mother of all races

Chapter 94

"Oh, awesome."

Sith poked his head out from behind Alisa, stared at the rescue pod and let out a muffled grunt.

"...Those guys sent us to Sunu Planet for a two-year exploration mission, but they only equipped us with this kind of thing?"

Everyone present now looked despondent at having to deal with such a disturbingly crude lifeboat with the hope of returning home in sight.

"As far as I can remember, we should have had some medium lifeboats."

Bryce frowned.

"Hmmm... that's right, and it's a new batch, and I wish we could still have them, but, those lifeboats were destroyed in the previous crash landing. Did you forget? Many parts were taken apart Come down to repair the main body of the Helios."Alisa replied somewhat gloomily. "By the way, the lifeboats we see now are the original factory lifeboats from 300 years ago. They were forgotten here, so instead they survived."

"Sounds amazing, if we were here on earth at this time to see the same type of lifeboat, we would probably have to pay the aviation museum for admission."

Sith said.

He looked devastated, and then he looked at Alyssa and Bryce.

Fear flashed in his eyes.

There's nothing more painful than giving someone hope and then destroying it - and now it looks like they're dealing with that.

Lin Xi and his team then checked the other lifeboats in the warehouse, but what they found only made the fluke in their hearts disappear faster.

These old antiques from 300 years ago are without exception the kind of paper-like large metal drift bottles they first discovered.There are only two low-temperature hibernation chambers, and the computers in the central control center are simply like children's toys.

As they have emphasized before, these lifeboats were not designed for long-distance travel.

"...just to allow the passengers of the spaceship to maintain their physical signs before the rescue fleet arrives."

Alisa supported her temples with her hands. After a simple inspection, she returned to the lifeboat they opened first, and then she added to Lin Xi sadly.

Now, probably the only good news they have when inspecting these lifeboats is that they found that there is still a moving part in the middle of the two lifeboats. After removing this part, they can remove a cryogenic from another lifeboat. The dormant compartment, and then install it here.

"It sounds gratifying. Our choice has changed from 4 to 2 to 4 to 3. It seems that no matter what, we have no way to get rid of the fate of the rotation."

Sith said sadly, staring at the loose part.

And it is precisely because he is very upset now that he didn't notice that at the same time he said those words just now, Xavier, who had been quietly eavesdropping on people's conversations, suddenly trembled own tentacles.

Although he has not received any teaching, Xavier has learned to count without a teacher, and what Sith said just now is also very clear-four people.

Obviously, only Xavier in their group is not human.

Xavier's movements froze suddenly.

It has always been extremely happy to help Lin Xi... do things according to Lin Xi's orders, but at this moment, he suddenly realized a cruel thing.

What do these things you do represent?

It is working hard to help Lin Xi and his party leave the planet.

but……

Xavier forgot that for Lin Xi and others, the earth is their hometown, but for it, it is a completely different planet, and.Once he got rid of the current environment, what should be waiting for him... What is it? ?Xavier didn't know, but felt a strong panic.

And at this moment, Lin Xi glanced at him.

"It's not two out of four, and it's not three out of four."

Lin Xi said.

"what?"

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Sith still couldn't react.

"It's five people," Lin Xi said word by word, looking straight into Sith's eyes. "We're taking Xavier with us."

Lin Xi said with an unquestionable tone.

Sith stared at Lin Xi with strange eyes, as if ivory suddenly grew on Lin Xi or something.

He is indeed the kind of person who doesn't know how to restrain his emotions at all. Sometimes this kind of trait makes him look straightforward and simple, but sometimes his appearance is particularly annoying.

"Take Xavier away... Are you kidding me? You mean you're going to take this monster..."

At the last moment, Sith suddenly stopped talking, and carefully swallowed the "monster"... Not far from him, he clearly saw Xavier's tentacles standing upright.

After the human's blue eyes faded, there were scarlet compound eyes that were as cold and cruel as insects. At this moment, Xavier's gaze fell on Sith so bluntly, which made the human shudder involuntarily.

"...Are you really planning to bring this alien friend back to Earth?"

Sith finished speaking with a pale face.

The suddenly tense atmosphere between Lin Xi and Sith made the other two people present involuntarily cast suspicious glances at them.

After hearing Lin Xi's answer, let alone Sith, even Bryce was very surprised.

"Take Xavier? Back to Earth? Hey, Lin Xi, you need to know..." Bryce was about to speak when he heard Alisa suddenly raise her voice, interrupting his dissuasion directly.

"Can we talk about this later? Guys, the most urgent thing is... Do we have to at least find a way to keep us alive, and then use this old antique..." Alisa patted the lifeboat on her side vigorously, " Send us back to Earth..."

