I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

After the "dark incident" that caused the two imperial fleets to fail for the time being, the investigation and repair work began immediately.

The power and network disconnection took less than 1 minute, and the temporary interruption of the gravity system and oxygen supply system did not cause serious consequences.

Just like the previous meteorite attack on human remains on Earth, there were no casualties in the incident.

However, due to the sudden power failure and restart of the energy carrying lines and repeaters, some parts were burned, and various abnormal garbage data appeared in the network system, as well as damage to the hull surface caused by the rupture of the force field and the impact of small celestial bodies.

Every time Lin Xu passed by Area C, he could see engineers and scientists hurriedly filling in nutritional supplements and fast food.

Although they were in a hurry, their mental outlook was not too bad. Heinrich did not reveal to them that there might be a high-level extraterrestrial civilization observing human beings, and there was no gloomy and unknown threat hovering in their hearts for the time being.

Lin Xu went to Heinrich to get a backup of the recording.

Several people discussed touching the metal recording box again to see what reaction it would give.

This experiment cannot be carried out again on the Victoria. Zhou Pingbo imagined that people would land on the surface of Saturn, far away from the Abyss Fleet and the Elan Fleet floating in low-Earth orbit. The configuration does not require any electronic components. After moving away, the experimenter tried to touch the metal box.

Heinrich vetoed the plan after thinking it over.

The celestial body attacked before came from the Kuiper belt, which is [-] astronomical units away from the sun. The Lord Ling was able to activate the gravitational force there, which shows that his monitoring and control range has already covered the entire solar system.

Saturn is not enough to escape his eyes.

If these two attacks represent anger and warnings from the Lingjun civilization, then they cannot risk a third attack.

No one knows if the next time it will be a catastrophe.

At present, there is no planet near the solar system that allows human beings to survive normally without relying on electronic technology products.

Lin Xu could only analyze from the recording backup first.

After he went straight back to the room, Xiaoheixiaobai followed closely at his feet. As soon as Lin Xu sat down, the two rabbits and cats couldn't wait to jump on his lap, and went straight into Lin Xu's arms, whispering softly. screaming.

Animals have more sensitive senses than humans. On the night when the dark incident happened, Lin Xu returned to the room and saw two rabbits and cats shivering and licking each other in the corner, as if they were extremely frightened.

In the next few days, their fear still did not abate as their memory faded, and they always wanted to shrink into Lin Xu's arms to find a sense of security.

Every night when Heinrich took them out of Lin Xu's arms, the two rabbits and cats would jump onto the bed slowly and squeeze in between Heinrich and Lin Xu like liquid cat cakes before they dared to fall asleep.

If Heinrich threw them outside the door, the two rabbits, rabbits and cats would bark so badly that even Ruth couldn't bear to hear them, reminding Marshal Chu not to abuse his partner's pets.

Lin Xu hugged Xiaohei and Xiaobai tightly with one hand, turned on the audio with the other hand, and began to record the content.

But the first sentence in the recording made him stunned.

"My dear friend..."

Is the recording also conscious?

Lin Xu held his breath subconsciously, and the pen and paper in his hand, which was supposed to be recording, stopped in mid-air.

"I don't know if you can understand this passage, but it doesn't matter, please listen to it."

Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

This is a message, not a conversation.

"My name is Karajan Sandora Beton, and I don't know what kind of life or existence you are. If you also use language to communicate, please call me Karajan..."

Then, a syllable is missing, and in the original backup, a rustle can be heard that was not later deleted by Heinrich.

During the one minute and 37 seconds that the noise lasted, Lin Xu recorded all of Karajan's self-introduction.

“…cream croissants…hot chocolate for breakfast…a shot of espresso…champagne or wine in the evening…”

Amidst the noise, Lin Xu heard several nouns one after another, and he distinguished the content of these nouns by using English, Italian, basic Latin and French roots.

Karajan still introducing himself?

Lin Xu's hand stroking the cat slowed down in doubt, Xiaobai raised his paw and pulled his clothes a few times, and he started to smooth the rabbit and cat again, Xiaobai purred comfortably.

"My favorite music, The Cathedral...although I'm not religious..."

Another two or three minutes of noise interspersed with Karajan introducing himself.

Lin Xu pressed his forehead, and the tense and anxious atmosphere was completely broken by Karajan's continuous cheerful words.

"...I have seen the isles of stars! There,

The frantic gates of heaven open to the voyager:

"Would you sleep in this bottomless night—

But I don't cry anymore!The morning light is so sad,

The whole sun is suffering, and the whole moon is bad.

Spicy love fills me with drunken stupor,

Oh, may my keel be broken!May I die in the sea!

