Accompanied by a flash of light, the warped space gradually calmed down, and the giant turtle rock platform emerged from the vast space.
This is the frontier outpost of the drone group. The drone nest rebuilt from asteroids, which looks like a twisted lair, is still quietly suspended in the distance, and compared with the last time, this outpost is already With some development, some newly built space factories and connection structures can be seen around the outpost. Space guard towers equipped with sentry guns are neatly arranged around these newly built structures, guarding the vast area like lighthouses.
And the Ark Fleet is parked within the protective range of these guard towers.
All the arks are currently at rest. Nolan used an external controller to forcibly cut off the energy of these spaceships to save their fuel, and took this opportunity to carry out emergency repairs on them, and put the most severely damaged engines and warp space The device has barely recovered to the point where it can work continuously. The Giant Turtle Rock Platform slid silently and briskly in space, and finally landed lightly on the outer shell of the "Throne" ark.
Katrina was watching the situation outside the spaceship from the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace. Although this was not the first time she had been on a spaceship, she was still very interested in this magical space journey, and after seeing those huge When she saw the Ark, her excitement turned into surprise.
"This ark is bigger than I expected," the Siren Queen exclaimed softly, "...more than the size of Nasathorn."
And it was the first time for the two siren clerks she brought into space. The two snake girls were completely dumbfounded at this moment, and they didn't even notice that their tails were tied together unknowingly.
Vivienne glanced at Katrina indifferently: "You have also built interstellar arks before. If it was the Kraken back then, it should be able to build things of this scale. Nasatron is essentially nothing like these arks. the difference."
The Siren Queen shook her head slightly after hearing this, and sighed: "We live comfortably now, but have lost the technology of the past. These people in the ark have an entire fleet, but they have returned to the primitive society. Everyone has fallen to this level. What about the past glory?"
"Nolan. Warm up the engines of these arks," Hao Ren lightly tapped on the console of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform. "Also call Lawrence."
The spaceship's console immediately lit up, and then a little Nolan the size of a palm came out from the gap in the console: "Okay, okay, don't knock, don't knock, I'm testing the system..."
Hao Ren was preparing to talk to Lawrence with a serious face, when he suddenly saw the mini Nolan coming out, he was dumbfounded: "You...how did you become like this?"
"You still ask me?" Nolan crossed his hips and looked up at Hao Ren vigorously, "Didn't you download an enhanced plug-in for a large space storage compartment for the mainframe of the spaceship? The mainframe's computing power is not enough. I have all the messy and useless functions. It’s turned off, and by the way, reduce your resolution to save resources.”
Hao Ren was stunned, and it took two seconds before he remembered that the "large space storage compartment" Nolan mentioned was what he had applied for from Raven 12345. international. The so-called "storage warehouse" is not a substantial visible equipment, but just a piece of information that humans cannot understand. After loading this information into the main engine of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, his spaceship has a Kilometers of super container—However, this super container will consume a lot of host resources of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, so Nolan became like this.
"To tell you the truth, what is the rationale..." Hao Ren rubbed his chin and muttered to the palm-sized little Nolan. The latter still maintains the posture of akimbo: "What is the reason for this? Reduce the resolution..."
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about that container," Hao Ren said while poking the data terminal at hand. "Why did you download a code to the mainframe, and the hardware functions of the spacecraft have changed?"
"This is called an authorized upgrade agreement." The data terminal knew that Hao Ren was going to ask this, and immediately explained, "Do you think the hardware structure of the spaceship has not changed? The hardware structure has long been changed along with that code. Any Imperial equipment is not. Fixed, every tiny part of it can be refreshed and reorganized. It is only the core programs of these devices that determine their functional structure, that is, the pile of things running on the host. To put it bluntly, as long as this program changes, your spaceship will It can be reorganized into any form, including but not limited to trebuchets and excavators. As long as the new form does not exceed the computing limit of the host computer. Therefore, as long as your superior authority issues a suitable blueprint, the giant turtle rock platform can be real-time Upgrade and reorganization. That’s what I told you about the spaceship replacement plug-in. Do you think that the inspectors who install the plug-ins on the spaceship drive the ship and line up to go to the 4S shop for dismantling?”
