Future Crystal Crown

By the time Yau returned to his little probe boat, Ivan had already returned.

Not only did he bring back a boxed lunch, but he also brought an extra person back.

"Qiu, is he the one you're looking for?" Ivan came to open the door, pouting, and asked Qiu to look inside.

As soon as Qiu saw the back of his seat, he was immediately happy. That person was Amor.

"When I went to pick up the meal, I heard that he was also looking for you everywhere, so I brought him here." Ivan looked gentle, like a simple and kind big brother next door.

"Qiu." Amor turned his head and looked at Qiu, his usually handsome and unruly face twitched suddenly, his eyes turned red.

"Amor." Qiu hurried over.

"Brother, I almost didn't see you." Amor came up and gave Qiu a bear hug first.His face was painted, his arm was injured, and his left hand was wrapped in gauze from the back of the hand to the elbow.And the legs are also in a mess, the left trouser leg is cut open, and it is completely wrapped in gauze from the ankle to the knee.He looked embarrassed.

This life and death came so suddenly that even he, who was always nervous, couldn't bear it.

"How did you hurt your hand?" Qiu asked.

Amor shook his head. "To be honest, I didn't even see it clearly. When I felt the pain, the bug had already passed by me. Show you my communicator."

Amor took out something from his pocket and showed Qiu that it was his communicator.The dial is completely gone, and the base part is melted and glued to the wristband.

Qiu took it over and looked at it, surprised.

The metal shell was burned and deformed, and the speed and heat of this bug were probably at their peak.If this hits someone, it will be the effect of a burning cigarette butt piercing a layer of plastic film, which can leave only a piercing hole without bleeding.

too frightening.

"I removed all the traces on the spacecraft that could be sampled. I piled up a lot, and I will start the technical appraisal after two days when my hands are better." Amor said.

"Okay, let's do it together." Qiu nodded.

There is actually a lot to do.The three steel bug specimens that he had sacrificed his life to trap had been immediately transferred to other ships by the person appointed by Brother Feilin, under the supervision of special personnel.And the multifunctional detector he placed when collecting the specimen recorded every detail of the whole process from the appearance of the worm to the excitation to his successful escape.

Although it is only a few minutes, it is the closest observation record between humans and steel bugs.There are so many things that can be studied on those three guys.

"Qiu, eat quickly." Ivan handed the boxed lunch to Qiu.

As soon as Qiu saw the rice, he was also hungry, so he opened the lunch box, and quickly stuffed the rice into his mouth like grabbing food.

Both Ivan and Jack looked at him strangely.

"Hey, what did they do to you? Why do you express your feelings with appetite every time you come back from there?" Jack looked at Qiu curiously.

Yau looked up, looking at Jack while chewing rapidly like a little mouse. "I'm a little excited."

"Are you taken aback by their appearance?" Jack put down his fork.

"Hmm..." Qiu couldn't speak well, and continued to chew.

"I just said that those who are officials are pretending to be grandsons, putting on airs all day long, not to mention making others look uncomfortable and constipated." Jack said.

"Shut up." Ivan kicked Jack.

"Did I say something wrong?" Jack objected.Seeing Ivan's cold face, he turned to wink at Qiu and Amor: "You see, Ivan even dreamed of becoming a captain, and I'm afraid I would say that being a bad official would affect his future."

"Bah, are you guilty of saying that?" Ivan glared at Jack. "If I wanted to be promoted, I would have left long ago. Do I need to hang out with your shit for so long?"

"You haven't heard people say that the crops and flowers are all dependent on dung. If you don't have such a good subordinate like me, how can you show your leadership skills? Hey, I wrote the flight log today, don't read it anymore Me." Seeing that Ivan's expression was wrong, Jack quickly begged for mercy.

"Did you really write the flight log?" Ivan couldn't believe it and went to check the flight log just written by Jack, but after only two glances, he was ready to kill.

"Hey, how did you write this, can you make it look like a nonsense? Who flies backwards on long-distance flights? Look at what you wrote!" Ivan yelled at Jack.

Jack disagrees. "It's almost enough, and it's not an inheritance. Why do you write it so seriously?"

