I don't know what Shallow Shallow was thinking, but she had completely given up on touring the plantation. Instead, she excitedly crawled around the nearby shrubs, looking for colorful berries. Sandora followed behind her, waiting to be fed. The two of them worked together, and soon, the entire nursery was barren. Of course, Shallow Shallow only plucked the berries, but Sandora ate the rest of the shrubs.
Occasionally, autonomous robots flew around the plantation. These autonomous robots had just woken up from the garage, and they immediately discovered that the plants in the eco-dome were growing out of control. So, they hurriedly ran around, pruning the branches, and clearing away the vines and moss on the buildings. The unlucky robot that Shallow Shallow had caught finally found a chance to escape. After letting out a shrill cry, it caught up with the rest of the autonomous robots. Glick looked at these advanced robots, and it was only now that he came to his senses. He exclaimed, "Ah! I forgot Dudu on the ship! "
Dudu was the autonomous robot that we had given to Glick. Glick had treated it like a treasure and had always kept it by his side. However, he had been too excited when he had transferred it from the transport ship, or maybe he had been too pressed for time, but he seemed to have forgotten about the little fellow.
"Don't worry, I will ask the people on the ship to help you look for it." I immediately comforted him, and I connected the information link, ready to send someone to the transport ship to look for the unlucky robot that had been left behind by its master. But before I could do anything, I suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound from afar, followed by a series of rapid squeals.
I turned my head towards the sound, and a military-type autonomous robot that was obviously different from the simple robots that traversed the plantation happened to turn around from behind a wall of shrubs in the distance. As it galloped, it spun its cover around impatiently, scaring away countless autonomous robots along the way. Glick also saw the flying robot in the distance, and he immediately whistled. The robot braked in the air, turned around, and charged towards us.
Bang!
It collided with an Osaka autonomous robot that had just floated out of the bushes. Both octopus robots were dizzy from the impact, but fortunately, they were relatively sturdy. After a series of messy grunts, they stabilized their bodies in the air and communicated with each other for a while. They told each other their names and confirmed that they were not injured before saying goodbye to each other. The Osaka autonomous robot continued to build the flower wall, and Tutu came to Glick's side and rolled up and down excitedly, like a pet that had been raised.
Although it was rude of me to say this, at this moment, I really saw the shadow of Dingdang on this lump of metal. After that little thing ate and drank to its fill, it especially liked to run around me, dancing in the air and stuff like that … …
"This is the first time I've seen someone keep an autonomous robot as a pet."
Lin Xue clicked her tongue as she watched Glick and his robot pet interact intimately. I thought of something else. "Actually, I've seen it twice. You too."
"Ah?"
"Gaia. She raised tens of millions of them."
Lin Xue was stunned. "Now that you mention it, it really seems like she usually treats autonomous robots as pets … Wow, what a strange woman!"
"Oh yeah, uncle, is my spaceship still here?"
I exchanged feelings with Tutu for a while. After a while, Glick recovered from his excitement and asked happily.
"I told you, don't call me uncle." I shrugged helplessly. "Of course it's still here. That spaceship is already yours, but I got someone to dismantle its weapon system. Unless you become a combat pilot, that thing will definitely not be left for you."
"Oh, I know." Glick didn't look regretful at all. Obviously, the most important thing to him was the spaceship itself and not the weapons on the spaceship. He wasn't very interested in those flashy but dangerous things. "As long as the spaceship is here, it's fine. After all, I am a child of the Glick family. Of course, I need my own spaceship … Oh yeah, uncle, when will my father come? He should be on another big spaceship, right? "
The moment Glick said that, the room fell into silence.
Finally, it was inevitable that Glick would ask us about his father's whereabouts. Perhaps he could accept his father's absence for two years due to the limited conditions in the junkyard, but now that the junkyard was gone and everyone had migrated to their new home, did Glick's father have any reason to not appear in front of his family for two years?
"This …"
I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to tell Glick about this. His father had crashed on Mars in another universe, and not even his body was left. How could I just tell him this news so easily?
Death, death for the sake of one's beliefs. It sounded nice, but it was never a pleasant thing to say. Even now, I had witnessed the passing of countless lives, but I still couldn't take this kind of thing lightly. Especially under these circumstances, when Glick and Water Drop were still immersed in the joy of moving to their new home, it was too difficult to tell them this sad news.
How should I put it? Your father is a hero. He used his own life to achieve his dream. He charged out of the junkyard and brought the Empire's fleet to his people. Therefore, he saved his home … It was a beautiful feat, but I knew that these words were only suitable to be written on a monument or in history books. For those who had lost their loved ones, 10,000 beautiful words like this couldn't compare to the return of their loved ones.
"Is there a problem?" Glick looked at us with confusion. "Can't my father stay in this city?"
