Apocalyptic starship

The cave got wider and wider as you went up, and there were all kinds of electric lights and air purification equipment. Xiao Ke's father's physical strength was terrible, so he had no choice but to take the Rubik's Cube from the old man and carry it on his shoulders, and let Xiao Ke use his spear to keep the fire suppressed. He ran all the way, and was The old man carrying it on his shoulders not only has to bear the bumps, but also bumps into the rock wall from time to time...

"Be gentle with the Rubik's Cube! My dad has been hit by you so many times!"

"I try my best to pay attention, and deal with it first during the emergency period, and then take care of it later..."

Xiao Ke could only keep firing backwards. The firearms and ammunition were so fierce that almost no one could stay in front of the gun. Even the bullets hitting the rock wall and flying stones could seriously injure people. Even Xiao Ke couldn't remember how many shots he fired. Know that the distance to the ground data has been decreasing.

I raced all the way to the elevator, where four knife-wielding prisoners were playing with the elevator. Apparently they guessed that there was a spaceship outside and wanted to take the opportunity to leave. Unfortunately, the elevator was specially programmed after the Rubik's Cube was used and no one else could start it. They killed it with a few jingling shots. The four prisoners tilted their shoulders and threw the old man into the elevator.

"I told you to be gentle! Don't you know my father is old?" Xiaoke yelled.

"The sun is going to rise soon! If you keep trying, we will all die here! Don't delay my work, otherwise I don't mind shooting you two first! Don't think about relying on mechas to defeat me, because if you have any bad intentions, A will kill you immediately." Rubik's eyes turned red, which was particularly scary in the dim light. Xiaoke shuddered and then remembered that the person in front of him was not a human but a robot...

The Rubik's Cube really couldn't stand her verbosity. Time was tight, so why did you have time to handle it gently? Besides, it didn't fall out and make a big fuss!

"Xiao Ke...I'm fine..." The old man saw something was wrong and quickly spoke to calm down.

Xiao Ke stood there feeling a lot wronged. He just asked not to be so rude. With red eyes, he glanced at the Rubik's Cube that was starting the elevator and turned around to continue shooting. In anger, he didn't even bother to shoot. The man on the other side was so suppressed that he didn't dare to look up. He felt unhappy and even fired a grenade to explode the cave, which was filled with heat waves.

Quickly start the elevator equipment. At this time, it is less than five minutes before the light reaches the spacecraft, but it takes more than ten minutes for the old elevator to rise to the ground. The Rubik's Cube is going crazy...

"Come up quickly! The light will melt the spacecraft in five minutes! It will take more than ten minutes for the elevator to go up. Now we can only go crazy!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ke realized the seriousness of the matter. He shot, turned around and jumped into the elevator. The elevator groaned and began to rise very slowly. If this was the case, wouldn't everyone be trapped here and never be able to get out? ? What she didn't know was that the Rubik's Cube mechanical eye was scanning all the equipment around the elevator looking for a way to rise quickly.

Soon, the Rubik's Cube discovered the crazy plan.

"Did you see the red steel cable I marked on your left? Use energy bombs to melt it and interrupt it! Quick!"

Xiaoke obeyed and raised his gun, aimed at the steel cable, pulled the trigger, and the energy bullet shot through the steel cable and broke the steel cable, and then followed the instructions to break the other three.

The steel cable melted, broke, and fell with a clanking sound. The two criminals who had originally planned to shoot upwards were cut off by the falling steel cable. After a pause for a second, the elevator suddenly began to rise rapidly, so fast that the criminals below had no time to do so. After figuring out what happened, Rubik's Cube and Xiao Ke were lying on the steel plate of the elevator, sparks flickering around them due to the violent friction at too fast speed...

The computer showed that the distance from the ground was getting smaller and smaller. When it was still 300 meters away, the Rubik's Cube suddenly broke off a steel pipe and inserted it outside the elevator!

Crunch——

The steel pipe rubbed violently against the wall of the elevator shaft, and sparks flickered and vibrated at an extremely fast frequency. Seeing the steel pipe being worn away bit by bit, it became shorter and shorter. Fortunately, the speed of the elevator began to become slower and slower. The crazy stimulation almost scared the old man to have a heart attack. Ke also felt uncomfortable. According to normal circumstances, the crazy increase in speed would eventually hit the top rock formation. When the remaining steel cables of the elevator broke due to violent fluctuations, the elevator would fall at a faster speed. Fortunately, madmen have crazy ways.

Finally, the elevator stopped at the top. At this time, half of the steel pipe turned red and began to soften due to the high temperature...

"Go quickly!"

