Chapter 1, Silver Leopard
Lao Gao approached the control panel, quickly pressed the keyboard, and simultaneously said: "Analyzing... planetary composition... main components..."
The entire spacecraft has eighteen layers of high-energy protection, which is six layers more than its prototype, the "Medium Mecha Attack Ship," and is approaching the level of a heavy mecha ship, which has only twenty-one layers of high-energy protection.
He said loudly: "Grandma, what is it?"
Due to the advent of evolutionary agents, humans generally marry around the age of forty, and the age for having children is even later, resulting in children having their own jobs.
Thus, the spaceship had four mischievous grandsons. What the old man felt regretful about was that none of his four children had given birth to a girl
Lin Qiyong, the grandson of Da Sunzi, is twenty-eight years old and an outstanding pilot of small combat mecha. He has evolved to the third level, allowing him to walk briefly in space without protection. He is extremely agile and has a generous and enthusiastic personality
Lynch Yu cried out: "Three... Brother... Wah ya ya! Energy gun? That kind of gun is only good for shooting little sparrows, it's so lame, Brother Three... Good Brother Three..."
Lynch Yu finally uttered the last word in his mouth, "Bang": "... ... No way! Hehe, I will quietly go by myself... ..."
Lynch Yu said: "Third brother is the best, third brother... third brother, hehe, third brother, please help me..."
Multifunctional long boots, the main functions are to accelerate running, as well as to enhance jumping ability and grip. In simple terms, they are excellent for escaping.
Lin Junbao smiled and said, "Yuer, come here to Grandpa."
Ke Zhenfeng knew that last time he was sent back because of his grandfather's words, "Yuer has not yet evolved and cannot adapt to the environment of this planet," and he had been brooding over it ever since
The old gentleman was so delighted to see this ship that he couldn't close his mouth for three days. It wasn't that he intended to use this bizarre spacecraft to attack anyone; rather, he felt as if he were still in the military, still commanding his beloved mecha fleet
Lynch Yong exclaimed: "Grandfather, are you making me wash the cabin again? No way! I didn't say anything just now."
Lynch Yong complained, "Grandfather, we have already run through seven or eight nameless planets, what exactly is Grandmother looking for?"
Everyone had not yet spoken when Lin Qiyu shouted, "Yay! Finally, we can go play! Grandpa, Grandma, I will go organize my gear; this time, I must go.
Lin Junbao said: "Alright, go ahead and start it!"
Ke Zhenfeng asked curiously: "Why? Did your grandmother speak on your behalf?"
Grandfather smiled and said, "Wenwen, be careful. If anything happens, notify me immediately. Lao Cui, have you prepared all the weapons?"
Ke Zhenfeng began to place the equipment one by one into a large box, including high-performance lightweight armored protective clothing, which possesses extremely high impact resistance
The second grandson, Lin Qimeng, is twenty-five years old, with a robust physique and a penchant for combat. He has also evolved to the third level; however, unlike others, he has entered the ranks of super-evolvers, being a primary awakener, commonly referred to as an Earth Awakener. He is usually taciturn, and in terms of individual combat capability, he is unparalleled aboard the spaceship
Lynch Yu exclaimed: "Pah! Pah! You have the mouth of a crow! This time I will definitely be able to go! Do you know why?"
If this knife is activated, its oscillating edge can sweep up to 2 meters away, which is quite formidable
At that time, Lin Junbao was a special advisor to the military tribunal. He discovered some irregularities and ensured his survival. Later, after he became the commander of the Mecha Corps, he appointed him to serve on his mecha flagship.
Grandma smiled and said, "This is a good child, just like this." The screen flickered and turned off
Lynch raised one hand, clenched his fist, and said, "Next time, I will definitely win"
He forcefully bumped his head against the sofa, and suddenly, he jumped up and said: "Grandma, you all must be careful, Rain will definitely wait obediently for you..."
It is a knife that is one foot long, featuring a silver blade and a black handle. The handle is wrapped with extremely fine, strong synthetic fibers, woven into a beautiful pattern. If needed, it can be unraveled and used as a rope, capable of supporting the weight of an adult male.
Lin Qiyu, unwilling to accept that he had not yet evolved, always teamed up with Ke Zhenfeng to create various small devices in an attempt to compete with several older brothers. Over the years, these two little fellows have produced quite a number of peculiar gadgets.
