After the peerless and cute Long Jiu conquered everyone with her beauty (?), several people in the control cabin ended the topic. Thinking that the water condensation gold had been obtained now, and it was quite smooth, several people's moods were mixed for a while. Much more relaxed.
At this time, the starship had already begun to leave Neptune. Long Jiu simply hummed a song and ran back to her rest cabin. After the starship completely separated from Neptune, she lay on the bed and made a video call with Xiao Tingyun.
This trip to Neptune was quite easy. In the video with Xiao Tingyun, Long Jiu spoke very highly of Neptune, which made Xiao Tingyun, who was busy chatting with her while working on documents at his desk, finally looked up. Looking over, his eyes were dark and deep, which made Long Jiu subconsciously lower his voice until he was completely silent.
Long Jiu felt a little scared when he saw him, and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tingyun put down the pen in his hand, sighed softly, and asked quietly: "Baby, is the third prince of the Deep Sea Tribe good-looking?"
Long Jiu hesitated for a moment, but nodded honestly. After all, Ya was indeed very good-looking. This was an indisputable fact.
Xiao Tingyun lightly touched the table with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you look better than me?"
Long Jiu immediately shook his head, assuming it was not necessary. Her brother's appearance was almost as good as his appearance. Although Ya was handsome and beautiful, he was still inferior to Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun smiled slowly when he saw this, but said in a deep tone: "Then why are you unable to do without the third prince in eight out of ten sentences?"
Long Jiu was stunned when she heard this. Looking at Xiao Tingyun's heavy eyes, she finally noticed that her brother seemed unhappy.
But Long Jiu also understood it very well. After all, if Xiao Tingyun praised other women for their good looks in eight out of ten sentences when chatting with her, she might be even more unhappy than Xiao Tingyun showed.
So Long Jiu blinked and said very sensibly: "I was wrong, but I really didn't mean it." As she said that, she saw Xiao Tingyun's eyebrows raised slightly. Long Jiu loved Xiao Tingyun's choice to death. He raised his eyebrows and immediately continued to explain: "Brother, don't be upset. I will keep talking about it, mainly because it is the first time I saw the Deep Sea Tribe, and I like this alien race very much. I feel that their kind of race They are all simple-minded silly roe deers, very cute."
Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows again and asked with a smile: "Does the baby like the Deep Sea people very much?"
Long Jiu nodded quickly, "I like it. When I see them, I think of the Sharks in the wilderness back then. Those Sharks were subordinates of our dragon clan back then. They were all extremely loyal and brave and good at fighting."
She likes the Deep Sea Tribe so much, firstly, because the Deep Sea Tribe people are simple and friendly, and secondly, there is a bit of empathy in them. After all, the Deep Sea Tribe people really miss the Sharman Tribe back then.
In fact, Xiao Tingyun is not really angry, he just doesn't like hearing other men mentioned too frequently from Long Jiu's mouth, even if he knows that Long Jiu just keeps mentioning her simply because she is happy, and she has nothing else. Meaning, but a possessive man will still be unhappy about it.
But Long Jiu explained to him so seriously that Xiao Tingyun's unhappiness due to possessiveness immediately disappeared, and his heart softened.
Looking at Xiao Tingyun's brows that softened again, Long Jiu asked tentatively: "Brother, are you not angry anymore?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't"
But before he could finish his apology, Long Jiu said angrily: "It's nothing. I can understand why you were unhappy just now."
"Oh?" Xiao Tingyun asked in surprise, "Don't you think I'm stingy, baby?"
Long Jiu said frankly: "I don't think so. You judge others by yourself. If you, brother, praise other women for their good looks in eight out of ten sentences when you are chatting with me, I will only compare you to others." Brother, you are even more angry."
Xiao Tingyun also loved Long Jiu's magnanimity to death. His dragon cub was very delicate and had a very bad temper. People who didn't understand her would always think that she was arrogant. Although she was indeed a little arrogant, only he knew best. , even if his dragon cub is arrogant, he still has his own bottom line in dealing with things.
She will not make trouble unreasonably because of her arrogance. She is delicate but also considerate of others. She is good at empathizing with others. She is obviously as proud as a little sun, but her light will not burn people, but will make them feel warm.
It was because of Long Jiu's magnanimity and transparency, coupled with her petty temper and squeamishness, that Xiao Tingyun fell in love with her deeply.
This love is like a bottle of aged wine, it will not become dull over time, but will become stronger and mellower as time goes by.
People all over the world say that when a person looks at another person and there are stars in his eyes, it means that this person must have feelings for him/her.
