1. Chapter 1 Intermarriage with a barbarian
Barbarian Korean Star Sea.
Han Xinghai finally boarded the spacecraft. You know, his biggest dream is to board this mysterious spacecraft to see. However, he was not happy now because he was caught here by a group of people from the bed, and was stripped of his clothes. After all kinds of strange physical examinations, he gave him a piece of cloth hanging around his waist.
Han Xinghai's face was swollen and his whole face looked distorted and deformed, because he was punched when he was caught from the bed. If he had known that he was coming to the spaceship, he would not have resisted, and this punch would have been in vain.
There were dozens of people arrested with Han Xinghai, about the same age as him, all around seventeen or eighteen years old. After a unified inspection, they were locked up in a room with metal walls on all sides. Then, a group of teenagers with a piece of cloth hanging between their legs looked at each other...
...
The moment Su Ruo walked into the conference room, she felt that today's meeting was a bit unusual, because Captain Burke was actually wearing the captain's uniform, his head of white hair was meticulously combed, and even his gray beard was neatly trimmed.
In Su Ruo's eighteen years of memory, Captain Burke, in addition to wearing the captain's uniform during his annual ancestor worship, he usually treasures the captain's uniform. It is precisely because of his attention that even after more than a hundred years, this uniform is still brand new and straight, just like it has just been cut and ironed.
Of course, Captain Burke, who is over 100 years old, can no longer support this straight uniform, and his hunched body forms a strong contrast with the angular lines of the uniform.
Is the rumors true?
Su Ruo sat on the chair uneasy. Lan Xin, who was sitting beside her, opened her mouth at her with a worried look on her face, but she still didn't say anything.
The conference room was quiet, and the needle could be heard and the atmosphere was suffocating.
Beep!
The light brain prompted everyone to arrive, but the huge conference room was still empty. Even if the lights were all on, it still gave people a feeling of being deserted and depressed.
The holographic screen shows that the total number of people is 476, and it actually reaches 471.
Captain Burke glanced at the dazzling red numbers on the holographic screen, and a trace of indescribable sadness appeared in his muddy gaze - a noble race that was once extremely brilliant in the universe, only 476 people were left.
No one can understand Captain Burke's inner torture and pain, because he experienced the entire decline of the spacecraft from more than 7,000 to 476 people, and this process only took one hundred and two years.
What is the concept of 476 people?
Four hundred and seventy-six people were unable to maintain the normal operation of the spacecraft with a diameter of three kilometers. Due to insufficient manpower, Captain Burke had to order the closure of 70% of the spacecraft. Many cabins of the spacecraft have not been involved for more than fifty years.
Captain Burke was extremely heavy inside and could not speak for a long time.
You must have the courage to face it and take responsibility!
Captain Burke tried hard to stand up his shriveled chest, trying his best to make himself look majestic. He gently stroked the golden captain's badge on his chest with his left hand, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn. The cold metal texture of the badge made the captain feel a strong sense of honor. He believed that he could lead his tribe members to overcome any difficulties like the previous captain.
Under the gaze of four hundred and seventy-one pairs of eyes, Captain Burke nodded to a burly middle-aged man wearing armor beside him. Immediately, a holographic image appeared in the conference room.
"barbarian!"
"Why let them into the spaceship?"
"They will get our ship dirty..."
...
Everyone exclaimed.
It can be seen on the holographic image that there are dozens of well-proportioned barbarians. Apart from a piece of cloth hanging on their waists, they were almost completely naked in front of people.
Dozens of barbarians stood in a sealed room. Obviously, they did not know that they were being watched by more than 400 people, and they looked at everything around them curiously.
For the indigenous people of this planet, they saw this magnificent spacecraft berthed at the edge of deserts and oasis since they were born, and never thought that one day they would board the spacecraft, because the people on this spacecraft were like gods to them.
Su Ruo felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, because what she was worried about seemed to happen.
Not only Su Ruo, Lan Xin beside Su Ruo also had a panic expression on her face, and her palms were even nervously clenched her clothes.
The huge conference room suddenly fell into a terrible silence. The girls became more and more nervous. They breathed heavily and the atmosphere became more and more serious.
People know that there will be major decisions announced, almost unanimously, and people's eyes are on girls of marriage age.
In fact, holding this meeting today is not without precursors. As early as a few months ago, the management of the spacecraft had already vaguely revealed some information, but at that time, no one took it to heart and was just a joke. After all, the topic of "intermarrying with the barbarians" sounds like a huge joke in itself.
But today, the joke seems to be turning into a cruel reality, and as can be seen from the captain's solemn expression, he has made a decision.
The residents on this spacecraft are familiar with the captain. The old man looks very kind, but has the willpower of steel. No one can change what he decides.
