Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"That Wendigo? Have you seen him? How was he then?"

"Yes, I have seen it. His mineral disease was quite serious and had affected his respiratory system, causing him to speak intermittently. Moreover, he refused my treatment plan at that time."

"He must be unable to let go of the people around him. He feels that he has to hold on. He must be afraid that he will not be able to get up after lying on the hospital bed."

"Yes." Alpha nodded, "Since that time, I have been thinking about what my purpose is for walking on the earth. Then, I figured out that natural disasters and ore disease are just one of the many sufferings on this earth. , and I have the knowledge and technology to bring about some change, so I want to do something.”

千:?,.寻'.;:'免.'!费!小:?':!说':"裙,!'2.;"?,5',:'5,5:.:.!9.,.??5"?:":3.,:0'?!:0　　“那你为什么选择了罗德岛呢？”

"I have heard some of your legends, you can understand it this way, and the experiences on the road later confirmed the plot of the story. You are an international medical services and pharmaceutical company, but your roots have been deeply rooted here. You can be seen in many places in this vast land, and what I lacked when I came to this land was this kind of resource. So I chose to contact and understand you, and I hope that the facts will prove that my choice is not wrong."

"It sounds like you came here from somewhere else."

"You may think so."

Kelsey nodded and didn't ask any further questions at the table.After the feast, she found Alpha alone.

"Can you tell me where you come from? South of the Foehn Hotlands, the other side of the ocean, or..." You can't come from the extreme northern ice desert.

"I don't know how you should explain it here, but you can understand that I came from heaven."

"You mean, from space?"

"It can be understood that way, but it is farther than space. I don't know if you can understand this statement. I came here across the horizon of the universe."

"I can understand..." Kelsey was silent for a while. She looked at the darkened sky and stars in the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window. If what Alpha said was true, then a lot of things could be explained.

"What's the world like over there? Can you tell me about it?"

37.Calm days part.4

Kelsey did not ask how Alpha came here, or why he came here. Whether or not the answer to such a question has no practical significance for himself or the civilization on the continent, and will only increase troubles.So she just asked what the world Alpha once lived in was like.

"It's really hard to describe what it's like there. The biggest difference from here is probably that there is no such thing as the Origin Stone under that sky."

"How wonderful it would be without the Origin Stone..."

"It's not good at all, Kelsey. You wouldn't think that my body has such high strength and adaptable weapons. These things are for space exploration and economic construction."

"Ahem..." Kelsey realized her fallacy. "If we treat too many patients with ore disease, it will give people the illusion that all the suffering on this land comes from the Origin Stone." Her eyes fell in from the window. The night earth retracted, and finally fell on the face of Alpha beside him, and what he saw was a slightly helpless smile.

“Viruses that appear out of thin air from the most advanced energy facilities created by humans, infecting living things and machines without discrimination, machines that are assimilated by viruses, careerists who want to ascend with the help of viruses, are born from the red tide of viruses. Alien species, and finally, the internal strife that still exists within human beings even at a critical moment of survival, Kelsey, you won’t think that it is a ‘beautiful’ world.”

"Sorry..." Kelsey didn't know how to take Alpha's words for a moment.

"It's okay, it's all in the past. The past is over. I didn't leave any big regrets before I left." Alpha looked at Kelsi's green eyes, "People always have to look forward. I still have something to do, which is a good thing.”

"Miss Alpha, just now during the dinner, you told Amiya the story of the fish belly. I think I can probably understand the reason why you told this story now." The chef pointed the fish belly towards the guests, which is a sign of aboveboard courtesy. , Alpha is willing to tell his past, he must be hoping to use his honesty to gain the trust of Rhode Island.

"Maybe." Alpha smiled uncertainly, but Kelsey noticed that she nodded slightly.

……

Farewell to Kelsey, Alpha returned to the Life Star. They were not operators of Rhode Island, so Rhode Island would not allocate dormitories to them. The cabins on the Base Walker were their home.

