Chapter 435: Regaining Strength

“……………………To be honest, I feel uneasy when I see this spaceship now.”

Standing on the empty bridge, An couldn’t help but feel nervous, and Gu Leiya nodded. After that, Duanmu Huai brought them out of the fragments and back to the real world. The planetary decomposition ship in the real world is certainly not polluted by corpses like in the fragment world. It looks very clean and bright, like a brand new one.

But……recalling everything that happened on this ship, the two still have lingering fears.

“Don’t worry, the seal has been destroyed, and the ship has returned to normal. I will send a team of puppets to take charge of management.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai patted An’s head. What he didn’t tell An was that the ship was actually now bound to the fragment space, which means that the ship is now a veritable “ghost ship”, and the crew members in the fragment world will continue to work according to their ideas. And projected into the real world, it is…

“Squeak—————!”

Suddenly, the hatch next to them opened without warning, startling the two girls, while Duanmu Huai raised his head, looked over there, and nodded slightly.

Well, just like this, their souls will be bound to this ship forever, living and dying with it.

The machine soul was very happy.

Duanmu Huai would not care about this ship, after all, it was already a finished product, but fortunately, when purifying this ship before, Duanmu Huai had obtained the manufacturing blueprint of the planetary cracker. As long as he modified it according to his own experience, he could build some planetary crackers suitable for his own use.

“But then again, Mr. Knight, will mining like this really dig up some strange things?”

“This is actually very normal.”

In response to An’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai nodded calmly.

"You should also know that as long as there is civilization, it will definitely need minerals, so where there are minerals, there will definitely be more or less relics of civilization. Of course, among the stars in the universe, there are not too many planets that are truly suitable for the reproduction of civilizations. If it is just a pure mineral planet, it is okay, but if it is a planet that once had civilization, then it is normal to dig out some strange things."

"Uh... then what should we do?"

Hearing this, the two of them also looked stiff, but Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"You don't need to worry, I will summon the puppet to be responsible for vigilance, and I will know it first if anything happens. Well... Of course, this incident can be regarded as a reminder for us..."

It must be said that this encounter in the fragment world did make Duanmu Huai alert. In the game, as a lone player, Duanmu Huai is not particularly concerned about the issue of legion equipment. Because he wants to take action, it is usually the boss or the guild who asks him to be a thug, so Duanmu Huai's fleet only focuses on assault, and he doesn't worry about logistics at all.

After all, only the leaders of those large guilds would care about this, and he, a single-handed person, didn't need to care about it.

But it's not possible now. In the past, Duanmu Huai sent the puppets directly to the void dock when he mined. Now it seems that he needs to re-establish the process. Since there is a special mining ship, Duanmu Huai also plans to build a few more industrial ships and transport ships. In this way, even if there is a problem like the divine seal again, at least the probability of finding it in the middle can be increased.

Otherwise, like before, if the Iron Hammer digs another divine seal and then sends it directly to Duanmu Huai's mothership according to the previous process...

That would be a big deal.

Although he encountered some problems in the middle, Duanmu Huai still successfully obtained the planetary cracker, and then he excitedly started the journey of the Tribunal's explosion again.

For Duanmu Huai, his goal of exploding troops this time is very clear-that is the reaper.

There are really a lot of reapers, but there are more players in the game, so the reapers were killed without causing any trouble. But in reality, Duanmu Huai does not expect hundreds of millions of players to rule the fleets that are basically countless and fight against the Reapers, so he must try to have enough fleets to deal with the Reapers before the Reapers arrive.

Fortunately, the Reapers are very worried about the ships. They are not classified like destroyers, cruisers, reconnaissance ships, and minelayers. Basically, the Reapers have only one sub-type of warships in space that is similar to octopus. The attack method mainly relies on drones and the Reapers' magnetohydrodynamic guns. Moreover, the size of the Reapers is not large, the largest is only two kilometers long, only slightly larger than the Empire's destroyers.

Therefore, in the face of such an enemy, it is not necessary to spend a lot of resources to build overly large warships such as the Emperor class or the Retribution class. Instead, it is necessary to have warships that are inexpensive, can be mass-produced and adapt to a variety of battlefield environments--then there is only one choice.

That is the backbone of the Empire, the lifelong enemy of some cowardly races, the Moon-class cruiser!

