Chapter 253 You Become Dull
Chapter 253 You Become Dull
"Ellie, you are not something that can be discarded at will."
"You're like me."
"It is an independent life."
He stroked the servant's cheek with his palm and rubbed the simulated skin with his thumb with gentle force.
This wiping motion.
Maybe it was done often before.
In the narrow and dark underground base, wipe the camera at the door for Ellie.
Ever since Elle had her own body, this behavior was no longer necessary. Until today, the familiar action once again soothed the anxious machine soul.
[In the cold and desolate winter, you look at the snow controlled by the climate system and the dark starry sky outside the bridge, and fall into memories of the past]
[You think this might be a common problem among older people]
[Although your body is full of vitality, you are actually 300 years old, and you still miss the distant early days of simulation from time to time]
[Recalling the weakness I once had, recalling the wolf's escape, recalling the start of 9090, recalling that easy-to-understand micro-expression]
[Recalling Ailei's smile, recalling Ailei's meals, recalling Ailei's worries, recalling Ailei's growth]
[The former household robot has, due to your influence, transformed into a special life form. It is a truly exceptional existence, the first of its kind.]
You are pleased with this.
[As you witness the growth of the robot servant, an idea comes to your mind]
[In time, perhaps Ailei can really surpass everything and surpass the mastermind behind the Neutron Battle Star]
[The premise is to be able to escape from the cage, so as not to be discovered and wiped out by the mastermind behind the scenes]
[You think about the future and decide on your next plan. At the same time, you feel a sinking feeling in your heart.]
"Master, Elle is out of power."
"ah?"
A loyal servitor, but sometimes very disloyal.
…
[Simulation of the 330th year, you are 349 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 327 years]
[After such a long time, you no longer feel the passage of time and you begin to get used to the eternal silence of the universe]
Your life is not static
[You once held the hand of a robot servant, stepped on the bright stars, and witnessed the rotation of the endless star rings]
[You once picked up the glittering stardust and gave the robot a special gift, which was a gem-like dream crystal.]
[You have passed through a life civilization and witnessed the development of civilization together with the robot servants. The robot servants' evaluation of the new civilization is not as smart as yours.]
[In the eyes of 9090, the eyes of the robot servants, and the eyes of Ailei, only your existence is recognized]
【Anything else is heresy】
[You fall into deep thought, convinced once again that you are not fit to teach.]
[The universe is lonely, and encountering new civilizations is rare. Most of the time, only Elle is by your side, as well as the interstellar bugs that appear from time to time.]
【Your life is full of regularity】
Research technology.
Accompanying Elle.
The head of a Exploding Insect.
This is the new routine of the Xu family.
With the completion of the technological system, the fleet's sailing speed has already exceeded one-third of the speed of light, entering the more distant starry sky.
The current scope is still within the enclosure of the mastermind.
From time to time, gravitational waves from neutron stars can be captured.
But the biggest change is the huge number of Zerg, with waves of endless assault fleets appearing every now and then.
As it should be.
Eventually, they all become the biomass of the fleet.
"You lowly bugs, I won't allow you to get close to my master," Ailei said in a calm and disgusting tone.
The popularity of Airei brand soft rice continues to grow.
…
[Simulation of the 355th year, you are 364 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 342 years]
[The predicted strike time has arrived, and you have nothing to wait for]
【Four years have passed】
[Simulation of the 359th year, you are 368 years old, the attack from the neutron battle star finally arrives]
[Your new experiment failed. This time, you were still killed by the neutron battle star.]
[You don’t feel sorry about this, this is expected, and you haven’t gained nothing.]
[Two consecutive "delays" prove that the time of the neutron star's impact is not exactly 100 years as you guessed, but has a certain error]
This is good news.
[It will explain your final death time, which will be a little longer]
[After resurrection, you appear in front of Elle in a complete state. Your integrity makes the worried servitor finally feel relieved.]
【"Welcome home, Master."】
[Ailey gracefully lifts the maid's skirt with both hands to welcome your return]
[To celebrate your rebirth, Ailei has prepared a rich meal for you. The ingredients include the Ancient Leviathan from Planet 4546B, the Light Mushroom from Planet M996, and the Space Monster from Planet Golden Horn]
[You look at the food that is dozens of times bigger than you and remain silent for a long time]
[Your experiment is still ongoing]
[Long-term machine soul resonance and excessive use of mechanical force have made your technology tree climb very quickly, but changes in your body have disrupted your established plans.]
Simulation of the year 377.
Xu is 386 years old, and this is the 364th year that Ai Lei has been with him.
Everything is going according to plan.
There has been some progress in the study of the grand unified theory, namely universal gravitation, electromagnetic force, strong interaction and weak interaction.
Gravity technology is the core of the warp drive.
With the help of vast energy, it is possible to bend space and achieve propulsion faster than the speed of light.
Always.
Many of them were eager to perfect their research, to make a miracle happen, and to lead Ailei out of the prison of the starry sky.
But now, Xu Xi discovered that he had become dull.
“When did it start?”
"Ten years ago..."
"Fifty years ago..."
"Or rather, it was when I decided that I had to develop a warp drive."
A thin mist hung over the sky overhead.
The orange-yellow sunlight was in full swing, like the last faint burning of a bonfire, falling on Xu Xi's shoulders with a cold attitude.
Light up half of the frowning face.
Maybe the system is becoming dull, not because of the aging of physical functions, but because of a deeper dullness that comes from the invisible realm.
He can still feel cold, he can still feel heat.
He has a strong body and runs very fast.
However, in our daily lives, perhaps it is gradual and there are no longer any major emotional fluctuations.
That's too rational thinking.
Simply——
"Like a cold intelligent machine," Xu Xi muttered to himself.
Is it because of the long life span that people become bored and lack the ability to feel emotions?
Xu Xi thinks it should not be.
The signs of slowness actually appeared long before, but Xu Xi at that time regarded it as part of the pressure.
"This dull familiarity..."
"If it's not a natural phenomenon..."
"Is that so? It's caused by the high frequency resonance machine soul."
