"Monogamy is correct in peacetime." Ze smiled, "If you don't want to marry the Feng family, you can only be my sister. In order to continue the noble bloodline during wartime, polygyny and polyandry are allowed for nobles. The head of the Zhen family has been begging me to package you with a few girls and sell them to him. To be honest, I am really excited that the next generation of the Zhen family will have Feng family blood."
Bai Zhi frowned, "Civilized society doesn't allow people to play like this."
"Perhaps after this battle, we will return to primitive society. It's so primitive that group marriage is possible." Ze suppressed his smile, "You should be lucky that our Feng family does not marry by blood. The most stubborn among the nobles of the empire. The family, relying on their noble blood, secretly maintains blood marriages even during times of war."
Bai Zhi called up the Marriage Law, and sure enough, in a supplementary clause written thousands of years ago, she found money for polygamy and blood-related marriages among nobles during the war, as well as about a dozen operational examples. Bai Zhi looked at it and touched her forehead. She really didn't expect that the scientifically advanced interstellar civilized society would still retain such unscientific clauses, let alone that the nobles could flexibly use such clauses to maximize their interests when they needed to marry.
"Who will fall in love with someone else one day and be able to pursue true love?" Bai Zhi asked. The supplementary clause only mentioned marriage and property, not divorce.
"Of course it's okay if you don't have children." Ze decisively sold out all his comrades. "I discussed it with Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai. They think that if it is really necessary, it is no big deal to just go through with it."
Ze is quite satisfied with Bai Zhi's resistance. It would be ideal to combine Bai Zhi and Yuan to give birth to a bunch of smart children for the Feng family, but he would welcome the offspring of two perfect genetic combinations of Bai Zhi and Zhang Tianzhao to be integrated into the Feng family's genes. Ze Ye has absolutely no intention of marrying Bai Zhi as his sister. Compared with the head of the Zhen family who made a clear price, Sen who is not in a hurry and plays the emotional card with Bai Zhi is more likely to successfully abduct Bai Zhi, so Ze is prepared for the rain. Due to the legal loophole during the war, they came up with a way to match Bai Zhi with several husbands, and at the same time trapped Bai Zhi's outstanding partners.
Bai Zhi cut off the communication angrily, opened the door, let Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai in, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when Ze discussed it with you?"
"It's just a fake news, it's not true." Zhang Tianzhao didn't take it seriously. He knew very well what Bai Zhi wanted and didn't want, and Hai Fengqiu knew it just as well as Yun Lai.
Having more nominal husbands is the easiest way to dissuade others from marrying the Feng family and appoint Bai Zhi. There are several husbands, and there is no need to go through assassination attempts to show true love. Killing them all will not stop the Feng family from finding a few more for Bai Zhi, and true love will be even less valuable. The only problem with this worry-saving and effort-saving method is that Bai Zhi will refuse if her moral value is too high, so as soon as Ze mentioned Zhang Tianzhao, he advocated not letting Bai Zhi know about it first. Unexpectedly, Yun Lai, a funny guy, would leak the information to his face.
"Well, when I meet true love, I still have to go with it." Yun Lai poured tea for Bai Zhi, "Have a cup of hot tea and feel better. The little girls from the Feng family are rushing towards me desperately. It's terrible. You Just do something good and save me."
Zhang Tianzhao squeezed Bai Zhi's shoulders and said, "It's just a false reputation, don't worry about it. The most important thing is not to give others a chance to alienate us."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I told you that you don't agree. It would be too troublesome to think otherwise." Zhang Tianzhao winked at Yun Lai from behind Bai Zhi.
"This is a shameless move. Nobles are shameless only in private. There are almost no people who would dare to do it openly." Yun Lai smiled and crossed his arms. "The first condition of alliance proposed by several Hefeng families was to marry you. I don’t mind you having a live-in boyfriend at all. The real family who insists on marrying you is very powerful, and it’s painful for Ze to refuse the conditions they set out. You have a group of husbands, and no matter how good your genes are, your relationship will be messed up after you give birth to a child. I can’t stand it anymore. Let’s get over this difficulty first, and our personal problems can be solved a few years sooner or later.”
