interstellar involution king

Chapter 44 Almost Forgot Someone

With space locators, space flight has become a very simple matter, and the autopilot mode can take care of more than 95% of daily work.

So, after the spacecraft left the airspace of Gold Mine Island, the two relaxed.

Lin Yuan slumped on the chair, raised his head, and stared blankly at the gold mine island that had turned into a blurred spot of light outside the porthole, but in his heart he was recalling the major events that happened after the crossing.

He always felt as if he had forgotten something, but recently he was so busy that he was dizzy, and his mind was filled with a large number of formula drawings, and when he suddenly thought about it, he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Lin Yuan, I'm going to take a shower. Take care of me."

Zheng Wan's voice came from beside her ear.

"Go."

These days in the workshop, Zheng Wan is doing a lot of tedious manual work, and the air conditioner is not strong enough. She is often sweating profusely, but because of the strict water-saving policy, she cannot take a shower. She must be suffocated.

Lin Yuan continued to think back.

Lying on the chair, unable to remember, while the spaceship was still accelerating, he simply stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes wandering aimlessly around the objects in the cabin.

Turning around, I found something that was incompatible with the environment of the cabin.

A boxy gadget wrapped in conductive paper was stuffed in the small grid next to the water dispenser.

"It was her!"

Lin Yuan finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He forgot Linglong, the abyssal soul dweller, in the master machine!
Ever since the spaceship left Desolate Star, Linglong was too noisy and muted the master phone, and he ignored her again.

Later, when Lee Byron boarded the boat, he even hid the old machine in a dark corner.

This hiding took more than half a month, that is, when the Hope was refitted, Lin Yuan took her out again.

But at that time, the rental period of the workshop was only 4 days, and time is money, so after taking it out, it was stuffed into the main control cabin of the New Asterisk, and then turned around to do other things.

"Well, this guy must be exhausted after being bored in the classic phone for so many days."

Linglong's affairs always had to be resolved.Either wipe it cleanly, or let it go, and shut people up for decades without any reason, that would be too wicked.

After careful consideration, Lin Yuan first entered a simple command into the main control brain.

A few seconds later, an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency appeared in the cabin. The power is not strong and has no effect on the human body, but it may not be necessary for certain forms of life.

Afterwards, he picked up the classic machine and turned on the speaker of the machine through the conductive paper.

'Dip~ Silent mode has been cancelled. '

As soon as it was turned on, there was a serious conversation between the two children in the machine.

"who are you?"

"I'm Linglong."

"What are you doing here?"

"Come and get back what's mine!"

"What are your things?"

"My thing is a plush doll!"

It's a scene from the TV series "Goddess Linglong". It's obvious that Linglong is watching a drama to pass the time.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that you are very leisurely."

As soon as the words fell, the TV series stopped abruptly. After three seconds of silence, Linglong's roar exploded in the cabin like the roar of a tigress.

"Lin Yuan, you bastard! You caused me to watch a bad drama three times!"

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to say more, Linglong started a stormy greeting from Zu'an, from Lin Yuan's 38 generations of ancestors, down to Lin Yuan's 38 generations of descendants who were far from being born, she greeted them one by one.

"What's the sound?" The sound of water in the shower paused, and Zheng Wan asked.

"It's Linglong, I turned on the horn."

"Oh, then you can ask for good luck." Zheng Wan smiled gloatingly.

Linglong was furious, and Lin Yuan could only wait patiently for her to vent.

It took a full 10 minutes before the opponent stopped cursing.

"Are you comfortable?"

"Comfortable."

"Negotiate something with you."

"Either kill me or let me go, and don't talk about other things!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I'll tell you some news, the current water price of Gold Mine Island is as high as 16 star crystals per kilogram."

Linglong was startled: "It's so high, so you collected so much water last time, didn't you make a lot of money?"

"Not much, I earned more than 200 million yuan."

"Lin Yuan, the tone of your words is really embarrassing! But having said that, 200 million is really not that much, and you can't even afford a better spaceship."

Linglong quickly regained her composure. From the details of the past few conversations, it can be seen that this guy should have seen the big world when he was a human being.

Lin Yuan smiled lightly: "So this time, we have greatly updated our equipment and bought a new spacecraft. We plan to collect at least 1000 tons of water from the barren star. At present, we are already on our way to the barren star."

"Heh~ You're taking a long step, but everyone in Nanli Country has squeezed their heads and climbed up. When they see some opportunities, they jump up like flies seeing rotten meat. Be careful not to be a rich man, but to risk your life." lost."

Having said that, Linglong's tone softened significantly.

Lin Yuan said again: "Only Zheng Wan and I are doing the water collection. We really don't have enough manpower. We need more helpers, not only to help collect water, but also to help guard the water collection base."

"Hey, where is the kitten, isn't she here?"

"Take her to school."

"Oh, you are very kind."

After a pause, Linglong said: "I understand, you want me to encourage those idiots who eat radiation dust to help you collect water?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's exactly what it means."

