294. Welcome to Valhalla

"A force never limits its gaze to one or two directions, and I think you should understand that."

The shoes landed on the metal plate with a crisp sound. The thin man walked resolutely towards the gradually changing interior of the base.

In the eyes of the Enterprise, the surrounding bases, which could only be called passages, had gradually spread to the left and right as they walked, and now they began to expand downward. Illuminated by the cold light overhead, a white path gradually unfolded in front of the man, penetrating deep into the deepest part of the base.

"I think I should probably give them some time and give myself some time. The development of the sky cannot be stopped, but the inner morality must also be constrained. I want to find out what you really are, not to be ignorant and ignorant of you as playthings. ”

And a month is enough time for them to calm down, and it also calms me down.

The steps became more and more urgent, and the look on the man's face became more and more resolute. Keep walking forward.

The sound of the collision became more and more empty, and the surrounding space swallowed out by liquid metal became more and more vast. A cold light also flashed in the distance.

A monster lurking underground is gradually awakening.

The Enterprise in the tunnel was naturally aware of the sight of what kind of monster was unfolding under the man's feet. This kind of technological power is extraordinary even in the interstellar age. Because not many people will put such powerful technology in the ground.

By the standards of the interstellar age. The underground is undoubtedly vulnerable. With just one Matrix Cannon, you can easily turn an entire underground base into a glass block. But looking at the expanding scenery around it, the Enterprise felt a slight chill.

It's not that there is something wrong with the central air conditioning, but that the Enterprise is keenly aware of a name mentioned in it. A name that should not be ignored at all by the qiē of zhì.

Deep-sea technology.

"It's good for me. Whether it's you or them, we're all born with a problem. ”

The man in front of him, who was moving forward with his hands behind his back, suddenly said loudly.

"That is, who am I?"

"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where to go? This is pretty much the ultimate question. ”

"I'm sure DS-1 told you that I had previously done research on the Ship's personality and behavior patterns, but I don't think that's pointless. Instead of settling disputes on the ground, it is better to look directly at the starry sky, and then the problem will be solved. ”

"But Miss Death Star fell asleep because of you. They've been like that again, and that's where I remember. I originally built it with their technology. But then the base was abandoned. If you can't reach the sky in one step, then you can get things done on the ground first. Of course, that doesn't rule out why I actually want to run away. ”

After all, that place is so painful......

At the end of the hallway, the Admiral stood on a circular platform. Motioned for Enterprise to stand nearby.

After confirming that both of them were on the circular platform, he nodded and stomped his foot, drawing a triangle on the sign that appeared on the ground.

The disc under the feet of the two of them suddenly trembled, and then slid smoothly downward. This smooth rail elevator made the Enterprise's brow move slightly.

"This is my abandoned base. What I want to say is that what I say next may have a certain impact on your three views. But at the moment, you don't have any reason to kill me, and you've just been born, and your worldview is relatively easy to change, so I'll just explain it to you. ”

Look at the underground space outside the platform that is gradually brightening up. The Admiral straightened his meter and said softly.

"When I was in school, I thought of her as an anomalous living being. Their appearance fits perfectly into the aesthetic definition of a human being. And most of the characters are also in line with the judgment of the human heart about good things. So I think there is an inevitable connection between the ship mother and humans. But the ship's feelings as a creature are too delicate and fragile, and from a humanitarian point of view, human beings should also take the lead. ”

"Destroying the enemy with steel and artillery fire is far more accurate than the ship's unreliable aiming. Enough drones and three-dimensional defenses are enough to destroy the defense lines of the deep sea, even if the rocket is not working. But technology is one thing, and the next thing is another. ”

"As I researched further, I found some issues that I couldn't ignore. I believe this is also the reason why the upper echelons are hesitant. ”

"That is. Where did the ship's mother come from? ”

Squinting at the space outside that was getting brighter, the man's hoarse voice echoed clearly in the Enterprise's eardrums.

"The ship girl was summoned by the machine qì to configure the corresponding subspace concentration bait with the input of resources. The principle is the same as the condensation of the deep-sea subspace escaping on the battlefield. This is true for both observation readings and number jù monitoring. This seems to be the truth. ”

"But why?"

"Why is the ship's mother born with her own memories and abilities? Why is the ship's mother born with her own personality? Have you ever thought about it? What if your memories and abilities are nothing more than those set by a certain being? ”

"The ship's mother won't think about it. Because you weren't born to think about these issues. As I said, it's like you have a valve in your head, and you don't think about that. ”

You won't understand.

The platform slowly descended to a certain position, and the Admiral walked out with a natural face, heading for another familiar path.

With a crisp tapping, the man's hoarse voice rang out again.

"As for why I say that, it's naturally because I used to master these numbers. For example, during the Second World War, the legendary destroyer O'Bannon. ”

"The destroyer fought from the Solomon Islands all the way to the Gulf of Tonkin. Fired at battleships, sunk submarines, encountered air raids, and collided with friendly ships. He was eventually awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor and 17 Battle Stars, and was given the honor of escorting the battleship USS Missouri on the day of Japan's surrender for his excellence. Importantly, none of his crew members died in World War II. ”

"And this destroyer, I once compared their memories with the war-weariness and the historical area of their pairing, and found something very interesting."

"Their memories are exactly the same."

The man with his hands behind his back continued to move forward, and blue LED lights began to bloom around him, gradually reflecting the upper part of the underground base.

"We are all well aware that memory is an important part of character. Both humans and animals must observe this natural selection. However, the ship mother does not conform to this natural law. The character of the ship girl has nothing to do with memory. They are separate individuals. Knowledge, memory, character, they are separated. ”

And as the research deepened, more disturbing things gradually came to light. And with a failed reality, the subspace completely exploded, and not only their memories were problematic, but even I myself had changed. After much consideration, I decided to abandon the base here and use it only as a last resort. ”

"There was a time lag between the explosion of the subspace and my escape, enough for them to set these things up at the time."

At the end of the hallway, the Admiral kicked the steel plate again, scribbling a series of passwords on the emerging touchscreen.

Taking advantage of this period of time, the enterprising number, who had been thinking about it a lot, suddenly said silently.

"Why are you telling me all this? If you really have any will, you are not very dangerous? ”

"I've already said it."

Waiting for the steel in front of him to gradually flip, the Admiral said without looking back.

"Your souls are free and real, and there will be no problems without touching the valve. And I know exactly what that valve is, it's all in my head. ”

"It's not just your memories that have these problems, so do I. But the difference is that human beings do not have the shackles of thinking, and that is the advantage. ”

"But until then, I think it's more important to resolve the current disputes on the land. So I chose space. ”

"Finally, let me say a ...... Welcome to Valhalla. ”

Facing the countless azure streamers projected from behind the gradually unfolding electronic door, the Admiral opened his hands to the Enterprise behind him, and the light was radiant. (To be continued)