"Really, you might as well not write if you write like this." The more Ivan watched, the more annoyed he became.

Jack spread his hands: "I said I didn't write but you forced me to write, and you were not happy when I wrote it. You see how difficult you are to serve. Well, what's so good about being an official? use."

Ivan was so angry that he didn't want to talk. He sat there and deleted Jack's writing bit by bit, and then re-wrote the correct data one by one.

Qiu watched Ivan and Jack from the sidelines, and suddenly felt envious.

Ivan and Jack are like cats and dogs living under the same roof.One honest, one cunning, one loyal, one rebellious.There are great differences between them, but they can coexist harmoniously.Although there are disputes, quarrels, and various mutual dislikes between them, the tacit understanding that goes deep into the bones is their truest relationship.

That is the magnanimity and open-mindedness that only those who have lived and died together can have. Together, they are like a knife and its sheath. They depend on each other and reflect each other. No one can do without the other. Perfect again.

"Oh, by the way, Amor, go to 970.8 to show your face, everyone is thinking about you." Qiu thought of his anxious colleagues.The first time they boarded the ship, they couldn't be as calm as Ivan and Jack.

"I went up when you were not there just now, and Cooper cried." Amor said.

"Ah? Really?" Qiu didn't expect the tough guy Cooper to cry for Amor, the two of them usually dislike each other.

"Hey, yes. This guy looks tough on the surface, but he's actually soft on the inside." Amor also sighed a little.

On this maiden voyage, he passed by the Grim Reaper with lingering fears when he thought about it, and what is even more touching is that one accident is enough for people to see clearly who is their brother and who is the one who really cares about you.

While talking, the communicator rang.

It was an order personally sent by Lieutenant General Elson, the chief executive of the Ministry of Science and Technology. "Send me the steel bug information quickly."

The sender was Elson himself.

"He wants it now, so urgent, can you do it?" Qiu worried about Amor's injury.

"Okay, let's start." After all, Amor is a superman. Although he has been tortured and drank a lot of alcohol, he can still go to work immediately with his remaining physical strength.

The two of them didn't care about taking a break, so they simply divided up the work and started working immediately.

Half an hour later, the ship received an official notification from the military department from the fleet.

Right at Sig?At the same time that Lieutenant Colonel Horn's cruise fleet was attacked in the Beta Quadrant, a group of conventional transport ships on the other side of the universe also encountered the same attack.What's even more unfortunate is that that group of fleet was smashed into a sieve almost before sending out a distress signal, and the entire army was wiped out within a few minutes.

The monitoring station found that something was wrong and sent a search and rescue boat to find it.It was found that the fleet and its full cargo had been chewed into a pile of residue by the steel bugs, and the space was full of fine remains...

The tragedy shocked the entire human society, and the military department immediately received an order from the president, requiring the Ministry of Science and Technology to come up with a cracking solution within a time limit, and at the same time notify all the fleets performing the mission.Pay close attention to the enemy's situation and make every effort to prevent it.

Only then did Qiu and Amor understand why they received a text message from Lieutenant General Elson himself.It's not that the lieutenant general wants to leapfrog management, but that this air crash is far more serious than what they knew.

Amor is inconvenient with a broken arm.

While Qiu was busy with his own work, he also helped Amor.

"I'm done here, I can send some to the boss first." Qiu's work came to an end.

"I still need some time." Amol's injured arm greatly affected his work speed, which made him very angry.

"It would be great if it could make your arm heal sooner." Qiu thought that it would be great if Rogge's fleet was equipped with the kind of healing device they said, so that Amor could get better sooner, at least without delaying work .

"I said you two should sleep for a while, and it's time to eat again soon." Ivan on the bridge said suddenly.

Qiu was stunned for a moment, "Why did you eat again? I remember I just ate."

"It's been five hours, and it's time for Jack to get up." Ivan said, pointing to the time panel to show them.

Yau checked the time and looked out the window.The fleet has already stepped out of the first folding space, and the starry sky outside is getting brighter and brighter.Looking at the mountain of work at hand, Qiu sighed, "Amor, at this speed, we won't be able to finish it even if we go back."

