Chapter 125: Initiation
Returning to the space station, Duanmu Huai came to the terminal again and activated the space station's construction system.
[Core Module (Completed)] [Reactor (Ununlocked)] [Enhancement Room (Ununlocked)]
【Inquisition Library (Lv5)】【Strategic Command Room (Lv1)】
[Power System (Ununlocked)] [Defense Mod (Ununlocked)] [Weapon Mod (Ununlocked)]
[Extinction Order (Ununlocked)] [Void Air Battalion (Lv1)] [Void Dock (Lv1)]
Special Buildings (Ununlocked)
[Building Points Remaining: 7]
"I should say, it's just enough."
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh with emotion, four holy relics were sent in Manfred's castle before, plus the three that the emperor transferred to him, it should be enough.
So, let's get started.
First of all, raise the [Inquisition Library] to lv10!
[Inquisition Library level increased to lv10, gain 100% analysis speedup, and gain additional Super Intelligence +1]
[Super Wisdom (Complete research on currently analyzed items)]
"Activate Super Intelligence!"
[Super Energy Intelligence Activation-Antimatter Energy Core Analysis Completed]
[Obtain a new building unit, the Antimatter Reactor]
[Obtain a new building unit - Extradimensional Space Tunnel Engine]
"Good!"
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and nodded.
Next......... Unlock the reactor and the extradimensional space tunnel engine!
“…………………”
With Duanmu Huai's command, soon, the originally dim space station gradually became bright and dazzling, and at the same time, with a faint roar, the floor began to tremble slightly. The powerful power instantly connected the entire space station, making it brightly lit from the original dim light.
At the same time, in front of Duanmu Huai, a new system prompt appeared again.
[Space Station Engine Activated]
【Activate Form Transformation Mode】
【Convertible Form——— Glorious Queen-class battleship】
"Tut-tut, it's not a loss of ancient sage black technology, it's really awesome."
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Once the space station is powered and engined, the space station will increase its transformation form, similar to the base car in RTS games, where you can shrink up to become a normal vehicle, and then unfold it into a base when you get there. As for the form that can be transformed and deployed, it is directly proportional to the output of the power reactor. Generally speaking, the reactor that the player gets at the beginning is basically only enough to be used to deploy a reconnaissance ship, and it would be good to make a moon-class cruiser, but if you put it here, the ancient saint's antimatter reactor can actually support a Glorious Queen-class battleship...............
Ancient Sage Technology, terrifying.
The Queen of Glory is one of the most powerful ships a player can possess in the early and mid-game, with two mass projectors, twelve torpedo tubes, six large bombardment turrets, and light spears and macro guns, plus laser cannons and melee guns, and anti-aircraft turrets, to form a massive firepower center almost comparable to that of a mobile fortress.
Basically, all Imperial warships look similar.
First, you build a steel base.
Then, you build a Gothic-style church on the pedestal, ranging from tens to hundreds to thousands of meters high.
Next, you build a corridor in front of the church that is hundreds of meters to several kilometers long.
Then, attach heavy armor to both sides of the corridor, and then shoot various macro cannons, light spears, and turrets and other things to the top and bottom of it.
Finally, install a triangular bow in front for easy ramming, and add an engine behind the base and you're done.
The so-called adding an engine to the church is called a battleship, which is pure empire-style technology.
Not to mention anything else, the elegance and luxury of the Gothic style and the nobility and elegance that permeates the bones look really beautiful.
"Activate Transformation Forms."
Standing in front of the command platform, Duanmu Huai issued an order.
"It's all ......... ............... all."
Soon, the alarm sounded, echoing in the empty cabin——— everyone who was originally here had basically been sent back to the original world, so they were not worried about what would happen. Then, with the sound of sirens, the fortress in front of him gradually began to deform.
The huge corridor that had previously unfolded with the space station as the core, connecting the different areas, began to slowly rotate and close, as if a man had his arms straight in front of him. Immediately after, the heavy, massive Void Dock began to deform, folding into sturdy and strong armor that covered the outside of the hallway. Then, one window after another opened, and the huge cannon poked its head out of it, aiming at the void in front of it, waiting to let out a roar and tear everything that came into range to shreds.
Standing beside Duanmu Huai, looking at the magnificent scenery of the giant steel moving outside the window, both An and Kukulu showed expressions of surprise——— just standing here, watching those unimaginable behemoths slowly move, deform, and close. This in itself is a shocking feeling.
