Isana smiled cheerfully, and suddenly thought of something, patted my arm: "That's right, Your Majesty, have you heard of the ghost ship?"
"Ghost ship?" I was stunned by the problem of Yumeizi's escape, and then instantly thought of her race, nodding her head, "Oh, you mean the kind of drifting on the sea, untidy and unmanned The legend of the old antique ship you are driving? There are so many human legends about ghost ships, and your mermaids also care about this? Can you make those ships difficult? "
"No, it's not the kind of ghost ship," Isana had a habit of flinging her tail when she was anxious, so I heard her flapping on the floor, "Although I liked going to the shipwreck when I was a kid Treasure hunter ... I have nothing to do with this. I am talking about the legend that Macro World is very popular recently. It is said that an emperor ship that has been withdrawn from the battlefield has left the team, and the generals and soldiers on the spacecraft have disappeared. Under the control of the host, he floated back to the Empire, because he couldn't find the port, he floated in the universe and became a ghost ship. Occasionally, people who traveled between the stars saw the huge spaceship. They The ghost ship seems to be dead, there is only a little light on the whole body, the engine is dim as if it is about to go out, the ship is full of tattered scars, and if you are close enough, you can even see the inside from the cracked openings A black hole in the corridor. But no one can board the ship, because no one dares to approach it, and the ghost ship always disappears suddenly, as if the host of the spacecraft is still trying to find a military port. Many people say The ship visited, especially those of the old business team crew delivering supplies for the army of minions, say they touched surfaces with ghost ship, but most people did not evidence, it should be bragging. "
Isana tells the story of the ghost ship with interest, and at first I increased my attention. I thought this was important information, but I heard it slowly reacted in the end: this is a space version of the Sailor's Adventures, just like the old sailors in the sailing era spraying wine and bragging in port bars. . Those superstitious old sailors used to like to use sea monsters and ghost ships to flaunt their adventures, but now the boring crews who travel between the stars have more advanced talks: the star ghost ship, and even the ghost ship of the void.
This story is creatively good: they directly use the emperor ship as the background of the story, and this gimmick is definitely pulling the wind. In the eyes of the majority of civilians in the macro world and the dependents, the emperor ship is almost a legend, especially the large spaceship. Most people have only seen those behemoths on brochures and screens. They look forward to those powerful empire machines. Like a 16th-century inland boy looking forward to a sailing battleship with 55-meter masts and 18-pound artillery, but the giant ship will not cruise in the village, and 10% of people have no chance to visit the Empire Station to visit the Eternal Class What it looks like, even a lot of people can't go to space for a lifetime, so wait for the old crew members who have gone to space or even shuttled the world to return to the surface. The ghost ship story made up of alcohol and adrenaline in the tavern became popular.
Isana immediately found out that I was not very interested in this story. I heard a pattering sound from under her chair again: this is the fish girl's tail flicking again, she is not happy watching me : "Ghost ships are not necessarily fake, right? Although there must be bragging, there have been legends about ghost ships in dozens of worlds!"
"Emperor Trek? Then the navigation host can be turned on but can't lead the way? Finally, it's still floating around in the Empire?" I smirked, "Not to mention that no outpost has detected the signal of this active ship? Isn't it To destroy your fairy tale, it is really not possible-there are several sets of spare navigation on our spacecraft, and there is a 'catastrophic damage discrimination agreement' between each other. If all navigation equipment fails, The spacecraft immediately jumps into a stable universe and locks the engine. This is to prevent the spacecraft from flying to the enemy-occupied area without navigation, leading to the leakage of information. In addition, all the officers and soldiers on the spacecraft are missing. I am even more Don't believe it. The emperor team has a clear operational procedure regarding the 'evacuation of the abandoned ship'. Unless all soldiers die in the spacecraft before the evacuation, the military will not let a ship be 'lost' like this, or it will be immediately recovered. Either the ship was destroyed by other friendly forces before it was captured, or the captain blew himself up before the evacuation. Anyway, we wo n’t let a ship just fly out of sight. In addition—fly Identification signal transmitter on the black box with the same strong, really ghost ship, then the local imperial outpost already found. "
After listening to my explanation, Isana sullenly bowed her head in dismay: "Why don't your technicians save the face of dreams?"
Me: "..." This involves the victory or defeat of the war of national interest. Can you save face?
"But someone really submitted the video of the encounter with the ghost ship to your military ministry," Isana thought for a moment, and then suddenly got excited. "Not only the video, but also the log of the ship, it is said that those who encountered the ghost ship also One was an officer of the servant army. He encountered that thing when he drove out in a private spacecraft. That was the most rumored thing-wouldn't it always be fake? "
"Huh?" I got serious now. "Are these things still?"