The Rubik's Cube jumped out of the elevator, and Xiao Ke jumped out with his father in his arms. Just as he was standing on the steps, the red steel pipe was completely bent, and the entire elevator crashed through the top building with a roar, destroying the elevator machinery, and then brought sparks. Dingdangdang fell all the way to the bottom of the cave.

"Hurry up! Old man, don't open your eyes, I just need you to be exposed to the vacuum for a while!"

He pulled the two of them into the air-sealed door and opened the door on the other side. The air was evacuated. The old man felt it was difficult to breathe and his eyes turned red. He was so uncomfortable that he remembered to close his eyes. If he didn't close his eyes for a long time in the vacuum, he would become deformed. become blind

Bang! Kicking open the sealed door, the Rubik's Cube ran towards the spaceship first. The sky in the distance was constantly churning red and yellow. There were two minutes left...

He opened the hatch and let Xiaoke and his daughter go in first, closed the door to release the air, and ignored the old man's health. The Rubik's Cube hurriedly ran to the cockpit and started the engine with one hand dancing around the afterimages!

"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up!"

The engine emits translucent flames, and the sky becomes brighter and brighter, even to the point of dazzling. The Rubik's Cube increases thrust crazily regardless of the engine's endurance. The spacecraft begins to rise rapidly, but this is still not enough. It is not enough to leave the ground. It must leave the high temperature range to escape, such as After leaving the surface of the coals, the flames were still hot, and various alarms in the cockpit kept sounding and red lights flashing one after another!

The space where the spacecraft was parked has turned red and the surface has melted and flowed. The speed of the spacecraft has increased to the extreme, and this side of the planet has turned into a world of flames. Xiaoke and his father looked at the raging red and yellow flames outside the cockpit and prayed silently...

Rubik's Cube sat in the main driving position and muttered.

"We're dead... We're dead... But, it's definitely not today."

Flames rose on the side of the planet facing the star. Suddenly, a spacecraft with a large number of burn marks on its surface burst out of the flames. The various warning lights and alarm bells in the cockpit were silent. The starry sky outside the cockpit glass was gorgeous. The spacecraft was in good condition.

He took out a bottle of engine oil, unscrewed the cap and poured it into his mouth. Rubik's Cube breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoke and the old man also breathed a sigh of relief. They found a medical kit and gave the old man some medicine. The Rubik's Cube set a route to fly back to the planet and sent the two of them back first. Otherwise, they would not be able to adapt to the long interstellar journey and there would be no need to take them with them. Holding the oil bottle, Xiao Ke, who was preparing food, found that the mecha had returned to the size of a palm and automatically flew to the Rubik's Cube.

"You are free to do as you like. I will go into hibernation first to repair the machine. Good night." After saying that, the Rubik's Cube sat motionless on the seat, its mechanical energy busy repairing the damage...

Outside the window, the starry sky is still beautiful.

…………

The spaceship flew smoothly, and it was as quiet inside the cabin as outside. Xiaoke sat in front of the cabin window, wrapped in a blanket, and stared outside in a daze.

Behind him, Xiaoke's father walked up to him with a glass of juice.

"Let's have a drink. I'm fine. It's hard on my eyes as I get older. I guess I need to go home and recuperate for a few days. What's wrong? Are you feeling bad?"

Taking the juice, Xiaoke nodded.

"It's because that robot scared you. I don't want it to. You also saw how dangerous the situation was at that time. Even if we are ten seconds at night, we may be melted and burned to death. Robots have robotic thinking that is different from us humans. It’s still pretty good, otherwise it wouldn’t have accompanied you to the damn prison to find me, nor would it have protected you with its body when it exploded. Conflicts are inevitable. It’s a good person, uh, a good robot.”

Xiaoke smiled.

"Yes, it's a good robot. I thought all robots were cruel."

The old man sat next to Xiaoke and looked out the window at the starry sky, recalling many things.

"At first, I thought that robots were all demons. They like killing and destroying. Later, I found out that this was what we humans told us in power. I checked many records. At that time, our planet was still in the hierarchical stage, and high-level people knew everything. You don’t have to do anything, you can enjoy it as you like. Even bullying low-level women is not a crime. Low-level people are like slaves. Later, after the robots came, everything changed. The hierarchical system disappeared. With the advancement of science and technology, it can be said that when robots unified the star field, everything changed. All living things have entered an era of great civilization development.”

"Then why is it like this?"

"It's very simple. When a civilization reaches a certain level of strength, there will be some hidden problems, such as viruses and thinking. Although robots are machines, they also have souls and selves. They can think. I think they are robots. That god must have also discovered the principle that prosperity must decline, so it did not appear when the mechanical civilization was in civil strife. Maybe... it was waiting for an opportunity..." Xiaoke's father looked at the sky blankly.