Linglong giggled, and there was a hint of puzzlement in the laughter: "Lin Yuan, when I asked you to be my subordinate, you refused to die. Now it's good, you come to me to cooperate, so you won't be afraid that I will go back on my word. Is it because of your wishful thinking that you lost all your money?"

Lin Yuan held the classic phone and returned to his seat and lay down again: "The situation is different. Back then we were struggling on the verge of death. If I wanted to be your subordinate, I would become your slave. Now, we can cooperate fairly. , I am not worried about your betrayal."

"Are you so confident? Do you really think you can beat me?" Linglong's self-esteem was greatly hurt.

Lin Yuan was too lazy to continue to argue on this topic, he went straight to the point: "My condition is, no matter what method you use, as long as you help me mine a kilogram of water that passes the quality standard, I will give you 1.4 star crystals."

This price is not casually stated, but has been carefully calculated.At this price, it is equivalent to giving up one-tenth of the profit of water mining.

Of course, if Linglong is willing to cooperate, the efficiency of water harvesting can be greatly improved, saving a lot of time and energy, and he will only make more money than before.

Linglong sneered suddenly: "You really think I'm being taken advantage of. The price of 16 kg of water is 10 star crystals. Let me calculate your profit of 8.6 star crystals. If you earn 1.4, I will earn [-]?"

"You can't say that, you are only responsible for digging water. Not only do I have to transport so much water away from the deserted star, but I also have to fight with the star robbers. Equipment, risks, energy consumption, sales, all these are all for me. Make more money, Is it normal too?"

"Star Pirates. Are there many Star Pirates?"

"Otherwise, where would such a high water price come from?"

"Well~~~ According to what you say, it's still fair. But, aren't you worried that I won't collect water and instead take the opportunity to run away?"

"You just run. As you said, Nanli Country is highly competitive in all fields, and such great opportunities for development are rare. If you don't want it, I will train other nuclear energy cells. There are always smart nuclear energy people willing to cooperate with me .Maybe the cost is even lower.”

Before she finished speaking, Linglong said, "If you keep your word, I'll do it!"

There is no doubt that Lin Yuan is a jerk.

But the star crystal is a good thing.With enough star crystals, she can get real freedom.

Otherwise, even if he managed to escape, he would still be a penniless pauper and had to find a way to make money.

Since it is necessary to make money, it is better to make ready-made money from Lin Yuan's place than to take risks in unfamiliar places.

"I've always been talking."

"Then let me out first."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Yes."

He opened the conductive metal paper and took out the classic phone.

'Drip~'

Linglong's three-dimensional image appeared in the air. She looked around and was furious: "Okay, you actually set up interference waves in the cabin! Do you want me to die?"

"This is my boat, I can do whatever I want."

"I @#@￥@!"

It was another output from Zaan. After cursing, Linglong retracted her old machine: "Wrap it up for me! I haven't lived enough yet."

"Ha~ You are really contradicting your promise."

Lin Yuan rewrapped the old phone tightly with conductive paper as she wished.

With Linglong done, not only do you not have to worry about harassment from nuclear energy personnel when collecting water from the ground, but you also get free labor. The cost of water collection can be reduced a lot, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for whether Linglong is credible, that's not a problem at all.

The power disparity between the two sides is now disproportionate. Lin Yuan has a thousand ways to subdue Linglong.

As long as she is a little smarter, she won't think about it anymore.

After finishing Linglong's matter, there is nothing to worry about.

Lin Yuan stretched a lot, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and fell asleep directly.

In the past time, he has been working without closing his eyes, and he has already reached the limit of human-level general-purpose organs.

But God didn't seem to want him to live too comfortably. He fell asleep and was woken up by the siren of the main control brain.

"Attention! Attention! Abnormal spaceship wreckage was found ahead, the number is 1, and the distance is 8 kilometers. There are abnormal moving targets around the spaceship."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and found that he had slept for about 6 hours, and his physical fatigue was basically eliminated.

Zheng Wan was already sitting in the pilot's seat. Seeing him wake up, she said, "Our flight status is normal. The wreckage of the spaceship in front still has a lot of residual temperature. It should have been robbed by star robbers not long ago."

"Hmm~ What is the target of the abnormal activity?"

"It's too far away to see clearly. But there are only two possibilities. One is the survivors. The other is the scavengers who came to pick up the leaks. According to the current situation, the latter is more likely."

Lin Yuan glanced at the route map. If he continued to fly like this, the closest distance to the wreckage of the spaceship would be 500 kilometers, and there would be a risk of collision with large pieces of debris.

"There is no need to change the course, and the collision alert level is raised to prevent the ship from being smashed by debris."

Changing the course will consume propellant, and propellant is bought with money, of course, it can be saved if it can be saved.

"Ah."

Zheng Wan followed her advice.

Lin Yuan was not idle either. He turned on the high-sensitivity antenna of the New Star and kept adjusting the electromagnetic frequency band. After ten seconds, he successfully found an active communication frequency band.

A hoarse voice came out: "Hey~ Look, there is still a living person here!"