Isana nodded hard, and the two white-bearded old men across the table nodded, and it seems that the two of them have heard of these "stories" that have spread widely in the world.
I was thinking: there was a video, a diary log, and even a sighting record of a servant officer. If a "ghost ship story" was detailed to this extent, it might not be as simple as folk rumors.
Could it be the same as the "ghost ship" that encountered the exile fleet in the macro world channel at the beginning, but also an aircraft that drifted into the void in the era of the old empire? But this time it's not an exile race, but an out of control old Empire battleship?
"I'll go back and check what's going on and see if there is any official sighting report from the military department." I nodded with Isana and turned my head to look outside: it's not too late now, the street lights have already begun, so I stood up Come, "Then I will withdraw first, you can do it yourself."
Isana waved her hand: "I don't want to give up because I have a lot of inconvenience."
I:"……"
Before I left, I suddenly saw the two white-bearded grandpas again, and remembered something very important: "You two should not stay out too late, the military academy is closed at night. What do the two say now? Also students ... "
"It's okay, I teleported in." Grandpa Whitebeard No.1 said, and Whitebeard No.2 nodded, "I'm going in through the wall."
As an institution where students ’hard power is the ultimate goal, Emperor Academy has a rule: whether it is over the wall or skipping classes, cheating or leaving early, as long as you can do it by your own means and not be found by the teacher, then it will not Being punished and confessing afterwards can even add points. So I smiled and nodded with the two high-energy grandfathers: "Good luck to you."
As soon as I left the house, I sent a message to the Security Section of the Military Academy: "Tonight, the college will be closed, and the fence will be powered up. By the way, open the space confinement to the stratosphere ..."
I feel refreshed when I hang up the communication. I have a faint experience of how my own teaching director was when I was in secondary school. It turned out to be really good ...
It ’s a little bit late to go home today, but it ’s just like every time, as long as I did n’t say I ’d eat outside. Everyone in the family waits for dinner before they return home. There was a large circle of people around the large, signature dining table. The battle was like a small banquet. Pandora and Huesca were the only vacant seats. It seems that the sisters struggled with others to win this feng shui. Baodi, the first thing I did was to pinch the sisters on their faces to show their intimacy, and then pinch the two wild jingle bells that were dozing on the plate in front of me and set them aside: Fifty Douding goddesses accompany the pace of eating, and a few smart little ones have fallen on the shoulders of her sister or uncle Kenther, waiting for others to feed them.
"You're back!" I heard discouraged blame from Pandora on my right hand side. But he couldn't see the person, and looked up to see a Gothic figure that was only a few tens of centimeters tall, sitting in a chair, holding a smaller knife and fork to protest because of his body shape. This little guy is really going to sit down and is almost surrounded by the backrest and armrest of the chair, so there is a large stack of books under her buttocks, which makes people worry about whether the little guy will fall. Of course Pandora and Huesca also have books ...
"Meet an acquaintance," I explained to the little girl. The moment I raised my chopsticks, I thought I was going back and forth this afternoon to pour a lot of water and snacks in the tea house, "Uh ..."
"What's wrong with the master? The food is not good?" An Weina's head popped out of the soup bowl in front of me. It seemed steaming, "Today I have a leek stuffing bun that my host likes."
I watched a ghost head float on the table, but I was accustomed to it, and smiled a little awkwardly: "No, I had some snacks before coming, not very hungry."
My talking Kung Fu Sandora has emptied the third bowl of rice porridge.
"Speaking ... about the ghost ship, Sandora, do you know?" I remembered what Isana had told me before, and I looked up to Sandora, who swallowed a bun whole and rolled her eyes. He asked me wryly, "Oh Ning still (ghost ship)?"
"It is said that an imperial ship of unknown origin appeared in the macro world," while I picked out the stuffing from the buns and fed them to Ding Dang in front of me and an unknown wild Ding Dang (otherwise they would not know the buns when they got the braces. There are stuffing), and slowly said, "The legend is very god, many interstellar voyagers have said that they met the ship. According to the description, it should be a large mothership, but it is not like the eternal class, and the spacecraft is seriously damaged. No active signals, no calls accepted, and the ability to sail across the world is retained. I thought this was something like a city talk, but when I heard that even the servants had records of officers who witnessed it, I wanted to ask Have you heard of it? "
"I've heard that there are people reporting to the military, and there is indeed a report from the servants." Sandora nodded, and the movement in my hand stopped immediately: "Is there a ghost ship ?!"
The two Douding goddesses saw that no one was feeding them, and ran off with two toothpicks to find food for themselves.
