Chapter 5 The Ina in the Nest

Since after the inheritance ceremony, the ship spirit Ina had to answer Cheng Yuan's questions, so he quickly answered the questions and understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.

It turned out that Cheng Yuan was now on a spaceship named Ina, which originally belonged to a nobleman in the Yilan Alliance, a high-level civilization in the outer region, and was translated as Lord Astor's estate, and it was a lifeboat.

Due to Ina's database being somewhat damaged, the details are incomplete, only that Lord Astor is in the Ylan Alliance, an existence similar to an explorer, whose job is to open up new colonized planets.

Due to the extremely developed civilization of the Ylang Alliance, almost all the suitable places for development in the area that can be controlled around have been discovered and developed, and it is really difficult to find a new unowned planet that has no advanced intelligence natives, has not been privatized, and has high value.

However, the universe is too large for the Ylang Alliance to control everything, and there will always be countless possibilities in the countless unexplored star fields, even if it is dangerous.

In this way, Aster, who had just come of age and became a nobleman, followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and progressed to the unknown sparse region star field, wanting to open up a new world for himself, for his family, and for the Federation!

After he drove his own expedition mothership Astor and finally discovered a high-value star system in a certain star field after a long regular interstellar trip, he made a space-time mark in the local area, and planned to return to the main star of the alliance and apply to become the master of that star system.

What I want to say here is that in the process of interstellar exploration, in order to explore carefully, it is often necessary to carry out a conventional sub-light speed flight, and if you find something valuable and want to go back, you can directly carry out a space jump flight and go home in an instant.

But on the way back, when the spacecraft was about to make a curved space jump flight, Astor's luck was against the sky, and he happened to encounter a space-time storm, and the result was extremely sloppy, Astor destroyed the mothership in time at the moment when the mothership was about to be sucked into the space-time black hole, and took the Ina lifeboat instead, and at the moment of the mothership's explosion, he used the reaction force of the explosion to escape the pull of the space-time storm, but was teleported to a strange underdeveloped star field.

In interstellar voyages, especially in interstellar expeditions in unknown passages, due to the complex environment, once you fall into some unfamiliar star fields, you don't expect to call for help, endless distance, endless space, endless magnetism, gravity, dark energy, dark matter...... Any kind of small interference can make your distress signal go to no one else, but it can't be transmitted back to the place you want to transmit, all you can do is save yourself.

At that time, the power system of the Ina was also seriously damaged due to the big explosion, and she was no longer able to do long-distance interstellar voyages, so she had to find a place to anchor and replenish her new abilities, but in this unfamiliar star field, he didn't know where to go.

Eventually, after some exploration, Astor discovered that there was a star system near his star field, and there was a planet in that star system that was already full of life.

That's right, Astor was transported to the edge of the solar system, and the planet he found in the star system with life was Earth.

According to the detection, the planet with life activities is not rich in resources, and the civilization is also very low-level, but it is finally a civilized planet, and there are some useful resources, suitable for him to settle down temporarily, so he entered the gravitational range of the solar system with the Ina ship, and then combined with the gravitational force of the sun and the power of the spacecraft, came to the earth, and in order to avoid being discovered by the earthlings, the spacecraft itself is currently hiding in the depths of the Mariana Trench.

The simple origin of the Ina is clear, and the next thing is the situation of the Ina itself.

The structure of this Ina spaceship is very different from the spaceship in Cheng Yuan's impression, it is not a flying saucer or a pencil-shaped, but a large ball, and all the cabins are distributed in this large ball.

The most central part of this spherical spacecraft is the core power area, and around the core power area, four major areas are separated layer by layer according to their functions.

The order of the circle of these four areas from the inside to the outside is the core area, the living area, the storage area, and the isolation area.

The place where Cheng Yuan was just teleported was in a teleportation chamber in the outermost isolation area, and the command room where he was now was in the core area.

To use a metaphor, the whole spaceship is like a large round onion, layer upon layer, simply a simplified version of a terrestrial planet.

Among them, the large spherical chamber with a diameter of about five meters that Cheng Yuan was teleported over at the beginning is the teleportation cabin, which is mainly responsible for short-distance teleportation through the quantum tunneling effect, simply put, teleportation, or spatial movement.

Although it is a short distance, the short distance that Ina said is converted into a familiar unit of the earth's long range, which refers to within one million kilometers, but due to the damage to the spacecraft's power system, especially the serious shortage of energy in the power system, it can only transmit within 20,000 kilometers at present, which can almost cover half the world.

That is to say, as long as you have the permission bracelet, then any place within a radius of 20,000 kilometers can be teleported back to the spaceship's teleportation capsule in an instant, which greatly increases the life-saving base, of course, there are accidents like Aster's, but the probability is too low, it can only be said that the previous captain is too unlucky and too arrogant.

Ina is a special spaceship, and the biggest special thing is because she is alive! This life is not an intelligent machine in the general sense, but a real life.

In fact, Cheng Yuan has always been very interested in the simplicity of the interior of this spaceship, after all, in his opinion, a spaceship must always be full of buttons and platforms, and there are all kinds of robots everywhere, but this Ina subverted his concept.

For example, this command room, when you came in, it was empty, it looked empty, it seemed to be a room with nothing, and only after the order was given, various devices would suddenly appear, and you can change all kinds of holographic scenes you want at any time.

There is also the white ball flying machine that Cheng Yuan is riding, which can be submerged into the floor like a drop of water at any time, blending into the floor, turning from a flying machine to a command platform, and can also emerge from the floor or the wall and ceiling at any time, just like the liquid robot in the impression.