Of course, there are still many people who are lucky enough to get the privilege of being open to the internet.
"Hello, ladies, dear gentlemen! According to the decision of the Presbyterian Church, I, Colonel Burke, will announce to you in the name of the Captain that the Eternal spacecraft will enter military control from now on."
“Military control!”
As soon as Captain Burke finished speaking, bursts of exclamations rang out.
Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Eternal spacecraft knows that the last time Eternal was controlled by military forces was a hundred years ago.
Su Ruo glanced at Lan Xin and saw an anxious look in Lan Xin's eyes.
What does military regulation mean?
After military control, it will mean that everyone on this ship will lose their freedom and that everyone's lives will abide by rules and regulations, otherwise they will be sent to military court.
"Please be quiet! I have a few important things to announce. I believe everyone has heard about intermarriage with the indigenous people. Yes, this is not a rumor, it is true! In the past hundred years, due to the intermarriage of close relatives and the influence of radiation on male genetic genes, the residents on our Eternal No. 1 have dropped sharply from the initial 7,000 to 476. At present, there are five men and thirty-seven women who have reached the legal age of marriage. The birth rate of infants in the past fifty years has been zero. At this rate, in another hundred years, our great race will completely disappear into the long river of the universe... Cough cough cough..."
Captain Burke was old and weak, unable to catch up in one breath, and coughed so much that he curled up into a ball.
In the conference room, the heavy atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathe hard.
Everyone knows the data that Captain Burke said. Usually, everyone deliberately avoids this topic. Even if it is a discussion, it is a small-scale discussion and will never be mentioned at such a meeting.
"We selected these 37 indigenous residents through two years of investigation and hundreds of thousands of people. They not only have good facial features, but also have very high intelligence. After the meeting, you will choose one yourself. In the next year, you will live together and learn and train together... Oh, forgot, before they officially enter the Eternal spacecraft life, each two will come together to hunt a long-whip dragon in the Devil Forest..."
"Dear Captain, what if they die during hunting?" a girl stood up and asked with a sly look on her face.
"If you die, change it. There are millions of indigenous residents living on this planet. We can catch a group of people for you to choose at any time. Of course, I don't guarantee that they will be as good as them." Captain Burke looked at the girl and said lightly.
"..." The girl looked dull and opened her mouth, unable to speak.
"Okay, I believe everyone doesn't like to hear bad news. Now, I will announce good news. After you complete the mission of Devil Forest, you will be given the right to enter the mecha area for training."
"Really?!" The girl looked at Captain Burke with an incredible look on her face.
At this time, the girl's companions were all looking at Captain Burke. This was shocking for them, because the mecha area was only open to men.
"Really!" Captain Burke nodded with certainty.
"Yeah!" the girl cheered.
"Is it necessary to be so happy? Have you forgotten those savages?!" A girl next to the girl said angrily.
"Ah... I just cared about the mechas and forgot them." The girl glanced at the group of naked barbarians, with disgust on her face. At this time, several barbarians seemed to be tired of standing and actually sat cross-legged on the ground, extremely indecent.
"Dear Mr. Burke, I want to ask, what will happen in a year?" a girl stood up and asked timidly.
"Two choices. First, marry him; second, kill him and change another!" Captain Burke's wrinkled face had no feelings at all.
marry!
When they heard the word "marriage", although the thirty-seven girls thought of this result, they were still struck by lightning, pinching the corners of their clothes with their hands tightly, and their faces were pale.
"Captain Burke, I don't want to..." Lan Xin, beside Su Ruo, stood up.
"Don't forget that now is the period of military control, and you only need to obey! What I want to remind everyone is that each of us has the responsibility and obligation to make sacrifices for the future of our clan. If someone openly challenges the authority of the Presbyterian Church, he will be deprived of all civil rights and expelled from the Eternal Crow!" Berk interrupted Lan Xin's words sternly.
"I……"
"Lan Xin, there is still one year left." Su Ruo pulled Lalan Xin's clothes and said softly.
"..." Lan Xin wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end, she sat down with a sad look on her face.
"Okay, let's start choosing now. I know everyone doesn't want to, but this is the only opportunity for our race to revive. Everyone here will make sacrifices, including my grandson Edward!"
"Where did Edward go?" Lan Xin asked nervously.
"As early as two months ago, he and four other companions had married the daughters of several tribe leaders, and they are currently spreading civilization among the surrounding tribes."
"ah……"
Lan Xin had a pale face and trembled all over. She suddenly screamed and fainted. Su Ruo quickly supported her and leaned on the chair to prevent her from falling to the ground.
At this time, there was a riot in the conference room, and several girls started to sob in a low voice. It was obvious that among the five people, there was their wishful husband.
"Start the choice!"
Chapter completed!
