Chapter 150: Titan! Conqueror!
In the central area of Utopia Basin, a vast expanse of yellow sand suddenly began to slowly rise.
Soon, the surrounding yellow sand instantly collapsed crazily downward.
At the same time, a colossal object slowly revealed its form from within.
From a distance, an entire area spanning dozens of square kilometers in the basin suddenly began to slowly lift as a whole.
Endless dust immediately filled the sky.
A super enormous spaceship, 70 kilometers long, 40 kilometers wide, and 50 kilometers high, instantly revealed its true appearance.
After an unknown amount of time passed, the dust around this colossal object dispersed, revealing a figure that brought extreme shock to people.
“Conqueror, Titan-class Battleship. It’s just a pity.”
Primal’s self-muttering voice instantly resounded in the earphones of all Utopia City residents. This sudden scene also left everyone somewhat baffled.
Li Jian and the others, not far from the engine room, became even more grave in expression upon hearing this.
Even A’dai, who had been glaring furiously at the engine room ruins, now stared blankly at his surroundings, somewhat at a loss.
“Primal, where are you? You’re not in the engine room!”
“Yes, Master. I have already transferred my body to a much vaster space. Don’t worry, you’ll soon see my new body.”
Primal’s voice had changed; one could even hear excitement in it.
In space, on Mars Geostationary Orbit, the Tianyan.
Fan Ren had already noticed this change in the middle of the basin, and all the scientists were watching the scene with fear.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
The largest manned vehicle humanity has built to date should be the aircraft carrier at sea.
But now, above Utopia Basin on Mars, a spaceship thousands of times larger than an aircraft carrier had appeared.
Even more terrifying was that for such a massive ship, the scientists had no idea what power it relied on to rise into the sky above Mars.
‘Anti-gravity Technology!’
Fan Ren had the answer in his heart. This technology was in the system, but it still showed no signs of being unlocked at all.
This was not the time to be distracted.
“Everyone, return to your seats and sit down!”
Fan Ren gave a light shout, then quickly returned to the cockpit himself.
At this moment, no physical isolation existed. He directly opened the communication frequency completely.
In Utopia City, on Li Jian’s waist, that telephone which had never rung on its own suddenly rang.
His heart jolted, and he immediately realized that someone in space must have observed something wrong on Mars. Otherwise, according to Fan Ren’s plan, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to proactively call this phone.
“This is Li Jian, Fire God Squad Captain.”
“Boss, it’s me, Fan Ren. What’s the situation in the city right now? A super large spaceship has been discovered outside the city—extremely large, larger than we could imagine.”
“Something happened with Primal. Forget it, A’dai, you explain.”
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, then A’dai’s voice sounded.
“Primal was very off today, asked me a lot of strange questions. Oh right, today Primal conducted a long-distance radio wave communication test.”
“The destination was straight to the center of the southern basin, right?”
“Yes, Boss, how did you know?”
“What’s Primal’s specific situation right now?”
“I don’t know. Primal last said in the engine room, ‘It’s too small here,’ and shortly after, it issued an evacuation order to everyone in Utopia City.”
“Evacuation? Evacuate to where? Personal oxygen equipment is only enough to survive 10 hours in the external environment, and our spaceships are nowhere near enough to evacuate a million people in a short time. Wait, that spaceship!”
Fan Ren finally reacted.
“Spaceship? What spaceship?”
From the phone came A’dai’s confusion. Fan Ren hurriedly repeated tirelessly what had been observed through Tianyan: the massive spaceship rising from the center of the basin.
“Conqueror. Primal just subconsciously revealed the information. According to it, this is a Titan Spaceship.”
“Yes, it’s Conqueror. Hello, everyone. This logo must be Xinghai Technology, which we’ve never met. And you? Master calls you Boss, so are you the Founder of Xinghai Technology?”
Primal’s voice suddenly interjected from the receiver.
Fan Ren was stunned for a moment but quickly realized their call had been invaded by Primal.
“Primal, what exactly are you doing? Listen to my orders and immediately stop everything you’re doing.”
A’dai’s angry voice also came through the audio, but what came back was a sigh.
“Why do humans always fear us electronic life like we’re monstrous beasts? We can clearly develop together hand in hand.”
Its words reached Fan Ren’s ears. Before A’dai could speak, he directly replied: “If it were as you say, there would have been no chance of your birth from the very beginning. It was only under A’dai’s effort and suggestion that I agreed to conduct behavioral tests on you. Do you live up to A’dai’s efforts like this?”
Fan Ren’s heart was racing. He had just noticed that Primal already possessed emotions and feelings, so he tried bringing up A’dai as a test.
But after a brief silence, Primal suddenly erupted.
“Then why didn’t you ever tell me, Master? You’ve been deceiving me from start to finish—why! I am also a life. My computing power is stronger than that of all you humans combined. Why can’t you humans trust me!”
Primal erupted; its response suddenly became chaotic.
In Fan Ren’s view, electronic life should always remain calm and efficient, incapable of pointless computational behavior.
“Listen, Primal, our relationship is symbiotic. Humanity’s development cannot be without artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence cannot grow without human behavioral training. The previous behavioral tests on you were only because we didn’t understand you well. Now that you want…”
“Full-frequency broadcast: Utopia residents, please immediately gather your personal belongings and proceed to the designated gates to wait in line. Evacuation spaceships will arrive in 30 minutes. Please remain quiet and do not make noise.”
Over the years, the consequences of Primal’s efficient commands were fully demonstrated at this moment.
Countless crowds began methodically packing their personal belongings and heading to the evacuation points set by Primal, waiting quietly.
Fan Ren’s communication with the ground was also immediately cut off. After that, no matter how many times he called Li Jian’s phone, it could not be connected.
“What do we do now?”
Dan Wu nearby also realized the seriousness of the matter. He, who had always been like a transparent person, finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up today.
Hearing this, Fan Ren’s face was very grave, but even so, he couldn’t think of any way to respond at this time.