Lynch Yu said with a beaming smile, "Thank you, big brother!" He thought to himself, "Hmph, how dare they bully me for not evolving, making sarcastic remarks! I won't be obedient at all; when the time comes, I'll make all of you jump in surprise, haha"
Ke Zhenfeng's chubby face was all scrunched up: "Yudi, are you going on an adventure or going to war? With so many weapons and equipment for you, the little troublemaker, wouldn't my grandparents skin me alive! These cannot be given; at most, I can give you an energy gun. I can provide you with the best protective suit and the best helmet scanner. Is that alright? Fine, I'll also give you the multifunctional boots!"
They are aware that the old gentleman wishes to embark on interstellar exploration. It is important to note that many unknowns will be encountered during interstellar travel. With this equipment, it is equivalent to having an additional layer of insurance
Lin Junbao said: "I have already called her, she might be with Yuer." He pressed the call button again: "Wenwen, are you coming to take a look?"
Lynch Yu reluctantly gazed at the kinetic gun and said, "Thank you, Third Brother, I will head back now"
Lynch Yu said triumphantly: "Not at all, my grandmother wouldn't help me with this... because this planet has oxygen and life, and it was newly discovered by my grandfather and the others. This means they can't use the excuse that I haven't evolved yet to stop me. How exciting is that, haha, I'm so happy!"
"Gong la la!" The metal wall trembled slightly and slowly slid open, revealing the fluorescent lights inside that automatically illuminated.
Lynch said with a smirk: "We are now entering the circular orbit, starting the countdown, with four hours and eighteen minutes remaining"
Everyone knows that Cui Zhiyuan was previously a maintenance worker for mecha ships. On one occasion, he warned his colleagues after witnessing them selling parts privately, but as a result, he was framed by his colleagues and brought before a military court
Grandma smiled gently and said, "Rain, be good. In a little while, Grandma will go down to investigate. You must behave well on the spaceship and not be naughty, do you understand?"
A woman with a head full of white hair, yet her figure resembles that of a woman in her thirties, walked through the hatch. She is the mistress of this spaceship, Zhong Beiwen, followed closely by a young boy, who is none other than the youngest grandson, Lin Qiyu, cherished by the elderly couple.
Lin Junbao patted Lin Qiyu on the shoulder and said: "Yuer, it's time to go back. The spaceship will remain in orbit for a while, and you need to make the most of your time to study. Grandpa has gone to the cockpit." He turned and left first
Old Gao hurriedly walked in, and Lin Qiyong said: "Hello, Uncle Gao"
Grandma smiled and said, "Rain, if Grandpa asks you to go..."
He laughed and said, "Xiao Yong, when shall we compete again?"
This spacecraft contains a peculiar combination
Lynch Yu looked enviously at them as they disappeared at the entrance of the passage
Lynch Yu ran wildly along the left corridor, heading straight for Hangar No. 1, which is the chamber where the individual combat mechs are stationed
The small landing craft soared out of the passage like a rocket, causing the Silver Leopard exploration spacecraft to tremble gently
He pushed open the hatch and shouted, "Third Brother! Third Brother! Where are you? Come out quickly!"
He quickly entered a long string of numbers and casually pressed the confirm key
Cui Zhiyuan is a simple and stubborn person. From that moment on, he vowed to follow the commander for a lifetime. After Lin Junbao retired, he was the first to seek him out.
The name of the spaceship is Silver Leopard. Onboard, in addition to the elderly couple and their four grandchildren, there are five crew members, all of whom are subordinates of the old gentleman. After retiring, they did not wish to go elsewhere and instead sought refuge with their former superior.
"Junbao, stop calling, I am here... Oh dear, Yuer, what are you doing? I must tell you that you cannot inject the evolution agent yet. Be good, Yuer! Listen to your grandmother, you can only use the evolution agent when you turn eighteen, not now"
Lin Junbao exclaimed, "Oh, the oxygen content is so high, and there are components of water. Hmm, signs of life... This planet is quite strange; a planet with life has not been developed. Wenwen, should we descend and investigate?"
Lao Gao is a close friend of Lin Junbao, having served as the assault squad leader in the Special Mecha Assault Corps. His name is Gao Liansheng. Due to sustaining serious injuries, he became a special-grade disabled veteran and retired early.
After scanning the area, it was discovered that Ke Zhenfeng was not among them. He stealthily approached the top of the cabin and opened a small metal cover, revealing a small password machine inside. He skillfully pressed the keys on the keyboard, and with a "clang!" the hatch on the ground opened.
Lin Junbao smiled and said, "Yong'er, do not mock your younger brother. If Yu'er begins to evolve, you several brothers may not be able to compete with him."
