Food is full of favorability [Interstellar]

Chapter 43 Spicy Braised Pig’s Knuckle

Seeing him like this, Xi Weier's heart softened, and he answered his questions very patiently.

"It's not like that." Xi Weier said softly, as if he was afraid that if he said something too harshly, he would hurt him: "People eat food first to maintain body energy and appetite, and secondly to stimulate the secretion of dopamine. Nutrients do not bring happiness."

For some reason, Xi Weier thought of the criticism and bad treatment Luo Bai received when he first came to their house, and he felt more self-blame.He said solemnly: "As for the fear that it will affect other people's interests and put your family in a dangerous situation...it doesn't matter, I will protect you."

Luo Bai looked at him fixedly, his eyes met, he bent his eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at comforting people."

It would be a lie to say that he was not moved, the major general who had always been indifferent, suddenly softened his voice to comfort himself, even a mature chef like him couldn't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed.

But they are on their way to Loras, and there are two relatives who are in a bad situation waiting for them, so let's let go of these lingering thoughts.

The two adult men finished eating a small box of Bo Bo Chicken separately. Seeing that there was still a lot of rice left, Luo Bai scratched his face and asked hesitantly: "There are some other braised meat, do you want to eat it too?"

The stewed pig's trotters were originally reserved for cravings, but I never thought that they would be taken out on the first day.It can only be said that he still misjudged the major general's appetite, and the road to feeding is a long way to go...

Xi Weier nodded obediently, and sat there watching Luo Bai magically figure out another fresh-keeping box.

The other box is the spicy old marinade he brought. There are only pork trotters that have been marinated in advance. Take it out and heat it up to eat. The remaining marinade can continue to be marinated with ingredients. It can be said to be the best choice for travel up.

Considering that interstellar people may not be able to accept holding hooves directly, Luo Bai deliberately chopped them into small pieces that are easy to eat, so that they can be eaten elegantly, and at the same time, the soup was boiled into thick and bright dates Red, fragrant.

As Luo Bai expected, Xi Weier had never eaten this strange ingredient.

He picked up a small piece, and saw that the outermost layer was a thick layer of skin jelly, soft and overcooked, it tasted fat but not greasy, and the texture was extremely elastic and gelatinous.The place close to the bone is lean meat, which has a mellow and rich meaty aroma when chewed, and the more tasted, the more fragrant.

It was still a little hot when it was hot, but after putting it in the mouth, the marinated fragrance instantly overflowed the lips and cheeks.This is the first time he has eaten food with such a strong taste. The spiciness in the marinade stimulates the palate and makes the peppery numbness stronger.

The spicy braised pig's trotters were marinated so deliciously that even the bones were soaked in the marinade. After eating the meat wrapped in the bones, Xi Weier sucked the soup on the cross section of the bones.

——Spicy and fragrant, with a sweet aftertaste and the wonderful fragrance of various spices, rich in layers, and the taste permeates the mouth for a long time.

After doing this somewhat vulgar move, Xi Weier finally realized what he had done, and when he looked up to see Luo Bai eating pig's trotters unconsciously, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If Luo Bai knew about it, he might laugh at him in his heart for pretending to be decent, and eating pig's trotters with his hands is the most delicious.

"That's great. If you were on the Goliath, how happy would you be on a boring duty." After eating the last grain of rice with marinade, Xi Weier sighed silently in his heart, he loved this kind of food very much. Warm and cozy atmosphere.

Luo Bai stretched to one side, narrowing his eyes slightly, like a lazy cat lying on the fireplace, slowly waiting for sleepiness to come.

Xi Weier helped pack the tableware and put them in the disinfection chamber for cleaning up for next use.

………………

A day later, the Pearce spacecraft has traveled more than half of its journey, and it is expected to arrive at its destination in one more day.

Sylvia was sitting on the bridge, and he received a message from Phyllis that Russell was in a stable condition, but he hadn't woken up because of the pressure on his brain; Heidi had already started receiving targeted treatment, and her condition improved , you don’t have to rush around too much.

Xi Weier was thinking about the current situation of his eldest brother, and at the same time he was distracted to notice that the star map on the light screen seemed to be distorted strangely, and the position of the entire route shifted a little silently.

...is it an illusion?

Out of safety considerations, Xiwell keenly checked the internal system defenses of the Pace, and was horrified to realize that at some point, the anti-reconnaissance concealment settings of the entire spaceship were disarmed.

In a dark cosmic forest, they stand out like a big piece of fat!The entire interior of the spaceship was tampered with by outsiders without his knowledge, and the system did not make any resistance!

It's almost like opening the door to welcome outsiders to drive straight in, as if entering no one's land.

Some cold sweat oozes from Xi Weier's back.If the data on the navigator has been tampered with, what about other devices?

... There is a pair of eyes monitoring here.

[Start the highest authority of the administrator and wake up Jupiter. ]

Jupiter is the offensive AI added by Rist to this decommissioned spacecraft, and it will not be activated at all in normal times.

