Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

This phrase suddenly lowers the temperature in the bridge below zero.

Even today, thousands of years later, Princess Theresa and Princess Asha hear, a total chill has arisen.

Captain Gao Zhonglong stood still for half a minute, and his anger was like lava bursting out of the land of tortoises.

He pointed to First Cousin Quick's nose and growled: "Quick, you're a betrayer! ”

“What betrayal would it be if we had faith and now we have betrayed it, but we have never chosen any faith on our own, just a bunch of bereaved dogs chased by Hung Chao? ”

First Officer Quick said with a smile.

He's totally exempt. He doesn't care about anything.

Captain Takashi took a deep breath and realized that it was superfluous to talk about any beliefs and ideas with someone like Vice President Quick, and he said calmly: “With only 1% of the crew still awake, you cannot rebuild an advanced civilization on this planet. ”

“Why build an advanced civilization? If you go any further, will you be able to overcome the flood tide? ”

First Vice President Quick said, "Captain, don't you see, the advanced progress of a civilization has nothing to do with the indices of happiness of individuals in that civilization?

“Tens of millions of years ago, our ancestors were rich in the entire star sea, the so-called cosmopolitan, how advanced, developed, powerful and great it was.

“And then, were the original people happier? There were all kinds of wars until the flood wave finally took them away!

“Admit it, happiness comes from comparison, not from the heights and heights of civilization, and let me say that we don't need so much extra technology at all to abandon everything and go back to a medieval dream life, where kings, nobles, knights, all-powerful magicians —— and we are the kings above us, the knights of the swords, the all-powerful magicians, isn't that a good life?

“If it's just one percent of us, it doesn't take much technology, it doesn't take a lot of energy to live, and the rich world in front of us is enough to sustain our drunken dreams for 10,000 years, 100,000 years or even a million years, right? ”

“Sounds like you got yourself a theme park.” Captain High-john Dragon Coldway.

“What's wrong with theme parks? ”

Vice President Quick laughed bitterly, "Isn't it sad that our ancestors, us, and our children, have been here for thousands of years, no, tens of thousands of years, wondering what the theme park really is? ”

“The problem with the theme park is that it's fake. ”

"When you and all the cowards are hiding on this planet, playing the roles of kings, knights, and magicians, and playing childish homecoming games, Hung Chao is devouring the fleet of ex-civilizations, growing itself and approaching this place -- aware of this, you cowards, can you play? ”

“Nice, that's a problem. ”

Vice President Quick, “Well, we can erase this memory, burn everything in our brains about the flood tide, and seal all information about the flood tide, about the original civilization, about this starship.

“In this way, even our generation will see in the deepest depths of the nightmare the spectacular appearance of the Hong Tide, but the next and next generations, our children and grandchildren, they will always be free from the fear of the Hong Tide, from the exodus, from the vast, indescribable and unchargeable universe around us, they will be the happiest generation or hundreds of generations in the history of the original civilization, and this is the best gift that I, as the last first mate of the Emerald, can give to my children. ”

“Your so-called 'best gift' is to turn yourself and your proud descendants into a bunch of shrugged turtles hiding in magical dreams? ”

Captain Gao Zhonglong said, "So what if Hung Chao comes? ”

“When Hung Chao arrives, he dies. ”

First Vice President Quick calmly said, "People die all the time, the world is the same after death, but after enjoying everything, they die comfortably; or they spend another millennium of darkness in despair, anger and misery than death, and then die in the most painful way, the difference here is too great. ”

“Looks like you're iron hearted to bring my ship and crew into a ridiculous fantasy.” Captain Takashi's voice is calmer and calmer, and the glittering light around him is more and more dazzling.

“My choice is a fantasy, but why not another? ”

First Lieutenant Quick turned a blind eye to the flames of burning bears and bears around Captain High Dragon and sighed, "Gather the resources here and continue on another unpredictable voyage, hoping to crash into another ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, one million worlds like this, regroup a haunting army, and fight the Hung Tide to death - I don't know how to evaluate your options except ‘daydreaming’. ”

“Enough! ”

Captain Gao Zhonglong waved his hand, his voice was as cold as a starship enclosure immersed in a vacuum, "Quick, you unwary, shaking morale, stirring up the heart of the military nonsense, I've heard enough, now I'm officially dismissing you as captain and arresting you in the name of treason, come on, take this boneless man down! ”

Nobody moves.

All the members of the bridge crew looked like a group of cold and rigid statues and watched the captain and first mate fight quietly.

“You…”

Captain Takashi stared at them with amazement and should be loyal to his men.

“Come on, arrest this traitor! ”

Captain Takahiro roared.

Still no one responded to his orders.

“Don't you see, my captain, our ‘country' was torn apart by Hung Chao thousands of years ago, and there is no ‘country’ to lose a home dog, what ‘treason' are we talking about? ”

Vice President Quick said, "We have no way back. There are only two dreams before us. It's a beautiful dream to come with me. It's a nightmare to go with you. Everyone knows what to choose! ”

“You…”

The flames of light around Captain Takashi suddenly shrink and become sharp, like a hedgehog bursting like thunder.

“We're ready to give up the Jade forever. ”

Vice President Quick, “Starting from the original origins of the original civilization, that tiny azure planet, the proud captains of the warships have a glorious tradition —— that when the ships sink, even if they had the chance, they would not escape alone, but would stay and sink into the deep sea with them.

“Captain, please. ”
