Star Empire

"I would like to remind everyone that although this ship has been decommissioned, there are still some areas here that are not allowed to be accessed by individuals with inappropriate permissions."

"Always follow the guidelines when attempting to use the device - deliberate overstepping will result in a warning."

"I hereby call on everyone to follow the instructions when performing professional operations. While abiding by the rules, your actions will also be remembered by the empire. These memories - they will serve as valuable materials for the next emergence of the empire. Ritual provides fresh blood and surging motivation.”

…

"I feel the gap, a very large gap. The things we have seen are absolutely impossible to put together. They are from different eras - if they are put together, many things must not exist! They should not be like this Appear!"

"But the reality is that they do go together, and it's like you've been fighting with antique-level guns before, but now you're visiting a place like this. isha354588, calm down."

"Oh... okay, I'll try my best."

"Here... it feels like a small world. It has many functions. It shouldn't be a problem to be self-sufficient..." After comforting isha354588, lhjl1864343 turned his attention back to the information floating around him.

"Wait a minute... The mission book says that after going through the process of 'visiting the imperial battleship and learning some of the control content', we may complete a course... How do you say this?"

"lhjl1864343, take a look at this." Kriz stopped in front of a group of light and shadow, "Can it help us learn an entire course?"

"Let me see... the information injection gate?" lhjl1864343 clicked on the operating instructions for the light and shadow mass in front of him, which may be called "equipment". "You can access it with the correct permissions. Connect with it in the form of direct mental connection. It seems that the device can help users memorize and master a large amount of information in a short period of time through interaction with the device, so I’ll give it a try?”

"Well, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Kriz blinked. Although he had not experienced it in practice, the comments flowing from the light and shadow told him that this device seemed not simple - if it was used to teach, I'm afraid the meaning of "classroom" will cease to exist.

".I don't think there is any problem. I think xs4028, sometimes you worry too much?" lhjl1864343 didn't know what Kriz saw. He followed the instructions and started the device. The light and shadow in front of it began to move, and it grew some "tentacles". There was a slight lag after these tentacles were generated, and then they slowly wrapped around lhjl1864343's body.

"What kind of interactive mode is this? Ah, I'm so dizzy!" A soft exclamation suddenly came from the Empire's new student who was entangled in the ball of light.

"Wait, these lights. They are not entangled, but connected? The interface at the other end is my spiritual power? I understand, the moment I fainted just now was my spiritual power being drawn out to establish this interaction. Passage. Let’s see what course is better to take. "Introduction to the History of the Development of Imperial Ships"? Judging from the name, this course should be of the type with a lot of long lectures. So give this a try, start - —”

The device was successfully activated by lhjl1864343, and at this moment, lhjl1864343 felt that the boundless sea of ​​stars seemed to have gathered into a big wave pressing towards him. Countless words and sentences were poured into his mind from all directions, and he was like It's like being "opened". However, this discomfort was fleeting, and the tide of the sea of ​​stars that swallowed the sky changed its trajectory. They turned into countless queues - countless queues that moved in an orderly and uniform manner.

Catering to lhjl1864343's surprise, these neatly arranged information chains entered his memory one after another. lhjl1864343 felt that more and more names of various ships and words related to them began to appear in his memory.

No, it's not even just that - lhjl1864343 also felt that he had seen many scenes, many scenes that could make those obscure sentences intuitively express their meaning. Scenes that he had never experienced flashed through one after another, and they were deeply embedded in his memory, but he had never seen them before.

"...lhjl1864343, lhjl1864343, dormitory leader?" Several exchanges that seemed far away broke into lhjl1864343's consciousness, pulling him back from the state of disconnection caused by the shock.

"After using this thing... I feel that all my previous classes have been in vain. I finally know the basis for the "different training plans" and "completely different feelings" mentioned in the freshman forum. If Put this thing in the school... I dare not say less, we can graduate in five days at most!"

"That's why I said before, "This won't be a problem...""

"...Is that so?! Then I have to do the math to see what level you are on, xs4028..."

…

"The observation system and targeting system are similar to biological structures. But they are more complex and precise."

"There are differences, there are many annotations, and the normal state is the limit of biological structure."

"Not really, it's just that we haven't evolved yet."