Alyssa tried hard to appear composed, but in her heart she knew that things were not going well.

Even using the word bad to describe the situation they are facing now is a bit too conservative-the word "finished" may be more appropriate.

For them today, the best situation is to rely on this crude lifeboat to send them directly into the transition gate, if luck is good enough (that means this thin and fragile aircraft will not be crushed during the transition) into a bubble) they will be ejected into the public orbit on the other side of the jump gate. At that time, they will have to find a way to send a distress signal, and then they can only pray to God, and pray that good people can catch them at the same time back to earth.

Well, after straightening out the process in the most ideal situation in my heart, even Alisa, who was the most gentle towards Xavier, was extremely worried about Lin Xi's decision to insist on bringing Xavier.

Lin Xi seemed to feel her emotions too.He turned his head immediately and gave Alyssa a deep look.

"There will be no problem, Xavier has a strong mimicry ability."

Lin Xi replied calmly, and then added after a pause.

"It's a creature hatched by me. No matter what it turns into in the end, he is my responsibility."

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, she heard Xavier's voice behind her.

"I belong to Lin Xi."

It is a happy and sweet neigh.

Xavier fluttered his wings lightly, snuggled up behind Lin Xi and softly repeated the sentence that made his heart elated.

It is not stupid, it clearly understands the previous disputes of these humans (if Lin Xi is next to it, it will probably find a way to tear the low-level creature called Sith into pieces with its claws), and the same Yes, it also heard Lin Xi's persistence.

Lin Xi said in person that he would be with it.

After realizing this, the sweet feeling almost made Xavier feel a tingling tingling.

At this moment, all the persistence and resistance to his instinct paid off.

Lin Xi cares about it...

Xavier moved towards Lin Xi uncontrollably. Its wings were about to move, and there was a muffled humming in its chest.

Lin Xi patted its paw reassuringly.

No matter what Lin Xi and Xavier's real mood was at this time, the intimacy between the alien monster and Lin Xi was very annoying in Bryce's eyes.

Bryce coughed, and he stepped forward with a strong attitude, separating Xavier and Lin Xi calmly.

"Okay, Alyssa is right, the most urgent thing is for us to get out of this ghost place first. Whether it's those monsters, those bugs, or those damn robot warriors, it is a great trouble for us. Every time we are here The longer you delay, the more trouble you will face later. Let us move now and see what we can do."

Bryce clapped his hands vigorously, and then pretended that the previous dispute was completely non-existent, he said.

Like Bryce said, they really had to get other things done quickly.

Bryce and Alyssa soon began to scavenge for supplies in several other lifeboats, before they had to remove another hibernation pod from the remaining lifeboats and install it in the lifeboat they planned to travel in.What Sith needs to do is to try to decode the star map in the system and change the orbital route, and use hacking technology to transform the extremely old and simple computer system of the lifeboat, so that this fragile metal box can be used in the vast In the universe, find the direction to go home.

Of course, these are just trivial things, what really makes everyone feel tricky is...

"Fuel is a big problem."

Sith said with a pale face after checking the fuel tank of the lifeboat.

These rescue capsules are manufactured on the premise that the spaceship has a serious failure or is hijacked by pirates, so their engines are designed to have extremely high propulsion...

"...In the event of a spacecraft failure, at least these lifeboats can take the escape crew to escape the possible explosion range as quickly as possible.".

Also too small in size.

"...Everyone was scattered into tiny units to escape, so even if the original interstellar pirates set up a capture system outside the spaceship, it would be difficult for them to catch such a small-sized lifeboat in one go."

Alisa explained in detail to the three men behind her.

But such a design gave these lifeboats a fatal shortcoming - the high-power engine would quickly consume all the fuel stored in the fuel tank in a very short period of time.

"In that case, we would lose power before we even had time to fly into the transition gate, and we would be floating halfway, but in this kind of ghost place, no passing spaceship would kindly salvage us up."

Bryce checked the data of the lifeboat and finished the rest of the words on behalf of Alisa.

"If you change to a larger fuel tank, wouldn't it be..."

"It's useless, these damn engines consume too much, and once the large-volume fuel tank is replaced, the weight and strength of the fuel tank itself may also be crushed to pieces during the transition, so we may be better than staying here It would be even worse in the hell place - we would be stuck in the gap of the warp, and experience the moment of immortality when our bodies shattered to pieces."

Alisa whispered.

Many of Sith's previous plans were designed based on the premise that they still have at least some medium-level lifeboats with certain internal flight functions.

But now, with the lifeboats they had access to, all his hopes were quashed.
