Departure againStar Map Draftsman I: Federation War

Sandra told Dawn Lucius to take a break and that they were going to depart for the North Pole, where the shield was closed and left some unstable places when it was built, and where they might find an exit to get out. Cut into six pieces by the iron frame of the window, tilted and cast on the living room floor, Stacean Lucius rolled around in those broken pieces, and he told Dawn Lucius it was warm there. It was just about the time the Earth’s splice base was being rushed, and with the sound of the rock crusher pounding rocks, the crash between the drill’s bit and the big iron arm, and the rustle of stirring cement, the beautiful morning was like a piece of soft music being placed in the vegetable market. But it didn’t hurt Dawn Lucius’ mood, and his drowsy sleepiness, just like this moment.

He was thinking about where to build a small house, in front and behind the house should have a small yard, so he and Stacean Lucius, or with Norm Quentin in the yard in the sun, chat, but also find a clear night to observe the stars. Dawn Lucius has always felt that the lower half of the flower is beautiful and the upper half of the dense flower buds are like the hope of certainty. The main point is that the checkerboard flower is particularly attractive to bees. The yellowish stamens have thick pollen, which Dawn Lucius has planted before, and from morning to night, there are bees lining up to pick the pollen, and they will cover their heads, paws and the backs of their wings with the sweet scent, and then discreetly fly back to the hive.

“Wake up, Dad, wake up.” Norm Quentin was gently pushing Dawn Lucius’ arm.

“What’s wrong?” Dawn Lucius asked, holding Norm Quentin’s hand as he glanced again at the wound on his chest, which he clearly felt painful.

“Dawn, we’ve got a new problem.” Sandra ran over from the cockpit, her face full of worry.

“What’s wrong?”

“Visadio Planet’s rotation speed is being increased and the rotational speed is still increasing, and the further we run up two levels, the greater the centrifugal force and the greater the gravitational force we feel on the planet. We’ll be injured internally and won’t be able to keep moving.”

Yeah, as Dawn Lucius noticed when she came, Visadio Planet’s planetary makeover was complete, with Madam Winifred giving it a bulletproof vest on the outside and a motor on the inside.

“So we?”

“Got to get back to Bourlo City,” Norm Quentin replied.

“Isn’t there still a war going on over there?”

“Suspended.” Sandra shook her head, it seems pause is not quite right to say, she explained to Dawn Lucius the current situation, after Jonathan wounded Carlson, all Strath army then went to war with Jonathan’s army, coupled with the better counter-attack of the Everlasting Army, Jonathan then organized his army to evacuate, the Ninth Legion and Jonathan took Centaly to the South Pole, but the Strath people didn’t intend to let him go, Burt commanded all the Strath troops in pursuit, but the war didn’t slow down Centaly’s escape. They have confronted the Strath army in the wide area of the South Pole.

“Where’s Madam Winifred?”

“It should be recuperating in Bourlo City, the shields were turned off by her, and making Visadio Planet spin faster is something only she has access to.”

Dawn Lucius felt as if the wound was reopened as painful, centrifugal force is throwing them away toward the edge of the planet, the farther away from the equator feel the gravitational force will be greater, if more than the body can withstand the limit, the first depletion of human physical energy, followed by the heart’s ability to pump blood will be reduced, coupled with the lungs each difficult to breathe in less oxygen, the human brain will begin to drowsy, vertigo will be in The curtain will be pulled up in front of the eyes, and the hangover-like drowsiness and the genetic instinct to survive will pull at the body until it goes into shock. As the airship struggled to get to Bourlo City, Visadio Planet’s North and South Pole troops were facing these problems, and most of the wounded fell down and never got up.

“Dad, are you not feeling well?” Norm Quentin asked when he noticed Dawn Lucius breathing weakly and shook Dawn Lucius’s arm.

“Nope.” Dawn Lucius sucked in a hard breath, which almost made him cry with pain.

“Dawn, you hang in there, we’re almost to Bourlo City.”