"The Movilla Tree is up there, we still need to make progress."

In the unpredictable sea of ​​light of the ship, several insects that looked like spiders but had no potbelly and were wearing silver-white surgical masks were surrounding a ball of light and shadow. This group of light and shadow is the detection center of the ship, and it can also be used for fire control. The bugs opened up their mental power and penetrated deep into the equipment group. Through the guidance and amplification of the equipment group, the situation deep in the world is clearly presented before their "eyes".

"Excuse me, Movilla nodes. Can I borrow the introduction, process and results of the freshman tour?"

"Okay, please." A few insects raised their bodies slightly to look at the people floating over, and then ignored them.

"Thank you for your cooperation." sda45345 "nodded" and then focused on the students in front of him again. "The Zerg who are currently experiencing the functions of the equipment agreed to let us use their observation process to explain. The observation process has now been Synchronously, the scene you are seeing now is the real scene seen through the ship-based system."

".It is quite different from the world we usually see, and it contains many, many annotations. Isn't it tiring to look at it like this?"

"How do you say this looks a bit like this? I don't know if you have ever tried to turn on the emergency escape filter. I once tried to turn on the emergency escape filter myself. Everything around me under that filter was very similar to this one. It was very similar. There may be no comments. So much, but it’s also like this. How to put it, first you feel that all the scenes around you are being squashed, squashed, squashed, and then expanded.”

"But the scene after unfolding is different from before. What you can see is no longer the original appearance of things, but you can see the range they occupy, the space-time specifications they occupy. There is also the direction of change and The degree of distortion and deviation, etc. That filter was very tiring to use, so I turned it off without looking carefully."

"Three-rank vision, this classmate is right. The battleship's scanning system does include a three-rank scanning system. However, this is not comprehensive. The battleship's scanning system is diverse and comprehensive."

"In this entire system, there are multiple subsystems that provide computing services for a target at the same time. Three-rank scanning, that is, the method of locking the target by determining the time rank, spatial rank and distortion rank is very commonly used. Its advantage is accuracy. The disadvantage is that it requires a lot of computing resources. The scanning method of scanning the intensity of reality and determining the existence of reality has the advantages of wide scanning range and good fuzzy accuracy, but it is difficult to use for precise locking."

"Due to the complexity and change of battlefield conditions, we are currently unable to make a system achieve a comprehensive and perfect win-win function. Therefore, in actual use, we will select different systems for combination and use according to the actual situation to achieve Best results."

"You can pay attention to the fact that the targets selected by these nodes during the observation process are very representative. We can see that when targeting different objects, the derived feedback we receive is different. Complex and harsh environment Under such circumstances, direct detection may not directly give us clear data. At such times, these derived feedbacks can help us quickly determine the type of target and the attributes that the target may have."

"To be honest, I was really shocked to finish a course in such a short time." lhjl1864343 hit his swollen head hard, "It's not good. I think I may need to find a way to add more storage space. Then you need to adjust the instantaneous bandwidth."

"It sounds like a lot of hard work." Kriz was floating next to lhjl1864343. There is no "road" here at all, and they can only drift forward bit by bit based on the guidance provided by the navigation chart that they can barely understand.

"Look here, the guidance instructions on the navigation map are marked. This is the terminal location of the "Combat Recovery System". According to the instructions, individuals who are injured or have their bodies damaged in the battlefield can be repaired here."

"Visual inspection. We can't experience its function anymore. This thing can only be used by seriously injured people who cannot recover themselves and lives whose bodies have suffered devastating damage." Kriz stared at the fog that was obviously much thicker than the surroundings, and then At once, countless comments flashed through his eyes, like a sea of ​​stars hanging upside down falling into the abyss.

"However, it is not simple that this kind of thing can exist and even be popularized to such a spaceship, which is very high in the fleet. And if this thing can also follow the concept of unlimited anti-crowding, its role will be I can’t even imagine the amount of effort it takes to make something like this.” Kriz blinked, “The soul is a complicated thing, it can even be said to be mysterious, mysterious, and wonderful.”

"Why did you say that suddenly?"

"Ah, I just saw it."

