Chapter 2270 () Captain Ed’s Ginseng Fruit
After reporting the situation, the cunning future person Priya Lavisk was quickly escorted by a battleship sent by the Planetary Alliance Command. Also taken away were the other party's people from the future.
, advanced personal items such as portable short-distance teleportation devices and stealth devices that can be carried around.
As for how the woman and the other party's belongings will be dealt with by the Planetary Alliance Command, that is beyond the control of the Orville, Ed and others.
But no matter what, the Orville's near-missing hijacking finally came to an end, allowing everyone on board to set off again and once again embark on the journey of patrolling the borders of the 'Covenant' and drawing star maps.
Simply put, the Orville can happily roam around again.
But soon!
The Orville had not been able to escape for two days when it received another distress signal from a planet called Castella IV on the way. It said that it had been attacked by a Quill battleship and asked for assistance?
So, of course, the Orville didn't care about anything else, but hurried to the scene after sending a notice to the Covenant headquarters, and finally encountered it in time on the orbit of the planet Castella IV.
Quail destroyers attacking the planet.
This time, unexpectedly, without Anne's assistance, Captain Ed and helmsman Gordon relied on their tacit cooperation and superb command skills to use the strong gravitational interference of the planet and the refraction of the air when they broke through the planet's atmosphere to let Kui
The Quail warship missed the perfect opportunity to shoot accurately, and fired all the plasma torpedoes brazenly, risking death with the enemy, and in one fell swoop, the Quail destroyer, which was underestimating the enemy, was blown into a pile of objects surrounding the planet in low-Earth orbit.
Flying rags.
By the time the cruiser supported by the Planetary Alliance arrived, the Orville had already collected the spoils (an intact Quill landing craft) and completed rescue and comfort work for the colonies on the planet's surface, allowing the cruiser to
The captain said it was incredible.
Think about it, the Orville is just a medium-sized exploration ship. It was developed more for routine patrols, border exploration and star mapping. In addition to being compact, it has advantages in speed and flexibility.
, in other aspects, both the main gun power and the shield strength are far inferior to those of the main cruisers and destroyers currently in service in the Planetary Alliance.
But the result...
It was such a medium-sized exploration ship, but within a short period of one month, it completed the glorious record of sinking three Quill destroyers on its own, putting countless destroyer and cruiser captains in the Planetary Alliance to shame.
Extremely ashamed of myself.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, even with this month's record and other achievements, even if there is no other outstanding performance, Captain Ed will definitely have an extremely bright future, with promotions and promotions.
It's definitely not a big problem.
but……
I don’t know why, but after meeting and talking with a high-ranking captain of the Covenant warship that came for support, Captain Ed became worried, and even took the initiative the next day to talk to a high-ranking captain in a place where no outsiders were present.
Little Annie was found eating in the officers' lounge.
"?!"
(*～*;)
"What, what's wrong, Uncle Ed?"
(~)
Looking at a certain idiot captain who suddenly broke into the lounge in front of her, Anne quickly stopped what she was doing and hid some delicious fruit she secretly took out behind her back, as if she was afraid that the other party would make some unreasonable suggestions.
Begging requirements are average.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Great, you are here!"
Ed didn't pay attention to Annie's little movements, but he was relieved when he saw that Annie was indeed there.
"Is such that!"
"Annie!"
"We have a plan, are you interested in joining us?"
Then, after hesitating for a while, Ed finally gritted his teeth and spoke with some trepidation about the important thing they were going to do:
It turns out that the Planetary Alliance has been frequently attacked by the Quills this month, whether it is ships or colonial planets. Even their Orville, a medium-sized exploration ship that is not doing its job properly, has been attacked three times this month.
The Quail people had achieved the glorious result of sinking three enemy ships, not to mention the suffering of the remaining Covenant cruisers and destroyers whose main duties were fighting and guarding.
then!
Yesterday, I negotiated with the commander of the cruiser and after careful consideration by some senior officials, in view of the recent excellent performance, a medium-sized patrol and mapping ship alone has accomplished what the strongest and largest warships of the Covenant have not been able to accomplish.
With its various missions and achievements, the Orville has become the only option favored and favored by the commanders of the 'Covenant' headquarters.
Yesterday, the officer personally gave the Orville a top-secret mission issued by the Planetary Alliance Command: He required the Orville and Captain Ed to find a way to obtain a weapon from the Quail warship in the near future.
The thing whose real name is "Ankana Code".
And they also stated that no matter what method Ed uses, they only want results and the sooner the better?
The intention of the Planetary Alliance Command is to use the "Ankana Code" to understand the Quill people, their way of thinking, basic social structure, and ways to resonate with the other party or prevent the other party from being disgusted.
Communicate and negotiate to avoid unnecessary war that may break out at any time between the two parties.
After all, once a war breaks out, in this interstellar era, when the technological gap between the two sides is not very large, the war is likely to last for tens or even hundreds of years. By then, no matter who wins or loses, there will be heavy casualties.
