Arknights, are you a good person?

Muirseth spoke for Qi Yuan: "There's nothing we can do about it. It's normal for a race to be confused when questioning a teenager who's less than 20 years old. When I was 19, I was still an ignorant college freshman, and my eyes were clearer than they are now."

"Cough cough."

Qi Yuan's eyes suddenly became deep. He gently picked up a handful of broken feathers and asked calmly, "Are you curious about how your race has fallen step by step to the state it is today?"

"It's evolution."

Without waiting for Horhaiya to finish, Qi Yuan said with certainty.

"The Creator is not omnipotent. After 13,000 years of extinction, although the existing program has tried to change it again and again, the situation is gradually out of control. After a long period of evolution, your current appearance is the most adapted to the current environment."

"Evolution is not just about becoming stronger. True evolution is about becoming more and more adaptable to the environment."

Qi Yuan's tone was extremely profound.

As for how much Hol Haiya could hear, Qi Yuan didn't know. Anyway, she fainted after hearing it, as if she couldn't bear the weight of this sentence.

"How did I relay it, Mr. Preserver?"

Qi Yuan asked in a low voice.

At his feet, there was a miniature speaker, which was part of the holographic projection device. Directional sound came from the speaker and hit Qi Yuan's ears directly.

"Very good, very good, couldn't be better."

The person on the speaker was quite excited; "I only said two words, evolution, and everything else was just your own idea."

"Also, Preserver is just a code name generated by the Preserver Project. As a human being, I still hope that you can call me by my former human name - Trevor Friston."

"Okay saver, got it saver."

Use your job title when working.

Of course Qi Yuan couldn't answer Holhaiya's question. He couldn't think of evolution, but as a preserver trapped in the darkness underground for ten thousand years, he witnessed the creatures on Terra going wild, evolving from small animals into beast-eared girls everywhere, so he was deeply touched.

472: Jeston, stay strong! (3 more)

The Preserver sighed deeply: "I have sent out distress signals to the starry sky countless times, but no one responded. The emotions accumulated in my heart, and I gradually became withdrawn and violent... Alas, it was really a sad time."

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement. If a person stayed in the dark alone without any hope, he might go crazy.

but--

Qi Yuan carefully comprehended the preserver's words. His logic was clear, his arguments were well-organized, and his words were full of gentlemanly gentleness. To Qi Yuan, he felt like a kind old man.

This contrast is a bit big.

Qi Yuan was the lonely, cruel, and cynical preserver that he met in "Arknights". His current state was really a little difficult for him to adapt to.

What gave him renewed energy?

"You're really good... Find a pair of headphones. The current speaker might be heard by those little animals." The Preserver said slowly.

Qi Yuan found a small Bluetooth headset, calmly put it in his pocket, and put it on after walking a few steps.

"Kristen monitors all communication channels. Theoretically, our conversations will be recorded...but the little animal's efforts are even a little cute in my opinion. I blocked her surveillance and we can talk freely."

The preserver has no face and naturally no expression.

But Qi Yuan felt his eagerness to try, and his strong desire to communicate drew a passionate face in Qi Yuan's mind.

"Elaborate."

Qi Yuan said curiously.

"To be honest, when Columbia introduced the local area network technology, my tentacles immediately extended to this huge local area network, and the bird outside who was playing the role of brain had no idea at all."

The bird that plays the role of the brain is the President of Colombia, right?

"You mean the Pigeon General?"

"You know what, this nickname is quite fitting." The preserver particularly admired Qi Yuan's intelligence.

He continued, "That was ten years ago... or twenty years ago? This tiny change in time is meaningless to me. I met a little girl who lost her parents but still looked up at the sky. She is now Christen. Her desire to explore is so strong that even a violent and lonely person like me can't help but want to help her."

Qi Yuan nodded. He knew about this. The huge rocket in front of him that had just been completed was the product of the Preserver's guidance.

"and then?"

Qi Yuan asked.

"Do you know about Star Pods?" the Preserver asked, but before he finished speaking, the answer came out: "That dielectric protective layer hanging high in the sky can instantly destroy all electronic equipment and isolate electromagnetic waves. It wraps the planet like a cradle. The twin moons above Terra are the product of the refraction of light."

"Originally, I was planning to gather all the energy of the Preservator Project and send a beam of light into the sky to temporarily penetrate the membrane and let Christen pass through. Then, I would immediately commit suicide..."

The Preserver paused, and Qi Yuan felt that he was about to get to the point, so he listened more carefully.

“I don’t want to commit suicide now.”

The Preserver said embarrassedly, "But after emitting all the energy into the sky, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Pigeon Master. It has been looking for the exact location of the Preserver Plan, hoping to dig me out and add bricks and tiles to its play house. But given the current situation in Terra, this can only be playing with fire and getting burned."

Qi Yuan nodded, knowing that this would be difficult to handle.

However, the keeper called him "pigeon master" so skillfully, which shows that he has put his knowledge into practice.

-------------------------------------

While communicating with the directors and gaining public morals, Qi Yuan was thinking about how to solve the problem of preservers.

Muerses squatted down to observe Holhaiya's injury. After observing for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still bleeding, but there is no risk of blood loss. It should be the racial talent. There is a lot of blood."

Muirseth curiously poked Holhaiya's collarbone, and immediately felt a plump rebound.

Muirseth sighed, paused for a few seconds, and then withdrew his hand.

"My heartbeat is surprisingly calm..."

She looked with fear at the exoskeleton armor and polymer jacket that had also fallen to the ground. Such defense was already the top level of individual defense, and could even withstand head-on bombardment from shotguns.

