With a flash of light, the warped space gradually calmed down, and the Giant Turtle Rock Platform emerged from the vast space.
This is the frontier outpost of the drone swarm. The drone nest that was converted from an asteroid and looks like a twisted nest is still floating quietly in the distance. Compared with the last time, this outpost has become
There has been some development, and some newly built space factories and connecting structures can be seen around the outpost. Space guard towers equipped with sentry guns are neatly arranged around these newly built structures, guarding the vast area like lighthouses.
The Ark Fleet is anchored within the protective range of these guard towers.
All Arks are currently in a stationary state. Nolan used external controllers to forcibly cut off the energy of these spacecrafts to save their fuel and took this opportunity to carry out emergency repairs on them, removing the most severely damaged engines and warp space.
The machine barely recovered to the point where it could continue to work. The Giant Turtle Yantai slid quietly and briskly in space, and finally landed lightly on the outer shell of the "Throne" ark.
Katrina looked at the situation outside the spacecraft from the bridge of the Giant Turtle Platform. Although this was not the first time she took a spaceship, she was still very interested in this magical space journey, and when she saw those huge
When she saw the Ark, all her interest turned into surprise.
"This ark is bigger than I expected," the Siren Queen exclaimed softly, "...it exceeds the size of Nasatorn."
And the two siren scribes she brought with her were in space for the first time. The two snake girls were completely stunned at this moment, and they didn't even notice that their tails were tied together unknowingly.
Vivian glanced at Katrina indifferently: "You have also built interstellar arks before. If it were the Kraken back then, you should be able to build something of this scale. Nasatorn is essentially nothing like these arks
the difference."
After hearing this, the Siren Queen shook her head slightly and sighed: "We live a comfortable life now, but we have lost the technology of the past. The people in these arks have an entire fleet, but they have returned to primitive society. Everyone has fallen into this state,
Why talk about the glory of the past?"
"Nolan. Warm up these Ark engines," Hao Ren gently knocked on the console of the Giant Turtle Rock, "and call Lawrence."
The console of the spacecraft immediately brightened up, and then a little Nolan, who was only the size of a palm, got out of the gap in the console: "Okay, okay. Stop knocking, stop knocking, I am testing the system..."
Hao Ren was preparing to talk to Lawrence with a serious look on his face when he suddenly saw mini-Nolan coming out and was stunned: "How did you become like this?"
"You're still asking me?" Nolan put his hands on his hips and glared at Hao Ren, "Didn't you download a large-scale space storage enhancement plug-in for the spaceship host? The host computer doesn't have enough computing power, so I used all the messy and useless functions.
Turn it off and lower your resolution to save resources."
Hao Ren was stunned for two seconds before he remembered that the "large space storage warehouse" Nolan was talking about was what he applied for from Raven 145. It was used to transport the Ark giant ship more than a hundred kilometers long to the surface.
The so-called "storage warehouse" in the world is not a tangible piece of equipment, but just a piece of information that humans cannot understand. After loading this piece of information into the main engine of the Giant Turtle Yantai, his spacecraft will have a diameter of
A super container that reaches hundreds of kilometers. However, this super container will consume a huge amount of the host resources of the Giant Turtle Yantai, so Nolan became like this.
"To be honest, what is the principle of this..." Hao Ren rubbed his chin and muttered as he looked at the palm-sized little Nolan, who still kept his arms akimbo: "What principle can this have? Lower the resolution..."
"I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about that container," Hao Ren said as he poked at the data terminal at hand, "Why did the hardware functions of the spacecraft change after downloading a code to the host?"
"This is called the authorization upgrade agreement," the data terminal knew that Hao Ren was going to ask this and immediately explained, "Do you think the hardware structure of the spacecraft has not changed? The hardware structure has long been changed along with that code. Any imperial equipment is not
It is fixed, and every detail of it can be refreshed and reorganized. What determines their functional structure is only the core program of these devices, that is, the pile of things running on the host machine. To put it bluntly, as long as this program changes, your spaceship will be affected at any time.