"It's fine if you can't finish it. If you can't finish it, you don't have to worry about losing your job." Amor smiled self-deprecatingly. He had no hope for his progress.

"Command from the command platform, command from the command platform, please connect the detection boat to the hospital ship of the Fifth Fleet, please connect the detection boat to the hospital ship of the Fifth Fleet." A mechanical password sounded on the bridge.

Amor and Qiu stopped what they were doing when they heard the order, and turned to look at Ivan.

"Why did you ask us to pick up the medical ship? Are the wounded unable to let go?" Amor asked Ivan.

Ivan shrugged, turned on the intercom and asked the other party, and then turned to Amor and said, "Your Fifth Fleet Lieutenant Colonel Horn ordered you to change the medicine."

"He still cares about me changing the medicine?" Amor stood up in surprise.

Qiu sent out the first batch of data he had sorted out, and almost immediately Elson sent a few questions.

Qiu was taken aback, not expecting Elson to be online.

Instead of speaking, Elson spoke to Yau in written form.His questions were tricky, extremely detailed and tricky.

Qiu was in a cold sweat and tried his best to deal with it. If he couldn't answer, he had no choice but to say that he didn't know, and went to check immediately.

Like a questioning machine, Elson threw out questions one by one expressionlessly, and Qiu became more and more unable to answer them. Finally, when Elson's questions came to an end, Qiu felt that his brain was about to lack oxygen.

"I'm going to sleep for two hours." Qiu asked Ivan for leave.

Ivan nodded, "Go, go, your eyes are as red as a rabbit."

Qiu returned to the lounge, without taking off his clothes, fell asleep on the bed in the shape of Jesus.

When I woke up, my head was still a little dizzy, and I struggled in a daze for two or three times before I finally woke up.

Get up and go back to the workbench to continue working. Jack has been replaced on the bridge.

"Has Amor not come back yet?" he asked Jack.

"Hurry up, tell us to pick him up in half an hour." Jack replied. "Oh, your brother sent someone to bring it to you, you can eat it."

"Oh? My brother?" Qiu looked at the barrel-shaped packaging in front of him, feeling unbelievable.

Brothers actually let people deliver food to themselves?

"Your brother also told you not to eat what others gave you." Jack said blankly.

"Others?" Qiu didn't understand, "Who is others?"

"You ask me who am I asking?" Jack rolled his eyes.

After eating a good meal and working for a while, half an hour passed.

With the noise at the connecting door, Amor happily flew in like a long-legged grasshopper that had been injected with chicken blood.He raised his arms and yelled all the way. "Qiu, look at me, look at me."

"What's wrong?" Qiu looked up.

"Look here, here." Amor put his arms across Qiu's face, "Look, how good my arms are."

"Oh, really." Only then did Qiu realize that Amor's arm, which was wrapped like a rice dumpling before, had no gauze at all, and was as smooth and tender as a new prosthetic limb from the factory.

"How did you do this?" Qiu stretched out his hand and touched it. It felt like a real person's skin, even fine hairs.

"The treatment specially approved by Lieutenant Colonel Horn." Amor winked at Qiu mysteriously. "This healing instrument is amazing. All my injuries will be cured in a short time. It's faster than making cakes."

"Also, Qiu, look, these delicious snacks are for us." Amor put a large paper bag in his hand on Qiu's table. "Let's eat, Lieutenant Colonel Horn said there will be more after eating."

"Ha, it smells so good." Qiu cheerfully prepared to open it and taste it.

"Ahem, don't eat what others give you!" Jack reminded at the right time.

"Ah? Oh, yes!" Qiu stopped.

Only then did I understand what my brother meant when he said that he was not allowed to eat other people's food. It turned out that Lieutenant Colonel Horn was that "other person".

"Qiu, don't you want to eat?" Amor ate happily. "Lieutenant Colonel Horn also told us to go to his place for lunch at noon."

"Huh? Lieutenant Colonel Horn asked us to eat..." Qiu realized that this matter was a bit tricky.He looked at Amor and Pudding, thought about what Jack had conveyed, and finally swallowed. "I think we'd better get to work first."
