Chapter 52
But Lin Qi didn't care, after all, not getting goods is the norm.
If he got gold every day, he could beat up Aeons.
Didn't expect.
Not long after landing, there were plot points jumping out again.
What's the situation?
"Settlement delayed?"
Lin Qi shook his head and denied this idea.
Having been with this card pool system for more than 20 years, what kind of situation it is, can Lin Qi not know?
The influence caused by one thing will only be harvested in one wave.
No matter how big the subsequent influence is, there will be no harvest.
Timely settlement.
The benefit of this is that before Lin Qi grows up, he can improve quickly.
The disadvantage is like now.
Clearly the subsequent influence will be greater, but there is no harvest.
It's very painful.
Therefore.
This plot point that jumped out again must come from another thing.
Suddenly.
Lin Qi's expression became strange.
What else is there that he doesn't know, and can provide plot points?
"Not many points, indicating it's a small matter."
"There are special plot points, indicating that it involves special characters."
Lin Qi tried hard to recall.
Did he do something recently, but he forgot about it.
Just thinking about it.
The signal receiver he dismantled from the starship suddenly sent a prompt.
【Beep!】
【Unknown signal detected...】
【Signal location: Nearby】
【Allow access?】
Nearby?
Seeing the prompt, Lin Qi was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he react.
"After a long time, there are people on this planet!"
"That was close."
"Almost collapsed it."
After the Aeon left, except for recycling the mecha, Lin Qi didn't care about the half-ship he was on, just threw it in space like trash.
Only dismantled the signal receiver from it.
The purpose was only one, to receive distress signals.
Because the rescue supplies Lin Qi dropped, the signal transmitter inside was connected to this one on the starship.
Originally, it was just with the idea of "what if there are still living people on any planet," and dismantled the signal receiver.
Didn't expect, there was an unexpected joy.
The planet with life that he had been looking for for so long, didn't expect it to be under his feet.
Now what needs to be determined is how many people are left on this planet.
The situation, state, etc. of these people, Lin Qi didn't even have to think about it, it must not be very good.
What needs to be examined now is whether they are worth Lin Qi's investment.
This is a real investment, not something else.
Although there are "plot characters" on this planet, if other people on the planet are not worth saving, Lin Qi will not do thankless things.
He will choose to take the plot characters away, or let other unrelated personnel disappear.
"Better to contact first, then make a decision."
Thinking about it.
Lin Qi gave the order.
"Allow access."
【Protocol passed, connecting...】
【Connection successful!】
"!%...!...!!"
"?"
Lin Qi was stunned again.
Because the language transmitted after connecting, he actually couldn't understand.
"What the hell?"
"This planet is so primitive, has the Linkage Beacon been hit?"
"Or is there a problem with the signal device?"
Lin Qi tended to the latter, after all, the IPC still has aircraft stationed here, and even advertises regularly.
In the IPC's library, you can also find information about this planet 700 years ago.
"By the way, Nanook has been here."
Lin Qi suddenly realized.
The reason his receiver can still run normally is because he repaired it.
The reason the transmitter in the hands of the "indigenous" on this planet can still run can only explain that this group of people is lucky, or that the protective performance of Lin Qi's black box is okay.
It was able to hold on for a while under the pressure of Destruction.
Not to the point where the things inside were completely damaged.
"Forget it."
"Since I can't contact directly, let's observe secretly first."
Thinking about it.
Lin Qi took out another universal capsule.
What is stored inside is an adaptive synchronous orbit satellite.
It was also manufactured by Lin Qi in advance, waiting to find a life-bearing planet, and then drop it.
This satellite integrates multiple functions.
Observation, communication...
Even orbital strikes!
At this moment, using it here couldn't be better.
And just when Lin Qi was dropping the satellite.
The other end of the planet.
Belobog.
In a mechanical house called "Perpetual Motion," two people, one big and one small, were staring at the black box that was finally opened.
After a while, the slightly smaller girl asked in confusion.
"Aunt Serval, do we... count as successful?"
Bronya asked.
Serval gave a wry smile, "I don't know either. This device suspected to be a signal transmitter, you just saw it, I didn't operate it at all, after the black box was opened, it started running by itself. Even... this black box wasn't opened by us!"
Bronya didn't speak, but didn't refute either.
Because they did witness the whole process, but had no sense of participation. ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
After coming out of the Engineering Institute, Bronya "skipped" training, followed the recommendation of that old expert, and came to the Perpetual Motion house to ask Serval for help.
But Serval refused without thinking.
The reason was the same as always.
She wanted to do rock and roll.
No way.
Bronya had to return to the Engineering Institute, and for the first time, was willful, asking someone to send the black box to the Perpetual Motion house.
This time Serval couldn't refuse.
Of course, another reason was that she was also curious about this black box.
