Since there was not enough space inside the factory to accommodate a behemoth like the Queen of Glory, after careful calculation, the Longmen Factory had to abandon a floating island for unloading goods under the default of 301.

After severing the steel cables and wiring from the island, the massive building was completely detached from the main body of the factory, leaving a very rudimentary open-air harbor area for the Queen of Glory, but barely large enough to accommodate the hull.

When the ship finished docking with the factory, countless engineering robots with dark yellow paint rushed out of the factory at full speed.

Like a swarm of bees going out to collect, these little guys began to carry out all-round maintenance and repairs around the inside and outside of the battleship, and I have to say that this scene is quite spectacular.

Although it is only some basic sealing repair work, it is extremely necessary for the Glory Queen class at this time.

According to the preliminary calculations of the 301, this repair can fully restore the engine's ability to jump, and at the same time, the internal area of the entire hull will also restore about 85% of the functional area, in order to achieve the desired effect, the entire factory can be said to be at full power.

[Engine area output has been increased to 96.7%]

......

[The tail armor has been sealed.] 】

......

[The production department has been re-launched and started ......]

With Xue Feng's reports from time to time, this steel behemoth from the past was gradually rejuvenating, and Gu Fan could even vaguely hear the joyful shouts of the battleship's program along with the continuous pop-up of repair data.

While the repairs were being carried out in an orderly manner, some of the remaining production resources in the factory were transported into the cargo hold by the robots assigned by 301.

Most of them are basic mechanical assemblies with a small amount of energy cubes required by the engine.

According to the other party, in order to meet the daily needs of the factory in the past hundred years, he has sent engineering ships to explore the nearby buildings many times, and thus harvested a lot of useful things.

I have to say, this is a pretty smart guy, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even believe that all of these instructions came from a robot's CPU.

For the first time, Gu Fan began to have an admiring idea of a machine.

......

......

However, just when everything seemed to be going well.

[Energy fluctuations detected.] 】

Suddenly, accompanied by the alarm of the ship's detector.

There was an explosion inside the factory on the side, and flames began to rise from the core area of the factory.

What's going on?

Just when Gu Fan was about to ask what happened to 301, the other party's calm voice came from the communicator.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

According to the analysis of the ship's computer, the place where the explosion occurred is located in the power layer of the plant, which is the core of the entire plant.

Before he could react to this, through the window of the command hall, he saw some of them wandering in the void, and the engineering robots that were working stopped working.

Gradually......

One, ten, dozens, hundreds......

Like patches of withered yellow leaves, more and more engineering machines began to lose their reaction and fell into the icy galaxy.

At the same time, the steel cables that were originally used for temporary docking with the battleship also broke one after another in the overpressure reaction, and the steam sprayed and floated weakly in the void.

And Gu Fan was lying on the external window of the command room, staring at everything that was happening in front of him incredulously.

Suddenly, it seemed that something had come to mind......

There is no doubt that the Queen of Glory class is a large and complex warship.

If you want to repair such a huge steel behemoth, it will inevitably require a considerable amount of energy.

In the past, such a large amount of work for a factory of this size may not be a problem.

But the problem is that for at least a thousand years, the Longmen factory has been in an unattended state, even though 301 can repair some basic equipment.

However, the power system and energy reserves inside the factory, which require precise maintenance, are not something that 301 can solve, and it will inevitably be irreversibly damaged over time.

Obviously, 301 also took this into account, which is why it put the factory into a dormant state before its arrival.

But now, at his own request, the repair work for the battleship has become a serious burden on the old factory.

Soon, the intermittent voice of 301 was heard again in the communication channel.

"Thank you for letting me know that we haven't been abandoned yet."

......

"Protocol one, completed."

At this moment, Gu Fan, who gradually understood everything, only felt a blank in his brain.

"Don't worry, we'll continue to wait here, waiting for humanity to return......"

With the fainter sound inside the communicator, the lights inside the Longmen factory are going out.

It didn't take long for everything to return to its former desolate appearance.

Through the glass of the command room, in the cold body of that group of engineering robots, Gu Fan saw that familiar figure again.

It was C19, at the last moment when it was about to fall into a deep sleep, it used its remaining energy to wake up the screen in front of its chest, showing that iconic cartoon smiling face for Gu Fan, who was destined to travel far away.

Protocol No. 1, all judgments of artificial intelligence must be based on the interests of human civilization.

Behind him, Xue Feng was already waiting quietly.

"At present, the overall efficiency of the ship has been restored to 87%, and the engine room has been completely restored."

Hearing the report, Gu Fan turned around and looked at the girl with a lovely face in front of him, at this moment his heart felt like a stone had been crushed, and he always felt uncomfortable.

"Is this your order?"

In the face of inquiry, the girl was just calm, looking at herself with those burgundy pupils.

"I just told him that the current situation facing humanity is a choice he has made."

Hearing such an answer, Gu Fan didn't say anything, just turned around again and faced the direction where the dragon gate was, and slowly straightened up.

I looked at the factory that had fallen back into darkness in front of me.

He looked at the countless sleeping robots that were floating around the battleship.

......

......

I don't know how long later, facing the cold and deep galaxy in front of me, a short order came from the empty hall.

"Target Centaur Alfa Galaxy, ready to enter the transition state."

After receiving the order, the huge hull of the Queen of Glory immediately began to move.

Staring at the ancient star that was about to die in the distance, Gu Fan silently put on his military hat.

From this moment on, a long-term goal had taken root in his heart, and he wanted to bring back the once great empire to this universe.

- No matter what happens, the names of human beings will reappear on the star charts of this universe until they become eternal.