“Am I ...... serious?” Dawn Lucius asked through clenched teeth.

“Don’t worry, we’ll find a way.” Sandra took Dawn Lucius’ other hand and put it to her mouth, kissing his arm as Sandra checked over his wound and then re-treated him.

Sandra drove the dirigible is Moreth Federation, triangular shape, especially good for flying in bad weather conditions or in battle, but they flew away from Bourlo City on the way to be hit by the Ninth Legion, they almost flew to the Arctic Circle, the dirigible near the tail hole is getting bigger and bigger, and then against the strong centrifugal force back to fly, Sandra had to choose a lower speed to avoid disintegration. Sandra had to choose a lower speed to avoid the disintegration of the dirigible. When Sandra is still worried about being met by Jonathan’s army on the way back, Jonathan and his men have already returned to Bourlo City, but only a small number of people who were on the attack plane or airship have returned, as for those who went down to the land, they have not returned. When the three arrived outside Bourlo City, the excessive gravitational force did not cause more than damage to the buildings, the entire city without the Everlasting Army, but the city gates closed again, the three carefully around the city walls, did not encounter obstruction, the ground lying dead soldiers, when they were alive to fight each other, but quietly lying together after death, how ironic ah.

Dawn Lucius felt better, after all, Bourlo City was near the equator, closest to the center of the earth, and the centrifugal force didn’t affect it that much. When he opened his eyes, the blimp had stopped outside Madam Winifred’s palace, in the same square where the treasurer had intended to cut off his arm. Originally, there were the most corpses here, but now it was cleaned up, and the huge statues on either side of the square looked down on everything that had been let loose here, and they did nothing and said nothing. dawn Lucius felt himself lying on a stretcher. When Dawn Lucius looked upward, Sandra was smiling at him, and the tenderness in her eyes was like a book Dawn Lucius loved, with all its excitement and tenderness.

“Where are we going?” Dawn Lucius asked.

“Go get someone to heal you.” The corners of Sandra’s mouth pulled back and her smile grew a little larger.

“Is there danger?”

“No.” Sandra said with a shake of her head.Norm Quentin turned his face to Dawn Lucius and nodded to him before walking quickly towards the building.

When we saw Madam Winifred again, her hair, which had been woven into many thin strips, had been completely unraveled, and the ends of her hair did not look shiny with fireflies, and she was dressed in black to make her look more distant. She was half reclining on a throne chair, and two rows of soldiers surrounded her in a semicircle, the row of soldiers close to her holding capability shields, and the outer layer of soldiers holding guns. Jonathan, the two soldiers, Jonathan and Burt, were each watched by several soldiers to keep them at a distance, but this could not stop their verbal warfare, and Lord Winifred, like a child who had made a big mistake, sat on the floor without saying a word. The two medical officers examined Dawn Lucius, took Sandra’s original stitches apart, applied a cold liquid, and swept back and forth with a goose yellow light on it.

“Thank you, ma’am.” After seeing Dawn Lucius able to sit up, Sandra bowed toward Madam Winifred and thanked him.

Madam Winifred did not answer Sandra after giving her a look, but looked directly at Jonathan. “Jonathan Moreth steader, what else do you have planned?”

“It’s none of your business, is it?” Jonathan glanced at Madam Winifred before continuing without good grace. “Give me back my army.”

“That’s a little hard.” Madam Winifred shook her head and looked toward the soldiers next to her, several of whom walked over toward Jonathan, and she added. “Visadio Planet’s rotation will slow down, but it will be many years from now, and I’ve turned off the rotation acceleration, but, really, it will have to be re-corrected by the galactic gravitational system to slow down, and maybe never.”

“What do you mean?” Jonathan pointed at Madam Winifred and was ready to rush forward when the soldier behind him gave him a direct shot to the butt of his rifle, smashing Jonathan into a few jumbled steps forward, and he was held down on his knees by several soldiers before he could stand still. “You dare to touch me?” Jonathan struggled hard several times to try to stand up, but was unsuccessful.

