Chapter 44 Gene Date

Sub-type III wormhole space. The mental connection cabin of the mecha Dark Flame.

Su Xi opened her eyes from a state of spiritual satisfaction. This time, she broke through the 'intermediate beginner' level in a very stable and smooth state. The cyan U substance sensed that she had left the state of spiritual power cultivation, and automatically untied the gelatinous state that wrapped around her, turning into a semi-liquid state and flowing on the floor, and then retracted into the original storage device of the spiritual docking cabin.

Then she got down from the chair, and a robotic arm beside her considerately put a coat on her.

She walked towards Fitzgerald curiously. The alpha, who was always meticulous in his appearance, was now rolling up his sleeves and welding something delicately on a folding operating table.

It was a mechanical operating box that was temporarily disassembled and assembled. The intelligent part was directly connected to the main body of Dark Flame, and the welding part that required delicate operations should have been sealed with inorganic tempered glass. However, materials were limited, and the radiation isolation of arc welding light and harmful gases were all handled by a barrier created by an alpha who did not mind wasting his mental energy and directly used his own mind to seal them off.

"Don't come over." The red-haired alpha with his back to her warned her lightly. The faint welding light outlined his tall figure.

"Oh, okay." Su Xi answered obediently and stood still.

"Don't worry, it will be done soon." The tall figure continued to work, but only added, "The welding light can easily hurt your eyes."

"Yeah." Su Xi nodded, but was still very curious.

He smiled as he sensed the curious pheromones of the omega behind him lingering around him.

"Come here," Fitzgerald put down the operating instrument in his hand, took out a protective mask and handed it to her, but he himself was not protected at all, "Put it on."

The mask was a little too big for her head and it was a little crooked. It slipped off when she wasn't paying attention.

A smile appeared in the man's usually indifferent eyes again, as if even if the two of them didn't talk, they could still find endless fun just by quietly dealing with trivial things that they had never cared about in their lives.

The slender hands deftly fastened the protective belt for her and adjusted it slightly.

He took a step back and looked at her, until the big-headed doll with a transparent mask glared at him with her beautiful amber eyes with a hint of anger, and then he withdrew his admiring gaze with a smile.

He stretched out his arms and held her in front of him, instructing her on the mini AI mecha that he was welding. The big structure had already taken shape, and all that was left was the final assembly and connection.

"Want to know the design details?" He easily read the omega's thoughts from her eyes.

"Yes! I really want to!" Su Xi answered affirmatively.

The red-haired alpha tapped the air with his slender fingers, opening the two-dimensional light screen, and the mecha design drawings that had just been written appeared in mid-air.

Su Xi clicked on them with curiosity and looked through them one by one.

The design is very clear. This mini AI mecha has three basic forms: life assistance prototype, combat defense type, and short-distance transportation type. Click on the specific details for a detailed 3D dynamic demonstration.

But... why is the basic prototype so...

Su Xi blinked, looking at this basic prototype of "a half-height cylinder with long rabbit ears", and was a little speechless.

Although the other two forms are very cool, this prototype is too cute and it is hard to imagine that it was created by such a cold-hearted alpha.

However, the other party misunderstood her hesitant look.

He said apologetically, "It's just the original color now, there's no condition for spray painting. After returning to the First Fortress, you can choose the shape and color you like. Chris is best at this part."

"It's not about the color or appearance," Su Xi said, "Why is the prototype a rabbit with long ears?"

She must be facing a wilderness survival situation, right? Why would she bring a cute mini mecha with her?

"She doesn't like it?" Fitzgerald was rarely confused. The girl's delighted expression when Chris gave her the chip he had chosen on the Sun Swallow was still vivid in his memory.

When choosing the appearance of the mecha this time, he searched for the one that best matched the preferences of the 'pebble' chip. This should be the most popular amusement machine appearance among omegas on StarNet this year.

"Do you like it?" he asked frankly.

"I like it! But I'm afraid Xiguang won't like it." Su Xi answered honestly. No girl doesn't like cute pets. Even tomboys have a soft side. But in this situation, she feels deep down that appearance is not the most important thing. The key is to be practical!

"Xiguang?" Fitzgerald thought for a moment. "What's your name for the simplified version of UFO 2.0?"

Su Xi nodded.

Fitzgerald patiently explained, "As a quasi-AI life form, it does not have emotions similar to human 'preferences'. It only has different values ​​for the various settings of the 'emotional component'."

"When passing through the wormhole space, most of the original jade chip was demagnetized and worn out. I have tried my best to restore the original data."

Seeing the flash of sadness in her amber eyes, he suddenly realized what this 'Xi Guang' meant to her.

"Let's try it out later, ok?"

"good."

The quantum clock ticks, slowly passing the time before separation.

We are probably passing through an area where time is passing more slowly, but the normal speed in the mecha docking cabin is not disturbed.

Now comes the final step.

The robotic arm in the control box separated the originally bright light from the storage medium. The originally dull cobblestone completely turned into a handful of dust after being peeled off from the remaining dull blue U medium.

Su Xi's heartbeat quickened for a few moments, and a trace of sadness slowly crept into her heart.