Alpha came to the bridge, preparing to process today's report documents on the captain's terminal. There were footsteps outside the bridge door, and Xu Yu found Alpha who was clicking OK on a large pile of documents.

"It's okay to build a docking interface with Rhode Island's ship-based information network system. I will mention this matter in tomorrow's meeting." Alpha snapped the last few documents and said, "I want to see Rhode Island." film works stored in its digital archive."

"Yeah." Xu Yu nodded.

"That's exactly what I think. Through digital networks, we can get a lot of valuable information. Speaking of this, I have asked Disel to crack the intercity network of Longmen. Using the terminal on our ship, we can now access Longmen. The network is in single status now, so we can’t upload information yet.”

"Hey, is it true?"

"Of course." Alpha made one operation, and soon the captain's terminal in front of him displayed the parsed Gantry local network. "Using the algorithm, the information on the network has been screened in advance, and Diesel built a simple If you want to find something, you can try the search engine. The network on the ship is open to the public, and you can search on the personal computer in your room or on the personal terminal issued to you."

"Great, please."

"It's nothing. Life without the Internet is quite painful. By the way, Xu Yu, do you want to go to the medical department in Rhode Island to sign up? There are many doctors there, and everyone is easy to talk to."

"Another day...I'm a little tired."

"Okay, rest early."

"Good night, Alpha, you go to bed early." After saying that, Xu Yu turned around and left the bridge. Alpha, who was thinking about today's conversation with Kelsey, felt a little strange. Didn't Xu Yu say that he was a little tired? Why did she The steps of his little leather shoes in the corridor of the ship, looking relaxed and excited?

When Alpha returned to the captain's room and lay on the bed in the middle of the night, he remembered this incident, "Desir, did Xu Yu search for anything after returning to the room?"

"Boss, your habit of peeking into other people's privacy is not a good habit, but I personally suggest that you pay more attention to the mental health of the crew."

"Did something happen?"

"She searched for a movie adapted from a novel. The movie tells the love story of a blind Liboli girl and a ghost ronin mercenary. I am on an intercity network relay in various countries, updated monthly, and quite authoritative. I found her own film review on the film critic website. She once commented that this work lacked plot language and was a bad film made of clichés and sensational plots, but..."

"but what?"

"But she watched it again, completely. And during the viewing process, she experienced a significant increase in heart rate and core temperature."

It's over. He has really sinned a lot now. Alpha sighed, "Hey, forget it, Diesel, supervise me not to do this kind of thing again in the future. Oh, by the way, also, remove the crew members who are not on mission status." The vital sign monitoring was also stopped, they are not children."

……

At noon the next day, Xu Yu woke up from a drowsy sleep, glanced at the time, and found that the lunch was still within the scope of the lunch supply. He took a towel to wash it briefly, wiped off the sticky sweat on his body, changed his clothes, and got ready. Go to the cafeteria for brunch.Just as she was walking down the corridor inside the ship, she heard a clanking sound coming from the direction of the hangar.

She curiously walked over to take a look, and found that Alpha was tinkering with something next to the old off-road vehicle chassis. A closer look revealed that she was assembling a brand new family-sized vehicle.

"Alpha, what are you doing?"

"I'm building a car behind closed doors!" Alpha joked, pointing to the folded hangar springboard. Now he is indeed building a car behind closed doors. "Longmen is a very big city, and our base walkers can't drive in, so we have to take you there." When I go shopping, I have to buy a car."

"Will you take us with you?"

"Of course."

"Ah, that's great... By the way, how was today's meeting? Did it go well?"

"The framework of the agreement has been finalized. In the future, the two parties will collaborate as strategic partners. Memorandums of cooperation in multiple fields have been drawn up. Forms of support and cooperation for two-way field dispatch have also been determined. Rhode Island will follow industry standards After settling the commission for the mission, the rest is a bunch of trivial matters. All of us have obtained temporary operator permission passes and can travel normally in all non-confidential areas of Rhode Island. I heard that there are also There are several Agor people, maybe they are from your hometown, would you like to find a chance to get to know them?"

