The new skill "Communication Center" cannot be used in Mr. Ke's space. After asking how to use it, Alex said goodbye to Mr. Ke and returned to his captain's room. After that, he touched the back of his head with his hand and gave the command: "Activate

Communication center, target Liuma."

---Known related equipment of Liuma: Sadunus console, Bluetooth star manufacturing control bus. Brain control body is being adjusted. Warning: lack of supplies, need to replenish printing materials, available models are as follows:... ---

A list appeared on Alex's retina, all of which were 3D printing equipment consumables from major brands. The top one was the Composite Evolutionary's military engineering printing materials. Not counting the stock in the printer, there were still some on the Liuma.

There are two other full cans. But Alex’s question is...

"Sister, do you know what will happen if a composite evolved person eats 3D printing materials?"

"Is it compressed or uncompressed?" My sister's voice on the intercom sounded very calm.

Is there really anything to eat? Alex asked: "What's the difference between the two? Just tell me directly."

"If you eat the uncompressed ones, you will vomit. If you eat the compressed ones, you will swell first and then vomit hard..." After Amy said this, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter. A burst of laughter appeared on the intercom.

There was a creaking noise. After a while, she regained her breath and asked: "Brother, what happened? Did you accidentally eat some printing material? The thing itself is not toxic, but it may accumulate in the cells.

It needs to be detoxified slowly. The C-level evolution plug-in can slowly clean up those materials, so you don’t have to worry.”

"I didn't eat that thing! I just suddenly thought about the printer and asked about it. It would be great if our printer could print organs, which would greatly increase the level of medical security on the ship." Alex found an excuse to prevaricate.

.

Hearing this, Amy coughed twice, corrected her attitude, and her voice became more serious. She said: "The technology of printing life forms and the technology of 3D printing are two different routes, and the equipment is not universal. Because life forms are very different,

Even among various human subspecies, due to different living environments, there will be different homeostasis states. According to experience, printing things will cause more trouble than it solves. Therefore, our compound evolutionary human bioprinting technology is only used for ourselves.

It is the inner looper in the evolution plug-in. Its core is a biological printer."

"Oh, I understand. If it's too dangerous, then I don't need to think about it. When is the next gravity catapult?"

"There are still 61 hours left. Do you have any plans?"

"Look at the starry sky. It's always dark outside and it makes me uncomfortable." Alex said before hanging up: "By the way, I'm taking a look at the news on Slow.com. I don't know what follow-up news there is about Beolo and pt52."

Since the Zero-Order World was interviewed on the planet Beolo, this news has spread to the entire universe through all channels, causing waves again. There are all kinds of discussions, and the opinions are all strange and contradictory, but they all seem to stand.

It holds true. If some people say that composite evolved people have lost influence by returning to the realm of extinction, other people will say that it is easier for them to act secretly, and their influence is greater than before.

At the same time, various civilizations are also beginning to look for whether there are things that the composite evolved people and the natural selectors want in their own territory. There are technologies in the universe that the composite evolved people also want, and their power is so powerful that they can colonize a whole country in an instant.

Who doesn’t want a planet? The self-contained biological people are already considered a relatively strong civilization, and they have resisted the pressure and secretly studied it without the knowledge of composite evolved humans. What does this mean? It means that if it can be researched, everyone has the opportunity to become a composite evolved human.

.

News is flying all over the Slow Internet, and records of incomprehensible astronomical phenomena have become the most popular products. Whether they are true or false, they are always sold out. Can these "treasure map"-like information bring many scientific research discoveries? I'm afraid Nothing will happen. However, the use of gravity catapults has increased, and interstellar travel has increased. This is a significant change.

Alex had his own clues, so there was no need to bother digging through the leftovers in the fake news. After he learned from Amy that a small dose of printing materials would not kill anyone, he got up and went down from the elevator at the back of the Flow Horse to the cargo hold. , found the engineering printer, took out some printing materials, and quickly returned to the captain's room.

