Chapter 214
Tianyun Star.
This place seems no different from before Qi Heng arrived. Looking down from the sky, apart from scattered buildings that remain from thousands of years ago, there are only two obvious gathering places on the surface.
The camera moves closer and shortens the distance. Female insects come and go in the two gathering places, and everything seems to remain the same.
In gathering place No. 2.
Zone 1.
The one-horned man who used to be high and mighty, beating and scolding the Zerg in his jurisdiction and was arrogant and rude, now had a philistine smile on his face no matter what he thought in his heart.
"It's really hard to survive even a single day these days." The one-horned man numbered 019 complained.
They are working to provide the most basic food supply to the Zerg in the residential area.
Tianyun Star is a prison for the Zerg, and they are just jailers. Although their status is higher than that of the Zerg, it is not that high.
In addition to being domineering in front of the Zerg, he had to be respectful when facing those members of the Ikal civilization.
But even so, those days were better than now.
After all, we only saw members of the Ikal civilization a few times a year before. At other times, they had the final say in the gathering place and could do whatever they wanted. If they were unhappy, they could vent their anger on these Zerg and no one would care.
However, just three months ago, this 'good time' came to an end with the arrival of a person.
Not only that, they also have to pay the price for what they did in the past. As for how much price they have to pay to atone for their sins...it all depends on the mood of the person.
Now, they just live one day at a time, and no one dares to think about what will happen after they lose their usefulness.
Even though they are complaining here now, if they really don’t have to work, they will be terrified and beg for mercy.
"For the past few months, supplies have only gone out, not in. Even if there were any leftover supplies from previous years, they've almost all been distributed."
The amount of supplies shipped from outside Tianyun Star every year is not much. It is mainly used to ensure the needs of the members of the Ikar civilization on Tianyun Star, and secondly to take care of the needs of these jailers.
Finally, it was the turn of the millions of Zerg in the two gathering places.
If the supplies needed by millions of insects are supplied without limit, the supplies delivered every year will not be enough.
Therefore, for some supplies that can only be transported in from the outside, such as medicines, they have always been supplied according to the minimum supply, with only the guarantee that not too many people will die.
Anyway, the number of millions will not affect the Zerg population on Tianyun Star at all unless it suddenly drops to a certain level.
"That's nothing we can do. We just have to obey orders."
"It's gone anyway, so you can't blame us."
In Gathering Area No. 2, I have been responsible for examining all Zerg who are feeling unwell this month. Given the Zerg's physical fitness, most injuries and diseases cannot affect them, but once symptoms appear, they are not simple minor illnesses or pains.
The used medicine is like running water.
In those three months, they never imagined that one day they would be able to work part-time as teachers, doctors, and so on. Of course, they were replaced by Internet AI not long after they started working.
This man who calls himself "doctor" must be quite influential, as he was able to build a long-term, effective, and widely covered network system on Tianyun Star.
"I heard from my brothers who came back from Area 49 that something is being built over there."
"On the ground?"
"right."
"You're so blatant, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Outside Tianyun Star, the satellites hanging above their heads are constantly monitoring them. No matter how deep they dig underground, they will not be discovered. However, if any large buildings appear on the ground, the satellites can see them clearly with just a scan.
“I don’t know.”
"Besides...it's also a question whether the satellite is still useful..."
If it were useful, we would have discovered the incident on Tianyun Star long ago.
But think about the Day of the Falling Star. The fleet that arrived that day didn't notice anything wrong, and the satellite was as useless as if it had been destroyed and didn't send out any alarm.
The District 49 mentioned by the unicorn man is the place where Qi Heng appeared after traveling through time.
Site selection...
The place that was called the dead egg pit in the past was cleared, and the insect eggs buried in it were dug out layer by layer. Except for the top layer where the prototype of the insect eggs could still be seen, those at the bottom could no longer be distinguished from the soil.
Below the dead egg pit was originally the egg breeding center of Tianyun Star. After thousands of years of erosion, the buried part can still be used, and the upper ground buildings have a brand new look after redesign.
The new building spans the entire Dead Egg Pit.
The damaged underground layer of the original Dead Egg Pit was repaired, and due to limited conditions on the ground, only one layer was added.
The overall height is fifteen meters and it covers an area of over ten thousand square meters.
The exterior style is very rough. Due to the limitation of materials, the hardened walls are mixed with hard metal frames, and the newly produced glass from the newly put into production glass production line is installed as windows.
Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the interior layout.
Several areas were hastily divided with metal grilles, each with dozens of simple windows, similar to the layout in a service hall.
In addition to these, there are also mechanical insects about 30 centimeters tall that roll around on rolling pulleys.
Behind one of the service windows.
A tall and handsome young man was sitting on a chair. He pressed the table twice with his hands, and a series of characters scrolled on the projected virtual screen.
The above text is the common text of Tianjia civilization, which means 'the system is starting up and initialization configuration is in progress'.
