"good."

Xia Moli said no more.

She is channeling her mental energy to attack the protective shield located outside Nana's underlying code.

Although Nana is an AI about to be deleted from the data, her underlying code is still firmly protected. Hundreds of billions of lines of code form a firewall, stubbornly attacking anyone who dares to trespass.

This is a battle without gunfire.

Xia Moli is the winner.

She unleashed her terrifying mental power, located the weakness in the firewall, and breached it. She swiftly removed the valves located in the underlying code that restricted Nana to her "female" identity.

Xia Moli checked her spoils one last time and opened her eyes with satisfaction.

Ai Cao also took the little girl back to the warship.

The girl is a robot, and she has been modified for a vacuum environment. However, she does not yet have the ability to move in a vacuum, so Ai Cao carries her, and the two share a jetpack.

Ai Cao removed her oxygen mask and jetpack at the hatch.

She let out a long, comfortable sigh.

Xia Moli, who rushed over to pick her up, was choked by the smell of blood on her and pinched her nose.

"I'll go wash up," Ai Cao said understandingly. "Could you look after the child for a while?"

She gently patted the shoulder of the girl standing next to her. Xia Moli responded with an "Eh," and looked at the mugwort with the girl until her figure disappeared outside the door.

The girl's glassy eyes turned to Xia Moli.

Xia Moli looked at her reflection in the glass eye, took a deep breath, and asked:

"Nana?"
