Chapter 185: Bubbles
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A space amoeba larva that looked lost was following Li Wenyuan’s spaceship. However, from the movement, she seemed a little timid.
As everyone knew, space lifeforms that could travel across galaxies in the universe were usually not small.
Even though this space amoeba was still young, it was still much larger than an average frigate.
And the frigates in the Milky Way, even the smallest ones were large spaceships that could hold up to a hundred people.
In the past, no one would have dared to allow such a space amoeba to follow behind a spaceship because it could easily destroy smaller spaceships.
Most civilian spaceships were not very big.
There was once a wealthy businessman who tried to build a luxury passenger spaceship the size of the Titan Battleship. It was known as never crash in the Milky Way at that time.
However, in fact, the spacecraft crashed into an asteroid during its first voyage because it couldn’t dodge in time, resulting in a disaster that would go down in history.
Although the cause of the accident had been identified as a hull rupture caused by a collision with an asteroid, there were still many mysterious and conspiracy theories surrounding the accident.
In the end, the tycoon who built the spaceship was found dead in his home, adding to the mystery of the accident.
Since then, the civilian spaceships in the Milky Way had been miniaturized. Only the colonial spaceships that had taken the pioneers still maintained a large size.
It was difficult for civilian spaceships to fight back against these giant space lifeforms. They could only rely on their detectors to avoid possible threats in advance.
The biological frequency synchronizer provided by the Pyro Alliance solved this problem. At least, through this equipment, the spaceships could be considered members of the space amoeba and pass through safely.
Although Li Wenyuan didn’t need any equipment, he had used similar methods to make his spaceship appear harmless in the eyes of most space lifeforms.
In that case, it seemed normal for a lost space amoeba larva to mistake his spaceship for its mother.
However, although the words were so, Li Wenyuan knew more or less about the habits of these space lifeforms.
It was the instinct of life to seek benefits and avoid harm, and it was also the instinct of life to seek protection.
Although this space amoeba larva was ignorant, it was its subconscious behavior to place itself under the protection of a powerful mother.
Even if it was just an inconspicuous research spaceship, there were differences between civilizations.
Li Wenyuan’s research ship would maintain its original navigation strategy even when encountering space pirates. This was because the firing speed of those weapons could not even match the recovery efficiency of his research ship’s shield.
Moreover, no one would dare to attack the spaceship of the lost robotic empire. His spaceship that flew around the galaxy even suppressed the activities of the pirates to a certain extent.
This space amoeba larva instinctively recognized this power, so it followed him persistently.
“What a smart little fellow. Let’s go back together.”
Li Wenyuan was quite relaxed about this matter. It was rare to meet such an active space creature.
Although there were civilizations in the universe that used these space lifeforms to supplement their combat power, there were also civilizations that wanted to dissect these space lifeforms and analyze their secrets.
However, he had no use for such a weak creature at all. He wanted to keep it at home as a pet.
He felt that he might have another pet. After some thought, he opened the random number table.
This was used for naming. Different strings would represent different words.
“Since it’s a pet, I have to give it a name first…”
Li Wenyuan had never been good at naming things, so random was the fastest way.
Therefore, after several rounds of random selection, Li Wenyuan magically discovered that a word called Bubbles appeared in the random names many times.
“Is this the will of heaven? I have no choice but to choose it.”
After a series of complicated biological signals, the young space amoeba that was following far behind finally knew that the signal representing Bubbles was calling it.
This novel feeling softened its timid posture. It began to get closer to its mother like never before.
Li Wenyuan also slowed down the speed of the spaceship, and together with the Bubbles that couldn’t warp, they slowly headed toward the border.
At this moment, the Pyro Alliance and the Space Amoeba Rescue Agency, who were still arguing about the name of the space amoeba larva, finally realized that the target of their argument had disappeared!
“Good fellow! You’re deliberately dragging me so that your people can take her away without anyone knowing, right?” The scientists from the Pyro Alliance were furious, thinking that the other party was playing a conspiracy.
However, the rescue agencies were not to be outdone. They felt that the Pyro Alliance was trying to take advantage of them. Not only did they take away the space amoeba, but they also tried to bite back.
As a result, the debate became more intense. If it weren’t for the fact that the two research spaceships didn’t carry any weapons, they would have fought long ago.
However, just as the argument was about to escalate, the leaders of the two spaceships stopped arguing at the same time and slammed the control panel as if they had just remembered something.
“I remember that there’s a…”
“This is bad!”
They actually gave up arguing at this moment and turned to leave the place urgently.
“My dear, you mustn’t be so stupid as to run near there…” The scientists of the Pyro Alliance prayed as they began to search for the missing space amoeba.
Unlike their anxiety, Bubbles, who was following Li Wenyuan’s research spaceship, seemed very relaxed.
After finding its mother, the curiosity in its young mind took over.
It would often sneak into the atmosphere of the gas giant planet and then fly out with thick smoke. It would also rampage through the asteroid belt, pushing the meteorites to collide like billiards.
It seemed to have higher intelligence than the average space amoeba and had a need to play.
Li Wenyuan’s spaceship would not be too far away from it, and he would often wait for it to have fun before setting off.
This kind of small matter was not even considered progress for Li Wenyuan. Most of his energy was still placed elsewhere.
Gray Wind’s design for her vassal civilization seemed to be coming to an end. It was hard to imagine what she had done that took so long.
Although Li Wenyuan asked if he needed help, Gray Wind rejected him and said that the mystery would be revealed at the end.
In this regard, Li Wenyuan could only hold on to his terrifying expectations and continue to push forward on his path.
For example, building a third circular world, trying to study Level 8 technology, or… searching for the secrets of mankind..
