Dana's prosthetic body made a defensive gesture the moment Narrator pulled out his gun, and the red laser indicators on the defensive cannons in the bridge were all aimed at Narrator.

"Please calm down, second mate, your current behavior can be considered a mutiny, and at the same time, you will not be able to defeat me." Dana's unchanging tone showed her calmness, but the narrator slowly untied her uniform with her left hand, revealing a piece of LBCG glue solidified around her waist, and there were several glowing objects inside the translucent glue.

"It's not the first time I've defected anyway. This is the energy core removed from the power armor, if this thing explodes, I believe this bridge should be able to melt easily, I made a little preparation before entering the raid chamber, so please explain it, Captain, why you look like the legendary space undead. ”

"Calm down, second officer, the captain can't communicate with you due to physical reasons, please listen to me in detail about what happened to this ship." Dana took the initiative to disarm the alarm and retract the steel needle sticking out of her back, and helped the holographic glasses on her prosthetic leg, and continued.

"This ship was originally carrying out the task of the book reporter, this ship belongs to the Imperial Library, not the battle sequence, the main task is to tour with the various star regions, recover and record the history and technology between the star regions, so this ship has been cruising for a long time, this time passing by the Amo Star Zone, was asked by the Imperial Inquisition to receive a pure white, to go to the Holy Terra for loyalty transformation, the meaning of the pure white for the empire must be understood, pure white can not use psionic energy, nor will it be affected by any psionic energy. As such, the Pure White is a very important resource for the Empire, and the ship agreed to this request as it needed to return to Terra for resupply. ”

Dana made a gesture to sit down, and a sofa and coffee table similar to a living room slowly rose on the floor of the bridge, and the narrator sat on the sofa, and the muzzle of the gun was set on the coffee table and pointed at the captain.

"If you want to drink something, this ship still has wine from the Holy Earth in stock, if you need it, please choose your own."

After speaking, a suspended personal server transported the wine cabinet over, and the narrator took the fierce bull he was accustomed to drinking, and looked up to signal Dana to continue.

"Well, this is a hologram of our captain."

Dana showed a handsome old man dressed exactly the same as the current skeleton on the coffee table, with a protruding prosthetic eye on the face of the Chinese character with a hard silhouette that was particularly conspicuous.

"As you can see, the captain was a normal human before this mission, and on the way back from this mission, we were attacked by a warship infected by subspace, and this attack was very special. It should be for you, before entering the subspace passage, we suffered saturation shelling, and luckily entered the subspace, but because of the sudden failure of the psionic shield, all of our crew bodies have evaporated in the subspace, please allow me to use the word evaporation, here is a surveillance video of the ship's command post. ”

Dana projected this video on the big screen of the battleship, the busy bridge was very normal, the huge battleship status indicator showed a number of badly damaged red, but at this time the battleship was still intact, and it was not broken into three sections like now, the noisy voice revealed order, and everyone performed their duties under the command of the old captain.

Because as long as you enter the subspace, the huge battleship that basically jumps forward is absolutely safe, like a tunnel, just enough to accommodate a tank to barely pass through, except for chasing from behind, you can't attack from the side.

However, the countless forks in the tunnel, like the labyrinth, also lead to the fact that the enemy cannot pursue you in the subspace without knowing that you are jumping out, and at the same time, the instability of the subspace will cause unpredictable situations even if an energy projectile falls into the tunnel wall.

There used to be a caravan in the empire, when escaping from the pursuit of pirates, the pirates continued to fire in the passage, causing the passage to collapse, and the merchant ships escaped safely, but then the pirate ship that came out has been distorted by subspace energy indescribable, according to records, the pirate ship is covered with thick carrion-like unknown creatures.

The original cannon was all turned into a huge crucible glistening with thick water. The bridge was riddled with wriggling tentacles, and according to the Marines who jumped up, the ship had been infected by demonic creatures in the subspace, and the logbooks collected indicated that he had been lost in the subspace for countless centuries, but eventually jumped out of the same exit.

The people on the merchant ship may only feel it for a moment, but the people on the pirate ship are really after countless centuries, unknown subspace bacteria have invaded the pirate ship's crew, and they have all become half-immortal and disgusting creatures, their bodies are swollen and rotten, even if their intestines are out of the body for a few meters, they are still alive.

Unless the whole thing is burned to ashes, even a single stump will continue to attack, and countless similar unidentified creatures will shout for the blessing of their father, and rush to the Marine Corps battle line. This xenomorph with human DNA has evolved from viviparity to the entire ship as a whole, with countless crew cabins covered with biological cocoons, and countless xenomorphs are born every second.

