《Love and Robots》12. The Mugan
Advertisement
The Mugan is the name of the only edible plant on the planet.
The grass is thin, short and wilted. The plant was accidentally brought to the planet by earth settlers, among other plants, and hardly anyone noticed it.
Back then, this yellow grass didn’t even have a name.
It was this nameless plant, however, that later became a lifesaver to save all the people on the planet!
Hundreds of years ago, the galaxy was plunged into a long period of darkness by a horrific starburst, and the surviving humans were stunned when they emerged from their base.
The planet they had found that they thought could replace Earth as a second habitat for humans was unrecognisable. The explosion produced a cloud of dust that blanketed the atmosphere. No more light came from the sky. The air became very cloudy. The water on the surface was no longer drinkable.
Plants began to die in droves on Earth, followed by plant extinctions and the death of a large number of plant eaters, followed by a reduction in the number of carnivorous predators that feed on plant eaters.
During that long period of darkness, man was plunged into a terrible famine.
Until one day, someone found the Mugan.
There is no light, there is no water in the harsh environment, that even the name does not have the small yellow grass quietly emerged buds. As they dug down the roots of the yellow grass, they were stunned: it was very different from the short leaves that came out of the ground! The yellow grass has very strong roots, thin, long roots twisted into the soil, will be around the water picked up little by little, sucked into their main root system, the result is a large, strong, full-grown rhizome.
The roots of one square metre of yellow grass could provide two adults with a day’s worth of water and food -- and by the time it was discovered, the surviving humans on the planet were boiling.
The hardy plant was carefully named “Root, ” after the human surname that gave it its name, and was eventually called “Mugan. ”.
For earthlings who live on another planet, the roots represent their homeland and also symbolize their tenacious vitality.
It can be said that in this period of the worst external environment, the planet’s people and animals are all on a small “Mugan” to survive. During this time, the most popular name for humans was “Mugan, ” a name that symbolized an era.

Today’s Mugan are the last vestiges of an entire era.
He’s the last human on the planet.
Using ancient textbooks, every day for decades, only the meat and “Mugan” grass to eat, do not see any hope, anyone sounds like a very desperate life, but the Mugan is very hard to live.
He was raised well by the parents.
As the name Mugan suggests, even in the worst of conditions and with little hope of survival, he lived a very serious life, diligently growing mugwort and even raising a few unicorns on a single diet, he cooks the only food in a variety of ways.
In addition, the Mugan also assiduously absorbed all the knowledge that the robot had taught him, even though it could not be used in this barren land, yet it formed a strong and full root system in his mind, just give him a chance, he can sprout at any time, or even bloom.
Now the Mugan finds itself with a real opportunity.
Father and uncles told him: this world outside, there is another bigger and broader world! And the door to a new world was open to him --
“Sigma, to the New World, I will find better materials for you to build a better ass and thighs. ” Write the last word on the paper, the Mugan carefully tilted his head, Bright Eyes, he smiled broadly at the sigma beside him.
The glow of Sigma’s screen revealed an equally large smiley face.
With the infinite yearning for a new life, the Little Brothers quickly completed the work on their hands, until they re-walk outside, the moment by the tall spaceship dazzling.
“How Cool! ” The Mugan boy was shocked to see that he hadn’t seen a real spaceship since birth.
“Sigma... ass... ” sigma also froze, looking at the wall of the spacecraft on a prominent silver patch, he immediately put the whole body up.
“Mugan, the ship is ready to take off in exactly five minutes. A has put enough food and water on it for you to use. Please check if anything is missing. ” Today’s alpha has only the core brain left, without a strong arm to lift sigma away, he simply left him alone. The boy who had only reached his waist was now much larger than he was, and it was the first time Alpha had looked up at the human race from such an angle.

