(Chapter 3) Old Battleships

When the messy data is properly classified, the damage caused by overload is smoothed out in time.

The fire-level processor carried in Xuefeng's brain regained its vitality, and with the normal operation of the sensor, the biometric signal was quickly located to Gu Fan's figure.

I just saw that he was standing in front of the central control computer of the Queen of Glory, accompanied by a sea of data flashing on the screen, as if he was looking for something.

"Error 013, Overload Warning ......"

Hearing the voice, Gu Fan looked back at the girl sitting on the ground, she looked very weak and staggered to stand up.

"You'd better not move that arm, that wave of overload just now probably burned out a set of muscle coils in you."

At this moment, the joint of the girl's left arm had collapsed slightly, and it looked like it was dislocated.

However, such an injury alone can be called a blessing.

"In addition, during the time you restarted, I made some initial adjustments to the ship's systems."

As he spoke, Gu Fan refocused his attention on the central control screen, although it was very different from the old system used in the past training, but after a period of exploration, he already had a basic understanding of every string of commands and symbols transmitted by the program.

And the Queen of Glory is gradually getting used to the new captain's operating habits, and the dialogue between thinking and program is beginning to become more and more fluid as the characters are transmitted.

It didn't take long for him to turn around, put one hand on the shell of the central control computer, and patted it gently, as if to soothe a stuffed pet.

"The systems of this battleship are far more sophisticated than those fortresses, and I have turned off all non-essential systems except for the basic functions of fire control and hull engines, which may make it easier for you to manage this grumpy girl."

Looking at the flickering code on the screen, Xue Feng nodded calmly, and under the gaze of the other party, she lifted her hair and pulled out the nerve bundle stored in the back of her neck and connected it into the computer.

According to the information previously obtained from the central control, the body of this armored behemoth with an axle length of nearly 40 kilometers is also loaded with several fully formed ground corps, and all of them have been connected to the ship's command network.

- The Iron Man Guard, which has heavy weapons and is sealed in the placement warehouse, is a mechanical infantry unit with high intelligence, with about 3,000 units.

- An air formation of 27 Valkyrie gunboats and 11 engineering ships converted from transport ships.

- and four Warlord-class Titans armed with Volcano Cannons, a giant mech unit designed to provide heavy fire support.

......

......

As the minutes ticked by, the data displayed on the central display was being read at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

This time, the situation has really been greatly improved, and after Gu Fan's adjustment, Queen Glory's system has accepted the existence of Xuefeng very calmly.

After a while, I saw the girl slowly open her eyes, and according to the readings on the screen, she had successfully implanted her logic program into the battleship's system, and reached a cooperation with the weak AI that the Queen of Glory originally had.

Even the extremely small Titan Legion was incorporated into her system, and these were one of the main reasons for the overload.

It was only at this moment that the ancient battleship, which had been dormant for nearly a thousand years, officially woke up, and she was no longer just a steel puppet that could only carry out simple orders, but a war monster that truly had a soul.

But before Gu Fan could breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, a series of disappointing bad news was reported by Xuefeng one after another.

"Warning...... The damage rate of the ship's functional area has exceeded 43%"

"Shield Warning ......"

"Broken armor ......"

"The energy loss rate has exceeded 65%"

“......”

"The jump engine has failed, the damage report has been submitted to the engineering department, and there is no response ...... at this time"

I see, hearing this, Gu Fan finally understood why such a multi-functional battleship carrying the Titan Legion would be deliberately forgotten in this tomb by his predecessors.

Losing the ability to jump is almost equivalent to losing the ability to leave the galaxy, and the proud Iron Queen becomes a fat chicken that can't fly.

Just as Gu Fan was still pacing and thinking about what he should do next, a different report suddenly caught his attention.

"Received a communication signal from the Reaper's Zone."

Reaper? If I remember correctly, it was a dwarf planet at the edge of the solar system.

Since someone has taken the initiative to contact the newly restored Queen of Glory, could it be that this news is from other surviving humans?

At this moment, he could not hide the excitement in his heart.

"Get in touch!"

But moments, when the message was fed into the fleet's broadcast, it wasn't what he expected.

It was a striking sound of unknown significance, and it lasted only a few seconds, and the other party voluntarily interrupted communication with the Queen of Glory.

Gu Fan couldn't figure out what the mysterious person on the other end of the broadcast was trying to express to himself.

"Can you identify the specific source from which the message was sent?"

It didn't take long for him to get the reply he wanted.

"The source of the information was traced to the vicinity of the Reaper Star IV Starport."

I have to say, this is exciting news.

A place that may host other fellow humans.

For Gu Fan at this moment, he couldn't think of any better news.

"How? Will this lump of iron be able to hold up there? ”

"No, the energy reserves of the power furnace are not enough to support a regular voyage over such a distance."

Gu Fan was not surprised by Xue Feng's answer, he had already thought of a strategy to deal with it.

It's just that when he swept his gaze to the cold void in front of him, the boundless darkness that seemed to engulf everything was a little hesitant......

Is there really anyone there waiting for you?

He didn't know what this universe had become after a thousand years.

Stepping out of here meant that he might have to face everything alone, relying only on an old warship and a sparse legion.

In the face of a powerful alien race that also dominates the universe, such a power is really a bit insignificant.

But since human beings are already like this, what is the current state of those enemies of human beings, such as the Ancient Saints and Star Gods?

Including the allies and vassals who were once subservient to humanity, all in all, what is in front of him at this moment is unknown.

After a short period of measurement, Gu Fan finally silently moved his gaze to the side.

"It's easy to ......"

"There is a construction ship, and everything that can be recovered is put into the cabin of the Queen of Glory."

"The material and energy reserves in the Star Fortress, the wreckage of the Emma ships, in short, recover everything as much as possible."

"Don't waste mineral reserves, including the core of the earth, which may be needed for future factories and ship repairs."

As a large command ship with multi-purpose standards, the Queen of Glory class can be called a mobile armed city-state.

The premise is that the giant ship can be repaired perfectly, and if a sufficient number of crew members can be gathered.

Relying solely on the management of Snow Wind and the ship's autonomous AI, this behemoth is not yet fully effective.

"If nothing else, we shouldn't be back here again......"

......

Gu Fan knew that he couldn't really stay here, that would only lead to self-destruction.

At this moment, he silently told himself in his heart.

Even if there is an abyss ahead, you will die on the way to fight the unknown, and you will not wait for death in the grave of imminent destruction.

In the past, his own military school instructor once admonished himself.

The courage to face the unknown is the embodiment of human perseverance.

Assuming that mankind has really stepped off the stage of history, then we cannot abandon this spirit.
