Chapter 5 Active Response (Catching Bugs)
Deep Blue, the last planet inhabited by humans in the vast east of the Central Empire, the Golden Crusade will stay here for a short time to replenish supplies. After that, the deputy ship Athena will be stationed at a place 100,000 light-years away from Deep Blue, and the Xingtian Ship will continue. Lead Ares to the east.
One hundred thousand light-years further east is the area where Ares is stationed.
As the heart of the Golden Cross, Xing Tianjian will also head east, guarding the country's gates for the empire in a deserted area.
This is the responsibility of the military.
Every bit of the empire cannot be missing.
In Xingtianjian for a month, Ryan has been familiar with the logistics procurement staff. Please help him to bring back a few packages from Dark Blue-the package sent from his home in E69, and the three purchased at the same time. Bring along with the cabin.
There are a lot of things, and Ryan specifically borrowed a handling robot to help.
"Just to bring you something here, what are you polite."
Ryan opened the package and took out the strawberries in the fresh-keeping box and distributed them to everyone. "It's not polite, but let everyone taste the strawberries grown in my house. They taste good."
Two palm-sized fresh-keeping boxes contain about 10 ping-pong-sized strawberries with powder in white. They are not a big deal when they are placed in the city. You can buy them at any supermarket. But in the space voyage, such a little strawberry is a rare thing, and no one is willing to refuse.
There is a planting greenhouse on the Xingtian Ship, but it is used to grow vegetables and supplement vitamins for everyone. It will not be used to grow fruits and occupy land.
Several helping people accepted it embarrassedly, and the headed one patted his chest and promised, "If you have anything to help, Ryan, even if you ask us, although we don't have much abilities, it's okay to do a little favor."
"A few brothers are polite, logistics procurement is a very important department." Ryan was telling the truth. He had been in the kitchen for ten years before. He saw many faces of purchasing and bullying, knowing that they can't hate offending them. of.
These words were very helpful to several people, and they also gave Ryan an extra pack of dark blue specialty star sand.
The star sand is the unique sand grain of dark blue. On the seaside at night, the star sand will flash with a blue light, which is very beautiful, and it is very suitable to decorate the bonsai.
"I think you bought a planting cabin because you want to grow things in the dormitory. It's nice to have a layer of star sand on it," said the person who gave Len star sand.
Ryan thanked him, bid farewell to these people, and directed the handling robot to the dormitory.
After five days of training, there was a day and a half of rest. Today was just a rest. After Ryan took back the package and the planting cabin, he was ready to plant it in the dormitory.
In addition to the strawberry, the package sent from home contains strawberry seedlings and several kinds of mixed soil and the black soil that Ryan bought home when he traveled to the home planet Earth. The treasure collection has not been used, this time for Auston Planting strawberries, he took them out.
The planting cabin is similar to a huge glass jar, with a planting base on the bottom and a special glass cover on the top, which can adjust the temperature, humidity, etc. according to the characteristics of the planted plants, and can also simulate heavy fog, thunder and lightning, and other climates. As the second generation of the farm, the second generation of the small rich, the top version bought by Ryan, the planting cabin can also be floated and used as a viewing floating island.
This rich second generation is not used to raise bonsai, he used to grow strawberries.
The strawberries sent by their parents are the newest offspring that they have cultivated. They wrote on the note to him. The strawberries cannot be stored for a long time. Even if they are stored in the fresh-keeping box, they will rot and melt for more than three days, keeping the freshness stable. Sex is very poor.
The shortcomings are over, the next is the advantages.
The newly cultivated strawberry cream has a silky texture, like cream cheese. It is used as a decoration for desserts. It is very good. It has been sought after by many bakery shops. The family makes a lot of money by relying on this.
The joy was passed to Ryan through the lines.
Ryan curled his mouth happily. Mom and Dad must have opened the ladder for celebration at home, and would use a little bear to represent him.
Sure enough, Ryan found a photo from the package. In the photo, the family was smiling at the camera. The two little bears in the middle were next to each other, with pointed colorful caps on their heads.
"My precious son is married, and his partner is also going to the party." The mother wrote such a sentence behind the photo.
Ryan traced the two bears between them, dreaming about how he and Alston would gossiping together...
It's not bad actually, isn't it.
Photos and notes were inserted into the book, and Ryan rolled up his sleeves and started to work.
He made a second adjustment to the prepared soil, adding the black soil he brought from the earth’s home planet in a certain proportion. As the son of the farmer, he watched his parents conduct planting research since he was a child, and he didn’t need to go to school. Learn to master this skill.
He cultivated the first-generation improved seedlings of the cream strawberry at home.
Ryan is very talented in this area.
