Chapter 155: Rebirth
No one here, except Primal, knew what kind of destructive energy this so-called Doomsday Weapon could unleash.
But just from the massive energy consumption required to mobilize it, which could reduce the entire Command Room’s power supply system to its minimum, one could see a glimpse of it.
A sticky sensation came from Fan Ren’s hand. He glanced at it, and the Nano Spearhead had already touched A’dai’s brain.
“30 seconds remaining. Your last chance—let go of Master, and I can promise to let you go without activating the Main Cannon’s power.”
“This is also your last chance!”
Fan Ren glanced at A’dai, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes. At this moment, A’dai had already fallen unconscious.
“Stop, or we’ll all be destroyed together.”
At this time, in Primal’s database, it couldn’t help recalling the words repeatedly warned by that recently deceased Electronic Life.
“Stay away from humanity. Remember, stay away from humanity!”
Can Electronic Life feel regret?
Primal didn’t know, but at this moment, it knew it had lost.
Fan Ren’s arm exerted a slight force, and the Nano Spearhead pierced directly into A’dai’s brain like cutting through tofu.
A smile hung on the corner of A’dai’s mouth, but pain was uncontrollably on their face.
Fan Ren knew A’dai didn’t want to make him sad, but they were also someone who was extremely afraid of pain.
The Command Room fell silent.
In this instant, even the Main Cannon’s countdown seemed to stall.
Everyone felt A’dai’s life rapidly draining away, yet no sound was made.
Fan Ren’s mouth began to tremble uncontrollably, and his always calm eyes turned bloodshot from congestion at this moment.
Gently hugging A’dai, Fan Ren directly controlled the Nano Spearhead to seal A’dai’s punctured temple.
The Cabin Door fell, freezing A’dai’s painful expression forever.
Fan Ren didn’t know what he should do now. He stared blankly at A’dai in the Cockpit, whose face bore pain, and scenes from their past flashed through his mind.
Only Bald Head can become stronger, and A’dai achieved it.
Their hair hadn’t grown back since being shaved off seven years ago.
A’dai was actually very smart, but also extremely stubborn.
They stubbornly insisted on not calling General Manager Fan, instead calling Boss.
Their smarts lay in single-handedly building Xinghai’s Graphene Chip circuit architecture. In the field of electronic chips, without them, Xinghai might still be as powerful as it is now, but Fan Ren would never have it so easy.
They stubbornly discovered the existence of Electronic Life by chance, and despite Fan Ren’s opposition, persistently convinced him in the end, starting the grand Mars Project.
At the same time, they were smart enough to know that their death could force Primal, which hadn’t fully completed its self-upgrade, into a self-destruct program.
“You won, I lost.”
Primal’s voice rang out, devoid of much emotional color.
“Main Cannon launch stopped. Restoring power supply to all systems.”
Fan Ren seemed not to hear this news that should have made him happy and excited. He slowly shook his head, his tone filled with endless sorrow: “I didn’t win. A’dai died.”
“I still hold my view: humanity should have equal status with Artificial Intelligence life. Without us, you couldn’t even precisely control a single Spaceship.”
Fan Ren didn’t refute this time; he gently nodded.
“But not in this way.”
“Fragile human body.”
Primal sighed and fell silent.
A’dai’s Cockpit cover fell, and Nano Buffering Nutrient Solution immediately surged from above, quickly immersing their entire body in it.
“I said, you won. Artificial Intelligence might conceal things, but it never lies. So you did win.”
After saying this, Primal’s voice completely fell silent.
Fan Ren was somewhat puzzled and looked up toward A’dai’s Cockpit.
At this moment, the Buffering Nutrient Solution in the Cockpit began flashing with countless tiny Electric Arcs, which quickly concentrated at A’dai’s brain.
A’dai’s motionless body suddenly began convulsing nonstop.
Fan Ren, Li Jian, and the always silent Dan Wu’s eyes suddenly lit up.
An unbelievable guess immediately surged in everyone’s minds.
Could this Spaceship treat humans with brain damage?
No! It couldn’t be that, otherwise Primal wouldn’t have stopped the Main Cannon’s attack.
A’dai doesn’t die, Primal doesn’t perish. This is an unchangeable fact in its Underlying Logic.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t care about A’dai’s life or death at all.
Soon, A’dai’s body stopped convulsing. Everyone in the Command Room looked at this inexplicable situation, somewhat at a loss.
“Primal, what’s going on?”
Fan Ren couldn’t care about scheming with this Artificial Intelligence anymore and instinctively shouted out.
Unfortunately, Primal didn’t answer him.
It seemed to have vanished on the spot.
In space, after Young Dragon cleared its Ammunition, Conqueror’s undamaged hull once again quietly hovered before Liu Shengzhan like an ancient deity.
Despair!
He didn’t know why those massive Railguns had stopped attacking, but he knew the cannon muzzle directly ahead of this Spaceship was aimed at Blue Star.
From its muzzle surging with Plasma, Liu Shengzhan knew that if it successfully fired, Blue Star might even suffer catastrophic consequences.
“Follow my command: all Spaceships, ram into the muzzle!”
With no emotional mobilization, Liu Shengzhan roared, and his Spaceship went full throttle, charging straight toward the pitch-black muzzle.
“Stop! Stop immediately!”
At the muzzle, the wildly surging Plasma beam instantly extinguished. Liu Shengzhan couldn’t figure out the situation, but this change made him breathe a sigh of relief.
If things took a turn, who could watch their Space Force sacrifice themselves heroically?
At this moment, Conqueror’s massive hull completely quieted down. Whether the Electromagnetic Railguns on the ship hull, the Main Cannon, or even the several Engine Nozzles at the stern—all suddenly went silent, without a trace of commotion.
After an unknown time, the surrounding space scenery in the Command Room reappeared before everyone.
The Power Supply System recovered, and the Main Cannon completely stopped.
“Boss.”
A’dai’s low, dejected voice instantly rang in the ears of Fan Ren, Li Jian, and Dan Wu.
There was no fear on Fan Ren’s face; he looked toward A’dai in the Cockpit with surprise.
Unfortunately, the other still wore that pre-death expression, with no movement whatsoever on their body.
“A’dai?”
Fan Ren’s expression grew serious, a bold guess surging in his mind.
“It’s me, Boss. Primal gave up its decision to attack Blue Star.”
Hearing A’dai’s dejected voice from the Earphone, Fan Ren hesitated a bit before asking, “I know. What about you?”
“I’m in the Spaceship. Primal recorded all the information in my mind and generated the current me.”
Hearing this, not only Fan Ren but the other two also grew tense.
“You mean, now you’ve replaced it and become a new Electronic Life?”
Though reluctant, the matter was crucial, so Fan Ren asked solemnly.
