In order to repair and assess the condition of the Retribution-class battleship that had just been captured, the entire Combined Fleet had to stay in the Tiedong II system for a whole day.

Although Gu Hang was not very satisfied with the fact that it had taken so long, Wang Zhaoran, the controlling bishop of the Mingyang Sect and the technical chief advisor of the Flying Wing Star, was not impressed.

He explained the reason to Gu Hang.

First, the shipbuilding technology of the Pegasus Star Region has surpassed the entire Dragon Eagle Star Domain, but there is still no experience in manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing Retribution-class battleships. I have never built such a big ship, and it takes a whole day to build such a big ship at one time.

The second is the extent to which the ship has been corrupted by Chaos, which is quite serious, which is a bigger problem than the former.

In fact, when Wang Zhaoran told Gu Hang that he could get the boat back, although he was very confident, he was actually not so sure.

But......

"Teacher, aren't we lying to the Governor like this?" While his apprentice was working, he couldn't help but ask Wang Zhaoran in a whisper.

Wang Zhaoran's mechanical arm pushed the apprentice's head back: "Work hard, don't talk nonsense." ”

The other apprentice smiled at this time and spoke: "If the teacher doesn't say so, what if that Governor Gu gives up the plan to seize the ship?" How did we have this opportunity to touch such a big ship? ”

Wang Zhaoran bowed slightly.

That's exactly what he meant.

Moreover, if it's just a retribution-level, the key is still a deep corruption of chaos.

Chaos corruption isn't a good thing, of course, but isn't it a pretty rare occurrence?

With rare battleships and rare corruption, can the oil guy not be tempted?

He's got to come!

It's just that the current situation is still a bit beyond his estimate.

If it's just a mechanical problem, it's actually easier to do. Although Wang Zhaoran also has no experience in dealing with Retribution-class battleships, after all, the technical knowledge of many naval ships is universal. The main thing is that the damage to this retribution-class ship is not very big, just figure out how to drive the ship.

But corruption is different.

The Mechanics believe that all mechanical creations in this world, from the huge supership of a city to the most ordinary gun, have souls.

This is called 'machine soul'.

Whether it's changing the battery for a laser gun, oiling the tracks of a Lion tank, or chanting blessings with incense and scriptures before a Star Marine, it's all a way to appease the spirit. The great joy of the machine soul can make the mechanical creation more stable, and even have extraordinary performance; If the machine soul is not happy, then there will be a malfunction.

Of course, although this term is more popular, it is mainly the Mechanism and the people who believe in the Mechanism that are particularly serious.

The machine soul thing is a bit mysterious, and a considerable number of people don't believe it, or don't understand it.

At the moment, Wang Zhaoran confirmed that it was particularly difficult for this battleship to be rescued.

The main problem is the rebellion of the machine soul caused by the corruption of Chaos.

Corrupted mechs, furious and bloodthirsty, filled with a maddening force.

Piloting this ship, if only for a short time, may be fine; But if it takes a little longer, then all the crew members will be in danger of getting infected and falling into madness.

A mad crew member can suddenly begin to perform indiscriminate feats on the battlefield with the ship, or at worst carry out evil rituals inside the ship, calling out the demons of the abyss.

This kind of problem cannot be solved by repairing the devices and parts on a few ships, it requires a long and complex technical means to be able to solve the corruption problem on the soul again.

Even, Wang Zhaoran was not sure if there really was such a way to appease and purify the soul.

At least he won't.

After handing over the basic ship overhaul and maintenance work to the students, he spent the next day trying to see if various ways to appease the soul were effective.

He made fifteen attempts, each of which failed.

There was no movement at all, and in the process of communicating with the machine soul, he didn't even feel that the machine soul of this retribution-class battleship gave him half a point of feedback, and all he heard was a violent roar.

Even, he didn't dare to continue to try anymore. Every time he tried to communicate with the machine spirit, he could feel a lot of mental pressure. After fifteen methods failed, although he still had a few tricks, the probability of having an effect was extremely low, and he might even let himself fall into the abyss......

Then you don't have to.

The next day, in front of Gu Hang, he didn't dare to hide or make up anything more, and basically explained what he knew.

By this time, he was still a little apprehensive.

Before he came, he said he could drive the boat back.

Right now...... He didn't break his promise, and he would definitely be able to drive back. But if the problem of ship corruption is not solved, what is the use of just driving back? It doesn't work in real combat at all.

Even, even if it is simply parked in the starport, there will be a risk of corruption and spreading.

But Gu Hang didn't seem to care too much about this.

He smiled and said, "Just drive back, without further ado, we'll go back now!" ”

……

Unlike what Wang Zhaoran was worried about, Gu Hang was not afraid of any chaos and corruption, what he was most afraid of was the mechanical mechanism of the ship, and what relatively large and unsolvable problems would appear.

If there is such a problem, he will be helpless, and can only admit that this operation has lost a lot of money.

But fortunately, this kind of problem did not happen under his care.

As for the problem of corruption, he has a solution.

He couldn't quite understand what the Mechanists called 'machine souls'. In his opinion, the religious meaning of that thing is greater than the practical significance.

In this universe that is not materialistic or scientific at all, Gu Hang will not easily deny such a mysterious thing. Its existence has been widely recognized by a large part of the population, so whether it is false or not, it will come true.

However, in the current matter, Gu Hang has his own way to deal with it.

He really didn't know what it meant to be corrupted, but he could solve the problem in a very simple way: with thunder, with storm power, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, from every part of this ship, even every screw, all washed.

With the divine power of storm and thunder, he washed away all the blood god aura that was contaminated on this battleship.

Maybe one wash is not enough, then wash it ten times, a hundred times.

When this battleship is in the real universe, in a place where the realm of the 'tyrant' cannot interfere with, and then it is baptized by the thunder divine power over and over again, there will always be a time to wash it up.

At that time, the corrupted machine soul should also be cleared of corruption!