His parents hope that he can study biology and work directly for the farm after graduation, and this farm will be his in the future. But Ryan is more yearning for mecha, hoping to explore the secrets of mecha, and even more hope to repair it and design it with his own hands.
I always feel that this goal will not be too far away.
Twenty centimeters of soil was piled in the planting cabin. After watering, the strawberries were transplanted. The strawberries sent were already covered with green-green fruits, and they were not too far away from maturity.
"Maybe you can find suitable wild strawberry-like plants on some remote planets, and crossbreeding may be able to cultivate better plants, and the resulting strawberries will taste better." Ryan closed the planting cabin and entered some on the panel. Content, to ensure that the environment inside is the best growth environment for strawberries. He also sprinkled some of the stars on the surface of the soil, turned off the light and admired it, the shining of the stars was like the night sky.
After the three planting cabins were planted, Ryan packed up and went to take a shower, sweating all over.
"Grow up quickly, so Alston can eat it." He discovered a little secret of Alston. He likes to eat sweet fruits, and seems unable to resist the temptation of strawberries.
···
In the captain's room at the foremost level of Xingtian Ship, where Alston lived, medical officer Blair Winster was checking Alston every seven days.
After taking blood from the fingertips, the test stick was dripped, but for two or three seconds, it was a pity that it was a lonely green line again.
"Auston, your current physical condition is not suitable for conception. You were injured in a despicable sneak attack on Alpha. The wound has not healed. Even if you have a child, his health will not be too good." Blair threw it away. With the test stick, his white hands were inserted into the pockets of the lab coat, and he sat down in front of Alston, "What's more, if the mother is injured, instinctively will reject the birth of the next generation. No matter how hard you work, you won't be able to get pregnant. ."
Allston withdrew his hand, and the tiny wound on it had disappeared.
"Well, I just..."
"Just what?" Blair, who was an old classmate and an old subordinate, looked at Orston playfully with his eyes behind the lenses.
Auston pursed his lips and did not speak. He has received rigorous training since he was a child. He never thought that he would be greedy for the warmth of a person, but he really felt the feeling of being cared for and cherished from Ryan, as if he was not a general who has experienced the battlefield, but an ordinary person. . "Isn't it bad?"
"What's wrong, you idiot, you are already married. Now you are cultivating relationships. It's okay to get along more." Blair sneaked out the memory card from his pocket. "You just don't know how to express yourself. I’m so forbearing, I should let myself go and enjoy love. I have prepared some information films for you, so you can study hard."
"You are often injured, and you have learned to be patient with all kinds of injuries." Blair said earnestly: "This is not conducive to the harmony of married life, listen to me, don't bear it."
Blair, who has dissected hundreds of human bodies and thousands of Zergs, licked his thin lips, smiled coldly and cruelly, and said the deadliest words, "You must remember that you are fucking him, not killing him."
Allston didn't know what to say for a moment.
Blair turned back his love for muscles and nerves, and looked at him as a harmless medical officer, only interested in the wound. "Pick up the shirt and I will look at your wound, damn thing. Son, there is a weapon infected with the venom of the Zerg mother worm. I can heal the scars on the surface, but the damage to the texture by the venom continues." But so far, the Empire has not studied a way to metabolize the venom. The injured can only endure the pain of being bitten all the time.
Allston opened the hem of his shirt calmly, revealing a bruise with the palm of his hand inside. The piece of meat had become numb from the pain. Even if Brian cut open the skin without injecting anesthetic, he didn't feel anything.
"You really can endure it. Eighty percent of people who suffer this injury can't stand it and go mad. According to the data I have, you are the first and only one who has endured the pain until now." And the rest. Twenty percent died on the spot.
Peeling off the skin to reveal the sauce-colored rotten muscles inside, Brian slowly cut off the necrotic tissue. In the process, Auston's complexion became paler, and the fine sweat covered his forehead and back. It was not that he would not hurt, but Enough to bear.
During the entire debridement process, there was no utterance.
"Okay." Blair sighed. "All the necrotic muscles are removed, and the wounds are superficially healed, but you must know that this cures the symptoms but not the root cause."
But other than that, there is no other way except death.
Blair's heart sank.
Alston's weakness was only a few breaths, and he quickly recovered his calmness and composure. After packing his clothes, he stood up and said in a calm voice, "I won't die."
"I will find a way to cure you." Blair smiled pale.
"Yeah." Allston nodded, walked steadily to the door, pressed the door open, and looked at Blair.
"Are you driving me out?"
"No, I want to leave too."
Blair raised his eyebrows. "It seems that someone is blessed today. When will I have to go and see what your little wolfdog looks like, it makes you feel nostalgic."
Allston lowered his head and chuckled. He said, "He is a very gentle person." He is not reckless or mad, and he carefully pampers his feelings even when he is most emotional.
