Chapter 34 Breaking the Siege
After thinking about it for a long time, Samantha called Jones Moon anyway. She told Jones Moon about Eve's suggestion, and Jones Moon was taken aback.
"I have to say, I'm really not as good as I was back then!" Jones Moon said: "This is not as good as it was back then, in fact, it also includes you." We have been pestering how to get our men to try to get to the overhauled mothership, but we didn't turn around and think about it, the other two motherships are not completely flightless! ”
"You mean, Eve's proposal is valid?"
"Totally established!" Jones Moon said. After she finished speaking, she immediately contacted the Jones people outside to find out the specific situation of the other two motherships. She got the report that both motherships could fly. It's just that because of the overhaul, the ions were emptied for safety, and if you want to attack the earthlings, you must first fly out of the atmosphere to collect ions.
"Gather everyone at once, fly a mothership, and hurry up to collect ions!" Jones Moon ordered: "Remember, be careful, don't let the earthlings stare, concentrate as fast as you can, and then fly up and blow up those artillery positions of the earthlings for me!" ”
There are too many places for earthlings to monitor. Between the two Jones motherships, which were originally thought to be impossible to fly, the movement of the Jones people, and the relatively lax monitoring of the earthlings, also gave the Jones people the opportunity to concentrate their people.
The sudden take-off of the Jones mothership scared the souls of the earthlings' observation posts away. They hurriedly reported, and Zhang Jingyi and Xiang Zidan immediately ordered all the artillery missile trucks to quickly withdraw from their positions and hide in other places as they had arranged in advance.
"Fortunately, there were precautions in advance," Xiang Zidan said, "Their mothership is now flying out of the atmosphere, and it is estimated that they need to collect ions, so they finally gave us a certain amount of time!" ”
"I didn't expect one of the other two ships to take off!" Zhang Jingyi said: "Terrible! ”
As she spoke, she ordered everyone to evacuate quickly and go to a hidden place. This time it is equivalent to withdrawing the siege.
"Look, it's not in vain!" Sister Zhen complained. Of course, she also knew that once the Jones mothership took off, the ground weapons and people of the earthlings would become live targets, and if they didn't evacuate, they would be looking for death. She was dissatisfied that she didn't attack when she could, didn't take the opportunity to take the dungeon, and didn't even try, and as a result, the Jones mothership fell short as soon as it took off.
"It's not in vain!" Xiang Zidan comforted her: "We have killed at least a lot of Jones, and this month has also given the Joneses a taste of being besieged, which is very good." ”
"If you say yes, it's good!" Sister Zhen saw that Brother Zhen was glaring at her again, so she hurriedly said nothing.
After a hectic day, the earthlings finally escaped the tracking of the Jones mothership and became hidden. The Jones mothership also took off because of its own illness, and did not dare to fight. After persecuting the earthlings to flee, they also returned home.
The dungeon was cleared, and Eve contributed a lot, but Samantha did not praise Eve. She was already wondering that she shouldn't let Eve get involved in politics.
"You're not afraid that Eve's influence will outweigh you, will you?" Jones Moon saw Samantha's thoughts and didn't quite agree with her approach: "Isn't Eve able to take on the big responsibilities exactly what you expect!" ”
"You think I'm going to be jealous of my daughter's grades?" Samantha laughed.
"I know you won't," Jones Moon smiled as well. They are old partners and know each other very well: "But I really don't understand why you are wary of Eve!" ”
"She's too earthling!" Samantha replied.
Jones Moon smiled: "You might as well say, she's too much like a traverser!" ”
"It's okay if you say that," replied Samantha, "and there's something about her, I can't tell what it is, and it feels strange." I don't know what kind of person she will be in the future. ”
"Isn't this also a helpless thing, after all, she has half of the genes of earthlings!" Jones Moon said: "Since we can no longer have pure Joneses, I am afraid that going with the flow is the only choice!" Besides, our people seem to be a little bit wooden, and I can't even remember what I was like when I was in my own body. ”
"I can't remember this either!" Samantha sighed and said, "After countless body clonings, we don't know what our ontological age is like. But I think our rationality must be adhered to. ”
"What would you do if we were in the Ontological age, just like Eve is now?" Jones Moon said, "I think you'd better go with the flow, and don't think about artificially transforming Eve's generation." Even if our descendants are more like earthlings, there is no way to do it. ”
Samantha was silent, she couldn't help but admit that Jones Moon was right. It seems that it is no longer possible to use the genes of earthlings to modify Jones people, and to be transformed to be completely like the Jones people in the past. Just imagine, Eve is half against half, the child in Eve's belly, that is 75% earthlings and 25% Jonesians, without the characteristics of earthlings, is it possible?
