Chapter 1,393 The Stubborn Ancestor

Today is the second day after returning from the deep-diving test port. Tavel and her team of experts transported the second black shuttle to Shadow City safely in the morning. Now a group of disassembly maniacs should be busy studying how to remove it from The detector on the other side was dismantled into rubbish - after all, the last black shuttle gave people the feeling that it was impossible to start, and Tavel's research was therefore very unsatisfactory. But this time, this one seems to have lost its self-destruction function, and its shell is even worse. It had been opened, and Tavel was finally able to take out the contents and take a closer look. ※r />

In addition, the deep dive plan can be continued as long as the deep dive port control center is rebuilt, and Lin Xue has guaranteed the next deep dive operation. I estimate that Tavel and her friends should be in an unprecedented situation now. Have fun.

Anyway, I am happy to know that these major projects can continue safely and safely, which means that at least I can live a relatively stable life until the next convulsion of the fallen apostle strikes. In fact, for me, I am not afraid of being busy at work every day. What I am afraid of is that every job is unexpected. I believe many people can understand this truth: if you are busy doing something you are familiar with all day long, even if Many people can persevere in moving bricks and mortar every day, but not many people can accept the idea of ​​randomly selecting a lucky day to go to the Middle East to maintain world peace one day a week in addition to moving bricks and mortar. .

And my rhythm most of the time is like this - I calculated that on average, I spend about twenty days a month reviewing and approving tons of reports, and the remaining ten days randomly select time, location and battles to maintain world peace. Looking back Looking at myself, I feel like I might have been born to be a Holy Lord and Mingjun - do you think any ordinary person can accept this kind of pace of life? Of course, the reason why I can accept this kind of life may be that my brain is relatively slow. Usually, I only think of lamenting my birth when I have nothing to do like now.

It's now 9:30 in the morning. Qianqian dragged her sister and Monina to the streets to spend money early in the morning, and she hasn't come back yet. It's probably because there's a discount in another supermarket, or there's a fight between cats and dogs on the street: Anyway, there are always many reasons why Qianqian doesn't come home after going out for a long time. That girl's thinking is like a picture in a high-mathematics textbook, you can see it But I can’t understand it…

I have just discussed with Sandora for a long time about the details of the first dive of the deep-diving ship in this round of operations. Because this is the first time the new ship has performed a mission since it left port, and almost 70% of its systems are newly designed: it is almost the same as the first ship, so its maiden voyage It is more about verifying the stability of the new equipment. There are not many clear test tasks, and its "depth" of diving should not exceed the previous ship. My plan is to be a little conservative and just do the first test to make sure all the spacecraft systems are functioning properly. Sandora's plan is slightly more radical: she plans to directly carry people into the dive.

…Well, it’s not as simple as being a little radical.

But I also understand Sandora's thoughts, because Tavel did mention this amazing progress in the report: not only has she given the new ship a return function, but she has also given it considerable endurance. Different from the "deep submersible ship" we launched last time, which was almost an extra-large disposable probe, the new ship is a mature and complete official spacecraft. Within the safe "depth", it is designed to dive more than a hundred times, and can carry a scientific research team of less than 20 people to work and live inside. Do you still remember the communication device we took back from the Merova people? It was the thing that was developed by the Fifteenth Sky Zone that year but was snatched away before it could be assembled on Occam's deep-diving ship. Tavel has successfully copied it and installed it on her newly designed spacecraft. So our new ship also has the ability to communicate with the outside world in the deep area of ​​the abyss.

There have been so many huge improvements. Shandora naturally seemed very motivated, so she decided to conduct a manned test during her first dive. After all, it was impossible to verify all systems by relying solely on the simulation cabin.

She and I have been studying this issue for a long time, and there are good reasons for both radical and conservative ideas. Finally, we came to a conclusion: Don’t be entangled in this topic if you are jealous, let’s see how Tavel arranges it...

I thought about Shandora debating with me for a long time with a serious and rigorous look. Finally, I remembered that I was also half-jealous in deep-diving technology and found it funny. Even Her Majesty the Queen can be cute sometimes. When getting up. Especially these two days...

I calmly came to the living room to see if there was anything interesting on the TV: even though I was already in power. But I am still very interested in what is happening on this planet. But as soon as I walked downstairs, I saw something more eye-catching than the TV: a large ball of golden fur lying in front of the coffee table, and next to the ball lay a female gangster with silver hair.

Bingtis and the useless fox somehow got together. What were the two of them studying with all their concentration?

I was full of curiosity and slowly approached these two people from behind who would never get together. They were so involved that they didn't even notice. I saw that bitch fox sitting cross-legged on the ground, with her face almost pressed into the coffee table. The tail behind her butt was also swinging back and forth according to her mood. Looking from behind, it could almost completely block her entire body: So just now When I went downstairs, I saw a big fur ball lying there. Bingtis also sat on the floor without any image, while he and the fox were studying the things on the coffee table, while pointing and muttering something to each other in a low voice.

