Chapter 11 Desire Play

*

Su Xi let out a breath, gently closed the Star Query System, turned around and walked steadily down the star observation point. The floor lights in the observatory sensed the departure of the last visitor and went out one by one following her steady footsteps.

Behind me, I was engulfed in darkness, with only the faint twinkling of stars outside the dome. In front of me, there was a ding-dong sound, and the elevator to the exit slowly slid open, with a bright light guiding the direction of the exit.

She stepped into the bright elevator space, spun lightly, and stood still.

The downward tourist elevator slowly closed, closing the dark and silent darkness. She turned her head and saw her own reflection in the elevator window. The tears on her face were gone, leaving only a calm and determined face.

…

At this time, in the control room of the Sun Swallow.

Fitzgerald was in the middle of a conference call when he suddenly felt something. He pressed his chest and looked towards the observatory unconsciously. Since the Xingyue system had been adjusted to the highest security level at this moment, Su Xi's query status in the observatory was almost simultaneously sent to the current surveillance screen. He scanned the data flow and roughly understood that she seemed to want to use the Xingyue system to do a search, but failed.

At the same time, he also noticed that Su Xi had checked the civil privacy right for the inquiry behavior. He raised his eyebrows slightly and did not pursue the matter. Even if she was a weak omega, she was still a citizen of the Empire, and her privacy rights should be respected. Although no matter from the legal rules or the current security level, he had the right to check thoroughly, not only on the Sun Devourer, but also in the Empire.

"Your Highness!" Chris Zowei, who was in the holographic three-dimensional meeting, was dressed in a neat uniform and looked serious. "Sir Kotlo is already in place. The biochemical trap in the core module of the defense fortification has been barely repaired. We are waiting to connect with the 'cargo' on the Sun Devourer."

"The Eagle Squad has arrived at the designated location and is on standby!"

"Logistics are ready."

The heads of other departments have reported one by one.

The meeting ended, and the three-dimensional images disappeared one by one. The conference room suddenly became empty, and Chris was the last one to speak, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Fitzgerald closed the other conference interfaces, and now it was just the two of them facing each other in the virtual meeting.

He tilted his head slightly, "Go ahead."

"Regarding Miss Naya," Chris hesitated for a moment, "Would you...consider it again?"

There was silence for a moment.

"I understand that the sooner the position of the crown princess is determined, the less pressure you will have on all sides," the man said indifferently. "Maybe I really need a role like this. But it won't be her."

"No, Your Highness." Chris stood straight in the three-dimensional hologram. She said sincerely, "At this moment, I am not suggesting that you reconsider as a subordinate, but as a friend. Although we only met a few times, Miss Naya gave me a different feeling."

"Albert and I hope that you can have your own life besides shouldering the responsibilities of the Empire."

"I know, thank you and Albert." He gave a tiny smile.

"No matter what, as long as it is your decision, the Zuoi family and I will obey it unconditionally. The Medical Department has prepared a comprehensive physical examination based on the data transmitted by the Sun Tun, and the logistics department has been instructed to stand by to ensure that there is no possibility of any leakage of Ms. Naya's information. In addition, the Imperial Omega Association will also have our people go to the First Fortress to meet you."

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. We just need to wait for the Sun Swallow to arrive at the First Fortress."

After explaining the completion of all the tasks, Chris saluted respectfully, then completely logged off and disappeared.

After Fitzgerald ended the meeting communication, he called up the 3D diagram of the ship's structure and issued reinforcement orders for the red alert area. After thinking for a while, he ordered the Xingyue system to reduce the scope of Su Xi's civil rights.

The AI ​​"UFO" in the U-quality jellyfish suit was now dark gray and was forced into hibernation.

It's almost time for the first interstellar metastasis. Ambush and counter-ambush.

This is the last move to close the net.

Countless lives have been lost, and no loss is allowed.

