Novel Full Chapter 1096: Foodie +1
When the JF-17 Royal Guard Fleet departed from the Black Great Wall base.
The Dark Legion fleet, which was still attacking the Black Wall base, did not interfere with them, as if the eight hundred interstellar warships of the Dragon Guard fleet did not exist at all.
"Commander, we just did a count."
The Black Wall base currently has an estimated seven million interstellar warships, not including those undergoing major repairs in industrial bases or being maintained in starports.
If this part is included, the estimated number is around ten million interstellar warships.
The dark legion fleets outside the Black Wall defenses, though their composition is unknown, still exhibit energy fluctuations similar to those of interstellar warships.
"It's estimated to be around three million interstellar warships," a young succubus beside her reported nervously.
This is the secretary of the Pluto, and also one of Lilith's apprentices.
He's relatively young, although I've met Zhao Chen a few times.
But this was the first time he had gone on a mission 'alone' with the commander.
After all, there were other succubi who had come before.
When the little succubus secretary reported these data, A-Yin was also present.
Zhao Chen made no attempt to avoid danger.
Three million ships?
"How many of them are T6?" Zhao Chen asked.
“There are about five ships that are suspected to be T6 interstellar warships,” the little succubus said.
Zhao Chen glanced at the person next to him who was still studying the passion fruit drink in the cup, taking a sip every now and then.
"Were the Dark Legion fleets that attacked before all of this size?" Zhao Chen asked.
Ah Yin looked up at Zhao Chen and said, "Under normal circumstances, the number of ships in a single attack by the Dark Legion fleet is around ten million, including at least twenty T6 starships."
This time, there are only three million interstellar warships, making it the smallest number ever recorded.
I wonder if it's because it was only two months since the last attack.
After saying that, Ah Yin looked at the drink in her hand and took a sip.
She seemed to have something in her mouth, unable to swallow or spit it out, and even stuck out her tongue to look at it.
The tongue was some kind of soft tissue, and it was red.
There are several seeds on it.
"These are passion fruit seeds, and they are edible."
"If you don't like it, you can throw it up." Zhao Chen shook the empty lemon tea in his hand and threw the cup with a small snowman-shaped packaging into the trash robot next to him.
Ah Yin obediently chewed a few times and swallowed.
"By the way, can you mechanical lifeforms eat too?" Zhao Chen suddenly asked.
"able.
We have specialized digestive organs that can digest the vast majority of food.
"However, digesting this food requires energy, and we won't gain anything from it, so we won't do something so futile," Ah Yin replied.
"Do you have a sense of taste?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
"have.
We can taste the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors.
According to our data, you carbon-based life forms can obtain certain emotional value by tasting food through this so-called sense of taste.
The ability to hear wondrous things.
But we mechanical life forms don't have that.
"For us, it's just a flavor," Ah Yin said calmly.
Zhao Chen looked at Ah Yin with sympathy.
Life without delicious food is like being 'worse than dead'.
Zhao Chen looked at the navigation star chart.
At this moment, there was no trace of the Black Wall base on the radar, but a fluctuation could still be felt.
That is the 'beacon torch'.
Through the function of the 'beacon torch', Zhao Chen's fleet can always locate its own direction and prevent itself from deviating from its course.
After all, everything around was pitch black, with no light and no reference points.
Sailing in this pitch-black environment, it felt as if time and space had stopped.
one day......
Two days...
Three days...
Ten days...
Fifteen days...
Unbeknownst to them, Zhao Chen's Dragon Guard fleet had been sailing using conventional engines for half a month.
Because in this process, it is necessary to continuously search for that coordinate position.
Therefore, starships cannot enter warp drive mode, otherwise they might accidentally overshoot the mark.
However, these uniformly T5 starships also travel at high speeds using conventional engines.
This week, let's put it in the original universe.
It has already traversed countless galaxies.
But the view outside the porthole remained unchanged.
Zhao Chen put down his food and looked at the pitch-black landscape outside the porthole on one side of the private room. Apart from the light from the engine particles of a few interstellar warships on the flanks, everything was pitch black.
It was exactly the same scene as a week ago.
It might even lead one to wonder if the interstellar warships ever actually sailed!
Why didn't it move?
Zhao Chen turned his head and looked at Ah Yin, who was eating food across from him.
"Didn't you say that food is a futile consumption for you?"
"So you've been running around the Starship Restaurant with me for the past two weeks?" Zhao Chen looked at Ah Yin across from him with a puzzled expression.
As Ah Yin finished chewing, she slowly said, "Because I have developed a great curiosity about you carbon-based life forms, I want to study you more carefully."
Food plays an important role in your lives and culture.
Therefore, I also want to taste your food myself.
As he spoke, he continued to eat, his head down.
Zhao Chen looked at Ah Yin with suspicion.
If Anne had said this, he would have definitely suspected that she was lying with great conviction.
But what I see before me is a mechanical life form.
"You said before that the Gaia Gate usually opens once a month."
Our voyage is scheduled to last for a month, regardless of whether we find the Zerg coordinates or not.
We all have to return.
We used conventional navigation when we went there.
Thirty days.
"Returning will only require warp drive; we can get back to the Black Wall base in a day," Zhao Chen said.
"With thirty days, we should be able to find the coordinates of the spiritual star system transmitted to the master."
At your fleet's speed, a distance covered in thirty days is already quite far.
"The ability to transmit messages through the mind cannot be used over long distances," Ah Yin said while eating.
"I hope so." Zhao Chen looked out the porthole again.
To be honest, this trip...
He was conflicted; he didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong.
After all, they were searching for the Zerg...
Ten more days passed during the voyage.
There is less than a week left until the 30-day deadline.
Just as the JF-17 Royal Guard Fleet was sailing in the darkness.
They finally reaped the rewards!
"Reporting to the commander, an unidentified group of organisms has been spotted ahead!"
But the life signs are weak...
It looks...it looks like a Zerg mothership!
