Chapter 24 The vast starry sky(1/2)

The next morning, Long Xingyi put on his uniform, picked up his packed luggage, and walked out of the room with great energy. At this time, Yin Yuting happened to come to his door, followed by a large automatic suitcase.

"What era is it? Are you still carrying your own bag like a revolutionary veteran?" Yin Yuting looked at the big bag in Long Xingyi's hand and asked in surprise, "Also, where did you pick up this broken bag?"

"...Ah? I saw that there was a bag in the cabinet, so I took it out and used it. Is there such an automatic suitcase now?" Long Xingyi was stunned by the question.

Yin Yuting smiled and said, "Of course! Automatically following suitcases should have been in shape in your era, right?"

Long Xingyi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and suddenly asked: "Then... why did you ask me to carry my bag yesterday? Isn't it enough to make an automatic follower?"

"The things I bought have to be carried in packs to feel like 'returning with a full load'!" Yin Yuting said proudly. Long Xingyi couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I really treat me as a fool!"

Yin Yuting quickly changed the topic, "Hurry, go quickly! The spaceship plans to take off at 10 o'clock, and it's almost impossible to catch up. Don't be too slow to hold your bag honestly, be good!" After saying that, he ran away, followed by her automatic suitcase. Long Xingyi was really amused and crying.

The two arrived at the hangar of the moon base one after another, and the spacecraft was ready to go. Ming Chenhai and the other officers were chatting outside the spacecraft, and the staff were busy coming and going. Long Xingyi looked around and took a deep breath, not knowing what the upcoming journey would be like.

Ming Chenhai saw them walking towards him and raised his gray eyebrows gently, "Two officers are ready to go?"

Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting walked up and saluted the commander-in-chief tacitly. Long Haoqian and others behind Ming Chenhai all silently cast envious eyes.

"It's still a cliché." Ming Chenhai replied with a greeting and said, "Be careful of safety, keep the mission in mind, complete the task, and return successfully."

"Yes, yes!" A person's speech suddenly came from a distance. Everyone looked at it and it turned out to be General Neville from the United States. He walked over with a relaxed pace and smiled. "You must return smoothly, but don't make any trouble, and embarrass the people on earth!"

Speaking such words in front of Ming Chenhai, Ming Chenhai's face was obviously a little unhappy, "Don't worry Jackson, I know my soldiers, there will be no problem!"

"I hope!" General Neville stared at Long Xingyi for a long time, said meaningfully, then saluted, turned around and walked away.

"Sarcastic!" Ming Chenhai glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly. Then he turned his head and said to Long Xingyi like a father: "You are going to the Interstellar Alliance for the first time. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Long Haoqian. He has been to Guangtaxing with me before. If he can't solve the problem, you can contact me at any time. Pay attention to safety!"

Long Xingyi looked at the elderly commander and suddenly felt an unknown touch. He couldn't help but step forward and hug Ming Chenhai. Ming Chenhai patted his shoulder and said strongly: "Let's go! Go early and come back soon!"

Just as the few people were about to board the spacecraft, a shout suddenly came from a distance behind them.

"Wait a moment!"

The few people turned around and it turned out that Lei Ling ran towards them from afar.

Long Xingyi thought that Lei Ling must have come to see him off, so he turned around and walked off the spaceship, preparing to greet him, but saw Lei Ling's look panicked.

"What's wrong? You're rash." Ming Chenhai also asked curiously when he saw that his student's expression was wrong.

Lei Ling looked around and said to Ming Chenhai: "Commander-in-Chief, I'll report to you later." Then he immediately said to Long Xingyi, "I have something to give to you." He pulled Long Xingyi's arm without saying a word and pulled him into the cabin of the spaceship.

"What's wrong? It's so mysterious..." As soon as he entered the cabin, Long Xingyi couldn't help but ask.

Lei Ling was silent for a few seconds, as if he was constantly thinking about how to speak, and finally said, "I will give you two things and I will make good use of them." As he said that, he took out something that looked like a tablet from his backpack behind him.

"This is a unique encrypted radio station in my country. It does not rely on internationally universal carrier communications and exists independently. If an emergency occurs, you can use it to contact the commander-in-chief, or contact our country's intelligence department on the Light Tower Star. I have set your biometric code, and only your genetic code can be used."

Long Xingyi looked at the frivolous encrypted radio station, then looked at Lei Ling's panicked expression, "Do you know something?"

Lei Ling shook his head, "I don't know, I'm not sure. You can take it first! Be prepared for any trouble. And..." As he said that, he took out a metal box the size of a matchbox from his backpack, "This is a small engineering robot that can repair most mechanical damage, including the spacecraft. Do you know?"

Looking at Lei Ling staring at his eyes, Long Xingyi nodded hesitantly. Damn, he knew something was going to happen and he wanted to send me to death with mercy? He wanted to give up, but looking at Lei Ling's eyes, he knew that Lei Ling had difficulties. Perhaps at present, the information he had was only suspicion. If the invitation from the Interstellar Alliance was to be cancelled or delayed based on a single person's suspicion, it may have serious consequences.