It can be reorganized into any form, including but not limited to trebuchets and excavators, as long as the new form does not exceed the computing limit of the host. Therefore, as long as your superior authority issues a suitable blueprint, the Giant Turtle Rock Platform number will be available in real time.
Upgrade and reorganization, that’s what I told you about the spacecraft plug-in replacement. Do you think the reviewers who installed plug-ins on the spacecraft just drove the ship and lined up to go to the 4S shop to dismantle it?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a while as he listened, and said to himself that he had really thought that when upgrading the system of the spacecraft, he would need to drive it to some maintenance shop to get it done. He never thought that this thing was so high-tech that just flashing the machine would connect the hardware.
One piece refreshed...
At this time, little Nolan had completed restarting those Ark engines. Against the dark background of space, lights lit up on the surfaces of the thirteen giant ships, and the old ancient engines started running again after resting for a few days. At the same time,
, the communicator on the console was also activated, the holographic projection flashed a few times, and an old man with white hair and beard appeared on the screen.
Lawrence's expression looked a little excited and confused. It seemed that the communication came suddenly, leaving him unprepared for a moment. The old man was stunned for a while and then asked: "Your Excellency Hao Ren? Are you calling me?"
"Um... you should just call me Hao Ren. 'Your Excellency' sounds weird." Hao Ren waved his hand and looked serious, "Are you ready? I have found a temporary place for the Ark."
Lawrence's first reaction was...no reaction.
The old man didn't understand what Hao Ren meant for a while, and after he understood it, he couldn't believe his ears. When he realized that this "temporary place to stay" referred to a planet, he didn't
Any joy or excitement, because the emotion of shock had completely overwhelmed these two emotions. It was not until Hao Ren repeated his words again that Lawrence suddenly woke up: "You mean a new planet?!"
"It is leased to you," Hao Ren explained this in advance, then turned slightly sideways and asked Katrina to step forward, "The planet you are about to rent is called 'Io', and this is the queen of Io.
At present, due to some reasons, the queen and her tribe are not living in Io for the time being, so the planet can be loaned to you temporarily. I hope you can discuss the specific regulations."
"Where are you now?!"
"It's on the outer shell of your ark," Hao Ren laughed. "Can you leave now? It's best for you and the queen to discuss it on my spaceship. There are complete recording equipment here that can record all the things you have agreed upon.
Terms.”
Lawrence looked around. Judging from the background of the image, he should be in a relatively high-end room, perhaps a king's castle, or a bachelor's library. He nodded: "I can follow
They said I was going to the Forge of the Ancients to gain knowledge. Now I have extremely high authority among these people, and they will not question my words as long as the Forge of the Ancients is involved."
Hao Ren hummed: "Well, very good, you tell the people around you, and then I will ask the data terminal to pick you up directly."
After the communication was hung up, "Gun" came over from the side with her head pierced. She pulled Hao Ren's sleeve: "Big Cat, are you done?"
Hao Ren looked at Silly Cat in confusion: "That's it. What are you doing?"
"Go" suddenly looked very happy and pointed at little Nolan who was sitting on the edge of the console in a daze: "Then can I eat mice?"
Hao Ren: "...just lie down!"
A moment later, Lawrence was teleported directly to the teleportation room of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform.
The old man was wearing a coarse gray-white robe, like the bachelors of the Craftworld, with many weird decorations hanging on his chest. His beard and hair were all white, and he was holding a long hard staff in his hand when he walked out of the teleportation room.
He is like an old mage from some fantasy medieval world, and like an old prophet who is ready to lead the people. This second impression is very consistent with his current position in the Ark.
The Nangong brothers and sisters took the old man out of the teleportation room. Hao Ren immediately stepped forward to greet Lawrence after seeing him, and then opened the main holographic image of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, which showed the full view of the Ark Fleet: "See it with your own eyes again
How do these ships feel?"
Lawrence looked steadily at the vast space on the holographic image and the thirteen giant ships neatly arranged in the space. After a long time, he sighed softly: "These ships and I are too old..."
Vivian got out of the way between Lawrence and Katrina: "Then before you old guys shut down completely, find a way for the young people." (~^~)
