Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 20 Bubble
In her own exclusive laboratory, Wang Xueer is trying hard to adapt to the role of "leader" and assigning appropriate tasks to everyone based on the knowledge she learned in university.

Chen Xiaomeng and Qin Xu stood at the door of the laboratory. Seeing that Wang Xueer was very busy, they knocked on the open door.

Wang Xueer looked over and immediately felt a sense of relief.

She walked up in small steps and hugged Chen Xiaomeng. "Sister Xiaomeng, you are here. This is the first time I have organized so many people to work. I am exhausted."

As she spoke, Wang Xueer noticed Qin Xu next to her.

"Yo."

Qin Xu said hello.

"Are you still there? Don't you have a job of your own?"

Wang Xueer was surprised that while Chen Xiaomeng was busy, Qin Xu was the only one who seemed to be doing nothing all day long.

"Ahem, he, he is the soul of the Mozi research ship."

Chen Xiaomeng coughed awkwardly, attracted Wang Xueer's attention, and then said.

"Huh? What?"

"It's something like a mascot. It doesn't need to do anything. It's better to say that if you let him do it, it won't be enough..."

Chen Xiaomeng said it smoothly.

But when I thought about how many times Qin Xu had saved himself and the entire ship, without Qin Xu, the Mozi research ship might have been replaced by new people, I couldn't say anything anymore.

"Is it enough to be ruined?"

What Chen Xiaomeng didn't want to say, Wang Xueer said it for her, and she suddenly showed an expression of realization.

"..."

Qin Xu decided not to argue with children.

"Sister Xiaomeng, have you finished your work today? It's my first time to be responsible for running the entire project. I don't know many things. Can you teach me?"

Wang Xueer asked sincerely.

Chen Xiaomeng touched his forehead awkwardly, "Actually, I have a task today, and I'm very busy..."

"Is that so? Isn't your research on improving the deflector shield finished last time? Isn't it that you are given a new task so soon?"

Wang Xueer asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, I'm going to work now."

Chen Xiaomeng said still a little embarrassed.

"Then don't bother Sister Xiaomeng. You can go and do your work. I will take care of it myself. Goodbye, sister."

Wang Xueer and Chen Xiaomeng finished saying goodbye and were about to turn around and continue working.

Seeing Chen Xiaomeng standing there awkwardly, Wang Xueer tilted her head in confusion, and then the expression on her face suddenly turned frightened.

"Sister Xiaomeng, what's your score in biology in the astronaut test?"

"900 points..."

"Uh……"

"Oh, don't worry about it. Hurry up and assign me a task. I'm going to work. Director Wang Xueer."

"..."

Wang Xueer almost suffered a myocardial infarction.

After confirming that the space creatures currently circling excitedly around the scientific research ship had no attack power, everyone wore spacesuits and came to the top of the scientific research ship to have close contact with the huge space creature in front of them.

"Xiaomeng, do I have to wear this safety rope..."

Everyone went outside the scientific research ship. No one needed to tether, only he did.

"What if you fly out? It's not like you can swim back in the universe."

Chen Xiaomeng is like a nagging old mother.

"But, I have carefully studied this space suit and I know how to use it. I am no longer a new student, I am an old crew member."

Qin Xu was not convinced, so he demonstrated how to use a space suit to move in space.

"No, no, no, in the eyes of the seniors, you will always be the junior who just came in and knows nothing. Do you understand? Why don't you memorize the formula of the unified theory?"

"Ah? This thing hasn't been researched yet. How can I carry it?"

"Then you will always be my cute junior who doesn't understand anything."

Chen Xiaomeng smiled.

"Ah, I can't stand it anymore." Wang Xueer pulled Chen Xiaomeng over, "You two, don't go too far. Let's get down to business quickly."

Chen Xiaomeng's face turned red, "What are you talking about? I am seriously educating the younger generation who has entered the expansion period. If I don't talk about him, sooner or later he will suffer big losses due to small things."

"Yes, yes, you are right. So now let's go over there and conduct research."

Wang Xueer raised her hands and surrendered.

Everyone came to the front of the space creature.

After close contact, everyone has a real understanding of the hugeness of space creatures.

Without the constraints of gravity, space creatures grow so unscrupulously. Even though they may seem small compared to scientific research ships, in fact it is because scientific research ships are too big.

Compared with people, it is really as big as a small mountain.

Wang Xueer approached one of the fleshy and short tentacles, and the whole body was only the size of a sesame dot.

The space creatures were not hostile to the people who got off the ship. On the contrary, they took the initiative to move lightly for fear of hurting them.

Looking at the space creature the size of a battleship, Wang Xueer's eyes were already full of little stars.