At the thought of his triumph, he chuckled softly, as if victory was already assured.
Before long, the female voice in the computer began to speak
Although Lin Qiyu was not satisfied, he also knew that Third Brother would not agree to him. He rolled his eyes and smiled, saying: "Hehe, thank you Third Brother, but I expect the best for everything else."
Lynch Yuxin said: "No problem? That's a joke!"
He felt very unconvinced in his heart, thinking that it must have been Uncle Gao deliberately being modest
At the protective handgrip at the upper end, there is an induction switch that, through the setting of recognition signals, allows only the holder to activate the high-speed oscillation
Seeing Lin Qiyu's eyes shining with excitement, Ke Zhenfeng truly did not want to dampen his spirits, so he could only say: "Alright! It's still the same set of equipment as last time."
Lao San is the grandson, Ke Zhenfeng is nineteen years old, with a passion for mechanical electronics and weapon manufacturing, earning the title of "Weapon Prodigy", having evolved one level.
The hatch cover flipped up from the ground, revealing a head poking out from below, with a chubby round face covered in grease and dirt
Please evacuate the launch corridor, countdown to launch...
Lynch Yu, appearing as a well-behaved child, said: "Take care, Grandma! Goodbye!" He waved his hand.
Gao Liansheng understood the old commander's meaning well and smiled slightly, saying: "Indeed, there is no need for Sister-in-law to feel regret. These children are all outstanding, and Yu'er is particularly remarkable. The last time I engaged in a simulated confrontation with him, I almost got defeated by him; he is even more formidable than Yong'er."
Linqiyu called out: "Hello, Grandpa, hello, Uncle Gao, big brother, when will you let me drive once? Driving on the simulator all the time is too boring; playing with the real thing is much more exciting."
Lynch Yong laughed and said: "Grandpa, every time I hear you call Grandma... heh heh, Yong'er just can't stand it."
Upon entering the cabin door, he raised his hand and threw the box onto his large bed.
It is a black circular headband, two fingers wide, which can be fastened at the back of the head. On each side, there is a small dot, which can be pulled out from both sides and pressed tightly against the eyebrows when in use, allowing for focused attention.
Ke Zhenfeng can be regarded as a genius in manufacturing, a remarkable figure in assembling machines. No matter what item comes into his hands, he is always able to modify it in an astonishing manner
Lynch Yu turned her energetic big eyes, displaying a flattering demeanor: "Third Brother! Please bring me the kinetic gun we modified last time, the one that can be launched at high speed..."
Zhong Beiwen carefully examined the star map and questioned, "This planet is quite strange; let's analyze its composition."
Lin Junbao laughed and scolded, "You little rascal! You are asking for a beating again. Later, I will punish you to clean the No. 2 cabin... You even dare to make fun of your grandfather!"
He is very close to Lin Qiyu and has made many peculiar items for him. When Lin Qiyu heard about the expedition to the planet, the first thing he thought of was to ask Ke Zhenfeng to prepare the supplies
Lynch Yu was still in a daze, but suddenly he came to his senses, snapped his fingers with a "pop," turned around, and rushed back to his cabin. He ran to the bedside, opened the lightweight metal box, and grabbed the helmet scanner.
The Silver Leopard Exploration Spaceship was gifted to Old Master Lin by a group of old comrades after his retirement. They refurbished a decommissioned medium-sized mech attack ship, completely overhauling it and equipping it with numerous military-grade weaponry and equipment.
After modification, this spacecraft can be piloted by just two people, and it can also navigate automatically, making it much easier to operate than military mecha ships. However, once the weapon system is activated, it requires at least five people to operate. Although it can attack automatically, the effectiveness is not as good as when there are operators in control
Linqiyu is only 165 centimeters tall, with a gentle face shape somewhat resembling that of his grandmother, lively eyes, and a slender figure. Due to the absence of injected enhancers, it is still unclear what he will develop into in the future
Without waiting for a response, he dashed out of the driver's cabin door and ran off to find Ke Zhenfeng
Lin Junbao pointed to a yellowish-brown planet on the port side and said, "Why is this planet not marked on the star chart?"
Ke Zhenfeng ignored him, walked to the metal wall, and kicked a section of the wall at the bottom. With a loud "bang," a panel flipped down from the upper part of the metal wall, revealing a numeric keypad.
He is a master of tactics, having once evolved to level 12, but after being injured, he regressed to level 7
Grandmother said that when the day comes that you can no longer tolerate it, you should clean it up by yourself
In the year 3892 AD, an exploratory spacecraft was flying through the vast starry sky
Lynch Yu said with a grimace, "Third Brother, then give me another weapon, I don't want the energy gun, please Third Brother! Third Brother!"
