Chapter 100 Eye of Horus You have to go back and give him two swears...
Bai Ling returned to the ward and took a casual glance. The mermaid was covered with various electrodes and detectors, which looked very cyberpunk.
The floating screen displays the patient's condition in real time. The medical AI system calculates that the patient's own cells are promoting healing, which is expected to take another 16 hours.
Bai Ling estimated the time and was afraid that he would not be able to accompany the other party for these 16 hours.
The pain pump squeaked twice, reminding me that I needed to add medicine, but it was only two or three seconds late, and a tingling and splitting pain began to appear under my ribs. Yu Chen pressed the medication button, and the analgesic slowly flowed out of the spinal canal and then flowed coldly into the venous blood.
Bone-chilling cold.
Taking too much medicine will cause dizziness. In a blur, someone came over and held his hand, rubbed it together, and then bent down to kiss his cold knuckles.
There were calluses on the other person's palms, and his finger bones were thin but very hot.
It's his sweet little bird.
Yu Chen rolled his eyes and slowly looked at Bai Ling's hesitant face, which was full of worry and some self-blame. He smiled and said:
"Don't be like this, I brought this upon myself."
Bai Ling lowered his eyes silently and said nothing. Yu Chen coaxed again: "Come here, let me hug you."
It really touched Bai Ling's heart. He was just thinking about how to ask for the hug, but the mermaid saw through him and gave it to him.
The way an old man hugs you is powerful and protective. He will subconsciously support the back of your head and put his other hand around your waist, keeping you firmly and securely in his arms. This is a small habit developed from countless life experiences, and now it overflows from the details bit by bit. When your necks touch, every breath trembles, as if telling of his deep love for you.
"You're leaving?"
After all, his age is there, and Yu Chen is much more sensitive than young people imagine.
"I came to say hello to you," Bai Ling rubbed the golden hair, which had a pleasant seaweed smell. "You can't go back to the palace. It's too dangerous there. We have to move out as soon as possible. Do you have any favorite things in your bedroom? I'll go get them for you."
Yu Chen kissed his cheek and laughed softly: "No, it's all here."
Bai Ling's heartbeat suddenly became louder. It must be said that this kind of tenderness afterward made her fingers numb. They broke away from the fierce pursuit and just hugged each other warmly, sharing each other's body temperature, whispering in each other's ears, being patient and not impatient. Even if they were emotionally intense before, they would be properly settled here.
"I'm serious. I'm not kidding you. Seriously, files, flowers, bed sheets, and an air-cushioned comb for combing your hair, choose a few and take them away."
Yu Chen thought for a moment, moved away from him, and told him, "Bring me my coat."
Bai Ling didn't understand, but still reached out and grabbed the cashmere coat on the chair. The mermaid lowered her eyes, her long golden hair flowing into the folds of the silk lining of her dark coat like a river in shallows. He opened his inner pocket, took out a key and placed it in Bai Ling's palm.
The key is a very ordinary key, even a little rusty.
"Take it to the chambers, and the AI will tell you which door it is the key to. Open it, and you'll know what I want you to bring back."
Bai Ling raised his eyebrows. There were many locked doors in the palace. He wondered what was behind this door.
He asked, “Is there a lot of stuff?”
Yu Chen chuckled and said, "At least you alone can't move it."
Very good, the dark night pullets - the porter chickens can come in handy.
Bai Ling was thinking about it. After finishing the most important thing, he brought up the secondary thing: "I know this is a bit reluctant. After all, Gorgon may not only have you in charge, but can you lend me a ship, a starship-level ship? It doesn't matter if it's a little broken, as long as it can be driven."
Yu Chen said, "No."
"ah?"
"I'll give it to you as a small investment in addition to the 40 billion."
Really rich. Bai Ling's scalp tingled a little. He had a hunch that the other party's small investment must be at the level of "making 100 million first".
"Which airport is the ship docked at? I want to pick it up now and make some preparations early."
Yu Chen lifted the corner of his shirt, put his cold hands in, and stroked the flesh along the spine without hesitation, causing the bird's feathers on its head to explode. But he still didn't stop. He moved his fingertips forward under the thick sweater, rubbing the outline of the ribs, and gently pinched the small piece of meat with his thumb and index finger.
"Hiss..." Bai Ling gasped and subconsciously wanted to shrink.
After being glanced at by Yu Chen, he silently straightened his chest and offered it to the old bastard to play with.
There is no way, since this is the sponsor who promised to send the large warship.
Bai Ling was so distracted by this that he could no longer suppress his anger. He had no choice but to hug his neck and press the hand that was fanning the flames between their chests to prevent him from moving. Then he leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"Which airport did you stop at?"
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he turned to look at him, his eyes darkened inexplicably, and he said to him: "Next time you ask me to go slower, remember to use this tone."