Although rock and roll is her hobby, what about machinery?
It's just that there wasn't a single mechanical device in Belobog that could stump her; she could complete disassembly and assembly with her eyes closed.
So, after seeing the black box, she didn't mention rock and roll anymore.
Started to study it wholeheartedly.
And this study lasted for two full days.
It was so long that Bronya finished her punishment from Cocolia, and she still had no clue.
Clearly.
Her name as a "genius" was relative to Belobog.
At least before receiving higher-level education, her level was still in the same dimension as the experts at the Engineering Institute.
The people at the Engineering Institute couldn't open the black box, so she couldn't either.
However, just when Serval and Bronya were at their wits' end, an accident happened.
First, it was a light as bright as the sun.
This light was dazzling, illuminating Belobog, which was in the middle of the night, like broad daylight.
And brought high temperatures.
If the light hadn't lasted for a very short time, and the entire Belobog hadn't been covered in ice and snow, I'm afraid many things would have burned directly.
And then...
For about half a day, it was an "electromagnetic storm" that swept through the entire Belobog; at least the Engineering Institute and Serval explained it this way.
After being swept by the electromagnetic storm, the train began to malfunction, and traffic began to paralyze.
The most critical thing was that the heating system that dispelled the cold also began to strike on a large scale!
For Belobog, which had been covered in ice and snow for hundreds of years and had extremely low temperatures all year round, this was a natural disaster!
Everyone was caught off guard.
If it weren't for the short time, I'm afraid a large number of residents would have frozen to death.
But even so, the situation was precarious.
In this situation, the Supreme Guardian Cocolia had no energy to manage Bronya.
There wasn't much Bronya could do either.
Could only place hope on the black box.
What surprised her was that the black box that had always been unable to be opened could be opened after the "electromagnetic storm" swept through.
And then...
It was what happened just now.
The device suspected to be a signal transmitter sent back a little sound.
"!%%..."
Couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand at all.
"Sigh..."
Serval sighed, "Bronya, even if this black box is really left by some higher civilization, I'm afraid it's too late to save us."
Serval didn't say too much, and her tone wasn't tactful.
Directly told Bronya the truth.
"By the time the residents burn everything they can burn in their homes, and cut down all the trees they can cut down nearby, I'm afraid... many people will freeze to death."
"How much time do we have..." Bronya's voice was tearful.
"Three days at the shortest, seven days at the longest," Serval replied.
"One week at the longest..."
For a time.
A sense of powerlessness swept through Bronya's whole body.
She really wanted to do something, but Serval, who had the name of a "genius," was helpless, so what could she, an eight-year-old child, do?
Just then.
A rush of footsteps came from outside, approaching quickly.
Then a figure broke in, followed by an urgent urging voice.
"Sister! And Miss Bronya? Evacuate quickly! It's not safe here!" Gepard said hurriedly.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Serval moved quickly, and after her younger brother entered the door, she started to move.
"After the light and the storm swept through, the Legion frozen outside the city is thawing, and the rift gap nearby is also expanding!"
"Ah?"
At this moment.
Both Serval and Bronya were scared out of their wits.
Heating failure, plus the Legion's resurrection and rift invasion.
Belobog is going to be finished!
48. Alien technology? No! This is a god!
Belobog once had a prosperous history.
But since the Stellaron descended a thousand years ago, this planet has been plagued by disasters.
Antimatter Legion, rift creatures, cold waves, one after another.
But in a few hundred years, this planet changed from its original prosperity to the lonely city it is today.
That is Belobog.
And now, this last city is also starting to totter.
Not only did the heating system fail.
Are the Legion and rift creatures also invading at this time?
"Gepard, do we still have a chance to evacuate? Or rather, where else can we evacuate to?"
Serval gradually calmed down.
No longer as terrified as when she first heard the news.
The reason is that she knows very well that Belobog is the last fortress of humanity, and her Perpetual Motion mechanical house is in the abdomen of Belobog.
If even this place is not safe, where else is safe?
You have to know.
Not far from the mechanical house is the Qliphoth Fort, the center of Belobog.
Gepard was silent for a while, not knowing how to reply.
Because what his sister said was the truth.
It was indeed a dead end.
If you really want to say it, there is only one place that is slightly safer than the surface.
But Gepard didn't want to tell the truth.
He could only repeat, "Sister, no matter what, the mechanical house can't stay any longer, it can't be defended, we have to leave immediately! It will be too late if we are late!"
Serval frowned, she could clearly feel that her brother was hiding something from her.
However, before she could speak, Bronya had already spoken, "What about Mother? What is she doing?"
"The Supreme Guardian is... evacuating the residents, and instructed me to bring you to her side after finding you." Gepard replied. ===== CHAPTER 64 =====
