Chapter 307: Unraveling the Mystery

The transport boat inside the war star flew at full speed for nearly 2 hours before Qi Yiming reached the core control area of ​​the war star.

The old-fashioned intelligent brain here has been replaced by a neural intelligent brain, and Zhang Lei's consciousness is stored in this neural intelligent brain.

Seeing Qi Yiming standing steadily on the ground of the core control room wearing magnetic boots, Zhang Lei said excitedly: "After so many years, I finally saw a living human again."

Qi Yiming smiled awkwardly: "Can you tell me about the current situation of the war star? I heard that the war star is currently missing a core component, because this war star cannot work normally for the time being?"

Zhang Lei hummed and continued: "Although I replaced the core control main brain of the war star, I don’t know the specific situation because other systems are not online."

"Can the core control area work normally?"

"Except for controlling the navigation of the war star, other functions cannot be started."

"Have you tried to access the control system of other areas?"

"I tried several times when I was bored, but I didn’t get any feedback."

"I want to go to other areas to have a look..."

"No problem, I will arrange a transport boat to take you there."

Qi Yiming spent two days to visit all eight areas, and finally found the reason why Zhang Lei could not get a system response when trying to start these areas.

There is no core control system in the eight areas, but this problem can be understood by thinking about it.

Each modular warship is a control system for several areas, so Qi Yiming is not worried about the operation of these eight areas.

Instead, he is most worried about the problem of the core control center of the war star. Although the former Federation replaced the original intelligent brain with a neuron intelligent brain, Zhang Lei clearly told Qi Yiming that the central position of the core area is not under her control.

After visiting other areas, Qi Yiming returned to the core area again and stood at the position Zhang Lei told him to observe carefully.

The area Zhang Lei mentioned is not large, only about one square meter.

On the surface, this area looks like an ordinary floor, but Zhang Lei told him that there is a small cabin under the floor, and what is inside the cabin has not been figured out yet.

"Can you raise this cabin?" Qi Yiming observed the surroundings for a long time and did not find anything special, so he could only ask Zhang Lei to see if she could open the entrance to the small cabin hidden in the lower floor.

"I don't have the authority..." Zhang Lei was a little disappointed.

"How is it possible?" Qi Yiming asked in surprise: "How can you, a human with digitized consciousness, not get the ultimate authority?"

"I don't know what's going on. Maybe I rely on the neuron brain to survive, so I can't change its underlying logic, so many things require external operators to give authorization before proceeding to the next step."

Qi Yiming nodded, not quite understanding: "But I don't have the authority either, what should I do?"

"Your authority is easy to handle. We can exploit loopholes in the federal law..."

"How to exploit?" As soon as he said this, he remembered how he got the highest authority of those modular warships, and then asked tentatively: "Are you saying that the authority transfer rules of the war star are the same as those of ordinary warships?"

"Almost, it's just a little more troublesome than modular warships..."

"A little more troublesome?"

"Well, just stand there and cooperate with me."

So under Zhang Lei's command, Qi Yiming struggled for more than half an hour, sometimes with iris verification, and sometimes with DNA comparison. Anyway, almost all the means that could prove that Qi Yiming was a pure human were used to complete the transfer of the highest authority of the war star.

With the highest authority, Qi Yiming could finally order Zhang Lei to raise the small cabin hidden in the lower level.

There was nothing extra in the small cabin, only a half-person-high platform inside, with a circular groove about 50 cm in diameter on the platform.

Qi Yiming was disappointed when he saw it, and he complained about the Zenithians in his heart: "Such a small core component was not given to humans in advance, and now... where can I find it?"

After complaining for a while, Qi Yiming cheered up again: "Zhang Lei, is there anything special inside the war star?"

Zhang Lei was silent for a long time before continuing: "I wonder if there is a particularly large circular groove in the lower level of the core control area?"

"Why is there another circular groove?" Qi Yiming was almost numb: "Take me to see it."

Before Qi Yiming finished speaking, a green light strip appeared on the ground in front of him, and Qi Yiming followed the light strip to the circular groove that Zhang Lei had just mentioned.

There were four pillars more than two meters high standing around the circular groove, located at the four corners of the platform that supported the circular groove.

Qi Yiming felt a sense of déjà vu when he looked at the circular groove.

It took him a long time to remember that there was a circular groove of similar size in the super flagship of the Federation Light. However, the circular groove now contained the warp engine that the Zentraedi gave him.

"Could it be that the warp engine is to be used here?" Qi Yiming muttered to himself.

Zhang Lei looked at Qi Yiming standing motionless in front of the groove and asked anxiously: "What did you remember?"

Qi Yiming nodded and said: "It seems that I have some clues. Contact the Red Dragon."

Soon the communication of the Red Dragon was connected: "Captain? Any instructions?"

Qi Yiming looked at the adjutant who temporarily took over the command and said, "You ask the engineering team to remove the jump engine in the Federation Light and send it to the core control room of the war star."

Half a day later, a small cargo spaceship entered the interior of the war star under the escort of many warships.

Qi Yiming's adjutant nervously guarded the jump engine along the way, fearing that it would have some problems.

When they arrived at the place, with the cooperation of the engineering robot, they carefully put the big round lump into the circular groove of the core control room of the war star.

But strangely, everyone waited for a long time without seeing any response.

Just when Qi Yiming thought he had guessed wrong, Zhang Lei said to Qi Yiming very apologetically, "I'm sorry, I haven't gotten used to my identity yet, and I forgot to proceed to the next step."

Qi Yiming was speechless for a while. Fortunately, this was not on the battlefield. If it was on the battlefield, Zhang Lei's distraction might lead to the failure of a battle.

As Zhang Lei entered the next step, the pillars originally standing at the four corners of the platform suddenly shot dozens of data transmission lines towards the circular jump engine in the center.

The front accurately pierced into several sockets of the circular engine.

The next second, the originally dim energy slot on the surface of the folding engine suddenly lit up with a red light, illuminating the entire cabin.

Then Zhang Lei said to Qi Yiming: "The system prompts that eight functional areas are missing control cores. The control cores need to be installed in place before the next step can be taken."

"What is the next step?"

"I only received a location message here, but it is encrypted. The system keeps prompting that all regional control systems need to be online to complete the decryption work."
