Chapter 80
The pillar of fire rushing into the sky and the heat wave illuminated Serval's pretty face red, but it was also hard to say whether it was flushed by the heat wave or because of the previous discussion.
"It's okay."
Lin Qi nodded.
Although he had seen more giant structures, the planetary engine was indeed seen for the first time.
"Was the data collected?"
"Let me see..."
Serval opened the terminal, checked it quickly, and reported, "The planet's rotation angle deviated according to the calculation, and the error is less than one in ten million. Currently, the planetary engine is running stably, and all indicators show that it is intact, with no abnormalities."
After reporting, Serval breathed a sigh of relief.
"Commander, can we be considered successful like this?"
"Well, good job. Run for another three days, and if it remains stable, you can start building other engines." Lin Qi praised.
According to the plan, within two years, Jarilo-VI will be pushed to a closer planetary orbit.
At that time.
Not only the surface temperature can be quickly restored, but also the energy of the star can be better used.
If it weren't for knowing that the Dyson sphere is actually not very cost-effective, Lin Qi would have wanted to build a stellar giant structure in this star system.
But then again.
For the people on Jarilo-VI, in fact, sunbathing or something is not necessary at all.
Just the heat brought by the planetary engine is enough to transform many places into suitable temperatures.
It's just that Lin Qi still thinks it's too slow.
Far less intuitive than being closer to the star.
And after doing this step, the next step is to restore the ecology.
Speaking of which.
This part is really Lin Qi's weakness.
Genetic strengthening potions, Lin Qi is indeed very good at it.
But environmental transformation, he doesn't know much about it.
On the contrary, how to destroy the environment is what he is best at.
Even the portable satellite hanging above at this time has the ability to plow the surface of Jarilo-VI.
"It seems I need to find an ecological administrator, or a planetary purifier; they are better at this kind of repair."
Lin Qi thought about whether to contact Topaz and ask her to find some people from these two factions to help him repair the planet.
But then he thought about it.
Inviting them here might at most restore Jarilo to the level before the disaster.
It might not even reach it.
The time is also unpredictable, maybe starting from a hundred years.
If you calculate it this way, it's better to study it yourself, maybe it's faster.
Unless...
Lin Qi thought of a person; if she helped, the restoration of Jarilo's ecology could definitely be quickly restored.
The "fast" here might be counted in "months."
Even if she comes up with some evil things, it can be counted in "days."
After a brief consideration, Lin Qi still decided to contact her.
【Lin's Cabin: Are you there? I want to claim the reward.】
Waited for a while.
Waited for a while again.
Only then did the message come over.
【Ruan Mei: Why did you change your mind?】
【Lin's Cabin: No reason, you just say whether you give this reward or not.】
【Ruan Mei: You say it.】
【Lin's Cabin: It's like this, I recently took over a planet; it has experienced seven hundred years of cold wave, and the ravages of the Antimatter Legion and the Fragmentum, the ecology is almost completely destroyed, I want to restore it, you help me.】
【Ruan Mei: Only... these?】
【Lin's Cabin: I know this is very simple for you, but you don't have to mock me, right?】
【Ruan Mei: No mockery intended, just are you sure you want to use the "reward" on this? Don't you think it's a
【Cabin in the Woods: Confirmed! Come quickly.】
【Ruan Mei: Interesting. Give me the coordinates; I want to come and see what kind of planet has you so concerned. If this planet makes me feel bored, then you can keep that "reward" for yourself. Or... I will give you another kind of "reward."】
【System Notification: Ruan Mei has gone offline.】
Lin Qi looked at the terminal, not quite knowing what to say.
It was mainly Ruan Mei's reply that left him feeling a bit conflicted.
What does she mean by, if it's boring, the reward won't be given?
She really is a detestable woman.
She clearly promised everything nicely before he did things for her.
Come to think of it.
Before Lin Qi had contact with "Geniuses," he hadn't taken other people's assessments of them to heart.
Are Geniuses hard to deal with?
How hard could it be?
Aren't they all just people?
But after having contact with Herta, he realized he was wrong; Geniuses are indeed different from ordinary people.
After having contact with Ruan Mei, Lin Qi realized he was wrong in a truly outrageous way.
To a certain extent, Geniuses and ordinary people are no longer the same species.
Ruan Mei is a typical example of this.
She is even more extreme than Herta.
Don't let her love for making pastries, listening to operas, and embroidery fool you—compared to young people, her hobbies are just a bit older—but as soon as you have deep contact with her, you will find that the label of "mad scientist" is not at all unjust.
The time that left the deepest impression on Lin Qi was when she almost created a baby for him.
It was a child in the literal sense, the kind that would have the genetic information of both Lin Qi and Ruan Mei...
If Lin Qi hadn't discovered it early, he would probably be raising a child right now.
Ever since then, Lin Qi had consciously avoided Ruan Mei; he didn't want her long white legs under her qipao, nor did he want the rewards she spoke of.
It was mainly out of fear that she would create another big surprise.
Having children or anything of the sort is still a bit too early.
Therefore.
Regarding the decision to invite Ruan Mei over this time, Lin Qi felt he had been impulsive.
At the same time, he felt a faint sense of unease.
Because the message Ruan Mei sent before going offline seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"She wouldn't have already..."
Lin Qi suddenly thought that with Ruan Mei's methods, there were at least ten thousand ways for her to preserve his genetic information.
Even though he had consciously avoided letting his genetic information leak before he started avoiding Ruan Mei, and he would throw things they had used while discussing problems into a star to be destroyed.
But who knows if Ruan Mei had collected it beforehand?
Lin Qi had a bit of a headache.
He even suddenly thought that if he didn't contact Ruan Mei, would a child suddenly run over in a few years and call him Daddy?
This possibility definitely exists.
Ruan Mei is capable of doing it.

"Forget it."
"Since I'm here, I'll just have to accept it."
"I'll take it one step at a time."
