876. Information from the past
The birds sighed in their hearts, waiting for the answers of the Supreme Protector.
"First of all, I want to explain that there are records about Ax creatures in history, and I believe everyone here has heard of them. They are creatures created by our great ancestors of the Birdman tribe."
The gaze of the Supreme Protector patrolled everyone's face.
Everyone listened to her speech attentively, and no one made a sound.
"To my knowledge, these organisms were initially used to modify genetic engineering. The by-products created to extend the lifespan of the birds can rarely be evolved by human intervention. They are said to be born while experimenting on a dead star.
It evolved very quickly and had many unknown terrible potentials. Because it was too dangerous, they were later transferred to the remote xr-7667 Dorian…”
"xr-7667 Dorian! Isn't that the place where we do our mission?"
"So that's how it is!"
Several birdman adjutants looked at each other, their faces full of astonishment.
The Supreme Protector did not care about the change in other people's expressions, which was something she had expected long ago. So she continued, "Next, I will talk about the mother's body.
The mother body is the most powerful intelligent brain on our starship, the creation that the empire is proud of, and the semi-biological and semi-mechanical structure. You should be more familiar with it than me.
On the planet xr-7667 Dorian, secretly capturing samples of the Exx life form is performed by the mother and sent to the guards.
This is because you are unaware of this matter.
Because the capture order is an instruction from the senior executives of the Empire, it is absolutely confidential and has been issued by me. I cannot disclose information to any of you."
After saying this, the Supreme Protector paused, and his resolute expression flashed across his eyes.
Everyone was even more shocked.
"Everyone should still remember the disaster that moment. I had some doubts in my heart from the moment the mothership nuclear crystal furnace sent out the meltdown signal.
You know, the nuclear crystal furnace cannot be destroyed!
Because, that is the most powerful technological crystal in the history of our Birdman Empire, with the hardest stimulation structure, and no energy can destroy it, even the energy of a neutron star is impossible.
I believe that everyone, like me, the first thing that comes to mind is accidents.
At the beginning, I thought the same as you, and I thought it was an accident. The accident might be caused by some improper operation of the crystal master.
But you know that if this kind of one-in-a-million accident occurs on two starships at the same time, it is absolutely impossible to be an accident.
Then, there is only one possibility - disasters occur, which are the result of ‘man-made destruction’.
Sorry, I know it is not appropriate to doubt the tribe. But when things happen, that is my duty... I hope you can understand this.
Soon I realized that things were not like that.
Because, I asked a few questions, but I felt that the mother's reaction was a bit abnormal.
Instead of giving a solution or escape solution immediately as usual, it delayed for a few seconds. At that time, I did notice these situations. But suddenly, there was no time for me to think about these small problems."
Speaking of this, the Supreme Protector took two more steps forward.
She suddenly stopped and raised her head, as if something was brewing in her heart.
"I understand, it was the mother who tampered with the nuclear crystal furnace...but...why...is it?" Yulgin spoke.
He asked, "Why did you later suspect that the mother had been infected by Ax Biotechnology as early as that time?"
“…because it possesses emotions.”
The Supreme Protector turned around and slowly spit out a few words. She looked into Yulkin's eyes and said word by word.
“This is something that only intelligent creatures have.
When you were studying the birth plan and found that Sogron had tampered with the data, I suddenly realized that artificial intelligence would not have such a thing, and the statement of self-evolution would not make sense.
Because, we did not write such a program for it.
Then there is only one possibility - its core is polluted."
The language of the Supreme Protector is cold.
She then made an example to describe the change of the mother's body completely beyond common sense - it was like a pool of clear water sealed in a container, but one day a monster suddenly grew. This was absolutely impossible.
The same is true for the mother's body, and it will never cause emotions for no reason. Moreover, this emotion is still so strange.
"Please look at it all."
The holographic images rippled for a moment, and the light and shadow changed instantly.
As the arms of the Supreme Protector pass by, many creatures are displayed in the image at the same time.
These creatures are obviously simulated by data, and the body details, especially the brain, have been magnified several times. Black spots cover the whole body, and the limbs appear abnormal, deformed and strange.
After their brains were completely occupied by AX creatures, their consciousness and behavior patterns changed, and they had evolved into other creatures.
"These are creatures that I simulated with data, and have spent a lot of time studying. According to my speculation, the changes in the parent body are the same.
Today, I will disclose these research data to you. And the source of the data is here—in the prison behind you.”
The Supreme Protector turned around and looked into the distance of darkness.
"What? There is still a prison here?"
"Is it a place where those Ax creatures are held?"
"Oh my God, they have lived with us for so long!"
The birds changed their faces and were shocked.
If it weren't for what the Supreme Protector said, they couldn't believe it and never knew that there was such a secret prison in the core of the mothership.
It seems that the Supreme Protector has been studying the Ax creatures in prison for a while.
“It is incredible and difficult to understand when these dark changes appear in them.
And as I guess, this is just the initial mutation. In fact, they have evolved for at least millions of years. By the time we reach xr-7667 Dorian, these evolutions have reached a more terrible point.
Their wisdom, their behavior patterns...and their deep intentions!
Perhaps, things will turn back when extremes are extremes. This is the consequence of the mother's communication with those imprisoned dark creatures.
Even if we—the intelligent race that has mastered the direction of life evolution, we have not been able to break through this ultimate limit for so many years.”
The Supreme Protector gave a brief explanation to further explain her judgment.
Everyone was stunned.
"It's so scary. If the mother was contaminated by these AX creatures, then what is it now...?"
"Bio, it turns into a terrifying monster! Oh my God, no wonder Sogron has that kind of reaction..."
"So, we were all deceived by the mother! The energy reaction of the emp teleportation array is simply a lie. The messages it sends are all fake!"
"What should we do now?"
"The mother and its guardian legion, they have become cancers, and they are cancers that we have caused!"
All the birds were talking about it, and the situation that the Supreme Protector said completely shocked them.
