Chapter 147 The Ruins that Are About to Be Scrapped

Such a simple choice means that there is no need to choose. Naturally, there is no other possibility except to work for me. After she chose to attach herself to us, the rest was much simpler. In fact, apart from her father, the other individuals in her race are basically easy to talk to. The main reason is that they are all native earth creatures born after the war. Neither this girl nor those second-generation creatures have experienced the prosperous life of their own race, so they naturally don't have the inexplicable pride and psychological barriers of the girl's father. After knowing that I did not intend to harm them and could provide them with protection and a comfortable material life, I immediately joined our side.

Because there were a few more guides, our progress improved significantly after returning to the ruins. First, we were taken to another direction of the ruins, which was completely different from the entrance we entered before. According to the girl, this is the official entrance. The one we entered before should be regarded as the maintenance channel. The reason why the entrance to the channel is open is mainly because that part has malfunctioned. Although the technology of their race is very advanced, this thing has been on the earth for nearly a thousand years, and no matter how good the quality is, it will be worn away by time.

Under the leadership of the dark spirit girl Taya, we entered the passage. After following Taya for a short distance, we entered a place similar to a teleportation array. "Please wait a moment." Taya flew to the wall next to her and pressed her hand on it. Then a small operation panel automatically popped up on the wall. It looked quite advanced, but Taya was on it. After a few clicks nothing happened.

"What's the matter?"

"This damn rag is malfunctioning again!" Taya kicked the wall angrily, but with her kick we heard a sound like a machine starting up. Taya quickly shouted: "Haha, start up." Come on!" Following a flash of white light, we appeared directly in another room. This room is larger than the room we were standing in just now, but the structure here is very strange. It feels like a cage, and there are facilities similar to defensive fortresses outside the cage. The direction is completely aimed at us in the middle. Taya immediately explained when she saw our expressions: "This is the security room outside the main control room. Because it is the core place inside, safety is more important. The teleportation array on the ship cannot be transmitted directly into the main control room. It must be first Teleport here, verify your identity, and then walk through the door to enter the control room. If the intruder cannot get out of this cage, he will be burned to ashes by powerful radiation."

"Strong 'shoot' line?"

"Well, right under our feet is the muzzle of a high-energy radiation cannon. The range just covers the entire cage. Once the cannon is fired, everything in the cage will be burned to ashes immediately." After hearing what Taya said, he followed. Several researchers who came with me rushed out of the cage. Taya immediately laughed when she saw their performance. "Hahahaha, you don't need to be so nervous. This thing was already scrapped when I was born. It's a damn thing if it can still shoot now!"

After this little episode, Taya has obviously become a lot more cheerful. Although this girl looks like a lich, she is not essentially an undead creature. As long as there is no pressure to survive, she will naturally show it. Come according to your own nature.

After walking to the door of the security room, Taya pressed the door a few times, and then kicked the door frame hard. A layer of dust fell from the top of the door, and then the door automatically opened with a crash. Taya was embarrassed. He turned around and explained: "It's been too long. Less than 5% of the things here can move, so it's not bad." The people who came with me are also technical people. For facilities that can still be moved after so many years, I was so impressed that I naturally didn’t say anything.

Behind that gate is an octagonal room about the size of three standard football fields, and in the center of the room is something like a pyramid. However, this is not a parallel structure like an Egyptian pyramid, but similar to a Mayan pyramid. stepped pyramid. There are a bunch of consoles densely arranged on each step of the pyramid, and on the top of the tower is a seat that can be rotated for its own use. This seat is surrounded by consoles in three directions, and only the direction behind it is. Empty. The eight walls of this room are all equipped with huge black crystal mirrors, which look like flat-panel displays at first glance. With such a large operation room, you can imagine what a spectacular scene it would be if it were all filled with staff.

"I finally know why you can't operate this mobile city!"

Taya sighed too. "When this place is fully staffed, it will require more than 1,300 operating personnel. Even if it is only the minimum operation, it will require more than 350 people to run it, and we simply don't have enough personnel. In fact, This ship does not only need people to take care of the control room. Each area also has its own control rooms that need to be managed. The entire ship needs at least 2,000 people to fly, and at least 8,000 people to participate in the war. , as for the control and management of urban living areas, more than 12,000 people are needed to operate normally."

"Damn, why do we need so many people? Is this ship big enough to accommodate a million people? Why do we need so many operators?"

"No, you are wrong." Taya said to the technician who asked the question: "The volume that can be seen now on the Sith is entirely the volume of navigation and combat equipment. Its living area, battleship loading area and maintenance area are all used. Thanks to the space folding technology, the living area volume of the entire ship is more than thirty times larger than the volume of the hull shell you see, and this does not include the places where warships are parked and where parts and daily necessities are stored."

After hearing Taya's explanation, the researcher immediately asked: "As far as I know, the maintenance of folded spaces requires energy. Your ship has crashed for so long, is there still energy in it? Aren't these folded spaces going to Will it disappear automatically?"

"No, the thing you are talking about is called virtual space, not folded space. Folded space is a closed real space. Its existence does not require the support of energy, but its opening and closing require energy. As long as we do not frequently Getting in and out of it is not very expensive.”

This time, my technicians immediately became more excited after hearing this. They all wanted to study this kind of space technology that does not require energy support, but I stopped them. "I brought you here today to familiarize yourself with various equipment. There will be plenty of time to study them later."