“You can be a good leader and bring the Moreth Federation to peace and prosperity, or you can be a bad politician and make everyone pay for your worthless ambition. Moreth Federation, but you are different, you except Centaly and the Ninth Legion, no one will stand on your side.” Madam Winifred turned her back to Jonathan and continued after a sigh. “Moreth Federation’s old Moreth steader, not because he had Star Source and became respected, when he didn’t have Star Source, he was willing to lead a bunch of suffering people to resist and help them get a fairer living environment. When he had Star Source, he did not abuse the ability of Star Map Draftsman, he let Ashton Federation master White Crystal technology, let Moreth Federation master Star Bridge technology, this is the gap between you and him. ”

“I told you, it’s none of your business ......” Jonathan raised his voice in anger as he jerked to get up and the soldier behind him slammed another rifle butt into his back, causing him to start coughing.

“I will only say the next words once.” Madam Winifred paused as she lowered her voice and propped her hand on her waist on the uninjured side, trying to soften the pain of her wound as she readjusted her stance before continuing. “There will be no more of your army, you can take the rest of your men back, I’ll let you go, and when you get back, you can think about how to be a good Moreth steader. but if you try to go to war next time, then you don’t have to go back. Now, you answer me, do you want to go back and be a good Moreth steader? Or do you want to continue to be enemies with me Ashton Federation?”

“I’m not making an enemy of Ashton Federation, I want ......”

“That?” Madam Winifred asked, interrupting him and pointing to the Star Source on Dawn Lucius’ arm.

Jonathan didn’t chime in.

“If that one comes into your hands, it would be better to burn Orion Arm clean with a fire. Don’t even think about it, I can promise you before the war, now, it won’t come into your hands.”

“It’s useless for him to take it.” Jonathan argued.

“That is not your concern, I can leave the matter of your attack and destruction of Ashton Federation alone, but you have to tell me where the Sane ship is hidden by you?”

“I’m not the one who hid it.” Jonathan was full of resentment as he gave Lord Winifred a quick sweeping glance.

“I believe you.” Madam Winifred raised her hand to signal the soldier to let go of Jonathan, and after Jonathan stood completely straight she continued. “It’s not too late to go, remember what I said.”

“Wait.” Madam Winifred had just finished speaking when Burt shouted loudly. “What about the fact that he injured my big brother? Just let him go?”

“So what do you want to do?” Madam Winifred asked as she looked at Burt, her voice lower, but loud enough for anyone close enough to hear, as she walked in Burt’s direction.

“So what do you say?” Burt asked rhetorically.

“You want to destroy White Crystal, now do it. You want to develop technology to explore the universe, Ashton Federation can give you the technical support.”

“But you’ve destroyed Malea Planet, all the technology, how can you technically support it?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, I can tell you, I Ashton Federation these thousands of years have not been idle, we have built many bases in distant galaxies like Malea Planet.”

“So you have more White Crystals?” asked Burt, looking at Madam Winifred in surprise.

Madam Winifred shook her head and replied after a pause. “I didn’t invent White Crystal, the person who invented it is no longer around, and that person kept the White Crystal technology hidden in Malea Planet, he used that planet as his safe.” Madam Winifred glanced at Lord Winifred.

“That’s fine, ma’am, the Strath Federation wants extreme speed spaceships, that’s all.”

“Ashton Federation’s library of astronautics technology, you can always come and browse, the spacecraft, Strath Federation can also be built with our Ashton Federation.”

“Well ......” Burt did not expect such an offer from Madam Winifred, he swallowed, his mouth opened wider and wider, but did not know what to say until he closed his mouth and did not say anything, he shook his head after bowing deeply to Madam Winifred.

“Prince Burt, your people can leave now.”

“Thank you ma’am, what about the shields?” Burt asked with an indebtedness.

“I’ll open it now, you’d better assemble in Bourlo City first and then leave together, where the centrifugal force is less.”

