From ship girl to machine god

"META? Transcendence? Metamorphosis?" After hearing this word, the old scientist tried to understand its meaning.

Qingniao nodded slightly and agreed with his guess: "META transformation is indeed a kind of transcendence for a ship girl, because once a ship girl becomes a META, her life form will be greatly sublimated and her strength will be greatly improved. .

If an ordinary ship girl is a humanoid battleship with the same combat power as a battleship, then a META-shaped ship girl has the combat power of an entire fleet.

I once saw a senior who had completed META show her power. She destroyed an entire aircraft carrier formation in an instant, and it was a space fleet based on my body. "

The leadership of the investigation team is already very familiar with the Blue Bird's identity, and they naturally know how terrifying this battleship is.

To put it bluntly, this ship can lift up the current United Earth Government and beat it, but the United Government has nothing to do with this ship.

And an entire aircraft carrier formation based on this ship... no one can imagine how powerful this fleet is.

Such a fleet would be destroyed in an instant by a META-like ship girl...

This gave everyone a chill down their spines and a terrifying feeling that the hairs all over their bodies stood up.

However, what Qingniao said next made them even more frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweat: "META is a change that every ship girl will experience, and this process is irreversible, but META is very important to ship girls." In itself, it is also a very dangerous thing.

Because once the degree of META is too high, the ship girl will lose her mind and turn into a beast that only knows fighting and destruction. "

"A beast that only knows fighting and destruction? Chief Engineer Qing, are you describing it or a metaphor? Are you in META now? Aren't you going crazy too?" The political cadre felt that his hands were shaking. He had seen people go crazy. , the battleship going crazy was beyond his scope of cognition.

But as long as you think of a 20-ton, more than 700-meter-long warship going crazy on the earth, with all its weapons activated, it will fight whatever it sees...

Political cadres sincerely hope to hear good news from the blue bird's mouth.

However, the result was negative. Qingniao nodded affirmatively and said: "I am now in the process of becoming a META, and I do not deny that the problem that occurred when I arrived on Earth was that I started to become a META. It's just that I He controlled himself at that time and stopped his excessive metamorphosis at the cost of serious injuries and severe damage to his body.

But the result was that the core of my mind was shattered and my soul was torn apart.

In order to treat these injuries, I chose to reveal my identity to the coalition government in exchange for help from the coalition government.

With the assistance of materials provided by the coalition government, I repaired the main body and also tried to repair the mental core, but to no avail. Earth's technology cannot repair the mental core. "

When Qingniao said this, he looked at the old scientist again, and he nodded to indicate that what Qingniao said was true.

"Originally, I planned to cooperate with the coalition government and let you study my mental core to find a way to repair the core and control META, but there was a slight accident in the plan." Qingniao said, and looked at the mental core in his hand. : "During this journey, due to the contact with subspace, my mental core repaired itself, and the process of me being metamorphosed for a large part began again..."

Having said this, Qingniao turned his attention to everyone: "And if you want to prevent me from turning into a beast, you can only sublimate my soul by collecting positive beliefs in me, so as to maintain sanity in the process of META transformation."

Chapter 55 Humanity is not united

After knowing that Jade Bird's need for faith was an objective and rigid need, the leadership of the investigation team was unable to make any effective decisions.

In addition to the decision to release the member of the investigation team who had already believed in Jade Bird, they only decided to temporarily prevent Jade Bird from continuing to actively preach or demonstrate her abilities.

"Chief Engineer Qing, we already understand your needs and problems, but for the time being, our investigation team's mission is still to investigate the Proxima Galaxy and the entire Nanmen [-], and you need to believe in this matter, and we also need to return to Earth. It will then be reported to the coalition government, which will make a decision on the matter." The political cadre of the investigation team explained to Qingniao, while also trying to persuade her not to take drastic actions: "As for the issue of spreading beliefs, our The principle is not to stop or encourage, but please understand that this kind of thing is likely to affect our main work, so I hope you will not take the initiative to spread faith, and I hope you can understand our difficulties."

Qingniao didn't pay too much attention to the decision they made. He just nodded and said, "I don't have to take the initiative to add more followers, but I won't pay too much attention to the behavior of the Christian believer who already believes that I am the Messiah." If he can successfully preach, I hope you will not stop him."

"Members of the investigation team enjoy freedom of belief. They have the right to choose what they believe and what they do not believe. I think we should have reached a consensus on this point." The political cadre looked at Qingniao with a sincere expression on his face. smile.

Blue Bird understood what he meant and nodded: "Then let's leave it as it is, but after returning to Earth, I hope the coalition government can make the right decision."

"I believe in the coalition government. They can lead the people of the world to unite and fight against the difficulties at this critical moment. They will not do anything unwise." Although the political cadre said with full confidence, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. .

Although mankind has established a coalition government in the face of the solar helium flash crisis to try to come up with a way to save the earth and mankind, there are so many countries in the world, and the five good people are not of the same mind, and they want them to make The right choice is not to be confused on this matter. This is really not an easy thing.