I took a condescending look at the back and discovered that there was a small group of small luminous balls floating on the coffee table. Those small light balls were pale golden in color and seemed to be made entirely of light, so they seemed real and illusory. They were suspended in the distance from the coffee table. There is a height of three to five centimeters on the surface, dancing in circles in front of the fox leisurely. I took a closer look and was stunned to find those small balls of light and their vague facial features!

Immediately I thought of some low-level nature spirits from another world. Those nature spirits looked similar to this.

"What the hell is this?" I suddenly said, "What new pet did you buy from Shadow City?"

The fox was frightened by the sudden sound from above. Its tail jumped up and down like a sword. It jumped up and bumped into me. I pushed the fox fairy back, and the latter patted his chest and said white. glanced at me. Then he carefully gathered up the small balls of light on the coffee table and showed them to me: "The lice on the tail suddenly turned into sperm..."

I:"……?!"

Bingtis kicked him from the side: "So, is your information disturbance power valid or not? Is it valid or not!"

I jumped up and down to dodge the female gangster's series of kicks. In the end, I had no choice but to grab Sister Bing's feet and throw her on the sofa. Only then did I have time to observe the group of small light balls held in the fox's hands. The little thing who thought it was the spirit of nature even jumped twice enthusiastically and made a sound like the roar of the wind. The scene was so weird that I was speechless.

It took me a while to react. He grabbed the Fox Fairy by the ears and said, "Where do you get the lice from taking a shower all day long!? Are you going to fight with Cerberus again? Or are you going to lead the group of wild cats on the west side of the street to resist human tyranny!?"

The fox's tails flapped against my body like a windmill to show resistance, while grinning: "Let me go! Let me go! I am the Fox Fairy! My ears are very sensitive..."

"Okay, you two are crazy and have time to fight again," Bingtis came to break up the fight with a serious face at this time, and she rescued the fox. While handing me a piece of paper, he said, "A letter from Father God, about your family's ancestral tomb...oh, Shandora's ancestral tomb."

...Can't this guy learn how to speak normally?

Speaking of things in the home world, a few days ago we sent the last bits of logs compiled by our ancestors to the God Realm. Basically, all the details that Ansers and a dozen ancestors could recall are already there. As expected, the letter sent by Father God this time was to report on the progress. In the letter, he was very happy to tell me good news: The God Realm has found quite clear clues from the huge database of information, and now they are almost certain. The hometown world of the Xiling Apostle is in a certain area that the Protoss has set foot in, and after so many days of investigation, this area has been limited to a fairly small area. It may not take three or two days to determine the hometown world. coordinate.

Father God also told me with great pride. The one who found the most critical clue was a wave of volunteer students gathered by Soiret: a delegation of teachers and students from Yuqiang Vocational and Technical School from the Holy Fire Continent...

This is the first time I know that a school in the God Realm has such a bad name. This name is so kind...

"What's the content?" Bingtis sat cross-legged on the sofa holding her feet while continuing to study the group of lice monsters with the fox who jumped on the sofa wearing shoes. he asked casually.

"It is said that it has been confirmed that the home world is in the list of worlds registered by the gods, and the final elimination method is now being carried out." As I said, I patted the fox and asked her to stop squatting on the sofa with her shoes on: Although It's not dirty, but as a fox fairy, you have to pay attention to your dignity, right? "I also mentioned that there is a Yuqiang Vocational and Technical School in the God Realm..."

Bingtis stroked his silver hair: "Oh, that school, it used to be called Osiris Holy Academy. Later, the principal there felt that the names of the schools in the gods basically had the same style and did not show creativity. , it was changed to this, it is considered a prestigious school and is famous for innovation."

Me: "..." In Bingtis's hometown, if you want to be new and different, this is how it works! Then I run a school called Yucai Middle School. I wonder if it can be regarded as a strange school in the world of gods?

While I was thinking this, a message suddenly came from Shadow City, from Tavel: "Your Majesty, please come and check on some matters related to the ancestors."

I was stunned, and without thinking much, I opened the teleportation gate and arrived at the Shadow City. Sandora followed me and teleported over. It seemed that she had also received Tavel's report. We arrived at the research center confused, and found Ansers, Lu, and several other ancestors having a heated argument with the girl with glasses. Seeing Shandora and I appear, both parties rushed forward as if they saw a savior.

Sandora frowned: "What's going on?"

"The ancestors knew about the deep dive plan," Tavel frowned, "and asked to join."

I looked at Ansers in shock. The faces of him and several other ancestors were solemn. Obviously this idea was not a whim, and it was already difficult to change.

