With the exception of the Energia, which was used exclusively for transportation, the ships of the Byron fleet did not have a special cabin for meals. The crew's three meals are basically transported to the major cabins through special pipelines, and although they are all instant food, their nutrients are preserved to 90 percent. However, how could the crew of the Byron, who inherited the picky character of the ancient Helka people, "wronged" themselves to eat fast food after they had fresh ingredients? Even though those quick foods are enough for them to eat for about a year. Anyway, those fully automated machines are in the warehouse, and you don't have to design and manufacture them yourself. Building a house, arranging things, adding materials, and turning on the switch, it simply doesn't get any simpler than this.

Rey smiled, turned around, and walked to the dark compartment on the wall near the hatch to take out a white, flat square box. He carried the box into the elevator directly facing the large window—from the top floor to the bottom, and no one ruled that the crew could not open their lunch boxes in the elevator anyway. The cafeteria was full every day, so Rey thought it would be nice to stay on the Byron and eat quick food.

USS Byron, Experimental Module, Third Laboratory. This is the largest laboratory in the Byron and the only one in the laboratory chamber that can communicate directly with the outside world. It was nineteen o'clock in the evening, and most of the crew had returned for dinner, and they were preparing something quickly and conditionally. There are no special rules, they automatically stagger the meal times to the cafeteria. After five minutes, everyone was ready.

Whether they were once researchers in the invention room of the Cell, or the builders of the three major cities of Helka, here, they all have a common title - experimenters. The experimenter was once at the forefront of the development of ancient Helkastar technology, but Dr. August, who caused the explosion of Helkastar, is one of the descendants of the former experimenter—the weapons of mass destruction he researched were contrary to the development concept of the second-generation Helkas.

"Open the 'Sky Dome'." A familiar voice rang out on a platform high above - it was Rey. He was now wearing a white long-sleeved protective jacket that reached just above the knee and a pair of dark blue-framed experimental goggles, just like everyone else. The Sky Dome is another name for the movable protective door of the Byron laboratory - it is perfectly circular when closed, and there are eight sub-doors radiating from the center to the periphery; The radius is fifty meters, and the thickness is one meter and fifty centimeters. "Star Core Knife, third test, start." At this point, Rey put on an improvised communicator - his communicator connected to the communicators of the five experimenter team leaders.

"Track the target." The target has been confirmed, and a clean female voice can be heard over the communicator, "The target has been locked on, and it will pass over the Byron in ten minutes." "Star Core Knife warm-up." I only heard Rey say this. "The Star Core Knife is activated, and the energy is injected, ten percent!" Rey heard the voice of a neutral male voice over the communicator. Under the open sky dome, a dark silver laser cannon with a caliber of four meters was fixed. At this time, the muzzle of the laser cannon slowly lifted, and the exposed outer pipe on the base began to flash a faint blue light. "Proofread the elevation angle." Rey stared closely at the connection between the main gun and the pedestal, took a breath, and said.

"Start calibrating the elevation angle......" a male and female voice sounded over the communicator. Start fine-tuning...... "" Fine-tuning is complete, calibration is complete. Two minutes later, only the voice said, "Start fixing the gun mount." I saw a metal tube sticking out of the bottom of the main gun, which suddenly stretched out after turning it down a little, and combined with the base with a "click". "The gun carriage has been fixed, and the stability is up to standard." The voice sounded with a little pride, and the owner of the voice seemed to be proud that he could complete the task in a short time.

"Check the energy flow rate." Rey pressed the improvised communicator on his right ear with his right hand, paused, and continued, "Confirm the basic condition of the main gun. "After the inspection, the energy flow of the main pipelines from No. 1 to No. 4 is normal, the pipeline gate is not abnormal, the pipeline is not blocked, and the energy supply is sufficient." "Confirmed, the main gun is performing well, all parts are operating normally, and they can be fired normally!" A calm male voice and a neutral female voice sounded one minute later and two minutes later, respectively. Rey's heart tightened. It's time for the moment! Rey said to himself in his heart.

"Star Core Knife, inject thirty percent of the energy." He stared at the laser cannon and calmly gave the order. He knew that everyone was as excited as he was, and he knew that they would all be as calm as he was. "Yes!" Rey replied in a neutral voice. The light emitted by the energy pipes became brighter and brighter, and the number of flashes began to decrease. "All parts of the main cannon are functioning normally, and energy can continue to be injected!" After hearing this, Rey ordered again, "Star Core Knife, inject seventy percent of the energy." "The blue light emitted from the energy pipeline is getting brighter and brighter, and it has basically stopped flickering.

Meanwhile...... Byron, energy tank. "Wow! How can energy reserves fall so fast! Gamesh exclaimed as he looked at the rapidly decreasing numbers on the instrument screen and a rapidly descending energy bar—ten in all—a visual representation of the energy reserves of the Byron's energy bay, and bounced off the hovering chair. Attention Unit 7! Speed up energy replenishment! Ervinda shouted loudly, drowning out the sound of Gamesh's strange screams. At the same time, his fingers are tapping rapidly on the keyboard, making a nice rhythmic "da-da" sound. "Do they bathe with energy? Used so fast! Gamish propped his hand on the back of the hovering chair and complained dissatisfiedly, "Not at all! ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Ervinda didn't look at Gamesh, stared at the screen, and said lightly. This made Gamesh feel uncomfortable, so he immediately said, "I say, don't pretend to be noble, okay?" This is simply spending energy like flowing water! "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." Ervinda twitched the corners of his mouth, the movements of his hands still did not stop, and he said with a little disdain in his voice, "Let's not say that there is no random waste of energy here on our Byron, as a manager of the energy cabin, your understanding of the energy use of the Byron can be described as 'only one percent'." I don't know how you managed the energy pod when I was researching plants! ”

"Then tell me what's going on!" During this time, Gamesh was used to being reprimanded by Ervinda, so he simply broke the jar to satisfy his curiosity. "It's not like you've never seen this before." Ervinda sighed and said. He tilted his head slightly, his fingers still not stopping, and motioned with his eyes for Ervinda to sit down again. "There's only one project on the Byron that can consume so much energy in a short period of time......" Erwendar paused, blinked, and then continued, "It must be a test experiment of the Star Core Knife!" "Oh, so it's Rey, that guy is fighting again!" Gamesh said in a long voice as he sat down.

"Ahem! Ahem, ahem! Cough! Ervinda paused, then coughed violently, ten fingers rubbing a row of meaningless characters on the keyboard. He choked on himself because of what Gamesh said. "Head of Gamesh, watch your words!" Ervinda breathed a sigh of relief and said with a distorted expression. "Is there something wrong?" Gamesh saw Ervinda's reaction so violently, and he didn't realize what he had said that made Ervinda feel uncomfortable. "Forget it, it's nothing." Ervinda replied with some reluctance. He looked back at the screen in front of him—the mistake had to be fixed immediately. "Cut." Gamesh pursed his lips and looked back at the screen - he couldn't leave his work behind. There was a burst of chuckles around them, but they were quickly forced down by the owner of the voice.