"Ah."

38.Calm days part.5

In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed since the Life Star was docked in the engineering maintenance bay of Rhode Island. During this period, raw materials were constantly being sent to the hangar of the Life Star, and there were constantly Boxes upon boxes of equipment were unloaded by Rhode Island staff and transported to a cabin that was not yet in use.

During this time, the head of Rhode Island's engineering department, Ms. Lucille, was extremely busy. The reason was that Alpha complained more than once about the power pipeline of Rhode Island's facilities, which was not paid much attention to during the early restoration process of Rhode Island. In order to save construction time, the infrequently used parts of the pipeline system even had only one joint, which caused major obstacles to the facility installation process guided by Alpha himself.

However, the power pipeline is a part that is difficult to change on a super-large land cruiser that has been built. In the end, there was no way. Alpha could only rearrange the equipment production cycle, and then manufactured a small civilian-grade Nuclear reactor to provide stable and reliable energy for the newly installed pharmaceutical production workshop.

When Lucille saw the carrier truck transporting the two-meter-high and four-meter-diameter compact equipment to the cabin, she couldn't believe that it could stably output energy to drive an entire production line for a long time.Until Alpha added the treated water to the reactor's fuel injector, the machine successfully ignited and started generating electricity.

Looking at the dreamy device in front of her that could generate electricity by boiling water, and then thinking about Rhode Island's huge Originium power furnace, Lucille fell into silence - Damn it, the Originium reactor is no longer an ordinary waste. Must hit hard!

"Don't think about reverse engineering. Just think of it as the heritage of our ancestors dug out of the ground. Just don't touch it when it's operating normally. This is the monitoring manual. I have all the data that needs to be monitored. They have all been gathered in the cabin control station. When the time comes, arrange for someone to keep an eye on it. If there is a malfunction, just call me to fix it."

"Will this thing explode?"

"Fortunately, no. If this was a fission reactor, incorrect operation would cause catastrophic leaks and explosions, but it is a fusion reactor. Something went wrong and it overcame the magnetic constraints and melted, burning through the reactor seal. The shell will then automatically shut down due to loss of pressure. As a civilian reactor, its reaction density is not high. If all security measures fail, the plasma flow will only cause a fire."

Fusion reactors have many advantages over fission reactors. There are no worries about heavy nuclear radioactive materials, and there will be no long-term catastrophic consequences if something goes wrong. This is just one of the advantages.Moreover, this fusion reactor used to power the ground conservation area has been in use for many years, and its reliability is impeccable. The pipeline slots reserved in Rhode Island are enough to lay out its heat dissipation system, and its reliability is probably higher than that of Rhode Island's main unit. The engine is even better.

……

The weekend has come again. The ignition test of the reactor has been completed and the equipment installation is in a hurry. Alpha, who has been busy for a week without touching the ground, plans to take advantage of the weekend to go to Gantry to relax and relax.

"Koloff, do you want to go to the city for the weekend?"

"Ah, boss, after the simulation exercise, the guys from the A4 operations team invited me to attend the celebration."

"What about you, Petrova, do you want to go to the city to play?"

"I'm going to an event with Koloff. Boss, why don't you ask Xiaolu."

"Alina, do you have any plans for the weekend?"

"Hey, yes, I have to participate in the field first aid training organized by Miss Yaye on the weekend." Xiaolu blinked and thought for a moment, "Xu Yu should have nothing to do on the weekend. Boss, please take her for a walk."

So Alpha found Xu Yu, who had just returned to the base on the Walker from the main ship of Rhode Island. She seemed to be in a good mood. Alpha knew that she had recently met Wen, an engineering technical expert who was also an Agor, in the engineering department of Rhode Island. Di, the two of them chatted very well. They also met a few new friends when registering as collaborators in the medical department. Ever since Alpha gave her the necklace, she didn't resist communicating with others.

