Half a month later.

Ice giant synchronous orbit, inside the [Taotie] material transport ship.

In order to maintain the strength of their body muscles and bones, Hope and Hansent are training in a simulated gravity chamber as usual.

"Hope, when do you think we can start our second mission?"

While Hansent was exercising, he was looking for something to say when he had nothing to say.

Hope rolled her eyes angrily.

"Brother, when you were inside the Ice Star, you were eager to come out as soon as possible. Now that you are out, you are talking about the next mission every day."

"If I remember correctly, this should be the 47th time you have asked me this question."

"Tell me, what is your mentality?"

Hanssen put down the dumbbell in his hand with a sneer, scratched his head awkwardly and said, "The main reason is that this task has been weighing on my heart, and it's very uncomfortable."

"……call!"

Hope put down the exercise equipment in his hands and exhaled hard.

"You have to ask the Academy of Sciences about this."

"Didn't Professor Lu already say that?"

"Only when we successfully decipher the language system of those amino giant fish can we start the next mission."

"Do you still want to be kicked like a ball?"

Hearing this, Hansent shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, stop joking."

"I never want to see that giant fish again."

"A few nights ago when I went to bed, I dreamed of a giant fish coming out of my bed and hitting me hard. That scene..." Hansent shuddered violently.

people."

Hope shrugged and returned his attention to the exercise equipment in front of him again: "So, just wait."

"Maybe in the next second, Professor Lu will ask you to look for giant fish in the liquid ammonia ocean?"

As he said that, Hope raised his eyebrows at his teammates with a narrow look on his face: "You can enjoy the giant fish's 'love' by then."

"You!" Hansent's mouth twitched sharply.

Just when he was about to "greet" his lost friend, a holographic projection unfolded in front of him, interrupting the words on his lips.

"Received communication request from Dawn Star, connecting..."

A smooth electronic synthesized sound sounded in their ears.

That is the voice of shipboard artificial intelligence 1.

Hansent and Hope looked at each other.

"What a good thing you did!" Hansent glared at his teammates and said to Hope.

As for Hope, he shrugged helplessly, picked up the towel nearby and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Video communication is connected.

"Hope, Hansant, good afternoon."

A gentle voice came from the speaker.

"Good afternoon, Professor." Hope looked at the man in the picture and greeted him quickly.

"How is your physical condition?" Lu Yongchang chuckled and asked again, "You haven't slacked off during this period, right?"

Hope and Hansent naturally nodded repeatedly.

"Professor, has the giant fish's language system... been successfully cracked?" Hope hesitated for a moment and asked.

In the picture, Lu Yongchang nodded and shook his head.

"It can be said that it has been cracked, but it's still a little bit short." Lu Yongchang gestured with his hand, "It's just a little bit short."

Hope suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He swallowed subconsciously: "It's bad... What's the difference?"

Upon hearing Hope's inquiry, Lu Yongchang suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Obviously, he was waiting for the two of them to ask this question.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

"Based on compilation and speculation, we have successfully completed more than 90% of the language deciphering work."

"but!"

"As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice. Without conducting experiments, we don't know whether there are any problems with our translation."

"so……"

"Next, I need you to go to Ice Giant again."

"The [Poseidon 2] exploration ship has been manufactured and is equipped with an ultrasonic generating device." Lu Yongchang said with a smile, "You have to test the effect of this thing."

"If the effect is as expected..."

"Can we come back?" Hansent asked repeatedly with hope in his eyes.

What he gained was naturally Lu Yongchang's strange eyes.

"Are you kidding me?"

Lu Yongchang looked at Hansent with strange eyes: "If this thing is useful, of course you will continue to carry out the unfinished exploration mission last time!"

"The [Poseidon 2] exploration ship costs a lot to start up once, so you have to make the most of it, right?"

Hansent swallowed hard and nodded silently.

"Professor, you are right."

"It's us who are shallow."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore." Lu Yongchang clapped his hands, "You all know the research results during this period."

"The armor on the giant fish is most likely a mineral from the depths of the liquid ammonia ocean. Your goal is to follow the giant fish to find this mineral."

"There are already nine [Poseidon 2] exploration ships on the production line. If nothing else, you will have more companions in the future."

Upon hearing this, Hope and Hansent's eyes lit up slightly.

The two turned to look at each other, and both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

…

Three days later.

A starship with a very similar appearance to the [Poseidon] exploration ship slowly sailed into the port of the [Taotie] material reserve ship.

Hope and Hansent, who had received the notice early, were already ready for everything.

Under Zero's control, the hatch of [Poseidon Type 2] slowly opened.

Hope, who was waiting aside, walked into the cockpit first.

"Ouch!"

Hope subconsciously sighed: "This second-generation product is just different!"

“The cockpit is even more spacious than before!”

Hansent followed Hope into the cockpit.

Different from Hope's attention focus.

The first time he saw it, he saw playing cards, chessboards and a small holographic game console placed next to the driver's seat.

He nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of smiles: "The professor really listened to my suggestion!"

"Without some entertainment, I don't know how I could survive the long dive time."

Hope didn't reply.

He quickly took a step forward and quietly placed the game console next to his seat.

"Hey! You..." Hansent's face changed slightly when he discovered this, and he was immediately ready to speak out and ask for justice.

"Okay." Hope sat down in the driver's seat and fastened the seat belt skillfully, "It's time for us to set off."

Hansent: "..."

Feeling the slight vibration when the Hall propulsion device started under his feet, Hansent swallowed his words and quickly came to his seat.

The next moment.

[Taotie] The closed port door of the supply reserve ship opened again.
Chapter completed!