This is what it dreams of, a dream pet that is extremely powerful, yet docile and has the potential to be tamed!
After everyone conducted some research and experiments on space creatures under the command of Wang Xueer.

"Red represents anger, blue represents happiness and excitement, white represents sadness, and colorless represents no special emotional fluctuations."

In the laboratory, Wang Xueer excitedly summarized all the data and began to analyze them one by one.

"It has a docile personality, has imprinted behavior and imprinted learning, and has the possibility of taming. According to the biological structure, the creature is still in its juvenile stage, and it is expected that it will reach the size of the Dawn cruiser in its final adult stage. No, that's just the adult stage. , it will continue to grow after adulthood, maybe to the size of a battlecruiser or battleship."

"What does Yin Sui mean?" Qin Xu asked Chen Xiaomeng quietly from the side.

Chen Xiaomeng said: "Some newly hatched baby birds and newly born mammals learn to recognize and follow the first moving object they see, which is usually their mother. This is..."

After a pause, Chen Xiaomeng said in one sentence: "It's the behavior of a little duck chasing its mother."

"It's over if you say so early."

"..."

While Chen Xiaomeng was trying to restrain his urge to throw Qin Xu out of the spacecraft, Wang Xueer had already compiled the report and sent it to the Earth Research Center.

This is currently the only physical material in the field of space biology, and its value is immeasurable.

Soon, news came from the earth.

Tame this space creature as much as you can.

After getting this order, Wang Xueer was so excited.

She wrote so much, so long, about how powerful this space creature was and how easily it could be tamed.

She finally convinced the big guys in Congress to let her keep this space creature as a pet.

For a long time, Wang Xueer led a group of people in the project to run around on the scientific research ship wearing space suits.

And the space creature was very happy to play with these little ones.

The transparent big head has always been flashing with blue light, which means that it is also very excited and happy.

During the continuous experiments, Wang Xueer got to know this big guy better and better.

She lay on top of the research vessel and watched the big, plump octopus spinning in circles in front of her.

My thoughts went back to my childhood.

She reached out her hand to give him a high-five, just like she had high-fived Runner before.

And this huge space creature was also very intelligent, stretching out a fleshy little tentacle to touch it.

Although this touch seems to be able to crush Wang Xueer to death, the opponent's tentacles are too soft. Even if they are fully pressed, Wang Xueer will only sink into the flesh.

Wang Xueer tried her best to rub her face against the short, plump little tentacles.

"From today on, you will be called Bubble."

Bubbles obviously couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but he could feel that Wang Xueer was very happy at the moment, and when she was happy, Bubbles became happy too.

The blue light flashed on the big head.

Paopao is the name of the puppy she raised when she was a child. Because the puppy died trying to save her, she, who loves raising small animals very much, has not kept another one for more than ten years.

Today she finally got her own pet again.

And no one can bully this pet, it is so huge and so powerful.When it grows up, it can even compete with a battleship.

Paopao's death ten years ago will never happen again.

Wang Xueer confidently put her passion for raising a pet over the past ten years into Bubbles, and played with Bubbles every day.

"I feel like this time the space creatures are only friendly with her and not with us."

Chen Xiaomeng said while looking at Wang Xueer who wore a space suit and went outside the spacecraft to play with Pao Buo every day.

"This is not normal. This is a job assigned to her from above."

Qin Xu said.

"Isn't it? It's great to raise a pet at public expense. In this way, her dream can be considered realized..."

Chen Xiaomeng said with some emotion.

"Then what is your dream?"

"I?"

Chen Xiaomeng was silent for a while, then smiled and waved his hands.

“Does world peace count?”

"It's a little difficult."

"...Are you serious?"

"Is not it?"

"..."

Chen Xiaomeng's head popped into Qin Xu's head, "You have a wooden head, that's for sure. You can't even take a joke, it's boring."

After a pause, Chen Xiaomeng looked at Qin Xu, "What about your dream?"

Qin Xu thought about it carefully and then said: "...can they all live well?"

"Pfft." Chen Xiaomeng suddenly couldn't help laughing, "What's life like... a dream..."

Chen Xiaomeng's voice also became softer as he spoke.

"Let's go and go to work. I suddenly got inspired by the gravity sensor technology."

Chen Xiaomeng suddenly stood up.

"So suddenly?"

"Sometimes, scientists have a sudden flash of inspiration."

Chen Xiaomeng casually wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked towards her laboratory.

Yes, living is not easy anymore.

Thinking of his father and the more than 30 people who died in Barnard's Galaxy with his father, Chen Xiaomeng suddenly figured out what his dream was.

In other words - obsession.
