From ship girl to machine god

Chapter 51 Messiah

"Chief Engineer Qing, why are you standing here alone?" Just when Qingniao was thinking about how to collect faith, a staff member appeared behind her and asked her curiously.

Although I knew that Bluebird was very mysterious, I saw that she was wearing gorgeous or two-dimensional clothes, facing the harsh environment of Proxima b without any protection except the symbolic breathing mask on her face. The crew members of the investigation team still felt very horrified.

Because the picture in front of them is indeed beyond their understanding. After all, the surface environment of Proxima b is absolutely fatal to ordinary humans.

Whether it is the air or gravity, the radiation emitted by the red sun, or the atmospheric temperature, it is enough to kill any ordinary human being who is not well protected.

As for the Blue Bird, directly exposing the body to the atmospheric environment of Proxima b without protection, for ordinary crew members, it is tantamount to committing suicide.

But Blue Bird is so outrageous. Not only can she physically resist the harsh environment of Proxima b, but she can even walk outside the space capsule in this state. It makes people doubt whether she is a human being.

In fact, within the investigation team, speculation about whether Blue Bird is human has become rampant, and even the leadership has heard about it.

After all, the power shown by Blue Bird is beyond the reach of human beings, and it is indeed difficult to believe that she is a human being, or that she is an ordinary human being.

At present, the most mainstream speculation about Jade Bird's identity is that she is an alien. After all, Jade Bird's power is visible to the naked eye. At the same time, she also masters many black technologies that are beyond the current scope of human knowledge. This makes it difficult not to attract her to aliens. Human orientation associations.

Especially the spacecraft they were on that sent them to the Proxima Galaxy. If humans had this technology, they wouldn't put all their resources into a plan like the Mountain Moving Project that would take 500 years.

With the manpower and material resources that the coalition government can mobilize now, I dare not say that there should be no problem in building hundreds of spaceships with the same specifications as the spaceship they are riding on.

These spaceships can be designed as transport ships. A 20-ton transport ship can transport many people to the Proxima Galaxy at one time, even if the life and material security of the crew on board have to be taken into consideration.

Although the helium flash crisis is left to mankind for less than 100 years, in the past few decades, new transport ships have been continuously built and people have been transported to the Proxima Centauri system. Most of the people can always be transported here within 100 years. .

Even if you don’t know the situation of the Proxima Galaxy and are not sure whether there are habitable planets or something like that, you can still send a survey team over to conduct a preliminary investigation...

It seems that the investigation team is here to do preliminary investigation?That's okay, the humans on Earth must have sent their spaceships around.

There are many people who hold this idea. They all think that the blue bird is a kind alien who sent alien technology to the earth.

But some people hold different opinions. They do not deny that Qingniao masters black technology, but they think that she is not a living thing, but a machine like Dimensity 0017, or artificial intelligence.

After all, Qingniao looks too indifferent. He often has no expression and often behaves like a machine without emotion.

Regarding this guess, Qingniao can only say that although it is not right, it is not far off.

However, Jade Bird had not expressed any response to these speculations and claims before, and had a calm attitude of letting the rumors fly for a while.

But now considering that he needs faith, Qingniao feels that maybe he should be a bit more awesome, or show a bit of a miracle?

Qingniao thought so, then she turned her head in the horrified eyes of the crew member who greeted her, looked at him with a look full of pity, then took off the breathing mask on her head, and used psychic energy on her head. There was a light behind it, and it looked like there was a halo on the head.

The crew member who greeted Qingniao was a foreigner. He was a devout Christian. Originally, he shouldn't believe in the existence of other gods. But when he saw Qingniao's appearance, he knelt down directly on the ground and painted on his chest. Holding the cross, he prayed loudly to the blue bird: "Holy Father, Holy Son and Holy Spirit are above! Almighty Father, I saw your messenger! Did you let the angels come to earth?"

"Angel? No, you should call me Messiah." The blue bird heard the other party's prayer and thought that in this case, why not play a big game?

Then a ray of light fell from the sky and shone on this devout Christian.

Different from the red sunlight on this planet, the light falling from the sky was white and enveloped the believer, making him feel as if he had returned to the earth and was bathing in the warm sunlight. He felt as if his whole body was soaked in hot water. Just as comfortable.

This further deepened the Christian's faith. He simply knelt down and wanted to kiss the blue bird's over-the-knee boots, but the helmet mask of the space suit blocked him, so he could only press his head against it. At the feet of the blue bird, and then shouted loudly: "Thank God! Almighty Father! You finally let your son come to us again and save your lost lamb again!"

The so-called Messiah originally refers to the Zionist, an "anointed one" whom God will bring to restore the Jewish kingdom.

But later Christianity believed that Christ was the Messiah, not the restorer, but the savior, so Messiah became the title of the savior.

Now, Bluebird claims to be the Messiah, and there is nothing wrong with this Christian. The earth is indeed facing an apocalyptic disaster, and she is indeed a savior who is preparing to save the world.

