How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 205 Crew Diary

"Today is the 2522626th home star day I have served on the mother ship. I heard that a group of new recruits are going to serve on the mother ship. Does that mean that my promotion day is not far away? Oh, dear Dear Maria, it seems that the day when I become the captain and marry you is not far away."

...

"On the 2522652nd mother star day, recruits are recruits. Not only do they act recklessly, but they dare to contradict the officer. They are unruly and cause me a lot of trouble every time. Am I being too gentle with the recruits under my hand? It should be, tomorrow Double the training, I want them to completely imprint the rules and regulations of the fleet into the bone marrow and genes."

...

"Another day has passed. On the 2599658th mothership day of service, the atmosphere inside the ship is very dull. The captain, who is rarely seen in person, stands in the speech booth and shows his face in various places of the mothership through the channel. The solemn Announcing the start of the war, I was a little dazed and apprehensive, all training is funny, I am so nervous that I am going crazy now, I am just like a new recruit, Maria, am I ridiculous?"

...

"On the 2599660th home star day of service, since the war was announced that day, the Fourth Fleet set sail from the home port. My mood has calmed down, and I am no longer as shameful as that time, but I still have doubts in my heart. The answer—who is the enemy that the Fourth Fleet is about to face?"

...

After roughly browsing the contents of the first unlocked record panel, Huogu also understood the reason why those aliens locked these things. Things like diaries are private items, so of course you need to wear a lock.

Judging from the style of these record panels, it should belong to the distribution on the ship, and military supplies such as military uniforms, quilts, and pillows should be given to each person.

"Diary, I used to hear it on Earth that seafaring crew members like to write sailing diaries in order to vent their inner anxieties and longings away from the land. Now it seems that the same is true for space crew members."

"If you say that, there should be the diary of the mothership captain himself."

Leaving aside the possibility of the captain's diary recording military secrets or military codes, there is one thing Huo Gu is sure of is recorded in the captain's diary, that is, the route record.

A responsible captain will add what he has seen and heard in his diary every day, what he has encountered, where he has arrived, how far he is from the starting point, and how long he expects to arrive at his destination. These will be written, which is a way of self-reflection , is also a kind of backup record, and at the same time these are not confidential, there is no need to hide them, and speaking them out can also soothe the heart, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

Therefore, as long as that Captain Brian kept a diary, Hogu would be 100% sure that the contents would exist in the route records.

Thinking of this, Huogu came to his senses, and through the route records, he could naturally determine the location of the alien's home planet, so he didn't need to wait for the results sent back by the probe.

However, with the passage of time, Huo Gu gradually became a bit powerless. The performance of the mothership AI was too high. After reading one diary, he deciphered ten of them. After thinking about it, Huo Gu decided to recruit Ming and the collectors. come to help.

[Huogu, is this information really useful? All I saw was a bunch of whining and yearning, which obviously didn't help much in the fight later on. 】

Ming, who was looking at those diaries, felt that Huo Gu's actions were a waste of time.

"So you are focusing on the wrong focus. Don't focus on those emotions. Pay attention to the details, such as the military training described in it. The content of the training is either to make up for combat weaknesses or to adapt to military tactics. The more people involved in this training subject There are many, which means that it is very likely that it is a military exercise for some kind of macro strategy."

"In the army, there is no sloppiness, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, especially when it comes to training. You don't have to tell why a soldier is doing this, but you have to tell him what to do, how to do it, and arrange him to do it, otherwise Until the end of the training, the soldiers are still ignorant, and they don't even know why they failed in the training."

"In addition, there are eating habits. Don't think this is useless. This information can help us understand them more comprehensively. The information of thinking modeling is more comprehensive. In addition..."

Just when Huo Gu wanted to talk to Min endlessly, the collectors called Huo Gu on the channel, and they found some abnormal things in the diaries of many crew members.

"Will, can you see what this is?"

"Um?"

Huo Gu let out a doubt. The contents of the diary delivered to it by the collectors were indeed a bit weird. They were not describing anything in words, but recorded patterns with unknown meanings.

The first pattern you see is a big circle covering the entire panel, inside the big circle there are small circles, inside the small circle there is a smaller circle pattern, and so on, all the way to the center, just like a shooting range. gun target.

Then, this pattern is superimposed on another weird pattern of interlaced triangles, why overlap? Because the painting styles of the two patterns are too different, it is difficult for the visual system to connect them together. This visual difference even gives people the illusion that the interlaced triangular patterns "stand" at first glance.

After carefully looking at the pattern for a while, Huo Gu, who didn't see anything interesting, continued to browse the information behind.

It is still a pattern, and it is also a big circle, but the one in the center is no longer a staggered triangle, but more like a three-year-old child's random graffiti, messy, if the previous one can still see the artistic style of three-dimensional geometry, now this one is Completely meaningless.

Continuing to turn back, other types of patterns gradually appeared. It seems that the painter is no longer limited to the original large circular body, and then, in the subsequent patterns, non-Selin characters will appear from time to time.

The penultimate entry in the diary is an unfinished painting...in fact, it cannot be called a painting, because in Huogu's view, it is just graffiti, but it is only half-painted and not finished.

At the end of the chapter, Huogu finally saw something he could understand. The last page was filled with the words of the Serene people. It seemed that the artist did not intend to continue drawing.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, why did I choose to be born in this world? Why did I have such a strong curiosity about the unknown? Living on the calm island of ignorance, in the vast and endless In the dark ocean, but this does not mean that we should sail for it, I should understand this truth, I should understand..."

There was a very small piece of self-report, Huogu stopped when he saw this, and there was only a mess of graffiti left behind, and he couldn't figure out what it meant.

In the last article, between the lines, you can faintly feel the author's self-blame, fear, regret... He seems to have encountered something, so that he stopped painting, and wrote these in the later pages.