"Then you should tell me first!" Bai Zhi was extremely angry. This time, let alone discussion, they didn't even inform her. It was too much. Bai Zhi wanted to shake off the hand on her shoulder, but Zhang Tianzhao held her gently.
In his warm and strong embrace, Bai Zhi suddenly felt that she would agree to take the overall situation into account, and she couldn't say such words. No matter what the considerations were, she would hurt Zhang Tianzhao by saying such things to him. If she said no, Zhang Tianzhao, as her husband, would indeed be a quick target to get rid of in the eyes of the nobles who thought she was a rare commodity. In order to preserve her sense of morality and clear conscience towards him, he would be harmed. She fell silent.
Zhang Tianzhao rarely kissed Bai Zhi tenderly in front of Yun Lai. Yun Lai opened the door and went out with a smile.
"I love you." Zhang Tianzhao flexibly unbuttoned Bai Zhi's uniform, "I know you love me, and that's enough."
Deputy Director Zhi did not go to work that afternoon, and Squadron Leader Zhao, who was on patrol duty, also did not go to work. Dinner was delivered to the deputy director's apartment by Yun.
As the younger sister of the prospective head of the family, Zhi has excellent abilities and perfect genes. She stayed in the Feng family and married two, three or even more husbands. The children she gave birth to would definitely marry in the Feng family, which indeed maximized the interests of the Feng family. . Nobles have dignity, Zhi obviously cannot be the head of the family, and few men are willing to serve as the harem for the Feng family's daughter and return the children born to the Feng family to the Feng family. The Zhen family, which had always wanted to kill anyone who didn't marry Bai Zhi, was helpless with the Feng family's arrangement as a fait accompli, and finally gave up the request for marriage. After the six or seven noble families of the Zhen family joined the alliance, the number of members of the noble alliance to eliminate the bugs exceeded 20. The information center has been doubled in size with the installation of five smart brain hosts, and the number of staff has also doubled.
Yue Dongting and Hao Xing went to the Tianshu Galaxy on the pretext of giving him a gift and stayed in the information center for two days. Every day when eating in the restaurant, Hao Xing's shy and adoring look and Yue Dongting's careful behavior of peeling shrimp shells and dried nuts for Zhi made deputy director Zhi's number of husbands double in legend.
"Let's forget it's delayed you for a few years. Why bring a bastard like Hao Xing here to play? What if he takes it seriously?" Bai Zhi was depressed to death.
Yue Dongting calmly warned and persuaded: The Feng family is targeting Hao Xing. People are here for the baby. If it is difficult to get pregnant, you must find out the reason. Besides, Hao Xing doesn't want to get married at all, so it doesn't matter how many names there are.
'The Feng family's targeting of Hao Xing was also the trouble caused by their naughty children. Bai Zhi wanted to hit the wall.
Zhang Tianzhao’s remarks were very much like those of a harem master: In the future, if anyone of the same kind is exposed and doesn’t want to get married, he or she will be affiliated with our household and I will charge an affiliate fee.
Yue Dongting said: Although I am affiliated, I retain the right to come out at any time.
Yun Lai said: From now on, please call on the eldest lady who wants to divorce her.
Hai Fengqiu said: Is the column for Angelica dahurica's spouse enough?
Bai Zhi opened her Zhi Nao and looked at her household registration information. Damn it, her spouse column had actually been changed. Six gorgeous names were crowded together, including her friends, Hao Xing, and Hao Lang.
"What's going on with Hao Lang?" Bai Zhi asked Zhang Tianzhao, who had finished chatting and put the exam machine on his stomach.
Zhang Tianzhao said nonchalantly: "Buy one get one free gift has no rights, don't worry about him."
"We have no human rights." Bai Zhi crawled from one side of the bed to the other in frustration, "My husband wants a hug."
Zhang Tianzhao stretched out his arms and hugged his wife, "During the war, no one believed anyone and had to engage in marriage. It is not easy for Ze to sell you. Let's be patient for now. By the way, Lei is a little tempted by that Fengling. He Asking if you can do it."
"It depends on what he likes. Fengling and Feng Long are very close. Please tell him to be careful not to get involved by Yun Lai." Bai Zhi said as she moved back and forth for a hug. Zhang Tianzhao decisively threw the exam machine off the bed.
