Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 5
"Half a year?"

When Frege heard the words, he suddenly "thumped" in his heart, "Why do you say that?"

"Do you know why you fainted?"

"It's the effects of radiation."

"That's right," Noah nodded, "You should feel that the light time on "Arche" is more than five times that of a normal planet. "

Frege nodded slowly. Although his concept of time was messed up later, he still calculated the information at the beginning.

"Under the continuous high-intensity light, the radiation intensity on the planet has far exceeded the limit that your body can bear."

Nuoya's voice was still cold, "Compared to that intensity of radiation damage, the physical injuries are nothing."

She glanced at the nutrition cabin not far away, "Looking at it now, even injecting you with repair fluid can only relieve part of the impact. The erosion of radiation on your body has reached a very serious level."

In fact, Frege had considered radiation before, but for him at that time, the most important things were undoubtedly food and water.

What's more, in their industry, radiation erosion is a common thing, and the treatment is not particularly troublesome.

He asked this doubt, and Noah immediately replied: "If it is a normal erosion, then there is indeed a possibility of healing, and it doesn't even need to cost a particularly large price."

"But your situation has reached a critical point, and physical fitness is also one of the key points to resist radiation. I am even a little curious about how your E-level physique has survived until now."

Frege collapsed on the chair, he did not expect such an outcome.

"Only half a year..."

He didn't expect that he left that deadly desert after going through untold hardships, and even got a ship that looked quite unusual, but his lifespan was about to come to an end.

"Actually, there is a solution." Nuoya raised her head, "As long as your physique reaches grade C or above within half a year, radiation is naturally not a problem for you."

"C and so on..."

The first half of Noah's words made him regain some energy, but when he heard the latter words, Frege couldn't help but sighed again.

Judging from his current level of E grade, it would take at least 10 years of hard work to upgrade to C grade.

This is only possible, some people's upper limit of talent is there, and they will not be able to break through their own threshold in their entire life.

"Half a year is still too hasty for you, and now you have only one way to survive - taking the Gene Awakening Potion."

"Gene awakening potion?" Frege asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

"No wonder you haven't heard of it."

Nuoya raised her hand and tapped a few times in mid-air, and several windows popped up on the screen directly in front of her.

It was a blue-blue potion in a test tube. Frege glanced at it from a distance, and when he noticed the string of numbers in the lower right corner, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"1...1000 million star points?" A wry smile appeared on his face, "Even if you sell me, you won't be able to get so much money..."

"You don't have to worry about that," Noah said lightly, "It's just 1000 million, and there are still some deposits on the Amrodia."

What's the matter with this rich and powerful tone?

Frege's eyes lit up again, dare he hug his thigh?
"We are on our way to Solomon Starport," Noah glanced at the coordinates on the star map, "It is the largest trading center of the Galactic Federation, and the genetic awakening potion can only be found in the auction house there."

"I see……"

It was only then that Frege realized that Noah should have seen his physical condition long ago, and all of the present was planned long ago.

Nuoya suddenly shouted to the door, "Guard No. [-]."

As the voice fell, a silver-white mech about five meters high opened the hatch and walked in from the outside.

"Master Noah."

The mecha made a low electronic sound, and Frege took the opportunity to take a closer look at this giant machine that was more than twice his height.

Its legs are composed of hundreds of pieces of armor that are tightly fitted, and some delicate dark lines can be faintly seen on each piece of armor.

There is a large area of ​​the waist that is not covered by armor, exposing thousands of silver gears of different sizes meshing underneath, and the armor on the abdomen is pasted in the shape of abdominal muscles, which looks very powerful.

His upper limbs did not look thin because of his perspective, but instead showed a more exaggerated posture, like a muscular man in the gym.

Although there is no sharp point on the outside of this silver-white mech, in Frege's view, his powerful limbs seem to have the ability to tear apart any enemy instantly.

Frege noticed the pair of ruby ​​eyeballs on his head, and couldn't help being surprised.

Could it be... is it what I saw in that room before?
"This is the master."

Guard No. [-] glanced down at Frege, then knelt down on one knee directly in front of him, the red crystal prosthetic eye on his face, which was burning like a flame from hell, flickered a few times, "Guard See the master on the [-]st."

"Excuse me...ah no, please start...uh."

Frege scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Nuoya covered her mouth with a chuckle, and then she pointed to the location of the storage compartment on the ship's navigation and told the Guard No. [-], "Bring the box here."

"Yes."

After a while, he returned to the main control room with a blue suitcase in each hand.

Frege took the box and opened it, and inside was a whole box of high-compression energy crystals.

This kind of crystal is different from conventional energy fuels. After they are released by a special device, a crystal the size of a fingernail can release a hundred units of fuel.

"Here are 5000 high-compression energy crystals. According to the price of 9.34 star source points per unit of fuel, these two boxes add up to about 950 million star source points."