As well as causing the Star Alliance to lose time and space for further development, that is obviously not what the senior leaders of the Star Alliance want to see.
Therefore, after thinking about it all night, before finalizing the plan and preparing to take action, Ed thought of the little girl in front of him, Annie, who seemed to be omnipotent and could successfully help them save the day and even make meritorious deeds.
That's right, Ed just wants to invite Annie to join them in their plan to sneak into one of the Quills' active warships and wait for an opportunity to seize the thing called "Ankana Code".
"..."
"Probably the plan is what I said above!"
"how?"
"Annie, are you interested?"
After a long time, after explaining his purpose, Ed rubbed his hands and looked at Anne expectantly, somewhat impatient to get the affirmative answer he wanted from Anne's mouth.
"..."
(O ^~^ O)
"Uncle Ed, are you sure you want to carry out such a dangerous mission?"
(ˇˇ)
Anne didn't answer in a hurry, she just looked at the stupid guy in front of her who was eager to try with a strange look on her face, and rarely looked at him up and down.
That kind of task is certainly nothing to Anne. As long as she wants, she can get anything, and the success rate must be 100%.
She may not even need to take risks and infiltrate in disguise. She just needs to find an enemy ship and teleport there, defeating them all in an instant. That is nothing to her.
but……
For the idiot Uncle Ed in front of him, he naively thought that with a simple disguise and poor language skills, he could sneak into the Quill battleship and wait for an opportunity to steal the code and then want to
Escape safely, that kind of thing is a bit fanciful.
So, Annie couldn't help but wonder, is it that Uncle Ed's recent performance in front of her has been too eye-catching, and his achievements have been so great that some bad guys or competitors want to kill him?
"Of course!"
"etc!"
"What's that look in your eyes? Is there anything wrong with this plan?"
First, he confirmed what he was going to do. Then, Ed, who didn't know what Annie was thinking and looked at him with that weird look, looked down at his clothes and pants in surprise, and found that there was nothing abnormal.
Then he looked at Annie strangely and asked.
Although that plan was indeed a bit risky, and his first mate Kelly firmly disagreed, Ed still decided to do it, and no one could persuade him!
"No!"
(lll￢▽￢)
Anne didn't want to argue, so she slowly turned her head away.
"It's better if you don't have it!"
"Say it!"
"what do you think?"
"Want to go play together?"
Ed continued to ask expectantly.
Sneaking into a Quill warship and carrying out a mission to steal intelligence was undoubtedly very dangerous. He himself knew that, although their plan was analyzed by Isaac and the portable camouflage made by the other party using future technology and Calivian technology.
The device was able to successfully block optical and detection scans, but Ed still felt a little uneasy and felt that the risk factor was too high, and he eagerly hoped that Annie could join them.
Originally, he wanted to find Alola, but due to various reasons, he finally felt that the little guy in front of him would be more suitable and safer.
After all, Anne had defeated hundreds of Quill landing troops one to a hundred, and she also knew the long-distance teleportation technology. If the other party went together, their safety would definitely be 100%
of protection.
Furthermore, if they are discovered by the enemy, they can even cooperate with the opponent to directly rob them by force. And since Annie once defeated a hundred Quills by herself, it will definitely not be a big problem if she wants to protect them and rob them of something.
He is very confident about this matter.
"don't want!"
o(^｀)o
“People don’t really want to go!”
(′～`●)
The next second, without even thinking about it, Anne flatly rejected something that was boring and had no suspense for herself.
"ah?"
"No, don't want it?"
"this……"
Hearing that Annie refused so outrageously, Ed was not only surprised, but also quite frustrated.
"All right!"
"That……"
"Then I'll go with Gordon!"
After staring at Anne for a long time, Ed found that Anne still had no intention of changing her mind. After struggling for a long time, Ed could only sigh and nodded in frustration, indicating that he would use another backup plan.
"Uncle Gordon?"
(゜-゜)
"That……"
(ω)
"If you and Uncle Gordon go on a mission together, will the helmsman's position become vacant?"
|˙˙)
Annie was startled, and then asked quickly.
"this……"
"certainly!"
"But John should also take on Gordon's duties, right?"
"Isaac can do it too."
Ed didn't know why Annie asked that, or what she was thinking, so he just thought about it before answering absentmindedly.
"That's great!"
*.(ˊ▽ˋ*)*.
"Uncle Ed!"
()
"You can go on the road with peace of mind. When the time comes, people will take Uncle Gordon's place, and then they will drive the Orville to support you at any critical moment!"
ヾ(^ω^)ノ
Annie suddenly became excited and raised her hands in cheers.
That's right, in Annie's opinion, sneaking into the Quill warships and stealing things is not as satisfying as driving a warship to fight the Quills, especially when driving a warship is much weaker than the Quills.
What about a lot of exploration ships?
"Is that so?"
"also!"
"You and Kelly will figure it out then!"
"I have never doubted your manipulation skills..."
