Since the Giant Turtle Rock's chrono engine could only be applied to itself, and there was no way to cover the extra space like a dedicated barge, Hao Ren could only leave the golden giant ship here for the time being, and let the autonomic machines slowly repair it while studying it. Anyway, it is impossible for the ship to start on its own: the data terminal has confirmed that part of the main control system of the golden battleship has been severely damaged, just below the control hall, and some of the facilities have disappeared out of thin air like a black hole, which must have been accidentally destroyed by Vivien when she opened the portal to leave this place.

Hao Ren had the Giant Tortoise Rock Platform place several autonomic machines and a production module on the surface of the golden ship, and these automatic devices would begin to attempt to repair the ship and complete the full detection of the ship after everyone left. Since there is no technical information about the inverse in the database, the autonomousmen will probably completely tear down the damaged part of the golden giant ship and replace it with a new one, because it will take a little more time to write a compatibility protocol at the same time.

Hao Ren watched the self-discipline machinery and production modules unfold automatically on the bridge of the Giant Tortoise Rock Platform, and said casually: "We can go back first, and after this spaceship is repaired, it will go to the crystal nucleus research station on its own, and the data terminal should set its main engine." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light suddenly flashed on the bridge, and the data terminal happened to come back from the control center of the golden giant ship. It leaned on Hao Ren's shoulder while shouting, "What? Did you mention the local machine? ”

Hao Ren stretched out his hand and pushed the noisy brick away from his ears: "It's all done?" ”

"Oh, that's right," the computer staggered triumphantly on the spot. "This machine has completely rewritten the main engine of that ship, and now it can't be started except for the engine crew and the main power furnace. The ship is completely in control, and you don't believe it—"

The terminal said as he floated into the air. It began to give orders like a remote control, and the external lights of the golden giant ship immediately responded to its control: "You see, if the machine lets it turn on the headlights, it will turn on the headlights, if you let it open the shield, it will open the shield, if you let it open the hatch, it will open the hatch, and if you let it ignite, it will ......."

The glowing grid at the back of the golden battleship flickered for a moment, and then all the lights on the entire ship went out at once.

"Oh, and it just crashes - the machine forgot that this guy's engine is offline," the computer shook in embarrassment. "Minor problem, just restart it."

Hao Ren looked at the data terminal with an inexplicable and excited expression: "Anyway, you seem to be in a good mood, what's wrong?" ”

"You can see that, too?" The data terminal happily flipped its head in the air, and its pitch was an octave higher, "Spaceship! A brain-dead version of a spaceship! A spaceship that can't move itself! Isn't it possible for this machine to become the host of this product in the open? With this thing, the machine doesn't have to compete with Nolan for slots anymore! ”

The bridge suddenly fell silent, and Nolan was concentrating on checking his power department, when he heard this strange look on his face: "You also know that you usually grabbed that position?" ”

Hao Ren looked at the excited appearance of the data terminal and was speechless for a long time, and said in his heart that it was really worthy of being a valuable product from the production line. This guy wants to be the main engine of the battleship, and he is already thinking about it, right?

The data terminal was still happily shouting: "Although this ship is technically primitive, at least it is also a warship!" No matter what it looks like in his bones, at least it looks very majestic! The most important thing is that this machine has finally proved one thing, that is, as long as the belief is strong, the PDA can evolve into the main engine of the battleship......"

The brick itself was chattering in high spirits. Lily couldn't help but poke Hao Ren's arm: "Landlord, is it infected with the virus?" ”

Hao Ren grinned with a grin: "Hehe, it's okay." It's just crazy. ”

Before the end of the terminal, it muttered for a while and then suddenly rushed to Hao Ren: "That's right! This machine has to give this ship a name! What do you think is called Patian? Commemorating the success of the first evolution of this unit...... If you don't like it, you can call Hao Ren. But you'll have to draw the machine on the ship's shell......"

Hao Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed this noisy guy and stuffed it into his personal space: "This TM is research material. You tease! ”

The voice of the data terminal continued to echo in his head: "It's okay, it's not that the research materials can't fly, the machine is very pragmatic......"

Hao Ren covered his head and wanted to crash to death on the console: "Why is such a high-tech thing not even having a shutdown button!" ”

After Yizax waited for Hao Ren to finally subdue the data terminal (at least on the surface, it was a uniform, as for how noisy that thing was in Hao Ren's mind), he coughed lightly twice to attract the attention of others: "Anyway, let's just go back like this?" ”

Hao Ren patted his head, ignoring the endless chirping in his head, and looked up at the holographic projection in front of the console.

Probes from the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace and several drones have completed a rough scan of the skewed nebula, and no active targets have been found within the scanning range. As Lemendusa said, after the interstellar barrier was breached, all the rebels and guardians had already gone to the last line of defense of the Founding Star, and all that remained of the Surun's Gate system was a scorching and barren battlefield.

Such a vast battlefield, of course, may hide some other clues, at least here can salvage a large number of weapons and equipment of the warring sides, and there are also small strongholds and ecological planets built by the Guardians in other parts of the Crooked Nebula (although those planets have all been burned), these remnants are very necessary to explore, through them, it may be possible to restore the respective civilization forms of the Guardians and the Rebels.

Hao Ren nodded at Nolan's hologram: "Pick up the drone swarm for me." ”

Moments later, a changing face appeared on the holographic projection of the console, none other than the swarm consciousness of the probing drone swarm. As the drone swarm continues to grow, the swarm consciousness is getting smarter and stronger day by day, and it now even goes to the Empire's main data network to collect news materials that it is interested in, or makes short videos of interesting phenomena it has stumbled upon during its expansion and posts them on public channels, and occasionally has a heated discussion with other drone swarms working in space. But no matter what, as long as Hao Ren called, it would still appear immediately.

"Hello," the cluster consciousness greeted Hao Ren in an indifferent synthesized voice, "The group is waiting for orders,"

Hao Ren nodded and pointed to the star map beside him: "Increase the detection priority of the Gate of Suluen, I want you to build a drone brood in this place, and explore this galaxy as an important ruin, focusing on restoring the civilization forms that have appeared here." If you find something special, send it to the Crystal Nucleus Research Station. ”

"The fleet understands. Do you need to build an outpost lab? It is installed in the drone brood nest, which can improve the research efficiency. ”

"You can do it yourself," Hao Ren scratched his hair, "You are growing up very fast, and you can judge for yourself in terms of infrastructure." ”

After receiving the order, the cluster consciousness began to direct the mother plane that was "nesting" near the gate of Suluen to travel to the system. The nearby drone swarms will then make the Suluen Gate their new home, and they will build a large drone base in the depths of this crooked nebula, and excavate and salvage all the man-made ruins of this galaxy according to Hao Ren's orders.

Hopefully, there is really value in the shattered shipwreckage and scorching planetary scum that is worth such a big move.

Eventually, Hao Ren set up several building units and a space-time beacon on the ruined planet Surun. Although the planet had been completely destroyed, it was at least a relatively stable foothold compared to the rest of the Crooked Nebula, and there was a slight possibility of rebuilding and salvage, so Hao Ren decided to use Suluen as a "small station", just like he had done in Tanagus.

Of course, it is unlikely that this planet can be resurrected like Tanagus, and it is probably only possible to build a ground station.

After issuing an order to repair the golden ship, arranging a plan for a drone swarm to nest locally, and setting up a base on the surface of the planet Surun, Hao Ren finally confirmed that he had done everything he could do in this place, so he announced his return.

They first had to make a trip back to the crystal nucleus research station to house the rebel captive that Lily had accidentally captured.

That's where the prison system comes in. (To be continued......)