I made up my mind and was about to tell him the truth when a small voice beat me to it. "No, no, he has to go through some paperwork, so he will come a few days later! By the way, paperwork … paperwork … Ah Jun, can you help Jingle with the paperwork?! "
I lowered my head and found that the pocket in front of my chest had been pushed open. Half of Jingle's body was hanging out of the pocket. She waved her arms to raise her presence. She used her loudest voice to shout at Glick so that he would know where her voice came from. Then, she climbed onto my shoulder through the folds of my shirt and shook my earlobe for help.
I didn't know how to react, but when I thought of Jingle's identity, I vaguely guessed what she meant. So, I cooperated and said, "Oh, there is a paperwork. Isn't your father a battleship pilot? Some battleship pilots need to register with the Imperial Army. Then, there are all kinds of checks …"
"Ah, I see." Glick nodded in understanding. Children didn't have many schemes, especially now that he was so excited that he didn't doubt our words at all.
Since we were afraid that Glick and Water Droplet would ask more questions, we didn't dare to continue leading them around. We quickly sent the two children to the temporary residential area for the immigrants. After settling the siblings down, we returned to the shuttle.
As soon as I returned, I took out Ding Dang from my pocket and placed it on the table. I stared at the three inch tall little thing until her face turned red from my stare.
"Little thing, do you have a way to resurrect Glick's father?"
This was the most likely scenario. Jingle was the Goddess of Life. Of course, she had the power to resurrect mortals. That was why when I heard Jingle suddenly jump out and say those words, this was the first possibility that came to my mind.
Resurrecting the dead wasn't uncommon for us. Let alone others, Liliana could be considered to have been resurrected. There was also Anveena back home. Although she was still in a "dead" state, her continued existence in the form of a ghost was no different from being alive. On the battlefield, after the Shiring Apostles died in battle, they could be resurrected through the regeneration factory. Even the servants whose souls were too weak to be transferred would have a certain number of priests from the Church of Life in their ranks. The strongest among the priests who borrowed power from Jingle also had the power to resurrect others. They could protect the weak servants on the cruel battlefield. However, the way the priests of the Church of Life resurrected others was vastly different from Jingle's power. To put it bluntly, their resurrection spell was a kind of "life-saving spell". It was to forcefully seal the souls of dead soldiers in their physical bodies while using a large amount of life force to sustain the physical body. If they were lucky, these "corpses" that were hanging on could be sent back to the mothership to receive medical treatment. But no matter what, this was still a type of resurrection.
However, no matter what kind of resurrection it was, there was a prerequisite: the soul of the dead had to be found.
The soul was a very complicated thing. It was a natural amalgamation of information. It carried all the memories and "history" of a life in an invisible way. Every life was unique, and the soul was also unique. Even if you could completely copy a person's memories, it would only be equivalent to copying a fake. It definitely couldn't be called resurrection.
Resurrection had to be for the unique main body — commonly known as the original.
The problem was obvious. Even if Jingle was willing to help resurrect Glick's father with her own hands, could she find the soul that had dissipated for more than a month?
"This is a problem." The little thing crossed her arms in front of her chest, frowning as she walked back and forth on the table, looking like an expert scholar. If I said that she was a female philosophy student wandering on the campus of Peking University, people would probably believe me. "The soul is gone … but it's not completely gone. In fact, when I went to Mars with Ah Jun to check the wreckage, Jingle did collect souls, but she had no idea who those souls were. And because a long time had passed when they were discovered, those souls had more or less fused, so I'm afraid there would be problems with resurrection."
"You collect souls? What for? "
Icetis asked curiously. Even though Jingle was the Goddess of Life, it was not her job to collect wandering souls. There were countless wandering souls in the world, so how could she collect all of them? Therefore, it was surprising that Jingle had purposely collected a batch of souls. Had the little thing already thought of this?
"Jingle thought they were lost on Mars, so of course she had to bring them back to Earth!" The little thing said confidently with her arms akimbo, "But after she brought them back to Earth, Jingle realized she had made a mistake. They couldn't enter Earth's life cycle, so Jingle had to temporarily place them in the temple's garden."
Everyone: "…"
Was there such a thing in this world that could get lost so far?!
Wait a minute, there might be …
"Okay, let's not think about that for now. In any case, this is a good thing." Big Sis waved her hand with a happy smile. "The people on the Hope have indeed brought hope to their entire race. They are heroes who have saved the world, so it's great that there's a chance to resurrect them. But Jingle, you mentioned that the souls seem to be merging. Will there be a problem? "
"In other words, after they are resurrected, they might be confused for a period of time." Jingle thought about it and said seriously, "Glick might have more than 2,300 fathers …"
"And a few hundred of them are women," Icetis added seriously.