Lei Ling patted Long Xingyi on the shoulder, said simply "Return safely" and stepped out of the cabin. After a while, Yin Yuting and others entered the spacecraft in confusion. The radio broadcast of the spacecraft about to take off came from outside. Ming Chenhai hurriedly saluted the spacecraft under the spacecraft, and then walked aside with Lei Ling to listen to what Lei Ling reported to him.

This is a huge interstellar spacecraft. At least compared to the small transport spacecraft they had traveled from the earth to the space station before, its size was huge enough. Long Xingyi looked out through the porthole and saw Ming Chenhai, Lei Ling and others on the ground quickly becoming smaller and gone far away. The last scene Long Xingyi saw seemed to be Ming Chenhai being furious and roaring at Lei Ling. His heart became more and more nervous, not knowing what Lei Ling was hiding.

"The spacecraft is about to turn on the warp engine, please prepare." The spacecraft broadcast prompted.

"Why, are you reluctant to leave?" Yin Yuting saw Long Xingyi dazed through the porthole, looking at the eyes behind the spaceship, and walked up to say.

"No, it's okay..." Long Xingyi didn't want to share the suspicion in his heart with Yin Yuting for the time being, so he had to say perfunctorily.

Yin Yuting thought Long Xingyi was really homesick, so she comforted him and said, "This journey was very fast. We drove at warp speed and passed through a few wormholes. We could reach the Morning Galaxy in a few days. When we got there, there must be a lot of new things, and you won't miss homesick by then."

"Hehe." Long Xingyi turned around and smiled awkwardly.

The next few days were indeed boring. In addition to the busy crew, the five-person team who were on duty on the mission to Guangtaxing gathered in Long Xingyi's room to play cards and chat. The few people quickly became familiar with each other and gradually talked about everything.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look like a star of our era?" I was bored this day, and Long Xingyi finally raised the questions that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Yin Yuting looked at him, and Long Xingyi felt that it was a bit rude to ask such a question, so she couldn't help but lower her eyes. Unexpectedly, Yin Yuting suddenly smiled slightly, "Do you look like Yang Mi?"

"Ah, yes, yes!" Long Xingyi couldn't help but raise his head and waited for Yin Yuting to continue talking curiously.

"That's right, in our era, due to genetic modification projects, many parents of wealthy families would tact on their children's appearance genes, wanting to make their children more handsome, more beautiful, or simply look like a star. My mother thought that changing me to be more than 100 years ago would be more low-key, but she didn't expect..." Yin Yuting glanced at Long Xingyi and continued: "Someone really came over from more than 100 years ago and saw through this."

After hearing this, Long Xingyi laughed a few times and said jokingly: "Your era is so good! If only I could change it to Xue Zhiqian, Daniel Wu or something, that would be great."

Yin Yuting gently raised her down-down eyebrows and said meaningfully: "As a person, you should live your own life and don't live like others. You are so handsome! Why should you envy others?"

Before he finished speaking, the spacecraft suddenly vibrated violently and then suddenly slowed down. The sudden slowdown made both Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting unstable center of gravity and fell towards the front of the spacecraft. Yin Yuting almost threw herself into Long Xingyi's arms, and the atmosphere was once very awkward.

"What's going on?" Long Xingyi quickly changed the subject in order to break the embarrassment.

Yin Yuting also quickly got up and sorted out her messy hair, "No, I don't know... Go and have a look!"

When they walked out of the room, red light flashed in the corridor, and alarms were ringing everywhere. The crew members came and went in the corridor, running in a panic. Luo Bing, Pei Xiling and Long Haoqian also ran out of the room to observe the situation.

Yin Yuting grabbed a cabin staff member who ran past her and asked what was going on.

"The warp engine is damaged and the main power is lost!" The staff left a word and hurriedly ran to the end of the corridor.

"Let's go and go to the bridge to take a look." Long Haoqian suggested.

Several people walked along the corridor, avoided the hasty crowd, and came to the bridge to observe the situation.

The captain was leading the crew to detect a fault at the bridge. When he saw Long Xingyi and others coming, he stepped forward and saluted Long Xingyi.

Long Xingyi replied, "Captain, what's going on?"

"Oh, it's strange that the warp engine was suddenly damaged, and foreign objects were inside the turbine and could not be moved. The maintenance robot equipped on the spacecraft was transferred away by the superior yesterday. I had never notified me, and none of them were left behind." The captain was so busy that he complained: "The temperature in the engine room is very high now, and ordinary people can't get in. Even wearing protective clothing, there is a great danger."

"Where are we now? Contact the headquarters, or the Chenhui Galaxy, and ask for assistance!" Pei Xiling gave advice.

