These words caused the temperature inside the bridge to suddenly drop below zero.
Even today, tens of millions of years later, Teresa and Princess Axia felt a chill to their bones when they heard it.
Captain Gao Zunlong was stunned for half a minute, and then his anger was like lava bursting out of the cracked earth, and he was out of control.
He pointed at the tip of Chief Quaker's nose and roared: "Quick, you are betraying!"
"We once had faith, but now we turn our backs on it, which is what we call betrayal.
But we have never actively chosen any faith.
We are just a group of lost dogs chased by the tide.
What kind of betrayal is this?"
Mate Quick said with a smile.
He gave up completely and didn't care about anything.
Captain Gao Zunlong took a deep breath and realized that it would be redundant to talk about beliefs and ideas with people like First Officer Quik.
He said very calmly: "With just 1% of the crew who are still awake, you can't be here."
Rebuild an advanced civilization on this planet."
"Why do we have to build an advanced civilization?
No matter how advanced we are, can we defeat the flood tide?"
First Mate Quick said with an indifferent expression, "Captain, don't you understand?
The advanced level of a civilization has nothing to do with the happiness index of individuals in that civilization.
"Millions of years ago, our ancestors were rich in the entire starry sea and were the so-called overlords of the universe.
They were so advanced, developed, powerful, and great.
"Then, were the Yuanshi people happier at that time?
Weren't there all kinds of wars, until they were finally taken away by a wave of floods!
"Admit it, happiness comes from comparison, not the level of civilization.
If you ask me, we don't need so many redundant technologies, just abandon everything and return to the dreamy life like the Middle Ages, with kings and nobles, There are knights, and there are omnipotent magicians - and we are the aloof kings, knights with swords and singing songs, and omnipotent magicians.
Isn't it good to live like this?
"If only 1% of us choose to live a life that does not require too much technology and does not require too much energy consumption, the rich world in front of us can sustain us for ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years or even one million years. ?”
"It sounds like you have prepared a theme park for yourself."
Captain Gao Zunlong said coldly.
"What's wrong with a theme park?"
First Mate Quick smiled bitterly and said, "Our ancestors, we, and our children have not known what a theme park is for thousands of years, no, tens of thousands of years.
Isn't this sad?"
"The problem with theme parks is that they're fake."
Captain Gao Zunlong said, "When you and all the cowards are hiding on this planet, playing the roles of kings, knights and magicians, playing childish games of house, the flood is swallowing up one after another of the fleeing primitive civilization.
The fleet is constantly growing and growing, and it is constantly approaching here - realize this, you cowards, can you still continue to play?
" "Yes, that's a problem."
First Officer Quik said, "Then, we can cleanse this memory, burn everything about the Flood in our brains, and seal everything about the Flood, the Yuan Dynasty Civilization, and this starship related information.
"In this way, even if our generation will still see the ferocious appearance of the flood in the deepest part of the nightmare, the next generation and the next generation, our children and grandchildren, will always be far away from the fear of the flood.
The wanderings of escape, far away In this vast, elusive damn universe around us, they will become the happiest generation or a hundred generations in the history of the original civilization.
This is what I, as the last first officer of the Emerald, can give to my descendants.
Our best gift.”
"What you call 'the best gift' is to turn yourself and the proud descendants of the Yuanshi Clan into a group of turtles hiding in magical dreams?"
Captain Gao Zunlong said, "So, what should we do if the flood tide comes?"
"When the flood comes, you will die."
First Mate Quaker said calmly, "Everyone has to die, and the world after death is the same.
But after enjoying everything, you can die comfortably; you still have to spend another dark thousand years in despair, resentment, and torture where life is worse than death.
The difference between dying in the most painful way is really huge."

"It seems that you are determined to lead my starship and crew into a ridiculous dream."
Captain Gao Zunlong's voice became calmer and calmer, while the rapid and shining light around him became more and more intense.
The more glaring.
"My choice is a fantasy, so why is your choice another fantasy?"
First Officer Quik turned a blind eye to the blazing flames around Captain Gao Zunlong and sighed, "Collect the resources here and continue another unpredictable voyage, hoping to bump into another ten, a hundred, a thousand or ten thousand."
A million such worlds, re-forming a mighty army, and fighting the tide to the death - other than 'daydreaming', I don't know how to evaluate this choice of yours."
"Enough!"
Captain Gao Zunlong waved his hand, his voice as cold as the shell of a starship soaked in vacuum, "Quick, I have heard enough of your nonsense, which has no fighting spirit, shakes morale, and inflames the morale of the military.
Now, as captain, I I will formally revoke your position and arrest you for treason.
Come on, get this boneless guy!"
No one moved.
All members of the bridge team were like a group of cold and stiff statues, silently watching the argument between the captain and the first mate.
"you……" Captain Gao Zunlong stared at those men who should be loyal to him in surprise.
"Come on, arrest this traitor!"
Captain Gao Zunlong roared.
Still no one responded to his order.
"Don't you understand yet, my Lord Captain, our 'country' was torn apart by floods thousands of years ago?
How can we talk about 'treason' for a bereaved dog who doesn't even have a 'country'?"
Woolen cloth?"
Chief Quaker said, "We have no way to retreat.
There are only two dreams in front of us.
Going with me is a dream, and going with you is a nightmare.
Everyone knows which choice to make!"
"you……" The flames around Captain Gao Zunlong suddenly shrank and became extremely sharp, like a furious hedgehog.
"We are ready to abandon the Emerald for good."
Chief Officer Quick said, "Since the original birthplace of the original civilization, the small blue planet, the proud captains who control the battleships have always had a glorious tradition - when the battleship sinks, even if there are If there is a chance, they will not escape alone, but stay and sink into the deep sea with the battleship.
"Captain, please."