However, there was always an abnormal feeling stimulating his nerves. The red-haired alpha's expression was cold and hard. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

Any warrior with mental strength as strong as SS level or above, with the intuition honed through countless battles on the battlefield, will not ignore the warnings from his subconscious.

He pressed his chest.

I closed my eyes and smiled. I soon realized that this was just a desire and longing from my instinct.

A struggle that is not worth mentioning.

Also on the Sun Swallow, of the only two active humans, Su Xi seemed much more relaxed compared to the turbulent preparations on Fitzgerald's side.

After returning to her temporary residence on the Sun Swallow from the observatory, she first drank the remaining half tube of nutrient solution in one gulp. After about ten minutes, she felt full. Then she gently touched the 'pebble' plutonium jade chip hanging around her neck, adapted to the new operating method, and adjusted the function of the room.

The silvery white interstellar wind quickly transformed into a forest trail with gurgling water and chirping birds. Su Xi climbed onto the exercise track for physical rehabilitation and slowly walked in this virtual alien-style primeval forest. In fact, for Su Xi, since she came to this world, she was either running and thinking desperately for survival, or sleeping. Even the short relaxation during sleep was physical. The mental level was always tense. In the chaotic thoughts and intertwined memory maze, she tried hard to preserve her self-awareness and the independent existence of her intact personality.

After arriving on the Sun Devourer, she spent her free time using her intelligence system to eagerly read and absorb all kinds of information. She told herself that she must understand and adapt to this era as quickly as possible.

The unique scent of the forest's vegetation blew towards her. Su Xi closed her eyes slightly, letting herself go for a moment, allowing herself to enjoy a short rest. Now there were still about seven hours before the first interstellar jump, which meant that she still had six full interstellar hours at her disposal before entering the jump hibernation.

She switched from the forest walking mode to the more difficult mountain and rock climbing mode. Although this body was extremely weak every time it came out of the hibernation chamber, it recovered at an astonishingly fast speed.

An hour of recovery time passed quickly. Dopamine was secreted after exercise. Su Xi was panting and her face was flushed. Now she felt better and her whole body was relaxed.

I was just sweaty and wanted to take a bath! Su Xi had studied the life assistant system carefully, and the life intelligence on the Sun Swallow could satisfy her various imaginations of lazy life! But each item was marked with a striking energy consumption value, and some of the energy consumption values ​​were particularly high and were marked with points, but as a temporary guest, everything was free for her to use. There was a bathing item, and there were bubble baths with various scents as options, but the energy consumption value was also particularly high, and special points were required. She was too embarrassed to click the "water bath" option button.

Alas! With a sigh, she clicked on the "Quick Nano Clean" option. A gentle buzzing sound was heard, and the washing space was quickly and automatically isolated with a half square meter of space. In this clean isolation space like a transparent soap bubble, a burst of white smoke sprayed out from the showerhead, quickly filling the entire small bubble capsule. Su Xi closed her eyes gently, and the cleaning of her body began.

In this interstellar era, personal hygiene cleaning follows the principle of 'thorough and fast', and you don't have to take off your clothes. Yes! When she used it for the first time, she was completely unaccustomed to this method of cleaning without taking off clothes, but after several times, she was reluctantly...adapted to this nano-cleaning method that is invisible to the naked eye in the mist...right?

Bathtub of remembering the earth.jpg, bubble bath not only cleanses the body, but also clears the tiredness of the mind, right? !

There were many complaints about the way humans cleaned themselves in the interstellar era. But Su Xi had no right to be picky, so after quickly cleaning herself, she looked up and looked at the electronic display of the clock.

There are still five hours left.

She quickly sat back in front of the query terminal and put on her virtual helmet. Since receiving the opening of civil rights, she could check the situation of all non-core military areas on the Sun Tun. She was very interested in this!

She first read the ship manual of the Sun Tun, which was a completely subconscious action. Whether she was on a business trip, traveling, or moving to a new environment, checking the fire escape map, emergency button protection on the vehicle, etc. was one of the good habits she developed in her independent life over the years.