After sweeping the hall around and glaring at Jonathan, Burt turned and walked out of the hall.

After watching Prince Burt’s figure disappear from view, Madam Winifred walked back near Jonathan and asked. “You don’t want to go yet?”

“Okay.” Jonathan paused and stared at Dawn Lucius for a moment, he walked towards Dawn Lucius, Sandra and Norm Quentin saw him approaching and rushed to block Dawn Lucius.

“What are you doing?” Sandra asked in a stern voice.

“Hey, please give me back the Star Bridge starter I gave him.” Jonathan said, pointing to Dawn Lucius’ chest pocket.

“Dawn, take it to him.” Sandra didn’t take her eyes off Jonathan as she spoke, and she watched his every move.

Dawn Lucius held out the starter, Norm Quentin bent down and took it from his hand and handed it to Jonathan, Jonathan got it and dropped it straight to the floor, stomped on it a few times and kicked the already deformed starter far away again. He did all this and then stretched his neck around Sandra and Norm Quentin’s body to look at Dawn Lucius, and Dawn Lucius four eyes, he looked at the floor, whispered a “sorry” and then turned and walked quickly towards the hall outside.

“What are your plans?” Madam Winifred asked as she walked up to Lord Winifred and looked out the window.

“Can I have plans?” Lord Winifred sneered.

“You have plans other than to assassinate your own mother.”

“I have one intention, to manage Ashton Federation, but have you given me a chance?”

“Try asking yourself, do you currently have that ability?”

“I have no power, it’s all because you forced me to, the whole Ashton Federation, the whole Orion Arm, is under the control of your White Crystal, who can listen to me?”

“So you colluded with an outsider to grab the White Crystal?”

“Call it what you will, didn’t you also murder your husband and take possession of Ashton Federation?”

“Scum ......” said Madam Winifred as she kicked towards Lord Winifred.

“Am I wrong?” Lord Winifred, who had been kicked down, sat up again and taunted.

“Don’t you forget that he was going to kill you, and I was just trying to protect my child and protect you.”

“That’s what you think, that’s not what my father told me.”

“It was your father, who made Ashton Federation lose its original splendor, who indulged in sound and fury, who disregarded the safety of the people of Ashton Federation, who watched weak planets being usurped by bureaucrats, who acquiesced to wars between lords, even when a lord threatened him to reelect the Ashton Federation’s emperor, he also thought the proposal was good. If Ashton Federation does re-choice the emperor, do you think you and I will survive?” Madam Winifred asked in a stern voice.

“That’s your side of the story, you’re the one obsessed with power, all Father wants is a warm family, but in your eyes, we’re nothing but your responsibility.”

“Indulge in power? You need to get it straight, how can the emperor of Ashton Federation protect his family if he doesn’t indulge in power? At that time, half of the lords have already reached an alliance, don’t you know?”

“Say what you will, anyway, all of Father’s friends have become the victims of your sword.”

“That’s what they deserve, trying to take away Ashton Federation’s rights.”

“That’s what you condemned them for, because of you, Ashton Federation has the Justice Sector as a political group. How many people who are imprisoned by the Justice Sector in Sivastia Planet are really guilty? You use horrible criminal law methods to suppress people who don’t agree with you, and their families will be implicated, and if it was my father who was there, he wouldn’t have done it.”

“Your cowardly father will only make Ashton Federation more chaotic, what is wrong with me ruling Ashton Federation? Ask yourself, under my rule, has Ashton Federation had a horrible interstellar war? Are there any planets in the realm that are starving? Ask yourself.”

“These, are not the results of your suppression?”

