Chapter 289
Qi Xi ran back to the room, opened the cabinet, and at A0's instruction, took out a handbag and put clothes in it.
He didn't even fold them properly, just stuffed them all into his bag, tied a knot, and was done with it.
"I'm ready."
A0 watched as the cores started to overheat from overspeed. He patted Chongzi's shoulder and said, "Go to the side. I'll help you clean up."
[Really? It's such a mess. How are you going to find it when you need it later?]
"Just pour it all out." Qi Xi, who had a carefree personality, muttered, but still obediently moved aside to make room for the robot insect.
"Youyou, hurry up."
A0, who was using a robotic arm to take things out and reorganize them, said: "Got it. Go get anything else you need to take. You'll have to stay at your brother's for a week this time."
Qi Xi moved a small stool specially made for him by his father and sat down, a little surprised.
"So long?"
Maybe it will be more than a week. If Your Majesty the Lord doesn't have time in the next few days, the kid will have to stay with Qi Lan until he goes to school.
A0 not only knows the Lord's schedule very well, but also knows exactly what the Chief Consul will do next. Although he says so, he knows in his heart that it will definitely take more than a week.
But this cannot be said to the cubs. Let them know that they have not seen their male and female fathers for such a long time, and there is no need to wait a week. They should make a big fuss now.
[It's packed.]
A0's robotic arm worked very efficiently and picked up the luggage bag very consciously.
"Then let's go."
"Yes, I haven't told my brother yet that I'm going to his place." Qi Xi opened the light brain to send a message.
"How are we going to get there?"
The previous few times I went to visit my brother, I always followed Xiong's father. "Are you also taking a flying vehicle?"
[No, we'll take the train. I've already made a reservation.]
"Yeah."
"Youyou, if there is a train, then I can go to see my brother whenever I want."
Qi Xi skipped and walked in front, not forgetting to talk to it.
When they climbed into the taxi that had been waiting at the door for a while, Qi Xi was still very excited. This was the first time he went out alone without his female father and male father by his side.
[Of course you can, but the prerequisite is to obtain your parents' consent.]
"The male father will definitely agree, and the female father... well, he should agree too, right?"
"Isn't it safe?"
"Is Xiong's father on the ground now? The train can go from here to my brother's place. Then can I also go to my brother's house to find Xiong's father?"
Qi Xi suddenly had an idea, patted A0's mechanical head, and said happily.
A0: ...No, we absolutely cannot let the bug cubs disturb the Lord's work. That would make us look incompetent.
I promised the Lord that I would definitely look after the insect cub! How could I not do that?
[The Lord is very busy recently. Even if you go, I won't be able to play with you.]
[Your brother plays with you, aren't you satisfied? ]
As the commander, Qi Lan has always been very idle, and he can split out a clone while his main body continuously produces the original Zerg larvae.
This clone carries part of the original body's mental power and is usually only temporarily activated when Qi Heng and others arrive. At other times, Qi Lan would rather let this part of the mental power sleep than keep it awake.
"No."
"I'm very satisfied, okay?"
"That's right, it would be great if everyone was here. When will the female father and the male father be inseparable?" Qi Xi frowned, looking a little sentimental.
【……】
A0 didn't say anything because it couldn't give an answer.
When will we finally be able to be together? That would probably take many years. In the Lord's plans for the next few years, there wasn't much time left for him to even stay on Tianyun Star.
Compared to the future, it is already good that Qi Xi can still see the Lord from time to time.
However, it was better not to tell this tragic news, as he was afraid that the fragile and young mind of the insect cub could not withstand the blow - then again, it was said that missing a child's growth was not good for the child.
Shouldn't Your Excellency, the Lord, come back more often to see the cubs?
A0 thought about it and wrote this down, planning to report it to the Lord next time he spoke to him. If he could convince the Lord to change his mind, that would be great.
It’s been too long since I came back for several years.
Even in a society like Tianjia civilization where male insects rarely appear in family parenting activities, he is too invisible. Those who don't know would think that the Lord has abandoned his wife and children.
Just when A0 was thinking about how to comfort Qi Xi, Qi Xi had already comforted herself.
"But it doesn't matter. It's the same when I play with my brother."
"And Youyou, you are here too. I am very happy to have you accompany me." Xizi came forward and gave the robot bug a hug.
Qi Xi knew that Youyou was an intelligent AI, but even knowing that didn't stop him from treating Ghost as a family member.
A0 who was being hugged: ——What a good little one, you are worthy of being the insect cub of the Lord.
The other side.
In the underground base of the Dead Egg Pit, which has been renamed the 'Incubation Base', Qi Lan awakened his clone as soon as he received the message from his brother. After all, most of his main consciousness and mental power cannot leave his main body.
The incubation base has been undergoing continuous renovations during this period. After confirming that there are sufficient materials to repair the underground base, Qi Heng approved the base's repair plan.
We don't ask for a complete restoration to its original state, but at least 70% of it should be restored.
As a result, many small machines were transported to the incubation base and the base began to be renovated and repaired.
The incubation base itself is of excellent quality. It used the best materials and designs thousands of years ago, but it fell into disrepair and was bombed, losing its proper functions.
Repairing based on the existing foundation is easier and more budget-friendly than rebuilding a new one, and it can be repaired faster.
The restoration and reconstruction extended outward from the core area where Qi Lan was located, so this place was completely different from the last time Qi Xi came here. It was clean, bright, spacious and elegant.
"Wow, what a big change."
After the train arrived at the station, Qi Xi appeared in a hall and was then taken to the core area where Qi Lan was.
