Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 19 Space Biological Research
"What's wrong?"

Chen Xiaomeng was a little confused, and Wang Xueer looked unhappy.

"Paopao was my best friend. Unfortunately, he died trying to save me when I was in sixth grade."

"save you?"

"Well, he is a brave dog. If it weren't for him, I might have died... Alas, after that, I never had a pet again."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy. Just when Chen Xiaomeng didn't know what to say, Wang Xueer suddenly took a deep breath and puffed up her chest and said: "That's why I chose the super unpopular major of space biology. I know. Why?"

"Why, why?"

"Because if space creatures exist, they must be super powerful organisms. In this way, they will not make the same mistakes as running away."

"You don't want to keep space creatures as pets, do you?"

Chen Xiaomeng said in surprise.

"Ok!"

Wang Xueer straightened her chest and nodded, looking like she was awesome.

It seems that Paopao's death was such a blow to Wang Xueer that she always wanted a more powerful creature as a pet.

And apparently possible space creatures are some of the most powerful.

"Your idea is really bold, but I believe your dream can be realized!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Xiaomeng and Wang Xueer said hello and went back to their rooms.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Xu looking through his suitcase.

"what?!"

"Ah? Ah what?"

"Didn't you go to the Space Army? What are you doing when you come back?"

Chen Xiaomeng said.

"Of course I don't worry about you. I'm not with you. What if you die?"

Qin Xu took out the second volume of One Hundred Thousand Whys from Chen Xiaomeng's box.

"Also, last time you said you would give me the next volume of One Hundred Thousand Whys, but it turned out to be just talk?"

Chen Xiaomeng bit her lip, then turned away with a groan, "Why don't you trust me? I don't trust you. Without me, a senior, to look after you, you don't know how many jokes you would make."

After saying that, Chen Xiaomeng was silent for a while, and handed the third volume, fourth volume, and fifth volume of One Hundred Thousand Whys into Qin Xu's hands.

The book in Qin Xu's hand was pushed higher and higher, and higher and higher...

"Wait, wait, there are too many, too many, I can't finish them all..."

"And here's an astronomical telescope for you. You can look at the stars outside the window when you have nothing to do. Curiosity is the best teacher. You need to study hard now and also cultivate curiosity. Do you understand? Keep your head down. It’s hard to learn well by studying hard.”

"I know, Xiaomeng."

"Call me senior."

"..."

In the Ideal City Space Station, the Mozi scientific research ship slowly left the port.

In the distance, over a planet whose entire surface was completely covered by urban buildings, a dozen frigates circled the planet and conducted orbital bombardments on it day after day.

As for how long it will take for this kind of bombing to eliminate these tens of billions of deformed monsters, God only knows.

Therefore, the United Nations' plan to move its headquarters was completely shelved. After a long time of work, it turned out that it had to go back to Alpha Planet to continue the work.

Hu Yiyi, who woke up from a coma, was honorably reinstated and once again served as the governor of Alpha Planet.

Hu Yiyi herself had a question mark on her face. Hasn't she always been the governor of Alpha Planet?Why didn't she know when he was dismissed?

After the doctor's diagnosis, it was confirmed that her body had deleted all memories related to Ideal City due to some kind of protective mechanism.

Yu Minghai felt very guilty, hugged Hu Yiyi and comforted her for a long time.Finally, Chen Xiaomeng was asked to communicate with her to treat her heart ailments.

Hu Yiyi was baffled throughout the whole process.

Finally, after confirming that Hu Yiyi had no personality changes or physical discomfort other than protective amnesia, Yu Minghai finally let go of what he had been worrying about.

On the other side, after talking to Hu Yiyi on the phone, Chen Xiaomeng felt much better.

Hu Yiyi is always so cheerful, lively and infectious. She has always been the pistachio in the dormitory. If anyone is unhappy, talk to her, she can always make you happy.

Chen Xiaomeng, who was just amused, fell silent again after hanging up the communication.

Lively, cheerful, optimistic and infectious.

How happy could the childhood of a person who was directly frightened into protective amnesia by seeing a group of deformed monsters be?

If you have an unhappy childhood, how can you have a cheerful and lively personality?

This is simply paradoxical.

In the past, Chen Xiaomeng just thought that Hu Yiyi's situation was just like some people being afraid of snakes and others being afraid of spiders. It was normal.

After experiencing this incident, Chen Xiaomeng began to have a deeper understanding of Hu Yiyi's cheerfulness and liveliness.

But if she didn't say anything, Chen Xiaomeng wouldn't get to the bottom of it.

"How is Hu Yiyi's situation?"

Qin Xu asked from the side.

Chen Xiaomeng sighed, "Brain-protective amnesia, also called selective forgetfulness. Come to think of it, Hu Yiyi's childhood was actually not easy... Her cheerfulness and liveliness were probably just her protective color. After all, if it was true, He is so cheerful and lively, how could he have protective amnesia?"

"It's okay, it will get better slowly."

Seeing that Chen Xiaomeng was not in a good mood, Qin Xu stepped forward to comfort him.

It really made her feel uncomfortable when something like this happened to her best friend. Chen Xiaomeng snuggled next to Qin Xu for a while, and it took a long time before she regained her composure.

