In the navigation log of the Wanbang, there are many such recorded videos, but before even the first video is finished, Hao Shen can't watch it anymore, not because the video content is absurd and boring, but purely psychologically. It's the same as when you're eating dog meat hot pot, and someone puts a 60-inch HDTV in front of you, which shows a cute puppy who has always been cute and cute playing happily with its owner, and then someone points to the puppy on the screen and tells you that this is the one you eat - unless it's a psychopath, everyone has to be diaphragmatic for a while.

Anyway, Hao Shen is now full of diaphragm, he holds a half-masturbated meat skewer, his eyes wandering back and forth between the meat skewers and the video, until a long time passes, he realizes what happened:

The captain of the Wanbang has been found!

That's what they eat!

"It's a pig!" Hao Shen jumped up to three feet in one stroke, which was the limit of the bounce power he could achieve with his pure physical strength, so it was enough to explain the shock in his heart at the moment. "That's not right! No, no, no, no, that's not right, right? How is this possible? I rub, how can a pig be an old captain? No, how could the old captain be a pig? Wait, I mean, pigs? ”

Lilith on the side was also confused, she still had a bite of meat in her mouth, she was so stunned, it took a long time to swallow it and she didn't spit it out or react, but in the end she still frowned and swallowed the fragrant meat in her mouth, and then glanced at the messy Hao Shen, and said in surprise: "The world, there are no wonders, today I can see the true meaning of this sentence......

Hao Shen turned his head to look at Lilith, and his tone could be described as terrifying: "You can still eat?" ”

"What's wrong?" After Lilith's surprise passed, her tone returned to flatness, "It's not delicious when it's cold." ”

"No, it's not a question of whether it's cool or not, right? But...... It's a pig, but it's the captain of the Wanbang! We...... Actually ate a sapient creature? Hao Shen's face collapsed, and at this time, he didn't care about the unheard of thing as why the captain of a cargo spaceship was a pig, and now what really cared about it was that they actually ate an intelligent life! And it's skewered and grilled!

This made Hao Shen completely unacceptable, both physically and psychologically!

Uh, well, physiologically Hao Shen has to admit that the captain does taste great, and it can be described as delicious. The reason for this reaction is mainly psychological, but the psychological problem alone is serious enough.

They eat, but an intelligent life that can talk and have feelings, and knows how to pilot a spaceship, and has been sailing in the universe for decades!

"What's wrong with that?" Lilith looked at Hao Shen strangely, she really didn't understand why Hao Shen was entangled in this, "Even intelligent creatures are actually food, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and there are rules on the earth that conform to the natural food chain, which is not a big deal." ”

"But morally?" Hao Shen grabbed his head, "How can we be considered a wise civilization, right?" The reason why wisdom civilization is called civilization is actually precisely because we have a correct moral outlook, and establish values and world outlook based on it, and rely on the correctness of the three views that we can walk in the world in the name of civilization......"

"Ridiculous rhetoric!" Lilith suddenly interrupted Hao Shen's words with a sneer, "If according to your logic, as long as it is a creature with intelligence, it can't be eaten?" There is also a habit of eating animals on earth, right? Your favorite braised pork, the chicken cutlet in the restaurant, are those all from the tree? And even if it is a tree, there is a possibility that it will evolve into a brilliant civilization. If you mind because they can think and have feelings, you don't have to. People on the earth also have the habit of raising pets, some people like to raise pigs, some people raise fish, and some people raise dogs, but these animals are also delicious on some people's dinner tables. ”

"That'...... Not really. Hao Shen touched his head, "But although those animals are very smart, they are not intelligent beings in the true sense of the word......

"What is the intelligent life in your mouth?" Lilith asked rhetorically, and she looked at Hao Shen sarcastically, "Because you can't speak?" Or is it because you can't drive a spaceship? What's the difference between a dog wagging his tail and learning that one plus one equals two and a scientist calculating the trajectory of the stars? Hao Shen, your identity is a quasi-god, but if you really think so, then I think your path will stop here forever. ”

Hao Shen was completely stunned, he thought for a long time, and showed a crying and laughing expression, "From the perspective of information and information...... There is no difference between them...... But why does that sound so awkward......"

If, according to Lilith, it seems to be true, in fact, there is no need to stand at the height of information and treat life in the world equally, then everything is equal, and a smart dog is no different from an astronaut who pilots a spaceship, and even they can be classified as intelligent beings...... Of course, this analogy is a bit inappropriate, let us change a new analogy: a three-year-old child who graduated from kindergarten and has just learned addition and subtraction within ten years and a doctor of calculus and advanced mathematics who graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University have no difference in the level of mathematics: they have both studied mathematics, and the only difference is the deep dive in learning progress, the difference between pure level and experience. A trumpet is not a game character? Is there a difference between a bred earth dog on Earth and a Wang Xingren who has almost reached the interstellar age when he goes down to the pot? Anyway, it's just a pot of fragrant meat......