Noah explained, "Because the storage space occupied by highly compressed energy crystals is smaller, such chips are often used in the fleets of large chambers of commerce as emergency energy reserves, so their actual prices far exceed their original value."

"These 5000 pieces of crystals can be sold for at least 1200 million Star Points at the Xinggang trading center."

Frege's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the words. He had heard of this kind of energy crystals. There were hundreds of them on the previous Polops Explorer, but they were all put into the reactor as fuel when sailing in the subspace.

It was difficult for him to conceal his inner excitement. As long as his physique could be improved to a C level, he would be able to continue living again.

"Back to the previous question," Noah noticed his change, and continued with his arms folded on his chest, "If you report all the information to the investigation committee, do you think they will leave the Amrodia to you? ?”

Frege fell silent for a moment. From a legal point of view, he could only temporarily or illegally hold the Amrodia before he handed over the special taxes for the items obtained through exploration.

In terms of human feelings, it is even more so. The third survey team was killed, and the ship that returned with him will most likely be sold into star points, and the company's compensation will be distributed to the families of the members of the lost team as pensions.

It is unknown how much compensation he can get as a survivor, but he can imagine that the amount of compensation is definitely not enough for him to buy a gene awakening potion.

The most the Federation can do for him is to provide long-term medical services, but if they want to provide them with precious genetic awakening potions...

"Understood?" Nuoya relaxed after seeing his clenched fists, as if he felt the torment in his heart at the moment, "If you feel guilty, you can definitely pay for those deceased companions in the future. Some compensation."

"Before that, you have to find a way to survive," she walked in front of Frege, "as long as you follow what I say, within half a year, I promise to solve your physical problems."

"Thank you..."

"Don't be too happy, the 1000 million can only be considered as a temporary loan to you," Nuoya said with a vague smile on his lips, "In order to prevent you from turning your back on the account at that time, let me put the ugly words in front of you." ahead."

She pressed a few buttons on the main console, and saw a square opening in the center, from which a transparent ball the size of a human face floated in mid-air slowly rose.

"This is……"

The moment the sphere was raised, Frege heard the vague and indistinct cry before, and it seemed that this was the source of the strange sound.

"This is the center of the Amrodia," said Noah, pointing to the countless grooves on the surface of the sphere, "These grooves are used to store crystals."

"Every time a crystal is inserted, the ship's ability will be increased to a certain extent, and it will also have special power in a short period of time." She turned her head and glanced at Frege, "The materials you need to collect are exactly these crystals .”

"What exactly are crystals?"

Frege asked, frowning.

He had seen a similar description in his notes, which required him to collect any crystals of the "4-03 sequence".

"Crystals can be regarded as the root of supernatural powers. After killing supernatural beings, special means can be used to peel off the crystals corresponding to their abilities from their bodies."

"Kill?!" Frege's heart was beating wildly, "I can't do it..."

He is determined to be a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations, and killing people is completely against his principles.

"Of course, crystals can also be extracted from many natural objects," Nuoya seemed to have known for a long time that he would answer like this, and continued to explain without changing his expression, "such as ores, plants, and some items that are integrated into supernatural castings are available channels.”

As she said that, she suddenly smiled, "If you are killed, you will die. Sometimes even if you don't want to be enemies with other people, they may not let you go because of this."

Frege wanted to continue arguing, but Noah raised his hand to stop him, "In short, you only need to remember one thing."

"Every six months, you must collect a piece of random crystals. This is my condition and your obligation as the captain." She raised her head and looked at Frege solemnly. "If you promise, these two boxes of energy crystals will It's yours."

"I understand."

Frege just nodded.

Half a year is not long, nor is it short.

In exchange for the life-saving gene awakening potion, he has to agree if he doesn't agree now.

"Congratulations, you made a wise choice again," Nuoya's face returned to a smile, she pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the conversation suddenly changed here, "But there is one more thing I need to remind you. "

"As the captain of the Amrodia, your current quality in all aspects is not up to the requirements."

She looked at Frege for a long time, "Your physical fitness is too weak. Even with the Gene Awakening Potion, it will be difficult for your physical fitness to directly improve to a C grade."

Frege had an embarrassing look on his face. His physique has been relatively average since he was a child, and it is true that he can't keep up with nutrition. It is inevitable that he only has the lowest E grade.

"You must complete all the training in the future, if you can't do it..."

A dangerous gleam flashed in her eyes, and Frege shuddered at the sight.

"Make sure to complete the task, Teacher Nuoya!"

His "Teacher Nuoya" yelled more and more smoothly, and he was obviously unwilling at first...

In his heart, he secretly despised that he was a debtor, and he would not know how to be honest until he was beaten up.

"Just shouting slogans is useless," Nuoya stood up, "Follow me, I will take you to the training ground."

"Let's start with the most basic training."
