Schrödinger of the Cat [Interstellar]

This is an uncommon ultra-small light armored spacecraft, or it can be called a private warship, which is extremely petite among the huge deep space spacecraft.The spaceship has only four bedrooms and can accommodate up to eight passengers, including the crew.But although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, the reason why this spaceship can be called a private warship is because it is also equipped with light armor and firepower, which is a must-have vehicle for important people to travel safely.

Xue Yi's first interstellar voyage has been going on for 24 days, and he has not experienced any wormholes or space folding, nor has he encountered various visions that break through the light barrier in legends, nor have he encountered interstellar pirates that often appear in science fiction novels.The journey so far seems a little too dull, the scenery outside the window is an unchanging starry sky, and even the way to calculate the number of days is realized by the timer.

The people he can contact are only limited to three, plus a cat.

Yes, there are only three humans on this small spaceship, and one of them is the somewhat nervous girl Xue Yi met when he first arrived here, named Vey, she still spares no effort to teach Xue Yi to recognize cards and watch educational cartoons.

The second human being that Xue Yi saw was also a woman, named Ke Ke. Her image was more in line with Xue Yi's most traditional perception of girls. Her soft, light brown hair was gently draped behind her back, and she spoke softly. The food on the table is basically cooked by her hands.Except for the same inability to distinguish between cats and humans, Coco seems to be normal in all aspects.

The third person is Amin, who is even weirder than a neurotic girl, and Xue Yi can't tell her gender.The golden head and sharp facial bones matched with the soft voice, somewhat confused his judgment.Amin has been wearing a pair of light armor of invisible material for a long time, so he is even more indistinguishable from male and female.

What these three humans have in common though is that they are all cat slaves—literally cat slaves.

Xue Yi didn't know the origin of that black Maine Coon cat, but its status on this spaceship was unparalleled.No one will stop it wherever it wants to go, including the cockpit and the central control room, which are restricted areas for Xue Yi; High-quality black tea in an exquisite teacup; Amin would show it his light screen to play with, sometimes he was too lazy to look at it, and Amin would read the documents on it to it, and he was sicker than the other two.

The most important thing is that the name given to the big black cat by these three humans is "Your Highness" - Xue Yi only learned the true meaning of this pronunciation yesterday.Your Highness, this is much more domineering than his original "general".

Of course, His Highness's status is higher, and as its "new favorite", Xue Yi also received a lot of preferential treatment on this spaceship.Except for the cockpit and the central control room, he can go anywhere else unimpeded, including the data room that he needs most right now.

Although Xue Yi couldn't understand Vey's nervousness, the girl's insistence on teaching a cat to read was like a timely rain to him.Perhaps it is because the logical ability of adults has entered the brain of a kitten that is in the learning period. Xue Yi's learning progress in the characters of the other world is amazing. He can remember all the letters and words in his memory. In a few days, he was able to understand teaching cartoons with simple dialogues.

But now Xue Yi found a more suitable learning method for him, that is the database terminal in the reference room.

This world uses phonetic writing, similar to Earth's Latin language, with a total of 33 letters, plus four phonetic symbols.The complex letters and phonetic transcriptions make the pronunciation of this language very regular, with almost no exceptions. As long as you learn the pronunciation rules, you can pronounce words completely and correctly even if the whole text is full of unfamiliar words.Conversely, as long as you hear a word, you can spell it completely correctly even if you don't understand its meaning.Therefore, now Xue Yi can use the database terminal to look up any words he has heard from human mouths at will.

The database terminal is a bulky computer compared to the common tablets nowadays. It is square like a box, filled with data chips, and one side is a display screen.This terminal is rare to have a physical keyboard, instead of using voice and light screen to input information, which provides a lot of convenience for Xue Yi's kitten body.The amount of data in the terminal is extremely large, and it will explain words by various means such as text, pictures, voice, and video. The intuitive concept expression is very suitable for language beginners.

Fumbling into the reference room with ease, and jumping onto the desk, Xue Yi saw that the interface displayed on the terminal had been returned to the search bar by someone, so he simply entered the unfamiliar words he was interested in today.Relying on his super-strong memory, he looked up a few words: Frontline, Star Kerr, Ghost...Ghost?He seems to have heard this word somewhere before.

Recalling the details of Da Lihua taking him to escape dozens of days ago, Xue Yi thought of the black triangular aircraft chasing after them. Those guys seemed to be called ghosts or something by Da Lihua.

Xue Yi looked at the pictures and videos displayed on the screen, and tried hard to extract the words he knew from the text descriptions.

Someone opened the door and came in. Xue Yi turned around and saw that it was His Highness, so he continued to study this so-called ghost.His Highness jumped onto the table next to him, sat down gracefully as always, and watched the video recording being shown on the screen with great interest.Its emotions are now full of curiosity and exploration, and yes, as a cat, it is probably curious all the time when facing unfamiliar things.

Xue Yi had no intention of hiding anything in front of a cat, and it was almost time for dinner, so he had to hurry up.He compared the new words he found layer by layer, and finally figured out what a ghost is.

"The so-called ghosts are actually a kind of alien high-level intelligent life forms. They are tangible but intangible. They can be seen but cannot be touched. Ghosts can parasitize any living body, and the parasitic living body will be on the spiritual level. At death, the body is driven by the ghost. After the body reaches its lifespan and dies, the ghost will pull itself out to find the next parasite. The only way to kill a ghost is to annihilate it, and to kill a ghost that has already parasitized in a living body, you need to Destroyed by parasites at the same time."

