Chapter 175
[That day, everyone in the interstellar space received a letter asking for help from the Star Alliance.]
"Dad, do you know? I passed the exam." Yaya on the other side of the communications line was showing off his school uniform like a little rooster. His white uniform was in sharp contrast to Zi'an's black uniform beside him.
The distress letter described Planet Aquamarine, which had lost contact with the Covenant, as well as a short video of Planet Aquamarine's current situation, energy to maintain the shield, nutrients, and the remaining people in the city.
"If it weren't for Brother Zi'an, I would have forgotten that I could use this thing to contact home. I'm still thinking about Dad. You are still angry and ignoring me." Zi'an has a communicator developed by Wen Ci Qiu and Tong Chen. After several searches and the connection established with the collector at home, this communication was possible.
The energy shield can only hold out for four days. Once it runs out of energy, the people on Planet Aquamarine will die one after another. All the alliances and nations in the interstellar world are watching the Star Alliance's response. It's more likely to be a joke.
"Brother, you're awake now. I'll bring you the children's airship when I get back."
[Star Alliance leaders have been slow to respond, and the explanation they give is that they are still researching. A new magnetic storm has erupted near Hainan, and the gamma rays are not conducive to rescue efforts. The Star Alliance is in an uproar online. What the hell is the point of researching? Send rescue first. By the time you finish your research, everyone will be dead.]
"Don't worry, Master. I will help Uncle Tongchen send these things on time."
[Hundreds of thousands of people are trapped on Planet Aquamarine, and the Alliance has done nothing. Does it still take the lives of the Star Alliance seriously? What use are such Alliance executors?]
"Okay, we'll be careful. By the way, Dad, did you know? We've made a new friend, Lan Sigelman. He's looking for the people who were invited to the White Building. He says they have a way to treat Type SO disease."
[A distress letter was sent to everyone's computer every day. The content of the video was always different. Everyone watched as the energy of the Aquamarine Planet's shield reached a critical state, the nutrients were running low, and there were riots, looting, and crying women and children.]
"Okay, Master. I'll find a chance to teach Lens the basics of energy operation. The training at the military academy is quite intense, and we only have one chance to come out a month. I left the communicator with Yaya. They have more relaxed training at the comprehensive school here."
The Star Alliance's rescue efforts have finally begun, but the internet is already abuzz with criticism. Is it still useful to go now? Don't the days lost on the journey count?
[In this situation, they received a final distress message, which was a short video with a face of an omnic, half human and half mechanical.]
Planet Aquamarine announced that it had not received any rescue from the Star Alliance and had been deliberately abandoned by the Star Alliance (this video here captured a lot of high-level government orders that were not taken away from Planet Aquamarine). It had completely separated from the Star Alliance, and the remaining abandoned people had also abandoned the Star Alliance.
(This part seemed quite ridiculous to everyone, more like a desperate, helpless act of anger.) The independent Aquamarine Planet, the land of hope.]
Lu Daju held Shitou and strolled in the yard. After seeing his sister, Shitou became much calmer. The blood was suppressed. Yaya said that if Shitou was not well behaved, she would beat him next time she came back.
Lu Daju was stunned by what he saw, but the effect was very obvious.
Rumor has it that ten younger brothers are no match for one older sister, and it seems to be true.
Although he was threatened by his sister, Shi Tou was very happy to talk to her and meet her, which also made Lu Daju feel a lot more relaxed.
Just then, I saw Butler Wen, who had just returned, hurried out again: "Old Wen, what are you doing again? Tongchen took over this shabby stall and asked you to come along and help him."
"It can't be helped. In other people's eyes, he's a robot. If you want to reassure people, you always have to use a smokescreen." Wen Ciqiu was the man behind the scenes who stabilized people's hearts. "Luckily, he's not too busy, so I can help him with the basic coordination."
Wen Ci Qiu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and sat next to Lu Daju: "I want to seek your help."
Raising an eyebrow, this situation was quite rare. Lu Daju put the stone in his arms on the ground and let him play with it by himself: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Tongchen has concentrated all his energy together. It can last for a month if it's used up, but there's no way to solve the food problem. After five days, the nutrients will be completely used up. I..."
Wen Ci Qiu hesitated and didn't finish his words, which made Lu Daju quite relieved. Wen Ci Qiu's situation was different from Tong Chen's.
Tongchen was originally a human being, and even after being transformed into a robot, he still understood human emotions. Wen Ciqiu was a human creation at heart, and later was given a human body, becoming more and more like a human. Even now, he still has hesitations and worries about others' emotions, which is no different from humans.
"I can't think of any solution, so I'd like to ask for your help."
"Did that big guy ask you to beg me?" Lu Daju tilted his neck and supported his face with his palms.
"No, no, he didn't say that. I came here to beg you for help myself." Lu Daju's question made Wen Ci Qiu feel a little embarrassed, as if he had done something wrong?
"Saving everyone on Planet Aquamarine is something you and he couldn't possibly accomplish. Do you know why he did it?"
Wen Ciqiu shook his head. His eyes, which had seemed quite shrewd before, were now filled with confusion. “He is the Marshal of the Star Alliance. Naturally, he cannot bear to see the people of the Star Alliance die.”
"That's one of the reasons, but if you don't have the ability to save them, you might as well watch them die if you step in like this." Lu Daju pointed his chin at Wen Ciqiu's back and said, "If the only thing I have the courage to do is ask you to come forward and beg me, then you'd better not be the Marshal of the Star Alliance."
Wen Ciqiu turned around and saw the tall figure standing in the distance looking at him: "I'm sorry to have worried Mr. Wen. It's Tongchen's fault."
"Mr. Wen, don't worry. Just look after Tongchen." Tongchen stepped forward with his tall figure, casting a shadow over Wen Ciqiu. "The color green that Mr. Wen likes is so beautiful. I want to transform this world into what Mr. Wen likes."
Lu Daju grimaced as he listened to this. It was so sour that it made his whole body hair stand on end.
"Hurry up and go." Lu Daju waved his hand to drive them away, which was really an eyesore. "The things are outside. Remember to buy pink ones within a ten-mile radius. Yaya will be very happy to see them when she comes back."
Tong Chen stood side by side with Wen Ci Qiu, his stature making Butler Wen look smaller.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"No need. The main body's energy will be consumed anyway. Whether I use it to amuse the stones into small animals, or to turn them into food and plants, there is not much difference." Lu Daju has a problem. When someone says thank you to him, he feels uncomfortable all over and cannot accept other people's thanks.