"Wait, wait!" Hao Shen shook his head suddenly, and he turned his muscles all of a sudden, "What you said is not right." I tell you about morality, but you tell me about everything, that is, looking down on all things from a higher level, there is no difference between them, but first of all, we are not creatures at that level, we should also have feelings and moral constraints. After all, if you follow your theory, cannibalism is also a matter of course, but that is something that only primitive creatures do...... Having a moral outlook, abandoning cannibalism and barbarism, and moving towards a higher civilization is precisely the true meaning of the evolution of life and the development of civilization. You can't veto this! ”

Lilith threw away the iron skewer that had eaten up while the two were talking, clapped her hands, and then shrugged, "Well, I don't veto, you're right, this captain is a sapient being, we really shouldn't eat it." ”

Hao Shen: "........."

This girl actually took advantage of the time between the two of them to talk and ate up the meat skewers in her hand! So what's the use of her saying this now? She just wanted to eat it but was afraid that Hao Shen would stop her, so she deliberately talked so much nonsense, right? And how is this method so familiar? I'm rough, why was it taught by that kid in the system, right?

Seeing Lilith's appearance, Hao Shen immediately reacted, he was completely trapped, this routine, this method, this sense of sight, do you still need to think about it? It's the kid in the system who taught it.

Looking at Lilith with resentment, Hao Shen sighed vigorously. However, in any case, after experiencing this debate with Lilith, the guilt of eating an alien pig captain has been diluted a lot, and he stared at the meat skewer in his hand for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth fiercely and took a bite.

Ma eggs, eat them, although he is a captain, but ...... It's so delicious!

"Lilith, there's a question I want to ask you......"

Seeing that Hao Shen also let go and was ready to eat, Lilith was also slightly relieved, she saw that Sun Xin's second batch of meat skewers in the distance were almost baked, and she was about to go over to get some more, but Hao Shen suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What's wrong? You ask. Lilith looked back at Hao Shen.

"You ......" Hao Shen scratched his head, looking like he wanted to say something, but finally gritted his teeth, "Have you eaten a lot of intelligent beings like this before?" Seeing that Lilith's face seemed to sink, Hao Shen hurriedly explained. …… I don't mean anything else, pure curiosity, curiosity. ”

Lilith's face was indeed a little gloomy at this time, but after thinking for a while, she still shook her head, "No...... Dire is a pure cosmic creature, and eating this energy may not provide much effective energy, we can generally obtain energy directly in the universe, sunlight, dark matter, fusion, particle energy, light waves, gravitational energy, these are our 'food'...... It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that the purpose of eating is not just to get energy, but also to enjoy it! ”

Hao Shen's lips moved, and he said, "It's not going to be Kalia who let you know this, right?" "I never asked.

In the main engine of the Wanbang, there is no more information except for many shipping mission records and the video of the captain of Camlu oppressing the dog and chirping, the reason why this spacecraft passed by here is purely a coincidence, and the encounter with Bengues and being targeted by it is purely because Camlu once conducted a normal briefing and broadcast in this star area: the situation with video. After questioning Bengues, this was also confirmed: Bengues saw this rare delicacy on the radio, and then came out to hunt.

Although in the end, it was Camlu himself who got the captain's blood, it was actually the dog named Hum Chirp raised by Camlu himself.

The fact that pets attack their owners can actually be explained. The dog named Hum Chirp didn't actually regard Camlu as its owner, it belonged to Camlu who was forcibly taken away and raised. Although it stands to reason that dogs are pets that have been bred for a period of time and have the opportunity to treat you as the original owner, or perhaps half of the owner, at least not to the extent that they will easily hurt you, the relationship between Hum Chirp and Cam Road will always be hostile:

Can you imagine a dog recognizing large bones and ribs as its owner? Besides, although dogs are omnivores, if you feed a dog peas every day, it is impossible to raise them - the pea cake pea slices peas crisp peas canned peas in that warehouse, Hao Shen's face turned pale, and then he immediately knew that it was not a day or two to look at Cam Lu's neck!

"So, that's the basic picture." Hao Shen turned off a projection screen and looked at the well-fed crowd (although Sun Xin also responded for a long time after knowing that they were eating an old captain, he still couldn't refuse the food on his lips, in his words, the big foodie empire is fearless, unscrupulous, and unmatched!) It's full of momentum! Then he said, "This Wanbang ship is obviously worthless for our mission, it can't have anything to do with Hathaway and Mottcree, it's just an innocent passerby who was killed by his own dog when he was robbed by a bear child...... Thank you for the food it contributed to us. ”

Everyone felt the same way, Sun Xin even stood upright, and pretended to draw a cross on his chest with a solemn expression, "May there be no huskies in heaven, Amen~~"

"So, you can let me go, right?" Bengus, this metal bear kid also had a mouth full of oil, and at this time he had figured out that Hao Shen's purpose was not aimed at him or a police officer or something like that, and raised his hand with a flattering face, "Look, I've invited you to eat my prey, so can I go?" ”

"Let's go? Then you're thinking too much! Hao Shen took a step forward and looked at the golden bear child, "You should be a resident of this star field, right?" I just want to know something from you......"
