Outside the window is a dark void, and occasionally you can see some distant stars.

 There is no trace of my hometown for a long time.

 The exploration ship relied on the installed station and rear communication, but now its connection range has been far exceeded.

 In other words, it is a drifting boat.

The voice of liaison officer Bin came from the wind mother.

"Everything is normal, brothers. The strange noise at the station is caused by the loose base underneath and the sound made in the turbulence. It is like a knock on the door, not a visit from a void monster."

 “Dude Shelby, you gotta fix this thing.”

Maintenance clerk Shelby said in a loud voice: "I'm still checking the elemental magic well. You can find some cork chips there. Use the wood chips to put them in to stabilize it."

 “Woodchips?”

"Of course, even I have done this in the past. There are not so many supplies on this ship, so you have to use whatever you have... The plastic piece on the edge of the base of the magic well is deformed, and I have to work on that end first."

Bin asked: "Can any wood chips be used?"

"right."

 …

 In Fengmu, two colleagues were still talking.

Francis in the driver's seat looked towards the crystal window, and his clumsy and heavy work clothes were reflected in the crystal surface.

Through the crystal helmet, you can clearly see a Y-shaped crack on the white skull inside.

 This is the birthmark that Francis had when he woke up from the Bone Mound.

He moved his cervical vertebrae and made a soft clicking sound.

 Staying in a sitting position for a long time can also cause damage to bones.

 As a bone ancestor, you must learn to protect your bones. Healthy bones are the foundation of everything.

 Long ago, Francis wanted to be an excellent wizard.

As a hot new profession among the Yao people, magicians can create a variety of spells by writing magic talismans, and they can change the world just by sitting in their houses. Magic talismans are considered to be the power closest to divine power in this era.

 After actual contact, Francis realized that it was very difficult to develop magic symbols. Those complex and obscure runes, as well as the failed attempts day after day, made him frustrated.

He can skillfully use the basic [Rose Magic Talisman], but he cannot develop new magic symbols.

The Rose Talisman is a simple magic talisman created by the master Vasily, but even based on this, it is not easy to develop a new functional magic talisman.

The daily routine of most magicians is to use existing magic runes and magic runes for secondary processing—a kind of advanced skilled work.

 The cruel reality shattered Francis’s dream.

 After graduating from the [Magic Monastery], Francis chose the latter between a full-time dark descendant and a voyager. The former needs to go to the Dark Civilization for further training, while the latter can explore the unknown void.

　　【Voyage Ship】is closely related to magic talismans. Many functions and connections on the flying boat are completed by magic talismans and plastic sheets.

 Since this job is extremely dangerous, only undead and special elemental beings are currently recruited.

Francis has mastered magic spells, demonology, theology, engineering and other technologies. He is also an ancestor of the Bones. He was able to board the ship after passing the assessment.

According to the process, new voyagers will have several years of internship and rotate on three types of voyage spaceships: [Exploration Ship], [Patrol Ship] and [Gun Carrier Ship].

There are currently four voyagers on this spaceship. The main pilot, Sock, is a [Gunship Carrier] pilot with 12 years of work experience. The co-pilot, Francis, has been a [Patrol Ship] driver for 4 years. The liaison officer, Bin Shelby is an expert on company stations, and Shelby, the maintenance man, is a flying boat engineer.

 They were assigned to the [exploration ship] Ghost Lighthouse, and together with 53 other exploration ships, they began this historic first overseas voyage.

 This is the first time that the Yao people left the world with the power of civilization and entered the depths of the void. This time they no longer hide under the protection of the gods' wings, but ride on their own vehicles to embark on a journey of exploration into the unknown universe.

Each exploration ship is named after a wonder of the Yao people, which represents the steps taken by the Yao people's civilization to the outside world.

 What fate awaits ahead, no one knows.

Every one of the 54 voyagers on the airships knew that after they set off, they might never be able to return to the Yao people. The difficulties and challenges ahead need to be solved by themselves, and they still bravely accept this challenge.

 Just like what was said in the oracle of Fa Hai Shen.

"Of course we can also slow down, start from the most basic scattered gravel world around us, and go to look for some possible traces on it... Those are the foundation, and there are always people doing it. But on the road of voyage, we must go out, any The beginning of any new endeavor is the most difficult.”

"Conquering the void is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight, but there will always be people who take the first step, just like the first time we assembled the first track outside Yunzhong Temple and the first time we drove the spaceship into the ring group. Same."

 “You can say no, it’s not shameful.”

"Participants will receive the greatest support from the Yao civilization. We will solve all financial burdens for you and give you the best training environment. And I will continue to pay attention to you. As long as you pray, I will hear your voice —But I still have to emphasize that this is an extremely dangerous task, and even gods may not be able to save you from danger."

“The virtual universe is unpredictable, prayers may fail in some areas, the spaceship may malfunction, and things may even happen so suddenly that you don’t have time to pray or react…”

 The words of the gods are plain and sincere.

"If you are ready to meet all these challenges, then pray to me. I will hear your voice, your names will be recorded in the history of the Yao people, and your feats will be passed down forever."

 The reason Francis came on board was that he wanted to do something different.

Although he knew that he was a skeleton ancestor with no special talents, he still wanted to leave something behind.

 The empty universe is empty and lonely, and the flying boat always goes from one long night to another.

Those shining points of light in the darkness seemed to be not far ahead, but no matter how hard we flew, the distance between the exploration ship and them never got closer.

 The rear is a homeland that cannot be returned to, and the front is a distant place that cannot be reached.

 The flying boat is so small in the virtual universe.