Just when this subspace pirate ship almost destroyed a planet, the arrival of the Space Marines stabilized the entire battle line, and the Star Marines who jumped up took control of the only remaining mechanical engine, and the pirate ship was sent into the star sector by the Star Marine's tractor, and the whole thing evaporated.

In the video, when the crew was busy, the psionic navigator on the battleship suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then melted into a puddle of clear water, and the battleship that lost its psionic protection instantly sounded the alarm.

"What's going on! Show me the outboard monitor! ”

The captain made a judgment in an instant, and the monitor of the highest point of the battleship was projected into the huge holographic screen, and countless gorgeous colors formed a spiral-shaped passage, but a purple ripple visible to the naked eye was chasing along the passage wall little by little, devouring the battleship.

The substitute psyker was less than five seconds old, and the same scream melted into water, and when the final ripple finally chased to the bridge position, an alarm was issued in the compartment that the battleship was about to be pulled out of the subspace passage, and the ripple was like a purple transparent wall, slowly passing through the various compartments of the battleship, and the crew began to melt gradually from the position they touched.

One of the fallen crew members rolled over and looked at their melted legs and let out a miserable scream, and finally, when it was the captain's turn, the captain was also like the rest of the crew, melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a group of crew members screamed and all began to move away from the light curtain.

But the battleship will always come to an end. The escape pod must not be launched in subspace, and the huge gravity will instantly crush the escape pod into a small dot. At the last minute, the captain gave the final instructions.

"Dana, final order! We're done, and you're the last hope. Please make me into a book page and bring me back to the library. If you survive, then it's up to you to identify the next captain. Hurry up and get started. ”

“aye！ captain！ May the glory of humanity be with you, and the time spent with you will always be stored in my storage. ”

A mechanical arm stretched out from behind Dana's prosthetic body and stabbed into the captain's skull, and with a sound similar to a hacksaw sawing through a tree, the brain and spinal cord were withdrawn, and then Dana quickly put the brain with the spine into a static box that could isolate the energy of the subspace.

The liquid in this box is rich in a large number of nano-brain worms, devouring the captain's brain at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the engulfed part gradually forms a new brain-like part. It's just that it shimmers with metallic light.

"The above is the entire accident process recorded by this ship, and you are an accident. Due to the unknown subspace ability, all biological organisms on this ship that possess human DNA have been broken down into basic proteins. The ship's stored knowledge could not give the right answer, and the ship was forcibly dragged out of the passage by the subspace energy, and the ship disintegrated because it could not withstand the force. ”

Dana pointed to the captain who looked like a space skeleton and continued:

"Due to the damage of the solar furnace, the ship began to calculate after the separation channel. The ship went into hibernation at 12396 Imperial hours due to the need for basic repairs (Note 1) due to the last reserve power, and began to repair itself. At the same time, 432,000 standard empire hours later restore basic functions.

The captain only replaced three-fifths of his brain due to the lack of nano-brain worms, and now you have enough brain worms to make the captain into a book page and serve the empire forever. Then please stand. ”

Dana, after finishing speaking, injected the nano-brain worm brought by the narrator-kun into the container that kept the captain's brain. The captain's mechanical prosthetic limb automatically walked to the captain's seat, and then sat down in the captain's seat. A huge box slowly rose in front of the captain's seat, and as the hatch of the box opened, the cold air spread a thick layer of fog on the bridge, as if to see the captain off.

Dana took off the container that was originally in the captain's position and put it into the box carefully, after the box contained the brain, countless data cables automatically extended from the box and connected to the metallic brain, and then closed the hatch, and slowly sank into the floor again.

All the while, Dana's prosthetic body simply bent over a 90-degree bow toward the box. It wasn't until the floor was completely closed that he straightened up, and the narrator seemed to see tears in the eyes of the prosthetic, but he didn't know if the prosthetic would cry or not.

During the page ceremony, Narrator couldn't help but put his left hand on his heart and his right hand in front of his eyebrows, performing an imperial military salute that had not been performed since he fought against the Empire. Silently watched the ritual unfold.

After doing all this, Dana stood next to the narrator again, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Then the pure white, I don't think there is a more suitable person for the other task that the captain has assigned me. ”

Dana picked up the captain's hat that was placed on the captain's seat and placed it on the narrator's head.