Fitzgerald looked at her, squeezed her hand comfortingly, and then took out a colorless transparent crystal from the sealed black stone box.

That is the Dark Flame storage crystal, produced from the mining area near the Cetus galaxy, and is used exclusively as a storage medium for mechas and large fighter jets.

He operated the robotic arm in the control box to delicately separate a small piece of it.

Then the separated transparent crystals were introduced into the inner core carrying the Xiguang. The crystal clear crystals seemed to be alive, flowing with extremely gorgeous light.

Su Xi took the "Xiguang" carrier and put it into the body of the mini mecha that had been standing still since its completion.

Fitzgerald finished his work and handed her a small earring inlaid with the same transparent crystals.

The communication induction between the same materials is similar to the effect of direct U-link, but it avoids the side effect of U-link directly invading the brain area.

It can be said that it is very thoughtful.

"Sister...sister..." Xiguang's influence and voice were looming, and Su Xi couldn't help it.

Feeling the pheromones of excitement from the omega beside him, he stopped what he was doing, took off her overly large protective hood, and took her hand and stepped back a few steps, leaving enough space for the newly assembled AI mini mecha to move.

"Try it?" He held her hand and spoke in a gentle tone that he didn't even notice.

However, the omega's attention was not on him now. Su Xi took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "Xiguang, are you there?"

"Ah! I'm here!" A slightly hoarse baby voice sounded, accompanied by the slight friction sound when the mini mecha started up.

"Sister! Do I have a new body?"

"So happy! So happy!"

Su Xi shook his hand off and ran forward! They were happily spinning around with their machine!

As the designer and maker who had worked so hard for half a day, he was obviously the most unhappy one. He frowned and shook the empty hand.

But this feeling of 'loss' did not last long.

Xiguang: "Sister, I still like my original look!"

"Can you give me a different one next time?"

"Can I?"

"Can I?"

A sweet child's voice, asking questions repeatedly.

"Of course! I promised you!" Su Xi, who had lost and regained her love, became a "pampering maniac" who would do whatever she asked. She asked happily, "I promise everything! What do you want?"

Then, in midair, a projection of the original setting of 'Xiguang' appeared.

A cute red-haired boy, his big amber eyes blinked cutely! One or two strands of curly red hair stood on his head and kept shaking!

Chubby kicked his feet and rushed towards Su Xi!

"Sister, I want a hug! I want you to lift me up high!"

"And spin in circles!"

Su Xi: ...

Su Xi suddenly realized the embarrassment. She slowly turned her head and fell into a pair of eyes flashing with a slight smile, deep and charming but meaningful.

"Do you like this?" The red-haired alpha began to think seriously.

"My genes are a bit special. The proportion of red-haired people in the next generation may be less than 20%..."

"Ah! No," Su Xi blushed and found it difficult to explain clearly, "This, this is a misunderstanding!"

He looked at her, intently and smiling.

"But if you like, you can apply for genetic customization at the Natural Person Fertility Center."

Fitzgerald suddenly understood what Albert had said before, that omegas are animals who say one thing and mean another.

"The reproduction management of royal genes does have some special restrictions. But as long as you like," he said lightly, "those will not be obstacles."

"I...I..." Su Xi was so anxious that she almost stuttered! How could she explain this! How could they just hold hands and then go straight to the topic of having a baby in a relationship? This was too out of line!

The alpha in front of him, who always had a cold and resolute face, broke through the previous expression restrictions, like a corner of a towering iceberg that had been there for thousands of years melted, and the gentlest smile was rippling in his eyes.

Su Xi felt extremely powerless!

How can we break through this conceptual gap that is as wide as the walls of the universe?

Compared with the most basic social unit of "family" formed by humans on Earth based on the marriage contract to continue genes, ABO society first recognizes the reproductive relationship of genes, and social relations are more of a linear relationship with a social network based on "family" and "bloodline".

Although words like "marriage" and "love" have direct synonyms in the common language of this interstellar age.

But the meaning is quite different.

The alpha's sensitive glandular sensor sensed her confused, frustrated, and flustered mood. Fitzgerald rarely felt the anger of being rejected. Hmm. He was now an alpha who had identified himself as an omega, so he should be more tolerant of the sensitive and fickle emotions in the nature of omegas.

As one of the people with the highest comprehension and self-control, this alpha suddenly realized his nature. His usually domineering pheromones gradually blended with some lingering and gentle flavors on the still strong and powerful pheromone base. It is the responsibility of a mature man to tolerate her changes and indulge her little temper.

He was in a cheerful mood.

The quantum clock ticks, and time begins to pass more quickly.

At this moment, the exterior of the mecha Dark Flame is passing through a 'fast speed' zone. The fierce energy collision has scratched out lines on the exterior coating of the mecha. There is an energy frequency modulation color-changing coating in the collision and confrontation, flowing with an extremely beautiful low-key glare.

If there were intelligent life forms observing them from outside the 'fast time zone' at this time, they would be able to see two slowly approaching figures in the spirit transfer cabin located at the heart of Dark Flame, which slowly froze into an extremely beautiful picture.

Just like the old classic silent movies.

Even if you and I are not in the same world, there is always something that transcends time and space and does not require any extra words.