The mission of the Ghost Beacon is to take off through a specific orbit, move along this direction, and search for the debris world that exists along the way.

 In the virtual universe, there are the most gravel worlds without life, and the number of fragmented worlds is not small either. This type of world is the place where apprentice gods come. It is rich in life species and a relatively suitable environment for survival. It is also a relatively safe world, not as dangerous as the kingdom of the gods.

The [exploration ship]’s voyage must not only avoid the Kingdom of God, but also search for traces of the fragmented world.

 Fortunately, the magic talisman provides many conveniences for the flying boat. For example, the outer shell of the boat is made of plastic sheets and magic talismans, and has the ability to "camouflage".

 In addition, the entire exploration ship belongs to the [Sparrow Class] medium-sized ship. Although it is not fast, it is better at dexterity and concealment.

The real voyage is completely different from the ups and downs and thrilling stories in the rumors.

During the twelve years of this voyage, Francis’ work flow remained unchanged most of the time.

 Inspect, maintain, record, and confirm one’s own status…

 To a certain extent, boring also represents security and stability.

 It’s time for shift today.

 Francis handed over the driving task to Sok, left the cab and entered the rest room at the back.

 He took off his helmet, removed the skull from his spine, inspected the cracks on it, and then applied some grease to the joints all over his body to ensure that they would not dry out and crack.

Francis then disassembled both arms and inspected them one by one to ensure that the fingers were flexible enough to use tools.

 The White Bone Ancestors do not need to eat, but they need to maintain their relatively fragile bodies more frequently.

Beside him, Bin is wrapping a bandage around his arm bone.

He said: "I've been thinking, we are made of bones, right? But why can the skull survive without being broken, but not other parts, why the head? I mean, why not prepare a few more heads so that one can be broken? , and if you have a spare, you won’t die, right?”

Francis thought about this question for a while: "There will be a quarrel."

 “If there are two or three heads.”

Francis expressed his opinion: "When several heads compete for a body, they will quarrel. Who controls the body and who is the backup? No one will be convinced."

“That makes sense.” Bing Gaga laughed: “Just like the marriages of the living, two people will quarrel every once in a while, and then the next person may be replaced and the quarrel will continue.”

"In this way, we are the real top of the biological chain, and we are the ultimate form of living things. You see, we don't need to eat, drink, or need so many things. We can live alone. We can Bury yourself and sleep, and for hundreds of thousands of years, as long as there are no dogs or rats chewing your heads off, we can live forever."

Bin stretched out his hand: "Thank you, buddy, this doubt has troubled me for many years."

 Francis high-fived him with a snap.

At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded inside the ship.

Francis and Bin immediately reacted and quickly put on their helmets, locked their overalls, and fixed themselves on the protective pole next to them.

 The whole ship began to flip and shake violently, and the two voyagers were knocked around inside. Some kind of huge pressure pressed Francis to the ground, and he lost consciousness in his skull.

 …

I do not know how long it has been.

Francis woke up from a nightmare and found himself in a pile of rubble. To be precise, his skull was here. Surrounded by various crystals and metal fragments left behind, not far ahead is a crashed spaceship.

　　His skull should have been thrown away by the impact - fortunately the helmet was strong enough, otherwise his head would have been shattered and he would have died.

Francis rolled his skull and let himself roll all the way to the wreckage of the spaceship. It found a spare special thick forbidden stone box, broke two of its teeth and bit open the outer buckle, opened the box, and found a spare body inside.

 He found his own size of spine, chest, hands and feet, and quickly stood up slowly. It's just that its body is a little shaky, and it lacks balance and dexterity. It still needs time to adapt to this new body.

Francis then dug out a pair of damaged overalls from the rubble. No matter how many there were, he put them on first, and then began to search for traces of other voyagers.

 He found Bin's skull. Although this guy's skull was shaken so much that it fell off his neck and got stuck in a corner, only his head and body were separated, and his body was basically intact.

However, the main driver Sock and the maintenance staff Shelby only found scattered skull fragments and confirmed that they died in the accident.

 Francis and Bing buried their two companions, and while gathering the remaining materials and supplies of the flying boat, they began to examine the world.

This is a very ordinary desolate gravel world, full of gravel and yellow sand, with no wind, and only a dim sun that rises and sets.

 When the sun rises, the surrounding visibility will be higher and there will be thick clouds in the sky. When the sun goes down the whole world starts to fog up, becoming foggy and with extremely low visibility.

 Francis and Bing each carried a [Black Magic] on their backs to guard against possible enemies.

 They spent two days building a basic camp using the wreckage of the airship.

At the same time, they also officially confirmed that the flying boat's magic well, station and driver's cab had been destroyed, and only some supplies and tools were still available in the small warehouse at the bottom.

 Francis and Bing began to save themselves. They first piled up the statues of Yao and Fahai and prayed to these two statues, but there seemed to be no response from the statues.

They then built a low wall of stones to serve as the outer defense of the camp.

 On the fourth day after they came to this world, a strange visitor arrived.

 “Hello, foreigners, can you understand me?” The visitor waved his hands and spoke weird syllables.

 Fortunately, Xingnao Mint is still there, so communication is not a problem.

“I didn’t mean any harm, I just saw that you seemed to have landed within the borders of our country, so I came all the way to check.”

 Francis and Bin looked at each other.

 The visitor has a kind attitude and is a young man with a kind face.

 He is slightly taller than the two voyageurs. He wears gorgeous and complicated long clothes and a peacock feather crown on his head. He looks like a noble or a singer and dancer from a certain country.

 There's just one problem.

 He is a piece of paper walking upright.

　　is a paper man.
