Chapter 45: Review and Transcendence

(Xiao Yi: The play you want to see is in the next chapter.) )

USS Byron, experimental chamber, elven laboratory. Rey sat in a hovering chair in a corner of the lab, wearing a grotesque-looking metal head salt on his head. A white data cable is attached to the right side of the helmet, and the other end of the data cable is connected to Rey's electronic board. Five minutes later, Rey unplugged the end of the cable from the electronic board and removed his helmet. He stretched out his right hand and pushed the bulkhead beside him: a compartment opened, and two identical metal helmets were placed inside. Rey coiled the cable, then put the helmet back in the compartment. As the door closed automatically, Rey grabbed the electronic board and stood up. He walked lightly out of the elven lab, where everyone gathered around a metal table, chattering about something - someone patted the table from time to time.

Rey glanced at the clock embedded in the bulkhead of the elven lab before heading out: 5:06 p.m. Looks like we're going to run back. He thought so, and unconsciously quickened his pace. Suddenly, his electronic board rang: "Warning, warning, Gamesh, the head of the Byron energy bay, is piling up beans in the rest room of Erwenda, the head of the Byron energy module, is it closely watched?" Warning, warning, Gamesh, the head of the Byron's energy tank, is piling up beans in the rest room of Erwenda, the head of the Byron's energy module, is it closely watched? "Keep a close watch." Rey rolled his eyes at the air very uncharacteristically, and said in a straight voice. He was tired and didn't want to get too much of a tandem with the crew's anomaly monitoring system. Every day, a jumble of warnings is sent to his electronic board, which annoys him.

Rey wasn't to blame for that, as there were just too many warnings, two on average. Fortunately, when he sets the electronic board to sleep and power saving mode, the system will only send a silent message warning, otherwise he will not want to sleep well. But the former Supreme Commander of the Byron fleet of the ancient Helka Star did not have this problem, because the crew of the ancient Helka Star usually did not do things that the system felt should not be: running in the corridor of the ship at twice the speed exceeding the maximum limit, making loud noises in public places with a sound of more than sixty decibels, bathing in the bathroom for more than twenty minutes, and suddenly showing a very abnormal routine compared to the usual one day, causing all kinds of unnecessary waste...... Truth be told, if that system had a self-conscious will, it would have asked Rey to kick out about four-fifths of the crew of the Byron and exile them into the universe - even to be spared the trial - as the ancient Helka proverb was, "to be thrown into an illegal third-rate human laboratory and reconstructed".

7:32 p.m., Captain's Quarters Byron. "Everyone cheer up, there are less than thirty minutes to rest!" Rey sat down in the floating chair, clapped his hands, and shouted. Some of the crew members who were not very focused were shocked when they heard Rey's shout, and their attention was refocused on their work. At the same time, Bu Caike stood up on the Ziyang and said with an expressionless face: "There are still twenty-eight minutes before the rest time, please continue to work hard and not relax." Our goal? "More than the Byron!" All the crew members in the captain's room of the Ziyang, except for Blake himself, shouted loudly. They've done just that since Blake last had a video call with Rey: every day when it's time to break, Blake would stand up and lead the crew of his captain's room in shouting slogans like Rey.

Black has already gotten the stats from Erwenda: the average progress of the Byron's crew's language learning is the fastest in the fleet, almost double that of the second-ranked Asterisk; At the same time, the Byron has more than twice as much technology learning as the second-ranked Energy; The experimental takeover lasted nearly three times as long as the second-ranked Eternity. When he saw this data, Blake's mind immediately sounded the words that Rey had told him before, "We are the command ship". Ironically, he thought Rey was deliberately making himself look busy. Fortunately, the crew on the Ziyang are very motivated. After Blake made it clear to them what he wanted, they chose to support them unconditionally.

Seven o'clock in the evening. Captain's Room of the Byron. After some of the shift changers who had to work all day came in, the captain's room gradually became a little more noisy. "Rey, are you going to stay today?" The Byron's internal correspondent, Cadmaster, asked as he passed Rey's location as he went out. "Just stay for a while and finish some unfinished things." Rey gestured to the floating screen in front of him: several lab personnel busily busting around a machine he hadn't seen before. Cadmaster knew that the moment Rey was talking about would be at least an hour. He said, "It's time to direct the experiment again, huh? I doubt you'd bury yourself in a lab if you weren't a captain! "It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Rey asked, pulling a Bluetooth headset out of his pants pocket.

"You'd better see how well our Byron experiments take over. You wouldn't think there were very few experiments left on the Byron, would you? Cadmaster asked, watching Rey put the Bluetooth headset on his left ear. It won't be the most, right? Rey asked, pressing a button on the Bluetooth headset with his left hand. I think you know this better than I do. Cadmaster twitched the corners of his mouth, and he could hear that Rey was perfunctory. So, he said, "Don't beat around the bush, okay?" "I think I'll remember going to bed at night." Rey smiled and replied. Even though Rey didn't say anything else, Cadmaster knew he should go now. "Good luck." He said, and stepped along. "Thank you, I hope it is as you say." Rey waved his right hand and replied to Cadmaster behind him.

"I hope so." Blake replied. He and the Purple Sun's internal communicator, Lorraine, were walking in the spaceship corridor, and Lorraine was deliberately half a step behind. "You can't rush it." The Lorraine reassured, "Everyone needs time. "Say, is Rey conducting experiments in the captain's quarters right now?" Blake asked suddenly. "Well, when you get back to the break room, you can brush up on the ancient Helka Star you learned today." The Lorraine thought for a moment, then said. Then, he glanced at Blake's face, and suddenly felt that he had just said too directly. He didn't want his captain to mistakenly think that he was accusing himself of not learning the ancient Helka language well and not knowing much about the technology of the ancient Helka. Although, to a certain extent, this is a fact that cannot be concealed.

"It's okay, I know to face reality." Blake said with a blank face, "Don't comfort me. "You're just getting off to a slower start." Said. Again, he felt that his words were too much of a comfort, and added, "I'm just admitting a fact." "yes, I know." Blake frowned slightly and replied. "You can take your time." The Lorraine said. "I know. Blake replied, frowning slightly. ......” The Lorraine did not speak. One is that he can't figure out what he wants to say, and the other is that he feels that he is not very good at talking right now. "Sooner or later, we'll catch up with the Byron. Sooner or later. Blake said slowly. I believe. The Lorraine replied, looking straight ahead without blinking. Blake believes in them, and they believe in Blake.

Nine o'clock in the evening. USS Byron, Rest Cabin, Lounge Room 001. Rey had already washed up a minute earlier. At this time, he was sitting at the metal table, carefully watching the picture playing on the electronic board. Those images were extracted from his memories by a special machine, and he took time out to go to the elven lab this afternoon. It's just that the machine is still a semi-finished product, and it still needs to be improved in many aspects, and it can't be promoted. Rey used it not only for his own sake, but also to provide some experimental data for the machine. What he wants to extract is his memories of the battle with your uncle last night.

Originally, according to his strength, he could have reviewed the battle on his own. But he felt that the memory would be blurred with the passage of time, and that the gains of that battle were not something that could be digested in a day or two—after all, he didn't have that much time for him to sit there for three hours, three or four hours, and look back at the battle with his eyes closed and motionless—they fought for at least two hours. So, the best thing to do is to record it - that's what the ancient Helka people thought back then, and that's why they invented such machines. Moreover, if you look at your memories from a different perspective, you may be able to discover something that you have neglected before.