"See, it seems that we haven't studied soul subjects systematically yet." Faced with Kriz's answer, lhjl1864343 didn't quite agree. But considering that my roommate has always seemed a bit mysterious, it seems that there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

"I" Just when Kriz realized that he had inadvertently acted a little too much and wanted to show the outside world that he was different from the people around him, a sharp warning suddenly flashed across the sea of ​​light: "Attention, it's about to happen." Emergency drills have begun, and all Imperial presences are requested to pay attention."

"Emergency drill? What happened this time?" Recalling the information he received during the previous earthquake, lhjl1864343 was a little surprised.

"Maybe it's to make the drill more realistic. After all, there are too many things that may happen in a real situation, and not everything will go according to plan." Kriz had just finished half of what he said when he suddenly felt a wave of pain on his body. Changes began to occur: some kind of white light began to seep out of the body, and as his coat quickly disintegrated and dissipated, a white tight-fitting suit that seemed to be somewhat original appeared on his body.

"What is this?!" Looking at the sudden changes on his body, Kriz couldn't help but recall the first piece of clothing he ever wore, which was the "initial suit" he wore when he was born. However, this new tights has more accessories than the original suit - there are several tool bags bundled with the clothes in easy-to-hand locations. And there are armors on the torso and head. It seems that it can also provide a certain degree of defense?

"This is not a change in our subjective will control. This should be the same process as when dealing with an earthquake. It is preset. Once the conditions are met, it will be triggered immediately."

Kriz looked at the other people around him. They had all put on similar outfits. The changes in the Zerg individuals are even more obvious. In addition to the original shell, their bodies have an extra layer of silver-white protective armor. Like the protective clothing that people wear, the insects' additional shells also have golden lines that fit the curves of their bodies. And in the most conspicuous position, a golden Star Empire national emblem seemed to be flashing in different ways.

"Why do you need to wear such a piece of clothing?" Kriz was a little confused about this. "Our bodies are still very strong. Under normal circumstances, we can do it without protection."

Before he could finish his words, the sudden change in the surrounding light sea choked his words back to his stomach - the flowing light seemed to be frozen in an instant. Then, hard lines began to emerge from the solidified light. Kriz saw the physical appearance of the equipment, the huge support equipment group connected behind them, and the complex pipe network like blood that ran through the entire ship. Finally, he only saw all the passages of the entire ship. All are restrained by thick cabin bulkheads.

"What situation requires this method to be dealt with?" Kriz focused his attention on the bulkhead. From the comments flowing out, he noticed that this situation seemed to be used when a large number of supporting theories were not established. arrive?

Invisibly, there seemed to be a thunderbolt flashing past.

"The ship encountered an emergency. We were covered by the anti-pataphysical realm. The ship is currently losing power. We need to manually start the backup engine of the ship to deal with this situation. Please follow the guidance and walk to the location of the engine activation port."

".on foot?"

"Just throw your legs away and run!"

".This is really real."

"Run quickly, the road is not short."

"Wait, look...the ship's lights are starting to go out!"

"The equipment seems to have started to stop functioning... This ship seems to be losing its life..."

…

This "long-distance run" is very long - the length of the major axis of the Truth class itself is more than 300 kilometers. In addition, the passage in the hull is not straight and straight. After running, it may be 500 kilometers or 600 kilometers. After that, everyone rearranged their lines in a slightly open room.

"Very good, everyone is here. I hope that in the days to come, in addition to taking care of yourself when taking collective actions, you should also pay attention to the people around you! Report any situation at any time! This is very important!"

"Speaking of which, did you notice that just when the ship body started to change, a manufacturing process was activated inside our body, and the output point of the finished product does not point to the portable space, but to the spiritual space."

"I noticed it, and I took a rough look at what it was. How should I say, that thing is a stick, but it's not straight. It was bent twice."

".Handbar?"

"It should be called that, and it seems to have some additional complex structures that require additional activation."

"lhjl1864343, xs4028, what's the problem with you two?!"

"No, sir!"

"That's good - as you can see, we are currently in the backup engine room. And this is the activation port of the backup engine." Sda45345, who is responsible for the ship, pointed to a small hole in the wall behind him. "Next, I'll teach you how to activate the backup engine to deal with this emergency. Everyone has made the starter key on the way here, please take it out now."

"Start the key? When?"

"Speaking of which, a manufacturing process was started inside the body on the way here, but the finished product is in the mental space?!"