"Will we return to the era of great civilization development in the future?"

The old man was confused when he heard Xiaoke's question, as if he remembered something.

"Yes, but we have to wait until mechanical civilization solves its internal problems. Now that the planet has returned to the barbaric and bloodthirsty era, mechanical civilization will once again manage all chaotic worlds. Compared with humans, I prefer robots to rule the universe. Their simple desires have no interest in humans. What interest, these advantages are exactly what those big nobles and big warlords don’t have. The most important thing is that they abide by order.”

Xiao Ke nodded in understanding.

After a long flight, the spacecraft returned to the planet.

Instead of landing directly in the city, the Rubik's Cube flew to the swamp and transported all the survivors trapped in the swamp to the vicinity of the city. Everyone was happy that the Rubik's Cube was back again. Being able to get out of the swamp and eat fresh food without having to stay in the poisonous gas all day Every day is like paradise. There are risks in the outside world. The path is their own choice. The Rubik's Cube is just a voluntary labor in accordance with their requirements.

Outside the camp, Rubik's Cube is repairing the spacecraft in preparation for a long-distance interstellar journey. Rubik's Cube has no idea where the next target will be. It can go to the earth or the mechanical planet.

Not far away, Xiaoke stood there looking at the Rubik's Cube.

Xiaoke's father walked to Xiaoke's side. He knew what his daughter was thinking.

"The universe is huge outside. If you want to go out and have a look, go ahead. I'm great here. Maybe if you go out and explore the world, I can find a wife to spend the rest of my life with at home. Go ahead and don't worry about me."

Xiaoke smiled when he heard his father talking about finding his wife. It was his childhood wish to travel to the universe, but he didn’t know how many years it would take him to come back. The one who was most reluctant to leave was his old father. Maybe he could come back in a few years, maybe... You can never come back in your lifetime. In addition to the unknown, there are many dangers in the universe.

"dad……"

"Son, I know you want to go out and have a look. Don't worry about me, an old man. Just go ahead and do it. Anyway, you're just fighting every day at home and maybe it's not safe to travel yet."

"I...thank you, dad. Will the Rubik's Cube allow me to follow?"

"I should agree. You will be a capable person in the future instead of a dragster. Otherwise, according to the robot thinking, you will definitely throw away the dragster." The old man shrugged.

"Then I'll give it a try..."

Xiao Ke looked at his father, and the old man nodded with an encouraging smile. Under his father's gaze, Xiao Ke walked around the Rubik's Cube in an uneasy mood, wrung his fingers, and finally opened his mouth to express his idea of ​​traveling with him. Unexpectedly, the Rubik's Cube thought. He agreed without thinking, and it was so neat that Xiao Ke didn't expect it. He opened his mouth and didn't react for a long time.

The Rubik's Cube doesn't matter, just go for it if you are willing to take risks. Anyway, you need a cover from behind to shoot in a war. It is better to find an enhanced person than an ordinary person. At least the enhanced person is strong enough and has decent fighting ability. It is not a problem to defeat the master with a little arm.

One sunny day, many people outside the newly established camp were waving to the spacecraft that was slowly taking off. Sitting in the main and co-pilot seats in the cockpit were Rubik's Cube and Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke tried hard not to look at his elderly father on the ground. The Rubik's Cube can't control the matter and can't control the sadness. Just be sad if you are sad. It will be fine in a few days.

The spaceship gets higher and higher and finally flies into the sky and disappears. It passes through the dense mechanical army formation and the Rubik's Cube controls the spacecraft to fly away. The matter of the parasite robot needs to be solved, the civil war needs to be stopped, and the universe needs to be built...

The next day, Xiaoke finally recovered from the sadness of farewell and began to pay attention to various beautiful nebulae. The nebulae were very beautiful. The various colors of purple, red, yellow, and blue complement each other so beautifully that it is breathtaking. The Rubik's Cube sat in the driving position and just drove. The back cabin carried a lot of fresh water. Food, clothing and other supplies are still very troublesome for humans. The Rubik's Cube only carries a few boxes of engine oil...

"Which planet are we going to?" Xiaoke asked while eating fruit in the passenger seat with her legs crossed.

"Go and see Earth."

"Earth? Why is the name so ugly? Can't it be made nicer?"

"What's that called? I don't like it because it's beautiful and fresh. It's better to keep it simple and direct, otherwise it will be too troublesome to display on the screen and increase the burden on the computer."

Xiaoke rolled her eyes and ate the fruit in one gulp.

The Rubik's Cube adjusted the display to display the flight route. A planet was not far ahead, and the planet was marked as capable of limited survival.

The planet is completely covered in white, which is very conspicuous among other planets. The white color must be related to ice and snow, and the cold is inevitable.
