Chapter 64 Unexpected Gains
There is no doubt about Betty's sleep for eight hundred years. Most of her dormant wall functions have been damaged, but there is no problem with the dormant life maintenance device, so she can walk around the bridge alive and observe the various equipment on the ship.
The operation method of this warship is infinitely close to the ones she is familiar with. She has been surprised that this warship is using another language that she is completely unfamiliar with.
The official language of the empire is the language used in the training ground world. This is also to better allow students to undergo assessment. The people here cannot develop their own language and culture on their own. In that case, will the higher empire people still learn these backward knowledge?
The managers of the training ground have always guided and controlled the culture of the indigenous people to ensure that their culture and language will not go off the line, so that students who come to train or receive assessment can communicate with the indigenous people here normally.
"Did other civilized forces occupy this place?"
Ethan did not give any explanation as to why Betty was completely unfamiliar with the language used on the ship. Anyway, Betty didn't need help driving. All she had to do was stay on the ship honestly and not do anything that could easily cause misunderstandings.
Just as Betty was studying this possible invader civilization, Prince Eugen suddenly started to start and quickly changed from a static state to a forward state.
Betty looked back and found that everyone was sitting in various positions chatting, but she didn't see anyone driving.
However, autonomous driving is not incomprehensible. Judging from the driving system of this ship, it is normal to have an autonomous driving system.
So Betty quickly withdrew her gaze and turned to the topic of discussion between Ethan and his friends.
"After you extracted the space-time energy from the island, will the outer space maze still exist?"
Ethan sensed it. In addition to extracting the energy contained in the island, he had more clarity in sensing various energy in this sea area.
This is because he has established a certain connection with that island, and the various energy contained in this sea area is the source of that island.
"These energy is still around, but they will not affect us anymore."
For Ethan, these energy will eventually turn into nutrients for his time and space pointer, increasing his space energy reserves, or using this energy to make some space props.
He just needed to sit here. When Prince Eugen drove to the space maze area, the space energy scattered everywhere was slowly absorbed into Ethan's hands.
Everyone present could see Ethan's left hand emitting a faint light, and light flows kept appearing out of thin air and drilling into the light ball in Ethan's hand.
Considering that these energy dispersed in a wide range and almost circling the island, Ethan ordered Prince Eugen to circle the outer edge of the island and chose a relatively slow navigation speed.
Betty sighed in her heart: The ship's autonomous driving system is actually voice-controlled!
As for what Ethan was doing, Betty never could understand. She only knew that the energy seemed to be related to the space maze outside the island. However, for Betty, how the island had little to do with her. She just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and return to her home.
Even if Ethan blows up the entire island, she doesn't care. As long as she can take her home... this requirement is too high, just take her to the 'end point'.
"I hope I can find a teacher who should be there."
For some reason, she always felt that there was no hope of finding a teacher in the Military Academy. The training ground became too unfamiliar. She didn't know what was going on. She suspected that this place was no longer the training ground for the Imperial Military Academy. Will the academy still send people to garrison here?
What should I do if I can’t find a teacher from the college? Should I just live in this world?
Betty was thinking about it here, noticing that fewer people were on the bridge. From the beginning, everyone gathered here, and slowly there were only a few people left.
Ethan was still slowly extracting the space energy spreading in the sea, sitting in his captain's position without moving.
Maria Hill is the commander of the warship. She usually stays on the bridge to monitor various data of the warship, ensure the normal navigation of the warship, and avoid various unexpected situations.
Even if she circles in an empty sea, she will do her job meticulously.
Perhaps it is precisely this kind of personality that allows her to connect to the holy light that is separated from countless worlds and become a "preparatory paladin".
All that is left is Logan. He doesn't know where to go. There is nothing to do now. He can even smoke a cigarette if he hides here, because there are fewer and fewer people here.
Perhaps the smell of smoke woke Betty up in a daze. When she came to her senses, she found that it was already dark and the lights were not turned on in the bridge, but it didn't seem very dark here.
