Chapter 837 The New Revenge Army

Chapter 837 The new revenge army

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 Nest xe, after a long period of construction and expansion, it now seems to have the size of a small galaxy, so We can now put a lot of things that need to be properly protected in this place. For example, there is a special base far away from the Shadow City.

I call it a base, but sometimes I jokingly call it a morgue.

It is a very wide space, enough to accommodate several Earth-Moon systems. Its range is marked by a series of restricted buoys located on the edge. These buoys are hundreds of kilometers apart from each other. Each of these buoys has only one si family. The size of a car, but it is an extremely powerful super gravity trap. This defense network, which is not very common in regular empire bases, usually has two functions. The first is to prevent external forces from jumping and invading the base in extreme circumstances, and the second is to prevent external forces from jumping and invading the base. Things inside the base rushed out without permission. 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 majestic war machines glowed with a cold metallic luster of silver gray. Their silent and majestic bodies were arranged in a depressing three-dimensional square array in space. No other light could be seen on the surface except limited basic lights. Even the never-extinguishing nether energy grid on a normal imperial warship is dim, giving people the feeling that this fleet has not been activated yet. These starships come in different sizes and models, ranging from the smallest assault ship to the largest Eternal-class mothership. They can almost be called an exhibition hall of the imperial fleet. In the open areas between these battleships, there are many shining space factories and comprehensive fortresses. Their mission is to produce the accessories required for logistics for the surrounding starships and to house the base maintenance personnel. In addition, , there is nothing else in this base surrounded by a spherical grid. There is no starport for producing new spaceships, no starship command center as a rear area, and no high-speed barracks to quickly replenish fallen starship members. These things are essential infrastructure for a normal imperial space base, but none of them can be seen here - because the things in this base do not use them at all, and it is almost impossible for these spacecraft to go on an expedition.

In fact, not long ago Sandora and I even began to think about whether this base is still necessary to exist. It takes up too many empire resources, such as more than 80 logistics factories and a large allocation of spacecraft polishing, waxing and replacement. skilled workers for filtering. At the same time, we have to use more than a dozen mass-produced hosts, 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 it is, Until now, there is no way to launch those spaceships.

Because strictly speaking, they are no longer products of the empire’s technology system. They are something on the same level as the old empire’s technology, but with completely different manipulation methods. Structurally, it looks exactly the same as the fleet spacecraft we use now.

"When I pulled these things out of the big nebula, I thought they were all completely scrapped, but Tavel said there was no structural damage to these spacecraft."

Sandora and I led a group of curious girls at home to walk on the bridge passage of the Eternal-class starship. The bridge was brightly lit, but there were no soldiers standing guard, and there were no such things as when the starship was operating normally. There should be a low hum in the passage, and the only sound accompanying my words was the footsteps of a few people. This sound made the passage feel particularly deserted.

"Although there is no structural damage, all the spaceships cannot start at all," Sandora whispered. "Their control systems are similar to autonomous machines. They fell into 'death' after the collapse of the archives. If you want to restart these Spaceships, either resurrect those autonomous control systems, or simply replace all spaceships with new control systems, the latter is no cheaper and time-consuming than building a new spacecraft."

"You don't need to go into such detail. I haven't even forgotten this."

I rubbed my forehead helplessly, thinking that Sandora might have a very bad impression of my usual unreliability.

Shandora shook her head: "I am mainly afraid that readers will forget..."

us:"……"

Yes, as mentioned just now, these spaceships, which are stored separately and look different from the ordinary fleet at first glance, are actually the "trophies" we dragged back from the Great Nebula.

After the Battle of the Great Nebula, with the collapse of the Temple and the Archives, most of the Temple Guards were wiped out by the Imperial Army and the World Alliance in the final battle, and many enemy spaceships chose to follow them. The Archives self-destructed together, but despite this, based on the huge base, we still found a lot of Temple Guard spacecraft that were not destroyed. Most of them were new warships that were still parked in the star port and had not been sent to the battlefield. Others had just been repaired and had no work. We dragged these spaceships back as trophies. At the time, I thought this was a huge additional gain.

Later facts proved that it was fate that made things difficult for me.

These shiny-looking spaceships cannot be started at all. Their control systems are self-disciplined organizations developed by the Templar Guards during their own evolution. The codes executed by such things have been deleted with the collapse of the archives. After all, Tavel tried various attempts but failed to allow these autonomous spacecraft to be controlled as easily as normal Imperial starships. Her greatest achievement was to successfully activate the thrusters of the two starships, but failed. What's wrong is that she couldn't find where the brakes were - and still hasn't.

Paopao tried to connect his data interface to these autonomous spacecraft to understand how they "think". This attempt ended in failure. The child's mother died with a crunch for ten seconds and almost lost her life. I was scared to death. After she recovered, the first thing she did was to offer to go shopping, which almost scared me to death. Fortunately, this girl recovered in the end - thanks to Glass Slag for the timely release of Diablo 3.

