Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 256
Some civilizations keep starships as pets.

In a sense, this big guy is really cute, and its intelligent AI can adjust parameters and set personality;

Whether it is extremely sticky or rejects people thousands of miles away, it can be set according to the needs of the owner.

And, "pet" also pays attention to the interaction with the owner.

There are very few creatures that can surpass starships in this regard. After all, what kind of creature can stretch out huge engineering giant claws after the owner lightly presses a button; or launch missiles to show the driver a gorgeous fireworks.

Zuo Wu also gradually realized the joy of this aspect when he was supplementing the operation knowledge of the Fugitive before——

Arranging cables for a starship is equivalent to combing the hair of an ordinary pet; touching the shell of the ship is equivalent to patting its head.

As for the operation chip that touches the starship, or its deepest parts?
This is another wonderful point. After all, no matter how nice and cute an ordinary pet is, at most it will turn its belly to its owner, and it is absolutely impossible to show its brain and internal organs openly.

and so.

When Zuo Wu saw the projection that was finally recharged and displayed intermittently, he felt so distressed.

Like a dying cat in a rainy night, but still extremely stubborn and showing its fangs.

at this time.

Due to the abundance of energy, "Dashan" has gradually regained its long-lost computing power; the holographic projection has become more and more hostile to the new ancestors and grandchildren, and when it is angry, it is also mobilizing the weapons inside the hull.

There was the creaking sound of metal rubbing against teeth, Zuo Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and patted the shoulder of Gray Wind that floated in: "Grey Wind, can I trouble you...help it?"

Gray Wind made a clear gesture, squinted his eyes at the projection, and looked serious: "No problem, do you want to refer to the template of Duzi, or the character of Qingkong in the ancient painting?"

"...What does this have to do with them?"

"Hmm," Gray Wind lowered his voice, as if whispering, poking his index fingers together:
"I understand, because you haven't seen Ms. Duzi for a long time, and you miss her because you can't get in touch with her, so you want to transform the shipboard AI here, and use it as something, yes, a meal replacement!"

"Or maybe the ancient painting Qingkong has always been very indifferent to you, but it has a very good relationship with Miss Ai Shanshan, and it is really difficult to start, so..."

The more he said it, the more Gray Wind felt that it made sense, and there was still a bit of desire hidden in his bright eyes, as if he was waiting for praise from others after he made a brilliant reasoning.

Zuo Wu only felt his temples throbbing wildly, and his blood pressure rose instantly.

Just looking at Hui Feng with an innocent face, he actually remembered the good thing about blunts - at least he can hammer whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to be as afraid as he is when facing Hui Feng.

He could only rub the center of his brows, glanced at the projection that flickered because the energy supply was still insufficient, but still held great hostility towards Xiang Xin and Xiang Du Shi's grandson, and continued to explain:

"That's not what I mean, I just want you to dispel the hatred that Projection has for Xiangxin and the others. Now it's just face-to-face and they're going to fight, it's not a big deal at all."

Gray Wind understood once again, but his eyes widened a little, quite surprised:

"It's just brainwashing it? No problem! Well, it turns out that you didn't want a meal replacement for Dutzi and Guhua Qingkong, but Jinmian's..."

"But it's not necessary, right? I think you just need to talk to your orc lady, she will definitely agree to your request directly, anything is fine, after all, her hormone level is here when she sees you."

When Jin Mian was rescued, Zuo Wu also used brainwashing to dispel her wariness. The method was to wash Jin Mian's longing for his leader onto Zuo Wu himself.

However, the brainwashing method derived from Gongrong Insurance should have been ineffective long ago, but Jin Mian's trust has not weakened at all, but has become deep and unforgettable.

It's just that Jinmian is wearing fur, which has a natural camouflage on her expression and complexion, so she can at least look unchanged.

Zuo Wu narrowed his eyes and smiled wryly:

"...Grey Wind, sometimes I really don't know whether you understand us or don't understand us at all. It's not that complicated. It's just that the shipboard AI here can talk to us properly."

Gray Wind clicked his tongue: "All right, all right, I don't understand what you're insisting on, anyway, just keep them from fighting right away, right? Look at me."

Just the voice just fell.

The terrifying creation from millions of years ago showed her corner of crushing any technological strength at the moment. The unruly projection flickered for a moment, and immediately became gentle and humble.