The unprocessed raw material looked somewhere between a particularly sticky oatmeal and cement. It had no smell at all, but it just looked unappetizing. Alex dipped some of it with his finger and washed it vigorously with a glass of water. He felt as if he had swallowed a bug, but in fact there was no direct reaction of discomfort. Then five seconds later, the brain control body sent a prompt.

---If you find printing materials, please do not eat unsafe food. The printing materials are in reserve and can be used to deform the communication center---

The first half of the sentence is nonsense. Of course Alex knows that he can't eat too much of this thing. But isn't it just for the second half of the sentence? Alex sat down and calmed down to experience the changes in his body. He seemed to feel the evolutionary plug-in in his body. It is working, transporting the printing material from the gastrointestinal tract, processing it in the decomposition internal circulator of the back spine, and then concentrating it near the brain control body. The brain control body is slightly heated, and the surrounding skin is slightly itchy. This state continues Two hours later, Alex finally received the system prompt.

---Communication center preparation completed: Bluetooth star technology bus adaptation. Remaining deformation material 72/500 units.---

This time, the assembly of the communication center consumed 150 units of printing materials, and the safe storage limit of the evolution plug-in is 500, which is about a large mouthful. Alex activated the communication center, and then several appeared in the upper right corner of his field of vision. Connectable signal channels.

"Ship broadcast, point-to-point calls, internal data bus, environmental monitoring information flow... there are quite a few. Connect the point-to-point call, uh, find Amy."

---Connecting. Please select: Control the point-to-point calling system as an external device, or use known permissions?---

"Use known permissions, Captain Alex." Alex thought for a while and said: "Cancel, control it as an external device. How much computing power does it take?"

---Remote external equipment: point-to-point calling system (occupies 2). Note: If there is a design drawing of the system, the starship database can be used for targeted deformation to reduce computing power usage. ---

After accessing the point-to-point calling system, Alex felt like there was an extra ear on the back of his head. This was a very strange feeling. The new ear provided the ability to receive "sound" in all directions, and could not only hear the voice content , you can also know the direction of the nearest signal source. Alex began to turn around and carefully feel the feeling of signal strength positioning. Unexpectedly, Amy's voice came from the communication channel, with a little anger in his voice. .

"Who is occupying the communication channel? Is it you, Boss Ming? I told you not to..."

"Sister, it's me, not Boss Ming. Let me change my number and tell you..." Alex quickly switched back to the captain's authority, and then said: "I'm studying the functions of this system in depth. I'm sorry to scare you.

."

"Okay, I just knew it was you. I thought it was Boss Ming." Amy explained: "That artificial intelligence can survive in the Evolver starship and deceive the zero-order world. You must always be careful about her."

"If she uses the ability to deceive the zero-order world to do something on the Liuma, we will definitely not be able to find it. But don't worry, I am very aware of the dangers of system hijacking, so I left an engineering lock on the starship.

Can cover the entire system and gain control."

"Yes, you are more conscientious than I thought." Amy said: "You have just finished training, please rest quickly. Only by allowing your body to recover as soon as possible can you stay healthy."

Alex promised, but did not follow the instructions. Instead, he continued to study the communication center. The upper limit of his body's load due to the combined action of the elemental body and the evolutionary plug-in was much higher than that of a normal compound evolved person. As long as he remained still and

With enough nutrition, the rest he can get is almost the same as sleeping.

After research, it was found that the communication center is essentially an ability to extend the control of external equipment. It is especially effective for equipment on starships. A basic routine is to first read the data of a certain starship, master its engineering structure, and then

Connect to its communication center. Generally, commercial starships will leave engineering backdoors for easy maintenance, which will greatly reduce the computing power usage when the brain-controlled body takes over. Through the communication center capability, Alex can remotely control some

The technological level of starships is not that complex, or the equipment inside can be used unknowingly to obtain the stored data.

But for those starships that do not have engineering maintenance backdoors in the data, or that have blocked these loopholes, the communication center is really just a communication center. The only thing that can be done is to eavesdrop and understand the situation inside the ship.

Then there is the blocking of communication so that the other party cannot receive or send information. The blocking function requires a lot of computing power. Alex tried it and found that using the clearing cannon was more effective.