“Suppression? Don’t you know that in order to avoid war, I can sacrifice Duncan, in order to avoid war, I can blow up the White Crystal technology and the whole planet, you are good, claiming that I suppress, you don’t help to avoid war even if it is, but also to urge others to attack Ashton Federation, do you think you are qualified to say me? ”

The history of Ashton Federation is something Dawn Lucius had heard about, and Sandra and Sandra’s father had told him about them, the first to master advanced astronautics, flying around Orion Arm in their pride-filled spaceships. trade, helping to build cities and develop agriculture on the planets of lower civilizations. These were paid, but the civilization being helped needed to pay very little compensation. At that time, the Ashton people, like a wise man full of justice on Orion Arm, wandered around Orion Arm and helped everyone he met. But the original sin of business came out, and those who benefited from it developed better and felt that the money earned by Orion Arm was obtained by exploiting them, and interstellar wars began to evolve. The first to break with the Ashton people was the Strath people. After the Ashton people failed to suppress them, they evacuated deep into the Ashton Federation one by one. This led to the slow development of Strath people’s technology. Later, Centaly began to propose a policy of divide and rule, that is, Madam Winifred said to re-elect the emperor thing, more and more people on the side of Centaly, Centaly is now Moreth Federation of the old Moreth steader led the army, their methods are not very honorable In the beginning, it was by killing and conquering the surrounding planets, they used this strategy to expand to more distant star fields, until they were able to fight against the entire army of Ashton Federation, when a full-scale war broke out, and when Orion Arm was almost worn out by the war, Datheon appeared, and this was the beginning of the official formation of the three Federations.

“Ashton Federation to you, how do you make sure you are managing well?” Madam Winifred asked.

“Why should we care? Just abolish Sivastia Planet’s prison, disband the Justice Sector, everyone develop city building and grow crops, give the people their rights back, and Ashton Federation give them technology to build won’t it?”

“Ignorant.” Madam Winifred sneered and shook her head, she turned to look at Lord Winifred and continued. “Sane ship, hand it over, and I’ll keep you alive.”

“I don’t have a sane ship. Besides, how are you going to keep me alive? people on Ashton Federation will know sooner or later that I’ve assassinated you, and those White Crystal believers of yours, they might get me at any moment too.”

“Afraid of death? Then why didn’t you think about it before you did it?”

“Come on, Mother, kill if you have to.”

“Tell me ......” said Madam Winifred, not continuing about killing Lord Winifred as she walked closer to him. “Where is the Sane ship, I will arrange for you to leave Ashton Federation, there is an old colony of Ashton Federation on Centaur arm, you go manage there.”

“Centaur arms?” Lord Winifred glanced out the window in surprise as he turned his face back to look at Madam Winifred and continued to ask. “I thought Orion Arm’s astronautics couldn’t span the barren zone between the cantilevers?”

“That’s what you think, all right, say it.”

“Sane ship is in the North Pole, and now well, nobody can get it.”

“This does not need you to worry about.” After Madam Winifred finished speaking, he raised his hand to indicate a soldier to come forward and handed the star map in his hand to Lord Winifred, on which he marked the location where he hid the Sane ship. By now, Dawn Lucius understood why Jonathan would help Lord Winifred. Jonathan’s plan was to kill. The soldier took the star map and picked a dozen soldiers in the hall, then rushed out of the hall.

“There.” Madam Winifred walked over to Dawn Lucius, he pointed to the Star Source on Dawn Lucius’ arm and continued. “Jonathan sort of repented in time, didn’t he, the device that restricted your ability to use the Star Source he stomped on.” Madam Winifred turned around and pointed to the Star Bridge starter that Jonathan had kicked away, turned his face back to Dawn Lucius and continued. “I’ll give you the Sane ship, you go on the Star Map Draftsman mission.”

Dawn Lucius noticed at that moment that the Star Source on his arm was glowing faintly, and he asked after glancing at the device. “How do you know that one is inhibiting my abilities?”

“I’ve seen a lot of these clumsy maneuvers, and don’t you yourself feel a slight physical change since you got Jonathan’s equipment?”

“That’s not true, but ma’am, do I have to go and do the Star Map Draftsman thing? I was thinking ......” he continued after getting up from the floor and glancing back and forth between Sandra and Norm Quentin. “Be a regular guy, that’s all.”

