Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

[Don't forget, there is a [Simulated Development] on our side. Although I can't provide you with direct support, I can ask her to give you some [Development] protection. I will guide you to find the stars first.]

[But before this process, it depends on your own ability. I believe you can do it. ]

"I'd rather you didn't believe me." The captain curled his lips, "This time it can't be considered a friendly help, you have to pay for it."

[Okay, okay, I'll pay for it. I'll give you a satisfactory quote once it's done! Now don't talk about those cheesy credit points. Go for it!]

Tesla walked to the central computer of the spacecraft, put his hands on the control panel, and finally turned his head and glanced at the captain, "Really?"

"Charge." The captain nodded and then stomped his feet violently.

The [Jianmu·Fake] that Beloberg planted in the folding space on his body emerged behind the captain.

Under the captain's feet, illusory vines stretched and grew.

He wanted to transform this fragile ship into a sturdy and renewable fortress.

otherwise.

Tesla and Yuexia rushed into the swarm of insects, and there was a high probability that they would never come back.

Leave request and explanation

Sorry, I haven't updated for several days.

My wife is pregnant and has some health problems. She has been hospitalized in a big hospital in the provincial capital. I will resume updating tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

I would like to make this clear and say that I am really sorry to all the book friends who have been following the updates.

Chapter 182 Simulated Universe·Final Test·Gambling

The tiny green point of light rushed towards the swarm of insects that had almost formed a nebula.

It was a completely fearless and self-sacrificing charge.

At least in the eyes of the insects, this tiny green light is indeed fearless.

The surging nebula did not hesitate at all, and its edges suddenly expanded, instantly swallowing up the lush green dot into its "body".

In the spaceship of [City Builder].

Tesla's face didn't look very good. Out of trust in the captain, she was just suppressing her inner fear.

To be honest, fear is almost inevitable.

Outside the spaceship was the silent deep space. She could not hear the sound of real insects flapping their wings or buzzing, but she could hear the crackling sound of the spaceship's hull, which had not stopped since it rushed into the "bug nebula".

"Captain, are you sure everything is alright?" Tesla could hear the creaking sound of the metal hull of the spacecraft, and his voice trembled slightly.

Unlike Yuexia and the Captain, Tesla is currently considered a data life. If he dies in this pile of bugs, he will truly experience death.

"No problem." The captain narrowed his eyes, feeling Jianmu's condition.

"It's in good condition. To be honest, during the locust plague, [Abundance] hadn't been born yet. The bugs had never seen this kind of power before, so they can't attack us in a short time. Even if they do, I can drive them out. As long as the entire ship doesn't collapse, it'll be fine."

Tesla almost wanted to cry, "Fuck, do you know what a crow's mouth is?"

"People who don't have the power to handle emergencies are called crows. I have the ability to handle them, so I'm not a crow. I'm farsighted." The captain laughed. "Do you know? Just as we were talking, the belly of this spaceship has been bitten through twice."

"Fuck." Tesla cursed in a low voice and didn't want to talk.

"So, don't worry." The captain comforted Tesla, but his heart was not as calm and steady as he appeared.

It is true that the bugs have never seen the power of [Abundance], but the captain can feel that the power of [Abundance] has an inexplicable strange connection with the bugs, just like the left hand hitting the right hand.

In fact, he had this feeling when he faced the Star-Breaking King Worm cultivated by Ruan Mei in the cabin of the space station [Black Tower].

[Abundance] and [Reproduction] seem to be related.

Inside the cabin of the spaceship, Yuexia was not as worried as Tesla. Through the gaps in the vines, she stared blankly at the swarm of insects that covered the sky outside.

To be honest, after almost completely experiencing all the events during the entire locust plague in the simulated universe project, a seed was planted in Theresa Apokalis's heart.

She wanted power.

As the captain was promoted to this universe, Yuexia has never been so concerned about the power of fate and whereabouts.

After all, from the invasion of the army at the space station [Black Tower], to Beloberg's star core snowstorm, to the Luofu ship of the Xianzhou Alliance, the power of the Valkyrie armor and Honkai energy has always been more than enough for her.

However, everything that happened during the locust plague made Yuexia realize that this power was totally insufficient.

Everything he had experienced was nothing more than a fight on the surface of the planet. A real crisis, such as a cosmic locust plague, affected a range measured in light years and star regions. It was simply not something that he, with power comparable to that of an ordinary Destiny Walker, could participate in.

