Star Federation, 2181.
Yaochi ship.
"Old Zhang, please help me interpret these ancient characters."
In the smoke-filled ancient civilization deciphering data room, Old Zhang turned his head to look at the girl who had come to see him frequently recently, a 15-year-old girl named Chen Qiongzhi, with a slender figure, a still childish face, but with determination between her eyebrows.
Three years ago, the protracted Tianheng Star War began, and many war orphans appeared on the Yaochi ship.
Chen Qiongzhi was one of them. Due to the influence of her father, she was well taken care of among the engineers, code breakers, craftsmen and scientists on the ship.
The only problem was that her personality was too introverted. Even after experiencing the baptism of war and trying to correct her personality, there was still no obvious effect.
On the contrary, these days, she seems to have become more and more obsessed with deciphering ancient characters in order to find out the historical truth about why her alien race targets humans, which has created a greater gap between her and her peers.
Old Zhang naturally noticed this. When he saw this eccentric yet beautiful girl, he couldn't help but think of his own granddaughter, and he felt even more pity for her.
That’s why Old Zhang has a headache.
He turned around, took the document handed over by Chen Qiongzhi, and sighed:
"Hey, little Qiongzhi, you're so young and you want to delve into these things that only old people would read. You'll have fewer and fewer friends in the future."
"I don't want any friends."
Chen Qiongzhi puffed her lips:
"Those stupid and boring peers who only think about playing all day long, there is no benefit in making friends with them, it will only make my determination to become stronger become weaker!"
Lao Zhang: "Haha, if you say that again, I won't help you decipher it."
Chen Qiongzhi: "It's okay if you don't help me, just teach me!"
Lao Zhang: "You, you can't get away with being so cute. There's something wrong with your current state. You're still young, and if you only care about revenge, it will definitely cause huge problems in your life. You should look for other interesting things in life."
"I don't want to! Lao Zhang, I know you all take good care of me, but I can't always rely on you. I hope to be independent as soon as possible and enter the battlefield!"
"Okay, okay, I've been defeated by you. I'll teach you how to decipher it, okay?"
Old Zhang originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Chen Qiongzhi's determined eyes, he opened his mouth and agreed.
It was nothing else, Chen Qiongzhi once again reminded Old Zhang of his granddaughter.
Looks like it, really looks like it.
When was the last time you saw your granddaughter?
Old Zhang couldn't help but start thinking about the past.
…
He has a secret.
He is actually not an ordinary ancient civilization decipher. He was born before the Earth entered the mecha era.
No, it was earlier.
At that time, he was just an ordinary tomb robber. He had been robbing tombs for more than 20 years. Then, during his last tomb robbery before retiring, he accidentally discovered an extremely mysterious ancient relic and obtained a special item.
That thing was very special, only the size of a palm, but it emitted a faint light that made people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
Just by wearing it with you, your fatigue can be quickly relieved and you can feel refreshed.
From that time on, he found that he would never grow old again.
In order to hide this and avoid being discovered by the world, he would move away if he lived in one place for more than 20 years.
This went on for about two hundred years. He found himself getting old, so he started robbing tombs again.
He longed for the power of immortality. (End of this chapter)