“You’re thinking, live with your kids, and Sandra.”

“It’s ......,” Dawn Lucius stammered.

“Star Map Draftsman’s mission is a must, although, historically, no Datheon has ever punished someone for not fulfilling Star Map Draftsman’s mission, but you know, they will recall the Star Source, which could get you killed, and, you do something that makes it safer for the people you care about of life. Not to mention, there are plenty of crazy people on Orion Arm, and if they find out you didn’t fulfill your Star Map Draftsman duties, talk badly about going back and attacking the solar system to punish you.”

“But, if I become Star Map Draftsman, I won’t be able to live with the people I care about. A person’s life is short ......,” Dawn Lucius continued, pointing to Norm Quentin. “When he was born, I was his world, and when he was three and had friends, I was his day and night. By the time he went to school, I was merely his weekend, and later, when I went to work on the moon base so often, I was merely his one afternoon, which is my biggest regret, I think ......” Dawn Lucius choked up a little, not knowing what to say, except that Norm Quentin is very important to him, he walked to the two, patted Norm Quentin’s shoulder, and held Sandra’s hand tightly.

“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” Norm Quentin couldn’t understand the language Dawn Lucius was speaking, but he could sense that what Dawn Lucius was talking about concerned him.

“Your dad ......,” said Sandra, looking at Norm Quentin after seeing Dawn Lucius in tears. “He doesn’t want to be Star Map Draftsman, he wants to live with us.”

“I get it.” Norm Quentin said as he held Dawn Lucius’ hand tightly and patted him on the arm. “Dad, you always aspired to the stars and the sea, so you named me ‘Stacean Lucius’ and I know it’s important to you that I’m your tether, but I’m not your tether. I didn’t understand you before, but after I had Katherine, I realized how conflicted men are between their fathers and who they want to be. If you aspire to the starry sea, then take Sandra and go be Star Map Draftsman.”

“But I just got you back, and I don’t want to just leave.” Dawn Lucius said with a sniffle.

“I will wait with Katherine in the solar system for your return. Maybe, while working, Dad can discover new planets, the kind suitable for the survival of the solar system people, then you remember to come back and tell us, and we will move there to live.”

Norm Quentin was right, there was no difference between him and a normal person as long as he didn’t become a pure energy body and continued to live in his current excessive state, he could continue to live with Sandra, besides, no one said Star Map Draftsman had to be alone, Sandra also encouraged Dawn Lucius, she wanted to go with him Sandra also encouraged Dawn Lucius that she wanted to go with him to see more distant galaxies. All along, although she was able to travel back and forth between Ashton Federation and Moreth Federation, the route was the same every time, and she was like a lonely signal in the galaxy, unable to connect with other signals or change routes. In the end, Dawn Lucius chose to fulfill the responsibility of Star Map Draftsman.

As the three chatted, Madam Winifred sent Lord Winifred away. The matter of going to the Sagittarius Arm is, to put it simply, simple; the Sagittarius Arm and Orion Arm are close together, so close are they when the star map is reduced. But in reality, the distance between the two cantilevers is far beyond imagination. When first boarding the expedition ship, the lifeform may imagine that it is a fresh journey, and the heart creates some kind of anticipation before the entrance of sweet food. When the spacecraft spent a long, long, long time coming to the middle of the two cantilevers, the astronauts forgot what had gone before, forgot about the food or the carnal desire, and those past and the future were just two words in their hippocampus, two words that defined something, and what the future was, they didn’t know, or couldn’t feel. Some people go crazy, later Duncan explained these phenomena, even though, the expeditionary ship has advanced refrigeration equipment, the living body can be frozen for a long, long time before waking up, the face has not aged, the body still see, but, the heart, may have died a thousand times.

“It’s time to say goodbye.” Madam Winifred said as she interrupted the trio.