[Permissions are met, wake-up mode has been turned on.Confirm tracking.Confirm to rebuild the protection system. ]

Soon, as Jupiter shot the tracking arrow in the virtual star network, he discovered that the spacecraft system had been invaded and was riddled with holes.

Jupiter obtained the authority and quickly found the traces left by the other party.Coincidentally, it is also a bow and arrow icon.

And the system began to rebuild the defense mechanism, and the red warning light finally began to flash rapidly, "Warning! Warning! The internal system of the spaceship Pace is under attack and has entered an advanced alert state!"

One warning window after another began to cover the original blue navigation pointing bar. Xi Weier lowered his brows and eyes, pursed his lips tightly, and went all out to fight back.

A line of words appeared on the light screen in front of him, and was quickly erased.

[E: I don't think of a dispute. The President wants to discuss with the Imperial Army. I hope you will stop resisting and accept the direction of the target. 】

"Damn—" Xi Weier punched the console.He has already realized who his opponent is... Iser!

The youngest colonel of the Federation Covenant, a five-year-old...artificial AI war machine.

No one in the empire has really seen what she looks like. They only know that Dr. Howard violated the regulations and created this "thing" five years ago. Since then, the empire's borders have been in crisis.

Because it is completely artificial AI, Iser can completely separate his consciousness from the metal body and turn it into a string of data to invade the star network.

She can roam among the starships of the Federation side, and can also invade the starships of the Imperial Army in reverse. She doesn't even need to spend a mecha, she is an army by herself!

[C: Get out of my spaceship. 】

Sivir tried to prevent Iser from misdirecting the starship, analyzing her source code and other confusing interference codes, and regaining control of the starship before she completely invaded the center.

Xi Weier tried many times, but he was still unable to decipher Iser's core position, which is almost impossible in theory. - As an AI, she's so cunning, almost more human than a real human!

He couldn't find the loophole she used to break in in the first place.

【E: Don't waste your time. If you don't want to agree, I'll get rid of you and start with the elector. 】

[C: Dreaming. ] Xi Weier gritted his teeth and knocked out the words of counterattack.

Iser is quickly cleaning up the traces left by himself, and at the same time mercilessly re-engraving all the data on this starship.

Although there is no real usable data on this spaceship, as long as it is manipulated to disintegrate and self-destruct, so that Xavier dies here, it will be a meritorious deed to the Federation.

At the critical moment, Xi Weier opened the reserved [Shadow Fang] signal tracker, and before Iser's AI flow was about to invade the core central control area and destroy the Pace, he quickly cut off the star network of the central control room. Link, found a breather.

[Shadow Fang] The system will track the location of all unconventional intruders, and once activated, it cannot be terminated.The next thing is what the Imperial Technology Department needs to consider.

Cutting off the star network can temporarily stop Iser's pursuit like a gangrene, but at the same time, he also lost his sense of direction.

To put it simply, they can't locate their own position and can't update the star field map. They are lost in the boundless sea of ​​stars.

"What's that on the right—" Luo Bai kept silent, afraid of disturbing Xi Weier, and suddenly screamed with a pale face.

Xi Weier's pupils tightened, and he realized that because of the deviation of the channel, they were about to hit a super giant meteorite.

Gritting his teeth tightly, he used the fastest speed to let the spaceship pass by the edge of the meteorite, and the orbit completely deviated from the direction.

In the huge sonic boom of "rumbling", the entire spacecraft slammed into an unknown asteroid at high speed under the irresistible gravitational force.The ship under his feet was shaking violently, Luo Bai followed the gravity and slammed towards the side, slammed into the metal wall, and lost consciousness.

………………

Because all the energy of the light speed jump spacecraft is used to maintain the light energy shield to offset the high temperature friction and huge impact of the atmosphere.After they hit the unknown planet at high speed, the energy of the entire spacecraft was exhausted, not even enough to start it up again.

"Fortunately, this desolate star is within the range of solar radiation. It can wait for two days to collect solar energy." Xi Weier helped Luo Bai who had just woken up, and helped him out of the twisted hatch. "When you save enough 1%, you can restart the spacecraft and replace it with backup energy."

He pursed his lips in annoyance: "Because of insufficient energy, the starship automatically turned on the defense mode, all the central data was closed, and the heating facilities could not be used."

Luo Bai tiredly rubbed his temples.The sudden shock gave him a slight concussion, and he still had a needle-like headache. He said, "So, what should we do now?"

The strong impact of their landing smashed the ground into a deep pit, and there were towering giant trees that were crushed everywhere.There should be a primeval forest all around, with trees as high as 30 meters covering the sky and the sun, only a little light from the sky through the gap they just made.

Xi Weier: "First observe whether there are any beasts around, and clean up the environment. You take this ray gun, just in case."

Holding the ray gun provided to him by Xi Weier, Luo Bai followed him into the depths of the forest.

The forest seems to be deep and silent. It is unknown whether it is a living body or a terrifying unknown creature that can be found on the desolate star.

The author has something to say: This semi-sci-fi plot is to pave the way for feelings, and it’s not a big problem if you don’t understand it.