"It's not that simple!" the captain continued: "The second deputy inspected the communication equipment on the ship just now. We have not contacted the headquarters much these days, and the communication system was overloaded and burned out. Now we have completely lost contact with the outside world."

Long Xingyi turned around and looked at Yin Yuting, and the two thought of the 24K sentence at the same time: "Life is in the future."

Luo Bing asked timidly at this time, "Then we... are we going to be trapped here?" He looked very desperate, as if he would cry at any time.

Pei Xiling stretched out his hand, hugged Luo Bing's shoulder and said, "It's okay, there will be a solution."

This action scared Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting. In just a few days, both of them could already hold their arms around each other. Long Xingyi widened his eyes and lipped towards Pei Xiling: It is developing rapidly!

Pei Xiling secretly smiled at Long Xingyi, raised his chin playfully, squeezed his eyes again, and then turned his head to continue comforting Luo Bing.

Long Xingyi turned around and looked at the vast starry sky outside the window. He could not see the edge at first sight, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Luckily I have you."

Yin Yuting and Long Haoqian both came up curiously and asked, "What?"

Long Xingyi took out his pocket, took out the small metal box that Lei Ling gave him from his pocket, turned around and said to the captain, "Captain, this is a small engineering robot. A friend of mine gave it to me. Can you try to repair the warp engine with him?"

The captain seemed to have grabbed the life-saving straw, his eyes lit up and nodded vigorously, "Well! Try it with it!" As he said that, he handed the robot to the captain and brought it to the main engine room at the bottom of the cabin. The rest of the people were still on the bridge to watch the scene through the internal communication of the spacecraft.

Through the video, Long Xingyi saw a small thing crawling out of the box and crawling in through a small opening next to the electronic door of the main engine room. The chief engineer observed the internal situation through the glass door and reported to the captain and others.

"The robot found a foreign object, in the middle of the turbine blade. It seemed to be an internal part of the engine... It seemed that it was not installed firmly and fell down by itself." The chief engineer speculated while describing.

It was definitely not an accident, it was a human fault! Long Xingyi thought to himself, and continue to listen to the report from the Chief Engineer.

"The parts are too big and the robot is too small. You need to use a laser to cut the foreign objects piece by piece and then take them out one by one. The robot is working, and it seems that there is no big problem." The chief engineer's tone was gradually filled with hope.

I'm afraid it's not that simple! Long Xingyi frowned and looked at the screen without saying a word.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, after more than two hours, the engine cheered long: "Okay! All the foreign objects have been taken out!"

Seeing this scene, everyone had just started to be happy, but the first mate walked up with a dark face, "Captain, things are not very good."

The captain was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The spacecraft system seems to be infected with viruses. Our fuel was automatically discharged just now. Now the spacecraft only has a very small amount of fuel, which is not enough to turn on the warp engine." The first mate reported in a panic.

"What's the matter!" The captain punched the operating table hard, cursing with a red face: "What have you checked before setting sail!"

The first mate looked very aggrieved: "These problems are not reflected in the maintenance log! We are not prepared at all."

Long Hao stepped forward and looked at the coordinate meter, his face turned pale, "We have to find a way to transfer it quickly. This place belongs to the public star domain and is not under the jurisdiction of the Interstellar Alliance. There are often cosmic pirates."

"How to transfer?" Pei Xiling also panicked, "The communication failed and the fuel was gone. We can't go down to push the cart, right?"

Everyone was furious and was about to start a quarrel. Long Xingyi quickly interrupted the two of them and asked the captain: "Captain, is your highest rank on this spacecraft? Please make a decision!"

The captain smiled bitterly, "No, Comrade Long Xingyi, although this spaceship belongs to me, in terms of military rank, you have one more honorary title than me, and you are the biggest one. Otherwise, would you think of a solution?"

In an instant, all the eyes on the bridge looked at Long Xingyi in unison, and even he was stunned for a moment. The most important thing to solve the current problem first is communication, fuel, virus... Long Xingyi thought, and suddenly, a word flashed through his mind.

Independent carrier!

"Everyone, wait for me!" Long Xingyi asked Yin Yuting, the captain and others to wait here. He quickly walked out of the cab, returned to his room, found the safe in the room, and groped in it.

Everyone was waiting curiously. Not long after, Long Xingyi saw a small tablet holding a hand and appearing on the bridge again.

"What is this?" Long Haogan asked curiously.

"The domestically produced encrypted radio station was given to me by Lei Ling before leaving." Long Xingyi said excitedly and pressed the power supply.

"Please enter the genetic code." The encrypted radio prompted, and a fingerprint graphic appeared in the lower right corner of the screen. Long Xingyi hesitated for a moment and pressed his thumb up.

"The gene password is successfully identified, user: Long Xingyi, obtain the usage permission." The encrypted radio station immediately opened the operation panel.

"You are even more capable in communication, so you should do it!" Long Xingyi said, and handed the encrypted radio station to Long Hao beside him.