Madam Winifred arranged the Star Bridge and sent a spaceship to send Norm Quentin back to the solar system, she seemed to be having a particularly emotional up and down day, she told Norm Quentin and Dawn Lucius solemnly that she had never wanted to destroy the Earth or to destroy any civilization, Dawn Lucius and Sandra accompanied Norm Quentin to the ship, and he and he hugged, as usual, Stacean Lucius liked to pound his chin in the nest of Dawn Lucius’ shoulder, and they both laughed and cried, and watched the ship disappear from view, and Dawn Lucius’ heart, half of it, went away with Norm Quentin. Afterwards, the soldier who came to report told Madam Winifred that the Sane ship had been towed by them outside Bourlo City, and Madam Winifred arranged for some soldiers to send the two men to board the ship. Although so many things had happened, Dawn Lucius still resented Madam Winifred in his heart, but he did not want to do anything to her.

“That’s right.” Madam Winifred called out behind them as the two were just a few steps away, and after seeing the two turn around, Madam Winifred added. “You’d better go to Ute Star first and say hello."

“Say hello?” Sandra asked, puzzled.

“Well, your brother, and your family I have arranged to go to that planet, you’d better go and give them a safe report.” Madam Winifred turned around and walked towards the palace after she finished speaking, leaving Sandra’s tears of emotion behind her.

The Sane ship was working fine and Dawn Lucius was worried that he wouldn’t be able to fly it, but fortunately he had Sandra with him, the Sane ship was working just as Madam Winifred said, with Dawn Lucius and Sandra landing, the sleeping Sane ship was awakened, Sandra is an excellent Sandra is an excellent pilot, not only mentioning that technically she is excellent, she taught Dawn Lucius how to pilot inside, and the ticket to map the stars has been obtained. But he now has a concern, the rest of his life wants to spend with Sandra, but the difference between his and Sandra’s life form, will it create more problems in the future? Looking out the overhead windows, the gas is focused under pressure into new stars, and the scarlet light from the burns illuminates the surrounding area. Dawn Lucius knew that this was a visual phenomenon caused by the speed of the ship, and that the nebulae, which had been hovering there for hundreds of millions of years, had never moved from beginning to end.

“Thank you for staying with me.” Dawn Lucius said as she put her arm around Sandra’s shoulders after the ship settled into a steady flight.

“And thank you for making me feel like there’s still warmth in this Orion Arm.” Sandra said as she looked up and kissed Dawn Lucius on the neck.

“I thought I would never see you again, and when they were planning to cut off my arm, my whole being felt not fear, but regret, regret that I didn’t get to marry you.”

“So, happy now?” Sandra asked as she squeezed Dawn Lucius’ waist and looked at him with a smile.

“Glad.” Dawn Lucius kissed her forehead before letting out a long sigh and looking at the twinkling star chart in front of her, sweeping it around before fixing her eyes on her temple.

“Don’t worry about it.” Sandra said after glancing at the star map and shaking Dawn Lucius’ arm.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect ......” Dawn Lucius quickly wiped his eyes and wrapped his arms around Sandra’s shoulders and continued. “Life or say it is fate or not, I really can not guess the logic behind it. I thought I would never see Stacean Lucius again, but after seeing it, I am happy again, right, and sad.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Happily, he’s alive and well and has a family of his own. But he’s not the little man I remember, he’s Norm Quentin now, and he’s a very mature politician in his way of doing things. The first time I showed up at the solar plexus, he didn’t come to me, and then later, confronted me with a frozen clone ...... How can I put it?” Dawn Lucius paused, he wanted to say the feelings, the language did not manage to squeeze out of his mouth.

“You should be happy, he is already a mature and wise man, no matter how far you go, you do not need to worry about whether he can protect himself. And you have to admit, he became the leader of the human race, his management, the Sun Cave so barren places can let humans survive, he, ah, is no longer a starry sea for you alone, but for many, many people. Besides ......” Sandra added as she pushed Dawn Lucius out of the cab. “The politics of the solar system is so complicated, when I went to find him, he heard that you were still there, he did not hesitate to pull his own close soldiers to come, only that, the hearts of the solar system is much more complex than the hearts of these major Federation, he had to be careful, this point ah, I value more is his ability to look at the big picture, do not you think?”

