Chapter 227 Lumen Awakens
"You have no respect for the old man's character at all." Master Forging Dreams stood up. "You are indeed a psychopath who dares to clash with a mecha the first time he puts on armor."
"Respected old immortal, please save the mecha." Xu Lingqu followed him into the laboratory.
Master Dream Forging looked at her with disdain, and his mechanical assistant lifted the life capsule onto the experimental table.
He pressed a button, and a blue light suddenly enveloped the lifeboat. Then, a layer of pure white metal-like objects of unknown material fell off from the outside, and they turned into scattered mecha parts one by one. Master Duanmeng sighed and put them aside.
"You psychopath who brought Lumen to blow up the wormhole..." Master Duanmeng glanced at Xu Lingqu, "What did Lumen tell you at that time?"
"It said it has a 60% chance of protecting me." This time, Xu Lingqu did not continue to argue with him and answered the question quietly.
"It's right. The SSS-class mecha's life capsule is indeed durable enough to still have a 60% chance of survival at the center of the explosion. But as far as I know, there are other mecha starship fragments flying in that wormhole. In this process, even if the life capsule is not destroyed by the explosion, it will be damaged by these fragments."
The Dream Forging Master put on gloves and assembled the parts. "But your lifeboat is perfectly protected. Do you want to know why?"
Xu Lingqu didn't say anything.
"Even if an SSS-class mecha self-destructs, it can still preserve 30% of its original form. After the Lumen self-destructs, the parts will gather together, and it can maneuver itself to avoid the fragments." Master Forging Dreams said as he assembled the mecha, "But this idiot didn't do that."
"It chose to tightly wrap your lifeboat, increasing your survival rate to 90%, even at the cost of reducing the original 30% of your body to only 7%."
Xu Lingqu was an unlucky person. A 60% survival rate was still too dangerous for her. Liu Ming managed to raise the survival rate to 90%.
"This stupid dog is so silly and has always been conceited..." Master Duanmeng said as he opened a box in the corner of the laboratory. He took out a ball of material that looked very special from it. He did not explain to Xu Lingqu what it was and started making parts by himself.
Xu Lingqu stood by and after several hours, Master Duanmeng turned the mass of material into a huge pure white part and pieced it together with other scattered parts of Lumen.
At the same time, the ring on Xu Lingqu's hand became hot, and just like the first time she saw it, a group of Samoyeds suddenly appeared at her feet.
Liuming looked around confusedly. When he saw Xu Lingqu, he suddenly exclaimed "Wow" and pounced on her.
"It's so good that you're still alive, woooo, it's so good."
Xu Lingqu, who had been fighting the mecha with his physical body in the morning, was almost knocked off balance by his own pet.
Master Duanmeng looked at the touching scene of the master and servant's reunion with a sour face. "Alright, alright, stop. We have just restored your body to 10%. You only have two hours a day to regain your consciousness."
Liu Ming, who was clinging to Xu Lingqu, turned around and glanced at Master Duanmeng after hearing this: "Hey, you..."
"You don't have a bad temper, do you? Why do you look so ugly now?" Liu Ming had no respect for his savior. He frowned and introduced Xu Lingqu, "This is another friend of Yinhe, the sour-faced monster. He always looks unhappy..."
Master Duanmeng was so angry that he gave it a cold look and returned to his seat.
Xu Lingqu kept comforting Liuming until the two hours mentioned by Master Duanmeng were up, and then it lay on the ground motionless as if it had been forced to shut down.
"This is the fate of spoiling a child. I told Yinhe a long time ago not to spoil Liuming too much. Looking at his behavior, it is clear that Yinhe spoiled him. He found a second owner, who spoiled him even more." Master Duanmeng looked up at Xu Lingqu sitting in front of him, "Let Yinhe get out of here. Stop pretending to be dead because you don't keep your promise."
He frowned and said, "I won't argue with him anymore. Tell him to come over quickly."
Xu Lingqu glanced at Master Duanmeng and said, "He's really dead. I didn't lie to you."
"Impossible." Master Dream Forger suddenly pounded the table. "If he's dead, how do you explain your presence?"
Xu Lingqu didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
"You are definitely not an interstellar human. Yinhe is obviously the last human to be awakened. Could it be that you were secretly hidden by him?" Master Duanmeng seemed unable to accept the fact that Yinhe was dead. He kept refuting or questioning Xu Lingqu, inadvertently giving Xu Lingqu a lot of information.
"How can you be sure that I am definitely not an interstellar human?" Xu Lingqu interrupted.
"Because the emperor who frequently kills his imperial physician is a characteristic character in ancient Chinese costume dramas, interstellar humans don't know this trope, and even if they did, they wouldn't use it so naturally." Master Forging Dreams continued to ask, "As the pilot, could it be possible that Yinhe hid you on a planet before hibernating?"
Driver? Hibernation?
"You really look like you know nothing." Master Dream Forging suddenly slumped down in his chair in frustration. "It seems that Yinhe is indeed dead, otherwise you wouldn't be unaware of these things."
His voice was hoarse, and he looked like an old man who was extremely lonely because his children did not come home, with melancholy in his eyes that was about to overflow.
"It's the same if you tell me." Xu Lingqu said.
Upon hearing this, Master Duanmeng sat up straight and stared at her: "What do you want to know?"
"What is the history before the Federation? How did interstellar humanity originate? And, what do you mean by galactic pilots?"
Master Duanmeng nodded as he listened, and when Xu Lingqu finished speaking, he raised his head.
"Before the Federation, the history that was jointly buried by the Empire and the Federation was the Interstellar Republic."
