Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Flight N-177 decelerated successfully.

The patrol ships of the Pan-Asian First fleet had left 11 hours earlier and were expected to catch up with them in 48 hours.

There will be professional pilots to take over the flight and professional equipment to supplement the quality of propulsion for the flight and take them home.

On the other hand, the passengers who survived the hijacking, together with the six air crew members on the flight, voluntarily formed temporary relief meetings to maintain order on the flight and to distribute food and drinking water for the elderly and children, as well as for other passengers.

When the ship returned to its cabin again, many people gave him hugs and thanks.

Others wanted to exchange accounts with him for a virtual community, but for something like a virtual community, the 21st century ark was completely foggy and had to leave behind a string of penguins that made others more foggy.

After lunch, the ark left its seat and rose to the corridor outside the cabin.

The bodies of the two hijackers have been removed and volunteers composed of passengers have been dragged into the already empty biomimetic lounge.

As for the pile of human remains on the ground, no one moved them, as if they were intended to be handed over to their owners and to the Pan-Asian authorities.

It didn't take much time, and the ark quickly found the rusty vintage imitator.

In previous battles, the hijacker in exoskeleton armor had destroyed it in a brutal manner, so it was just a pile of wreckage lying there.

Even so, however, the Ark would like to thank it.

“Thanks.”

Looking at the living body, which no longer moves, the ark closed its eyes and mourned for a while.

It has saved itself twice in just a few days, albeit for a short time and with little dialogue.

Perhaps because he spent too much time with Em, he always felt like he couldn't treat them as machines, especially for AIs like humans.

What can I say?

Probably like seeing your own kids.

“Woo...”

On the way back to the cabin, the ark saw a little girl with a lovely ponytail, Jomo, only seventy-eight years old, sadly wiping tears with her small hands and squatting on the ground sobbing.

Going forward, the ark squatted down in front of her and asked in a comforting tone.

“Are you lost with your family? ”

“My tail... she... she broke. ”

“... tail? ”

Looking up at the ark, the little girl nodded in tears and opened her wrapped right fist, revealing something like a memory card that she pinched in her hand.

“Tail... is Lily's best friend, she sings to me every time I'm sad and comforts me. ”

The little girl's voice was even sadder when she spoke.

She sucked on her nose, looked down at the memory card in her hand and said intermittently with a whimpering voice.

“... don't worry, when Lily returns to Earth, she will fix you if she saves enough change. I'll get you another one, it'll be prettier...”

Ark: “…”

He thought “tail” was something, but he didn't think it was a bionic.

It was also a little embarrassing to think that the biomimetic from Little Egg had activated the whole ship to save himself.

I wish he had money now.

If she had money, she would be compensated according to the most expensive configuration.

But unfortunately, the only thing he has on him right now is borrowing from an Englishman. When the flight arrived, he did not know how much of his “legacy” he could inherit.

“If your tail knew that you were so sad about her, I'm sure it would be very sad...” squatting in front of the little girl on the ark, touching her head and giving her a reassuring smile, “Go find your parents, they're worried about you. ”

“Mmm…”

Perhaps infected by the handsome smile of the sun, the little girl nodded, with tears still hanging in her eyes, but much better than just now.

Standing up and patting her skirt horn, she politely lowered her head to the ark, said thank you and ran away in the direction of the cabin.

Looking at the back of the little girl's departure, the ark pondered for a while before returning to the previous pile of machine wreckage.

He stroked over it for a while, pulling out a black rectangle about the size and shape of a harmonica from the already broken biomimetic chest.

“Is this the memory card? ”

It looks a lot heavier than the little girl's hand, but the interface is basically the same shape.

Is it because the machine is too old?

“… when I get back to Earth, I'll give you a new body. ”

At least change the one that speaks.

Of course, only if you save enough money...

After standing in the corridor for a while, there was nothing else to do on the ark, looking out the window for a while, he turned back to his cabin.