What's more, she was very interested in the composition and situation of the Sun-Swallow. A half-biological and half-mechanical battleship was actually subject to the Universe Rare Organisms Protection Act in the laws and regulations of the Interstellar Empire!

The Sun-devourer is mainly divided into three parts. The core part is the Sun-devourer organism, which was restored from the remaining DNA of the ancient Sun-devourer. There is only one of its kind in the entire universe. Seeing the miniature image with big eyes and a droopy head in the 3D hologram is so... so ugly and cute!

Su Xi couldn't help but reach out and hold the cute little animal, which had shrunk to who knows how many times, in her palm and stroked it gently. The Q version of the little animal rubbed against her palm, turned around and continued to snore. Su Xi widened her eyes in joy, and a huge smile appeared on her delicate face.

She gently put aside the cutest part of the Sun-Swallower. The virtual beast model rolled to one side, then rolled to her palm and rubbed it. Of course, the virtual holographic model had no feel, but Su Xi still carefully and virtually held it in her palm and caressed it.

Chirp, chirp! Oh my god, this little beast model can actually simulate sounds! Su Xi's girlish heart is about to be melted by it!

Until this virtual model of the sun-eating beast curled up into a smooth ball and fell asleep in the palm of her hand, she wondered in her heart, is it too smart to be a model?

She wanted to further inquire about the principle of this model, but was denied access. Looking at the big red universal language "Military Information", Su Xi gave up obediently.

Then he turned to study the exoship part which was a biological body. This part was controlled and maintained by the main ship's intelligent computer, and could also transform with the biological stimulation of the Sun Devourer's core to adapt to various conditions during interstellar navigation. Su Xi flipped through several models, from the sea bat shape in constant speed cruising to the light shuttle shape in the interstellar leap state... Su Xi was very interested in watching, and there were some contents that could only be viewed with military authority, so Su Xi stopped and was no longer overly curious.

Finally, there is the completely detachable pure battleship mechanical body, which carries the central control computer area, the navigation bridge area, the crew living area, and the cargo storage area.

It's really interesting, isn't it?

*

There are still four star hours left before the leap into hibernation.

Su Xi shook her head. She had spent more than half an hour playing with the core biological part of the Sun-devouring Beast. She didn't have much time left. After waking up from hibernation, she probably wouldn't have any chance to board the private warship of His Royal Highness Wang Chu, the first heir to the throne of the empire. She had to hurry and study it.

Su Xi concentrated on playing with the internal structure of the pure battleship mechanical body. She used her fingers to expand the scale of the virtual holographic model. The holographic model was divided into three color areas. The blue one was her private privacy area, which was a pitiful little spot on the entire holographic model. The slightly larger area was the yellow area such as the control room and the observatory, which could be opened to her after sending a request.

On the holographic structural diagram, the largest area is red, including most of the crew's living areas such as the infirmary. She even noticed that the entertainment room was also marked in red.

Are the red areas absolutely prohibited?

Why are military areas such as the important computer control room, the observatory for information storage, and the bridge area for combat command all open to her under certain conditions, while areas such as the public infirmary, entertainment room, and storage that are used for logistical life are prohibited to her?

Why?

What's there?

Is she curious? Of course!

However, as she stared at the red area in the virtual helmet for a long time, she seemed to hear a mysterious and ethereal singing voice, a kind of incomprehensible interstellar language. Su Xi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she felt that the singing voice seemed to be tempting her...

Endless beauty is waiting for her...

Listening to the mysterious interstellar song that came from nowhere, Su Xi's heart was inexplicably filled with an irresistible curiosity...urging her to embark on a little exploration and adventure.

Urge her... to fulfill her most desired wish at this moment... not to regret... her deepest desire...

And what she wants to accomplish most at this moment is...

At this moment, the clock shows that there are still three star hours left before leaving the leap hibernation state.

The confused brown-haired girl obeyed her inner desire and stood up...
