(Chapter 22) God?
The trip of Soma 4 was much smoother than expected, and under the guidance of the local named Kaihew, Gu Fan easily purchased the Queen of Glory and the reserves of materials that may be used in the long run.
In just one night, he threw more than 800 million star coins in the local market, which is a considerable amount of money even in the local tyrant Soma 4.
As a result of this, Gu Fan had to send eleven engineering barges docked inside the Queen of Glory, and after several rounds of transportation, he finally packed all these goods and brought them back to the warehouse.
This is naturally not some impulse consumption,
In the warehouse, where there is almost nowhere to stay, the goods that were originally messily stacked are being sorted and organized under the subdivision and sorting of engineering machine servants.
Those half-human-tall servants are the basic units that were recently unlocked through the technology template, and they are quite comprehensive in terms of functionality, and importantly, they can work almost day and night with only a small amount of energy.
After realizing how good these guys were, Gu Fan immediately ordered the factory to add a supplementary order for 200 units.
At this moment, he is standing in the hanging corridor above the warehouse, looking down at the busy scene in the warehouse, like a foreman who is supervising the work, and the mobile terminal in his hand is recording and displaying the list of materials in the warehouse.
To Gu Fan's surprise, in addition to the basic resources that can be found everywhere, this trip to the market also allowed him to harvest a batch of rare products that are not so common.
For example, there are a total of 200 units of living metal that can regenerate itself.
Although we won't need these for the time being, we can compare the next goals to collect technology templates, or to find traces of observers and humans.
Neither side can achieve results in the short term, and it is always possible to be prepared.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to build a sentinel array......"
The Sentinel Array, a giant space structure developed by the human science department and mounted on a supersensory radar.
Due to its size comparable to that of a satellite, its multiple superimposed detection arrays are large enough to cover most locations in the Milky Way.
In other words, even if you don't go anywhere, you can keep the user informed about anything happening anywhere in the galaxy, just like cheating.
It's a pity that it can't be made.
......
......
There seems to be no problem with the warehouse, and the reserves of ammunition and energy are in a relatively stable state.
That's right...... I don't know if the test results over there have come out.
Not long after, after roughly inspecting the basic conditions of several important facilities, Gu Fan suddenly remembered that he had brought back a special "cargo" from Soma No. 4. ”
Thinking of this, he began to walk towards the medical center at the end of the corridor, but before he could take a few steps, only a few faint whispers were heard in the darkness.
"Great Creator, please bless my people from afar......"
"Give them the strength to free them from the threat of the Great Khan......"
The voice was so faint that if it weren't for the genetically optimized surgery, it would have been hard to even detect its existence.
It sounded like the girl named Lilim was praying to her god.
After listening for a while, Gu Fan finally put on the mask and walked straight in.
As the doors of the medical department opened, a slightly cramped room appeared in front of me, and in the isolation room in the center, Lilim was kneeling on the medical bed, looking like a devotionally praying nun.
Not long after, perhaps hearing the sound of the door opening, Lilim, who had been praying intently, silently raised her head.
She was still wearing the servant outfit brought out from Soma No. 4, and after seeing Gu Fan who appeared on the side, she looked a little overwhelmed.
Gu Fan didn't pay attention to the other party, but walked straight to the medical terminal on the side, and at this moment, the analysis data of Lilim's body and genes had been displayed on the screen.
Sure enough, as he had previously suspected, the genes in the girl's body did have traces of artificial splicing, but strangely enough, the instrument did not detect the original genes belonging to humans in them.
Wasn't the other party created by humans?
At this moment, he couldn't help but take a strong interest in Lilim in front of him again.
Although the other party was very frightened when he was first admitted to the medical department, he has calmed down a lot now, and maybe this is the power of religion.
Looking at Lilim, who was locked in the isolation room, I saw Gu Fan slowly approaching the window.
"Looks like you're getting used to it."
Hearing this, the other party did not give any reaction, still looking at the strange facilities around him and the mechanical arm with a drill bit with a wary eye.
Although she had initially explained to the other party, it was clear that Lilim had not chosen to believe in herself, and that it was like an operating room for evil experiments, and that she had become a pitiful test subject.
In Lilim's opinion, there is no such thing as a twist and turn, but it is just a fall from one hell to another.
Looking at the other party's vigilant eyes, Gu Fan only explained again.
"Relax, this is just an isolated medical pod, I just took some blood samples from you, and I'll release you soon."
But who would have thought that the other party just lowered his head.
"Do whatever you want......
"But remember, one day the gods we follow will return to this universe."
"Then all that has brought us suffering will be punished."
Her words really made Gu Fan a little confused, obviously explained that this was just a simple physical test, why did the other party say that it seemed like he was about to step on the execution ground?
Could it be that there is a problem with the translator? So much so that the other party misinterpreted what I meant?
Anyway, this guy seems to be a little not very smart, and he is a little brainless, which makes Gu Fan's mood a little unhappy.
"God? Since your gods care so much about you, what are they doing while you are a slave? ”
Faced with Gu Fan's question, Lilim gradually fell silent.
"They're just asleep......"
"I think that's just an excuse, and it seems to me that your gods don't care about you at all, and maybe those bastards have abandoned you a long time ago."
The main reason why Gu Fan would show such disdain for the so-called gods was because of the existence of the star gods.
As an ancient race that uses psionic powers, the Star Gods have brought deep suffering to the human race on more than one occasion, and it was once they who claimed to be gods and deceived the young human civilization of the time.
It wasn't until one day that human beings completely saw through the lies of the star gods, and this led to the later battle of the heavenly kingdom.
The moment she heard this, the girl was completely blown up, only to see her stand up abruptly and bared her teeth at Gu Fan behind the glass.
"An unbeliever like you will not understand!"
"How great are our gods, those human beings!"
As Lilim's voice fell......
For a moment, the scene suddenly fell silent.
