Chapter 291 Welcome to Parvatiga
Welcome, Your Excellency, Commander.

Mechanical voice, smooth tone, indifferent attitude, familiar way, familiar sentences.

It had only been more than two years since the last time I heard this sentence, but now that I heard it again, Xiuer felt as if he was in another world.

At this moment, he seemed to be back in the metal fortress again, as if he was sitting in the darkness again, watching the images while analyzing the purpose of the Zerg Queen, racking his brains to find that glimmer of hope in despair.

Everything is different. This is not a world of bugs, and Xiure doesn't have to stay awake for several days. He seizes every second to soak in the control room, just to obtain more information and strive to make the analysis more accurate.However, even though he has returned to Parvatiga, which is much safer than the world of insects, Xiuer's heart is still filled with joy when he can hear this familiar word of welcome again. Well, the joy brought by extreme unexpectedness.

It's so surprising. Xiu Er, who always likes to plan everything first, really didn't expect it this time.

Returning to Parvatiga more than two years ago, Shuuer's backpack was filled with mechanical equipment. Those machines used to occasionally make subtle vibrations and slight buzzing sounds when they were on the road, but since the confrontation with the Zerg Queen, After one time, even these signs that it was still running were gone. After returning to Parvatiga, it was like a pair of scrap metal. No matter how hard I tried, there was no sign of restarting.

Everyone knew that the equipment was completely broken and Wei was dead. Xiure also understood this. He was not the kind of idiot who didn't dare to accept reality and didn't understand what giving up meant.

Even if he accepted the reality, in order to leave a memorial, Xiuer still planned to bring all the equipment back to the Dark Moon Temple and display them in the empty Hall of Valor, which is the place where the Dark Moon Church commemorates the heroic spirits who sacrificed for the Church. Serious, very heavy, but almost empty. As for the reason, oh, it's too sad, it's better not to mention it.

However, this plan was stopped by Yulia. Her reason was very clear. If you take it back as a souvenir, she will have no hope at all. She might as well leave it to me. Maybe in one or two hundred years, I will accidentally Got her fixed.

Shuer really couldn't refute it. Although she knew that this guy had been plotting against Wei, and if he hadn't been afraid that Wei would beat her with tanks and fighter planes, he might have demolished Wei in the base, but she was right, even if she would definitely He laughed wildly and dismantled Wei's equipment into parts, but it was better than dying completely. After all, that was the only hope, although this hope was extremely slim.

"You are really a genius, Yulia." He stood stiffly at the door of the cab for a long time before Shuer sent it down. He shook his head and laughed, "Okay, you won. I admit, you were scared this time." When it comes to me, I never thought you could fix her in my lifetime, Dark Moon is above, I really never dreamed."

"Now I know that your investment of five hundred gold coins in favor is worth it. I spent a lot of time to repair her." Yulia's posture was noble and elegant, and she was not complacent at all because of Shuer's praise. , "Although it is very possible that the energy pipeline fuses due to energy overload, I am not sure. Moreover, the rules of the two worlds are different, and the concepts of energy pipelines are also different. In addition, the energy system must be converted for her. It is almost impossible." All pipelines and energy supply equipment need to be replaced, and all the capital investment added up is not enough for a hundred meals, so I should ask you for repair fees to compensate for my hard work over the past few years."

"Haha." Xiure touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

They are all smart people, and no one can hide it from anyone. Everyone knows that Xiure followed Yulia and Dak's words and agreed to treat everyone to dinner, so he was ready to be cheated. A harmless joke can fully satisfy everyone. It brings everyone closer together and further consolidates the feeling of sharing the same hardships. Even if Shuer is stingy, no, no, no, even if he is more obsessed with money than ordinary people, he is still willing to accept it. It is regarded as an emotional investment.

But five hundred gold coins is indeed too much.

Of course you can joke, but once the joke goes too far, it won't be that pleasant.Fortunately, Xiu'er knew that she didn't mean it, but she really regarded five hundred gold coins as change that was not worth fussing about, just like Xiu'er wouldn't fuss over one or two small silver coins, uh, one or two copper coins.Therefore, he didn't have any radical thoughts about this matter, but he still maintained a distant attitude towards her. After all, the concept of money was too far apart, and forcing a friendship would only increase embarrassment.

However, although she didn't say anything after this meeting, judging from her attitude, she still felt a little guilty and wanted to apologize. In this case, as for the past, why not just... Are you kidding me? How could it be possible? Forget it, five hundred gold coins, ten days of dry bread, carrying the corpse of the insect on my back, it took ten days to go back and forth between Shuangshan City and the Rose City. Although the whole journey was within the borders of the country, the cities were separated from each other. They were connected to form a safe passage, but in order to rush for time, he walked in a straight line all the way. Most of the time, he ate and slept in the wilderness outside the city. It only took ten days to exchange the loot into money.To actually cause the cutest sister in the world to eat dry bread and salt for ten days is unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.