And when Xiao Tingyun looked at Long Jiu, his eyes were filled with stars and a sea of stars.
Even though Long Jiu was thick-skinned, she couldn't resist Xiao Tingyun's look. She wanted to pull the pillow aside to block his gaze, but she felt that this action would make her look very heroic and short-tempered, so she could only force it. He braced himself to resist, and then asked in a questioning tone: "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong just now?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled softly, with a gentle voice: "No, I just feel like you have been gone for a long time, and I miss you."
Long Jiu's face was tensed, but he was screaming in his heart. He couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't stand it anymore. Why did he smile so softly and be so good at flirting?
His Majesty the Emperor, who was flirtatious and flirtatious, asked gently and tenderly: "Don't you miss me, baby?"
"I miss you so much. I miss you so much." Long Jiu gave up her resistance and said resignedly: "I miss you so much. I think about you every day."
Long Jiu didn't say this in a perfunctory way. She really missed Xiao Tingyun. Take the small wardrobe in the rest cabin where she lives now for example. There was also a shirt of Xiao Tingyun hanging in it. When sleeping, she would take it out and wear it as pajamas.
It's like the kind of person who secretly wears her boyfriend's shirt to pretend that her boyfriend is around when her boyfriend is not around.
Her habit of sneaking a piece of Xiao Tingyun's shirt wherever she goes has been laughed at by Han Jiaojiao and Zhou Xinyu many times, almost every time they see her.
But Long Jiu just couldn't change it, and he didn't want to change it. Long Jiu just regretted that the good smell of Xiao Tingyun's body, like the pine forest after snow, could no longer be smelled on that shirt.
Once Long Jiu was in a mood, it was very easy for her to get angry in private. Xiao Tingyun noticed the change in her mood almost immediately, and immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong, baby? Why does it suddenly seem like she's not feeling well?" Are you happy?"
Long Jiu gave him a dull look, and then under Xiao Tingyun's puzzled gaze, he got out of bed and walked to the small closet. He took out his shirt from it. In his eyes, he said wistfully: "It took too long to come out this time, and your smell has disappeared."
Xiao Tingyun's deep eyes seemed to stir up a storm for a moment, but calmed down the next moment. His eyes first glanced at the shirt held by Long Jiu, and then slowly fell on Long Jiu. Jiu's little face looked sad, then he smiled deeply and said, "It seems that my Zaizai really misses me."
Long Jiu glanced at him wistfully and said nothing.
Xiao Tingyun folded his hands and supported his chin, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "What should we do? Why don't you come back now?"
Long Jiu glanced at him sadly again and snorted unhappily, "No."
"No?" Xiao Tingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "Don't you miss me? When you come back now, not only will you have a new shirt, but you will also have me."
Long Jiu pursed his lips when he heard this, then puffed up his face unhappily, and accused: "Don't seduce me here, I have serious things to do."
Xiao Tingyun still supported his chin with both hands, but suddenly tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile, and said slowly, "Serious things are more important, or am I more important?"
Even though she knew he did it on purpose, Long Jiu was still a little angry. She glared at Xiao Tingyun and said angrily: "Brother, don't say such things. You know that these cannot be confused at all."
Xiao Tingyun lowered his eyes and chuckled at her glare. After laughing for a while, he raised his eyes to look at her again. He coaxed Long Jiu, who was about to explode from his laughter, and said, "Okay, I was wrong. I won't joke with you anymore." . Let’s get down to business, this time you come out of Neptune, where are you planning to go next?”
Long Jiu also put away the anger on his face and said seriously: "Uncle Duan hasn't said anything yet, but he should have a goal already. I'll ask him about it during dinner."
Xiao Tingyun thought for a while and said: "If General Duan's next goal is not too important, I have a suggestion."
"Huh?" Long Jiu suddenly became energetic, looked at him with bright eyes, and asked: "Do you have a goal? Where?"
Seeing that she suddenly became energetic again, Xiao Tingyun smiled and said, "Gamma Mars from the Victory Galaxy."
After saying this, Long Jiu showed a blank expression. Xiao Tingyun smiled and explained to her: "Gamma Mars is an uninhabited planet. The entire planet is like a small sun because the temperature above it is too high. So no living thing can survive on it. Of course, with the current technology, neither humans nor alien races can get too close there."
"But we can't get close to Gamma Mars, but I believe you can do it, baby."
After all, he had seen Long Jiu directly enter the active volcano with his own eyes.
