"Sister Axia, I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart.
In fact, I don't know exactly what's going on."
Teresa thought for a while and said, "Let's explain this matter slowly.
Now, let's check around and find out the situation in the core area of the bridge!"
It is said that it is an investigation, but in fact, the surroundings are unobstructed.
It is a silver-white space of one hundred meters square.
Both the ground and the walls are as soft as fine sand and rubber.
You can sink into it with a gentle push of your hands.
Even if you hit it hard, you will not be able to see it.
It will be greatly cushioned.
Such flexible materials ensure the safety of the crew and equipment when the starship suffers a severe impact.
But there was nothing all around, and there were no secret passages.
It really made Teresa and Princess Asha puzzled as to what to do next.
It’s unlikely that they will be locked up here for the rest of their lives, right?
Teresa recalled the details of the attack just now, pondered for a moment, and then lightly cut the palm of her hand with a broken knife, cutting a bloody wound and leaving a bright red palm print on the ground.
Sure enough, the blood droplets in the palm prints were quickly absorbed by the silver-white sand.
Then, the metallic sand surged up like a fountain, becoming larger and larger in scope and higher in height.
In the end, it became A silver-white column as tall as a person.
The cylinder looked like steel that had just been taken out of the furnace.
The molten iron continued to flow downwards, and soon the outline of a tall and fit woman was revealed.
Soon, the facial features, limbs, fingers and toes were all separated, and a lifelike statue made of liquid metal.
Presented in front of Theresa and Princess Asha.
"ah--" Princess Axia exclaimed.
Not because of the fact that the liquid metal statue gushes out of the ground, but because the appearance of this statue looks like Theresa!
I can't say that their facial features are exactly the same.
I can only say that the charm between their eyebrows and their heroic temperament give them a feeling of being connected by blood, like sisters or mother and daughter.
Teresa was also taken aback and had the feeling that she was looking into a mirror.
She knew very well that her real self was not what she looked like now.
Why was this liquid metal statue so similar to the look she had concocted by "Amoeba" Eric?
Under the shocked gazes of the two people, the liquid metal statue was completely separated from the floor, and the facial details were more lifelike.
Even the eyelashes were clearly visible.
It - her silver-white eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a while, He actually opened his eyes.
Her eyeballs were obviously made of silver-white liquid metal, but they were blooming with a rainbow-like brilliance, as if the waves of eyes that had been covered in dust for thousands of years passed by Princess Axia and rested on Theresa.
"You are finally here, the carrier of the 'Witch Gene'."
The woman cast from liquid metal spoke, her voice was as smooth as ever, without any emotion, like a cold machine.
"ah!"
Princess Axia covered her mouth in surprise, not expecting this thing to be able to speak.
Although Teresa was furious, she was better than Princess Axia after all.
She took half a step back, took a deep breath, and said: "You, who are you?
Are you... the artificial intelligence in the central control system of the Emerald?
" The other party tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Yes, I am the Jade itself, or to describe it in more ancient language, I am the central thinking core in the Jade's fully automatic control system, some kind of super artificial intelligence, you You can just call me -'Emerald'."
"Then how you look..."
Teresa subconsciously rubbed her cheek and hesitated.
"This is the image of Kelly Connor, the last captain of the Emerald.
After she died in the battle, the Emerald also exhausted all its energy and was extremely damaged.

It had to enter a dormant state and carry out a ten-thousand-year-long battle.
Automatic repair."
Jade said sternly, "At that time, most of the crew members who mastered the skills of starship maintenance and operation were all killed in the escape and civil war.
In accordance with the "Emergency Disposal Regulations", I temporarily took over the captain's duties and quietly worked in the dark.
Waiting for the arrival of the new captain.”
"I see, is the so-called 'Witch Kelly' or the 'Crimson Queen' the last human captain of the Emerald?
In this way, the 'Legacy of the Crimson Queen' is the highest control authority of the Emerald, or in other words The captain’s throne?”
Teresa suddenly understood, but fell into deeper confusion, "Wait, what did you call me just now?
You said I was...'
the carrier of the witch gene', what is that?"
"Don't you know?"
Jade said, "If you are not the carrier of the witch gene, you will not be able to enter the core area of the bridge, nor can you activate the automatic defense system, nor are you qualified to talk to me - you will be the first to invade the core area of the bridge. , just like the tentacles of the alien life, they were crushed without mercy."
Only then did Teresa realize that the reason why her desperate move was successful was not because of her pitiful "first-level fire control authority", but because of the "witch gene" contained in her blood.
What the hell is that!
"It is not an easy task to control a super starship like the Jade, lead an entire exile fleet to escape the pursuit of the flood tide, and wander forever on the endless star journey."
Jade explained, "So, when every new captain takes office, he must read the logbooks left by all previous captains and master all their skills in order to be barely competent.
"The brain of a carbon-based intelligent life cannot digest and absorb such a huge amount of data in a short period of time.
Therefore, the Yuanshi tribe invented the excellent technology of 'gene learning' to transfer a large amount of information related to starship control, command, and combat to All embedded in gene fragments.
"During the tens of millions of years of wandering across the galaxy, every captain of the Emerald will silently cultivate this super gene containing infinite wisdom in his body, and pass it on to the next captain before he dies.
Having inherited the genetic fragments of hundreds of generations of captains before him, it became his instinct to control the starship, just like a baby sucking and crying when it's born.
"When it was Captain Kelly's turn to leave her legacy, the situation became even more serious - at that time, the Emerald only had 1% of its energy reserve left, but the damage range reached more than 90%, which was a standard 'big break' .
"The automated reproduction and training systems of the crew have been destroyed, which means that the new generation of crew can only rely on natural reproduction and word of mouth, and will never be able to master the mysterious and complicated starship operating skills.
It is expected that this will not be possible for thousands of years to come.
Someone is qualified to be the captain and lead the Emerald to fly to the star sea again.
"Therefore, Captain Kelly extracted all the genetic essence that condensed hundreds of generations of captains, exhausted the last energy, copied and sealed it, hoping that after tens of millions of years, the energy reserves and technical conditions would mature again, Jade When the ship is generally repaired, the descendants of the Emerald will extract the gene code-named 'Witch' and inject it into their bodies to become candidates for the new captain."
Teresa was stunned for a moment.
It condenses the genetic essence of hundreds of generations of Emerald captains, which sounds very powerful.
However, he had just traveled to the Emerald Continent not long ago and had no chance to come into contact with this "witch gene".
How could he become a carrier inexplicably?