..."*

Are you reading poetry again?

Lin Xu had a headache and played the part of Karajan's poem five times repeatedly before recording all the clear excerpts.

He continued playing.

"...I used to be a human being, well, if you can understand me, you are probably also a human being, and I don't know what age you are at this time. I kind of miss the story of being a human being, but it's not that I want to change go back……

"I told them that I wanted to walk around alone. They said that I was the only one who was so determined to come out alone, so they let me out. But the current situation is that the carrier does not have fuel. , I accidentally broke into the gravitational field of a stable binary star system and was trapped here for many years.

"There are so many stars in the universe that give off beautiful flashes, but there are more darkness than stars. After watching it for a few years, I get bored and ready to sleep. Before I go to bed, I set up this audio. If you hear , and understand, please do me a favor.

"If it's convenient for you, take me with you and go to the galaxy where you live to see the world. If it's not convenient, just throw me in the direction of the sun. I'll spend hundreds of years traveling through the solar system and get close to the sun. Ye Shibo and Yan Zibo will send out my location, and they will take me home.

"It's a pity that I can't talk to you in person, but I will bless you! Dear stranger friend..."

Suddenly, there was hot and humid steam on Lin Xu's cheeks.

It was Xiaobai who put his front legs on his shoulders, propped up his upper body to lick Lin Xu's cheek, Lin Xu touched its warm rabbit ears, and wrote the last word on the paper in front of him with a pen in his right hand.

This Karajan sounded friendly and congenial, and very jovial, without sabotage.

But Lin Xu and Heinrich did accidentally take Karajan's "carrier", which is what they called a metal recording box, out of the airtight safe at a distance of one astronomical unit from the sun.

Karajan fell asleep, but he said that Ye Bo and Yan Zi would automatically send out his location, and "they" would pick him up and go home.

"who are they?Where is home?What are Ye Bo and Yan Particles?

There are too many doubts here, what Lin Xu can barely deduce is that "they" did come to pick Karajan home, and at the same time, whether intentional or unintentional, certain actions of "theirs" caused most of the equipment of the two fleets to fail .

But humans cannot see "them," nor Karajan.

Karajan said he was originally human, and "they" were like Karajan.

The logo of the Eastern Region Base is printed on the carrier, so could they be the survivors of the base who exist in the form of "thinking"? When picking up Karajan, they left a sentence for Lin Xu and the others, "I think, therefore I am" , to prove that this kind of existence has come?

If the survivors themselves had the ability to come and go without a trace, would the person behind the scenes still be the Spirit Lord?

Will Lord Ling leave directly after helping the survivors, just like he did after helping the Ark Fleet and the Mermaids...

But judging from the nuclear|explosion remains left by the old base, the relationship between the survivors and the Ark Fleet will not be much better.

Regardless of whether the person behind the scenes is the Lord Ling or the survivors, there is no guarantee that they will not be hostile to the imperial humans who have returned to the solar system.

"Hey——" Xiao Bai felt that Lin Xu's strength in touching his ears suddenly increased, and he cried out in pain.

Lin Xu handed over the translation to Heinrich and talked with him about his speculation.

Yika and Zhou Pingbo were also listening. When Lin Xu talked about two unknown waves and particles, Yika tilted his head and asked, "Does Ye come from the surname of the owner of the notebook?"

Last name?

Ye, Ye Bo... Ye Shibo, Yan Zi... Yan's Particle!

Lin Xu's level of physics is still at the stage of popular science. In the past, he seldom heard physics terms named after Chinese. He didn't react for a while until Ika reminded him.

"There are some formulas in the notebook that don't correspond to the code anyway, but it looks like a mathematical description of a certain waveform."

Judging from the known information, such waves and particles are most likely to be the subversive physics discoveries of Ye Shanshan and Yan Yuan, which made it impossible for the imperial technology 3000 years later to detect them in the universe, let alone capture Karajan and Yan Yuan. Traces of survivors.

Ika contacted Ye Shanshan's notes and got some clues about Ye Shibo. Zhou Pingbo's level of theoretical physics was a bit weak, so he handed over Yan Yuan's notes to Ika, and he sorted them into the computer to mobilize the Abyss Fleet so that it was available. Computational resources are used for calculation and analysis to see if the existence of Yan's particles can be found.

In the following time, everything in the solar system was calm.

While the members of the ground investigation team who were not deeply touched by the dark incident continued to work with high spirits, Heinrich received a reply from the Empire.

The Supreme Military Council of the Empire said that considering the unknown threat, the expedition team was required to shorten the investigation time and return to the Einstein galaxy as soon as possible, leaving only communication satellites and reconnaissance robots to guard the earth.

