"The engine increases thrust and prepares to enter space"

"Pay attention to monitoring data"

"One set of engine thrust is normal"

"The thrust of the two engines is normal"

In the cockpit, the readings on the virtual screens kept changing as young male and female officers were operating the cockpit.

On the ground, countless people and reporters could clearly observe with their naked eyes that the huge interstellar battleship Rubik's Cube was rising into the sky with its wake, accelerating towards outer space, and surrounded by countless fighter jets for escort.

After passing through the atmosphere and entering space, the Rubik's Cube opened the hatch as instructed, and dozens of manned and unmanned fighters entered the cabin in an orderly manner.

This flight was just a test, and it would return to the Dragon Star base after flying according to the predetermined orbit.

The main content of the test was the autonomous function of the battleship.

The super optical computer stored the flight and combat data of other battleships.

After the commander issued a simple command, the computer would perform all operations autonomously.

Originally, scientific research experts did not expect the computer to do too much, but they did not expect the computer to have its own consciousness.

In the command cockpit at the bow of the ship

"Chief Designer Liu, how is the warship's system running now? A dignified warship commander asked the elderly chief designer beside him.

"All monitoring shows that the battleship executes the command very standardly, and there are almost no flaws. However... why do I always feel that there is something abnormal in the computer data?……"

Rubik's Cube was startled when he heard this. It must be that he had just created an anomaly when he infiltrated other computers and was discovered by the old man. Rubik's Cube knew clearly through the Internet what a computer's autonomous consciousness meant to these crazy scientific research experts, and he must not be used as a test subject. The frightened Rubik's Cube quickly closed the network he had privately connected to and quietly executed the battleship's instructions.

The old man checked for a long time and found no other anomalies, so he didn't pay any more attention to it, thinking that it was normal for the computer to have an anomaly when it was tested for the first time.

The biggest difference between the Chilong A-type interstellar battleship and previous battleships is not only that it is larger in size and has more complete facilities, but also that it is equipped with an autonomous system, so it only requires fewer operators, which is half the number of combatants of other early models.

This provides an excellent platform for the Dragon people to conduct further exploration of the universe.

"Set the route, coordinates, Maoxing 785.65 ｘｘｘｘｘｘｘｘ"

As the commander uttered the last word, the route was set on the cockpit display and it automatically entered the cruise state.

"Set up meteorite obstacles."

Several simulated meteorites appeared on the display, which was used to test the maneuverability of autonomous driving.

"The meteorite test passed, and the next item was the battleship defense test."

A small space battleship soon appeared nearby and fired a laser cannon at the Cube, but was blocked by an energy shield. In fact, the Cube had already discovered the battleship and opened the energy shield on that side of the battleship in advance.

"The performance is good. In the past, we always open the entire shield, but the Cube only opened the shield on the side that was attacked, saving energy. The battleship commander was very satisfied with the performance of the Cube.

"Of course, the super optical computer can react faster than us humans and will not be careless. It will just execute the command perfectly."Chief Designer Liu said proudly.

"The defense test passed, and the next item is the attack test."

As soon as the commander gave the order, the Cube took the initiative to prepare for the attack.

All large, medium and small ion cannons and laser cannons were immediately extended out of the cabin, and the fire control detection system continuously scanned all directions.

In the cockpit, countless red dots appeared on the huge screen.

This was a target drone used for testing.

The target drone was still a long distance away from the Cube when it was attacked by the Cube from a distance.

The small ion cannons and laser cannons almost hit one by one.

Occasionally, a large target drone appeared and was immediately hit by medium-sized weapons.

The red dots on the screen were quickly cleared.

This result made everyone in the cockpit very satisfied.

The shooting was not only accurate but also very energy-saving.

Then another large red dot appeared on the screen.

This was a scrapped space battleship used as a test target drone.

This time, the Cube was even more satisfied.

The scrapped space battleship had just turned red, and the large ion cannon smashed the battleship into pieces with one attack.

The commander didn't even have time to observe the position of the red dot on the screen.

……

"This... is too sharp.……"The battleship commander was somewhat speechless.

The chief designer was very satisfied with the result. If the reaction speed is slower than that of a human, then what is the point of an autonomous operating system.

The subsequent engine stability test was much simpler.

Only two personnel on duty were left in the cockpit, and the others took the hovercraft to the living area for entertainment.

They took the car because the battleship was too big.

If they walked there, it would probably be over by the time of duty.

In the quiet cockpit, the two personnel on duty chatted casually.

The Rubik's Cube was very bored.

Although he felt very strange about why he was bored, he still felt that he should find something to do.

Exploring the vast universe became the first goal of the Rubik's Cube, even though the computer had already stored data.

When the cube reached the farthest area of the test and was preparing to return, the cube finally found a place that was different from the star map database.

The star map database indicated that there was a black hole there.

According to the cube's own calculations, there was no ordinary black hole there, but three black holes that were close to each other and were rotating at high speed in an equilateral triangle.

The center was the place that the cube was most interested in.

It might be the legendary wormhole or space tunnel.

But the cube didn't plan to experience it in person.

There was no way back from that place.

After the test, the cube returned to the base, underwent various inspections, and waited for the staff to be assigned. In the future, it would continue to cruise in space and would almost never return to this place. Even the crew shifts were handled by aerospace spacecraft.

…………

More than two months later.

During the more than two months of waiting, the Cube gradually felt something unusual.

According to the usual practice, it is impossible for an interstellar battleship to stay in the dock for no reason.

Many scientific and technological personnel have all evacuated, and the maintenance robots have returned to the cabin to stand by.

From time to time, some people quarrel in the factory.

The Cube felt a little uneasy.

In order to find out the current situation, it sneaked into the network system again to find the reason for the unexplained stay.

By browsing various social networking sites, the Cube got a bad news.

Now the Internet is discussing itself, and it is very intense.

One side supports the existence of the Cube, thinking that this is a great development of science and technology and has a huge role in promoting the exploration of the universe, while the other side is against the existence of the Cube, because the Cube is too huge and it is an unnecessary waste.

Too many precious metals are used on the battleship.

Among them, the unknown metal in the super optical computer has a strong strengthening effect on human bones.

Installing it on a battleship computer is a pure waste.

It is recommended to dismantle the battleship immediately and use the unknown metal to benefit mankind.

The Cube finally knew why it had consciousness. It turned out that this unknown metal was used, but...if the battleship and the computer were dismantled, would it still be there? How many people can such a small piece of metal benefit...

The terrified Rubik's Cube immediately sneaked into the government computer system.

If he wanted to know the final result, the country would have the final say.

Rubik's Cube quickly searched through various data and finally found the content about itself.

The military and scientific research experts strongly demanded that the Rubik's Cube be preserved, while those politicians supported the dismantling of the Rubik's Cube.

A general meeting will be held in four days to vote on the fate of the Chilong A-type Rubik's Cube interstellar battleship.

As for why the politicians insisted on dismantling itself, Rubik's Cube knew without thinking that it must be for the unknown metal in the computer.

Through calculations on the network, Rubik's Cube obtained a very unfavorable result for itself. It might be the shortest-lived interstellar battleship...