Even a captain with the power of a [Commander] has to be cautious in certain situations.

Even now...

If I also possess the power of a commander, then I won't need the captain's protection, but can stand up and share the responsibility with him.

Just as Yuexia was gazing at the scenery outside the window in a trance, a dazzling golden light whizzed past her eyes, instantly clearing the channel in front of the already shaky spaceship.

"What happened?" Tesla narrowed his eyes that were burned by the golden light and asked loudly.

"Amber King..." The girl's pupils shrank almost into needles under the moonlight. She raised her head and looked at the huge amber body that blocked out the sky in the distant deep sky.

Before they knew it, they had rushed into the central part of the "Bug Nebula".

"Swoosh~" the captain blew a whistle, "Thanks to Amber King for the route! Let's charge!"

Yes.

Unlike Tesla and Yuexia who were inside the spacecraft and had no idea what had just happened.

The captain could clearly sense the vines of [Jianmu·False] spreading all over the spacecraft.

[Virtual Clipper] When his spaceship approached him, the virtual star god who had been passively enduring the impact of the Zerg swarm suddenly swung the huge forging hammer in his hand.

That blow of the hammer killed tens of thousands of bugs, and with the blessing of [Protection], it helped open up a channel for the spacecraft.

The amber light seemed to solidify the space. Space fragments of various shapes formed a stable channel under the power of [Preservation].

The captain recognized the pattern of this channel at a glance.

This is the funnel-shaped space passage that Latio and I created in the [confinement section].

"Go, go, go!"

At the tail of the broken spaceship wrapped in the branches of Jianmu, a huge tubular fungus suddenly burst out a large group of milky yellow spores, pushing the spaceship head-on into the path of the forging hammer.

A subtle sense of dislocation instantly enveloped the three people in the spacecraft.

The captain narrowed his eyes.

Unlike Yuexia and Tesla, whose five senses were disturbed during the space acceleration process, the captain has been able to achieve super senses and accurately control his position in space.

In an instant, they jumped a distance of three light years.

[Hmm? What happened?] Black Tower's voice sounded in his mind, [How did you suddenly jump such a long distance!]

"There's nothing we can do. If we continue swimming in the sea of insects, the spaceship will explode." The captain curled his lips. "It's all thanks to this virtual Clipper that he gave us a ride. Otherwise, the spaceship would have disintegrated after flying a few tens of thousands of kilometers at most."

[......] The Black Tower was silent for a few seconds, [Okay, I am sorry to trouble you, but the bad news is, there is no trace of [Bo Shi Zun] in the area you just walked through, can you go back and swim again later? ]

"If there is a sturdy enough means of transportation, maybe it can be done." The captain raised the corners of his mouth and looked forward.

A train is quietly parked in the cold universe.

[Depending on that train?] Heita's voice was slightly raised, [The Star Core Spirit is not a data life form, she can't use the protection of [Exploration].]

"As far as I know, the train is Akivali's most mysterious creation. Isn't this mysterious train worth a gamble?" The captain raised his lips and looked at the black-and-gold train that was gradually enlarging in his field of vision.

You convinced me.

【Take a gamble.】

Chapter 183 Simulated Universe · Final Test · Boshizun

Disassemble the space, anchor the curvature, confirm the coordinates, and then...

implement!

In the Starry Sky Train, Xing, who was struggling to control the train, suddenly turned back.

Although she is not a digital life, after merging with [Virtual Akivali], she can barely control the movement of the train and has a direct sense of the Starry Sky Train. At this moment, she feels that the train has been invaded!

Bugs?

The gray-haired girl who was looking at the Insect Sea Nebula a moment ago suddenly turned around, holding a baseball bat in her left hand and a rifle in her right hand, and was on guard inside the train compartment.

However, the next second, the figures of the captain, Yuexia, and Tesla suddenly appeared in front of the Star Core Spirit.

"I feel... very bad." Tesla, who was grabbed by the captain's collar, knelt in the train compartment and retched.

"Although it's not stable enough, it's good to be useful. Does Dr. Tesla intend to swim in a vacuum environment?" The captain glanced at Tesla and smiled.

Tesla responded by giving the captain only a middle finger.