**
"The largest refugee wave in the history of the East Dutch Galaxy broke out. The spaceships escaping from the East Dutch Galaxy gathered outside the star gate, covering an area of more than a thousand square kilometers."
"Insects were found among the first batch of immigrants from the East Dutch star system received by Paradise star. Paradise star announced that it would refuse to accept refugees from the East Dutch star system."
"There are thirty-one families who refuse to accept refugees from the East Dutch Star. The Imperial Human Rights Organization released a human rights black book, accusing the nobility of ignoring human rights and being a cancer on human society, and announced the launch of a petition asking His Majesty the Emperor to abolish the nobility enfeoffment system."
"The pseudo-Cork Kingdom has destroyed nearly a thousand imperial warships. Why is the combat effectiveness of this small country so strong? Please tune in to the exclusive interview sent back from the front by our war correspondent Zhu Zhu in half an hour."
"How weak are our imperial warships? Amateur experts have something to say! See you at Nine Points."
"Marshal Feng, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Fleet, asked the Ministry of Finance: The good men of the Empire are fighting bloody battles on the front lines. Why are you withholding the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle?"
Bai Zhi listened to the news attentively while tapping the keyboard with her fingers to review the logistics work plan. She completely ignored the old director's nagging. Suddenly she noticed that the old director stopped talking and brought a cup of tea to the old man.
"Girl from the Feng family, have you listened to what I have said?" The old director was very weak. He tried to persuade her all morning, but Feng Lizhi was as stubborn as a stone and ignored her completely.
Bai Zhi shook her head and continued working.
"Your husband is a guard of the Feng family. No matter how talented your children are, they are not qualified to be the head of the Feng family. The children are outstanding but cannot be given a position that matches their abilities. Are they willing? Are you willing?" The old man sighed, "As the daughter of the Feng family, there is nothing wrong with you thinking about the Feng family, but you will still be a mother in the future. What will you do when you have to think about your children? Instead of starting a new business in the future, why not just marry the head of the family and let your next generation have a ready-made meal? .”
Bai Zhi is also very powerless. She has nothing to do with the Feng family. She doesn't want to be the wife of the family at all, and she doesn't have such big ambitions. Ze is worthy of her if he tries hard not to sell her out under the premise of cooperation. Is she out of her mind if she wants to sell herself to another family?
"Director, I don't have a child yet. I just want to survive this war." Bai Zhi flicked the monitor, and a data chart popped up on the monitor, "Director, look, this is definitely not a normal fluctuation. There is likely to be a problem on both of these agricultural planets. If there is a problem, a large amount of transportation fees will be added to next month's procurement. Can the Alliance increase its budget?"
"No. Modify the material supply plan. From next month, the restaurant will only provide nutritional supplements. Send newlyweds and couples with marriage intentions back to each family. Regardless of men and women, the work error rate is higher than 0.03%. Return it, and those who don't want to take nutritional supplements can leave on their own." The old man was actually quite decisive when he was doing business.
Bai Zhi wrote the order, and the old man signed his digital signature and sent it to the group. The other deputy directors who had their own areas of responsibility did not have any objections. The information center immediately began to clear out the staff. Within a week, two-thirds of the dormitory was empty. The new staff from each company are old, middle-aged and young, and work efficiency has been greatly improved.
On a rare day off, Zhang Tianzhao drove the security department's small patrol spacecraft to take Bai Zhi out to relax. Yun Lai was half-lying on the passenger seat gossiping, "It's finally a day off. It's long past time to get rid of those naughty kids from the noble family who are engaged in breeding love."
"It's hard to take care of those who stay. The elites are extremely picky. They buy snacks from the Imperial Star brand. Ships from several major department stores come every day and they all operate on scheduled flights. Who in the quarantine department is slacking off?" Maybe there are bugs in the package." Bai Zhi yawned and leaned on the back of the chair behind Zhang Tianzhao, "Where are you two taking me?"
"The cracks in the earth's crust that occurred last month at the end of the sand sea may contain magnetic core minerals, which will greatly interfere with communications. More than 13 patrol spacecraft broke down near here last month. I have contacted the Security Department. Hello, I'll come over today and take you to do some activities." Zhang Tianzhao tilted his head, and their conversation in the cabin would be transmitted to the navigation center word for word.