"The first intelligent brain of this ship, appointed by the previous captain, officially designated the citizen of the Empire, the second officer of the navy, and the narrator Jun as the 10082nd captain."

Dana used her prosthetic body to make an extremely standard imperial military salute, and the narrator replied casually in a daze. reacted and said:

"Wait! What did you say? I'm going to be the captain? ”

“aye! captain！ At present, there is one remaining crew member and a second officer on the ship, so according to the laws of the Imperial ships, you have the right to replace the previous captain, then the ship has the right to choose the next captain independently under the appointment of the previous captain. ”

"Hey! Wait a minute, I haven't answered me if I want to be the captain of this ship, and besides, you're like this, I'm the captain, the commander of the special light pole. ”

While the narrator was surprised by the sudden arrival of the position, he also saw the facts clearly. A battleship AI that has just woken up, and a battleship that doesn't have any crew and is broken into three sections at the same time. What's more, in this situation, it is still a question whether he can continue to survive.

It has been almost fifty years since he arrived on this planet, and although most of the people of the empire can easily live past 300 years old after biochemical transformation, most of the time he spends in a cryocompartment, and the biological age of Narrator Jun is still in his thirties. And also nothing is known about this battleship. After stabilizing his mood, Narrator felt the need to understand the current situation.

"Can you report back on our situation now?"

"At present, 29.7% of the ship's hull remains in the core parts, and only the fully automated departments that can carry out the work are left. According to calculations, if there is no external force, and at the same time the repair time of other hulls can be recovered is 36,000 years in the standard imperial year.

It is impossible to predict the positive and negative effects of external forces on the ship, so it is recommended to immediately enter the planet 400,000 kilometers away from the ship and contact the local government officials to obtain resources and help. However, the ship has used all means of communication, and there is no response from the terrestrial planets 400,000 kilometers away. Therefore, it is judged to be a medieval star sector. ”

Narrator feels as if he is destined to spend his whole life on this remnant ship, and there is an intelligent AI accompanying him, but the strong desire to survive makes Narrator feel that he can't sit still like this. So he continued to ask.

"And what is the Library Ship?"

Dana was uncharacteristically devoid of her original bionic emotion, and replied in a purely mechanical synthesized voice: "Imperial Confidential Document, Document No. DTSG-00021 needs to be declassified, please authorize it." ”

"How do I authorize?" Narrator's face is confused, authorized? I've only been a captain for a few minutes.

"The voiceprint comparison was successful. The document is unlocked. Please note that the following content is extremely confidential, please make sure that there is no one around and browse it alone. ”

Dana then projected the contents of Document DTSG-00021, presumably a Great Library-class battleship and a group of historians and scientific collectors set up by the Emperor himself. The Emperor himself served as the curator.

The main mission is to collect all the latest technology in the empire and record the history of the local planet, and although the warships are generally very sophisticated, they will hardly participate in any battles. Each battleship will be equipped with at least 2 Star Marines of the Dalian team. At the same time, the captain has a higher status than the leader of the Star Marine warband.

This "Dana" belongs to the twelfth ship of the administrator class, and there is only one ship of the librarian class. Because it belongs to the secret unit of the Empire, almost no one knows about it. The entire library operates outside of the political system, and is a self-made group like the Cosmopolitan monasteries. Supplied by the various forged planets.

Should the empire be destroyed for some reason, these warships will become the core of the salvation of the empire, and their technology and knowledge will far exceed all the existing power of the empire. At the same time, it will become the last ark of mankind when destruction cannot be avoided.

The biochemical AI of each battleship is a living human being, dedicating its entire life to the empire, and while remaining awake, the brain is removed, and the core system of the battleship is transplanted after mechanization is called the catalog. At the same time, the brain of each captain becomes a "hard disk" for information savings, which is called a page. This battleship already has more than a thousand pages, that is, it has gone through a thousand captains. Narrator Jun is the 1082nd.

"! This means that I will have my brain removed while I am alive, just like in the video! ”

Narrator-kun blurted out in horror when he saw that he had the responsibility to be a part of the page, as if he saw Dana's back suddenly stretch out a mechanical arm to cut herself in half while precisely not hurting her brain.

"Watch your words, Captain, under normal circumstances, this ship will be removed by a milder operation at the end of your normal life, Captain. The previous captain will only take emergency measures in wartime and at the same time when he is in a situation where he cannot be saved. ”

"Okay, okay! So what should we do next, it's useless to just hide here! "Take off the captain's hat. Narrator, who scratched his head and thought desperately, finally chose Dana, who was smarter than him.