Therefore, after several attempts failed, and Sandora and I could not see any benefit from continuing to study these autonomous spacecraft, we suspended the restart of these iron lumps and put them here waiting to be planted. Mushrooms, it’s not that the entire empire’s scientific research power cannot be mobilized to activate these things, the main reason is that it is not cost-effective: although there are a lot of these Guards spaceships, they are still disproportionate compared to the scientific research capital we have to invest. After all, they are all capable For mass-produced things, at worst, I heard Qian Qian turn all these things into steel plates and sell them...

Anyway, they were all thrown here in the end.

But today, these spacecraft are about to be reborn and given a new life - Tavel's original words, the second half of her sentence is: Theoretically this is the case.

"Seven days have passed since the transformation. If everything goes well..."

Sandora whispered, and then opened the last gate in front of her.

The eternal-level grand command hall appeared in front of us.

"Today is the day these ships are launched."

We stood on the edge of the officers' platform, looking at the rotunda below.

The Eternal-level command hall we usually see is always brightly lit, just like a securities trading hall. Various control terminals flash and chirp one after another, and busy and orderly battleship commanders pass by. However, the command hall in front of us is still blocked by Shrouded in darkness, only a limited basic halo emanates from the crystal clusters high above, making the entire hall shadowy like Anweina's cabin. What is even more concerning is its main control area, which should have a large number of The control terminal area was completely bare, with only a few weird-looking projection devices displaying warning boxes indicating no signal input, and no seats reserved for co-operators could be seen at all.

This is an autonomous battleship operated by no one, and no one has been able to activate it so far. It is of course not surprising that such a command hall appears.

But we stood solemnly and even a little nervously on the officer's platform, looking at the dim and empty battleship control center in front of us. The expressions on each of our faces were as serious as they could be. Even Qianqian was nervously grabbing my hand. Her arms were stretched out and she didn't dare to take a breath - of course she might have just followed the example when people around her suddenly became quiet. This girl has never had any serious ideas.

Everyone is waiting for a miracle to happen.

"The external link has been completed and is expected to be activated in fifteen seconds - in theory."

Tavel's mass projection appeared out of thin air on the officer's platform. Her image shook slightly, and then she looked at the environment around us. "Please forgive me for my words. This experiment is not necessarily safe. Your Majesty and The commander rashly entered the spacecraft..."

"Just do your own thing. You have reminded us many times that we have fulfilled our responsibilities." Shandora interrupted Tavel's last persuasion with a slight smile. "I want to see this scene with my own eyes. Get ready." Live."

"Your will."

Tavel nodded, and the mass projection disappeared into the air.

The sound of slight energy flow appeared in the air almost at the same time as she disappeared. I heard a low roar coming from the depths of the spacecraft, and the energy readings around me were slowly rising. This process was very slow, but as time went by, As time goes by, faster and faster.

Everyone realized that the operation on this ancient spaceship had begun, so they couldn't help but hold their breath at the same time and looked at the still dark and silent command hall.

Time passed by, and the response to us was still darkness and silence. The various sounds coming from the depths of the spacecraft had reached the critical value of normal driving, which showed that the energy modules and main engines of this ship at all levels had been exhausted. The warm-up was completed, but the giant holographic projection in the command hall that should have been lit up was still dark, which made Sandora frown slightly.

I looked at the time. Nearly thirty seconds had passed since I was alive.

But just when everyone thought the experiment had failed, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the command hall.

That was the holographic projection device in the center of the hall. It suddenly flashed when all of us were about to give up and prepare to declare that the experiment had failed. Although no meaningful images popped up, its activation seemed to be a signal, very fast On the ground, the equipment everywhere in the hall also lit up one by one, as if there was a dispatching system supplying energy to them one by one. The huge command hall started quickly and sequentially according to the functional areas, and the key energy hubs were quickly charged due to The beeps that could be heard sounded densely in the hall, and everyone's faces were trying hard to adjust to a state of joy before they could change the disappointed expressions.

"It... it's successful." Even my sister, who has always been steady, couldn't help but get excited. She had an unabashed happy smile on her face, and she hugged me and rubbed me hard as she did when she was in a good mood as a child. cheek, and I clenched my fist hard due to the excitement. Dingdang started to roll his eyes in my hand, and then rushed out with tearing and biting teeth. Bingtis whistled loudly, and Lilina took it out obediently. Two hundred dollars was put into Lin Xue's hand: "You won, I really shouldn't make such a bet with you."

Only Shandora maintained a rare calmness at this time. She coughed hard to quiet us down, and then said in a deep voice: "It can only mean that the self-discipline module of the spacecraft is controllable, but... we can't definitely control it yet. Isn’t it..."

"Just ask." I smiled and pressed Sandora's shoulder. I knew in my heart that it was because she had huge hopes but was worrying about gains and losses at this time. She didn't dare to confirm it herself, so I stepped forward and shouted loudly. Get up, "pl-15, squeak when you wake up."

As soon as I finished speaking, the entire command hall began to echo an infuriating 100-decibel stereo broadcast: "Squeak—Your Majesty Chen Jun, is this an idiom in the area you rule?"

