40,000 Years of Cultivation

"Sister Axia, I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, but I don't know exactly what is going on."

Teresa thought for a while and said, "Let's explain this matter slowly. Now, let's check the surrounding area first to find out the condition of the bridge core area!"

It’s a survey. In fact, it’s a clear view of the surrounding area. It is a silver-white space of a hundred meters square. Both the ground and the walls are soft as fine sand and rubber. With a gentle effort, you can submerge in it. Will get a great buffer.

Such flexible materials ensure the safety of crew and equipment when the starship is hit hard.

But the surroundings were empty, and there was no secret way of any mechanism. It was really puzzling for both Teresa and Princess Axia, and they didn't understand what to do next.

Not necessarily, they are going to be kept here for a lifetime, right?

Teresa recalled the details of the attack just now, pondered for a moment, and lightly cut in her palm with a broken knife, cutting out a **** wound and leaving a red palm print on the ground.

Sure enough, the blood droplets in the palm prints were quickly absorbed by the silver-white fine sand. Then, the fine metal sand surging like a fountain, the area became larger and higher, and the height became higher and higher. In the end, it became A pile of silver-white columns that are as tall as a person.

The column was like steel just taken out of the furnace. The molten iron continued to flow down, and soon revealed a tall and fit female silhouette. Soon, the facial features, limbs, fingers and toes were separated, and a vivid statue made of liquid metal. Presented in front of Teresa and Princess Axia.

"what--"

Princess Axia exclaimed.

Not because of the liquid metal statue pouring from the ground, but because the appearance of this statue resembles Teresa!

It can't be said that their facial features are exactly the same, only the amorous feelings between the eyebrows, the heroic temperament, and the feeling of blood connection, like a sister or a mother and daughter.

Teresa was also taken aback, feeling that she was looking in the mirror.

She knew in her heart that the real herself was not what she is now. Why is this liquid metal statue so similar to her appearance made by Eric the "Amoeba"?

Under the shocked gazes of the two, the liquid metal statue was completely separated from the floor, and the details of the face were more vividly portrayed. Even the eyelashes were slender. It—her silver-white eyelashes trembled slightly, and for a while, He even opened his eyes.

Her eyeballs are obviously made of silver-white liquid metal, but they are blooming with rainbow-like brilliance, as if the eyes of dusty eyes are flowing, passing by Princess Axia and staying on Teresa.

"You are finally here, the carrier of the'Witch Gene.'"

The woman made of liquid metal opened her mouth, her voice was silent, and there was no emotional fluctuation, just like a cold machine.

"what!"

Princess Axia covered her mouth in surprise, but she didn't expect this thing to speak.

Although Teresa felt violently in her heart, she was better than Duke Axia after all. She stepped back and took a deep breath, and said, "You, who are you, are you... the artificial intelligence in the central control system of the Emerald?" "

The other party tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "Yes, I am the Jade itself, or to describe it in an older language, it is the central thinking core of the Jade’s fully automatic control system, some kind of super artificial intelligence, you You can just call me-"Emerald"."

"Then what you look like..." Teresa subconsciously rubbed her cheek and hesitated.

"This is the image of Kelly Connor, the last captain of the Emerald. After her death in the battle, the Emerald also ran out of all its energy, and the damage was so severe that it had to enter a dormant state for tens of thousands of years. Repair automatically."

Jade gave a stern look, "At that time, most of the crew who mastered starship maintenance and operation skills were all killed in flight and civil war. According to the "Emergency Handling Regulations", I temporarily took over the duties of the captain and stayed quiet in the dark. Waiting for the arrival of the new captain."

"It turns out that the so-called'Witch Kelly' or the'Crimson Queen' is the last human captain of the Emerald? So, the'Crimson Queen's legacy" is the highest control authority of the Emerald, or rather The captain's throne?"

Teresa suddenly realized, but fell into a deeper confusion, "Wait, what did you call me just now, you said I am... the carrier of the witch gene, what is that?"

"Don't you know it yourself?"

Jade said, "If you are not a carrier of the witch gene, it is impossible to enter the core area of ​​the bridge, it is impossible to activate the automatic defense system, and you are not qualified to talk to me-you will be the first time you invade the core area of ​​the bridge. , Just like the tentacles of that alien being, it was crushed mercilessly."

Teresa knew that the reason for her desperate success was not because of the pitiful "first-level fire control authority", but because of the "witch gene" contained in her blood, what the **** it was!

"It is not an easy task for a super starship like the Domination Emerald to lead the entire exiled fleet to escape from the chase of the flood. It is not an easy task to wander forever on the way to the endless stars."

Jade explained, "Therefore, when every new captain takes office, he must read the logbooks left by all the captains in front and master all their skills in order to be barely competent.

"The brains of carbon-based intelligent life are ultimately unable to digest and absorb such a huge amount of data in a short period of time. Therefore, the Yuanshi clan invented the superior technology of'gene learning', which will provide a large amount of information related to the control, command and battle of the starship All are embedded in gene fragments.

"During the tens of thousands of years in the Wandering Galaxy, every captain of the Emerald will silently cultivate this super gene with infinite wisdom in his body, and pass it on to the next captain, the next captain before he is dying. He has obtained the gene fragments of the previous hundreds of generations of captains, and manipulating the starship becomes his instinct, just like a baby croaking on the ground, it will **** and cry.

"When it was Captain Kelly's turn to leave her inheritance, the situation became more severe-the Jade at the time had only 1% of energy reserves, but the damage range reached more than 90%, which was a standard'big break'. .

"The automated breeding and breeding systems for the crew have been destroyed, which means that the new generation of crews can only rely on natural reproduction and word of mouth, and they will never be able to master the mysterious and complicated starship operation skills. It is expected that in the next thousands of years, it will be impossible. Someone was qualified for the post of captain and led the Jade to fly to the stars again.

"Therefore, Captain Kelly has brought out the genetic essence that has condensed hundreds of generations of captains, exhausted the last energy, copied and sealed, and hoped that after tens of thousands of years, the energy reserves and technical conditions will mature again. When the ship is basically repaired, the descendants of the Jade will extract the code-named'Witch' gene and inject it into the body to become a candidate for the new captain."

Teresa was stunned.

Condensing the genetic essence of hundreds of generations of Captain Jade, it sounds amazing.

However, not long after I had crossed to the Emerald Continent, I had no chance to get in touch with this "witch gene". How could I become a carrier inexplicably?