It stood up straight, leaned over, and showed a bright smile towards Xinhe and Du Shi's grandchildren with the same politeness as when he watched the passengers leave for the last time:
"Gui'an, seeing that the traitor has not lost his children and grandchildren, and the corpses are scattered all over the field, and his descendants are still standing in front of me, and they don't seem to have any genetic defects. I really can't be happy."

"You are very welcome back."

Zuo Wu's temples throbbed wildly again. Does this really look like he can talk directly?

Faced with this situation, grandparents and grandchildren will not have a little doubt about their ancestors?
I see.

Xiang Xin looked at his grandfather suspiciously: "Well, what does 'betrayer' mean?"

Xiang Du Shi hugged his grandson: "Probably... I pulled out your life support device, and you threw me in the powder to die, almost."

"Ah? So, our ancestors also pulled out its oxygen tube?" Xiang Xin felt extremely guilty, and took a step forward: "That should be a good apology."

Shaking his head to Du Shi, he took a few steps closer to the photon puppet:

"Well, do you dare to ask extraterrestrial visitors like you, after being pulled out of the life-support device and thrown into the powder, will they be unable to maintain their bodies like this? You seem to be a shadow, have you experienced similar things?"

It seems that Xiang Dushi doesn't know what "holographic projection" is, and thinks that the image projected by the shipboard AI is also a flesh and blood creature, and he has an association with a photon puppet like a shadow, so he came to such a conclusion.

The photon puppet didn't know what to say, and it took a long time to find an excuse: "How should I put it, maintaining a strong imagination and forming the habit of associating is really a good thing for exploration..."

The projection was dumb, and the expression immediately became sad, but the voice seemed to be applauding:
"Huh? You have become like this, so ignorant? Huh, retribution, retribution, I really hope that there is still a betrayer alive, and I can see with my own eyes what my descendants have become!"

Zuo Wu realized that before he knew it, he had become accustomed to the feeling of having a big head.

And the projection also likes to swear, which is somewhat similar to the blunt one; it's just that the blunt one likes the shadowy mockery, while the shipboard AI prefers straight-ball insults.

Only ask in person.

"So, what's the name of this shipboard AI?"

The projection flickered a few times, and its calculation program was extremely puzzled by the arrival of Zuo Wu and his party, but because of the influence of the gray wind, it could only answer:

"My number is too long, it's very troublesome to pronounce, it's ugly, and it's not suitable as a name. According to the custom, you can call me 'Feng',"

The shipboard AI replied that facing Zuo Wu did not bow like it did when facing the new grandparents:

"Okay, do I have the right to ask questions? Bandits who have somehow modified my calculation logic, may I ask where you are from?"

Zuo Wu pointed to himself, a little shy: "I am the Emperor of the Dilian."

"Dilian? What a small country, I've never heard of it."

Subtlely shocked, Zuo Wu scratched his hair: "...Compared with Renlian, maybe it is indeed a small country. What is the problem between you and Renlian? What about the traitor?"

The shipboard AI that called itself "Feng" was silent for a moment:
"Before I explain, please allow me to apologize; I shouldn't have called you robbers; after all, compared with Renlian, you are no different from saints."

"As for Renlian, they should be called bandits, a group of insatiable gluttons who plunder in various parallel worlds!"

Zuo Wu nodded.

This is generally the same as the Great Wall node of Taowumu. Renlian is plundering in various world lines by connecting the Great Wall nodes of various world lines.

It's just that the Taowumu Great Wall node only said that the targets that Renlian is interested in are mostly world lines abandoned by players, but according to Feng, they are actually hungry?
Zuo Wu clasped his hands: "Is this universe also invaded by Renlian?"

Unexpectedly.

Feng put his waist on his hips, a little proud:

"Invasion, huh, invasion? Let me tell you, stranger, our universe is different from other universes! It is true that Renlian came to invade, but we sent it back!"

"It's a pity that I didn't witness the last moment before the victory. The retreating galaxy in Renlian exhausted its energy and fell into a deep sleep; it's a pity that I didn't see those curators and betrayers kneeling before our eyes!"

Zuo Wu raised his eyebrows, the residents of this universe repelled Renlian?How did you do it?Does it have anything to do with the "Grey Wind" which has an incomparably huge fleet in this universe?

He was still thinking, and Feng began to look around.

It's just that it's just a projection after all, without real eyes, and the observation of Zuo Wu and his party depends on the low-power monitor inside the ship.

As for the detectors that can observe the universe, they are still sleeping because of the shortage of energy.