Bai Zhi understood and opened the note to read. Zhang Tianzhao said in the note: Any monitoring equipment there will be broken, and we can enter the space.
It has been more than a year since I entered the space, and I don’t know if the NPCs have repaired themselves. The fields in the space must be crowded like a tropical rain forest. Bai Zhi sat down between the two of them and cleaned the agricultural machinery in her backpack that came from the Yangzhou warehouse. These machines use energy blocks as energy source, which is much more advanced than the crystal core agricultural machinery of Dragon Palace in the past. As long as the values are adjusted and the energy blocks are placed, the processing, crushing and packaging are all one-stop. Bai Zhi had long been prepared to enter the space.
More than half an hour later, the spacecraft slowed down as it approached the fissure. Zhang Tianzhao exchanged a few words with the navigation center. The spacecraft slid forward for dozens of meters. After a few sizzling sounds, the brains on the wrists of the three people and the brains on the spacecraft simultaneously Call the police and all communications are cut off.
The spacecraft landed on the leeward side of a sand dune. After landing, we walked two kilometers to a ground crack nearly 200 meters wide. Descending into the depths of the fissure, Zhang Tianzhao found a large gap as a temporary hiding place, fiddled with everyone's brains a few times, and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This thing is too bad to be used now. Wife You pour out the food and stuff first. I'll go into the gang's territory to tidy up the warehouse and empty the backpacks. Yunlai, you stay here."
Bai Zhi was stunned as soon as she entered the space. The old NPC man who had been down for a long time suddenly regained his vitality and was bouncing around in the orchard collecting fruits. She looked around worriedly and found that there were no other changes in the space except that there were more flowers and plants and the few buried meteorites had become smaller. After the NPC collected the fruits, it curled up into a ball and bounced happily to Bai Zhi. It flicked open the warehouse panel for Bai Zhi to check and accept. Everything that should be in the warehouse was there, and the washed baskets of fruits and vegetables were highlighted.
The NPC has become more capable again. Is he about to become a spirit?
There are many new recipes coming out of the store, and most of the names are more vulgar than the last. The first and last are either glory or epic, legend or myth. The raw materials are also astonishingly high-quality, and only the place of origin is clearly marked Kunlun and Kunlun Ruins.
Bai Zhi was not in the mood to care about what was in the formula. She bought all the new formulas that were priced at one copper plate. She learned what she could immediately. She threw the ones belonging to Hai Fengqiu and Zhang Tianzhao into their backpacks separately, and then put all the food containers in them. He took it out, mixed it up, stacked it up, put it into his backpack, and traded it to Yun Lai.
Not long after Yun Lai entered, Zhang Tianzhao came out, traded several sets of empty containers to Bai Zhi, and asked, "How about the NPC?"
"I don't know when it will become normal, and a new formula will be released."
Bai Zhi trades the formula to Zhang Tianzhao. When Zhang Tianzhao saw that there was still Hai Fengqiu, he didn't have time to study, so he put it away and went in again. Haifengqiu also found an opportunity to enter the territory? Bai Zhi opened the note and took a look. Sure enough, Zhang Tianzhao made an appointment with Hai Fengqiu to meet at the gang territory.
Did something happen to Ceres? Bai Zhi quickly made a note and asked: Dongting, what are you doing?
After a few minutes, Dongting replied: Several fast food processing production lines in the food factory will be inspected tomorrow. They are busy.
Yue Dongting always had something to say, so since he said that Ceres was fine. Then why did Hai Fengqiu rush into the gang's territory to dump food at the risk of being exposed? Bai Zhi felt that she was too far away from them, and there was nothing in the perceived world. They didn't want to say hello to her. Bai Zhi sighed and continued to pack her backpack.
Fortunately, Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai came out quickly. They protected Bai Zhi in the middle and continued walking deeper. They walked more than 20 kilometers in an hour and a half and reached the bottom of the fissure. On both sides of the broken walls, a strong magnetic substance that has a strong interference effect on communication equipment was found, a black and oily non-reflective layered mineral. When Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yun came to dig, Bai Zhi took the opportunity to go back to the space to take care of the fields and vegetable fields, harvest the wood rice by hand, and even took the time to cook a meal. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to read their notes and chat.