Xu Yunzhi once laughed at her, in order to make the so-called descendants of Jones people think that they are Jonesians, they will use some means to achieve their goals, and it seems that it is inevitable to do that. But these descendants inevitably have the characteristics of earthlings, and she is really helpless except to listen to nature.
The fact that the Jones people have come this far is really a headache for Samantha. Organic intelligent life forms can only survive by attaching themselves to the cosmic environment, and she does not know whether this attachment contains such changes. Whether this kind of change is good or bad, she doesn't even know.
She suddenly found that the Joneses' long-standing desire to revive the race seemed to be developing by inertia. They are just trying hard, but they have no time to think about right and wrong, and they are powerless to resist the invasion of sudden changes, so they can only settle with what happens.
"Accomplished this goal, I should really rest forever!" She sighed weakly and couldn't help it.
But right now, she's not going to let go. Letting go of something before it is done is really not her style.
She quietly came to the Academy of Sciences alone, to the place where the children were in class. When she got there, it was the end of a class and the kids were out of class.
The noisy and shouting between classes is the characteristic of the school. She observed, and couldn't help but feel regret. She had the Earth kids and the Jones kids mix and match in order to get them alike, but it clearly didn't work out well.
At first glance, the children were all about the same size, tall and thin, not much like Jones. But if you look closely, it's still easy to see the difference.
The test-tube babies of the Jones people are more delicate and less active, always quiet, and their expressions are dull. And those children of the earthlings are obviously more robust and mobile, with rich expressions and rich body language. If there is a child fighting, it must be the child of the earthlings, and they are also the ones who make a noise next to them. And the children of the Jones people just watched, one could even say with expressionless faces, completely uninvolved.
It's clear that the children, although they are in the same environment, don't seem to be able to fit together.
Jones Moon asked her if she remembered the events of her own ontological era, and she really couldn't remember. As for the time when the ontological era was still a child, it was even less impressive. After countless cloning, the memory fragments in my consciousness have long disappeared and can never be recovered!
Could it be that when I was a child, I was like these Jones children with earthling genes in front of me? Or, like those pure children of the earth? She doesn't know!
If she had to choose, when she was a child, she liked to be like these Jones Earth hybrids in front of her, or to like the pure Earth children in front of her, unfortunately, she herself felt that she would rather be like the Earth children! She believes that children should always be active by nature.
Xu Yunzhi said that the effect of Jones people's use of earthling's resources is doubtful, and he is really right.
Worse still, this questionable effect, even if she did everything she could, probably couldn't prevent or correct it. Because this is likely to be a cosmic force, it is impossible to prevent it and there is no way to correct it.
Perhaps, it's not just about resigning yourself to nature, it's about resigning yourself to fate.
With a sigh, she left the children and found Beta. She asked Eve and the recently pregnant people about their condition: "Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, did you?" ”
"All good, Governor!" Beta replied, "I basically check them every two days, so I don't have any accidents!" ”
"Good," Samantha reassured. Beta is also an old friend like Jones Lulu and Jones Moon, and Beta is steady and cautious, not too rough like Lehman: "It's all up to you!" The importance of this matter, I don't need to say more, you must pay great attention to it, and keep an eye on it at any time. ”
"Rest assured, Governor," said Beta, "I will do everything in my power to ensure that they all give birth to their children in good health!" ”
"Good! With your words, I am relieved! Samantha was delighted: "If we do this work and save our race, you will be the first hero!" ”
After she finished speaking, she said hello and left the Academy of Sciences. Before she came to her lodgings, she came across Jones Moon on the way. Jones Moon tells her that all three motherships have been overhauled and are ready to go!
"You still want to fight?" Samantha asked Jones Moon.
"I don't think you can do it if you don't fight, Samantha!" Jones Moon said, "Look, we want to rest, but they won't agree!" If they don't want to stop, why should we? ”
Samantha had nothing to say. Indeed, it was originally planned to close the city gates, and as long as the earthlings did not come to harass them, they would go with them. But behind closed doors, the earthlings actually came out and almost made them lose the Jones mothership. These three motherships are the only ones left of them, and if they want to synthesize special materials for the construction of Jones's mothership, they will not be able to do it for a while. And the mothership is too big to be parked in the field, and passive defense is indeed too troublesome.
But Samantha also vetoed Jones Moon's proposal to go on the expedition, and she didn't want to be distracted by the war. Xu Yunzhi's words seemed to be some kind of curse, lingering in Samantha's heart, making her heart tremble.
"I can see that the levy will be exempted!" She thought about it for a long time and said to Jones Moon: "Just send a mothership to patrol every day to drive the earthlings away and keep them from getting close to the dungeon." ”