At the bottom of the reply letter is the autograph and seal of His Majesty the Emperor.

After Carter heard this, he frowned and sneered, "They were scared out of their wits."

Heinrich glanced at him, but said nothing.

The return notice was issued to various departments on the grounds that the space environment was unstable.According to the investigation team, it would take five days to collect the inspectors, but Heinrich requested that the time be shortened to three days.

Yika began to analyze the contents of Ye Shanshan and Yan Yuan's notes at a faster speed, and each clue gradually became clear under the high-speed operation of the brain.

The connection cabin, Ye's wave, Yan's particle, and the phrase "I think, therefore I am" that Mianxia told him all point to one direction—consciousness uploading.

Yewsman waves and Yan's particles are likely to be the carriers of consciousness, but Ika has not been able to fully confirm the mode of action of Yewsman waves and Yan's particles, and there is no large particle collider on the Victoria for him to test the actual existence of Yan's particles form.

This is like the black box theory, guaranteed by His Majesty's oracle, even if he doesn't know what kind of mechanical device is in the black box, he can still rely on external operations to make the black box work.

But the Whispering Sect is not a secret religion that resorts to all the mysteries. They finally want to explain the truth that is close to the decree of the gods, so that the truth will be truly open.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Ika carried all the sundries on the workbench to the ground and put them away. After clearing the tabletop, he let out a long, trembling breath.

With his rarely sweaty hands he picks up the rush-made connector, his homemade connector with two parts, a headgear with a magnetic piece and a probe that sticks into the spine.

There are no connection pods and no holding fluid.

Ika put on the headgear first, climbed onto the table and got down on the ground, handing the probe to the programmed robotic arm.

"Drip—drip—" the mechanical arm started, and the reflective needle tip approached Ika's lower back.

The sharp object pierced in at once, and the intense pain made Ika scream, but the next moment, as all the programs started, his consciousness fell into darkness in the chaos, and the pain disappeared together with the rest of the body's perception.

Ika sees a magical world.

It cannot be said to see, the concept of "seeing" is attached to human visual senses, but consciousness does not have any physical senses.

Human language is developed on the basis of perception, and it cannot truly describe the appearance and essence of things beyond perception, but Ika’s thinking mode has not been completely separated from perceptual thinking, and he continues to think and describe like this subconsciously.

There are golden waves shining in time and space, and there are circles of ripples spreading outward in the waves, and Ika's chaotic consciousness subconsciously ran towards the center of the ripples.

It wasn't really running, but in short, he stumbled to the trigger point of the ripples, and when he raised his head, the soft white light in the center of the ripples dispelled the blurred white shadows in front of his eyes, and a clearer scene appeared in front of him.

In the center of the ripples stood a figure.

He was tall and tall, with elegant demeanor, wearing a white robe that draped down to the floor, and golden ripples spread outward from the edge of the white robe.

There is also a beautiful and smooth black waist-length hair.

Ika looked at the man's face along his long hair, and opened his eyes wide, "...Your Majesty?"

He looked at Ika and said softly, "You don't need to call me that, humans call me Lord Spirit directly."

The face of Lingjun in front of him is exactly the same as that of Lin Xu that Ika often sees, the only difference is that Lingjun is showing a soft smile that Lin Xu doesn't have.

But this smile was mixed with some surprise when Ika suddenly appeared.

But this will not weaken the divinity of Lingjun.

His pair of gray eyes seem to carry all the truth and wisdom in the world.

"Your Majesty!" Ika couldn't help approaching him.

But Lingjun raised his hand and put his index finger in front of his lips, motioning for him to keep silent.

At this time, Ika immediately shut up and looked around, wondering why he needed to shut up, and this action made him realize where he had appeared.

This is room 004 where Lin Xu lives.

Lingjun stood in front of him, while Dr. Lin was lying on the bed, eyes closed and sleeping, Marshal Chu stretched his arms around him.

Lin Xu fell into sleep with a calm face.

But the two rabbits and cats squeezed between Heinrich and Lin Xu were arching their backs in the direction of Lingjun and Ika, trembling, and growling threateningly from their throats.

Wait, besides the two rabbits and cats, how come there are black and white things intertwined...

Ika saw the tail of the fish and the dragon that were not completely covered by the duvet, and his surprised eyes opened like an owl in the dark.

Ling Jun was behind him and asked, "Have you seen enough?"

The author has something to say:

*The poem comes from Rimbaud's "Drunk Boat"

Ling Jun: Good guy, I want to see what kind of shitty man you found.
