Chapter 90
The transition from the initial awkwardness and unfamiliarity of the Discovery in the meteorite group to the current ease and comfort took only ten minutes.
"I'm really curious about how Mr. Tang trained such a great driver." A teacher watching the live broadcast said with emotion: "He's as good as the military drivers."
"It may be related to talent." Another teacher said softly, "I can't believe that such a good seedling was delayed in those vase schools for so many years..."
In the game, when Tang Bai finally left the meteorite group after half an hour of driving, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu En glanced at Xie Ruheng and asked, "Let's play cards to celebrate?"
Xie Ruheng looked at Lu En's dejected expression. He didn't expect that this NPC would take the initiative to invite him. When he was telling Lu En's love story, he gained a little favorability from Lu En. He gained another point in this mission. If he refuses, will his favorability be deducted?
"I'm not very good at playing cards." Xie Ruheng hesitated for a moment and walked towards Lu En.
"I'll teach you." Lu En led Xie Ruheng into the lounge. As soon as he entered the lounge, he skillfully took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he sat on the floor, took out a deck of cards and shuffled them slowly.
Xie Ruheng listened to Lu En's vague explanation of the rules of playing cards. After he and Lu En played a round, Xie Ruheng suddenly heard a system prompt: "You have learned a new skill to play cards, points +1."
Xie Ruheng: “???” Is this okay?
Xie Ruheng opened the points ranking list and found that he won the first place with 10 points. He got 5 points from killing insects, 2 points from the mission of crossing the meteorites, and the other 3 points from strange things like cooking, telling stories and playing cards.
Tang Bai was also looking at the points list. He found that he and Gu Tunan were tied for second place, both with 5 points.
Tang Bai gained three points in this mission. In addition to the points, he also gained a point of favor from the captain. So far, Tang Bai has accumulated five points of favor from the captain. At this time, the old captain's attitude towards Tang Bai has changed completely.
"Good, good, you did a great job!" The captain praised Tang Bai endlessly. Not only that, he also began to take the initiative to teach Tang Bai skills.
"Do you know how we find energy stars?" asked the captain.
Tang Bai: “!” Is this the benefit you can get by improving NPC’s favor?
Tang Bai shook his head, his face full of thirst for knowledge.
"Whenever we find a new star or a planet that may have energy, we will release multiple quantum balls to stimulate the quantum entanglement between plasma or particles in a specific orbit, forming a plasma wall, temporarily preventing the energy exchange of the planet and forming an isolated system for a short time. In this way, we can calculate the entropy value or particles of the planet and infer the energy status and life span of the planet."
"Let me give you a virtual demonstration."
A small quantum ball appeared on the projection of the optical computer. Its surface was covered with specific metal pieces, and each metal piece could block different radiations of the quantum ball.
When the quantum ball is released, it separates from a sphere into many small spheres, each of which emits a very small special radiation.
These quantum balls are distributed in all directions of the planet. They emit fine rays of light, interweaving to create a dreamy beauty like a nebula.
"What you need to learn is how to build an isolated system in the most energy-efficient way..."
One is explaining patiently, the other is listening attentively. The picture is extremely harmonious.
[So that’s how it is. I’ve learned nothing.]
[Tang Bai seemed to really understand. I cried. Is this the difference between people? ]
[Kneel down to the boss]
After a series of teachings, Lao Kang said, "There is a star in front that meets the criteria. You can try it out."
It was a yellowish-brown planet, and it looked desolate and deserted.
Tang Bai pressed the launch button of the quantum ball, and four quantum balls floated above the spaceship. A faint light shone through the cracks in the metal blocks that wrapped the quantum balls.
The four quantum spheres flew towards the planet, and during the flight they separated into more small spheres, and the densely packed and neatly arranged metal blocks all scattered.
These small spheres wrap around the planet like elves, with hazy lights interweaving and interlacing. Looking ahead, you can see the vast starry sky with purple as the background, dotted with clear and transparent sapphire green, and tiny golden threads on the edges......
Tang Bai stared at the beautiful scenery without blinking. He seemed to be able to feel the planet breathing, like the silent sound of nature.
"You have learned a new skill, Energy Star Detection, points +1." The system prompt sounded, and at the same time, Tang Bai heard the captain's voice: "Sure enough... this is not the Energy Star we are looking for."
Tang Bai looked at the captain. The old alpha showed the same decadence as Luen at this moment. He was indifferent to the magnificent scenery in front of him because he had seen similar scenes too many times, from the initial expectation, loss to the numbness now.
They are burdened with the mission of finding an energy star, and live a boring life day after day on a spaceship with almost no entertainment facilities in order to save energy. It is almost inevitable that they will suffer from navigation depression.
The other side.
On the spaceship where Gu Tunan was, the captain looked down at the starry sky expressionlessly. His eyes were dead silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Sitting on the sofa in the lounge were the alphas who had just killed the Zerg.
“If Tang Bai processed the insect meat, he would definitely make it delicious.” Mo Zheng said with emotion.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I had the lunch box made by Tang Bai himself." Gu Tunan said casually.
