The shadow space is a very vast place. Although it does not reach the exaggerated scale that dominates the entire universe like the revenge army's lair, after a long period of construction and expansion, it now has the volume of a small galaxy, so we Now many things that need to be properly protected can be placed in this place. For example, there is a special base far away from Shadow City.
It's a base, but sometimes I jokingly call it a morgue.
It is a very wide space, enough to accommodate several Earth-Moon systems, and its range is marked by a series of restricted buoys located on the edge. These buoys are separated by hundreds of kilometers, and each of these buoys has only one private car. Small in size, it is an extremely powerful super gravitational well. This defense net, which is not very common in conventional empire bases, usually has two functions. The first is to prevent external forces from jumping into the base in extreme cases, and the second is to prevent the base from The things inside rushed out without permission, and these shimmering buoys formed a closed spherical grid, and a large number of huge starships were parked inside the spherical grid.
The surface of those mighty war machines is covered with silver-gray icy metallic luster. The silent and majestic bodies are arranged in a depressing three-dimensional square array in space. Except for the limited basic lights, there is no other light on the surface. Even the psionic grids that never go out on normal imperial battleships are dim, giving people the feeling that this fleet has not been activated yet. These starships are of different sizes and models, ranging from the smallest assault ship to the largest Eternal-class mothership, which can almost be called an exhibition hall of the imperial fleet. In the open area between these warships, there are many space factories and comprehensive fortresses with flashing lights. Their tasks are to produce accessories for the logistics of the surrounding starships and for the maintenance personnel of the base to live. , There is nothing else in this base surrounded by a spherical grid. There is no star port for producing new spaceships, no starship command center for the rear, and no high-speed barracks for quickly replenishing fallen starship members. These few things are the essential infrastructure of a normal imperial space base, but none of them can be seen here-because the things in this base don't use them at all, and these spaceships are almost impossible to go out.
In fact, not long ago, Sandora and I even began to think about whether this base was still necessary. It took up too many imperial resources, such as more than 80 logistics factories and a large number of spaceships for polishing and waxing. At the same time, we have to use more than a dozen mass-produced mainframes, more than 120 imperial technicians, and countless soldiers to guard these silent spaceships, but the result of such a huge investment is that no matter who So far, there is no way to start those spaceships.
Strictly speaking, they are no longer the products of the empire's technology system. They are things that are on the same level as the old empire's technology, but the way of operation is completely different—although this group of cheating iron bumps can be seen from the shape and main structure. It looks exactly the same as the column spaceship we use now.
"When I dragged these things out of the big nebula, I thought they were completely scrapped, but Tavier said that there was no structural damage to these spacecraft."
Sandora and I led a group of curious girls in the family to walk on the empty bridge passage of the Eternal-class starship. The bridge was brightly lit, but there were no soldiers on guard, and there was no such passage during normal starship operation. There should be a low humming inside, and my voice is only accompanied by the footsteps of a few people. This sound makes the passageway look extraordinarily deserted.
"Although there is no structural damage, all the spaceships can't start at all," Sandora said in a low voice, "Their control systems are like self-discipline machines, and they fell into 'death' after the collapse of the archives. If you want to restart these Spaceships, either revive those autonomous control systems, or simply replace all spaceships with new control systems, the cost and time-consuming of the latter are no cheaper than rebuilding a new spaceship."
"Needless to say that it's so detailed, I won't even forget this."
I rubbed my forehead helplessly, thinking that Sandora might have a very bad impression of my usual unreliability.
Sandora shook her head: "I'm mainly afraid that readers will forget..."
us:"… "
Yes, as I said just now, these spaceships, which are stored separately and look different from ordinary fleets at first glance, are actually the "trophies" we dragged back from the Great Nebula.
After the Great Nebula Battle, with the collapse of the Temple and the Archives, most of the Temple Guards were wiped out by the Allied Forces of the Emperor and the World in the final battle, and many enemy spaceships chose to follow the Archives. However, despite this, under the huge base number, we still found a lot of Templar guard spaceships that have not been destroyed. Some had just been patched and hadn't been activated either, and we hauled these ships back as trophies, which I thought was a huge bonus at the time.
Later facts proved that it was fate who made me feel troubled.
These glamorous spaceships cannot be activated at all. Their control system is a self-discipline organization developed by the Templar Guard in the process of self-evolution. The code executed by this kind of thing has been deleted following the collapse of the archives It was completely clean. Tavel made various attempts but failed to make these self-disciplined spaceships as easy to control as normal imperial starships. Her greatest achievement was to successfully activate the thrusters of the two starships, but failed. The only thing was that she couldn't find where the brakes were - and still haven't.
Bubbles tried to connect its own data interface to these self-disciplined spaceships to understand how they "think", but this attempt ended in failure. I was scared to death, and when she recovered, the first thing she did was to offer to go shopping outside, which almost scared me to death, but fortunately, the girl recovered in the end—thanks to Glass Slag for releasing Diablo 3 in time.