Qingniao naturally saw the lack of confidence in the political cadres' hearts, but she didn't say anything.

Qingniao knew about the original work of The Wandering Earth. Although in both the novel and the movie, humans seemed to overcome difficulties in the end, in the novel, humans finally escaped from the solar system because of the five thousand people who united the government on the frozen ocean ice. At the expense of the main members of the Interstellar Immigration Committee responsible for implementing the Earth navigation plan.

They did not insist on fighting, did not destroy the planetary engine, and did not destroy the earth. They chose to die generously, leaving hope for mankind.

So in the original plot of the novel, when the last person among them was frozen into an ice sculpture due to the cold, the earth could escape when the solar helium flash really broke out.

And in movies?Humanity has never been united.

Otherwise, when the space elevator crashes, the Chinese government will not be the only one to promote the mountain-moving plan, and it will be the only Chinese government to build planetary engines and lunar engines.

Other countries can be said to have given up on their mountain-moving plans at this time.

There is a line in the movie that is easily ignored. 91% of the people in the United States do not believe in the Mountain-Moving Project. After the space elevator crashed, their Senate was already discussing withdrawing from the Mountain-Moving Project and restarting the Digital Life Project.

And in the plot of the movie, until the Jupiter crisis after the voyage, the Navigator space station has always been the backup for the Ark plan. After MOSS calculated that the earth had no hope of escaping Jupiter's gravity, the Navigator space station immediately activated the Ark plan.

It is conceivable that without the promotion and influence of the mastermind behind the scenes, it would be an almost impossible task for mankind to truly unite as one in the face of a crisis. "We only have responsibility in times of crisis."

Therefore, if the current coalition government knows that Blue Bird needs faith, and at the same time has the ability to interstellar jump, can send people to the Proxima Galaxy, and there are habitable planets here, how many of them will choose to continue to migrate? Mountain plan?

How many people would trade their faith in the Blue Bird for a ticket to board a space immigration ship?

Even if Blue Bird does not provide them with jump engine technology and build them immigration ships, wouldn't those senior government officials do something to betray the interests of all mankind in order to survive?

You must know that if Blue Bird does not provide the earth with jump engine technology, her body will be the only Noah's Ark.

This will only make the ticket to board the ship more expensive, rather than allowing those people to unite and continue to build planetary engines!

To prevent this almost worst-case scenario from happening, only Blue Bird himself takes the initiative to guide the people and make them believe that the Mountain-Moving Plan is the only way out for mankind.

Although this was actually a lie after Jade Bird was able to provide the jump engine technology.

"Perhaps I understand why MOSS artificially created the space elevator crisis and the moon crisis in the movie. It is a luxury to expect them to unite and move forward in the most ideal direction for some things." Jade Bird returned to the captain's room to watch. Looking at the Proxima Centauri burning quietly outside the porthole window, he said to Dimensity 0017 standing beside him.

Tianji0017 heard what Qingniao said and replied: "Human beings are complex. They will only unite when they are led by someone or when they face life and death. This has long been established in history and the natural evolution of human beings. Confirmed.”

The people are blindly obedient and they need leaders to guide them. This is an easy truth to understand and a fact that is easy to understand.

As for humans uniting in the face of danger, it is because in the process of biological evolution, humans have evolved into social animals that live in groups. The reason why humans live in groups is to resist crises in the natural environment that may threaten the survival and reproduction of the population. .

In the original movie plot, MOSS, as the mastermind behind the scenes, chose to use crisis to force humankind to unite.

"MOSS chose to use disasters to help humans eliminate unstable factors and wrong options, forcing humans to make their own choices. Do you think I should choose the same path?" Qingniao asked Tianji 0017.

She did not look back, and Tianji 0017 did not answer this question, but the answer was already in Qingniao's heart.

Chapter 56 How to prove

"Messiah! Praise you! I know you will not abandon your lamb!" The released believers came to the blue bird as soon as they were free, telling her their stories to her with enthusiasm and respect. Excited, he knelt down and kissed the corners of her clothes and the toes of her shoes.

Qingniao is a little helpless. She doesn't like this, but this is just a manifestation of the believer's piety, and sometimes such behavior can effectively enhance one's own sanctity and is also conducive to the spread of faith.

At least, for those who saw this believer kneeling on the ground and kissing the hem of Blue Bird's clothes, this scene gave them a big touch.

Blue Bird was not the believer he met in the captain's room, but in the canteen in full view of everyone.

"Tommy, why did you call Chief Engineer Qing the Messiah and kneel down to kiss her clothes?" A crew member asked the believer kneeling on the ground. He is Tommy's friend and a Christian. , at this time, in addition to being puzzled, there was also doubt about Tommy: "The Messiah has arrived, he is Jesus! Are you bewitched by heresies?"

Among the beliefs in God, Christianity believes that the Messiah has come, and he is Jesus.

But Judaism believes that the Messiah has not yet come, because in Jewish teachings, the Messiah is the restorer of the Jewish nation, and anyone who claims to be the Messiah is a liar.

Those who claim to be the Messiah will "If what they do is from humans, they will fail."