"It's so long. When I first saw this thing, it was hard to imagine how it could be stored in my body."

"It is not stored in your body. It was clearly stored in the space that you imagined in your mind..."

"Has everyone got this key? Okay, please don't operate it yourself yet and wait for my next explanation. xs4028 is listed."

"Yes." Kriz took a step forward. At this time, the "key" in his hand was held vertically, which made him hold it as if it were a spear "standing upright."

"Very good, now please insert the "key" into the boot port. Be sure to insert the key all the way, otherwise the blades of the key will not be able to engage with the boot disk gap reserved deep in the boot port."

"yes."

"Okay, now let me explain to you how to use this key." While Kriz was poking the key, sda45345 looked at the "Lance of Spearmen" in front of him again, "xs4028, is the key already there? In place?"

"Already in place."

"Okay, then, please pay attention. You can see that there is a protruding part on the shorter longitudinal rod of the key. Now, please twist this rod in a relatively left-hand direction. "

"Twist?" Everyone did so, and the quiet room was once again filled with a series of "click-click-click" metal collision sounds. While the "protrusion" of this section of the rod is getting smaller and smaller, and the threaded section in the rod is getting shorter and shorter, circles of fan blades appear on the key that is dozens of meters long. , making the key itself look like a rotor removed from an ancient steam turbine.

"Everyone must make sure to twist it to the end, until you can no longer rotate this section of the rod with your strength. You can just watch the next part. xs4028, are the fan blades fixed in place?"

"Already in place."

"Okay, now start turning the key to the left."

"Key, key, isn't this just a crank handle with fan blades?" Thinking of the scene he had seen before, Kriz couldn't help but muttered in his heart. Then, he grasped the handle of the rocker tightly, preparing to rotate it as required. "Huh?"

Kriz's initial attempt was unsuccessful - the power he was currently using was not enough to make the big guys inside the port spin.

"Tsk." Seeing this scene, Kriz remembered the scenes he had seen before, in which the wise men tried their best to shake the handle. He turned around and came to the side of the tremolo, held the outer handle of the tremolo tightly with both hands and exerted the greatest force he had recorded so far.

The rocker began to rotate slowly. Although Kriz had used a considerable amount of force, the effect of this force on the outer rotating disk engaged with the fan blades of the rocker was also very limited. ——Just let those rotating disks move slightly at an extremely slow speed. But Kriz soon felt that the force he needed to use had begun to decrease - as the rotation speed of the rotating disks inside the activation port increased, it was becoming easier and easier to turn them.

"Very good, keep it up. Everyone has looked over. When starting the battleship in this way, people who use the key will have this feeling - making the first turn of the key is the most difficult, as long as the key can be turned After the first turn, you can easily make it turn the second and third turns. At the same time, everyone can look here-" A real-time projection of the ship appeared in the open space in the center of the room. In the dim environment, every line in this picture appears bright and conspicuous.

Everyone soon discovered that, unlike the truth-class appearance in their memories, the appearance of the hull in the picture had changed significantly: there was a pair of "wings" extending outboard at the front and rear ends of the ship, huge. The propeller blades are fixed to the front edge of the wing.

"It's very similar to what I saw on the observation boat before. Is this thing standard equipment..." Kriz recalled the propeller he had seen before and was "buried" in the hull. . The rocker in your hand is now very light, and you can make the rocker rotate as long as you apply a little corresponding force.

The crank continued to rotate. Under the combined action of many layers of fan blades and amplification mechanisms, the four huge propellers in the image began to shake slightly, and then they began to rotate.

"The equipment is activating! The lighting has been restored!"

"But...why does it still feel a lot darker than before?"

"Okay, at this point the startup work has been completed. Next, we need to reverse the screw of the key to retract the blade. xs4028, return to the team after completing this work."

"Understood."

"Everyone can see that in such an emergency, one person's power can bring such a huge spacecraft back to life!"

"Now, please remember the key to supporting the establishment of this approach, and remember the most resounding name of the key in your hands——"

Having said this, sda45345 has already raised the long pole in his hand high. Although sda45345 had tried his best to control his emotions, there was still considerable excitement and excitement in his words.

"——Stir the Sword of Variables!!"