Bai Ling: "...Fuck!"
The mermaid finally showed mercy and let him go. She then said lightly, "You will know the location of the ship."
Old fox, it’s a waste of time to play with him!
Yu Chen said sternly: "If you dare to secretly buy egg-avoiding medicine behind my back again, I will spank you."
It turned out that she was waiting for him here.
Bai Ling snorted coldly, bit his lips, and exposed him mercilessly: "Beast, you wish I would make a mistake."
·
Picking up the hen's wings, the two swam back to the palace through the waterway.
Floating to the surface, Sava was amazed at the luxury of the pool: "I didn't expect there was a bathhouse hidden here. Is there a breast massage service?"
"No." Bai Ling took him into the kitchen, poured a glass of milk and put it on his chicken beak.
"Hey, this milk tastes the same as the one your guardian sent last time."
"Is it possible that this is his milk?"
"?! He still has this ability, how did he evolve? Teach me!"
"…He bought the milk, not produced it. Please have a normal mind, you stinky chicken." Bai Ling really had no way to deal with Sava, so he just let him have a circle of milk stains on his mouth, and like a security guard, he walked around with his hands behind his back, observing him curiously.
After walking around for a while, Sava stood in the living room, confused: "Why do I feel this place is a little familiar?"
"You came with me to the garden to pick tomatoes."
"No, I haven't been inside the house before. This time when I entered the house, I felt that the structure here was very familiar... For example, there is a corridor here, and there are three doors at the back——"
Sava leaned over and saw three doors.
Damn it, he was right.
But looking at the decorations nearby, he was sure that he had never been to a similar place. Where did that strange feeling of familiarity come from?
Before he could think it over, Bai Ling had already asked about the room location, and under the guidance of the little robot, he took the key and went to open the door.
They went down two flights of stairs and walked for more than ten minutes before they arrived. Sava was surprised and said, "This place is quite big."
Bai Ling nodded. He had similar feelings when he first came here. He felt that this place was too big to be a bedroom, and the room structure was also very strange. Some places were very empty, while some corridors were so narrow that only one person could pass through. There was a sense of space being saved and wasted.
I don't know what the designer was thinking.
The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and finally we arrived in front of a door with mottled paint. The door is gray and the color of the handle has been worn off. It is obvious that many people have entered and exited this door.
Although the key is rusty, it opens easily with a click.
The moment he opened the door, Bai Ling suddenly had an idea and remembered an unimportant thing.
In fact, electronic devices are very easy to break down, especially password locks. If you are not careful or forget to update the system, they may be hacked by outsiders. In addition, a power outage may also cause the door to be unable to open.
In order to avoid these risks, many important places still maintain the original key + physical lock configuration.
The simplest things are often the hardest to break.
So what kind of valuables are locked in this door that the mermaid is so eager to take it away?
"Wow!" It was pitch black inside the door, but Sava had excellent night vision and could see everything clearly in just a blink of an eye.
Following that exclamation, the light spread inward inch by inch from where they stood. It was like the first ray of rising sunlight accurately shining into the long corridor of the Abu Simbel Temple. The faces of the shrines hidden deep inside were illuminated one by one. Under the gridded bridge under their feet, the huge installations also unveiled their long-sealed veils under the lights, revealing their magnificent layout.
High-pressure turbines, air separators, nuclear auxiliary equipment compartments, nuclear reactor containment vessels, and crisscrossing pipes and bearings...
Everything is so close and yet so familiar.
"I remembered... when I was a child, my grandfather always forced me to memorize a super-large design drawing. The design drawing alone weighed dozens of kilograms. The main functional structure of the ship in it seems to be exactly the same as here!" Sava ran down the corridor bridge excitedly.
There is transparent blue water in the nuclear reactor, so blue that it looks like a pool of jelly. It is the light wave effect formed by the fast-moving charged particles when Cherenkov radiation passes through the water.
At a glance, there are actually 10 such nuclear reaction pools.
You should know that ship levels are divided into small, medium, large, inter-spherical, cross-system, and finally the star mother class.
However, the Starmother-class ships currently in service of the New Imperial Marshal only have 8 reactors.
What is the concept? A nuclear reactor can output 10,000 horsepower and has a thermal efficiency of 26%, which is enough for a medium-sized city. Ten nuclear reactors can at least cover the electricity consumption of a small country on ancient Earth.
These exposed-pipe beasts would have driven a ship that was absolutely unprecedented in its heyday.
Bai Ling went down to the ground, his shoes touching the special anti-static and fire-proof rubber floor, but his mind was still confused.
This confusion expanded infinitely when he saw the maintenance log hanging on the wall, until his head began to buzz.
The dusty floating screen shone with golden red light and read:
[Suzaku has been sailing safely for over 18,261 days. Captain & First Mate: Admiral Schroland, Marshal of Savoy I]
Damn crash...
