The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 696 - 689: Please State the Question Clearly

Xinghe was concerned with past events because as a Celestial, she wasted some time figuring out what exactly the Ark had been through.

Understanding the current status of the Ark was important, of course, but more crucial was to understand what had happened to the Serpent People.

"Energy is insufficient, weapons cannot be used, the Serpent People’s ship cannot be destroyed, it has been deprived of power using atomic imprisonment, and not all crises facing Earth can be resolved. Whether to continue protecting humanity depends on the will of this ship’s controller."

The Ark’s response was mechanical but clear, and upon hearing it, Yang Yi immediately frowned and said to Xinghe, "With your technology being so advanced, have you not developed artificial intelligence? Or perhaps fuzzy intelligence?"

Xinghe responded indifferently, "The end of the last civilization was due to artificial intelligence developing self-awareness, so fuzzy intelligence is taboo. Biological computers are a technical means, they can execute your every command, but a biological computer must never have its own decisions."

Yang Yi sighed and said, "It’s as I suspected, then. Mr. Axu, how much energy did you expend in your recent attack on the Serpent People’s ship?"

"Three point seven six percent."

"So the energy you have left is not enough for another attack?"

"That is correct."

"Then what can the remaining energy still be sufficient for?"

"Please clarify the question."

"Hmm, how far can you travel with the remaining energy?"

"Please clarify the question."

"How far can you travel at maximum speed?"

"Beyond the Solar System."

"Then at the most economic consumption mode, how far can the remaining energy take you?"

"Two point four light-years."

Yang Yi pondered for a moment, then he said in a serious tone, "You said earlier you can’t travel interstellar distances? But now you measure distances in light-years."

"Please clarify the question."

"Fine, can you attack another one of the Serpent People’s ships?"

"I cannot."

"Can you fly?"

"I can."

"If we use you as a means of transportation, can you guarantee safety?"

"Safety can be ensured."

"Then how do we destroy the Serpent People’s ships?"

"Physical destruction."

"Are you able to create a vaccine that makes humans immune to the Serpent People’s virus?"

"I can."

"Can you produce something that makes humans already affected by the virus healthy again?"

"I cannot, as the consequences of the virus are irreversible."

Yang Yi sighed regretfully and then thought for a while before saying, "Should we attack the Serpent People’s Mothership immediately?"

"Please clarify the question."

"If only maintaining basic functions, how long can your remaining energy last?"

"Earth years sixteen million eight hundred and forty thousand..."

When he heard the unit "million," Yang Yi was momentarily stunned, then he quickly said, "Stop. So what capabilities do you have, what else can you do?"

This time, Axu did not answer, and Axu was just a shadow that remained, which means the Ark did not answer Yang Yi’s question.

It took about five seconds before Axu finally said, "Please clarify the question."

Asking for clarification has two meanings: one is that the Ark does not understand Yang Yi’s question, and the other is that the Ark has too many functions.

Yang Yi could have continued to ask, but he did not dwell on this question, instead he immediately asked, "Does the fallen Serpent People’s Mothership still pose a danger?"

"Yes."

"Please explain clearly."

"Please clarify the question."

"Have the Serpent People inside the spacecraft died?"

"No."

"Can the weapons system of the spacecraft still be used?"

"It cannot be used. The Serpent People’s spacecraft has lost all power. Without power, the weapons system cannot function."

"Can the Serpent People’s spacecraft be repaired?"

"It can be repaired. Replace the energy module for immediate use. The attacked energy module has been destroyed, but the energy module from another spacecraft can be used."

"Then can you still attack the energy module of the other spacecraft?"

"No."

"Then can you use the energy module from the Serpent People’s spacecraft, or to put it another way, can you use the Serpent People’s energy source?"

This time Axu waited a little while, then very humanely shook his head, saying, "Cannot be used. The Serpent People’s energy is too primitive and cannot satisfy the needs."

Yang Yi looked towards Xinghe, who said in a low voice, "Our energy source... is beyond your comprehension. It is the hope for faster-than-light travel. Our current technology cannot collect it nor use it, while the Serpent People’s energy is... similar to antimatter, that is the best way I can explain it because Earth does not have this term. We use antimatter more efficiently than the Serpent People, but the principle is similar."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Do the Serpent People have the ability to weaponize antimatter?"

"Antimatter can be weaponized, but the Serpent People do not possess this capability because using antimatter as a weapon is very dangerous, with a high risk of initiating chain reactions."

Just as Yang Yi was about to continue the interrogation, Xinghe raised his hand and said, "Do not ask me why. Humanity’s understanding of antimatter isn’t even elementary. It’s merely an awareness of the existence of antimatter. I am using the term ’antimatter’ to explain a concept that is similar in meaning to you. Be clear, it is only a similarity in concept." fгeewebnovёl.com

Yang Yi immediately said, "Alright, I understand."

Yang Yi turned to Axu and asked, "Then, what is inside the Serpent People’s Mothership, can you detect anything?"

"Yes, there are multiple life forms inside the Serpent People’s Mothership, of which there are one thousand Serpent People, and the number of other species is one hundred eleven thousand, two hundred and seventy-two."

After thinking for a while, Yang Yi asked, "What is the primary function of the Serpent People’s Mothership?"

"Biological factory."

Yang Yi took a breath and said, "Understood. I get it. The Serpent People’s Mothership is a biological factory. All the monsters are manufactured inside the mothership and then dispersed via unmanned spacecraft. Mm, after the Serpent People’s Mothership became inoperable, all the smaller spacecraft lost power, is that correct?"

"Yes."

Yang Yi looked at Ram and spoke in a grave tone, "That means now the Serpent People’s Mothership has been brought down but not destroyed. The Serpent People are still inside, and so are the monsters; to completely destroy the Serpent People, we’ll have to go in ourselves."

Ram, with a serious face, said, "The number of monsters... reaches the hundreds of thousands! That number..."

But Yang Yi immediately asked, "Are the creatures inside the mothership fully matured?"

Axu fell silent again, and after two seconds, Axu said, "Please clarify the question."

"The creatures inside the mothership are... freshly produced, aren’t they? No, let me clarify the question. Based on the information and data given to you by Xinghe, can you determine if the creatures inside the mothership are adults or juveniles?"

"A small portion are adults; the majority are juveniles. Please provide criteria so that I can give a definite answer."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "No need."

Yang Yi, having asked his questions, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I’ll keep it short, everyone, it’s time for revenge."
