"...... 'scientific spirit' and 'scientist spirit' are different, scientific spirit means the pursuit of truth, there is no upper limit at this level, and there should be no limit, but any scientist should be in awe of the universe and nature, seeking knowledge is a natural human right, and it is the mission of human beings, but how to use knowledge must be very careful. The spirit of scientists is the obligation to prevent the wrong practical application of science itself, such as artificial intelligence that reproduces infinitely itself, deadly terrorist viruses, human cloning, etc., not to say that these scientific fields need to be restricted, but that scientists who study these things, in addition to the "scientific spirit", also need to have good intentions and be grateful for the "scientific spirit" of mankind, so that we will not be destroyed by ourselves......

"Security seems to be very tight today." Ling Yu walked up to Payne's side, leaned against the wall, and said casually in a bored manner.

"Actually, Jeunse's father has been here."

Payne, who pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand, spoke quietly.

"Speaker Rasmusson?" Ling Yu clasped his hands in front of his chest and leaned against the wall on the other side of the door.

"Yes, he went to Icarus to visit Wèn, passing through here," Payne coughed lightly, and then deliberately emphasized, "He didn't have to pass by here, the Knights have a direct shuttle to Icarus." ”

"Heavenly Family...... After all, it's heaven's home. Ling Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head gently, "No matter how small the Heavenly Family is, it is also the Heavenly Family. Family affection or something, why not express it earlier. ”

"Yes, God." Payne smiled wryly, as if realizing what he was trying to express, it was all too obvious.

"However, if you want to tell me not to be hostile to Speaker Isaac, then don't worry," Ling Yu turned his head and looked at the knight vice-captain who was more than ten years older than himself, but seemed a little simple-minded - perhaps this was why he couldn't become the captain. Or why he was one of the most devout believers.

Not everyone is a lying and unblinking political animal.

"I don't really like the political family. All political families are, but after all, people are political animals, and if there is anything I must understand, I think I already know a lot of 'necessary evil'. ”

Ling Yu added again. Look at Payne. The latter nodded slightly. Then smiled awkwardly.

"I've heard that you were all officers under Speaker Isaac back then?" After a moment of silence, Ling Yu suddenly asked.

"Yes. We are all his old subordinates, the backbone of the Knights, in fact, most of them are the native garrison formed by the Icelandic Army back then. Payne nodded slightly.

"Winter Arctic War...... But it seems like you're not involved? Ling Yu remembered some of the literature he had read, and also opened the topic.

"It's better to participate." Payne smiled bitterly and pursed his lips, "At that time, the alliance just threw us an order to evacuate the people inland, without any material and personnel support, and our own reserves could not supply a large number of refugees at all, but because of the blockade of ACA submarines, every material had to be supplied to the regular army of the alliance fighting in Reykjavik and Ísafjörður......"

"We, along with the more than 100,000 people in northwestern Iceland, have been completely abandoned." Payne closed his eyes, as if such a memory was a bit difficult, "So we have no choice but to take a chance, otherwise more than 100,000 people will freeze to death in the late autumn in Iceland." ”

"The alliance has already tasted the bitter fruit, and this is the reason for the centrifugation of Britain." Ling Yu raised his head and leaned against the wall behind him, "Some politicians are really ...... Political imbeciles. ”

Payne didn't speak, just a wry smile in cooperation.

"Jeunyse's mother...... What kind of person is he? ”

After a few seconds of silence again, Ling Yu suddenly spoke, asking a question he had always wanted to ask.

“…… Jesse's mother ...... "Unexpectedly, when Ling Yu asked this question, Payne hesitated, Ling Yu turned his head and read a hint of evasiveness in Payne's eyes.

"Jeunse's mother is a single parent, only one mother, she is a graduate student at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Iceland and a student of Marvin." But Payne finally chose to speak, he said very slowly, as if he was trying to recall, and as if he was deleting unspeakable information, "She married Speaker Isaac before the Winter Arctic War, who was still a lieutenant colonel, and the two gave birth to Sauron and Jesse, not long after Jesse was born, the Winter Arctic War broke out, and she introduced Marven to Speaker Isaac in the refugee ranks, and when she was cornered, it was Marven who took a risk. ”

"From this point of view, Marven is the hero of the Icelandic people," Ling Yu shook his hand, obviously not wanting to continue discussing Marven, "Let's continue to talk about Jiesi's mother." ”

"Jess Mother......" Ling Yu looked at Payne, who was facing him sideways, and the knight vice-captain had unconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword with his hand.

"After the establishment of the Knights, Jeunse's mother became an assistant to the Order of Scribes, and she gradually began to indulge in the technology of prehistoric civilizations, and people became more and more withdrawn......" Payne took a breath, turned around, and faced Ling Yu who was leaning against the wall, paused, and exhaled.

"Later, it was she who led the Achilles Project."

"And...... It was she who performed the remodeling surgery on Jeunse. ”

Ling Yu's fingers twitched, unconsciously grasping the clothes under his armpits, he took a deep breath, trying to make his tone appear flat, and then asked.