The captain shrugged and turned his gaze to the stunned Xing, a smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work."

The Star Core Spirit let go of the rock spear, raised his hand to scratch his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It wasn't hard at all, I was just thrown into Pegana to see the scenery for a long time, and then I got on the train and came all the way here, it was quite easy."

"That was indeed easy." Yuexia's physical fitness was much better than Tesla, the armed scientist. He was dizzy for a while before coming to his senses. "Dr. Tesla and I staged a scene with the City Builders to get their support. Those guys were very smart. After sending us away, the leader of the City Builders was a little skeptical, but he didn't express it directly."

"That sounds like I'm the worst off." The captain shrugged helplessly, "Killing bugs along the way, and being warmly welcomed by the [City Builder]'s cannons, and even having to travel across the universe in the flesh."

[But no matter what, it's good to gather together.] The voice of the black tower sounded in the minds of the three people who were connected to the simulated universe, [Xing, how much do you know about the Star Dome Train?]

"I don't understand it at all." The Star Core Spirit scratched his head. "It's very difficult to control. I know this thing is very hard. I took a lot of effort to stop the train. During the process, bugs kept rushing over to attack the train. However, the bugs couldn't bite it, so they quickly rushed back to the battlefield."

[Just be strong enough, we need you to drive the train in! ]

"Go in?" Xing was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to the "Insect Sea Nebula" outside the car window, "Inside that?"

"Yes." The captain nodded. "Let's try. If the train really can't hold on, I can take you back to the [City Builder] fleet. I have kept the spatial coordinates of that place."

"Captain, wait a minute..." The Star Core Spirit took a deep breath. The girl who seemed to be out of touch suddenly became serious. She stared at the captain and said, "The Black Tower is hiding something from us."

The captain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly nodded, "Are you talking about the fact that virtual star gods are all digital life?"

[......Although I have never intended to hide this, how did you know this?] Heita's voice was filled with doubt.

"I met Akivali in Pegana..."

【How can it be? ! 】

Just by listening to the sound, one can imagine Heita's astonished expression.

[Question: Ms. Xing, geniuses have never placed digital life representing [exploration] in the simulated universe. ]

"But I did see her. She called herself Akivelli, and she told me that virtual star gods are all digital life."

------

In Black Tower's office, ScrewGum and Black Tower looked at each other and fell into silence.

Screw said, "Question: Ms. Xing, can you repeat what Akivalli told you?"

"Akivelli told me that the connected worlds and star tracks are all extremely unreasonable without her, which gave rise to her existence. But Akivelli also said that compared to other simulated star gods, her own power is extremely weak and she can't leave Pegana at all. The Star Train can only run in Pegana."

"She shouldn't have any power, because her existence is 'abnormal'!" Heita's tone was extremely serious, even solemn. "The code of the simulated universe does not share any computing power with Akivelli, so of course she doesn't have any power, because in the final analysis, such a digital life should not exist. The so-called Akivelli was just a background board in the simulated universe!"

"She was born autonomously by the simulated universe? Black Tower, is this possible?" The captain suddenly spoke and asked softly.

"Impossible!" Black Tower's answer was firm. "Even if Akivelli was born in the simulated universe, she essentially does not exist in the underlying code of the simulated universe. In other words, every time the simulation project is restarted, she will be cleared! The simulated universe definitely does not have the soil environment for virtual Akivelli to exist."

The captain said calmly, "Or, she is unique to the Universal Locust Plague project."

"Or, her existence is written into the underlying code of the simulated universe. Which do you think is more likely?"

Black Tower and ScrewGum both fell silent.

"Conclusion: I am more inclined to believe that virtual Akivalli is written into the underlying code."

"Master Boshi..." Heita took a deep breath and sighed, "He has broken through the shackles of the simulated universe and truly started his 'upgrade'."

“Actually, Akivalli did that, too.”

The Star Core Spirit continued Black Tower's words, "I took the train and rushed out of Pegana with her. I had a feeling that was irrational, but I just wanted to believe it."

"She herself doesn't care what her life form is, nor does she care whether the underlying logic is true or false. She just wants to leave her hometown and see the outside world. When she and I rushed out of the lonely world of Pegana, she had truly become a star god, a star god of this simulated universe. She is not a virtual star god compiled by data, but a real star god that belongs exclusively to this simulated universe."