Roaring crazily in his heart, Xiuer was calm on the surface. He patted the cockpit console in a familiar manner: "Long time no see, Wei. I didn't expect to see you again. I'm very happy. How about you?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, I am just a piece of data. Everything is running according to established procedures. There is no emotion at all."

"Hehe, it's still the same." The familiar answer made Xiuer smile knowingly, "How about it, can you project it?"

"It can't be done, Your Excellency. Without the relevant supporting equipment, the virtual body cannot be projected."

"Okay, that's not important." Wei's restart meant that a thorn in Xiu'er's heart had been removed. The lesson of never underestimating the enemy was still in his heart, but at least he no longer needed to regret it, which made him quite happy. There are more and more questions, "When did you recover? Why did you recover without telling me? I can keep the bracelet very well." "There is no contact order." Of course, a hammer cannot jump up and hit people on its own initiative. , Wei could not have informed Shuer without an order, but... when fighting the Queen, no one seemed to have given the order to deploy the particle defense barrier.

"I remember someone told me that the fourth rule of the control center is that you cannot lie. This should not be false."

The prompt light on the console flashed: "Without the support of a large number of communication satellites, data cannot be remotely transmitted to the output device, the communication line cannot be established, and the contact attempt is terminated."

It seems that this is the real reason. Tsk, Lian Wei has learned to lie.

"Don't look at me. I'm just an ordinary winged man. I can't make something so complicated." Yulia shook her head when she noticed that Shuer turned to look at her. "She doesn't have a manufacturing method in her memory bank. Even if she did, she wouldn't. The communication satellite she was talking about exists in the void of order outside the planet. That kind of thing cannot exist in this world. Maybe in the future, we can find a way to replace it with magic, but at least it cannot be realized with the current level of technology. .”

"That's not the question, I just want to ask..." Shuer glared at Yulia sideways, "Why was she put on the aerospace craft?"

"Of course it's work. Do you think it would be easy to have dozens of jets operating at the same time? Not only do you have to keep the hull balanced according to the real-time wind force, but you also have to fight against gravity to make the hull fall slowly and evenly. This takes an instant. It is impossible to perform a large number of calculations with the brains of intelligent creatures. Moreover, it is impossible for intelligent creatures to divide their thinking ability into countless parts to control all equipment. Human power will eventually have errors. This is normal, but when it is reflected on the aerospace craft, The error will be magnified countless times, and the result is that the aerostat will be torn apart by the power of its own jet. But Wei doesn't have this problem, for her, these are very simple."

"I understand the truth, but I just want to know why she was put on the aerostat."

"Hey, in order to repair her, I spent so many gold coins that a poor priest has never seen in his life. Shouldn't I let her work for me as compensation? Moreover, where do you think the energy to support her operation comes from? Come on, they are all separated from the aerospace craft. Her mere existence doubles the energy consumption. It’s okay if you don’t put her here. Put her somewhere, even if you put her in the Dark Moon Saint Temple, can you, a poor man like you, who cried bitterly for five hundred gold coins (where did I cry) and borrowed money, afford it? You can't just shut her down, it's like waking her up and forcing her into a small dark room. It's the same as being imprisoned, tsk tsk. Fortunately, Moria is not here, otherwise she would have found a topic to attack again. Instead of playing the incarceration game with her, it's better to let her work for me. As a reward, I can also add high-grade lubricant to her. .”

"Sure enough, you, a black-hearted employer, do such a heavy and boring job, just add some lubricating oil as payment? The wealth of your Gilceles family is based on such a calculation, right?"

"That's right. Otherwise, where do you think the wealth comparable to an empire came from? Was it a gift from the Lord of the Sky?"

The contradiction between poverty and wealth is indeed irreconcilable. It is a sad fact.

After a fierce conflict between the rich and the poor, the situation was finally under control, and the two stopped messing around. Shuer patted the console thoughtfully: "According to what you said, it seems that the aerostat cannot be copied for the time being. Already?"

"It saves trouble to talk to you." Yulia nodded. "Although Wei's computing power is strong, it is limited by the equipment and can be used less than one thousandth. In addition, there is no communication support, so she can only control If a ship wants more aerostats, it must have more existences like Wei, otherwise everything is empty talk."

"Oh, then I understand the meaning of the Lord of the Sky and you, and we will talk about the details after the arrival of the Archbishop of the Sky Temple." Xiu Er smiled, stroked the console and said, "Actually, this is welcome. The words should be spoken by me, hehe, welcome to the world of Parvatiga, my friend, congratulations on your successful recovery of consciousness. Knowing that you are still alive and well taken care of, then I can rest assured, work hard, I will visit you often."

"This is the first time I've heard someone describe planning a free ride on an aerostat as something so fresh and refined. You're really extraordinary."

"Of course, five hundred gold coins on top, do you still have the nerve to charge me for the shipping fee?"

"That's good, that's good."

Boom, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the aerostat took off.