When he returned to his cabin again, people finally let out the joy of the rest of his life after the robbery and stopped whistling at him or doing things that were good but bothered him.

Sitting back in his position, the ark removed the neural interface from the seat and was preparing to connect to the database on the machine to continue charging his knowledge.

However, at this point, not far from his seat, a woman with a good face and a very mature female charm settled the child in the nursery and rose from his seat and walked towards him.

“I want to thank you. ”

Hearing this, the ark looked up at her and recognized the woman, the mother he had saved earlier.

“You're welcome." The ark looked at her and asked, “Speaking of which, where's your husband? ”

“I don't have a husband. ”

“… sorry to ask a heavy question. ”

“Where, it's not what you think," the mature lady, Guan 'er, smiled, "by the way, sir, are you a dormant? ”

Looking at Professor Leonard beside him, he squeezed his eyebrows wildly, and the ark gave an ambiguous answer after thinking about it, although it was unclear what he wanted to say.

“… can you see that too? ”

“After awakening, many hibernating people with longer freezing ages become confused about the moral values and values of today's society, especially marriage and the family. ”

“Like what? ”

“In this era, for example, the traditional concept of the family no longer exists. While some people will still get married, most people will prefer to live alone and have a companion who imitates life in a way that is wholesome. As for love, there are many similar alternatives in the virtual world. ”

The Ark looked at Professor Leonard and gave him an unexpected look.

Professor Leonard shrugged his shoulders and said.

“... she's right, about half a century ago. My father was born to me when I was fifty, through artificial organs and science. I don't have a mother, but I guess I know that my egg feeder is a woman of Italian descent, but I've never seen her. ”

I didn't expect this guy to have a past like this. The Ark gazed at Professor Leonard and opened his mouth without knowing what to say.

“This is too...”

“Forget it if you want to pity me. I think it's actually good. And we all do, and if it's a two-parent family, it's very special. ”

The ark opens its mouth and still fails to understand this strange idea.

He thinks his views are advanced enough to embrace being unmarried for life, and that there is no need to choose someone he doesn't love just to carry on DNA, but he certainly can't accept this random notion of family.

Can a child without a father or mother really have a healthy and complete childhood?

It's always felt that if you want to deprive someone of something that belongs to them from the beginning, you might as well not let it come to the world from the beginning.

It is both to yourself and to your children.

Yet in this day and age, what he does not understand seems to have become a rare and ordinary thing.

His head was a little confused and his instincts told him that it was not good, but philosophy, after all, went beyond his professional scope, and he couldn't say where it was for a while and a half.

“… of course, nothing is absolute, and there are many couples who walk into the hall of marriage, except that today's society is more inclusive and does not exclude, let alone persecute, dissidents. ”

The woman, who was quite mature and feminine, turned around and threw a smile at the ark.

“… and after seeing you, sir, I feel like I believe in love again. ”

This is sort of...

Kick my ass?

Invisibly reading a little enthusiasm from that gaze, the ark hesitated slightly and said with confusion: "... but you don't even know my name. ”

“A name is just a code name, and I value it more because of the mature, steady, reliable, and… hmm, manly feeling on your body? Anyway, it's not like the sissy next to you. I still like you. ”

Upon hearing this, Professor Leonard was unhappy at a moment and rebutted the statement.

“What's a sissy? Which eye do you see...”

Ignoring Professor Leonard, the woman approached with a smile and continued to look at the ark.

“Only you stood up bravely and saved me and my child, and that little girl who helped me, didn't you? If you can...”

“I'm sorry, I already have someone in mind. ”

Although she, like others, has become a memory of the times...

I was surprised by the response from the Ark, which gave a slight look of surprise to the mature face.

Soon, however, the surprise turned into a full smile, she continued.

“I don't mind developing another partnership with you if you feel your mind is overwhelmed -”

Ark: “I mind. ”

Women: "…”