According to Ina's explanation, this is because all the materials of the spacecraft are actually nano-nano scale, nano-robot aggregates smaller than cells, as long as the main core program of the spaceship, that is, Ina's body, is not fatally traumatized, then everything in the entire spacecraft can be freely decomposed and combined according to the command at any time, so there is the act of dismantling the secondary compartment as a material and supplementing the main parts.

For example, the entire spaceship is actually invisible to Cheng Yuan's naked eye, and groups of small robots smaller than cells are stacking arhats or building blocks, and these small robots are like cells in the human body, which are the basic composition.

It's just that human cells are carbon-based life forms composed of water, proteins, and other substances, while the little robots, or cells, in Ina's body are made up of more special substances with metal and non-metal characteristics.

In addition, it is not possible for humans to control the behavior of all cells in the body, but Ina can control the behavior of every cell.

This is simply the level of transformation in Xianxia!

That's why the entire Ina spacecraft is not an artificial robot, not a carbon-based life, not a silicon-based life, an artificial life form based on a special, unknown material to the earth!

It is precisely because Ina is a living that she can possess some of the characteristics of a living being, such as an intelligent and flexible surname, and the ability to replenish it in time after being damaged. Of course, her eating is not eating vegetables, meat, eggs and milk, etc., people directly eat inorganic things such as metal stones, and then transform them into nanorobots that are smaller than ordinary cells in the body.

If I had to say, it was a bit close to Transformers.

In this regard, Cheng Yuan can only sigh, alien technology is alien technology, if you don't accept it, it is actually a living spaceship, which completely integrates complexity and simplicity perfectly, this is art.

The power system used on the Ina is a special mode of power crystal energy supply, which is very small in size and takes up little space, only the size of a football ball, but it can directly use or transform the ubiquitous dark energy and antimatter in the universe, so as to provide a steady and powerful energy source for the spacecraft.

The energy density of this power energy crystal is greater than that of nuclear fusion, but it is much more stable than nuclear fusion, it is one of the most high-quality power modes in astronautics, and it is also the only energy source that Ina can use, because the basic components of Ina's body, that is, the nano-level small robot, also have a metabolic process, in addition to eating normal substances, they also have to eat these dark energy dark matter that has been absorbed and converted, and what can provide these can only be that special power crystals.

To put it bluntly, this power crystal is not an organ such as a heart, but a special stomach that can swallow various forms of energy and transform it into the energy it needs.

But the problem is that because the space storm damaged this set of power cores, the damage rate of the power crystals reached more than 99 percent, and only less than one percent of the crystals could still be used.

Because this energy crystal is composed of many special elements that are not found on the earth, it cannot be obtained from the natural environment of the earth, and can only rely on Ina to restore it little by little, that is, to recreate the relevant elements.

Speaking of which, Cheng Yuan can understand, after all, the current human periodic table is said to have artificially synthesized element 119, which is 299 times the mass of hydrogen, if it is true, then this will open the eighth element cycle, which has the meaning of subversive.

That is to say, the elements currently known to mankind are only a drop in the ocean, and there are still too many unknown elements that have not been discovered, so it is normal for alien technology to come up with unknown elements to form energy crystals.

However, it is difficult to synthesize a variety of super elements unknown to human beings out of thin air, including dark matter and antimatter elements, even if it is an alien technology like Ina.

Therefore, less than one percent of the energy currently left on the Ina is used to synthesize many unknown elements, and more than ninety percent of the core computing power is also used on this.

In view of the dangerous, precise and irreversible surnames of synthesizing new elements, once the synthesis process begins, then you can't give up halfway, once you give up halfway, you can only start from scratch, and even if you're not careful, it will produce a super explosion, which can not only destroy the entire spaceship, but even the earth will be damaged if the explosion is large, and it is not unusual for the explosion yield to blow up a Gulf of Mexico, and then it will be the end of the world.

In other words, because of the need to repair the energy core crystal and repair the damaged parts of itself, the spacecraft is basically in a state of lying in a nest, let alone flying again, and even maintaining the basic energy supply in the body is the lowest level, and even short-distance space transmission can only provide a supply once a day.

It is also for this reason that the inside of the Ina is empty, only when needed, it temporarily calls on the maneuvering energy to activate the relevant equipment and systems, and the rest of the secondary aspects, such as the various related robots in the original spaceship, are all gone, just to save even a little bit of energy.

The most important thing is that this is the most vulnerable time for the Ina because she has no ability to resist now, and if she is bombed by nuclear bombs, she will be doomed.

Although it has basically lost power because of self-repair, this powerful so-called life-saving capsule spacecraft with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons is still incomparably powerful at the current level of the earth, even if the value of research is huge, if it is discovered, I am afraid it will be robbed by a swarm of countries and groups.

"Excuse me, when will you be able to repair the energy crystal and restore power during this repair process?"

"In Earth years, it will take at least more than 100 years for me to slowly accumulate energy on my own."

"A hundred years ......" Cheng Yuan blinked, thinking that he would not be able to say anything about it at that time, and for such a long time, if he was discovered, then the fate of his heir, or the commander, I am afraid it would be difficult to say, after all, it is impossible for him to stay in the spaceship all day long, and he has family and friends......

Forget it, don't think about it, you can just wait and see, adapt to the situation, and talk about it depending on the situation

All in all, he, Cheng Yuan, a hard-working coder who originally had no more than one on the earth, and no less than one more, finally had an existence against the sky in the opportunity to defy the sky.