This is Ke Zhenfeng's masterpiece, which is hardly seen in the market
Lynch Yu quickly ran to the hatch, grasped the edge of the hatch, and agilely slipped down.
Ke Zhenfeng's small eyes immediately widened in disbelief: "You little rascal, what mischief are you up to again?"
Lynch Yu exclaimed, "Third Brother, we are about to embark on an adventure to an unnamed planet. Please help me prepare... Finally, I can go have some fun, haha, I am so happy. Are you going, Third Brother?"
Lin Junbao pressed a button on the armrest and said, "Lao Gao, come here for a moment..." After a moment's thought, he pressed another button and said, "Wenwen, I have discovered an unknown planet, would you like to come?" The tenderness in his tone made it hard to believe that these words were spoken by a centenarian.
Ke Zhenfeng looked at him with a skeptical gaze and said, "Yudi, did your grandfather agree to let you go? Don't let it be another false hope. Last time, I prepared for you for half a day, and in the end, you just walked around the deck and came back..."
He secretly glanced at the expression on San Ge's face and continued: "And that high-performance, retractable rapid oscillating knife, as well as those small, finger-sized super automatic guided missiles..."
Lin Junbao smiled and said: "With me watching over Yu'er, there will be no problem. You can rest assured and go ahead."
His room is the largest among all the brothers, and it is also the messiest. Grandma once said that even a doghouse is cleaner than his. After tidying it up for him a few times, Grandma never came to his room again; whenever there was something to discuss, she would call him out using the communicator.
What Lynch Yu likes the most in this is the high-performance oscillating knife that can be extended and retracted
The elderly couple has a total of three sons and one daughter, yet none of them are by their side
The biggest feature of this protective suit is its biomimetic chameleon skin function. As long as the command is activated, its outer layer can mimic the surrounding colors and also evade enemy scans.
Cui Zhiyuan said loudly: "Report, Commander, all preparations are complete, please give your instructions"
He thought to himself: Although this type of knife is powerful, it is a close combat weapon, unlike kinetic guns that can attack distant targets and have greater defensive capabilities. Even if my grandparents find it, it can be easily explained.
He is the only person on the spaceship who has not been injected with the evolution agent and is the key protected object of the entire ship. He is also a master of the Federal Virtual Network and is skilled in cracking various passwords.
Lin Junbao proudly stroked his beard and winked at Gao Liansheng, who was on a winning streak.
Grandmother, eleven years younger than grandfather, is 101 years old this year. She is a renowned scientist in the field of human evolution and a first-level academician at the Institute of Human Technological Evolution. Her name is Zhong Beimin and she has evolved to the ninth level. Her greatest wish is to raise her third-generation grandchildren into adults and explore the interstellar space with her spouse, searching for the unnamed planet where the miraculous evolution agent was once discovered.
Zhong Beimin said, "Jun Bao, what have you turned the children into? They are always fighting and killing, not a single one is quiet. I think Feng Er is the most honest, always tinkering with various devices in his room... Sigh, none of these children like the profession Grandma studied. I am the last of my line."
Old Master Lin Junbao sat in the command cabin of the spaceship, leisurely sipping his cloud mist tea. The one in charge of piloting was his eldest grandson, Lin Qiyong.
Suddenly, there was a flash on the wall, and grandma's image appeared on the display screen on the wall, saying "Yuer..."
Linyu Lin fell headfirst into the sofa, pulling her hair hard and screaming through her teeth, "Grandpa will never agree! Wah! My adventure is ruined again..."
This is a cargo hold of approximately fifteen square meters. It used to be a place where spare parts for mecha ships were stored. Ke Zhenfeng has transformed it into his private workshop and storage room.
Additionally, there are some small items like a breathing mouthguard, which is specially designed for Lin Chiyu to extract oxygen from complex gases. There is also a palm-sized water kettle that can absorb water molecules from the air, so there is no need to worry about finding a water source with this item. There are many similar small items like these.
Countdown starts for one minute... Forty-eight... Forty-seven... The gate opens, twenty-one... Ten, nine, eight... Three, two, one, launch!
Ah! Yong'er, look over there, this planet doesn't seem to be on the star map!
The scanning helmet is another good item. Ke Zhenfeng has installed seven scanning modes on it. According to him, with this device, one can even see the color of a girl's underwear, which is quite perverse
Lin Junbao held Lin Qiyu's hand and retreated into the isolation chamber, opening the communicator and saying: "Lao Gao, you take command"
With his words, a translucent glass-like display on the side showed strings of light green numbers jumping upwards.