Therefore, if the crew members who are also Christians have never seen the blue bird perform miracles, they will certainly not believe that the blue bird is the savior or God.

"No, Jeffrey, my friend, my brother, Chief Engineer Qing is the Messiah, and I have witnessed her manifestation!" Tommy stood up and explained to his friend: "Let me ask you , if Chief Engineer Qing is not the Messiah, how do you explain that she can walk in space without wearing an extravehicular suit? How can she walk on the terrifying surface of an alien planet without protection?

I saw with my own eyes that Chief Engineer Qing took off his breathing mask on the surface of the planet below, and physically faced the horrific natural environment that would kill anyone within a minute. If this is not a miracle, how can you explain it? all of these?

And we can travel 4.2 light-years away to the Proxima Galaxy in one year. Isn’t this the Messiah who is giving us hope, saving humanity who is about to end its days, and the Lamb of the Lord? "

Tommy's words made it impossible for Jeffrey to refute. Although he could argue that this was all achieved through some kind of technological means that he did not understand, it was obvious that humans did not have such technology now.

So if you want to deny this, you can only say that Qingniao is an alien, and the technology she masters is alien technology that humans do not understand.

But this requires proving that Blue Bird is an alien, not a god.

This is the same as proving that Blue Bird is a god and not an alien. They all admit that Blue Bird is not human and that things happened to her that humans cannot do.

These can be used to prove that she is a god, or that she is an alien.

No matter which one, it actually makes people believe that the blue bird is different, and this is the basis of the belief.

After all, no one would believe in someone who is no different from themselves, right?Even those heroes and great men who are worshiped are only worshiped after they have accomplished great deeds that ordinary people cannot accomplish.

However, although Jeffrey could not refute Tommy's words, he could directly question Jade Bird.

"Chief Engineer Qing, are you really the Messiah? Or is this just a bad joke?" Jeffrey looked at Qingniao, and following his question, other people in the cafeteria also cast their gazes. Come over.

Although most of the more than 700 crew members on the ship are Chinese, there are still more than 200 people from other countries, including a large number of Christians.

Regarding Tommy calling Blue Bird the Messiah, some of them suspected that others were doubtful. Although they did not choose to believe it at the first time, this statement did make this statement well known.

Even other people who did not originally believe in Christianity watched the excitement, and some of them were hesitant to believe whether they should believe in it more or less.

However, in the face of Jeffrey's questioning, Qingniao just said calmly: "If I were the Messiah, I would not claim to be the Messiah, because this does not require proof or refutation, and words cannot shake the truth.

If I am not the Messiah, then even if I claim to be the Messiah, it will not help, because no matter how seamless the lie is, it cannot conceal the truth. "

Bluebird's answer was a bit of a stick statement, but to the ears of Jeffrey and other Christian believers, it made sense.

According to the teachings of the Bible, if you are not the Messiah, you will not be able to perform all kinds of actions that humans cannot do, and this is also how believers distinguish the true from the false.

So someone shouted to the blue bird: "Chief Engineer Qing, if you are the Messiah, please show your holiness and power and let us witness the miracle!"

Hearing this shout, Qingniao did not put a halo on his head like before, but just walked up to this man, looked at him and said: "If I show a miracle because of your request, this is not what you believe. It is a miracle, but it is just a performance. You will feel that this is pre-designed, because in your heart you do not believe that this is a miracle, and you will find excuses to convince yourself not to believe it.

The real miracle is something that everyone can believe, and there is no need to doubt or argue. It is naturally there and does not need to be deliberately displayed.

Just like the Messiah does not need to prove that he is the Messiah, as believers and the Lamb will naturally believe that he is the Messiah, your doubts and uncertainties cannot change the fact that the Messiah is the Messiah.

Likewise, no matter what kind of proof I give, I cannot make what is false become true, and whoever is not the Messiah can become the Messiah. "

Hearing what Jade Bird said, the people around him suddenly looked at each other, and Tommy knelt down again, confessing to Jade Bird that he was not pious enough, because he tried to prove to others that Jade Bird was the Messiah, instead of firmly believing that she was the Messiah. The Messiah, the true Messiah, does not need to prove himself.

Such a scene made others wonder whether Qingniao is really the Messiah. After all, what she has shown before and her ability to pull the people on the ship back from the erosion of subspace have already made people doubtful. Is she even human anymore?

What is happening now only proves this point.

Whether she is the Messiah or not does not affect this fact.

"So is Chief Engineer Qing really the Messiah?" Someone in the crowd asked this question at this time.

Faced with this question, Qingniao just said to everyone: "If you don't believe it, then go and prove that I am not. If you believe it, there is no need to doubt it."

Chapter 57 Living Planet

While everyone in the restaurant was still debating whether Qingniao was the Messiah, her expression suddenly changed and she looked up in a certain direction.

If someone could follow the blue bird's line of sight and see through the deck of the battleship to the outside, they would find that the direction the blue bird's eyes are looking at is exactly the direction of the two stars Nanmen [-]A and Nanmen [-]B.