I was stunned for a full minute. Then, I crossed my hands under my chin in a commanding position. After a long time, I looked up and asked Shadora, "Should we set up an ethics committee on New Mars first?"
"Ah Jun, you don't have to worry." Dingdang hopped in front of me and climbed up my sleeves. While climbing, she said cheerfully, "It's only temporary. It's similar to a mild schizophrenia. In at most a month, they will be able to expel the foreign object from their soul."
I instantly let out a breath of relief. I thought to myself, if this situation were to persist for a longer period of time, it would be a terrifying disaster for Glick. Losing one's parents is a sad thing, but it doesn't seem that lucky to have more than 2,000 fathers fall from the sky.
"Alright, it's another happy occasion." Lin Xue suddenly clapped her hands and caught our attention. "Now that the refugees from the ruins have settled down and the construction of New Mars is satisfactory, what should we do next? Go home? Or take a stroll? "
"I don't really care." The elder sister shrugged. "But I am quite curious about the situation in the shelter."
"I am hungry." Sandora shook my arm pitifully. "It will take a long time for us to go home and eat. Let's go to the shelter to find something to eat!"
My gaze fell on Shallow Shallow. She immediately raised her hand and said, "I want to go to the shelter to play! Chestnut said that there are a lot of fresh things there! "
Following that was the group of five Protoss cops. They were a bunch of people who either had no ideas or would just go wherever there was excitement. We didn't have to worry about their arrangements at all.
"Then let's take a look at the shelter first."
I clapped my hands and made a decision. Then, I beckoned the girls to set off. Chestnut was the first to run to the entrance. It was obvious that she wanted to meet her old friends in the shelter.
The mayor of the shelter hadn't returned yet. Before the Empire's fleet left, he had been waiting nearby for orders. When he heard that the leaders of the Empire wanted to visit the shelter, he immediately became excited and offered to be their tour guide. Of course, we didn't agree. Originally, we liked to wander around and play as we pleased. If we had a meticulous uncle by our side, it would be such a disappointment. Although the mayor was indeed a good person, we were born with moral principles … Cough cough, I mean, we stayed away from serious people. More importantly, I still couldn't remember what the mayor's name was. It was quite awkward.
The shelter was dozens of kilometers away from the Osaka eco-dome. It would only take a few minutes to reach it by high-speed shuttle. Soon, we arrived at the entrance of the shelter.
The Mars shelter actually had a very similar appearance and functional structure to the Osaka eco-dome. It also had a magnificent circular barrier. A ten-meter-tall alloy barrier isolated the entire shelter from the outside environment. Outside the barrier were tall towers with a large number of observation stations and forward bases. Above the barrier was a layer of ultra-high strength and multi-layered transparent crystal shield. Looking from above, the entire shelter looked like it was covered in amber. Inside the barrier was a large city. The upper level of the city was residential and plant areas, and the lower level extended more than a kilometer underground. It was the colonial cabin mechanical section composed of a large number of ecological adjustment equipment. The entire shelter was originally something called a "colonial sphere". This colonial sphere was carried by a giant colonial ship and dropped onto a barren planet. It could expand into a self-sufficient comprehensive city in a short period of time. The Osaka eco-dome also had a similar structure, but the scale was smaller than this colonial base and did not have a modular structure.
"More than a year ago, people in the shelter had to wear a ventilator to go out, and no one dared to go more than twenty kilometers away from the shelter." Standing outside the barrier, Chestnut said emotionally, "During the carnival, a large ecological area was built around the shelter, and people's activities could be expanded outside the city. However, the red soil area outside was still a very dangerous place. The Mars storm once took the lives of several explorers, and there was also a fatal lack of oxygen and toxic gas. I didn't expect this place to become like this so quickly. "
"This is the power of technology," I commented solemnly. Then, I raised my eyebrows and looked at the entrance of the barrier. "But before that, I'm actually more interested in something else … What the hell is that thing?"
At the entrance of the barrier a hundred meters away, the most eye-catching thing were two huge metal facilities. Alright, I'll be frank. They were actually two alloy statues that were dozens of meters tall. One of them had waist-length hair, a cold and dignified face, and was wearing a long dress. She was Sandora, and the other one was dressed like a clothes rack, holding a sword and looking into the distance … I don't need to tell you who it was, right?
"Of course it's you, Big Brother, and Sister Sandora."
Kuozi said in a serious manner.
I instantly felt a toothache. Beside me, Icetis was about to hug her stomach and roll on the ground again. At this moment, a black shadow flashed by, startling me. I quickly turned to look in the direction where the black shadow disappeared, and I realized that it was the little doll Mercury Lamp that had flown out. Now, she was curiously flying around the huge statue and drawing on it.
I immediately panicked and shouted, "Little Lamp! Get down from my nose! "
