"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed slightly, "However, you may be a little uncomfortable with the existence of the original energy room."
Just this sentence made Shen Shi's complexion change slightly.
A suspicion suddenly crossed his mind.
Staring closely at Sebastian in front of him, he asked word by word: "Why do you say that?"
"This is based on my understanding of you, my lord." Sebastian maintained an apologetic attitude, "In order to serve you better, I need a certain amount of time to get to know you. I'm sorry for causing you discomfort before."
Although the battleship's central AI can connect consciously with its master through a personal terminal, this link is passive and cautious.
Therefore, no matter how advanced the AI is, it must take a certain amount of time to develop a tacit understanding.
At this moment, Sebastian already had a certain understanding of Shen Shi.
For example, he has re-judged his emotional sensitivity. If it were now, he would never have said the word "ghost" in his mouth.
Shen Shi also understood this.
But after he was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "Take me there."
This is his battleship. He can allow himself to be uncomfortable, but he cannot allow himself to not understand it well enough.
This determination based on the desire for control was also conveyed to Sebastian.
He saluted again: "I will follow your will."
The suspended disk under his feet started to move automatically. Shen Shi did not feel the existence of inertia. This wonderful experience dissipated a little uneasiness. After all, he came here to get to know his battleship well.
After passing through a thin film that emitted a soft light, in just the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a metal door.
So fast!
Shen Shi was surprised again and couldn't help but ask.
"Is the movement speed inside the battleship so fast? Or is the original energy room not far from the entrance?"
"Only you have the authority to access the exclusive channel." Sebastian answered.
This is actually to allow the captain to quickly inspect the situation of the entire battleship.
It also prevents the warship from being invaded by outsiders.
Whether it is attack or evacuation, the captain's safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Shen Shi could only say that Future World's products were more comprehensive than he imagined.
However, at this moment, his eyes were focused on the metal door in front of him.
"Can it be opened?" he asked.
This was the first door he had seen since boarding the battleship.
"Your will is everything." Sebastian said this. The door that looked extremely heavy slowly opened, and Shen Shi saw a flash of light on the back of it, accompanied by the burning air.
the smell.
He didn't ask what it was.
He just looked inside the door.
It was a cold and weird room, with a bunch of black "cans" densely placed, and many exposed pipes. The reason why it was weird was because there were lines of unknown reason on the walls, including the ground.
The pattern is slowly changing.
Shen Shi felt dizzy just after looking at those patterns a little more.
It's like looking at hypnotic patterns.
He quickly looked away, not paying attention to those patterns, and his senses immediately felt much better.
Could this be the discomfort Sebastian was talking about?
Shen Shi felt a little relieved.
Focus on these "jars".
"What are these?" he asked as he stepped in and walked in with a slightly relaxed pace.
"Primary energy battery." Sebastian replied, but did not follow in. He just said immediately, "My lord, you'd better not come within 40 centimeters of the original energy battery. You may be shocked by your consciousness."
Shen Shi stopped subconsciously.
But just from this distance, he could already feel it.
Cold, despair, depression...and confusion and fear.
This kind of emotion that kept coming from the outside was like a mist that dispersed in the air, surrounding him bit by bit.
His complexion changed.
This feeling... reminded Shen Shi of the time in the virtual market when collectors couldn't control their emotions and had conscious attacks.
Although it is a completely different feeling, although the level is far from comparable to that of collectors at that time.
but--
"What is...in here?" Shen Shi's throat rolled, and his expression was a little scary.
"E-5 type primary energy battery." Sebastian still answered like this, but the tacit understanding he had begun to cultivate began to take effect. He seemed to suddenly understand what Shen Shi meant, and continued, "The raw materials come from a man named Midel.
Dun's intelligent civilization is the fifth generation of individuals within the E-class civilization that was incorporated into the 'Mude' system."
Shen Shi remained silent.
Although I don’t know what kind of civilization the so-called “Middleton” is, the words “wisdom” and “individual” are enough to show that what is contained in this jar is an intelligent creature!
Intelligent creatures like humans!
Being imprisoned here as a "battery", this feeling of despair will always permeate the air!
Shen Shi held his breath, pursed his lips, and turned around to exit without saying anything.
There is no such thing as "letting it out" and asking for trouble.
However, I am still suffering from some unspeakable emotional impact.
It took a long time until the door closed, and then I slowly exhaled a breath.
"What is the Mulder system?" he asked. "Explain it in a way I can understand."
"You can understand it as a powerful interstellar social system." Sebastian's tone slowed down, "In this system, the top level is the ruling individual 'rancher', and all subordinate civilizations below it are divided into
There are seven levels, sorted by letters, with G level being the lowest level, usually the primitive races that were invaded, captured, and bred by force."
Rancher!
Shen Shi heard this name from a collector.
The original words are "No civilization within the rancher's sphere of influence would dare to sell immigrant warships to us."
Why don't you dare to sell?
Thinking again about the alien invasion that happened three years later, some logic seems to be clear.
Shen Shi turned around and stared at Sebastian closely.
"Tell me, what level are humans at? You are allowed to search for answers from independent information databases!"
"It's D-class, my lord." Sebastian answered quickly.
"Will it be made into a primary battery?" Shen Shi asked again.
"Every twelve home star years, you need to turn in enough benefits, otherwise, you will be punished by taking away 5% of your body count." Sebastian's tone became slower and slower.
Obviously, the deepening "tacit understanding" has made him know how uncomfortable these words will bring to Shen Shi.
However, Shen Shi's body did not sway this time.
Because this is the answer he has already guessed.
"No wonder..." he whispered.
No wonder we can't buy more and more powerful battleships.
No wonder collectors say those things.
Three thousand years later, humanity still has no real power.