"Xu Yu, are you free on the weekend? I'm going to go to the city for a walk. Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay, I don't have anything planned for the weekend. Where are Koloff and the others?"

"Kolov and the others have plans for this weekend, just the two of us."

It could be seen that Xu Yu's eyes were shining with excitement.

In the afternoon, Alpha went to the medical department to provide assistance to a patient with acute orivirus infection who was admitted to Rhode Island. On the way back, she was pulled by a white-faced owl.

"Ms. Alpha, the white-faced owl has made a request, hoping to receive help."

"How can I help you?" The white-faced owl's way of speaking was very formal, which was related to her special ore disease, but after a period of cooperation, Alpha knew that she was a good girl who could stand alone.

"Hemo and Seria had a quarrel over the matter of operator Ifrit. White-faced Owl and Evefu hope that Ms. Alpha can help mediate."

Alpha and Ceria have never known each other before. After that arena match, they drank together at the shipboard bar in Rhode Island. The two had a good relationship. Dr. Hemmer was also working on projects at Alpha during his free time. I came here to ask about biological implants.Alpha knew that both of them had resigned from Rhine Life and came to Rhode Island. He knew that they had a good relationship in the past, so of course he hoped to help resolve the conflict between them.

"If I can be of any help."

"Definitely. The white-faced owl heard that Ms. Alpha will take Miss Xuyu to Longmen City this weekend. The white-faced owl booked four movie tickets for Saturday afternoon at Dagu Plaza International Cinema City and asked Ms. Alpha to take them to a movie. The other two movie tickets will be used as the reward for this commission, and I hope this plan can be approved."

White-faced Owl is such a good girl, so considerate, "There is no problem with me. I think Xu Yu will definitely be willing to go to a movie. But what do you think of Seria? I don't have the right position to invite them directly. Both."

"The white-faced owl will take care of the invitation."

"Okay, then I would like to express my gratitude in advance to Miss White-faced Owl for the movie tickets."

When they returned to the Star of Life in the evening, Alpha received a message from Seria. She and Helmer accepted the White-faced Owl's arrangement, and the two set a time to meet tomorrow morning.

"Xu Yu, let's go see a movie tomorrow afternoon. Someone gave us two movie tickets. Oh, and also, Seria and Hemo will go to the city with us tomorrow."

"Okay." Xu Yu smiled sweetly.

Later, Kelsey sent a request asking Alpha if he could use the base walker to help with a transportation trip.Alpha agreed. Diesel was watching the car, and it could even be unmanned. Rhode Island only needed to send a few operators to watch the loading and unloading of goods.Base Walker can transport thousands of tons of goods. According to the cooperation agreement, the transportation cost is calculated at [-]% off the market price. Thousands of tons of goods can earn tens of thousands of gantry coins by traveling more than ten kilometers, and this is cost-free. Buying and selling, why not do it.

The next morning, at the agreed time, Seria and Hemo came to the mooring bay and found Alpha and Xu Yu waiting next to the base walker.

Different from the image she usually wears in Rhine-charged protective clothing when she is seen at work, Seria today wears a khaki woolen windbreaker with a white T-shirt underneath and a three-layer pleated silk collar. Decorated with a decorative collar, the lower body is paired with solid-color suit trousers and loafers. The warm gray tones and simple lines reveal a unique and leisurely elegance amid toughness.Rose-red matte lip gloss, manicure in the same color as the tip of Vaivan's dragon horns on Seria's head, and a ladies' watch on her left wrist.It declares a unique texture that coexists elegance and firmness from the inside out.

Unlike Seria, who has a workplace beauty style, Hemer's outfit shows the unique temperament of the schoolgirl next to her. She wears a very clean functional-style side zipper top with wide sleeves trimmed with feathers. The side zipper design leaves plenty of space in the front, but she only hung a diagonally placed mobile phone storage bag with cute decorative paintings on the molle on the chest.Round-framed glasses are paired with a brown hairpin, and a canvas lady's handbag shaped like a book is held in the hand, giving off a bookish atmosphere.