“Am I being a little childish?” Hearing Sandra out, Dawn Lucius felt less upset.

“That’s not true, except that, ah, you are a loving father, still thinking that he has not grown up, in reality, he is so much better than us.”

“Really?”

“What really?”

“I mean, you think I’m full of love in my heart?”

“Isn’t it?” Sandra pinched Dawn Lucius hard on the waist and the two pushed and shoved their way into the lounge.

Dawn Lucius and Sandra finally completed that step, looking at Sandra sleeping, happiness grew in his heart into a rainforest, Dawn Lucius pulled the blanket upwards to cover Sandra’s exposed shoulders, he moved closer and sniffed on her hair, he remembered the bamboo forest after the rain, the air was fresh, the mushrooms were growing happily out from the land. Dawn Lucius didn’t feel much sleep, Sandra had been looking after him from start to finish when he was injured. She should be exhausted at this point, Dawn Lucius tucked the blanket under her again, he got up and simply put on some clothes and then wandered around the ship. He went back to the ship’s former cockpit, where the nebulae were cascading outside the portholes, and a mushroom-shaped nebula was marked on the screen, the first stop on Dawn Lucius’ Star Map Draftsman, where he needed to go to mark out the newborn stars. It’s amazing, too, that if the star doesn’t get blown up, it will also capture its own planets, give them light, and then simple life forms will emerge, such as the first single-celled bodies to appear on Earth, perhaps, which can feel the warmth of the sun and the cold of snow and ice, although at this time they don’t know what they are either. A more complex life form is human, and in the Star Map Draftsman manual, if there is a human-like life form already on a planet around a star, that planet cannot be blown up, which is simpler. In the Star Map Draftsman manual, if a single-celled organism appears in a new star system, the star needs to be observed by the mapper, and if no more advanced life evolves in a thousand years, Star Map Draftsman has the right to mark the star as ready to be blown up. This is a difficult problem, which means that Dawn Lucius will need to spend more time in the vicinity of the star if she encounters it, visiting its planets from time to time to record the evolution of life on it.

Dawn Lucius entered the Mushroom Nebula, marked the places he could reach on the chart, set the spacecraft on a mission, and started to investigate the star from the nearest place, flying near the first star, the data showed that the gravity here is unusually strong, Dawn Lucius calculated that this star is almost a thousand times the size of the sun. The newborn star is like a greedy child, constantly sucking in the nebulosity around it, the upper part of the star is faint, the lower part is like a burning firewood, the rapid spin out of the gas around it formed two bands of light, because the density of the gas above it is not uniform, the distant starlight meets the star, is refracted at different angles, in the eyes of Dawn Lucius, this is a gradual blue High-temperature ceramic ball.

Dawn Lucius circled the star a few times, not finding the planets it had captured, floating around the equatorial plane in a mass of meteorites, hot and hard as an old man’s heart, where no life forms could be found, even heat-resistant bacteria like those on Earth, which would be torn apart by gravity. Dawn Lucius opened the hologram of the star chart and took a picture of the star with more than 200 groups of data, dozens of physical data of the star alone, such as diameter size, density, spin speed, gas composition, etc, The most important thing is that it has no planets around it, nor is there any life that has formed.

Dawn Lucius examined the equipment to drop the explosives, understand the principle of operation, he intended to press the drop button, he was not sure how much explosives needed to blow up a star of this size, not to mention, how much courage it took to press launch, his hand stopped in the air for a long time, he could feel his right arm began to ache, muscles like a towel was roughly twisted together uncomfortable. dawn Lucius took a deep breath and moved half a step forward, he was ready, and that’s when an audio message arrived in the message channel in front of him, the autoplay was only seven words - “Hello, Star Map Draftsman!”