Ke Zhenfeng packed things in a light metal box, pushed it into Lin Qiyu's arms, and said, "These are all for you. You don't need to return them next time, so you don't have to keep coming to ask. However, the shock knife must be returned, do you understand? I still have something unfinished, so you should go back first."
高连胜 narrowed his eyes, looked carefully, then turned to check the interstellar map. After a while, he said, "Yes, this is a new one. Should we explore it or invite Madam to come?"
The volume of this spacecraft is twice that of a typical civilian exploration vessel, which, in the eyes of amateur adventurers, makes this spacecraft somewhat extraordinary
Grandfather, born in the year 3780 AD, is currently 112 years old. He is a professional soldier and retired as a Lieutenant General at the age of 100. He was the former commander of the Special Mech Assault Corps, named Lin Junbao. In the mech unit, he has a nickname called "Silver Panther". He has evolved to the eleventh level, and his greatest wish is to embark on interstellar exploration after retirement.
Gao Liansheng smiled and said, "The little guy is anxious, but Yuer still can't go down first. Let's understand the situation before making a decision."
Lin Qiyong smiled and said, "Yu Di, big brother will take you out after you evolve. Behave yourself, haha, goodbye." He also went into the cabin.
Lynch Yu exclaimed anxiously, "Grandma, why won't you let me go again... I want to go!"
The most outrageous thing is that two particle beam cannons are installed on each side of the spaceship, and there is also a high-power laser cannon at the bow of the ship, as well as various missiles hidden under the armor.
Ke Zhenfeng's head was all wrapped up, so he had no choice but to say: "Alright! Alright! I will quickly bring you the vibrating knife, but you must promise me not to let your grandparents see it, okay?"
Linyu Lin collapsed on the sofa, feeling a strange smell hit his nose. He sneezed and realized it was a stinky sock. He was too lazy to even throw it away, so he just turned over and lay on his back, still thinking about the kinetic gun: "Hmph, you won't give it to me even if I ask nicely. Looks like I'll have to use extreme measures. Well, how about this..."
The youngest, Sun Zilin Qiyu, is only 16 years old. He is his grandmother's treasure, a mischievous little rascal, bold and silly, daring to touch and try anything. He is the joy of the spaceship and is closest to Ke Zhenfeng
There is only one laboratory inside, which is exclusively for Grandma Zhong Beiwen, while there are five weapon storage rooms, all of which are specialized compartments. One of these compartments is as large as over 200 square meters, housing twelve of the latest model of individual combat mechs.
He only heard him say: "Rain Brother, what are you calling for in such a hurry? Come down here!" His head shrank back in again
Lin Junbao smiled and said, "I don't know what your grandmother is looking for, it's so mysterious. Why don't you ask her yourself?" after taking a sip of tea.
Due to the box being too large, it obstructed Lin Qiyu's line of sight, causing him to stumble his way back to his cabin.
Zhong Beiwen walked to the cabin door, seemingly a bit uneasy, and reminded, "Yuer, be good, Grandma will come back to play with you."
Lynch Yu was so frightened that he jumped up from the sofa, muttering softly, "Hey, that scared me to death."
He put on the scanning helmet and stared at Ke Zhenfeng's processing room
He is not only bold and mischievous, but also the most adept at flattering among the four children
Pāng dāng!
Cui Zhiyuan saluted and turned to enter the cabin.
Ke Zhenfeng pressed down firmly and said, "Yudi, it's not that Third Brother is unwilling to give it to you; this gun is so powerful that even those who have evolved to the sixth level cannot withstand it. It would be too dangerous to give it to you."
He picked up the lightweight metal box and walked away.
Carrying a scanning helmet, Lin Qiyu quietly ran to Hangar No. 1 and hid in the corner.
Lin Qiyong smiled and said, "If Xiaoyu hears Uncle Gao say this, she will go crazy."
The old man knew it was impossible for the children to explore with him, so he asked them to send the third generation to the spaceship, claiming that it was to "give full play to their potential and let their children work in peace".
Lin Qi Yu knew that this was San Ge's precious storage room. He rushed in and reached out to grab the kinetic gun on the shelf.
Linyu Qiao stood obediently by the small landing craft, smiling and bidding farewell to her grandmother, older brother, second brother, and Uncle Cui Zhiyuan. Everyone felt very surprised that Little Yu'er was so well-behaved this time.
