Chapter 50: Peach
Chen Si looked at the six strange characters shining in different colors from the distant other side of the galaxy, traveling through time and space to come to him. After a brief pause in front of him, the six characters began to slowly rotate around him, and finally stopped at a position where the characters shone with turquoise.
Chen Si curiously reached out to touch it, but couldn't touch anything. He wrapped his mind around it again, and this time, he seemed to feel the substance of the word, and there seemed to be something more in his mind.
The virtual shamisen stared at the darkness around her completely faded in amazement, and suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Si, who was still suspended in mid-air. I only heard Chen Si read out six words in a low and slow voice:
"Lan Suli gathers Di Hao."
After the last word was pronounced, the entire space inside the ball was instantly filled with infinite flowing light, and the shamisen that was stunned on the side gradually dissipated in the light, and was replaced by another strange creature composed of light. The creature resembles a dragon rather than a dragon, a horse rather than a horse, with sharp claws on its four hooves, a streamlined torso, and a deer-like head that is slender and ornate. It was flickering with mottled stripes, and behind it there were four tails, on which bright silver flames flew like hair, and its face, which shimmered with holy light, hung in ecstasy that did not fit its image at all.
When Chen Si pronounced the last word in the dark space, the world around him began to tremble, and Chen Si was kicked out of it almost instantly. Chen Si, who had returned to reality, shook his brain, which seemed to have not slept for several days and nights, and tried to open his eyes, and the flickering light around him almost shook that he wanted to close his eyes again. Finally getting used to the light around him, Chen Si squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the flickering white light.
I saw that in front of Chen Si, a strange but holy creature was jumping up and down there, rolling and spinning in the air from time to time, and even spit out balls of light from his mouth. Chen Si rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, but when he looked intently, he found that a large head like a deer occupied his entire field of vision.
Chen Si turned his head in shock and wanted to retreat, but found that he was still hanging helplessly in the air, and he didn't even use his mental power. He had to tremble and turn back to face the creature whose name he didn't know.
"I didn't expect you to be a controller, and you were out of proportion before you went down, mistaking you for a low-level carbon-based life, I'm really sorry, and please don't blame you."
Just as Chen Si was hesitating whether to say anything, the huge strange creature in front of him spoke first, and its voice was exactly the same as the ethereal voice and the voice of the virtual shamisen before.
"You're the thing that just turned into my friend and shamisen? How did you become like this, is this what you are? Now that I've unlocked the controller's password, can you tell me? ”
The alien creature was a little dissatisfied when he heard Chen Si's question, he took two steps back, flicked his tail, patted his chest with his front paws, and said:
"Don't confuse our noble silicon-based life, the Aliens, with the creatures you know on this planet of low-carbon-based life. Yes, that's what I am, but my real body was lost long ago when I became the core of the computation. It's just a semi-virtual body parsed by a lot of programs, but it's much better than when the core system went to sleep! ”
Chen Si tilted his head and looked at the strange creature in front of him with a proud and excited face.
"I had heard about silicon-based life when I was in school, but the Lu Li clan didn't know about it. That, what does it mean to be at the heart of the operation. Also, was that state dormant before I came in? So why is the big ring on the outside still spinning? ”
"It's no wonder you don't know about the Lu Li, after all, your planet was only a backcountry between 0.5 and 0.6 in technology before the starship fragment fell. As for becoming the core of the operation, it is literal. Because the self-healing core of each starship must have an existence similar to that of a supercomputer on your planet to calculate and adapt, and the entire starship except... It seems a bit of a stretch, but in short, I was forced to plug in to drive this repair core, acting as a supercomputer for computing and planning, so you understand? ”
"Starship? Wait, you say starships? What's that? ”
The beast stretched out its claws and scratched its ears.
"A starship is a starship. Oh, if you continue to ask questions like this, you won't be able to answer them in a hundred years! Lord Controller, your inheritance memory has been lost too severely, anyway, don't ask so much now, and then your inheritance memory will awaken, and you will naturally understand this. ”
"Passing on memories? Am I really not an earthling? ”
"Do you think the ants on the planet of ordinary carbon-based life can really wake this thing?"
Chen Si nodded.
"Well, that makes sense. By the way, what to call you, you should have a name, right? ”
"The controller-sama can call me Momo."
Chen Si looked at the tall and proud beast in front of him, whose name was actually Tao Tao, and felt a little speechless.
"This name was given to me by the previous controller, if you want to change it, you can give me a new one."
"Forget it, that's it, this is good. By the way, you just said the former controller, where did he go? ”
Tao Tao shook her head, her face becoming a little lonely.
"When the starship was attacked and disintegrated, in order to prevent the repair core from being destroyed in the attack, he released all his power to hide the core in the starship's mining ship, but he dissipated due to the exhaustion of energy..."
Seeing Taotao's sad appearance, Chen Si didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only divert the topic as much as possible.
"Taotao, how does this repair core work, it looks so huge on the outside, why is there nothing inside? And, if you want to fix it, it's to repair the starship, right? But where is your starship now? ”
"It's simple, you saw the outer spinning ring before you came in, and through that one you collected inorganic materials, stored them in it, and then made parts from the blueprints stored in the system to repair the starship's defects. But now there is only one core left, and if the record of the star map in the system is not unexpected, the entire starship will be blown up in the Zulan galaxy 13 million light-years away. The mining ship entered the system while performing a star jump, but was severely damaged when fleeing, and as soon as it entered the system, the hull collapsed because it could not withstand long-distance space jumps. In order to protect the core, I hid the core in the center of the largest piece of ore, and then the ore was bombarded by the aftermath due to the explosion of the mine ship, and it fell into the only civilized world in the galaxy. ”
