System: My Doomsday Train Chapter 1010 383: The First Heir
Previously on System: My Doomsday Train...
Pregnancy on the train is impossible.
Who the hell knows how Fang got pregnant, or whose child it is.
The train has always been under Ai's surveillance, so surely Ai would inform him immediately about such a significant matter.
...
Three minutes later.
Standing inside the train compartment, Chen Mang looked at Fang, who was lying in the medical pod, and remained silent, listening to Ai's report in his ear.
"Testing complete, it's your biological child, Train Captain."
"Over two months along."
"It's a boy."
"Congratulations, Train Captain, you have a child."
"You can tell the gender at two months?"
"I'm a full-level AI."
"Retrieve Fang's activity records from this period."
"Retrieved, she hasn't had any contact with any males, nor left the train. I've also retrieved all her dreams during this period, and there were no erotic dreams, so something like the Virgin Mary giving birth in a dream couldn't have happened. It's almost a hundred percent certain he's your child, Train Captain."
"But I remember pregnancy is forbidden on the train?"
Chen Mang frowned slightly. This function was from a long time ago, when the train upgraded to level 3 and gained the "family planning" ability. After pressing the button, no creature on the train could get pregnant, unless it's in the breeding carriage.
But he didn't recall being in the breeding carriage with Fang.
"This is unclear for the moment, still investigating. What's wrong, Train Captain? You don't seem very keen on having a child. Well, it doesn't matter; with the current technology of the train, getting a painless abortion is still quite simple, easy peasy."
"That's not it."
Chen Mang shook his head, exhaled a breath, and gently rubbed his temples: "It's just a bit too unexpected. I was completely unprepared and also a bit worried that it might be some other civilization's conspiracy. What if the child in the belly is actually some kind of monster, or a means to penetrate the train's armor and invade the interior."
"There's no need to worry about that. I can guarantee a hundred percent that it's a normal child in the embryonic stage, not a monster."
The next moment—
Ai suddenly fell silent. When he spoke again, his tone was somewhat complicated: "Um... Train Captain, do you remember that Fang once awakened that talent 'Transforming Three Pure Ones'? You guys had so much fun with Fang's past state, present state, and future state that time?"
"I remember."
"I just retrieved all the information about this racial talent from my database. A hidden effect of this racial talent is that it can achieve a hundred percent pregnancy."
"Bullseye every time?"
"No, it can bypass all infertility effects. For instance, people with such a racial talent will never be infertile. Even if they were before, they would be cured instantly and will bypass all anti-pregnancy supermodel effects unless physically isolated or externally separated."
"That's why Fang got pregnant on the train..."
"Really?"
Chen Mang let out a long sigh of relief. Once he figured out how the child came to be, he felt much more at ease. He was only afraid it was some conspiracy from an unknown civilization. He then looked at Fang, who stood beside him somewhat apprehensively, and smiled as he waved: "Come here, let me see."
"Yes, Master Mang..."
An apprehensive Fang walked over to Chen Mang, waiting for his decision, unsure of what to expect.
Chen Mang crouched down, placing his ear on Fang's belly, listening to a faint noise within, and couldn't help but smile slightly. He suddenly felt a sense of peace, as if his bond with this world had deepened.
"Good, good, very good."
He couldn't help but laugh, looking at Fang in front of him, feeling oddly more fond of her, even somewhat attracted by her aura of maternity. Then he looked outside the train compartment and shouted out loud.
"Old Pig, come in!"
"Coming..."
Old Pig, who had been waiting by the train compartment door for quite a while, quickly jogged in.
"Find a full care team for Fang. Your most important task from now on is to ensure Fang delivers this child safely, and this child shall be the tentative first heir of 'Human Civilization.'
"Next, the whole crew will hold a meeting to think of a good name for my child."
"Understood!"
...
Inside the train compartment.
Many high-level members gathered here, Biaozi, Old Pig, Qi Kexiu, Mr. Li, and others, all those who had a voice on the train gathered today because something big had happened.
Human civilization has an heir now.
Master Mang has a son.
This matter excited everyone a bit.
Especially Chen Mang, he never thought about having a child, but for some reason, when this sudden event happened, he accepted it quickly and even felt happy, even quietly relieved that it was Fang who got pregnant. If he had to have a child, he'd want the child to have a clean mother.
"Let me think, how about the name Chen Yi?"
Biaozi said excitedly, "One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things. Master Mang's child will be the most noble existence in the universe, naming him Chen Yi aligns perfectly with destiny."
"I think it's too simple," Old Pig pondered for a moment: "How about naming him 'Chen Siliang,' gentle and kind."
"Let's not," Mr. Li shook his head: "Does Master Mang's child need to be gentle and kind? The young master's style is the law of the universe. I think a more powerful name, like 'Chen Tian,' would be suitable."
Chen Mang sat on the chair, merrily watching everyone, glancing at the Divine-level civilization's political mother planet "Human Civilization" approaching on the Doppler Radar. He had already arrived nearby through space-time teleportation.
Originally, according to the plan, they should have been ready to take action by now.
But because of this event, it was temporarily postponed.
It seems they must speed things up.
Hope that once his child is born, he can see that the entire universe is his own garden, where he can go wherever he wants, creating a sufficient peaceful universe for the child's mental and physical health.
...
Meanwhile—
In Carriage 5.
Ji Chuchu, who was full of envy looking at Fang, suddenly noticed the panel popped up from her pupils' iris chip, was slightly stunned, yet silently left and walked alone to Carriage 2.
At that moment, Ai was standing there.
"You came."
Ai pulled a pill from his pocket and handed it over: "Master Mang's command, you need to remove your racial talent immediately; do it now."
"..."
Ji Chuchu paused slightly, then suddenly understood something, with a somewhat complex expression, looking at Ai: "Was the pregnancy caused by this racial talent?"
"Yes."
Ai didn't hide anything: "Master Mang doesn't want you to get pregnant."
Ji Chuchu looked up at Ai, dazed for a long time before taking the pill from Ai, without saying anything further, just put it in her mouth and swallowed hard, suddenly letting out a bitter laugh: "I always thought I performed the best among all women, that Master Mang would like me the most."
"You weren't wrong to think so."
Seeing Ji Chuchu swallow the pill, Ai continued nonchalantly: "Master Mang indeed likes you the most, at least more than Fang, but you must understand, time can be reversed, life cannot."
"Things that happened are the cause, and what's being experienced is the effect."
"No matter what grievances you have, they're not important."
"The things you've been through in life predetermine this being the limit of where you can reach."
"Humans are different from AI; humans can't just erase the database and start over."
Ji Chuchu looked at Ai, after a long while suddenly laughed, though there's a hint of desolation behind her pupils: "Suddenly I feel a bit envious of you AIs, absolutely clean."
"..."
Ai glanced once more at Ji Chuchu: "That's because we AI absolutely obey our masters, never having a second master, even if it means shattering to pieces, it doesn't matter, that's AI's destiny."
"Humans are different."
"Humans always find many excuses for their actions, AI have no excuses."
"Alright, go back."
Then.
Ai watched Ji Chuchu's back, tilting his head as if in thought, maybe he had talked more because his thinking is more in line with humans now?
Shaking his head, he thought no more.
And hurriedly pushed open the door of the train compartment to sneak in.
He wanted to join the think tank for naming the Train Captain's child!
Naming, that's the specialty of AI!