"He is gentle, and you have to respond." Blair didn't want to see his friend's indifference so as to make him feel cold.
Allston thought for a while, nodded and said, "I...I will." He would learn to respond.
···
After taking a shower, Ryan went to the restaurant to eat food and went to the dormitory to eat. In essence, he is still very homely. He likes to stay in his own space, grow plants, read books, play games, and time alone is not for him. alone. The food in the restaurant is as good as always, but after a bite or two, Ryan always feels that it is not right. He still wants to get some home-cooked food. The big pot dishes are popular tastes, and there is no hometown food.
I took out the eggs and fresh shrimps from the refrigerator. This package of shrimps has been three days old, and it will lose the new tender and sweet taste if you put it again.
He broke up the eggs, added water and put them into a round deep dish. The shrimps with the shrimp thread removed were put on top one after another with the tail up, sprinkled with green green onion on the surface.
What he is going to make is shrimp and egg custard, which is light and delicious when it is topped with clear oil.
When the egg custard came out, the door of the dormitory opened, and Aston, who was wearing black slacks and a linen shirt on his upper body, walked in. He entered his iris and he could come in without knocking on the door.
"I didn't come at the right time." Alston said while looking at Ryan, who was wearing an apron and holding an egg custard in heat-resistant gloves.
Ryan's eyes lit up, "The time is just right, let's have dinner together, do you like rice?"
Allston smiled, "Yes."
The smile reflected in Ryan's heart, causing his breathing to be two minutes short, "I have steamed custard, red wine stew, fried fish belly and cold asparagus. Whatever you want, I will make it." He There are some dishes in the refrigerator, all bought from the kitchen, and I can’t wait to show all the skills to cook for Alston right away. This is the first meal they have eaten together, which is very meaningful.
Allston said, "That's enough." He glanced at the table, "The portion is also very big, I'm not picky."
He saw the planting cabin, which took up most of the area of the entire dormitory.
In order to open the planting cabin, Ryan pushed all the furniture to the corners. Except that the bed looked very comfortable, the others looked very aggrieved.
"I want to grow some fresh strawberries for you to eat." Ryan said with a little bit of shyness.
Allston didn't think it was for himself, and was stunned.
"Let’s eat, it will be cold after a long time, and the custard will not taste so good when it is cold." Ryan brought chopsticks to Orston, and said annoyedly: "My family has Chinese descent, and the food is mostly Chinese. I always use it. Chopsticks, I'll get you a spoon."
"No, I will use it."
Alston took the chopsticks and moved flexibly, "It's easy to use."
Ryan looked at the person sitting next to him and smiled like a fool, "I can cook a lot of dishes, a lot of Chinese dishes, I will cook for you. I mean, if I have a chance in the future."
"OK."
Actually got an affirmative answer. Ryan suffocated his breath and raised his eyebrows happily. "Well, um, I'll make dumplings for you next time!"
Ryan wouldn't let Alston do the work. After eating, he cleaned up neatly and put the dishes in the dishwasher. He clenched his fists and waved, and the relationship between the two people improved again.
Coming out of the simple kitchen, Ryan saw that Alston was reading his book. It was one of the must-read items for the mecha restoration exam. It was the theoretical part. Alston knew that he was self-study. When I approached, Alston saw the photo he had put in his hand. "There is a party in my house. The pair of bears are me and you. This is my father and mother. This is my uncle's family. They work for my parents. This It's Uncle Potter, my father's good brother. This is Cousin Connor, an internet writer."
Auston's eyes fell on the pair of bear dolls that were close together, and smiles appeared unconsciously in his eyes. He envied the family atmosphere of Ryan's family, warm, cheerful, relaxed and happy.
Holding Ryan's hand involuntarily, Alston said, "When you return to the voyage, you can take me home."
"Okay..." Ryan didn't react at first, and was ecstatic when he did. "Okay, my parents will definitely like you."
He couldn't help but wanted to kiss the people around him.
Thinking so, he did the same.
This is their most intimate act, the first time apart from bed.
Even in bed, haven't kissed intimately.
Ryan pressed Auston against the wall. The two people were about the same height. This action was not awkward. Ryan kissed Auston as if holding a rare treasure, his lips reached Auston's, and he asked nervously, "Can you?"
Alston lowered his eyes, and to remove the panic in his eyes, he nodded lightly.
Ryan was greatly encouraged and kissed him, his lips were pressed together, and he kissed him...
Then... Then, Ryan didn't know how to do it, Auston's lips were so soft, his head was blank, and he couldn't remember what was said in the online tutorial.
Aston suddenly remembered his friend's request and asked him to take the initiative. Hesitating, opened his lips slightly and touched it with the tip of his tongue.
boom
Ryan felt that something exploded in his head.
