Chapter 22: The Hunter Upgrades
The Hunter began to move in the direction of blue Mars, and as the speed of the starship became faster and faster, the scene outside the holographic window began to slowly change, and not long after the blue and red light turned into long bands of light, it was finally pitch black outside the holographic window.
Today's starships have three engine systems, one conventional engine, one faster-than-light engine, and one jump engine. For some special models, there will even be a spare set for each engine.
When the Hunter was still Helan, it underwent a comprehensive upgrade a year ago, and the upgrade work was personally directed by Dr. Helan himself, and it is said that even the design drawings were made by her.
At first, Kungo only thought that the Hunter had replaced three engines with six, but now it seems that it is far from that simple.
There is also a chip inside the iron box, which is used to unlock all the functions of the Hunter, but before that, it is necessary to return to the Star Mars Harbor of Blue Mars, where there is a private harbor of Dr. Helan, and the things that can be used to upgrade the Hunter are inside.
The Hunter entered a state of faster-than-light sailing, and both Kun Wu and He You were silent, and after a long time, Kun Wu spoke: "What are you going to do in the future?" ”
He You was silent for a moment: "What about you?" ”
"The Doctor said that he wanted me to be a great hunter. I'm sure to be a great hunter and explore the secrets that the Doctors didn't discover. Find out the truth about the destruction of the Golden Empire! ”
He paused, his eyes burning like a flame: "Of course, before that, I have to find some people to settle accounts!" ”
He You looked at Kun Wu, and there was silence for a while: "You, don't you hate your mother?" ”
Kun Wu turned his head to look at He You and smiled: "Why does the son hate his mother? I don't know if I have the right to be the son of a doctor, but when she patted me on the head for the first time three years ago, I thought of her as my mother! ”
He You's face, which had always been cold, finally appeared with a heartfelt smile: "Then we are brothers!" ”
The expression on Kunwu's face became smug like turning a book: "So, call brother!" ”
Before He You could say anything, Amber, who had been in the three stateless states all along, spoke: "Brother! ”
The expression on He You's face tensed suddenly, and he couldn't hold back for a few seconds, and burst out laughing.
Kungo laughed too, and the two of them fell to the floor of the bridge laughing as if they were out of control.
In this way, the two remembered Dr. Helan for the last time, and at the same time identified each other as brothers.
Three hours later, the starship came to Blue Mars again, this time at the port of Mars.
"You go and upgrade the Hunter, and I'll contact my superiors!" He Youdao.
"Don't need me with you?"
"No, if the people of the Gang know the Source of Eternity, you will have to wait to be sliced." He You shook his head, and after the starship entered the port, he left.
Kungo looked at the port, this is the private port that Dr. Helan has chartered, it is full of autonomous robots working, and all the surveillance systems are physically closed.
Kungo split the chip in two according to the instructions, half plugged into the socket of the main engine of the Hunter, and the other half into the socket of the main engine of the port.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the port host sounded.
"The fusion procedure has been activated, please leave the starship!"
Then, as Kungo watched, he saw a large amount of what looked like liquid metal flowing out of the engineering vents of the various ports, and under some degree of control, flowed towards the Hunter.
The Hunter's hull also underwent the same fluidization reaction, quickly fusing with the liquid metal, and the starship began to slowly grow larger, changing its appearance at the same time.
Something that looked like a weapon system appeared, shrank, and then hid below deck.
Kun Wu ran to the port host system interface to take a look, and was stunned again.
"Atomic-level matter programming? The Doctor has already conquered this technology? Didn't she say that she didn't conquer it? Kun Wu looked at the large amount of data refreshed on the port host, and gasped after a long time, "I will really be hunted down by the entire federation this time!" ”
When He You contacted his superiors and came back from purchasing a large number of essential items, he saw a completely different Hunter.
First of all, the Hunter has become larger, expanding from more than 200 meters to 398 meters. From the shape of a large olive, it has become a square hexagonal column shape.
In addition, in the middle of the starship, there is also a layer of multiplier shield generators that can only be equipped by armed ships.
In addition, most of the extra 100 meters of the entire starship are used in the bow position, where there is a main gun that looks like a huge power is being put to the end of assembly, and the self-"growing" part has just been completed, and the autonomous machines are doing the final processing work.
The Hunter started out as a research ship, and now, it's a warship.
This is definitely designed by the standards of a battleship.
He You found Kun Wu, who was about to turn into a stone sculpture, at the main engine of the port: "What's going on?" ”
Kun Wu squinted at He You with a strange expression: "You ask me?" ”
Apparently asking him didn't do anything.
Kun Wu sent the data compiled from the host to He You.
With a total length of 398 meters and a maximum width of 176 meters, it has four interior space expansion areas, two of which are used for Gnaku and two for specially arranged sections.
Although it is the size of a small starship, because of the use of supertechnology, the Hunter's combat stats have reached the level of a medium-sized starship.
In particular, the "atomic-level matter programming" technology makes the Hunter's performance comparable to that of a large starship in some extreme conditions.
He You looked at the data and thought of another thing: "It seems that my mother had already anticipated what was going to happen, so she had already started preparing for it!" What's behind her? ”
He You did not use the word "force", but used "thing", because in the doctor's rumors, the word "thing" is used.
Kun Wu smiled bitterly: "No matter what, if this thing is exposed, I will definitely be hunted down by the whole Federation!" ”
He Youbai glanced at him: "Do you have less things on you that will make the whole Federation hunt down?" ”
Kungo could only smile back.
"I've already contacted my superiors, let's go back to our home in Blue Mars first, and then wait for news!" He You changed the subject.
Kungo looked at the rejuvenated Hunter: "Is there really no problem with this stopping here?" ”
"Switch to self-discipline mode and there will be no problem. When no one knows, who will run into a private port and make trouble? He You was not worried. As long as the host data is cleared, who can know that the Hunter uses hypertechnology technology? ”