Sandora and I quickly looked at each other, exchanged views in a spiritual connection, and then said in unison: "This project is very dangerous!"

"We have been living in danger all our lives," Anseth said, not considering this as a problem at all. "And now it seems that the 'Deep Diving Plan' is the most worthwhile risk among them."

I know Anseth is a completely stubborn old man. Although I had a good impression of him, it was really annoying when the old man was stubborn, so I suddenly became confused. We had never thought of letting our ancestors come into contact with the deep-diving plan before, but no one thought of keeping this plan a secret from them. This project operates to this day and is no longer classified as top secret as it was originally - although all its details are still confidential, at least the existence of this project is known to everyone, so the ancestors accidentally learned about the "deep dive" It also seems logical.

This should be regarded as a major oversight on our part: no one expected that our ancestors would ask to participate in such a life-threatening operation!

"Old man, I know you have a deep obsession with the abyss," I thought about how to persuade my ancestor. "But this project really can't be done casually. Even the person who helps tighten the screws (if there is one) in the deep diving team has to be reviewed and tested for a long time. How can you just add people? And to be honest, you all know what the abyss is. Things, after struggling for half my life, I finally don’t have to deal with them. Why are you trying to get in touch with them again?"

"It's because we know what the abyss is," Anseth's voice was very calm but powerful, "that's why we went to take a look."

"Just going to have a look?" I hurried up and said eagerly, "That's okay. Can we go home after watching?"

Ansers' expression froze: "That's just a description..."

I spread my hands, knowing that this old man was not so easy to convince. And a group of ancestors knew that they were now able to enter the gate of the abyss, and they would definitely not just "take a look", so they had to make the situation clear to them: "Old man, I am not pouring cold water on you, think about it. The deep-diving plan is the empire It is the most technologically advanced thing. The lower-level technicians in the research institute were blinded in the past. You are not scientists, so how can you help in the past?"

"This project should not only require scientists." Lu said softly but resolutely, "You can also do some odd jobs. Or stand guard, or just arrange any work for you. Anyway, as long as we don't cause trouble, it will be fine. Do you really want to dislike us? It’s useless, we can learn from it!”

When it comes to this, I think I can only nod. I don't have the courage to nod and say that my ancestor is useless - although in a sense this is true. I had a little exchange with Sandora, who was also helpless: now that they know the plan, no one can stop these extremely stubborn ancestors unless they use force. After all, the apostles are now single-minded. Or is it inherited from these people.

"That's it," I nodded reluctantly, "but you definitely can't participate in the research team. The technology content is too high. You can go to the sentry team or the service department to help, but you must do one thing: listen to Tavel's command. , obey the command 100% - this is not a study of baking a cake without adding water, this is a study of the door of the abyss, if a person does not obey the command, someone may die!"

The wrinkles on Anseth's face relaxed: "Of course I do, we are not children."

I thought to myself, you know it too - you guys are just as tough as the naughty kids. The naughty kids in my family at least know how to listen to adults.

"Your Majesty?!" The situation took a turn for the worse. Only then did Tavel come back to his senses and realized that a shocking weight had been dropped on his shoulders. His eyes were straight, "You really want your ancestors to participate in this kind of..."

"The organization has high hopes for you," I patted the bespectacled girl on the shoulder, "Don't put too much pressure on me!"

Tavel: "...Yes, Your Majesty."

After everyone else left, only Anseth stayed at the end and looked at each other with me and Sandora. The old man said happily: "I know you must be scolding me in your heart at this time."

I quickly waved my hand, but before I could speak, the old man continued the second half of the sentence angrily: "It's useless for you to scold me anyway, and I don't intend to listen."

Me: "..." The bachelor spirit of our ancestors is exactly the same as that of modern apostles.

"We have an eternal feud with the Abyss," the old man said with emotion, "but until the day when the Xiling people became extinct, we didn't know what the source of that thing was like. This is a kind of frustration, you know Well? Now that you can cross that door, for us old guys, the biggest obsession in this life will hopefully be solved..."

The old man patted me on the shoulder: "People don't live just to eat and sleep. After finally surviving, if we are still waiting for death as before, what is the difference from when we died? So we will do whatever it takes. Go learn things that you have never been exposed to in your life and live your life again. You can’t waste this life.”

After saying this, Ansers turned and left, leaving only Shandora and I with a bachelor figure. Shandora and I looked at each other speechlessly, and finally the two of them sighed in confusion: "The ancestors have nothing to do with anything." Well, my temper is as insufferable as steel and concrete...

Two days later, the once-destroyed deep-diving port control center was rebuilt, and the deep-diving ship was ready. Tavel planned to conduct the first deep-diving test of the new ship tomorrow. As usual, of course it should be me and Sandora went to the town in person - but an old acquaintance who unexpectedly arrived interrupted my plan.

Father God is coming.