"It's hard to say whether it's true or not. The logbook and video files do have it, but the investigation team sent by Emperor and all monitoring sites did not capture direct evidence, so it is still pending," Sandora shook her head, "only I highly suspect that this is true. I have more detailed information here: The sighting report mentioned that the ghost ship is a special model that has not been recorded in the empire's active spaceship, but has obvious characteristics of the spirit. The scale of the eternal class is still large. It is an interstellar giant ship over 100 kilometers, but because the bow is damaged. It is not sure how big it is when it is in good condition. The spacecraft may be deeply modified on the eternal class scale. There are also It may be a time-integrated part of the structure, the first half of which is very similar to the charging section of the main galaxy. In addition, the surface power supply network of the ghost ship should have been paralyzed. He found that all its peripherals were not turned on, but before the support force called by the officer arrived, the ghost ship seemed to sense something and suddenly jumped out of the world. For the time ghost ship had been submitted in the spirit world you are, so you do not know what is normal - the fox, the vinegar to me. "
A big, fluffy tail rolled up a vinegar jug across half the table and reached in front of Sandora. On the way back, a bun was also taken away: Master Fox Fairy has more and more functions.
Sandora shared part of the report of the ghost ship, and I watched the sighting pictures taken in a hurry on my data terminal. Most of these pictures come from civilian sightings. Each picture is accompanied by a note, with witnesses ranging from workers on the cargo ship to tourists on the commercial cruiser. I even saw the picture from 920 under a picture. Of course, there are some pictures captured by the spacecraft's automatic observation device. Such effects will be clearer.
The angles of most of the pictures are not very good, and the image is distorted because of rushing closer to the lens, and another picture is full of oppression: a large silver-gray and dazzling armor belt takes up almost three-quarters of the picture— The witness who took this picture had a heart attack and was taken to the infirmary because the ghost ship was brushed out less than a hundred meters away from the spacecraft he was flying in ...
I put a lot of effort into putting together these piecemeal sightings from various angles in my mind. After tossing for a long time, I roughly speculated about the overall image of the ghost ship: a dilapidated imperial starship with a bow similar to the eternal class, and the rear half is a triple hull arranged in parallel. The main armor belt is silver gray. . The remaining quarter is painted in black, and the emperor's emblem can be seen in the middle of the spaceship, but the part with the emperor's private emblem seems to have been lost with the damage of the hull, so Sandora cannot. Judge who this ship once belonged to.
Then I turned the information to the end. Suddenly saw a large and clear tens of megapixel ghost ship, followed by a short video ...
I:"……"
Anyway, the existence of the ghost ship is really true. And it looks exactly like my guess: it's a Star Trek from the old Empire era. After all, the new empire never made such a ship, and it was clearly not a fallen apostle. The biggest problem now is that this ship does not release any signals, does not rule out the possibility that all the crew members are missing, and it is definitely impossible to establish contact with it by conventional means. And it's running around-it's no less difficult to find such a spaceship in countless universes than to find Ding-Dang on the prairie of Inner Mongolia, worrying.
I can only wait for more eyewitness reports to come out and summarize the appearance of the ghost ship. After reading these reports at hand, I think this ship seems to be a bit regular. After all, the universe is so large, but it is just like many other times. The spaceship passed by, this should not be purely coincidental.
I was put aside by the ghost ship for the time being. After dinner, my sister and Anwena were busy packing things, and Lin, who wanted to help, was ordered to watch around in accordance with the rules. A few other people except Pandora The master who will run away as soon as I finish eating, I don't bother to care about them, anyway, most of them are in the yard to hide and seek with the mini Medivh: they are passionate about this recently.
Qian Qian took a look at the information of the ghost ship for a long time, and soon lost interest in this thing. She tossed the data terminal aside, turned on the TV at will, clicked, changed the stage, and finally found a A somewhat interesting show: a foreign-translated documentary about the life of a fox.
The fox fairy, who was eating and drinking, was lying next to me and snoring next to me. The spirit immediately became energetic. He listened to the TV on the ears and watched the TV briefly. How do you say a fox is called? "
I thought to myself that this is really a very difficult question to answer. It seems that not many people have heard what a fox called. Of course, if you say "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng", it belongs to the scene What's going on in the fox barking?
On this issue ~ EbookFREE.me ~ completely expelled the messy things like the ghost ship in my head, I frowned for a long time, until a big golden tail wrapped around my neck playfully It suddenly opened up: Don't you have a fox next to you!
I can't blame my slow response. The main reason is that the adult Fox Fairy is a young girl in addition to her ears and tail. Even if she is lying on her side, I didn't connect her with shallow questions for a moment.
"Fox, how do you usually call it?" I patted Lord Fox Fairy's tail.
The demon fox girl looked at me in confusion, and hesitated before she said carefully: "Wow! ←← This way?"
I suffocated: "... I asked you how the fox called, but didn't ask how you called the human form!"
The second big tail slaps on my face, and the demon fox girl stretches lazily lazily: "Don't cry for more than a thousand years, forget it."
I:"……"