If Horhaiya took off her clothes or wore the most ordinary cloth, she would probably be cut in half, right?

Assessing the scene, the door slowly opened and the white-haired Vaifan walked in. He shook his arm lightly, and the bloody pale brass knuckles fell with a clang and hit the floor hard.

Seria.

The wind blew her long white hair, and Saria said nothing, silent and powerful.

"The information is wrong."

Saria frowned and said, "It was said to be 160 ordinary soldiers, but in fact it was 161. Although it was a trivial mistake, it is better to pay attention to it in the future and don't make it again."

He was looking at Muirseth, after all, the transmission of intelligence mainly relied on her water clone.

"..."

Her confession was met with an unspeakable silence.

"Saria, didn't you meet Jason on your way back?" Muirseth asked puzzledly.

"Who?"

Saria asked back in confusion.

"A middle-aged man who speaks strange words."

"Aren't all soldiers like this?" Saria shook her head. "You saw it at the time. In order to clear themselves of the issue and maintain their pure image, the military made all the soldiers wear self-purchased equipment and the uniforms were not uniform. The situation was quite chaotic. I had to cut the Gordian knot quickly, otherwise it would have delayed them even longer."

Good guy.

I thought Jason was a self-aware man and was very smart to run away halfway.

It turned out that in the chaos, he was treated as a small monster by Saria.

What a shame.

After looking around, Saria calmly walked towards Qi Yuan and greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Qi Yuan. I know about your deeds in Colombia. There is no need to introduce myself in detail."

"I have long admired my name."

When Qi Yuan saw Saria’s dragon horns and calm expression, he immediately felt a sense of security.

It’s really safe.

After saying hello, Saria looked at Christen and said, "From your looks, the development is probably complete and it can be launched. When you return, you can tell me about... the scenery in the sky."

"must."

Kristen nodded firmly.

Qi Yuan, who was watching from the side, frowned suddenly, and the preserver's voice came to his ears.

"This is a lie."

The preserver revealed a shocking fact: "Kristen had no intention of returning. She intended to stay in the sky. Poor Saria was played into the hands of Kristen."

473: Rocket is also a sword

"For the cause we uphold and... my wishes, thank you for your dedication."

Kristen slowly stood up and took out a dozen goblets and deep red wine: "When I came to my senses, you guys were surrounding me."

The Rhine directors came forward one after another and took the cups handed over by Christen, with deep red wine flowing in the cups.

It looked like a normal celebration party.

"What about me?"

Qi Yuan forced his way in, like a clove of garlic being forced into an orange, and also took a champagne glass, poured half a glass of the deep red wine and shook it gently.

The red wine glass was shaking and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Qi Yuan's eyes wandered between the department heads and Christen, occasionally glancing at the rocket above his head, and said casually: "Tell me about this project. It's quite grand. How do you plan to do it?"

"Of course, come with me."

Christen nodded in a humble tone, and took Qi Yuan with him to circle under the rocket.

Qi Yuan had never seen a spacecraft at such a close distance, but he knew that the tallest rocket in history was only a little over 100 meters high, while Rhine Life's rocket was 300 meters high, like a skyscraper.

There are fifty floors, six meters per floor, and the area of ​​each floor is nearly a thousand square meters. Rhine Life wants to launch this thing into the sky.

"It's pretty awesome."

But on second thought, Terra could already make an entire city gallop across the wilderness, so shooting a skyscraper into the sky seemed quite normal.

"The name of the rocket is Wanxingyuan. The bottom 100 meters are all solid energy. What we need to do is not to fly into the sky like firecrackers, but to ascend slowly while collecting data. It will take about two hours to travel the distance from the ground to that barrier."

Qi Yuan nodded. He knew this.

This slow ascent consumes several orders of magnitude more energy than taking off as quickly as possible, but who can blame Terra for having so much energy?

Either it falls from the sky or it grows from the ground.

With Source Stone, you can be willful.

"Above the energy layer are all kinds of biological samples, plants and animals collected from all over Terra. They will face the environment above the dome. There is a very small chance that most of them will die, and there is a greater possibility that all of them will die. But there is no other way. This is the meaning of their existence."

Christen's eyes went up to the very top of the rocket.

"On the upper level, there are various sensors and black boxes. The black box that stores data was installed at Ferdinand's strong request. All kinds of data are stored in it and will be dropped down when the time is right."

Kristen sighed with emotion: "It really carries a lot of expectations."

"The top floor is the real Ten Thousand Stars Garden. According to the observations of astrologers, I made the paths of the stars in the sky into orbits. It runs automatically under a sophisticated system. I told others that it was for the study of gravity, but privately, it is the carrier of my childhood wish."

“When I was a child, I would look up at the sky and observe the place where my parents died. I would imagine myself rising into the sky surrounded by stars.”

When Kristen talks about her childhood, it's as if she's talking about anyone else.

"Are you the kind of person who often psychoanalyzes yourself?" Qi Yuan exclaimed in amazement.

"Not really."

Kristen shook her head. “I never psychoanalyze myself because I know who I am from the beginning to the end.”

She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her large coat and walked calmly around the rocket.

She has a clear self-awareness, a genius mind, and the personality charm of an idealist, so there are so many people around her, at the disposal of Christen, just to fulfill her wishes.

She walked slowly and suddenly said, "Did the Preserver tell you something?"

Good guy.

Qi Yuan nodded. He had been mentally prepared. Kristen, who had a clear purpose, suddenly became his guide. It was definitely not because she suddenly fell in love with Qi Yuan, but because she wanted to talk about some sensitive topics.