Long Jiu nodded thoughtfully. Maybe Gamma Mars is indeed an existence that other creatures cannot approach, but it does not include her. Not to mention that Gamma Mars is called a small sun. Even the sun in the wilderness back then On the stars, she can travel unimpeded.
only.
Long Jiu asked curiously: "Is there any special energy on Gamma Mars?"
Xiao Tingyun nodded: "There is a kind of metal called gamma solar gold. The surface temperature of gamma Mars is 5200 degrees Celsius, and the core temperature is as high as 14 million degrees Celsius. However, gamma solar gold cannot survive such high temperatures. It’s still intact, you can imagine how powerful it would be if it were used to build mechas or weapons.”
"But it's not easy for you to forge such a high-temperature-resistant metal." Long Jiu asked.
Xiao Tingyun also did not deny that there are still deficiencies in the technology of forging gamma solar gold. "Although there is no way at the moment, it is only temporary. We can simulate a higher temperature and try to forge it. Once If successful, this will be the latest breakthrough in mechas and weapons."
Seeing what he said, Long Jiu understood that he or Shen Qiao had already figured out a countermeasure, and immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll tell Uncle Duan now that we'll change our route to Gamma Mars."
After Long Jiu finished speaking, she was about to jump out of bed to find Duan Lishu, but before she could get out of bed, she heard Xiao Tingyun shout again: "Baby, wait a minute."
After hearing this, Long Jiu paused, looked back, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tingyun's expression became serious, "Actually, there is a more important reason for you to go to Gamma Mars besides the solar gold on it."
"What's the reason?" Long Jiu became more and more curious and immediately lay back down.
Xiao Tingyun frowned lightly, with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in his tone, "Just three days ago, our intelligence agent in the Vido Galaxy sent intelligence about Gamma Mars. According to the information the intelligence agent sent back Li said that life forms are suspected to have appeared on Gamma Mars."
Long Jiu opened his eyes slightly, "Didn't you say that no living creatures can survive on Gamma Mars? And in such a high temperature, who dares to get close? Aren't you afraid that it will spontaneously combust before you get close?"
Xiao Tingyun looked a little solemn, "So the intelligence personnel couldn't be sure, but at that time two intelligence agents detected life forms moving on Gamma Mars at the same time. If there was a problem with their detectors at the same time, that would be completely wrong. It's impossible, but if nothing goes wrong, I really can't think of any other race of life forms that can operate on Gamma Mars under such high temperatures."
Long Jiu narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtful. Finally, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Tingyun and asked, "Brother, do you have any ideas?"
Xiao Tingyun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Either unknown life forms have appeared on Gamma Mars, or someone has the technology to withstand the high temperature and quietly landed on Gamma Mars."
Long Jiu followed his guess and analyzed: "If it's the former possibility, it's okay. After all, even if new life forms appear on Gamma Mars, it has nothing to do with us at present. But if it's the latter possibility, regardless of those Which race do people come from, and the technology they possess is worth studying, and why did they quietly land on Gamma Mars?"
Although Long Jiu finally asked why, she and Xiao Tingyun already knew the reason.
What else could we do to land on Gamma Mars despite the high temperature? It must also be for Gamma Sun Gold. Xiao Tingyun and others knew that there is such a precious special metal on Gamma Mars, so others must also know, because This is not a secret in the first place, but no one has ever been able to enter Gamma Mars to mine it.
Long Jiu could think of these, but Xiao Tingyun would only think more than her.
Xiao Tingyun looked at Long Jiu solemnly, with a bit of worry in his eyes, "So, you have to be careful when going to Gamma Mars this time, because the temperature of Gamma Mars is too high, and our intelligence personnel cannot Dare to get close, so I don’t know what the current situation is on Gamma Mars.”
Long Jiu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Xiao Tingyun's eyes were reluctant and hesitant, "Actually, I have been hesitating before whether to tell you about this, but right now, only you here can enter Gamma Mars, so..."
Long Jiu knew what Xiao Tingyun was worried about. She smiled sweetly at him and said, "Brother, don't worry, the high temperature on Gamma Mars is nothing to me. As for who is there, it doesn't matter either." Not me."
Xiao Tingyun couldn't rest assured at all, but Long Jiu was the only one who could do this now.
Xiao Tingyun was quite helpless, "Gamma Sun Gold is too special. No matter who gets it, it will not be a good thing."
"So that kind of good thing can only fall into our own hands." Long Jiu said with a smile: "After all, if we fall behind, we will be beaten."
Xiao Tingyun smiled bitterly, "Yes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. In order to make the empire's armed forces stronger, I can only work hard for you this time."