I:"……"

The others were stunned for a few seconds at first. Then one by one they came to their senses and started rolling on the ground, sharpening their claws on the railings, holding their bellies, choking on the wind, and taking out a small book to record the dark history of a certain emperor. I watched with blank eyes. Sandora: "Why didn't I know it was so real? Congratulations, you really succeeded this time."

Yes, it really worked

A crazy idea, a full seven days and nights of research and demonstration, and today's near-miss "shooting", finally succeeded: the Revenge Army will be reborn on a huge fleet.

This is pl-15's plan. It combined the will of countless outstanding imperial officers to formulate this genius adventure plan, which is to imitate Gaia's method and place the souls of revenge officers and soldiers on imperial weapons.

The success rate of this plan is the highest we can think of so far. Tavel immediately conducted almost life-threatening research on it (in fact, I felt that she was risking her life every time she started a research project). In the end, She discovered that we really have a group of spacecraft that can shoulder this important task, and that is the Templar Guard spacecraft with extremely complex and bionic structures - the mutant autonomous systems on them can carry the mutant souls of the Revenge Army, and the latter is also the most Someone who might be able to control these ships that can't even fly through symbiosis.

So this almost miraculous fleet began to be formed today: a new revenge fleet.

Shandora's face was bright red. She didn't know whether she was excited because of the success of the experiment or simply suppressing her laughter. She took a deep breath before calming down, and turned to the person who was working with a bright smile. In the command hall, which has begun to operate in an orderly manner under the circumstances, the control terminals and information ports are now in working condition. Each projection screen is quickly refreshed with battleship data or current battleship adjustment conclusions, and the giant hologram in the center of the hall The projection was still a vast white grid. Sandora looked at the grid and said in a deep voice: "PL-15, you can use the holographic projection of the battleship to show 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 replied, "I cannot complete your order. My 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 curiously scanning the pile of automatically operating machines in the hall below, "How do you feel now? What are you doing?"

"My subordinates are trying to update the logical structure of this spacecraft. It uses an inefficient logical method. It is obvious that the excess accumulated in the process of self-evolution failed to be cleared in time. After completing the modification of these logical structures, After the data is updated, the synchronization rate between me and this spaceship may be increased to more than 90%. As for the feeling... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I am afraid that my subordinates cannot describe this for the time being. I am integrated with a spacecraft. The feeling is very strange. It is not a body, but I can feel that my soul has extended to every inch of it. Every engine, every pipeline, and every sealed gate is a part of my body. , it is not easy to control such a complex body, especially since it does not have conventional perception capabilities. Now I have to rely on a set of information perturbation devices to determine my position in space. When moving forward, I need to follow the order. There are twenty-six sets of thrusters, and the main gun of the spacecraft is on a line that is difficult to control directly with consciousness. This is also a problem. I need the help of some imperial technicians, or other assistants who can help modify the spacecraft. I need to let It is more in line with the operating habits of a soul. I am afraid that this is also the case with other spaceships. Of course, the situation of small spaceships may be better."

Shandora listened carefully to the other party's report, recorded them one by one and forwarded them to the researchers waiting for orders outside, while I opened the portable space and took out a multifunctional mechanical creature the size of a vacuum cleaner, floating in the air. .

"Gaia asked me to give this to you, and there are many more. She said you should use them."

"What is this?" PL-15 asked in surprise, "It looks like a mechanical guard used when maintaining pipelines, but it has been modified?"

"It is indeed something after modification," I wiped my nose. The restless automatic machine in front of me seemed to have basic sanity. Without orders, it actually started crawling around on the officer's platform, looking for Those mechanical devices that are somewhat unfamiliar to it, every time it finds a device, it will scan it, and then analyze it gurglingly, seemingly comparing it with similar things in the public database. But I'm afraid it will have nothing to gain. This is the autonomous spaceship left behind by the original Temple Guard. Its entire set of control-related equipment has been mutated. There is no record in the public database. "This kind of automatic The machine was designed by Gaia herself. Gaia, the technology you used to transform your souls is what she has experienced. She is in a similar situation to you now, except that her soul lives on a planet. You have become the soul of the battleship. Gaia has created countless such automatic machines, and they work with her to maintain the city. Now, as long as you change the program slightly, these machines can help you maintain this spaceship. After all, although the future Revenge battleship does not need a controller, it still needs a logistics team. These small machines can be registered as part of the hull parts in the spacecraft construction registry, and then they can be directly controlled by your will, which is definitely better than any other. All logistics staff are flexible.”

pl-15 immediately expressed great interest in this brand-new automatic machine. It seems that these gadgets that Gaia usually produces to help and relieve boredom will really need to be mass-produced from today on.

We didn't stay on this new-born Revenge battleship for too long. The pl-15 needed time to adapt to its new 'body', and this huge ship that was going to be completely unmanned didn't have any rooms for passengers, so After confirming that everything was normal and other spacecraft began to "activate" as planned, we left this battleship that already had a soul.
