Chapter 19
Outer universe?!
Chen Xi's eyes widened uncontrollably. During this time, he had learned about the universe that was discovered by the machine race after the extinction of mankind through the Star Network. He also knew that there were many intelligent life forms there. Now, when he heard Jin Yi ask him if he wanted to go to the outer universe to take a look, he was also a little excited. After all, the outer universe, intelligent life, isn't that aliens!
Chen Xi replied almost without thinking, "I want to go."
However, after answering the question in one go, Chen Xi remembered the flying cars and aircraft that had been specially built for him in the base, which filled an entire parking lot. He hadn't finished test-flying them yet, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to leave.
Jin Yi noticed the strangeness in Chen Xi's expression and asked her why. She couldn't help but chuckle, "That's easy. Just bring all your flying cars and aircraft."
Chen Xi was momentarily stunned by Jin Yi's words, but after his initial surprise, he realized that this method seemed... indeed feasible.
And so, Chen Xi, unknowingly influenced by Jin Yi's extravagance, found that everything was not a problem. Soon after, he and Jin Yi boarded the starship that had been specially built for him.
This starship, specially designed for him, was also the first time Chen Xi had seen it today. The reason for this was that he had been too busy since arriving at the base. He was busy exploring his huge steel nest dwelling, busy test-flying various powerful and cool flying cars and aircraft, busy experiencing the various devices that the orange-eyed machine race had restored from historical data to serve humanity, and on top of that, he had his precious Xianxian. He was simply too busy to see this starship that was specially built for him.
Although he hadn't had time before, Chen Xi was still amazed when he actually stepped into the starship that was specially built for him.
As we all know, starships serve two main purposes in space: transportation and warfare. Regardless of which of these two aspects they serve, they are for the benefit of the group. Therefore, the requirements for the internal structure of starships are extremely high, striving to achieve the most rational space planning, the highest utilization rate, and no waste of space.
Under this design premise, the interior style of the entire machine race's starship is extremely simple. Apart from the storage, military equipment, and energy areas, the living areas for the machine race consist of neat and uniform private rooms, in addition to some necessary public spaces. In order to maximize space utilization, each machine race's private room is not large. This is why, even though the largest living room was found for Chen Xi on the starship where he woke up, it did not appear very luxurious. However, the starship specially built for him took a completely opposite design path.
First, this starship does not need to fight, so it must be heavily guarded at the very center. Therefore, although the hull uses the strongest known protective materials, it does not have too many weapon systems installed, which greatly saves space.
Secondly, this starship is not intended to serve a group; it only needs to serve one person, not thousands of machine races. Therefore, the thousands of neatly arranged private rooms resembling a military camp are unnecessary. All the space saved can be used to transform the interior of the starship into the most luxurious palace.
The machine race values simplicity and hates anything unnecessary that wastes time. They are not enthusiastic about entertainment or obsessed with pleasure. They are even too lazy to talk when communicating with their own kind, and instead connect to the StarNet to exchange data and complete the communication in a second.
But their lack of enthusiasm for this doesn't mean they're not good at it. In fact, every member of the machine race is an all-round master and a super artist.
They had simply been too lazy to use these skills they possessed before, because there was no need for them. But now, the necessity had arisen. In this starship specially built for Chenxi, they poured all their passion into transforming it into a perfect work of art.
Standing inside the starship, Chen Xi could hardly believe his eyes. At that moment, he even wondered if he was still in a starship created by futuristic technology, or if he had actually arrived in a palace.
The sheer grandeur and magnificence of the palace, the exquisite details that could be called works of art, and the unparalleled luxury—Chen Xi was certain that this was the most magnificent palace he had ever seen.
Chen Xi originally thought that his steel nest dwelling was already amazing enough, but he did not expect that the machine race could break the limits of his imagination time and time again.
Inside this starship, which resembled a luxurious palace, Chenxi excitedly explored for a long time.
This is a palace built specifically for Chenxi. Apart from the amazing palace halls, most of the space is Chenxi's private area, such as game rooms and gyms. There is also a special area for the robot race that serves Chenxi. Among them are orange-eyed robot races that tirelessly improve Chenxi's quality of life, as well as red-eyed robot races responsible for the security and operation of this starship and all other services.
Besides, Chenxi's bedroom was extremely luxurious. Not only was it incredibly large, but it also had a super big and luxurious bed. Chenxi couldn't help but roll around on it a few times. Then, lying on the bed and looking at the magnificent ceiling, he could only think of the saying, "From now on, the emperor will not hold court in the morning."
Corruption, utter corruption! And Chenxi knew that this wasn't the most corrupt part, because he knew that among the starships that went out with him this time, there were two whole ships loaded with his stuff. One ship was filled with all sorts of flying cars and aircraft that he hadn't even finished test-flying yet, enough to fill a parking lot. The other ship was filled with all sorts of large entertainment equipment that he really liked.
In short, who would dare to be so extravagant if they didn't have access to a solar mine at home?
Chen Xi, who had been lying in bed for a while, heard a few soft meows. He sat up and saw a god-like figure carrying a small white ball of fur walk in. Chen Xi smiled and reached out his hand, and soon the little white ball of fur was in his hands. He held the fluffy kitten and said in a very good mood, "You like it here too, right, Xianxian?"
After playing with Xianxian for a while, Chenxi looked up, wanting to speak to the figure that had been standing quietly by the bed. However, he seemed to suddenly remember something, glanced around with some confusion, and then said, "Where's Jin Yi? Um, I mean, where's the other you?"
Upon hearing Chen Xi's question, the beautiful figure standing by the bed remained calm and said indifferently, "The outer universe is not as safe as the inner universe. To take you to the outer universe, I need my main body to be there to ensure your safety. As for the spare body, I left it at the base to handle daily affairs in place of the main body."
Jin Yi's explanation sounded reasonable and seemed to make perfect sense.
But for some reason, Chenxi felt that he seemed to be doing it on purpose.
Seeing the accusatory look in Chen Xi's eyes, the god-like figure by the bed couldn't help but lean closer, gently lifting Chen Xi's chin with one hand. The brilliant golden eyes met those black eyes, and the figure breathed out warm breath, "What, you have me, isn't that enough?"