Therefore, after several attempts failed, and Sandora and I could not see any benefit in continuing to study these autonomous spaceships, we suspended the restart of these iron bumps and put them here waiting to grow. Mushrooms, it’s not that gathering the scientific research power of the entire empire can’t activate these things, the main reason is that it’s not worthwhile: Although there are a lot of these guard spaceships, they are still out of proportion to the scientific research capital we have to invest. After all, they are all capable. Mass-produced things, the big deal is that I listened to Qianqian and turned all these things into steel plates...
They ended up here anyway.
But today, these spaceships are about to be reborn and given a new life—Tawil’s original words, the second half of her sentence is: In theory, so.
"It's been seven days since the renovation, if all goes well..."
Sandora said something in a low voice, and then opened the last gate in front of her.
The grand command hall of the eternal level appeared in front of us.
"Today is the day these ships launch."
We stood on the edge of the officers' platform, looking down into the rotunda below.
The usual Eternal-level command hall is always brightly lit, just like a stock exchange hall, with various control terminals flashing and beeping one after another, busy and orderly battleship commanders passing through, but the command hall in front of us is still shrouded In the darkness, only a limited amount of basic halo emanates from the high crystal clusters, making the entire hall look like Anveena's hut. What is more interesting is its main control area, which should have a lot of control The area of the terminal was bare, with only a few weird-looking projection devices displaying a warning box of no signal input, and no seats reserved for operators could be seen at all.
This is an unmanned autonomous warship, and so far no one has been able to start it, so it is not surprising that there is such a command hall.
But we stood on the officer's platform seriously and even a little nervously, looking at the dark and empty battleship control center in front of us, the expressions on each of our faces were as serious as possible, even Qianqian grabbed my hand nervously. Arms, showing the appearance of not daring to breathe—of course, she may just follow suit when the people around her suddenly quiet down. This girl has never had a serious concept.
Everyone is waiting for a miracle to happen.
"The external link has been completed and is expected to activate in fifteen seconds—theoretically."
Tavel's mass projection appeared out of nowhere on the officer's platform, her image trembled slightly, and then looked at our surroundings, "Excuse me, this experiment is not necessarily safe, your majesty and The officer hastily entered the interior of the spaceship..."
"Just do your own thing. You have reminded us many times, and you have done your duty," Sandora smiled slightly and interrupted Tavel's last persuasion, "I want to see this scene with my own eyes, and I am ready to activate Bar."
"Your will."
Tavel nodded, and the mass projection disappeared into the air.
A slight sound of energy flow appeared in the air almost at the same time as she disappeared. I heard a low rumble coming from the depths of the spaceship, and the energy readings around me were slowly increasing. This process was very slow, but with As time goes by, faster and faster.
Everyone realized that the activation of this ancient spaceship had already begun, so they couldn't help holding their breath at the same time, looking at the still dark and silent command hall.
Time passed by, and what responded to us was still darkness and silence. The various sounds from the depths of the spaceship had reached the critical value of normal driving, which indicated that all levels of energy modules and main engines of the ship had been activated. The warm-up was completed, but the giant holographic projection that was supposed to be lit in the command hall was still dark, which made Sandora's eyebrows slightly frowned.
I checked the time, nearly thirty seconds have passed since activation.
But just when everyone thought the experiment had failed, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the command hall.
That is the holographic projection device in the center of the hall. It suddenly flickered when all of us were about to give up and were about to announce the failure of the experiment. Although no meaningful image popped up, its activation seemed to be a signal. Suddenly, the devices in the hall lit up one by one, as if a dispatching system was supplying energy to them one by one. The huge command hall was quickly activated in sequence according to the functional areas, and the key energy hubs were quickly charged. The sound of "beeps" sounded densely in the hall, and the disappointed expressions on the faces of the people were trying to adjust to a state of ecstasy.
"Success...success!" Even my elder sister, who has always been prudent, couldn't help but get excited, with an undisguised happy smile on her face, she hugged me as if she was in a good mood when she was a child, and rubbed my cheek hard , and I clenched my fist hard because of excitement, Ding Dong rolled his eyes in the palm of my hand, and then rushed out tearing and biting, Bingtis whistled loudly, and Lilina obediently took out two hundred A dollar was stuffed into Lin Xue's hand: "You won, so I really shouldn't bet with you like this."
Only Sandora maintained her rare composure at this time. She coughed hard to calm us down, and then said in a deep voice: "It can only show that the self-discipline module of the spaceship is controllable, but... it is not yet sure who controls it. Yes or no… "
"Just ask." I smiled and pressed Sandora's shoulder, knowing in my heart that this was because she was holding great hopes but was worried about gains and losses at this time, and didn't dare to confirm it by herself, so I stepped forward and shouted loudly Get up, "l-15, wake up and squeak!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the entire command hall began to reverberate with a soul-stirring 100-decibel surround sound broadcast: "Zhi—His Majesty Chen Jun, is this an idiomatic expression in the sky area you rule?"