"Youyou, are you right?"
[Once the dungeon is built, it will be as good as this one.]
The hatching base no longer looks like its original adobe form, and the overall look is very sci-fi, but the people coming and going in this base are not humans, but primitive Zerg who obey orders like an army.
Under Qi Lan's command, all the original Zerg performed their duties.
Before they were born, what they should do from birth to death had already been arranged. They have no individual consciousness, no brains, and grow quickly, making them the best consumables.
Qi Heng might feel a little guilty about exploiting the Tianjia Zerg and need to consider arranging reasonable remuneration, benefits, etc. for them, but he has no such concerns at all for the original Zerg.
The same is not necessary for program-controlled robots.
A0, who had several rollers installed under his belly and was following Qi Xi in the passage, did not receive an answer, because the insect cub that was supposed to respond to him ran forward after seeing a figure standing in front of him.
"Brother, hug me——"
"Okay." Qi Lan stretched out his forelimbs, which had been adjusted to be more like arms, caught the cub that pounced on him, picked it up and turned it around.
"I haven't been here for a long time. Do you miss your brother?"
"I think so." Xizi moved his face forward and pressed it against his brother, whose whole body was soft.
Qi Lan knew that the ghost had a subroutine following Qi Xi, so when he saw the robot bug sliding up, he said nothing and carried Qi Xi inside.
"I'll stay a few more days this time. The base has changed a lot, and there are many places to visit..."
"OK."
"My father-in-law also told me to stay with my brother for a few more days. They are very busy."
Lying in Qi Lan's arms, Qi Xi muttered: "Fortunately, brother, you are not busy, otherwise I would have to stay alone."
"There's no other way, because there are too few usable insects on Tianyun Star. Otherwise, Xiong's father and the others would have some free time." Qi Lan touched Qi Xi's head and comforted him.
As the commander-in-chief, Qi Lan's authority is extremely high. He is almost on the same level as the chief consul Chu Xiu, and only below Qi Heng.
In addition, Qi Lan is required in many of Qi Heng's plans, so many plans are open to Qi Lan, and there are even relevant information notifications at each stage.
After listening to his brother's words, Qi Lan thought about it for a while and knew what Xiong's father and the others were busy with during this period.
But he would not tell these words to Qi Xi.
"When you come, have fun at my brother's place. You can play whatever you want."
Qi Lan, who also acts like a spoiled child and acts cute in front of Qi Heng, is also a good brother who dotes on his younger brother Qi Xi.
"Thank you, brother. You are so nice." Qi Xi said sweetly.
Qi Lan's words laid the foundation for the unfortunate future of the original Zerg in the hatching base.
——A male insect cub who is spoiled and lawless, has no guardian insect around, and has strong energy. His strange ideas can definitely make people crazy.
…
When Qi Xi went to play with Qi Lan, Chu Xiu, who was busy with work, was in a community not far from Shuguang Station. He had just finished the final check.
There is only him.
The train carrying the reserve soldiers is expected to arrive at Shuguang Station in one hour. It's waiting for you at the door.
The intelligent AI 'Zhi Ge' reminder sounded.
Chu Xiu is the only one on the entire Tianyun Star who can be said to have some knowledge of military affairs. Naturally, Chu Xiu is fully responsible for recruiting female insects who are willing to join the army.
During this period, the task of recruiting female insects was taken over by Zhi Ge after he was awakened, and Chu Xiu only did the final review and approval.
"I see."
After replying to the message sent by the ghost, Chu Xiu picked up the coat beside him and walked out.
Logically speaking, Chu Xiu should have an assistant, just like Lan Yi and the others were in charge of other matters. This would help reduce his workload and also train a group of experienced people.
Qi Heng just mentioned it but Chu Xiu rejected it.
He said that since they were to follow his subordinates, it would be more appropriate for him to choose them himself.
Qi Heng thought about it and it made sense, so he followed Chu Xiu. After all, this was an area he was not good at, so he decided not to interfere and cause trouble for Chu Xiu.
As for what Chu Xiu said about the subordinates he wanted to select personally, where were they?
Look, it's almost here.
To reorganize the army and select military management, we naturally have to choose from female insects who come from the military.
There is no better choice than to choose from these reserves.
It is a good opportunity to observe carefully during the training period, select suitable officers at each level, and manage them from bottom to top and then from top to bottom.
An hour later, Dawn Station.
Chu Xiu stood on the second floor, looking down from the railing.
Along with the train entering the station came the female insects who signed up for enlistment. According to the notice, they brought nothing with them except themselves.
At this moment, the number of female insects in the hall outside the Shuguang Station exit is increasing.
Whenever a new female insect leaves the station, a robot insect will come forward to guide it in time. Under the command of the robot insect, the female insects are brought to the side in groups of five or ten.
...A whole train can only carry more than 2,000 insects at full capacity, so it is certainly impossible to transport all the female insects that have registered for one period.
Even if the train can go back and forth several times, Chu Xiu is only one person and he cannot manage so many recruits at once.
The female insects that arrived today are only the first batch. The second batch will arrive in three days, which can be regarded as a buffer period.
However, even with two thousand female insects, it is not easy to manage them.
If Zhige had not arranged in advance to use the robot insects to maintain order in the exit hall, the situation on the first floor would have been even more chaotic and worse.
Chu Xiu adjusted the miniature loudspeaker on his ear and placed the microphone of the loudspeaker next to his lips.
Now that the new recruits have arrived, it’s time for me to show up.