At the entrance to the hyperspace channel leading from the Ideal City galaxy to the next unknown galaxy, the hyperspace engine of the Mozi research ship started and disappeared into the galaxy in the blink of an eye.It's another unknown galaxy, but the difference is that the crew of the Mozi has gone through a major change.

It was Wang Xueer's first time in space, and she kept looking at the scenery outside the window all day long, while Chen Xiaomeng played the role of a senior very well and taught Wang Xueer many things.

"By the way, what's the relationship between senior Chen Xiaomeng and senior Qin Xu? It seems to me that you two are together all day long."

Wang Xueer blinked her innocent big eyes.

"Ahem." Chen Xiaomeng coughed awkwardly, "I think we should continue to discuss the topic of space creatures..."

"I am senior's bodyguard."

Qin Xu said seriously.

"Hehe, you are the flower protector, right? But I can understand it. After all, Sister Xiaomeng is indeed very beautiful. Right, Sister Xiaomeng?"

Wang Xueer looked at Chen Xiaomeng with a smile.

Qin Xu looked at Chen Xiaomeng, and then nodded seriously.

"..."

Looking at these two living treasures, Chen Xiaomeng suddenly felt a headache.

"When an abnormality is discovered, D-class astronaut Wang Xueer immediately goes to the captain's room. D-class astronaut Wang Xueer goes to the captain's room immediately."

The broadcast in the ship suddenly sounded, and Wang Xueer, who was just a newcomer, immediately became nervous and looked at Chen Xiaomeng with eyes that were asking for help.

Chen Xiaomeng was also a little confused, but she didn't show it at this time. She smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll go with you to see what's going on."

In the captain's command room of the Mozi, Su Lixuan was standing upright with a military posture.

Wang Xueer staggered up and saluted, Su Lixuan smiled and waved his hand, "The rules of our scientific research ship are not as strict as those of the army, just relax."

Wang Xueer nodded nervously and continued to stand upright behind her.

"If I remember correctly, Wang Xueer, you should have graduated from aerospace biology, right?"

Su Lixuan asked.

"Yes."

"Well then, I'll leave the research on this thing to you."

"what?"

Wang Xueer looked confused, and Su Lixuan stepped back from Wang Xueer's eyes.

In front of the wide glass in the captain's command room, a huge space creature was slowly moving laterally in front of the scientific research ship.

"This is!"

Wang Xueer rushed forward, her previous restraint completely disappearing at this moment.

She pressed herself against the huge glass of the command room, carefully observing the space creature that looked like an octopus.

Behind the huge oval head, six fleshy little tentacles were grabbing hard and circling around the front of the research ship, feeling as excited as if they had found their mother.

The outer layer of the huge oval head is transparent, and inside is a blue air bag-like thing, and the head bulges.

If you look carefully, you can see that the color on the head can change.

"Captain, what is this?"

Chen Xiaomeng looked at Su Lixuan.

Su Lixuan smiled and shook his head, "This little thing has been following us since we entered this galaxy. 550A has evaluated its combat effectiveness and currently does not have any attack methods, so I asked the spacecraft to slow down. I didn't expect it to be really excited. The ground started rolling around us.”

"Does this mean we are its mothers?"

Qin Xu also walked over curiously. This was the first time they had encountered space creatures since their expedition. It felt very novel.

"Anyway, the galaxy has been explored so much, and studying space creatures is also a study. During this time, we will stay here temporarily."

Su Lixuan kept standing in a straight military posture, looking at Wang Xueer who was also circling the other side excitedly, and said to him with a smile.

"Wang Xueer, today we start a research project on space creatures. You are the leader of the project and will lead other biologists to study together. Are there any questions?"

Wang Xueer was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Me, can I? I'm just new here, and I have a lot of things..."

"It's okay, everyone is starting from a newcomer. And you are an expert in space biology. Without you pointing out the general direction of their research, the people who study planetary life don't know how to deal with space life."

Su Lixuan said with relief.

Chen Xiaomeng walked over and patted Wang Xueer on the shoulder.

The stunned Wang Xueer was so slapped, she immediately jumped up to salute and said loudly: "Yes, sir, Wang Xueer promises to complete the mission!"

silence……

Wang Xueer saw that everyone around her was looking at her with strange eyes, and she couldn't help but timidly muttered: "This is how it is played in the TV series..."

"Haha, Xiao Wang still doesn't regard us as his own."

"This is not because Second Lieutenant Su's military temperament is so outstanding."

"When I first came here, I was overwhelmed by Second Lieutenant Su's aura. Now I dare to joke with him, haha."

Hearing the laughter of others in the command room, Second Lieutenant Su, who had been standing upright, had a helpless smile on his slightly older face.

He waved his hand and said, "I have been a soldier for too long and cannot change."

Looking at the nervous Wang Xueer, Su Lixuan smiled and said: "Xiaoxue, this is a scientific research ship, not an army. Just be casual."

"Yes, yes, sir!"

The reserved Wang Xueer saluted again, then realized something and put her hand down in embarrassment.

"Hahaha……"

For a time, the scientific research ship was filled with joy.