It was like I was about to break down, and it was really hard.
Alfa wondered if she had knocked herself out too hard and hit the wrong wire. But it doesn’t matter. He’s done what’s important.
As long as we get the Mugan out of here, it doesn’t matter what the droids do.
It’s a far better place than the robotic maintenance and regeneration center, where you don’t have to worry about getting hurt and being forced into storage, or having your parts taken apart and used on other machines, they have the best life experiences on the planet.
“I have a lot of Mugan pictures in my head, and when they’re gone, I can show them to you as long as I have power, ” says Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, who is secretly talking to him.
“I’ve got the video, ” says Beytagh, who is reticent to speak.
“I’ve got a couple of Mugan for Sigma’s ass. ” This time it’s the honest-looking Epsilon.
Then the droids were happy again.
See, now they have no body and no power, but they still have so many precious things, for them, the most precious things are in their minds, as long as they are not destroyed, will be with them through it all.
They’ve done all they can, the rest of the way will go on with their Mugan, they took sigma out before it even turned on, he’s got no criminal record, he can go anywhere, in 13 years, they have put all their knowledge into sigma’s “Brain” , and together with a, they must be able to take good care of Mugan.
Alpha watched as the Mugan and Sigma scuttled into the ship, and when he came back out, he had a big smile on his face. “Uncle Alpha, this is the coolest ship I’ve ever seen! ”
“The shuttle will take off in one minute and thirty seconds. Please Board, ” Alpha’s voice remained as hard as ever as a soft green glow glinted from the glowing screen. “Final baggage check, please. ”
The five shimmering screens fixed their eyes on the young man on the ship for the last time.
They looked at the Mugan, and sure enough they went through the luggage again, probably really forgetting something. Just as the ship was about to take off, a couple of droids (big heads) watched the Mugan jump off the ship as fast as they could.
Have you forgotten any luggage? Several droids thought.
“Countdown to launch... forty-five... forty-four... ” no, the Mugan was running toward them with the Alpha’s countdown warning.
At breakneck speed, Mugan ran toward the droids, and without a second thought, grabbed Euskadi Ta Askatasuna.
“You’re wrong, we’re not luggage... ” Euskadi Ta Askatasuna couldn’t resist reminding him.
“How can it be luggage, you are my most important family! ” With the fastest speed to pick up the five big head in his arms, Mugan faster to run in the direction of the ship.
It occurred to the droids that, all along, it seemed... they hadn’t explicitly told the Mugan that they weren’t going.
Because the “Heart” did not want to say goodbye, so they did not say goodbye to each other, they think as a human Mugan should be taken for granted.
But the Mugan took them with them, of course.
“I, we are wanted criminals... ... ” this time, even the always calm alpha are stuck for a while.
“I know! Sigma told me from the beginning. Sigma also said that the tomatoes and eggs he brought with him were given to you by your pursuers at the beginning. ”
Six Sigma You this pig teammate ← five big bald heads now achieved the high resonance.
“The Imperial Penal Code that I have seen in recent days says that the guardian of a minor is under the protection of the law. You will be safe until I come of age. It is a long time before I come of age. Before that, I will find a way. ” Hold five big heads in your arms, mugan quickly climbed the steps of the ship.
“I will protect you. ”
The droids heard the Mugan say.
Once small children are held in their arms every day, but now, it is time for them to be held in the arms of that child.
He said he would protect them.
The relationship between the protector and the protected was suddenly shaken off, and the Mugan’s arms were not broad at all, but he lay in them with great comfort.
Alpha let himself be taken by the Mugan.
For one second, he didn’t want to do any analysis. Lying quietly in Mugan’s arms was the only thing he wanted to take seriously.
The same goes for the others.

Medieval Terror
[Trickle! Trickle!] Blood… Pure unfiltered blood. Thick wetness of inhumane variety was drowning the contours of my defiled countenance with crimson slick. My warrior’s mien was brutally decorated with the vile viscera and entrails of the dead. Scattered all around me was a large pile of corpses floating in the bloodthirsty puddle of the afterlife. Accompanying my rest within this detestable domain was a rapacious array of lord Beelzebub’s kin. A swarm of black motile embodiment capable of aerial drifts made my bloody appearance barely visible. [Buzz! Buzz!] I was dead yet living, I could travel between the broken realms of existence and meddle with the vengeful souls. Such was possible by virtue of my life that had succumbed to the Lure of Enigma. The bizarre events that unfolded which brought me to this destitute phase of utter dysphoria was a mixture of tales that will leave a distasteful flavour of doleful buds on your tongue. If you wish to know more about my apocalyptic journey then feel free to turn the pages of my undying path. However, I must warn you, inquisitive readers. My legendary tale might cause your weak constitution to become cripple, hence read at your own peril.

Changes
Changes is a collection of three stories that take place after the events of Edict. It would benefit the reader to read both Hy'Ruh-ha and Edict. Story one: The Monk and The Princess After a several months break from duty, Soletus, is asked to serve by the Patriarch as an escort to a conference the Brotherhood is attending. The only catch is he's acting as a second warden because someone wants him promoted. All he has to do is be at his best. However, his best is put to the test as he led surly men and then get whisked off to solve a disturbing plot with a determined and bored princess. Notice: Please note, that Soletus, aka main character is asexual. That is part of being a neth elf. This story delves into information about it neth and gets into the neth elf experience a few times in this story. You've been warned. Also note: As much as I didn't want to put it in this story, avoiding it was a futile effort on my part. There were things I needed to explain about Soletus and it's hard to write personal tales about character when avoiding talking about certain personal aspects of them. Story Two: The Sun and Stars - Summary and Date TBA
