First Officer Quick made a gesture of "invite the captain to die".
The members of the bridge team, who were motionless like statues just now, acted like puppets with a cracked shell that didn't exist.
Regardless of the captain's resistance, they tied up the captain and carried him down.
"Now, I am the captain of the Emerald."
Captain Quick smiled, "The last captain of the Emerald—it's time to end this damn fate."
Emerald's liquid alloy was condensed, and his emotionless cold face emerged from the light and shadow.
"In this way, First Officer Quick and some other members of the bridge team carried out a successful 'coup d'etat'. They captured and executed most of the crew members who were loyal to the captain and mission, and abandoned the Emerald, landing on the New world."
Jade said, "Because of some kind of guilt or nostalgia, they named the new world 'Emerald Continent'.
"They extracted a large number of life seeds carried on the Emerald, transformed the environment of the new world, created a stable and prosperous ecosystem, and spread the genes of humans and various animals and plants, and then they were surprised to find that because the spiritual power of the new world It is particularly abundant, and its form of expression is different from any place in the universe. It really looks like the colorful magic in myths and legends.
"They increasingly believed that their choice was correct, so they sealed most of the superior technologies without hesitation, and with the very few technologies still in their hands, they really became the rulers of the new world—became There are high-ranking princes, rangers who sing with swords, and omnipotent, mysterious magicians who call the wind and rain.
"On the other hand, in order to prevent the 99% of the crew who are still hibernating in the depths of the Emerald from waking up, they tried every means to destroy the Emerald.
"It's a pity that the Emerald was a galaxy-class cruiser built 12,472 years ago. At that time, the decisive battle between Yuanshi Civilization and Hong Chao reached the most critical moment. Yuanshi Civilization gathered all the resources and technologies. Create the most cutting-edge galaxy-class cruiser.
"And during the ten thousand years of voyage or escape, a lot of technology was lost, and the Emerald itself was damaged and automatically repaired again and again, becoming completely unrecognizable.
"More importantly, the 'captain' of First Officer Quick is self-proclaimed by him. He has not been recognized by Captain Gao Zunlong and me, so he cannot grasp the core secrets of the Emerald, including the secret of how to self-destruct.
"Even if he and his party want to completely destroy the Emerald, with their already outdated technology, as well as their meager resources and means, this is simply impossible.
"They thought they destroyed the Emerald's survival resource circulation system, cut off the nutrient input of all hibernation warehouses, and blew up a large number of key facilities including the power furnace, so that the Emerald could be completely turned into a pile Scrap copper and rotten iron.
"They think too easily.
"I have been watching their destruction of the starship with a cold eye. Unfortunately, my energy is seriously insufficient to stop them, but it is enough to keep the most critical life-support and reconstruction equipment and most of the life seed banks.
"on the other hand… "
Emerald's silver-white face was hidden in the colorful mysterious light again, and a new scene emerged.
That was the scene where Captain Gao Zunlong was tied up by a group of mutinous crew members and carried to the side of a blazing power furnace.
"Captain, do you have any last words?"
These crew members, as if their conscience was still alive, asked their betrayed captain with shame on their faces.
"No."
Captain Gao Zunlong said expressionlessly, "Put me down, and I'll jump in by myself—this is the final dignity of the Emerald and Yuanshi Civilization."
The rebellious crew hesitated for a while, perhaps because of guilt, or perhaps because they were used to obeying the captain's orders, they really put the captain down, surrounded them in a circle, and dozens of guns pointed at each other. quasi-captain.
Captain Gao Zunlong slowly moved his wrists and ankles, turned around, and looked around with sharp eyes.
All the crew members he glanced at bowed their heads in shame.
Captain Gao Zunlong snorted disdainfully, straightened his clothes, strode towards the power furnace, and stopped suddenly when he reached the mouth of the power furnace.
Only then did the crew members realize that the captain was using the dazzling flames of the power furnace as cover, his lips were trembling rapidly, and hundreds of handprints were formed on his hands in an instant, leaving substantial light patterns in the void, hundreds of rays of light The patterns together constitute an intricate and unfathomable energy maze.
This energy labyrinth seems to be able to tear apart the unbreakable barrier between the three-dimensional universe and the four-dimensional space, where extremely violent energy is condensing, gathering, and ready to go.
And all of this was covered up by the scorching heat of the power furnace.
"not good!"
The crew screamed and pulled the trigger.
It was too late.
In an instant, Captain Gao Zunlong turned into a crystal clear glass statue, and the energy maze in front of him exploded fiercely. The berserk spiritual energy from the four-dimensional space was like thousands of destructive spears, piercing all the crew members in an instant.
When the dazzling white turned into ink-like black again, there was no one alive in front of the power furnace—including Captain Gao Zunlong.
The captain used his body as an outlet for the indiscriminate bombardment of the four-dimensional storm.
He turned into a piece of snow-white ashes in an instant.
After half a second of stalemate, the human-shaped ember collapsed, and wisps of smoke disappeared with the wind.
Only a light spot like a firefly flew out from the embers, circled twice, and flew towards the depths of the Emerald.
This is the information core that condenses all of Captain Gao Zunlong's beliefs, will, ideas, memories, and even the highest control authority of the Emerald.
It can also be said that it is Captain Gao Zunlong's "Tao Heart".
The superpowers of the Yuanshi civilization have cultivated to the point where they can completely get rid of matter and allow their Dao Heart to exist for a long time in the form of energy.
Captain Gao Zunlong's "Tao Heart" wandered in the depths of the Emerald.
The Emerald, which was severely destroyed by the mutineer crew including First Officer Quick, was like a dead graveyard.
The captain's Dao Heart swept across the rows of hibernation chambers.
The energy and nutrient input of these hibernation warehouses have all been cut off, and the vitality inside has already been cut off. Most of the hibernators are dead and rotting.
However, under the protection of the emerald, the gene bank that condensed the life essence of the crew members, and some embryos that were still in the state of combining the seeds of life, were not destroyed by the traitors, and still maintained a faint vitality.
The Dao Heart of Captain Gao Zunlong finally found an embryo that was still fully conceived and whose tiny heart had already started beating.
Time was running out, and the captain's hastily condensed Dao Xin was like a candle in the wind, crumbling.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards the embryo.