"I heard she ...... Passed away? ”

"Yes...... Shortly after the end of the first phase of the Achilles program...... Died once...... Real yàn accident. ”

Finally, a trembling finally appeared in Payne's tone, who had been holding back his control, and he raised his head and looked directly into Ling Yu's eyes, "Yes, it's just a real accident." ”

"Really?" Ling Yu closed his eyes and nodded. seems to be assuring Payne that he won't delve any further,

Because he had already vaguely guessed the content of the "real yàn accident".

"After her death, because of the accident, the Knights underwent an internal rectification, and shifted from a complete disregard for ethics and morality and a science-centered line of thought, which led to the Knights today." Because Ling Yu didn't delve into it anymore, Payne breathed a sigh of relief gently, "So, this time it's really an accident." It can't be said to be a bad thing. ”

"There's nothing wrong with pursuing science. Seeking the truth of the world and exploring more accurate laws of nature is what distinguishes humans from animals, and it is also one of the greatest things about human beings. But human beings are human beings after all. in the study of nature. When the truth is explored. It is still necessary to have a humble heart, and try to become a person of God, who is no longer psychologically scientific. Ling Yu sighed. Softly said his opinion, "'So, whenever we look up at the stars, I know that we are part of this universe, I know that we are in this universe.'" ”

"'But perhaps, more important than both of these facts, the universe is among us.'" The blue-robed knight smiled lightly with relief, "Zenn. Verses from Zen. Pencils in The Calling (Note 1). ”

"It seems that we still have a lot of common language." Ling Yu smiled softly, "Few people know Pansos's verses now. ”

Then Helis opened the door.

***

A few minutes ago, just as Ling Yu was leaving Helis's room, Jesse gently patted the white-haired kitten lying on her lap and spoke.

"Herris, give me a hand."

Helis trotted to the right side of the bed, stretched out her hand, and gently supported Jeunse, and the blonde girl didn't rely on the girl much, she got up from the bed, walked to the sunny window, she opened the small box, and then revealed the pink cloak inside.

"Come, Helis," Jeunese reached out to take the cloak out and shake it off, then watched as Helis unfastened the cloak and let the girl gently remove her silver battle cloak.

"Give it a try." Jeunsy smiled softly, stretched out her hand, put the pink cloak on Helis's body, and gently flipped up the hood Jesse smiled happily.

"It's so beautiful, my little Herris must be a big beauty when she grows up." Jeunese crouched down, leaned back, admired her masterpiece, and then leaned back and raised her hand to comb Helis hair, "If only I could see it." ”

Helis's gaze flickered, and the sadness spread gently—in fact, both she and Ling Yu knew that this kind of Cheng Dù's change of clothes didn't need Ling Yu to avoid at all.

Jeunse had something to say to Herris.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm smiling, what are you sad about." Jesse lifted her left hand, her warm fingers gently touching Helis's fair face, she took a breath before speaking.

"Herris...... You call me Sister Jeunse, for so long...... But I know that when it comes to birthdays, you're my sister. ”

"So, there's nothing to worry about if I'm not there after that......" Jesse smiled helplessly, then shrugged, and half-crouched on the ground she looked up, looked at Helis's tearful eyes, and patted her shoulder.

"Well, I'm overthinking, and there's nothing to say, if there's anything to say," Jess took Helis's hand and winked at her, "Be happy." ”

Then, Helis suddenly stepped forward and hugged Jesse, the white-haired girl still didn't make a sound, just hugged Jesse tightly, and sprinkled warm tears on the blonde girl's shoulders.

"Don't cry, I'm the least comforting." Jesse gently hugged Helis and stroked her back with her hand, sobbing slightly, "If you want, can you help me keep an eye on that idiot?" ”

Helis nodded heavily, and this gesture allowed more tears to fall on the girl's clothes.

"I will...... Sister. ”

Suddenly, the white-haired girl opened her mouth and spoke in a clear voice with a crying voice.

"That's nice, your voice." Jess sighed softly, then smiled, "I'm probably one of the few people who are lucky enough to hear the voice of Goddess Helis." ”

He ...... ...... will save you," Helis fingers grabbed the back of Jess and said more, "Don't die...... How are ......."

"I'm sorry......" Jesse finally couldn't hold back her tears, she lowered her head like a little girl who had made a mistake, "but I've tried...... The medical pod of the Order is also good...... The medical module on the space station is also good...... Seem...... There's no hope. ”

"But I'm not sad." Jesse let go of Helis in her arms, gently wiped her tears with her hand, and put her smile back on, "Actually, I'm already very happy, although it's short, but at least it's not inactive, isn't it?" ”

"So," the girl raised her hand to help the silver-haired girl wipe away her tears, and stretched out the little finger of her right hand, "I said yes, live happily, I must have it." ”

"Definitely."

Helis lifted her hand to wipe the tears from her face, struggled to smile that at least looked bright, and reached out to hook Jesse's fingers.

also hooked her life's mission.