The last way to use it is to use the connected communication system to send and receive information in Alex's head with greater power, acting as a communication "hub". Alex can access the communication system and his computer at the same time.

It is related to computing power. In theory, communication with different rules and standards can be tied together, and even interconnection across technological levels can be achieved. However, after thinking about it, he felt that this function was really not very useful.

Alex took a comprehensive look at the several abilities that the brain-controlled body has acquired, and found that they are more and more like the control system of a starship. The protection of the underworld is mainly aimed at detecting the zero-order world, but it can also spy on other systems.

Protective effect; external device control gives Alex priority control, and the extension of computing power gives him the ability to transfer and bear the system load. The visual touch screen and communication center extend his control capabilities and no longer rely on direct use.

The way hands touch.

"With all these systems turned on, I can sail the ship from anywhere on the Flowing Horse." Alex thought about it carefully and came to this conclusion. "The environmental circulation system is spread throughout the starship and is connected through it.

Enter the central control system, and then use the captain's authority. The information from the console can be projected onto the retina, and the brain control body replaces the control interface. Well, it seems that I have become a starship."

There is no use in piloting a starship while lying on the bed in the captain's cabin, but it is completely different to control the mine cannon in a safe place. The mine cannon needs to be connected to the brain control body, but it is not said that it must be a direct contact connection method.

After Alex uses the communication center to control the mine cannon as an external device, it already has the brain control body needed for combat. In the future, when the mine cannon extends out of the cargo bay door, Alex does not need to go out with it.

, which greatly improves his security.

"Using the communication center can also improve the coordination of the clearing cannon and the mining cannon. Well, it's a pity that the computing power is not enough. If there is one more external device slot, I can completely control both of them at the same time. Keep practicing, it will happen

Study Amy’s Captain’s Textbook Series.”

Without the company of the stars, you need to find something to do for yourself when sailing in the dark, otherwise you will really be harassed by boredom. Alex is busy studying, and others are not idle either. Mr. Jin is the captain’s teacher and is completing his lectures

Afterwards, she would go to rest and meditate on the transplanted trees in the cargo hold. Amy spent most of her time on duty on the bridge, and the rest of the time she could be found in the activity room. She and Alex took turns using the mobile computing center.

In order to improve computing power.

The little fox basically travels between her residence, the medical cabin and the cargo cabin's ecological circle. After undergoing genetic immunotherapy, she still needs to sleep for a long time every day. When she wakes up, she will regularly go to the medical cabin to record her physical condition and smoke.

Some blood samples were stored. Every time she passed the gravity catapult queue, she would check for new mail from home. She was always thinking about her compatriots on Tanuki.

Compared with others, Hong and Green spend their days mainly checking the information on the Slow Network. Behind the heavy cover of the complex information on the Slow Network, there is a secret network based on complex ciphertexts, and there may be treasures hidden in it. Red

The Green Society downloaded the announcements and advertisements near the gravity catapult, and then slowly disassembled and analyzed them. Every time Alex asked her what she had discovered, she would say, "Intelligence work is a long and boring thing with slow returns."

, can’t be in a hurry.”

Boss Pluto, the only non-biological intelligence on the ship, has no real schedule, and is also the only one who has a more fulfilling life than Alex. She can often be seen sitting on the floor of the cargo hold, using an energy stick to

Xian obtained extra energy from the engine of the Xiangyun behind her. The workload of analyzing the crystal was huge, and it had reached the energy supply limit of the Faceless Man's head equipment. Alex suggested that she use the energy system of the Liuma, but Boss Ming refused.

"The energy system of the Xiangyun has been modified, and the energy flow is more suitable for my needs. The Liuma is relatively too strong." Boss Ming said: "Captain, I have made some discoveries recently and need to build some equipment. Can use the cargo bay 3D

Printer?”

"Use it as you like. If you don't have any consumables, just let me know in advance." Alex said, "What do you want to build? If it's for starships, maybe I can help."

"A detection radar is used to capture the signal of the planet and help us locate it on a planet."

"Is that the thing that looks like a vacuum cleaner?"

"The functions are similar, but the scale is larger. If everything goes well, it can be completed before reaching the destination."