Qingniao was very satisfied when she saw this Christian kneeling down in front of her devoutly, because she felt the worship and belief in her from this believer, although it was insignificant, it did appear.

This made Qingniao very satisfied, and it also confirmed that there was no problem with her desire to collect faith.

However, using the existing faith of Christianity was still slightly different from her original idea. She originally planned to establish a new god.

But now it seems that using existing religions and beliefs can achieve one's own ideas more effectively.

This gradually gave Qingniao an idea, so she stretched out her hand to help the believers on the ground stand up, and then said: "I will walk in the world again, and you will become a new saint, go and declare me to the Lamb of the Father. come, and let them abandon their old worship and establish new worship for me.”

"Praise your existence, the great Messiah! You are here and now and forever!" The devout believers crossed themselves on their chests again.

Chapter 52 Zero Gravity Bath

With the rotation of staff, Jade Bird returned to the mothership with the first group of survey team members who landed on Proxima b. The other group of members who succeeded them will continue the construction of the temporary camp and exchange with them again a week later. .

This is a plan determined after discussion by the leadership of the investigation team. After all, there are more than 700 members of the investigation team on the spacecraft, so it is not overwhelming to separate different teams for rotation.

In addition, the survey team is also setting up three geosynchronous orbit communication satellites. After establishing a communication network, it is preparing to establish two other temporary camps on the surface of Proxima Centauri b.

After all, this is a terrestrial planet about the same size as the Earth, with a relatively livable environment. The technology provided by Blue Bird provides the necessary conditions for humans to migrate to this planet. The leadership of the investigation team naturally Consider whether humans can colonize this planet.

Although the coalition government is currently advancing the mountain-moving plan and the Ark plan is almost considered to be abandoned, the existence of Blue Bird and jump engine technology still allows the spaceship faction to seize the last glimmer of hope.

In fact, if humans can really imitate the jump engine, it is not impossible to move to the Proxima Galaxy.

Even if this is not taken into consideration, and the current coalition government is allocating its energy to the Mountain Moving Project and does not have the resources to build more spaceships, Proxima Centauri can still be used as an alternative for future interstellar immigration and colonization on this planet. Establish a permanent base or scientific research station to conduct scientific surveys.

After all, this is the first time humans have landed on an Earth-like planet outside the solar system, and any discovery has very high scientific research value.

This is why mankind now needs to face the solar helium flash crisis. Otherwise, every move they make now is considered to be pioneering history. It is a major historical event comparable to Gagarin's belt of vodka and space and Armstrong's "one small step".

Even if humans are now facing a helium flash crisis, what they have done will not be widely reported on the earth, and they can already write their names in the history books.

Therefore, it is very reasonable for the leadership of the investigation team to consider establishing more temporary camps on Proxima b to conduct further investigations on the planet and it is in the original mission plan of the investigation team.

However, these didn't seem to have much to do with Jade Bird. After returning to the spacecraft and checking the various production plans of the engineering cabin, she returned to the captain's cabin to rest.

Although the harsh environment of Proxima b had no effect on her when she was down there, and the nano-armor on her body could effectively resist sand and dust, Jade Bird still felt uncomfortable after not taking a shower for as long as a working cycle.

Even though the temporary camp already has a stable supply of fresh water, the water resources are still not sufficient. It is no problem to use it for drinking and daily use, but it is still not enough to take a comfortable bath or something.

So Qingniao could only wait until he returned to the ship before he could take a good bath in his own large bathroom dedicated to the captain's room.

Speaking of which, Bluebird's private bathroom is the best and most luxurious bathroom on the ship.

There is a large bathtub here that can be used as a swimming pool. It is not the thing called a swimming pool on the typhoon level, which is actually a larger pool. It is a large swimming pool that can literally swim back and forth, at least it is the same as in a certain fantasy children's literature. The bathroom for prefects is on par.

Although this is the captain's room, it is reasonable for the captain to enjoy some extra preferential treatment, but considering that this is a space battleship, you can imagine how outrageous this is.

After all, being able to take a bath and swim in space is a treat that others can hardly imagine.

Of course, on this ship, in addition to the Blue Bird's exclusive bathroom with such conditions, the public bathroom also has a large bathtub in addition to showers, which can provide a bathing and swimming experience.

However, the large public bath is only open to female crew members, and male crew members cannot experience the joy of swimming and bathing.

The male crew members protested several times on this issue, but considering that the number of users of the large bath was limited and could only meet the needs of some crew members, the leadership of the investigation team maintained this rule and only allowed female crew members to use the large bath. permission.

As for the exclusive bathroom of Jade Bird, in addition to various luxurious decorations and bathing facilities, Jade Bird has also installed an additional gravity adjustment device, which can temporarily turn off the artificial gravity in the bathroom and allow itself to float with the water in the bathtub. .

For astronauts in the pre-space age, bathing in space was a very difficult thing to achieve. Both the United States and the former Soviet Union invested a lot of energy in this matter, but in the end they did not allow astronauts to take a bath in space. You can take a bath comfortably.