It can only look towards Zuo Wu, with an earnest expression:

"Stranger, please tell me! After repelling Renlian, has our universe returned to its usual prosperity and become a vibrant paradise for our generation?"

Zuo Wu was silent for a while, and then looked at Ji Zhi who was also silent.

Prosperity?Vibrant?
But the following is obviously a dead world of powder imitation, and other expeditions to distant planets and galaxies, the news sent back is generally the same.

Under the gaze of earnest eyes, Zuo Wu didn't even have the heart to shake his head directly, but turned to Gray Wind: "Grey Wind, please also charge up Feng's detector... Let it take a look at the planet under its feet. "

Gray Wind nodded, and changed his posture of holding the cable.

The majestic energy from the Go to the Dead was directed to a specific place on the starship, allowing Feng to open his "eyes".

It is ready to meet a world of vigorous competition, which is extremely exciting.

It's just that this agitation quickly solidified, and then turned into suspicion:

"...Stranger, first of all thank you for your energy support, but please don't take me for a fool," Feng shook his head, pointing in the direction of the powder planet:

"This is the first galaxy that Renlian invaded. I know all the plants, trees, geographical conditions, and hydrological characteristics here in the past!"

"This planet is clearly what it looked like thousands of years ago, before Renlian came!"

"I remember its lushness, and I also remember that I regretted that such a rich planet did not evolve civilization in the end. It's a pity... Wait?"

Feng shook his head. As the detector gradually recovered due to the abundant energy supply, its dark color became more and more confused:
"Wait, no, is this really my universe? Why are the various values ​​like this? It seems that this universe has been torn apart by something, and then grafted onto something. It's weird, weird."

"and many more."

"The world below is imitated by Gray Wind. Is it imitated into this incomparably rich scene before Renlian invaded?"

Zuo Wu finally nodded.

……

Feng didn't have time to feel sad.

Because it is affected by the gray wind around Zuo Wu, it can only be allowed to mourn when it has finished speaking first.

The world line from which this cosmic fragment came from was worthy of being called a warm country in the past.

There used to be no competition here, but the winners were all pro-foreign civilizations and regimes, and they formed an organization similar to the Star Sea Alliance to help the weak and move forward together.

Soon, such a Star Sea Alliance will bring the entire galaxy of that world line under its command, continue to advance in exploration, and even take steps outside the galaxy, hoping to rely on its own strength brought about by unity instead of relying on hyperspace waterways to conquer Deep space.

at that time.

The curator who loves exploration and scientific research, and Gray Wind, who is afraid of loneliness, are accepted by such a warm world, and even become real family members with those civilizations.

Even Hui Feng beside Zuo Wu felt a little envious when she heard this; after all, her relationship with Liao Yuan was nothing more than a pledge of allegiance, even if she was valued, she still wanted more.

But Da Khan in Liaoyuan didn't seem to have any plans to regard her as a family member.

She couldn't imagine how happy Gray Wind was in this world.

Until Renlian struck, all the good things were interrupted.

At that time, for some reason, Renlian hated all races that were not human, and even more hated the mixed blood brought about by the common pro-foreignness in this world.

What it brings is extinction.

Renlian has swallowed countless developed planets built by "players" in countless world lines, and it is so strong; that is, the warmth and unity of this world can resist for a while.

Gray Wind and the curator also became comrades-in-arms, fighting against Renlian for a long time.

At the last moment, when Feng almost drove Renlian to the starting point of its invasion, he lost all energy and fell into a deep sleep. At that time, the situation was so good that it couldn't think of how to lose.

pity.

When it woke up, it saw such a world.

Gray Wind beside Zuo Wu held hands:
"...Well, I think, in this worldline, I also stubbornly pretended to be when Renlian didn't come because I couldn't accept failure, couldn't accept the demise of the galaxy that accepted me, and didn't want to face Renlian's invasion. look."

It is more unforgettable to lose after you get it.

Zuo Wu nodded: "What about the 'betrayer'?"

"Some curators want to see Renlian's technology, and want to follow them who are about to fail."

Feng nodded, then shook his head again.

Suddenly, the projection went crazy, and even the lights of the entire starship began to flicker: "Wait, I haven't lost it, I haven't lost it, neither have my Gray Wind, nor..."

"She imitated the world before Renlian's arrival. Even if it is a simulation, does our bright galaxy still exist?!"

Even virtual dreams.

Feng also wished to indulge in it forever and never wake up.