A moment later, the space station that was originally suspended in the universe turned into a giant battleship, and then Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and opened the command platform in front of him, and soon, a star map appeared in front of him, as well as lines that stretched densely in it like a spider's web.
Channel.
Seeing these lines, Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. This is what he needs, the best technology from the ancient saints, there is no one.
The so-called network tunnel is the passage built by the ancient saints to navigate through subspace, and you can think of it as something like a subway tunnel. The network tunnel can safely protect the warship located in it from the encroachment and threat of subspace, and isolate all threats.
In the era of the Human Empire, humans did not have the skill to build networks, and the method they used was even more rude, that is, to go directly into the subspace and then pass it over——— which was certainly not an easy thing to do. It's like sailing on a dark sea, and you don't have any compass or stars to use to tell your bearings.
Of course, during the period of the Human Empire, the great emperor built an existence called the "Star Torch", which was essentially like a lighthouse in the subspace, and the burning star torch illuminated the darkness of the subspace and guided the direction of those warships.
However, after the Black Hole Project, the Human Empire was completely finished, and the Star Torch naturally disappeared without a trace.
Of course, the network is not so easy to enter, and the way to open and close them is only known to the ancient saints, although the spirit clan can use some technology about the network to some extent, but the genuine network channel is still only available to the ancient saints.
Except for players.
As a veteran player, Duanmu Huai has learned how to open, activate the network and teleport in the game. The network blocked and controlled by the Spirit Clan was actually less than one ten-thousandth of the network built by the ancient saints. Just looking at this dense line is enough to explain the problem.
Duanmu Huai's fingers slid on the star map, and with his movements, the star map in front of him began to show different postures, he removed the broken and blocked network channels one by one, and then found the intact network road mark.
"What are you doing? Mr. Knight? ”
Ann curiously stared at the star map in front of her and asked.
"I'm looking for a path, a path to my next destination."
"The next target? Other worlds? ”
"Almost."
Duanmu Huai nodded, and An suddenly became excited.
"Shall I go with me, then? Can Grua go with us this time? ”
"This time, I'm the only one to go."
"Hey............... Why?! ”
Hearing this, An immediately pursed her lips and showed an unhappy expression, while Duanmu Huai glanced at her and shook her head.
"Because it's my trial, you know......... As a knight, I'm going through trials and then I'm going to get to the next stage........."
"I see........."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Ann nodded, and at the same time, she looked at Duanmu Huai suspiciously again.
"And Mr. Knight, how long are you going to go?"
"......... at the moment"
Duanmu Huai slid the star map, connecting the channel of the network again.
"It's going to be a couple of months at least."
At the same time, a blue glow emanated from the star map, indicating that the network was connected. Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the girls.
"Alright, you guys go back first, and when my trial is over, I'll go see you."
"Well, that'......... Mr. Knight, be careful. ”
"Have a nice journey, Knight."
An and Kukulu said goodbye to Duanmu Huai, and then turned around and returned to their own world through the portal. Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ogis.
"Ogis, I'm going to trouble you to take care of my ship, okay?"
"Yes, master."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, Okis nodded slightly.
"Let's go, then."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai pressed the button.
The next moment, I saw that the universe in front of the battleship suddenly began to collapse, and then, a rotating, expanding, wormhole-like cave gradually emerged, and at the same time, the battleship's engine roared, spewing out dazzling flame brilliance, and just like that, it sailed into the wormhole in front of you.
Almost just for a moment.
The next moment, the scenery in front of Duanmu Huai's eyes changed, chaotic, and the channel with colorful light covered his vision, but this process only lasted less than ten seconds, and the dark universe appeared in front of him again——— as well as a bright red planet.
"Gusheng Technology, it's really awesome."
Looking at the star map beacon in front of him, Duanmu Huai silently nodded like. Ordinary subspace travel is not so smooth, and it stands to reason that when the player can transform, they will receive a series of coordinate routes from afar, and then the player will follow this route to the next destination, and from there start their own cosmic adventure.
But for Duanmu Huai, there is no need to be so troublesome, this is like a clearance player, since you know where the hidden weapon is, wouldn't it be good to go and get it directly at the beginning? Why go around in circles?
That's right, this is the "hidden weapon" ——— secret advanced mission that Duanmu Huai wants to get.
Now, it's finally just around the corner.