After working so hard for so long, I finally made some progress.
[Your Excellency, the monitoring satellite has sent back new information.]
After hearing what A0 said, he said, "Speak."
After Qi Heng and others completed the system initialization, he went to the background page and his subordinates quickly entered the key on the virtual keyboard.
Finally, press the Run button.
The next moment, the intelligent system of the entire central hall completed the latest update and the entire system began trial operation.
[The system is running successfully.]
He breathed a sigh of relief and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Although there will be absolutely no problems if A0 is in charge of this system, this is the first program I have written after all.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous at all.
【It's Ji Lin, they're back. 】
"Yeah, it's two days earlier than expected." Qi Heng stood up and said, "The supplies in Gathering Area No. 2 are almost used up."
A0 called up the inventory system and checked.
[Yes, Your Excellency, the remaining supplies will be exhausted within seven days.]
"Learn them to land and proceed as planned."
【yes. 】
A0 is very reliable.
If it were any other time, it would definitely be talkative, after all, that's its personality setting.
But having just been taught a lesson and put in solitary confinement for a few days, A0 really didn't dare challenge the Lord's temper.
——The fact that Lu Ze had been loaded with a bug program related to searching for the ‘Oath’ was exposed. As expected, it successfully backstabbed the Lord, but was then locked up in the system’s small black room by the Lord.
If it didn't have multiple functions and was not the most useful AI under the Lord, it would probably have been shut down for more than just a few days.
**
Outside the Tianyun Star.
Several starships were anchored about 50,000 kilometers away from Tianyun Star.
Inside the main ship, Ji Lingang sent information about their arrival through a satellite outside Tianyun Star.
Looking at Tianyunxing on the screen, Ji Lin and the others, who had been away from home for many days, felt a little homesick.
Although life in the Western Ring Star Belt is much better than on Tianyun Star, this is their home.
Go home and make them happy from the bottom of their hearts.
[Wu Jin: Received a message from 'Ghost', do you want to open it?]
"Open."
When they were on Tianyun Star, they had always used the forum to communicate, and Ji Lin certainly would not forget the name of "Ghost".
A ghostly program appeared in the middle of the screen, and characters kept popping up.
【First of all, welcome home. 】
[Secondly, I will send out a guidance signal, and the Neverember will follow the guidance and land.]
Logically speaking, a large starship like the Wujin cannot enter the interior of a habitable planet, but the Tianyun Star is no different from a desolate planet now, so landing directly is the most convenient approach.
"Okay, Mr. Ghost."
The starship traveled a distance of 50,000 kilometers, penetrated the atmosphere of Tianyun Star, and flew towards gathering place No. 2.
The huge starship passed through the sky and could not be concealed when it landed. Almost at the same time, all the Zerg in the gathering place raised their heads.
This scene is so similar to the Day of Falling Stars.
It was just that it was night on the day of falling stars, and not many Zerg dared to watch with curiosity.
Once the network covers the gathering place, any changes can be transmitted directly through the network.
Qi Heng sent the notice as early as when the starship entered the planet.
As soon as the notice was sent, all the unicorns with optical computers in each district received it immediately.
A radio was installed in each area. The One-Horned Man used the radio as instructed in the notice to inform the Zerg in the area that the starship was transporting supplies and there would be no danger, and to reassure them that they did not need to be afraid.
This is not the first time something like this has happened since the radio was installed.
To be precise, ever since Qi Heng installed radios in each district, the radios have been operating for fifteen minutes every morning and evening.
When there is something to do, he will play a notification. When there is nothing to do, he will play some film, television and music works of the Zerg from ten thousand years ago that Qi Heng found from the system.
Dead Egg Pit, no, it should be said that it is the central hall of Tianyun Star.
The starship stopped at a location about five kilometers away from the central hall.
This distance is roughly within the mining area outside Area 49.
Thanks to the hard work of the original Zerg, the mine in this area was completely exhausted a week ago, but the underground that was dug out was not wasted.
The underground city's storage area is located here.
The storage area is connected to the underground transportation network, and materials can be transported to various parts of the underground city, which has already taken shape, via underground rail transport vehicles.
The large holes originally dug out by mining have become elevators capable of transporting materials underground after reinforcement and reconstruction.
Qi Heng came over from the central hall on a flying vehicle, and his speed was even faster than Lan Yi who came from the underground city.
"Fortunately, we made it in time."
Lan came here as soon as he received the news, looked at the landing starship, and smiled at him.
He used the appearance of a doctor.
'Doctor' and Qi Heng are two people. Knowing that both of them belong to him, they can be counted on one hand.
The starship came to a stop.
Ji Lin and the others couldn't wait to get off the starship.
"You are Mr. Doctor, right? I am Ji Lin."
"Nice to meet you, it's our first time." Ji Lin was a little excited that he could hardly suppress.
Not only was it the first time he saw the doctor in person, but even the photo of the doctor was sent by Ghost when he landed on Tianyun Star.
