Thousand Kings II

The red alarm sounded.

Qi Zhao and Shen Yuliu woke up from their sleep and rushed to the bridge. They saw two groups of green dots flickering on the screen facing the console, blocking the sailing route of the Starfish spacecraft, one left and one right.

Shen Yuliu asked: "What is this?"

Qi Zhao said: "Meteorite group."

"A double attack?"

"Once in a lifetime."

"We'll hit it."

The prediction system of the spacecraft keeps simulating the routes, but none of them can avoid the collision with the meteorite swarm.Tactically, this is impeccable and perfect outflanking.

Shen Yuliu asked: "Is the time to witness the impeccable defense system of the starfish spacecraft?" As the latest model of spacecraft, the starfish's defense and attack capabilities rank first among small-scale spacecraft in the mercenary galaxy.

Qi Zhao looked at the continuous stream of green dots, calmly turned off the siren, and turned on the space jump: "If the space jump system provided by Chu Yinglan is reliable enough, we can wait until next time to test its defense system."

As the king of the mercenary galaxies, Qi Zhao is quite far-sighted. He purchased the space jump system and installed it on the Starfish spacecraft half a year ago.However, the subtle friendship between the mercenary galaxy and the Golden Lion galaxy made him doubt the quality inspection level of Chu Yinglan, the crown prince of the Golden Lion galaxy, and he never put it into use on a large scale.

He set the spacecraft to autopilot mode, took Shen Yuliu's hand, and walked to the rescue cabin.

Shen Yuliu was a little conflicted: "I don't want to use the rescue cabin every time I go home."

Qi Zhao said: "We should find an opportunity to talk to the leaders of the earth about how to improve space technology."

Shen Yuliu sat in the rescue cabin, fastened his seat belt, nodded and said: "I really look forward to them carrying eight large sedan chairs out of the atmosphere to meet us."

Qi Zhao slept next to him.

This is a two-person rescue capsule, which is stronger than ordinary single-person rescue capsules. It has a small console, which can be used to control the cape spacecraft or operate as an independent miniature spacecraft.

The space jump system is reading, and there is still some time before it starts.

Shen Yuliu grabbed Qi Zhao's hand.

Qi Zhao shook his hand backhandedly, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Even if the space jump system and defense system fail, with my technology, it is easy to drive the rescue capsule through the meteorite group."

Shen Yuliu patiently rubbed Qi Zhao's five fingers with his index finger one by one, and waited until the other party couldn't help but close his palms and wrap his hands in his palms before slowly saying: "Actually, you don't have to come back with me this time. .”

Qi Zhao's hand slightly exerted force: "Then raise your head to look at the bright moon, will it become a husband-watching stone?"

His wording made Shen Yuli laugh, but he didn't mean to correct it.Since Shen Yuliu took off the translator and used Cal, Qi Zhao reciprocated and took the initiative to learn Chinese.Now, both of them are accustomed to communicating in Chinese in private, and Qi Zhao's Chinese proficiency has surpassed most foreigners on the earth, and mistakes like today are also quite advanced mistakes.

Qi Zhao didn't hear his answer, so he couldn't help asking: "If you had to choose again, the earth or the mercenary galaxy, which one would you choose?"

Shen Yuliu didn't speak.

As the silence became longer and longer, Qi Zhao's heart gradually sank.In recent years, Shen Yuliu's efforts to adapt to the mercenary galaxy made him almost forget that Shen Yuliu was robbed from the earth.Perhaps, water dripping through stone is simply a fairy tale. For Shen Yuliu, his attachment to the earth and rejection of foreign galaxies are as firm as a rock and cannot be changed.

Shen Yuliu felt that he was holding his hand harder and harder, and finally said: "Choose you."

Qi Zhao was taken aback: "What?"

Just as Shen Yuliu was about to explain, the spaceship suddenly made a deafening roar and began to jolt.

The cabin was weightless, and the darkness, like pepper water, poured in from all parts of their bodies, aggressively and forcefully depriving the connection between the senses and the outside world, leaving only endless darkness.

Even so, the clasped hands were always holding each other tightly, as if it had become an instinct.

For more than ten seconds, it is like a sea of ​​water.

The spaceship slowly calmed down from the shaking.

The sound entered the ears again.

The screen reappears in front of you.

Feelings slowly came from the limbs, especially the palms tightly held by Qi Zhao, and Shen Yuliu slowly let out the breath held in his chest.As soon as he moved, his fingers felt the other party's forceful clamp, and the bones and skin of the hands they held were almost fused together.

"No matter how many times, I hate space jumping." Shen Yuliu said.This is also the reason why he still insists on not using the space jump even though he knows that it can shorten the journey.No matter how precious time is, he doesn't want to suffer, let alone the time spent with Qi Zhao is not wasted.

"I'll go out and have a look first, you stay here." When Qi Zhao let go of his hand, the skin of the two of them was like sticky glue, and it took a long time for them to separate.

Shen Yuliu looked up and watched him stand up.The straight and tight long legs, the broad and graceful back curve, and the tall and slender body form a giant tree, supporting the narrow space and making the surrounding air fresh and smooth.

When Qi Zhao closed the cabin door, he lowered his head, met Shen Yuliu's staring eyes, and raised his eyebrows: "Your expression is like a reluctant wife watching her husband go out."

Shen Yuliu countered with a smile: "Probably the husband forgot to leave the family allowance."

Qi Zhao reopened the cabin door, put his arms around his face, "Is this enough to settle down?"

Shen Yuliu said calmly: "Domestic violence is against the law, whether it is the earth or the mercenary galaxy."

Qi Zhao smiled and let go of his hand, pinched his nose, closed the hatch, and walked towards the bridge.