Only then did everyone remember the main task of the day, and began to ask about business matters. "Well, where is the power core?"

"Over there." Taya pointed to the pyramid and took us over. There is a gate on one side of this pyramid, but this thing is obviously scrapped, and it took us a lot of effort to break open the gate. After entering the gate, we saw a bunch of spider-like wires and pipes, the messiness of which made our researcher's eyes jump. Taya explained awkwardly: "This place was not so 'messy' before. We tried to repair it once, but due to problems with parts and technology, we could not restore the function but ended up like this."

We all nodded and didn’t ask too much. After passing through wires and pipes that were comparable to minefields, we arrived at a relatively spacious area. There is a circle of steel frame here, and a spherical object connected to countless thick pipes is above the frame. We can tell at a glance that this is an energy core, but the specific structure seems to be very different from the one our Essinger is using. Without saying a word, several researchers immediately climbed up the shelf and removed the cover to inspect it. Although our technology is not as advanced as others, the biggest characteristic of players is their brains. Although many things have not been seen before, they are not too difficult to understand. After reading them, you can understand them roughly.

After some inspections, a leading technician began to disassemble the parts on the power core and snapped his fingers outside. The NPC who came with us immediately brought in several large boxes. The technicians announced the names of various items, and the NPC personnel opened the boxes and handed the items onto the shelves. The technicians above replaced a lot of parts after hammering for a while, and then asked me for a large colorful magic crystal and stuffed it into the power core. They followed the technician who headed down to the switch panel near the wall. After fussing for a while, he finally stopped in front of something like a knife, and the other technicians backed away in tacit agreement. The technician saw that everyone had distanced themselves and then suddenly pushed the knife up. Then we heard an increasingly louder buzzing sound, and the power core in the center of the room gradually began to glow, and the nearby instruments They lit up one after another, but the good times didn't last long. Just when I wanted to praise them, I suddenly heard a sound that seemed to be deflated. As the sound of the power core began to get smaller and smaller, the surrounding instruments gradually stopped.

"Damn!" The researcher walked to a refrigerator-like thing under the central power core and kicked it hard. Then he saw a sudden burst of arcs flashing randomly on the power core, followed by the buzzing sound. It began to grow bigger again, and the nearby instruments flickered for a while and then lit up again. "It's really useless!" After saying that, the technician turned around and walked up to me and reported: "Now that the power has been restored, we can check what else is still working."

"Okay, let's go up and take a look."

After leaving the pyramid, we climbed up the stairs outside to the top of the pyramid. Under the command of Taya, the technicians we brought occupied some of the main operating stations, and then after a while of operations, the surrounding areas of the room were The crystal screen suddenly lit up. First there was a burst of snowflakes, and then a lot of incomprehensible text and diagrams were displayed on the screen. Taya looked at the screen and said in surprise: "It's incredible. More than 30% of the equipment was still functioning during the system check. I still I thought most everything was broken!”

"More than 30% of them are usable. It can indeed be said that most of them are broken, but this proportion is already very rare. The technology of your race is really good, and it can still be used after such a long time. By the way, here Is there anything like a monitor?”

"Yes." Taya flew to a console and was busy for a while, and then the big screen was suddenly divided into countless small pieces. Each piece displayed a picture. The content was clearly the surveillance pictures of various places in the ship, but there were many areas in it. It’s just a snowflake. After all these years, it’s surprising that there are still pictures.

"Taya." I suddenly spotted the figure of the little dragon girl on the screen. She should be following Venus with several other dragons, but I didn't expect that they were still here. "Where is that?" I asked, pointing to the screen.

"What do you mean?" Taya switched the screen I was looking at to full-screen mode.

"Yes, that's it."

"This is the passage leading to the material warehouse. Beyond that is the material warehouse. Is this one of yours?"

"Yes, but they are following an enemy, and it seems that guy is here too. Can you take me there?"

Taya thought for a moment and said: "You still need someone to teach your subordinates about the operations here. I'd better stay here! You can bring this with you." Taya pulled out a console from under it. Something like a watch was thrown over.

"What's this?"

"The simple display system in the ship allows you to view maps and some open information. I can set the highest permissions for you, so that you can even view the surveillance screen at any time."

"Okay." This thing is simply an electronic map, which is better than a guide, and it also comes with the ability to display enemies. I can mark the target I want to track on it, and then this thing will display the target as a point and reach it peacefully. There is no need for a guide when there is such a convenient thing on the map.

Following the route marked on the map, I quickly approached Xiao Longnu and the others. Since the spacecraft regained power, some previously blocked passages were now open. I took a shortcut and quickly caught up with them.

"Master." Since they are my magic pets, they can sense each other. I was immediately noticed as soon as I got close to them.

"How's it going?"

"I don't know why it suddenly gained power here. Venus may be a little curious. She is checking something like a control panel."

"Let me take a look." I walked to the front and stretched my head to take a look. Venus was studying a control panel next to a wall, and there was actually a person standing next to her. "Why is the crow here too?"

"He came over by himself later, and he almost found us. Fortunately, we ran away quickly."

I nodded. "You guys go back to the Fenglong space first. I'll watch over here." After taking back the magic pet, I continued to squat where I was, and Venus opened the door in front of me just at this time. With a sound of metal friction, the door slowly moved into the wall, and the hidden space behind it made all three of us stunned when we saw the scene inside the door.
