had developed after a year of escaping suddenly burst out. He took off the life-support mask and scolded angrily, "Stop playing games! You think this young master can't recognize you just because you're wearing a tattered vest? "
After angrily scolding this sentence, Xu Le caught a glimpse of a few dark figures that made his heart beat faster and faster on the side of the remote L9 planet that was getting smaller and smaller. They should be the Empire's regular fleet.
"Speed up! Speed up! Old man, get rid of these Empire people! "Xu Le waved his right arm vigorously and shouted loudly.
However, the mechanical voice in the spaceship was still as cold and emotionless as before. It was still carrying out a cold and terrifying countdown.
"103,102,101 …"
Xu Le was really stunned at this time. He held the bottom of the life-support mask and looked at the equipment around the front cabin with a trace of confusion. It seemed that he wanted to find where the old man was hiding. His body gradually became cold.
"I'm Xu Le."
"95, 94 …"
"Uh … I'm the 72nd anomaly?"
"88, 87 …"
"Di di di di di, I'm your father!"
Xu Le's body was slightly cold as he pointed a middle finger at the light screen in front of him.
Leave the spaceship? Fly freely in space? Of course that would be death. What the hell is identity verification? This mechanical synthesized voice seemed to have not been heard for a long time. Could it be that the old man was wandering alone in the universe, and his newly born IQ and EQ were miserably reduced to zero?
Suddenly, he thought of something and frowned. A moment later, he took off his coat and covered his head. Then, he took a deep breath in front of the oxygen mask and resolutely put the bracelet on his wrist on the back of his neck.
At this moment, Xu Le felt like the guy in the Federation fable who covered his ears to steal the crystal chandelier. He didn't want the old man to discover his secret, but in this situation, what could he do? He could only hope that the thin coat could cover The Glory Of The Charter.
The intense pain on the back of his neck that he had only experienced twice but would definitely be unforgettable for the rest of his life once again occupied his whole body. Xu Le painfully fell to the side of the chair with his clothes covered. His body trembled non-stop, but he forced himself not to fall unconscious with his strong mental strength.
"34, 33 …"
The mechanical synthesized voice inside the spaceship was still coldly counting down to death. As long as it or he or she wanted to, there were countless ways to make the painfully struggling man in the chair die.
At this moment, a beautiful blue line suddenly flashed on the thick dust covered light screen on the command console, making a soft beep.
"28 … Eh … Wu … Ah … Ah … Ah …"
The cold, mechanical, electronically synthesized voice suddenly twisted and changed pitch. The tone suddenly jumped up in the next moment, bringing with it a touch of extreme vicissitudes and rich emotion that made people cry, resounding in this spaceship that was as silent as a ghost in space.
"Oh … My God! Colonel Xu Le, you son of a bitch are still alive! "
…
…
His palm carelessly wiped away the accumulated dust on the light screen. Xu Le coughed hard twice. Looking at the few imperial battleships on the monitor, he finally relaxed. He shook his head with lingering fear. Suddenly, he thought of something. He slammed the light screen and said angrily, "What identity verification! You came to L9 to save me, don't tell me you don't know who I am? "
The image of the old butler that he had not seen for a long time appeared somewhat distorted on the display light screen. He bowed slightly to him and replied with a smile, "First of all, I am only a part of myself. My core computing ability is too weak, and my reaction is much slower. Second, I have connected to some of the imperial network in the past year, so I know that the imperial people are spending a lot of effort to kill a person. Finally, it just so happens that I have recently obtained some key parts through some legal means. I am preparing to go to an abandoned mechanical warehouse on this planet for repair. Based on the above three points, I was just preparing to rescue that person and ask him. Of course, I have to admit that the 3D portrait I captured was the main reason for my action this time. "
It was a very long explanation, but it was not convincing. Of course, it could not shake Xu Le out of his depressed mood. He angrily slapped his face that was still bloody and said, "An electronic portrait wanted by the imperial people? Look, look, look who this is, you are not blind. "
"It is not difficult for a human to disguise their face. Voice and fingerprints can also be imitated. Only the Charter Chip is the only reliable identity imprint."
Xu Le was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, "That is not necessarily the case."
The old butler on the light screen was also silent for a moment before he said with a hint of emotion, "Indeed."
The slight sound of the electric motor and a few sparks broke the silence between the two. If the Federation Charter Computer could be called a person, the automatic mechanical hands were busy repairing outside the cabin door. The secondary sealing pressure around the front cabin and the repair of the life support system were also in progress step by step.
Reuniting with the Federal Central Computer was equal to reuniting with the Federation and reuniting with the warmth of the past. After a moment of silence, Xu Le fell heavily on his back and lay on the familiar seat. He took a deep breath tiredly and said softly with a satisfied smile on his face, "This tri-winged warship is too shabby. It feels like it can fall apart at any time. The light screen in the front cabin is full of ash from the engine oil. Even the life support system is broken. I really don't understand how you can still stand in front of me alive and kicking."
"In fact, I am more curious about what you have been through in the past year. It is even more incredible that you can still stand in front of me alive and kicking and even have the energy to raise your middle finger and scold me."
The old butler in the form of Charter Computer replied calmly, "As for your question, it is actually very simple. I do not need to breathe. Naturally, I do not need to waste extra energy and components to maintain the life support system. I do not need to watch the surveillance, so I do not need to waste extra energy to clean the dust on the light screen."
Xu Le was silent for a moment before he said gloomily, "If this tri-winged warship was left in the Imperium to receive me when I left … then you threw away all these things as garbage. Did it not occur to you that I did not have your abilities and that I would become a dry corpse on the spaceship?"
"Well … To be honest, I did not expect you to come back alive." After a long silence, the old thing continued with the warmth that it had only recently grasped. "I am very happy that you are still alive."
"Me too." Xu Le patted the image of the old butler on the light screen softly and said, "It is good to see you again."
It was a little too sentimental, and it was sentimental between the intelligence of a human and a machine. There was always a nauseating feeling that surpassed the love between biological species. Xu Le and Charter Computer realized this at the same time and shut up at the same time. The mechanical arm that was moving slowly on the right side of the front cabin, preparing to imitate human actions and give Xu Le a warm and comforting hug … was also silently retracted.
"Where have you been in the past year? How have you been? " Xu Le suddenly asked with a smile, "Wandering alone in a foreign land, did you ever feel empty and lonely … and a little cold?"
The old thing was clearly shaken to the core by this sentence. After a long silence, when Xu Le was about to laugh heartily, a voice suddenly echoed in the quiet spaceship.
"Do not ask me where I come from, where I come from …
"My hometown is far away, far away.
"Why are you wandering, wandering far away, wandering in the universe."
In the vast and quiet space, a ragged metal spaceship brushed past the last asteroid belt of the L9 galaxy like a ghost and flew into the darkness further away. On this spaceship, there was a young man of the Federation who was facing the stars and covering his ears tightly. There was also a deep and magnetic male voice that was reciting ancient poems nonstop.