"The ghost group may have devoured a certain Zerg group before. The shell of this type of Zerg is extremely thick, and a large amount of gas is stored in the body, which can fly in space. Therefore, the ghosts began to use their bodies to attack the empire. People do not know why the ghosts have such The strong desire to attack can only be guessed to be related to their reproduction method."

"Nowadays, the war between the ghost and the empire has lasted for hundreds of years. The empire has been retreating steadily and has fallen into several star galaxies. At present, it can only survive by hiding the entire army in the origin galaxy."

Xue Yi stared at the screen in a daze. Judging from the information, the empire was not peaceful.In fact, he should have expected this unrest from the time he was taken away by the raccoon cat.

Recalling what happened that day, Xue Yi suddenly realized that the man in black who was chasing after him on a motorcycle had probably been parasitized by a ghost.The territory of the empire has been swallowed up by ghosts, and it seems that it should not be a new thing for ghosts to parasitize human beings, so it is only natural that they have drones in their hands. Even if ghosts come out with a battleship one day, they will not let Xue Yi surprised.

Thinking about it carefully, Xue Yi felt a little more relaxed—since the empire is still in a safe place and has not been scattered from the inside by the ghosts, it means that the empire has at least one effective way to distinguish between normal humans and parasites.

Ke Ke's voice called everyone outside the house to have dinner, Xue Yi then looked away from the screen.He saw His Highness standing up slowly from the sofa next to him, and yawned. There was an information tablet reclined under its feet, which was probably used as a sleeping mat.Seeing Xue Yi looking at it, His Highness shook his hair, jumped over with one step, picked up the cub's neck, jumped off the desk, and ran briskly out of the reference room.

Today's dinner is steak as usual, with green peas.This seems to be a combination that His Highness likes very much, so it is the same for three meals a day, both for humans and cats.Xue Yi was very suspicious that the food reserves on this spaceship were all steaks and green beans. Looking at the finely diced beef in front of him, he felt a little hard to eat.

No matter how high-quality ingredients have been eaten for nearly a month, it will be difficult for anyone to eat.Full of resentment, he looked up at Ke Ke, who was in charge of cooking, and then at His Highness, who seemed to be eating steak all the time, feeling a little desperate.

His Highness suddenly raised his head, as if he had received the cub's resentment, then it silently glanced at Ke Ke.Ke Ke also raised her head, looked at His Highness, then at Xue Yi, and finally got up and turned into the kitchen.After a while, she came out with a box of canned fish and a glass of juice, and replaced the beef plate in front of Xue Yi.

Canned fish, the smell makes people move their index fingers!Coco girl is too careful, she is a model cat slave!Xue Yi couldn't wait to bury his head in his mouth, and was in such a good mood that he didn't realize that he instinctively began to make a snoring sound.

"Hey, eat slowly, don't choke." Coco reminded nervously, pushing the juice closer to the kitten.

Xue Yi smacked the long-lost taste of fish in his mouth, feeling extremely happy.It didn't care about drinking any juice, but ate up the can quickly, and concentrated on licking all the minced meat in the corners.I don't know when the next time I can eat canned fish, he can't waste it.The canned soup stuck to his chin and beard, Xue Yi didn't bother to care about it, thinking that he would wipe it off with some paper towels when he got back to his room.

The field of vision was suddenly occupied by a mass of black hair, and then there was a warm feeling on Xue Yi's chin. After he reacted, he realized that it was His Highness who came over to lick the soup from his mouth.Xue Yi looked at the canned fish in front of him that he had already eaten, and thought that His Highness didn't never tire of eating beef, and he also liked fish very much, so can he eat canned fish a few more times in the future?

His Highness's movements froze for a moment, with a bit of annoyance in his emotions, probably because he felt that his actions were disrespectful, so he turned around and sat down at the front of his dinner plate, lowering his head and thinking about something.Ke Ke took a look at His Highness, pulled some paper towels, helped Xue Yi wipe off the soup around his mouth, tilted the cup containing the juice slightly, and carefully fed the cub.

Seeing that the cub was well taken care of, His Highness got up, took Xue Yi in his mouth very naturally and went back to the bedroom, jumped on the bed and wrapped his tail around the palm-sized cub, squinted his eyes and went to sleep.

Xue Yiwo was dumbfounded in the big cat's arms, he wasn't sleepy yet, and wanted to go to the reference room to find out more about ghosts... But forget it, since he is a cat now, there is no need to care about current affairs so much Ah war or something.Changing to a comfortable position and lying down, Xue Yi began to be in a daze aimlessly, his eyes moved to His Highness's fluffy tail, watching its soft hair tremble slightly with breathing.

He has always preferred long-haired cats. Although they are a bit difficult to take care of, their fur is really soft to the touch. Burying your face in it can make people's hearts melt... I don't know if he is still a cat now. Can you feel that touch.

Raising his paws, paying great attention to keeping his nails away, Xue Yi lightly touched the fluffy hair on the tip of His Highness's tail with the pad of his flesh, and the feel was as good as he imagined.His Highness seemed a little uncomfortable, the tail moved away, Xue Yi continued to touch with his claws unwillingly, the tail flicked to the other side, he got up slightly, hugged the fluffy tail in his arms and turned over.

A pair of big purple eyes appeared in front of Xue Yi, and there was a hint of teasing in the eyes.

It was only then that Xue Yi realized what he had just done, and let go of the tip of the tail in his paws in a nonchalant manner. He was embarrassed and thankful that he was a kitten now, and it's not surprising that he likes to play... Well, at all Don't be ashamed.

His Highness didn't care about the cub's behavior of playing with its tail, he stretched out his paws and pulled Xue Yi into his arms, exposing his belly to make him lie more comfortably.Feeling the warm body temperature of the big cat, Xue Yi really started to feel sleepy, yawned, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
