Chapter 95 Not Worth Remembering
"Master, please forgive me, Mao Li can no longer follow you. I must stay on the Mechanical Planet to save my people," Mao Li said to the feather fan with a face full of guilt.
“You don’t owe me anything. On the contrary, you’ve helped me a lot over the years. Without your guidance, Xiaobai and the others would never have been able to bring me to the Flowing Light Star System. Perhaps I would be dead by now,” Yu Shan said.
"Saving your people is your duty as the second prince of the Mechanical Race. However, I have a suggestion for you—abandon the Mechanical Star, take the reserve data for your people's resurrection, leave the Flowing Light Star System, and go find a new star system," said Feather Fan.
"Leave the Flowing Light Galaxy? Why?" Mao Li asked in alarm.
Having been away from home for over three hundred years, he has always longed to return to his homeland. Although his homeland is now unrecognizable, he believes that with hard work, the mechanical planet can be restored to its former vitality.
However, his master suggested that he take the reserve data on the resurrection of his people and leave his homeland, a reason he could not understand.
"Actually, you should have already figured it out. Although humans seem to tolerate the existence of the machine race, they actually fear the machine race."
On the one hand, they enjoyed the mechanical race's creativity in technology, which far surpassed that of humans. On the other hand, they worried that one day the mechanical race would surpass humans with its powerful and advanced technology.
As the apex predators, they would not allow such a race to grow and thrive.
Therefore, they set a rule to limit the size of the mechanical race to no more than 10,000 people, and forcibly implanted a self-destruct chip into the brain of every newborn mechanical baby. If you violate the rules, you will self-destruct.
But such rules are inherently unreasonable. As fellow intelligent species, why can humans reproduce without limit, and why can the killing of their own kind be punished by law, instead of self-destructing through chips like you do?
Such a star system is not suitable for the survival of the machine race, and it also greatly restricts the progress of your race and technological civilization.
Therefore, I believe that leaving is the best option.
In such a vast universe, there must be a galaxy with a more advanced civilization that can accommodate the free development of mechanical beings. Do you agree?
Yu Shan's words enlightened Mao Li, reminding him that the destruction of the Mechanical Star was due to their self-destructing chips, which prevented them from hunting the zombie humans.
At the same time, the mechanical planet was not allowed to possess large-scale thermal weapons, which led to the annihilation of the mechanical race.
“Master, you are right. I have decided to collect the remains of my people, bury them together, and then leave the mechanical planet with their memories,” Mao Li said earnestly.
Rachel heard their conversation. Compared to her emotional second brother, Rachel was more rational. After a little analysis, she felt that Feather Fan's words made sense.
In fact, many years ago, some members of the tribe had made such a suggestion, but since everyone was born on the mechanical planet, the vast majority of the tribe were reluctant to leave their homeland.
Although the rules set by humans are somewhat harsh, as long as they abide by them, they can live a peaceful life.
In addition, most of the mechanical race people love learning and conduct in-depth research and exploration in various fields. As long as they can live in peace and do scientific research, they can tolerate these unequal rules.
But things are different now. Because of these unequal rules, their race was wiped out, and the high-ranking humans on the central star who set the rules did not send troops to save them.
Such a galaxy is indeed not worth their time.
For the next two weeks, everyone worked together to help Mao Li search for the remains of the mechanical people.
Of the ten thousand tribesmen, only a handful of remains were ultimately collected.
In the end, Mao Li piled up the remains of all his people in that well-sealed chamber, set up an isolation barrier that was enough to preserve them for five hundred years, and then buried them completely.
When he left, he only took his sister Rachel and the Rebirth Device that recorded the memories of his father, mother, and thousands of outstanding members of his clan.
As the warship sailed away from the planet shrouded in gray-green mist, the brother and sister embraced and wept. When it finally broke through the outermost layer of gray mist, they both wiped away their tears, their faces filled with a look of unwavering determination.
Panda seemed lost in thought. He had originally thought that by following Chestnut back to his hometown, he would be able to meet many mechanical people and would no longer be lonely.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, all that was left was another member of the same clan.
However, having one more companion is better than having none at all, so he decided to get to know Rachel, his new partner, first.
"Little sister, how old are you this year?" Panda asked, patting the armrest of Rachel's chair.
The young girl looked up, her dark blue peach blossom eyes shimmering.
She has a face that is 99% similar to her brother's, but because of the captivating light emanating from her eyes, it is easy to tell that they are two different people at a glance.
Aside from their different eye colors, they also dressed differently. Both were seventeen or eighteen years old, but the older brother was dressed casually in a silver-gray sweater and black trousers.
The younger sister, however, was dressed in a smart dark brown riding outfit, and her curly chestnut hair was braided into a loose plait.
If the older brother is a gentle, scholarly neighbor, then the younger sister is seemingly charming, but in reality, a sharp sword ready to be drawn at any moment.
The frail girl who cried in her brother's arms when she first woke up transformed into a completely different person in just a few days.
This made Panda exclaim: Women are so fickle!
The fickle girl glanced at the panda indifferently and said, "I have been born for 436 years, and you are just an ugly little thing who was born in 348 years and whose consciousness has only existed for a short 60 years. Where do you get the confidence to call me sister?"
In just one sentence, Panda was utterly devastated. If it weren't for the rationality of the mechanical race, Panda would have been tempted to activate its self-destruct program.
“Rachel, don’t be so rude! Panda is one of us, and he’s also my friend and partner.”
"Although we haven't known each other for very long, we've been through a lot of hardships together with our master," Mao Li said gently, trying to comfort his sister.
"Fine, for my brother's sake, I'll forgive your ignorance for now." Rachel rolled her eyes at Panda.
Panda was trembling with anger, but considering that the girl had just woken up and was forced to witness the extinction of her tribe, he decided not to argue with her for now.
Panda didn't care, but Rachel said to Chestnut with a sullen face, "Second brother, shouldn't you explain to me why the dignified second prince of the mechanical race would humbly acknowledge a human woman as his master?"
She's not as pretty as most of the girls in our machine race, and her ability level isn't high either. What right does she have to be your master?
