Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 205 Screw Gum

Xing got the fried rice that Alan made from Alan.

Alan hesitated for a long time about what to give as a gift. After thinking it over, he decided that it would be most appropriate to give something he was good at, as Estella also liked to eat it.

However, the surrounding environment was a bit noisy; I was originally planning to find a quiet place to listen to the reviews...

Miss Estelle had intended to express her gratitude sincerely, but it turned out to be so rushed.

Alan was a little disappointed.

Xing quickly comforted him, "It's okay, that's good. I can bring it back to the train and share it with my friends. By the way, are any guests coming to the space station today?"

Alan nodded: "Yes, a very important person suddenly asked to visit the space station. We were all a bit rushed and worried that if we didn't treat him well, it would damage the image of Ms. Black Tower."

"Miss Estelle said that this guest seems to be Lady Black Tower's academic partner. To be able to associate with her, he must be a very important figure in the galaxy."

The Black Tower only has a handful of academic partners, so their request to visit the space station today must mean they have something urgent to attend to.

Yunzhi, not far away, leaned against the wall, looking towards the gate.

I have a feeling that someone else has entered this space station, but I hope it's just my imagination.

Seeing that Xing had already walked over, Yunzhi straightened up.

"Would you like to go take a look?"

He didn't care, but he didn't know if Xing wanted to go.

Xing was indeed very curious: "I want to go and see."

Alan suggested that they could go with the main group to take a look first.

She was very curious about Black Tower's academic partners.

"Then let's go."

Let's go join in the fun, and we can go see the Black Tower together later.

After taking the elevator, we arrived at the long corridor of the space station, where many researchers had already gathered.

But everyone seemed completely confused, not knowing who they were about to meet.

The room at the end of the corridor has an elevator leading to the outside.

Soon, the stationmaster, Estella, also appeared there.

Yun sat lazily to one side, watching the elevator across the street move.

—The more people there are, the more capabilities there are. I hope the person who comes can help him with the matter of the Fourth Divine Key.

When Estáe saw Yunzhi, she only had time to nod and greet him.

Because the guests have already arrived.

A soft voice came from Estella: "Ready?"

The guests have arrived.

The elevator came to a stop with a very soft "click".

Then, the door slid open from both sides.

A small, bluish-green butterfly flew out.

Yun Zhi raised her hand, letting it fall into her palm.

The little butterfly stopped flapping its wings and lay obediently in the cloud's hand.

The passengers in the elevator then exited.

"It is assumed that thought always precedes language."

A very gentle and gentlemanly voice came out.

Estella led the researchers in bowing respectfully. Xing was still somewhat dazed, but Alan nudged her with his elbow, forcing her to lower her head.

In their eyes, this AI was indeed an extraordinary figure.

Yun slightly raised her hand, letting the butterfly fly back to its owner's side.

His master, the Omnic Leader Screwgoom, also raised his hand, letting the butterfly return to his own.

"There are no words to define this joy."

Screwgoom looked at the people in front of him: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Estádio."

His eyes turned to Yun Zhi, who was still behind everyone else: "It's an honor to meet you, True Lord."

"It's my honor."

Yun said with a polite smile.

As fellow envoys, we should respect each other.

Screwgoom nodded and looked at Estelle again:

"Sorry, we arrived 4 minutes and 13 seconds earlier than scheduled. I hope this didn't cause you any inconvenience."

Xing was a little surprised—was it that precise?

Intelligent machines are indeed very precise.

Estelle, of course, wouldn't mind: "How could that be? Mr. Screwgoom, welcome to the Black Tower Space Station."

"No need to be so formal, Estelle. Just use 'you.' The 'Black Tower' is a place where knowledge converges, and here we celebrate the equality of ideas."

Screwgoom was very gentle and gentlemanly: "The collaboration of organic life is wonderful and efficient. The speed at which you rebuilt the space station far exceeded my predictions."

Estelle's eyes sparkled: "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Screwgoom. Would you like me to show you around? Since the last summit, we've launched several new research projects based on silicon-based matrices."

Screw Gum politely declined: "Emotionally, I gladly accept, but after all, I have a prior agreement with the Black Tower, so please wait a little longer for these surprises."

Estelle wasn't disappointed: "Ms. Black Tower should be in her office. Please come this way, I'll show you the way."

Screw Gum nodded slightly and then turned to the other side.

Yun Zhi understood; he was looking at the stars.

The existence of a life form that can coexist with a star's core is bound to pique the curiosity of these scholars.

So, ScrewGumm started the conversation:

"And this is...?"

Xing blinked, then happily put her hands on her hips: "Hey, guess!"

Alan and several staff members next to her were completely stunned for a second.

"Feed..." Alan tried to stop him.

Yun Zhi stepped forward at some point, patted Xing on the shoulder, and looked at Luo Sigumu: "This is an unnamed passenger from the Starry Sky Train. Xing, don't mind her. This girl has always been a bit unreliable."

Xing: ...Dad, don't expose my shortcomings.

Screw Gum laughed: "What an unexpected reaction. The Black Tower always talks about you; she's very curious about you, and so am I. What's it like to coexist with a star core? I hope we'll have enough time to get to know each other and find the answer to this question."

Xing looked at Screw Gum.

—Mom, he's so gentle.

"I originally came to see Ms. Black Tower today, and since you're here too, would you like to come along?"

Yun looked at Screw Gum.

Screw Gumu naturally wouldn't refuse: "It's rare for True Lord to meet with us, so I suppose you must have some interesting ideas. It's my honor to be able to share these sparks of thought with you."

"Let's go then."

Yun Zhi raised his hand and waved it: "However, that's not my idea; it's technology from a distant world in my memory."

"I hope we can all get the answers we want."

So, Star Boy.

You stay here for now, and wait for your aunt to come and play hide-and-seek with you.