Bai Li sneered, "What's so rare about this? Tang Bai often treats our class to snacks, but I don't even want to eat."
Mo Zheng glanced at Bai Li calmly, "Oh? Then next time Tang Bai sends snacks to everyone, I will tell him for you. You're welcome."
Bai Li's face suddenly darkened, which didn't scare Mo Zheng, but did scare an innocent teammate who was passing by.
Teammate A, who had no sense of presence, said weakly, "Well, should we ask Qin Jun not to bring the insect meat back to the spaceship? He smells like insects, it's really unpleasant, and the NPC seems to be unhappy about this."
Gu Tunan frowned. In the process of killing the insects several times, Qin Jun played a very good supporting role. The only unsatisfactory thing was that he had to bring back the corpses of the insects every time. The number kept increasing, and the NPCs did not eat the insect meat made from it.
It’s no wonder that the NPC doesn’t want to eat it. Gu Tunan once tasted the insect meat made by Qin Jun.
To be honest, Gu Tunan has never eaten anything so disgusting in his life.
"I'll go talk to him." Gu Tunan stood up. Before he even walked into the kitchen, he smelled that nauseating odor.
Sticky, disgusting, like the smell of rotten urine spraying onto your face.
Gu Tunan walked very quietly. Qin Jun, who was cutting insect meat, held the knife in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket, and did not notice Gu Tunan's arrival.
strangeness.
Why do we have to put our hands in our pockets when cooking?
Gu Tunan didn't say anything. He slowly walked behind Qin Jun, like a crouching cheetah. In an instant, he stretched out his hand like lightning and suddenly grabbed Qin Jun's hand in his pocket.
"Ah!" Qin Jun's eyes widened in horror. When he saw his hand being forcefully pulled out of his pocket by Gu Tunan, his mind went blank.
That thing...
Gu Tunan stared at Qin Jun's palm, which was covered with sticky green mucus. It was obviously the body fluid of insects, and it stuck to Qin Jun's hand like thick phlegm. Qin Jun's pockets were empty except for traces of green liquid.
That thing drilled into...
Gu Tunan frowned. Was he really just putting his hands in his pockets? It was not surprising that Qin Jun was stained with such liquid when handling insect meat.
"Although this is a game, you should also pay attention to personal hygiene. You should deal with the accumulated insect meat as soon as possible and don't do it again."
Yes, yes, it's just a game!
Qin Jun's eyes suddenly lit up. He tried his best to ignore the discomfort of having a foreign object in his body and threw the chopped insect meat into the trash bag under Gu Tunan's gaze.
He put too much insect meat in the kitchen, filling up an entire freezer. Qin Jun would have felt disgusted by the sight of the insect meat, but now he suddenly felt...
The insect meat looks delicious.
Gu Tunan walked out of the kitchen. He was about to discuss the issue of mecha transformation with Mo Zheng. At this moment, he heard a hurried alarm: "Warning! There is a star collapsing ahead!"
“New Mission: Escape from the Danger Zone!”
"Mission brief: The dangers encountered by the Ideal in the universe include not only wandering Zerg, but also unpredictable and dangerous environments! The self-collapse of a star will produce a black hole, and the matter surrounding the black hole will release gamma-ray gas streams and high-energy particle streams! Please help the captain to overcome this crisis! If the mission is successful, everyone will receive corresponding points according to their contribution!"
"Note: A single gamma-ray burst may radiate large amounts of energy within a few minutes, radiation that may cause biological mutations."
After hearing about the new mission, the three alphas in the lounge hurried out to meet with Gu Tunan.
"What's going on? Why isn't there any NPC here to tell us what to do?"
"It seems that ever since we forced the captain to find the Zerg, the NPC has refused to communicate with us."
"If they don't come to us, then we can take the initiative to find the NPC."
The group of people marched into the cockpit in a mighty manner. The captain was wearing a helmet and his eyes were calm, but a hint of despair and madness flashed across them.
The deputy stood in front of the captain and said coldly: "Don't disturb the captain from driving the spaceship. If the captain makes a mistake, the energy reserves on our spaceship will not be able to withstand this gamma-ray burst!"
Mo Zheng smiled and said, "Deputy, we have no ill intentions. Is there any way we can help you in this crisis?"
"Go guard the shield on the spaceship." The deputy said coldly, "There are six positions. The five of you and I will guard them together. We must not let the gamma rays break through the shield!"
Finally, everyone who received the mission hurriedly left the cab.
"Where's Qin Jun? Why doesn't he come out to guard?!"
"Isn't he still in the kitchen?!"
"I'll go find him."
Gu Tunan rushed to the kitchen, wanting to pull Qin Jun out, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he forgot what he was going to say for a moment -
Qin Jun squatted on the ground, holding a garbage bag full of insect meat in one hand and stuffing unprocessed insect meat into his mouth with the other hand. Although the green insect meat gave off a strong and strange smell, Qin Jun seemed to be eating something delicious.
Qin Jun: The taste of insect meat, crunchy
