Now, Nebula is still flying in the Milky Way, although it has been flying from Pluto for 3 days, passing through several wormholes, and leaving the solar system, but it is still in the Milky Way.

According to Ellie's predictions, it will take at least two more days to leave the galaxy.

Now, it's the third day of the flight.

The day before, Ling and the others held a welcome party for Filina, and at the same time, they heard Filina's secret at the welcome party, and also learned that the sea of stars was likely to be in the dark galaxy.

In order to enter the Dark Galaxy, a large number of Mikiffs particles must be used. Due to the opposition of the Tree of Liberty Corporation, it is difficult to buy Mikiffs particles. In order to solve this problem, they now go to the Orb system and ask Ling's brother for help.

At this time, Haruka is taking Filina to visit the Nebula.

The two of them were sitting in the central lounge.

Haruka: [It may seem a little strange to say it now, but you're welcome to join us.] So, now, let me introduce you to the structure of the Nebula. If you don't understand anything, don't hesitate to ask me. ]

Filina nodded vigorously, listening very attentively.

Haruka: [Nebula is simply divided into three parts, let's talk about the center first.] At the front end is the control room, where battles and ship control are mainly carried out. Coming out of the control room, it's our room. There are a total of 5 rooms, and when it was built, two more rooms were built in consideration of the possibility that someone might join in the future.

However, due to the size of the space, there is no washing room and toilet in each room, so you can only go to the public bathroom at the back, and remember to lock the door when taking a shower.

Behind the communal bathroom is here, lounge plus kitchen. Behind here, there's the engine part, which is usually me or Ellie who goes into the repairs. ]

Filina: [That's amazing!] Sister Haruka, you will repair the spaceship! ]

[Don't call me that, we're all about the same age in age, just call me Haruka.] Of course, ship repairs do, because Nebula was mostly built by me and Ellie. ]

[Eh!] Isn't that hard? Such a big spaceship! ]

[It was really hard at first, because we didn't know anything, we didn't have a foundation, and in the initial construction, it was basically built by the three of us. But for the sake of convenience, I did a good job of AI first, that is, Ellie. After Ellie was able to assist me, the two of them began to work to earn money, buy weapons, materials, etc., and then send them to me.

Let's not talk about that, let's move on to the Nebula. ]

Haruka stood up and motioned for Filina to follow her.

Haruka opened a hidden door on the left side of the lounge, which was the passage to the left side of the ship.

After passing through the passage, they came to the left hand side of the ship.

As soon as he stepped out of the passage and faced the first door, Haruka continued to introduce.

[This is the medical room, and there is a lot of medical equipment in it, which is usually used by Ellie and me.]

Ah, by the way, Filina, what blood type are you? ]

[I'm Type A.] ]

[That's good, it's the same blood type as Ling.] Because I think that I will get injured in battle, etc., I have prepared a lot of blood bags, and if you don't have your blood type, you have to buy them.

In front of the infirmary is the arsenal. ]

Haruka led Filina into the weapons warehouse, which was filled with various cards with weapons printed on them.

[Since I don't have the Star Rings, I can only assist them with these weapons.] If you are interested, you can also say that you can use it, and I will teach you. ]

[Yes!] Okay, I don't want to rely on everyone to protect me, I want to learn. ]

[Then come with me.] ]

Then I walked forward, and I came to the next room, and when I walked inside, I could see that there was nothing in this room, and it was empty.

[This is a hypothetical training room, activated by voice.]

In it, you just have to imagine the scenario in your head, and then Ellie will conjure up the opponent you want according to your requirements and strength. The weapons and scenarios are hypothetical, but they feel the same as in reality.

That's all for now.

As for the right side of the spaceship, there is the ship's arsenal, so I won't take you there yet, and I'll go in again next time I have a chance. ]

[I have a question!] ]

[Just ask.] ]

[What's the big ring over here?] ]

[Ahh I almost forgot. That's the device that absorbs the sun's energy, and we call it the solar ring. As long as there is this thing, it can absorb the energy emitted by the sun, and then convert it into the Nebula's internal fuel and energy to use. In this way, you can reduce a lot of costs.

At the same time, it is an important part of activating the cationic storm system. ]

[Cation storm system?] ]

[The Cation Storm System is the Nebula's most powerful weapon, concentrating all of its energy and placing it on the engine or the solar ring.] If you concentrate on the engine, the speed will be above the speed of light, and it is expected to reach the speed of light at the earliest. (Speed of light: about 300 million meters per second in a vacuum.) The speed of light is more than five times the speed of light. ）

If you concentrate on this solar ring, you can transform it into a weapon, and it is expected that the maximum power will be no problem to destroy several fleets at once. (A fleet is a six-bow battleship.) You'll see later when you get the chance. ]

[Wow, that's amazing!]

Also, what is Fanker's real name, actually? Because you all keep calling it that, I'm curious. (Little D, I also want to know.) ）

[…… On this point, I suggest that you better not ask, because he said that he fell out with his family, so he no longer used that name and made such a name himself. ]

[Huh?] Didn't you say that both of your parents died when you were young? ]

[Yes, but Fanker He also has a grandfather, when he was young, it was his grandfather who took care of him, and then fell out with his grandfather because of something and ran out on his own.] As for the rest of the matter, if you want to know, ask him yourself. It's hard for us to interject. ]

[I have one more question, no, a request.] ]

[？ ]

[Can you divide some work for me?] I don't want to be idle, and now that I'm one of you, I want to help you share some of the work. I used to have a school spaceship, so the controls were still okay. ]

[This... Let's ask Ling's opinion first. ]

Soon, the two of them were in the control room. In the control room, only Ling and Ellie, Fanker seemed to be resting in their own room.

Filina repeated what she had just said to Haruka to Ling, and Ling thought about it.

[Well, or you'll be in charge of the sonar part.] ]

Sonar, which is actually a human probe, emits special sound waves in the universe, and then detects what is in a certain location through the bounce of the sound waves. This is the most commonly used method in cosmic warfare. AI can do it, but it will increase the burden on AI, and generally speaking, this work is done by someone who is good at hearing.

Sonar will be more effective than radar in general. Because sonar is able to hear stealth ships, and the range is wider than radar.

Filina: [Okay, I'll try my best!] ]

Ling: [If you don't understand anything, just ask Ellie or Haruka.] I'm going to sleep first, and the fanker will come over later. ]

Haruka: [Wait!] ]

Ling: [What's wrong?] ]

Haruka: [I found out yesterday that there's a ruin in the Aub system in front of here, and I'd like to take a little detour to see if there's anything that can be recycled.] ]

Ling: [Let's do it.] ]

So, then, they headed for the ruins.

What awaits them in front of them?

We'll see.