Water droplets in a weightless environment will damage various instruments and equipment. The space inside the spacecraft is too small to install bathing equipment or professional bathrooms. It is difficult for astronauts to avoid water droplets entering the respiratory tract when taking a bath, etc...

But for the Blue Bird, this is not a problem.

The exclusive large bathroom can not only take a bath, but also swim. There is enough space for Qingniao to toss around. At the same time, she is a ship girl. Even if she does not use a respirator, it will not have any impact on her to soak in the water, let alone use it. Nose clip respirator is a diving equipment that avoids the problem of choking on water.

The reason why we do this is because it is very comfortable to have your body wrapped in a ball of water in a gravity-free environment.

At least that's the case for Blue Bird, which gives her a relaxing feeling like sleeping on a cloud.

After discovering that the lack of his soul could easily lead to excessive emotions, Qingniao has always liked to use this method to relax himself.

Put a large ball of hot water and let herself float in it. The gravity-free environment will ensure that she will not fall out of the water as long as she does not move. The various luxurious bathing equipment in the bathroom can ensure the water temperature. Always maintained at a comfortable temperature...

For Jade Bird, this is simply the most comfortable thing.

If no one disturbs her, she can even float like this all the time.

During the previous voyage, Qingniao even had the experience of soaking herself in zero-gravity water for a whole day, so much so that she fell asleep comfortably. It was the best sleep she had ever had. A comfortable sleep is as reassuring and comfortable as returning to your mother's belly.

And now, she was planning to do it again to give herself a good rest.

As for the fact that a new saint on the ship who had witnessed the miracles of the Messiah was preaching and preaching miracles to other Christians on the ship, so that he was locked up by the leadership of the investigation team, Qingniao planned to wait until he finished taking a bath. After all, if he wants to become a new saint, a mere prison sentence is the test given to him by the calendar master.

Chapter 53 Be open and honest

At 17's reminder, he walked out of the captain's room.

At this time, the leadership of the investigation team had begun a closed-door meeting that lasted for several hours, but it was of no use. They still didn't know how to deal with the fact that there were people on board who believed in the Blue Bird fanatically.

It's understandable why they are confused. After all, the coalition government was reorganized from the United Nations in the past on earth. The composition of various countries is complex. Many countries were religious countries in the past and had strong religious beliefs.

In fact, apart from China

Chapter 54 Crazy Battleship

Although there have been many speculations about the identity of the blue bird before, and some people speculated that she was the artificial intelligence of the spacecraft, but no one really thought that the blue bird was the spacecraft itself.

"In other words, we are actually in your body, Chief Engineer Qing?" Someone asked such a soul question. Although it was not important, this question still made everyone curious.

After all, compared to whether the blue bird is the artificial intelligence of the spacecraft or the spacecraft itself, this curious and bizarre question is more concerning.

However, regarding this question, Qingniao shook his head and explained: "The spaceship is my body, I can indeed perceive everything on the spacecraft, and you are also in my body.

But there is an essential difference between ship girls and humans. You in my body will not make me feel anything special or uncomfortable.

In other words, there is an essential difference between the senses of a ship girl and that of humans. The information that the ship body can perceive comes more from the observation equipment of the ship itself. Those things are equivalent to my eyes and ears. .

And you are equivalent to various organs or cells in the human body. Do you feel anything special about having a bunch of extra cells in your body? "

Hearing what Qingniao said, although everyone didn't understand it very well, they did not continue to delve into this topic, at least not in front of Qingniao.

"Chief Engineer Qing, can you explain why you need faith?" The old scientist was more concerned about why the blue bird needed faith.

"Because I need to advance myself to the next stage of life." Qingniao explained all this in a way that old scientists and others can understand, trying his best to make them understand: "The ship girl itself is a mechanical creation. But the technology that makes us is no different from magic to you. At least you can't turn a ship into a person. This is already magic to you.

In fact, the process of making us does involve spiritual power, which allows us to use some spiritual power, which is real magic and miracles. The aura or other miracles I showed before are all this category.

And this is the essence that I have only recently awakened to. It is related to subspace, so I don’t plan to explain too much.

You just need to understand that after awakening my essence, I gained idealistic magical abilities. While all this made me stronger, it also affected my own state. "

As Qingniao said this, he also took out the core of his mind from his chest.

This "heart-breaking" move in the physical sense really shocked many people, but looking at the red and blue mental core in Jade Bird's hand, everyone had an intuitive understanding of the concept that Jade Bird is "not a human being".

"My past experiences are meaningless to you, and I had problems with myself when I arrived on Earth, so that I was seriously injured and the core of my mind was damaged. The red part was peeled off directly from the core of my mind. , causing serious damage to me, so much so that my soul was torn." When the blue bird said this, he looked at the old scientist, who had come into contact with the fragments and the body of the core of the mind: "You have come into contact with the core of my mind, you should It can be understood that its two different colors represent two different states, and the red state among them, we ship girls call it META."
