Chapter 91

"Don't!" Lin Qi quickly stopped her from wanting to take out the mouthparts.

How big was the Brood Mother?

How big was the train?

It was no exaggeration to say that a single leg hair of the Brood Mother might be longer than the train.

Taking the mouthparts out here, would the train still be usable?

Pom-Pom would probably drive her off the train.

Fortunately, Seele also realized this problem and didn't take the mouthparts out of the dimensional pocket.

On the other side.

Himeko saw this scene, with a smile on her face, and brought over a cup of coffee.

"Seele, drink a cup of coffee to relieve fatigue; you should be tired after fighting for so long."

"Uh... not tired!"

Seele waved her hands repeatedly, her face showing difficulty.

She would rather fight the Brood Mother for another three hundred rounds than drink Himeko's coffee again.

Because that was really...

Too painful!

After killing the incomplete Brood Mother, the train repaired for a while before warping again to head to the next area.

Maybe it was because the luck was too bad when encountering the Brood Mother last time.

After that, it warped several times in a row without encountering any crisis again.

But then again, with Lin Qi here, it was hard to have anything that could be called a crisis.

At least after the "Battle of the Brood Mother," Himeko thought so.

In fact.

Most problems could be solved by Seele.

Her combat effectiveness had broken through the sky in the literal sense.

What surprised Himeko even more was that Lin Qi was still guiding her on the train journey.

It's just that this time, it wasn't the mechanical part of the train.

But herself.

"Lin, can the portable satellite you mentioned really load so many modules? Communication, detection, and even surface-level destructive power." Himeko couldn't believe it.

Himeko's toolbox contained both a molecular saw and a portable satellite.

But her satellite compared to the one in Lin Qi's mouth was like a toy.

According to Lin Qi, if a portable satellite wanted to load more modules, the first thing to solve was the carrying problem.

This was also what Himeko was curious about.

Because she had seen Seele's mech, which was over a hundred meters high and longer than the train when lying flat.

After all, there were few train cars now.

But no matter what, how was such a big guy stored usually? And how could it be taken out quickly in battle?

Himeko had always been confused.

Fortunately, Lin Qi gave the answer.

"It's through this Curio."

Lin Qi had a blank capsule in his palm and explained, "This is a Curio that hasn't been released yet, so it's normal that you don't know it; its effect is also very simple, which is to fold objects into a capsule. But with my current technology, the limit of shrinking is the size of a spaceship. But I think it's enough, right?"

Himeko took the capsule, curious and surprised at the same time.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen space Curios; in fact, the train itself could be called a space Curio.

But the train itself couldn't be shrunk.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be short of fuel.

After all, if it could be shrunk, let someone else take it for a warp, wouldn't the fuel be there again?

Most space items on the market were also more gimmicky than practical.

The space that could be stored was very small, and at most, it could only hold a few weapons.

Even the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou's cave-heaven technology was based on the ship's hull itself; once it left the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou, the cave-heaven couldn't be taken out at all.

But Lin Qi's technology was different.

It directly applied space folding to the object itself.

This way, the object could be taken away at any time, and it was very convenient to take out.

As long as it was unfolded, it was the original appearance.

"No wonder Seele entered the combat state so quickly," Himeko sighed.

"These few blank capsules are for you; consider it... train fare?" Lin Qi said with a smile.

"This is too valuable! And are you getting off the train already?" Himeko asked nervously, not reaching out to take the capsules.

For her, if this was Lin Qi's parting gift, she would rather not accept it, and hoped that Lin Qi could stay for a few more days.

"Accept it; this doesn't count for much to me." Lin Qi took Himeko's hand and sent the capsules into her palm, then continued.

"As for me, I might stay for another ten days or half a month, and then I'll head to the next stop. Before that, I'll help you fill the capsules; I'm a bit worried about whether the Astral Express can reach the stars with just Seele and your portable satellite."

"I see..."

Himeko didn't refuse again.

For one thing, Lin Qi wasn't leaving immediately, and for another, Lin Qi was right; her strength was too weak.

And these capsules could just make up for it.

Time flew by.

Another half a month passed, and although Himeko and Seele had too much reluctance, it was indeed time for Lin Qi to go.

But at this time, the spaceship coming to pick up Lin Qi to his destination encountered an accident on the way.

It wasn't encountering disasters like swarms, but encountering a wrecked spaceship, and there were actually two people inside?

66. Welt: I choose to join Jarilo.

"Report, Commander, one wrecked spaceship discovered. Preliminary reconnaissance shows that the spaceship does not belong to any well-known faction in the universe."

"Judging by it, the spaceship may originate from some low-level civilization, currently intact in appearance, having lost power."

"Requesting further instructions from the Commander!"

While waiting for the fleet to arrive, Lin Qi suddenly received a message.

"Wrecked spaceship?"

The universe is not only empty but actually very dangerous.

So spaceships often encounter accidents.

Generally speaking.

The survival rate of spaceships after encountering accidents is very low.

Spaceships of low-level civilizations can even be said to be dead for sure.

Because the universe is too big, a spaceship is extremely tiny in any star system, and by analogy, its size isn't even comparable to a speck of dust on a planet.

So after a low-level civilization's spaceship wrecks, there's almost no possibility of survival.

After all, they don't have long-range communication equipment, meaning they can't be contacted.

Since they can't be contacted, they aren't easy to find.

This is even harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

It was fortunate that the place where this spaceship had the accident was close to the star rail, which was why it was discovered by Lin Qi's fleet.

Otherwise, who knows how long it would have drifted in the universe.

"Explore it; if there are survivors, save them if you can; if not, tow the spaceship to the nearest port."

Lin Qi thought for a moment and gave instructions to the fleet.

Anyway, this was a matter of convenience.

Of course.

The necessary caution was still required.