Thinking of the fact that Anne piloted the Orville for the first time without a shield and managed to make the Quail warship abandon the ship, surrender and escape, Ed certainly had nothing to say.
It's a pity that they didn't have the ability to pursue them that time, so most of the Quail people escaped on shuttle boats, leaving only an empty-shell warship, and there didn't seem to be the "Ankana Code" on it. It must have been
Take it away, otherwise they won't have to take risks this time.
"??"
At this time, when the matter was finished and Ed was about to leave in frustration, he suddenly noticed what Annie was chewing on.
"strangeness!"
"Annie, what is this thing you are eating in your hand? Why does it smell so good?"
Then, his eyes straightened instantly.
And while asking, his eyes were fixed on the half-eaten fruit in Anne's hand and he sniffed the alluring fragrance that made him feel comfortable all over, as if every pore was opening and jumping for joy.
.
"!!"
!(;o)o
"This belongs to someone else!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
Seeing the greedy look in the other person's eyes, Annie hid the fruit behind her without even thinking about it. Then while emphasizing a certain fact, the eyes she looked at the other person were full of vigilance and vigilance.
look.
"Oh My God!"
"I know it's yours, and I won't steal it from you!"
"I just want to know..."
"That fruit, what's its name?"
Ed was a little dumbfounded and said that he really just wanted to know the name.
As long as he knows the name, he can go to the equipment that can automatically synthesize various food, drinks and supplies that are everywhere on the ship and get one to eat.
"It's called ginseng fruit!"
ヽ(￣▽￣)
"Say it first!"
()
"It's good if I smell it for you, so I won't give it to you to eat!"
(=゜ω゜)ノ
While answering, Anne reiterated again vigilantly, without taking out the hand hidden behind her back.
You must know that this fruit is a unique ginseng fruit that she got from the Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain where she met the old Taoist Master Zhenyuan. It is also the original one, not the inferior one copied by the God of Lao Shizi or the Reality Stone.
Damn it, Anne herself doesn’t have many left alive, so she is very rare to eat one less!
That thing blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and matures after another three thousand years. It only takes about ten thousand years to bear thirty fruits. If an ordinary person smells it, he can live for three hundred and sixty years and eat one.
She only lived forty-seven thousand years, so Anne would definitely not give it to the other party and bring out an immortal and stupid Uncle Ed in this world.
Even if she doesn't have a few original and purely ecological ginseng fruits, even if there are a lot of flat peaches, she doesn't want people in this world to have easy access to them.
"Ginseng fruit?"
Ed seemed to have never eaten that kind of thing, and then he couldn't help but smell it vigorously, as if he wanted to remember the taste.
"I won't tell you anymore!"
(oω`o)
"Uncle Ed!"
(ノ～｀)ノ
"Hope you guys have fun!"
ヾ(ｏω)ノ
"I'm going to play first, bye!"

==()
After saying that, not wanting the other party to say anything more, Annie gnawed the fruit in her hand and ran outside like the wind.
"..."
Seeing Annie running out, Ed shook his head, and then sniffed the wonderful smell in the air. Then, after thinking about it, he couldn't help but walked decisively to the advanced synthesizer.
Qian said:
"Give me a ginseng fruit too!"
Soon, as Ed finished speaking, an oval-shaped ginseng fruit with purple markings on its yellow skin suddenly appeared on the dial of the synthetic instrument.
"??"
"strangeness!"
"Why does it smell different?"
"Are you sure, this is ginseng fruit?!"
Picking it up and sniffing it, then turning his head and smelling the alluring fragrance lingering in the room, Ed couldn't help but ask the machine a little weirdly.
'Captain Ed.'
‘This is the ginseng fruit, confirmed.’
The brain of the Orville immediately answered Captain Ed's question, and then thoughtfully listed the relevant properties and details of the ginseng fruit:
——————
Ginseng fruit, scientific name: Solanum muricatum Aiton.
It is a herbaceous plant of the Solanaceae family. The plant height can reach about 1.5 meters. The leaves are alternate and have single or three-lobed or 3-lobed leaves. The corolla is white or lavender. The root system is very developed. The fruit is pear-shaped or oval. During the flowering period
Spring, fruits in autumn.
The ginseng fruit has an elegant fragrance, the pulp is fresh and juicy, and the flavor is unique. The fruit is rich in vitamin C and other trace elements, and has high health care value.
——————
"this……"
"It's indeed ginseng fruit."
"It seems right..."
"do not care!"
"Try it!"
He carefully looked at the instructions listed on the Orville, and then looked at the slippery 'ginseng fruit' in his hand. He always felt that it was a little different from the half-eaten ginseng fruit in Annie's hand. Ed thought for a moment.
After thinking about it, in the end he still couldn't figure it out, so he hesitated and opened his mouth and bit it.
"Um……"
“Sweet, juicy and delicious!”
"Well……"
"There is also a special fragrance..."
"But……"
"Why do I always feel that something is different?"
As he ate, although he was still confused, Ed didn't dwell too much on it. He just ate and left the officer's lounge, shaking his head.
