Chapter 432

Xiao Jiu, so to speak, can you take off directly from where you are now?

Zhang Jie eagerly asked, touching left and right in the cockpit, having to say, Xiao Jiu's inside is really soft!

Can't fly!

Xiao Jiu still holds a grudge about Zhang Jie just venting exhaust inside her hull; for this, Zhang Jie can only comfort her with kind words, after all, he was the one who first caused trouble.

However, Xiao Jiu is surely not really angry, and is easy to appease; Zhang Jie just gently smoothed her fur and they reconciled as before.

Really can't fly, human....

Not enough energy...

Zhang Jie then recalled that Xiao Jiu's current activity energy completely relies on that super-strong radiation metal scrap from his own junk heap, plus some everyday cake food, completely lacking a proper energy source.

Maintaining her humanoid form's basic activities is still okay, but making her ascend to the sky with just this energy is really difficult for her.

Alright.

Xiao Jiu can fly by burning anything; energy and such, if not long-term high-frequency navigation, even burning firewood for her is fine.

Furthermore, he currently has no need to ascend.

Zhang Jie pondered his future plans, while Xiao Jiu, seeing his thoughtful appearance, seemed to have misunderstood something.

Human! My hull is fine! I will definitely be able to take off!

As long as you give me enough energy, I will definitely be able to fly!

Ah? Oh, I know.

I'm thinking, after obtaining the status of Stellar Citizen, where should we go?

No need to say! Definitely go to the Iron Law Star Alliance!

It seems he is puzzled why Xiao Jiu's tone is so certain; Zhang Jie strangely looks at her projection.

How... what's wrong?

Why go to the Iron Law Star Alliance?

Hmm... because that place is currently the most technologically advanced, right?

Human, this shouldn't be the place you most want to go, right?

What Xiao Jiu said is not without reason, but Zhang Jie doesn't think so.

On this planet that interfaces with the Star Sea, Zhang Jie finished many things about this universe.

For example, within the whole Star Sea, the Iron Law Star Alliance is not truly a hegemon; they are merely one of the few strongest star alliances.

If we say the Iron Law Star Alliance represents the pinnacle of biotechnology, then the other few star alliances each have their own pinnacle technologies.

In other words, wanting to learn knowledge, going to any star alliance doesn't matter, but the only place you cannot go is the Iron Law Star Alliance.

Their means are just like that: tough, hegemonic, hard to accept.

If we go over, aren't you afraid that one day suddenly some people will come and forcibly drag us onto the battlefield?

Sorry, human... I... I didn't know you thought that way...

It's fine, maybe because you essentially come from the Iron Law Star Alliance, you have a sense of belonging there.

Human! Wherever you go, I'll go!

Xiao Jiu firmly said, although she used to be somewhat tsundere, she has already unreservedly expressed her affection for Zhang Jie.

After all, she cannot possibly find another human who treats her this well.

Although she has always looked forward to the Iron Law Star Alliance, because there are many ship lives like her there, but there will no longer be a human like Zhang Jie.

There, humans exchanging ship lives, possessing multiple ship lives, is nothing more than an ordinary matter.

Not exchange!!!

Xiao Jiu suddenly realized how foolish she was, she actually thought of letting Zhang Jie go to that kind of place!

Fortunately, Zhang Jie didn't have the intention to go to that civilization, otherwise.....

Just thinking that Zhang Jie would later be surrounded by various good-looking ship girls, Xiao Jiu's face turned gloomy.

By the way... how did this human fix himself?

It's just that the connection of your space component has a problem, somewhat... underdeveloped?

Zhang Jie paused, under Xiao Jie's projection's gaze, pondered and left the ship.

A strange sound that cannot be described came from behind, Zhang Jie turned his head, the huge ship suddenly twisted, continuously folded, and finally a small figure appeared before his eyes.

Human! Our elbow!

Xiao Jiu burst into foolish laughter; previously she had always been conflicted, one side feeling she might never be repaired, the other side believing that with Zhang Jie's skill she could be repaired.

However, now it doesn't matter; anyway, no matter what, Xiao Jiu has won!

Stop laughing, you're not fully repaired yet.

Eh?

Xiao Jiu felt a daze, and simultaneously her inner body exerted effort, but she couldn't feel that sensation of deploying the ship at all.

How come this....

It doesn't matter, you're just like... uh... a ship girl that needs to be manually opened.

Like that?

Then alright.

Xiao Jiu isn't sad because of this; for her, this situation is already good enough, she's already satisfied.

Without psychological pressure, Xiao Jiu fully unleashed her nature—eating cake, shaking her head and swaying, loving to pounce on you whenever she goes out to play, and with the ahoge you gave her on top of her head, she is completely just a frolicking Samoyed.

As your understanding of Xiao Jiu's body deepens, you seem to have discovered something extraordinary, but you are not sure.

Regarding the manufacturing technology of humanoid lifeforms, the Iron Law Star Alliance was previously under complete blockade, and Xiao Jiu's defect was made intentionally.

Simply put, Xiao Jiu's defect is a problem caused by a minor technical flaw; if I'm not mistaken, her siblings should also have various kinds of problems.

However, this problem actually only needs a small means to be completely remedied; as long as it is remedied, these Ship Lives can immediately become normal ships and be directly put into battle.

Interestingly, these defects are not technical problems; they are very likely a matter not understood, or rather a problem with the design drawings, making it hard not to suspect that someone did it intentionally.

However, seeing Xiao Jiu shaking her head and swaying, you ultimately did not choose to tell her this matter; the Small Ship Girl just needs to be happy, and you, as a human, just need to support her.

Luzhou is undergoing orderly reconstruction; the previous blood disaster did not cause them too much harm.

Although many residents died, in the context of a cosmic-scale war, it is already negligible; they are even less than a speck of dust.

And what you don't know is that, beneath your comfortable life, there are still many undercurrents surging, such as....

For example, the uncle who mistook you for an illegitimate child has already found your whereabouts and is rushing here with several personal guards....
