“That’s for the best,” Guo Xuyang said, turning to Jiang Qixin.
“She doesn’t know anything. The small one was her eighteenth birthday gift, but I saw it shattered into several pieces over there just now.”
“That’s too coincidental? What should we do then?” Jiang Qixin frowned, a little troubled.
“I didn’t tell her about that spaceship.
The cover outside will probably have to be removed soon.
Otherwise, it will be in the way when the spaceship takes off.
If it really comes down to it, we can have people retreat first and let the spaceship ascend directly, so no one gets hurt.
What do you think is the best course of action?”
“How about this?
I’ll have people remove these covers first.
We’ll study inside here for now, and ascend in three days.”
“Alright. You handle it. I don’t mind,” Guo Xuyang said.
“I’ll go inform them to dismantle the covers and have those experts come over to study with us.”
“That’s fine. We’ll take a look at how to control the spaceship here first, so we can explain it to the experts when they arrive.”
Jiang Qixin excused himself and went out.
Xi Youli operated it once, and then let Yu’er try operating it.
Flying the spaceship was very simple: just wear the eye mask and press different buttons.
Open and close the hatch, take off and land, extend and retract the protective shield, and there’s an escape pod for emergencies. m..oΓg
The only difference was that their spaceship used air as its kinetic energy, making it more fuel-efficient than Casa’s spaceship.
Yu’er learned these things easily.
Which button controlled which function, and how to operate it.
After Xi Youli explained it once, Yu’er was already operating it like a seasoned pilot.
“A genius,” Xi Youli praised.
“Of course, she’s my wife,” Guo Xuyang said proudly.
“She’s very beautiful, just a bit short,” Xi Youli commented.
“You’re quite tall, besides wasting fabric, what other advantages do you have?” Guo Xuyang retorted.
“Fabric? What is that?”
“It’s what I’m wearing.”
“This doesn’t look as good as the clothes we have.”
“What are you wearing? All those colorful patterns.”
“You wouldn’t understand this.
Our clothes can effectively shield us from radiation in space.
And they can provide us with the nutrients we need.”
“That’s amazing? What are they made of?”
Guo Xuyang curiously reached out to touch it.
As he touched the clothes, Xi Youli’s clothes suddenly changed to the same color as his skin.
“Whoa, they can change color?” Guo Xuyang was stunned.
“What’s going on?”
“This is a characteristic of our clothes. What do you think? Better than yours, right?”
“It’s indeed good. Why didn’t I notice it last time?
If I had known earlier, I would have brought back a few more.”
“These clothes are all custom-made.
Not just anyone can wear them.”
“So this is a product of high technology?”
“My mother specially ordered these for me.
When can you let me go back? I miss my mother.”
“We’ll talk about it after you’ve taught everyone.
Who told you to sneak away with me?”
“I was just curious.”
“Curiosity killed the cat, you know? Fortunately, you met me.
If you had been caught by those people, you would have suffered.”
“Where is ‘those people’? Can I meet her?”
“After you teach these people, and take them for a few aerial trips, I’ll take you to find ‘those people’.”
“I’ll teach them, can’t you take me now?”
“No.” Guo Xuyang flatly refused Xi Youli’s request.
“Then I won’t teach them,” Xi Youli said.
“Fine. I’ll send you back right now.”
“How can you be like this?”
“There’s no other way. I haven’t learned how to control this spaceship yet.
If you take us back to your planet, what will I do?”
“Is there no trust between us at all?”
“There is. But I have to be responsible for my friends’ safety,” Guo Xuyang said.
Seeing that Guo Xuyang was resolute, Xi Youli could only roll his eyes helplessly.