I:"… "
The others were stunned for a few seconds at first, and then they all came to their senses, rolling on the ground, grinding their claws on the railing, hugging their stomachs to convulse, and taking out a small book to record the dark history of a certain emperor. I looked at Shan with black eyes Dora: "Why didn't I know it was so real—congratulations, this time it was really successful."
Yes, it really worked!
A crazy idea, seven days and seven nights of research and demonstration, and today's near-miss "activation", finally, finally ushered in success: the Vengeance Army will be reborn on a huge fleet.
This is l-15's plan. It combined the will of countless outstanding emperors to formulate this genius adventure plan, which is to imitate Gaia's way and entrust the souls of the officers and soldiers of the revenge army on the imperial weapons.
The success rate of this plan is the highest one we can think of so far. Tavier immediately carried out almost desperate research on it (in fact, every time she started a research project, I felt that she was desperate). In the end, She found that we really have a batch of spaceships that can take on this heavy responsibility, that is, the spaceships of the Templar Guard with extremely complex and bionic structures-the mutant self-discipline systems on them can carry the mutant souls of the Vengeance Army, and the latter is also the most powerful. People who may be controlling these ships that can't drive at all through symbiosis.
So this almost miraculous fleet began to be formed today: the brand new Vengeance Fleet.
Sandora's face had a bright red light. She didn't know whether she was excited because of the success of the experiment or simply suppressed her laughter. She took a deep breath before calming down, and turned to the unmanned operation with a bright smile. The command hall that started to operate in an orderly manner, now those control terminals and information ports have entered the working state, and the data of the battleship or the current adjustment conclusion of the battleship are quickly refreshed on each projection screen, while the giant holographic projection in the center of the hall is It was still a blank grid line, Sandora looked at the grid, and said in a deep voice: "L-15, you can use the holographic projection of the battleship to display your own image, although it is not a body, but It's better than a grid anyway."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty," the deep and deep voice echoed, "I can't complete your order. The subordinates are not yet fully familiar with this set of self-discipline codes. It may take some time to fully control all the equipment here."
"Don't worry about it." Sandora responded, her eyes slowly scanning the pile of automatic machines in the hall below curiously, "How do you feel now? What are you doing?"
"The subordinates are trying to update the logical structure of this spaceship. It uses an inefficient logical method. Obviously, the surplus accumulated in the process of self-evolution has not been cleared in time. After completing the adjustment of these logical structures After the data is updated, the synchronization rate between me and this spaceship may increase to more than 90%. As for the feeling... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't describe it yet, the feeling of being integrated with a spaceship It's weird, it's not a body, but I can feel my soul extending into every inch of it, every engine, every pipe, every sealed gate is a part of my body, to be controlled Such a complex body is not easy, especially it does not have conventional perception. Now I have to rely on a set of information disturbance devices to determine my position in space. When moving forward, I need to activate the twenty-six A group of propellers, the main gun of the spaceship is on a line that is difficult to directly control with consciousness, which is also troublesome. I need some help from Imperial technicians, or other assistants who can help modify the spaceship. I need to make it more in line with a The operating habits of the soul, I am afraid that other spaceships are also in the same situation, of course, the situation of small spaceships may be better."
Sandora listened carefully to the other party's report, recorded them one by one and forwarded them to the researchers outside waiting for orders, while I opened the portable space, took out a vacuum cleaner-sized multifunctional mechanical creature floating in the air .
"This is what Gaia asked me to give you, and there are many more, she said that you should use them."
"What is this?" L-15 asked in amazement, "It looks like a mechanical maintenance worker used to maintain the pipeline, but it has been modified?"
"It is indeed something after transformation," I wiped my nose. The uneasy automatic machine in front of me seemed to have basic sanity. Without orders, it started to crawl around on the officer's platform, looking for Those mechanical devices that are somewhat unfamiliar to it, whenever it finds a device, it will scan it, and then analyze it with a chatter, it seems that it is compared with similar things in the public database. However, I am afraid that it can only work for nothing. This is the self-discipline spaceship left by the Templar Guards. Its entire set of control-related equipment has been mutated, and there is no record in the public database. "This automatic The machine is something designed by Gaia herself. Gaia, the technology you used to transform your soul is what she has experienced before. Now she is in the same situation as you, except that her soul lives on a planet, and You become the soul of the battleship. Gaia made countless of these automatic machines, they work with her to maintain the city, and now with a slight programming change, these machines can help you maintain this spaceship. After all, although future revenge warships do not need a controller, they still need a logistics team. These small machines can be registered as part of the hull parts in the spaceship registration form, and then they can be directly controlled by your will, which is absolutely better than any other ship. All kinds of support staff are flexible."
L-15 immediately expressed great interest in this brand-new automatic machine. It seems that these gadgets that Gaia usually manufactures, which are half helpful and half boring, really need to be mass-produced from today.
We didn't stay on this nascent revenge battleship for too long, l-15 needs time to adapt to its new 'body', and this huge ship that is going to take the completely unmanned route does not have any rooms for passengers inside, so After confirming that everything was in order and that the other ships had begun to "activate" as planned, we left the ship that already had a soul.