Hao Ren was stunned for a while, and said that he really thought that when upgrading the system of the spacecraft, he needed to drive it to some repair shop to get it done. He never thought that this thing is so high-tech. One piece refreshed...
At this time, Nolan Jr. had already completed restarting the engines of the ark. In the dark space background, the surfaces of the thirteen giant ships were lit up one after another, and the old ancient engines were running again after a few days of rest. At the same time, the communicator on the console was also activated, the holographic projection flickered a few times, and an old man with white beard and hair appeared on the screen.
Lawrence's expression looked a little excited and confused, as if the communication came suddenly, leaving him unprepared for a while. The old man was stunned for a while before he asked, "Your Excellency Hao Ren? Are you calling me?"
"Uh...you can call me Hao Ren, 'Your Excellency' sounds weird," Hao Ren waved his hand, looking straight, "Are you ready? I have found a temporary place for the ark to stay."
Lawrence's first reaction was... no response.
For a while, the old man didn't understand what Hao Ren meant, and after he understood it, he couldn't believe his ears. When he realized that this "temporary place" referred to a planet, he didn't Any joy or excitement, because the shock emotion has completely overwhelmed both emotions. It wasn't until Hao Ren repeated his words that Lawrence suddenly woke up: "You mean a new planet?!"
"It's on loan to you," Hao Ren explained in advance, then turned slightly to let Katrina come forward, "The planet you are going to rent is called 'Io', and this is the queen of Io. At present, due to some reasons, the queen and her people are temporarily not living in Io, so the planet can be lent to you temporarily. I hope that the two of you can discuss the specific regulations."
"Where are you now?!"
"It's on the shell of your ark," Hao Ren laughed. "Can you leave now? It's best for you and the queen to discuss on my spaceship. There are perfect recording equipment here, which can record all the things you ordered. terms."
Lawrence looked around, judging from the background on the image, he should be in a relatively high-class room, perhaps a certain king's castle, or the library of the bachelors. He nodded: "I can tell them that I will go to the ancestor Honglu to obtain knowledge. Now I have a very high authority among these people, and as long as the ancestor Honglu is involved, they will not question my words."
Hao Ren hummed: "Well, very good, you tell the people around you, and then I will let the data terminal go over and pick you up directly."
After the communication was hung up, "Roll" sneaked in from the side, and she grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve: "Big cat, are you finished?"
Hao Ren looked at Stupid Cat in bewilderment: "It's over. What are you doing?"
"Scroll" suddenly showed a very happy look, pointing to the little Nolan who was sitting on the edge of the console in a daze: "Then I can eat mice, meow?"
Hao Ren: "... get on your stomach!"
A moment later, Lawrence was teleported directly to the teleportation room of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform.
The old man was wearing a rough gray-white robe, like the bachelors of the Ark World, with a lot of weird ornaments on his chest, his beard and hair were all white, and he was holding a hard long staff in his hand. When he came out of the teleportation room It's like an old mage from a fantasy medieval world, and an old prophet who is ready to lead the people - this second impression fits his current position in the ark.
The Nangong brothers and sisters picked up the old man from the teleportation room. After seeing Lawrence, Hao Ren immediately stepped forward to greet him, and then opened the main holographic image of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, which showed the whole picture of the Ark Fleet: "See with my own eyes again How do these ships feel?"
Lawrence stared fixedly at the vast space on the holographic image, and the thirteen giant ships neatly arranged in the space, and sighed softly after a long time: "I and these ships are too old..."
Vivienne moved out of the way between Lawrence and Katrina: "Then find a way for the young people before you old guys completely shut down." (To be continued~^~)