The spaceship moved forward in an orderly manner according to the established orders.The space outside the porthole was pitch black and peaceful, and groups of meteorites only flashed across the screen before disappearing.

Qi Zhao heard the footsteps behind him, and turned his head helplessly: "I remember I said that I want you to stay in the rescue cabin."

"I probably forgot to say yes." Shen Yuliu walked to him, and Qi Zhao hugged his shoulders.

"The quality of the space jump is not bad." The screen shows that the spacecraft is half an hour away from the earth. "After I get back, I want to order in bulk."

"I don't think so." Shen Yuliu said, "If it's really good, we should be standing here overlooking the earth's atmosphere. I think their products still have a lot of room for improvement in terms of targeting."

"So..." Qi Zhao already guessed what he was going to say next.

Shen Yuliu lived up to expectations: "We should ask for an adventurous wholesale discount price for immature technology."

"Good idea." Qi Zhao went along with it very unprincipled.

They parked the spacecraft on the far side of the moon and entered the atmosphere in an unremarkable rescue capsule.

This is the third time they have entered Earth in this way, but the first time they have been spotted.When two fighter jets appeared within the radar scanning range, both Shen Yuliu and Qi Zhao were stunned.

Obviously, they all rely too much on the technology of the mercenary galaxy, while ignoring that although the earth is backward in technology, it is no longer the era of farming.

Qi Zhao immediately chose to abscond.

Shen Yuliu touched her little finger subconsciously: "I have a bad feeling."

Qi Zhao glanced over: "You doubt my skills?"

"I doubt our luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhao increased his horsepower, instantly threw off the two small tractors behind him, found a secluded place to stop, and showed off his might silently.

Shen Yuliu turned a blind eye, turned his head to the window, and looked at the outdoor scenery: "What is this place?"

Qi Zhao called up the map of the earth: "I think it should be... a place called America." He switched on the local TV, and a tall, gray-haired old man appeared on the screen, standing in a straight suit on the podium. Mo Hengfei gave a speech, "The local residents look like this."

Shen Yuliu listened casually, his expression changed, and he fixed his eyes on the screen.

"what happened?"

Shen Yuliu said: "They call this man the president."

Qi Zhao said: "It seems that this is not a country that looks at faces."

Shen Yuliu looked strange, and said slowly: "But as far as I know, he should have been president six or seven years ago."

"He's back?"

"Not to mention whether the constitution allows it, the appeal of his comeback is probably only enough to hold a concert, and the venue has to be removed from the Bird's Nest."

Qi Zhao called out the local time.

2008 3 Month 15 Day.

After the initial shock passed, both Shen Yuliu and Qi Zhao calmed down, traveled around the earth with the spaceship, and checked the time of each place one by one, until all the energy of the Cape spaceship was exhausted, they had to admit in disappointment that it was not the United States. There is a problem with the time reporting system of the powerful country, and they are indeed in the past of the earth six years ago.

Shen Yuliu said: "Should I go to the mercenary galaxy to find Romani and warn him not to kidnap me in the future? Kill the source, and we won't be reduced to this situation." Indeed, if Romani hadn't been kidnapped from the earth If you leave him, he will not know Qi Zhao, and Qi Zhao will not follow him to the earth, so the situation in front of him can be completely avoided.

Qi Zhao pursed his lips in displeasure, and said after a while, "Or kill Chu Yinglan." Although there was no evidence, he and Shen Yuliu agreed that the culprit of all this was undoubtedly the space jump whose technology had yet to be perfected. !

The two looked at each other, and they both understood that what they just said was just a complaint.

Shen Yuliu stood up straight: "Well, to sum up all the science fiction novels I have read, what we have to do now is to maintain the status quo, so as not to change the direction of history and cause irreversible results. After all, there is no other self in my past memory The appearance of me shows that I am not asking for help from my former self.”

Qi Zhao said: "Of course you didn't meet me in advance in your past."

Shen Yuliu shrugged.

Qi Zhaodao: "You know you didn't meet us in your past, but how do you know if other people's past met us? We can't just stay here with nothing to do, right?"

According to the principle of the butterfly effect, maybe their stay here will also cause historical distortion.Shen Yuliu licked his lips: "Or, let's do an experiment."

"What experiment?"

Shen Yuliu said: "I'm trying to contact a friend to see if my contact with him in the past will affect us now. Of course, for the sake of our safety, it is best to contact by phone first."

Qi Zhao agreed unconditionally.

Shen Yuliu has only a handful of friends, and the limited numbers are naturally memorized.

Seeing him skillfully dialing the number, Qi Zhao said casually: "It seems that you have a good relationship with him."

The other end of the phone quickly picked up.

"Good afternoon, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, I'm in a little trouble..."

The other party asked: "Who are you?"

"You can't hear my voice? You should check your ears. ... Well, I'm Shen Yuliu." As soon as Shen Yuliu finished speaking, the other end hung up.

Qi Zhao, who was listening attentively, showed a smile at this moment: "I take back what I said, maybe it's not bad."

Shen Yuliu stared at the communicator for a long time, and suddenly said: "What date did you just say today?"

"2008, July 3."

Shen Yuliu smiled bitterly: "I know why he hung up on me."

Qi Zhao said: "Why?"

"Because I was sitting across from him at that time." Zhengzhu'er was sitting opposite, and of course the caller was a liar, such an answer didn't need thinking at all.Shen Yuliu paused, and then said, "But this phone call has also verified that what we do now will indeed affect the past, and it has already affected the past."

Qi Zhao suddenly understood: "Did you see your friend answer such a call the other day?"

"Yes, I remember when I said..."