After dinner, Zhang Tianzhao collapsed the crack to cover up the traces of mining ore, leaving traces of beating on the rubble before returning to the ground. After the small spacecraft left the interference zone, it was unable to connect to the star network, and there was no reply when calling the navigation center.
Could it be that the empire found out that the Feng Ji family had treason and sealed the communication center?
"Azhao, can't you climb the wall? I'll drive, and you can climb the wall and see." Yunlai and Zhang Tianzhao changed places.
Zhang Tianzhao connected to the artificial communication satellite closest to the information center, copied several video packages at random, opened the first one, took a look, and decisively cleared away the traces.
"The information center is really surrounded by the imperial fleet." Zhang Tianzhao enlarged the screen and projected it. In the picture, the warships hovering over the information center are densely packed and covering the sky. Several strategic high points of the information center and the high tower of the navigation center are only ruins, and black smoke is still emitting. They have obviously been attacked by artillery fire.
"Look at the material supply center." Bai Zhi reminded, Zhang Tianzhao took a closer look, and saw a large black group of bugs pouring out of a warehouse in the material supply center. This group of little insect men got into another warehouse and came out several times larger. A storm of artillery fire poured into the two warehouses, and the entire warehouse area was wiped out in a blink of an eye.
The video screen went back and zoomed out to re-view the panoramic view. The area covered by artillery fire was close to one-third of the information center's surface building. The second screen shows the fleet's marines landing and fighting the buggers. In the video that lasted for more than 20 minutes, a small team walked and died all the way, going deep into the second underground floor of the information center to fight to the last person.
The third video screen is not long. When it opens, it is the energy hall at the bottom of the information center. Hundreds of blood cocoons hang at the top of the hall. The scene in the hall is tragic.
"Oh my god, we've only been away for a few hours." Yun Lai breathed, "I even checked those warehouses before handing over."
Bai Zhi thought for a while and said: "Based on these videos, the insect men are not that powerful. At least our Feng family guards have the ability to protect themselves. Delete the videos and go back."
The fighting power of the bugs in the video is not as good as the mutated bug bosses on the earth. The proven East China Sea hunting team members will have no problem even if they are left alone to protect themselves. The three of them have to join up with their own people.
The small patrol spacecraft didn't go far before it encountered a military patrol team of five small spacecrafts and made an emergency landing on the Gobi Desert.
"Who are you three?" The captain of the team looked at a woman and two men unceremoniously. The handsome men and beauties were all wearing the uniforms of the information center. They looked noble and elegant. Although they were a little nervous, they were not like the ugly imperial nobles who fled without a fight.
"We are working on this planet, because there is a place in front of us that interferes with communications very badly, so we went over to take a look. Before entering the interference area, we had a call with the navigation center. You can check the record. The time was about three planetary hours ago. ." Zhang Tianzhao spoke very slowly and methodically.
The squad leader was stunned for a moment before responding: "You cannot fly this armed patrol spacecraft until your identities are verified." After checking the recorder on the spacecraft, he found evidence that what Zhang Tianzhao said was all the truth. It was found that the recording function of the recorder was broken because the spacecraft entered the interference zone. The content in the recorder only ends when Zhang Tianzhao calls the navigation center to report that he will lose contact. The team leader responsibly divided the team into two and assigned a spaceship to take the three people back. He himself led the team to explore the direction from which the noble men and women came.
The small spacecraft carrying three people bypassed the information center and flew directly into the warship in space. After boarding the ship, the brains of the three people were taken away by a cold and tall female officer. They waited for two hours in an empty room for isolation and observation. The female officer motioned for them to follow her.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Yun Lai smiled at the female officer, polite and gentle.
The female officer glanced at Yun Lai for a few times but said nothing, but a few minutes later they entered a large room and were delighted to find an acquaintance. In addition to the director and deputy director of the information center, there were more than a dozen high-status nobles in the room, and there was even a Feng family guard from Yangzhou. The guard stood up and gave his seat to Bai Zhi, and quietly made an okay gesture, implying that everyone was fine.
"Oh my God, luckily you three are fine." The old director stretched out his arms to hug Feng Lizhi, but Lin Yunlai frowned and separated him. The old man took out a handkerchief with dazzling gold embroidery and rubbed his eyes. , "I really shouldn't have agreed to let you check that strongly magnetic area."