The shit was taken to the shipyard and dismantled.
It was obviously picked up by a mermaid and used to grow flowers!
The facial features of Bai Ling were out of control, his eyelids were twitching wildly, and the corners of his mouth kept trying to curl up. Sava's symptoms were more serious than his. He stood there blankly, saying "OMG" like a telegraph machine for three minutes.
That’s the Suzaku!
A steel monster from the last century, the only god-demon-class mothership that can travel through a black hole without any damage, a perfect work that could only be created with the strength of the entire empire in that glorious era of traveling through the galaxy.
It is unrepeatable and unique.
The number of medals of honor affixed to the cabin of the Suzaku alone is more than that of an admiral. If the empire had five tiger generals back then, then this giant ship made of steel and iron was undoubtedly the well-deserved sixth general.
Bai Ling recalled that all the strange things that happened before had answers at this moment.
No wonder, no wonder! He asked why this palace was so terribly large, why it had everything, even an abandoned operating room, why its wires were so tattered that one had to go to the black market to find replacement wires, why its interior was so old, showing the style of the last century everywhere, and why the mermaid had the money but didn't redecorate it...
There is also the greenhouse that was once pitch black. The ground was not waterproofed, but flowers, plants and trees were stubbornly planted there without any fear that the roots of the plants would break through the floor.
I see.
Yso Paraiso has been protecting this country's extremely precious and final heritage in its own way.
It is great that this national treasure was not sold off by the tyrant and turned into scrap metal.
This was truly the second best news he had heard since his rebirth. The first is to find Mr. D.
"Tsk tsk, but it's been left for such a long time and no one has been maintaining it. If the reactor were to be fully operational, the cables upstairs would probably be burned." Sava put his hands on his hips and looked deep into the reaction pool.
Bai Ling raised his arms and chin up: "No, an expert has already repaired it."
Sava turned his head and asked: "Which expert?"
Bai Ling said proudly: "Me."
"You're pretending to be very successful, you stinky bird!"
With Sava's humanoid design drawings, the two quickly divided the work and cooperated with each other to conduct an intensive and detailed inspection of this huge energy cabin.
Fortunately, it is well preserved. Apart from being a little dusty, its other functions are still as good as ever.
Sava started the optical computer on the table and wanted to check the data, but was unexpectedly blocked by the permission password.
He entered his grandfather's birthday, Admiral Schloerland's birthday, the year both men joined the army, and even tried their wedding dates, but it still showed that the password was wrong.
"Try 2362-7-14."
Without warning, a voice appeared above them.
Bai Ling looked up subconsciously. They saw the little robot lying on its metal belly on the railing, pointing the speaker towards them.
Only then did he realize that it was Yu Chen who was talking to the little robot.
Sava tapped the keyboard heavily. "2362-7-14, Loading... Passed! Absolutely amazing."
I did a quick search online and found out that this string of numbers was the test flight date of the Suzaku.
A gloomy voice echoed in the cabin: "I have approved the control authority in the background. You can add two administrator identities. Bai Ling, you can arrange it yourself."
Sava turned his head, Bai Ling nodded at him and admitted: "He is my guardian."
Bai Ling put his hands in his coat pockets, raised his neck, and shouted to the little robot with a smile: "Are you really going to give this to me? Are you sure it's not the painkillers that made it confused?"
"I'm sure." The other party's voice was interesting and elegant.
"Moreover, from today on, it will no longer be the military symbol of the old empire - the 'Suzaku'. It will become your vehicle, named the 'Eye of Horus'."
Horus, the patron god of the Egyptian pharaohs and the symbol of royal power.
It has the head of a peregrine falcon and the body of a human, and is a deity representing royalty and the sky.
Yu Chen’s meaning is self-evident—to become the eyes of the blind emperor, to represent the supreme power, and to conquer the sky.
Bai Ling was stunned for a while, then suddenly stood at attention and saluted the camera with a strict standard military salute:
"I will definitely live up to your mission."
Sava moved closer to Bai Ling and lowered his voice and said, "How can I put it? The way you, a freshman, explain things is really like that person in history. You both like to observe people through cameras."
Bai Ling asked: "The One?"
"Yes, you know."
Bai Ling understood tacitly and smiled back at Sava. Sava was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and started to yell:
"Fuck! So you slept with this emperor!"
"how?"
"Sleep well, keep going. You have to go back and make him two fried eggs."
Bai Ling: “…” He knew that a chicken couldn’t spit out ivory.
Before leaving, the two entered their fingerprint and iris information into the control system and assigned their positions tacitly.
Wipe clean the screen, and the maintenance log is updated:
[The Eye of Horus has been sailing safely for more than 18,261 days. Captain & First Mate: Captain Bai Ling, Lieutenant Savoy II]