There was a faint light emitting from Ethan's left hand, and a light flow continued to appear and rushed into the light ball on Ethan's hand.
All kinds of instruments were also emitting light, and the cigar that Logan was holding was also emitting light slightly.
Betty looked around and found that there were only a few people left in the bridge.
“If you feel hungry, you can go to the cafeteria, where there are many convenient foods for you to choose from.”
In addition to cooking by yourself, the canteen on Prince Eugen also stores various fast food and snacks for a long time, which makes it convenient for people to eat when they are hungry during non-meal meals.
Logan thought for a while and felt that Betty was very good at using the equipment on the ship, so he stood up and signaled to her to come with him: "Forget it, I just happened to want to get something to eat, come with me."
When passing by Ethan and Hill, he also asked the two people. Although Ethan's left hand was emitting light and constantly extracting energy, he did not need to focus too much on this matter. He could distract himself from thinking about other things. The only thing he was unhappy was that it was inconvenient to move.
"Take me a piece of meat pie and come back with the fries. I'm probably going to sit here for a while."
Logan laughed at Ethan for a few casual words, then looked at Hill again.
"Standard nutritious meal...add an extra piece of meat steak."
After sensing the holy light, Hill found that her appetite was getting bigger. She had originally had a standard set meal to meet her physical needs, so she added extra meat chops.
Ethan's explanation for this is: The Holy Light stimulates your body and breaks a bottleneck in your physical fitness. At the same time, the characteristics of the Holy Light allow Hill to appropriately increase the weight when exercising without worrying about damage... Increased exercise and further improvement of physical fitness require energy replenishment, and the most direct change is the increase in appetite.
This situation is not long-term. When Hill's physical fitness reaches a bottleneck again and the holy light reserves in his body reach a certain level, they will return to normal conditions.
If Hill had amazing talents in the Way of Holy Light, it was even possible to get rid of food needs and be able to maintain life by relying on pure energy.
Ethan can now rely on magical energy to maintain his body's needs, and then become a true god-level life form, eating and other things will really satisfy his psychological needs, rather than his physiological needs.
According to Ethan's idea, his friends will definitely reach their current level in the future. I don't know how many people will choose to give up normal eating, but he is very curious.
Logan took Betty away and returned to the bridge without much time.
Instead of coming back with him, Betty went straight to the room to rest.
When Logan handed the food to Hill and Ethan, he was surprised to find that the light ball on Ethan's hand had disappeared.
"Don't you have to sit for a few hours?"
"Just talk about it."
Ethan looked: You really believe it!
"Although the energy spread in this sea area is not very small, the quality is not very high. If I accelerate the extraction, it will not take long to collect them all."
"You deliberately made that posture before, was it because of that girl Betty?"
Betty is nearly nine hundred years old by age, but everyone still treats her as a little girl.
“Not all.”
Ethan watched the tiny energy in his left hand flowing freely at the tip of his fingers, staying in his palm like a ball of starlight.
"I'll deliberately slow down, mainly studying this."
“Is there anything special about this?”
Logan wanted to have a cigar again, but when he saw Hill standing next to him, he still put it away. Unexpectedly, Hill, who had a cold face most of the time, actually smiled back to him, thanking him for his gentlemanly behavior.
Ethan casually stuffed a piece of chips into his mouth, chewing them while reminding the two of them to focus their energy on this spot of light: "What did you 'see'?"
Logan and Hill both stared at the spot for a few seconds, then looked at Ethan in surprise.
"Is it an illusion?"
"I seemed to see an island...it seemed to be the island we just left?"
Hill turned her head and looked out the window again. It was pitch black outside. Even with the stars in the sky, she couldn't see the island in the distance. But at this moment, her gaze seemed to have passed through the darkness and saw the very beautiful island.
"Not an illusion."
Ethan once again let the light spot go around in his hand, and as the light spots kept wandering, its color was also slowly changing.
The light spots initially emitted a blue light like the time and space pointer on Ethan's hand. In just a moment, the light spots had turned silver, and it seemed to emit a hint of gold.