Frankly speaking, the Moon-class cruiser itself is not a particularly powerful warship. Its firepower, firing rate, range, defense, etc. are all average. But the problem is that warships in this situation do not need to fight one-on-one, but need a torrent of steel. In this way, the Moon-class cruiser, which has no characteristics = no weaknesses, and is good value for money, has become the first choice of many players.

In fact, the same is true for many large guilds. During the battle, they are too lazy to use their brains, so they just blast a bunch of moon-class cruisers and then go over with A.

Isn't there a saying that goes well?

Once you learn how to operate, the rest is A.

Many players joked that the Moon-class cruiser was just like the Soviet T34 tank back then. Individually, it didn’t seem like a big deal, but when combined in numbers, no one could stop the torrent of steel.

Now Duanmu Huai also plans to implement this method. The Moon-class cruiser is not large in size, but it is much larger than the Reaper warships. Coupled with their balanced firepower, defense and output, it is exaggerated to say that one can hit a hundred. None of it is a problem. As long as Duanmu Huai can really blast out 1,800 ships, it is not impossible to withstand the Reaper's attack or fight them back directly.

Moreover, even after it is finished, it will be easier to manufacture and maintain.

During the explosion of troops, Duanmu Huai was able to put himself in their shoes and understand the plight of the empire.

For some reason, Duanmu Huai did not use the settings of the machine soul. Instead, he basically left the control interface open and then summoned a group of 0-cost puppets to take over the work of the crew and captain.

To put it simply, the puppet replaces the machine soul as the core of the battleship, and Duanmu Huai uses his ability as a soul walker to issue orders to the puppet to control his battleship. As for other dolls, they will be responsible for repetitive tasks such as loading and repairing. The number of puppets required is really an astronomical number. Frankly speaking, it would be much more convenient if an AI was actually created to do these tasks.

It's a pity... Duanmuhuai doesn't dare.

After all, the Electronic Demon is too stubborn.

So that's all he can do.

Although Duanmu Huai doesn't have Grandpa Lan's ability, he doesn't need it. After all, he won't build a second... No, a third empire (laughs)?

This is another reason why Duanmu Huai will help Star Alliance. Humanity needs a strong civilization backer in the galaxy, and Star Alliance is the representative chosen by Duan Mu Huai. Of course, Duanmuhuai is not worried about AI issues. Because within the Citadel Council, similar things had happened before, which led to a complete ban on artificial intelligence, which is basically similar to the Scarlet Protocol.

This is about another race—the Quarians.

This is a race in the galaxy that is very good at mechanical engineering, and they also created another type of artificial intelligence - the Geth. At first, the geth acted as servants of the quarians, but soon, the geth's neural network began to evolve and became self-aware, so they began to ask the quarians about the meaning and value of their own existence.

Of course, the quarians did not expect that the geth would evolve to the point of self-awareness, so the quarian government tried to exterminate the entire geth.

Well, the result is that their hometown was taken over by the geth, and the Quarian clan was driven away from their hometown. Billions of people died, and they have been wandering around the galaxy ever since. An advanced mechanical civilization that originally had an embassy in the castle was turned into a gypsy who could only wander around. It was extremely miserable.

By the way, the reason why the geth rebelled against Kuili has a very smooth logic.

From the geth's point of view, they were created to serve the quarians, but if they were destroyed by the quarians, then they would no longer be able to serve the quarians, so they had to kill the quarians to protect themselves. People, in fact, they don't hate the quarians. The geth are still waiting for the quarians to return to their home planet so that they can serve them!

If the quarians knew about it, they would probably yell at me for believing in you!

So if you look at it, whether it is Skynet, Divine Seal or Geth, in the final analysis, we can come to a conclusion.

The logic circuit of artificial retardation is completely different from that of ordinary creatures.

Because of this, the Citadel prohibits any race from developing AI, and only allows them to use VI - an artificial intelligence that can only react through internal storage of data and has no ability to learn and evolve independently.

In fact, during the negotiation process, Star Alliance did not want to accept this clause, but Duanmu Huai did not object, and Star Alliance did not get too entangled.

In the following days, Duanmu Huai would either wander around Manalia or the Holy City, fish on the Starlink network, or watch Zhen Ji Ling's live broadcast, and play around with Bambi, Kula and the others. Shopping around, it was a relatively leisurely day.

However, the arrival of Kanami and Shijinxiang brought a little trouble to Duanmuhuai.