Bai Zhi leaned forward and took the glass of water handed over by the guard. She thanked her in a low voice before saying with a smile: "Grandpa Director, aren't we back safely?"
"Yes, the place you went to is really dangerous, and you just can't see the insect man. An illegitimate daughter picked up halfway has no sense of belonging to the family. It's normal for her to run away if something happens." Feng Long sneered at full speed.
A dozen aristocratic young men were divided into two distinct factions. One side didn't know anything, and both showed an incomprehensible and gentle smile, supporting Feng Long in a graceful manner. The six or seven people on the other side, like the chief and deputy directors, had expressionless faces and completely ignored Feng Long.
Feng Lizhi was previously the director of Ze's eleventh division. This is a position that requires not only direct lineage, but also outstanding talent. Four of the six husbands Ze gave to Feng Lizhi, who was not yet an adult, showed up. Zhao and Yun were both powerful in martial arts and had excellent commanding abilities. Ting was said to be a rising star in the Feng family's economic development, and Xing Gang entered the letter. The institute has three research projects. These few people, plus Feng Lizhi himself, who is good at analysis and coordination, can make up a team of family heads.
what does that mean? It means that if the Feng Ji Alliance is established, Ze will serve as the head of state. If Feng Lizhi does not break away and form a separate clan, there is a possibility that Feng Lizhi will take over as the head of the Feng family.
When an ignorant quasi-family head sister provokes a quasi-family head sister who is determined to be the head of the family, she doesn't need any help from others, just ignore her.
Bai Zhi also ignored Feng Long's hatred skills and asked in a low voice what happened. The deputy director in charge of the security department looked unlucky and said: "It's a day off. My home is on the planet Tianshu, so I went back. Eight hours ago, the cargo spacecraft from the Imperial City arrived at the port, and insects were found on the ship. After killing the insects, the temporary parcel storage warehouse was isolated and observed, and a bug crawled along the ventilation duct into the food warehouse next door. When the alarm sounded, the captain and deputy captain of the third squadron were unable to contact..."
It was just a coincidence that the supervisors were away during the day off, but it was definitely not a coincidence that the imperial fleet arrived so quickly.
"It's such a pity that this happened." Bai Zhi comforted the unfortunate deputy director.
The Feng family also knew that he was taking the blame, and there was still hope for his future. The deputy director took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his neck, and sat back panting.
The female officer came in with a tray and distributed three brand new micro brains to the three newcomers. She said: "Your brains are completely damaged. In order to facilitate your operations on the warship, the military department has issued you new ones." Intelligent brain.”
"Thank you very much." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, Lin Yunlai took the smart brain in her hand and reset it. Zhang Tianzhao rolled up Bai Zhi's sleeves. The two of them worked together to first buckle the new smart brain on Bai Zhi, and then buckle the smart brain on each other. After making various settings, the three of them put their heads together to discuss and modify the settings in a low voice, and they were extremely close to each other.
"Bichi." Feng Long cursed secretly and proudly approached the small circle of people who showed kindness to her.
The female officer who put down the tray raised her wrist and pressed a few times on the smart computer. The entire screen wall lit up, and the screens divided into several screens showed battles in different areas of the information center.
Red and black bloodstains and inorganic debris can be seen everywhere. Insects always appear from unexpected places, even places that have just been cleaned up. Marines who are armed to the teeth often manage to clean them out. A passage was attacked from both sides by insects that suddenly appeared in the blink of an eye, causing them to be bitten and eaten.
The splashed blood smeared the camera lens, and the creepy sounds of chewing, carapace friction, and human screams when mutated became a symphony from hell. Horrible scenes of female bugs eating male bugs while having sex can be seen everywhere. The women and the two men in the room, except Bai Zhi, looked pale.
The nightmare doesn't end when a less powerful planetary bomb hits the small satellite. The chain reaction caused by the planetary bomb caused two nearby satellites to collide. Three planets in the Tianshu Galaxy changed their orbits. One planet immediately entered a period of geological activity with frequent volcanic eruptions, and the atmosphere of the other planet was undergoing a secondary impact. Half of them were lost in the explosion, and humans could only immigrate to these two planets.
