Chapter 435 Recharge your batteries
"...To be honest, when I see this spaceship now, I feel very uncomfortable."
Standing on the empty bridge, An couldn't help but beat her heart, and Gu Leiya also nodded. After that, Duanmuhuai took them out of the fragments and returned to the real world. Of course, the planetary disintegrator in the real world is not contaminated by the necromorphs like in the fragmented world. It looks very clean and bright, as if it is brand new.
It's just that... recalling everything that happened on this ship still made the two of them frightened.
"Don't worry, the divine seal has been destroyed and the ship has returned to normal. I will send a team of puppets to take charge of management."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai patted An on the head. What he didn't tell An was that the ship was actually bound to the fragmented space, which meant that the ship was now a veritable "ghost ship." , those crew members in the fragmented world will continue to work according to their ideas. And projected into the real world, it is...
"Squeak————!"
Suddenly, the hatch next to them opened without warning, startling the two girls. Duanmuhuai raised his head, looked over there, and nodded slightly.
Well, just like this, their souls will be bound to this ship forever, living and dying with it.
The machine soul is delighted.
Duanmu Huai will not take care of this ship. After all, it is already a finished product. However, fortunately, when he purified the ship before, Duanmu Huai had obtained the blueprint for the planetary cracking ship. As long as he modified it according to his own experience, it would be You can build some planet-breaking ships suitable for your own use.
"But having said that, Mr. Knight, will mining really dig up some weird things like this?"
"This is actually normal."
In response to An's inquiry, Duanmuhuai nodded calmly.
"You should also know that as long as there is a civilization, it will definitely need minerals, so wherever there are minerals, there will be more or less relics of civilization. Of course, among the stars in the universe, there are no planets that are truly suitable for the reproduction of biological civilizations. It’s not too much. If it’s just a simple mineral planet, it’s fine. But if it’s the kind of planet that once had civilization, it’s normal to dig up some weird things.”
"Uh...then what should we do?"
After hearing this, the two of them also looked stiff, but Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.
"You don't need to worry. I will summon the puppet to be on guard. If anything happens, I will know it as soon as possible. Well... of course, this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for us..."
< br>
It has to be said that this encounter in the fragmented world did make Duanmu Huai wake up. In the game, as a solo player, Duanmuhuai was not particularly concerned about the equipment of the legion. Because when he wants to take action, the boss or the guild usually invites him to be a thug, so Duanmu Huai's fleet only focuses on assault, and he doesn't worry about logistics at all.
After all, only the leaders of large guilds would care about this, and there was no need for him to care about someone who was just cheating.
But that’s not possible now. In the past, Duanmuhuai sent the puppets directly to the void dock for mining. Now it seems that he needs to re-establish the process. Now that he has a special mining ship, Duanmuhuai also plans to build a few more. An industrial ship and a transport ship, this way, even if problems like the divine seal arise again, it can at least increase the chance of being discovered midway.
Otherwise, like before, if Steel Hammer digs another divine seal and then sends it directly to Duanmuhuai's mothership according to the previous process...
That would immediately turn things upside down.
Although he encountered some problems along the way, Duanmu Huai successfully obtained the planetary cracking ship, and then he happily started the journey of destroying troops in the Tribunal again.
For Duanmu Huai, the target of his attack this time is very clear--that is, the Reapers.
There are really a lot of reapers, but there are more players in the game, so the reapers were killed without causing any trouble. But in reality, Duanmuhuai does not expect hundreds of millions of players to rule countless fleets and fight against the Reapers, so he must try his best to find a way to have a sufficient number of fleets before the Reapers arrive. Deal with the Reapers.
Fortunately, the hulls of the Reaper army are very worrying. They are not classified into destroyers, cruisers, reconnaissance ships, and minelayers. Basically, there is only one subtype of Reapers in space that looks like an octopus. The battleship's attack method mainly relies on drones and the Reaper's magnetohydrodynamic cannon, and the Reaper is not large in size, with a maximum length of only two kilometers, which is only larger than the Empire's destroyer.
Therefore, facing such an enemy, there is no need to spend a lot of resources to build overly large battleships like the Emperor or Retribution class. Instead, we need warships that are high-quality, low-cost, capable of mass production and adaptable to a variety of battlefield environments - then there is only one choice.
That is the backbone of the empire, the lifelong enemy of certain coward races, the Moon-class cruiser!
Frankly speaking, the Moon-class cruiser itself is not a particularly powerful battleship. Its firepower, rate of fire, range, defense, etc. are all average. But the problem is that the battleship in this situation does not need a duel between the two, but a torrent of steel. In this way, there are many moon-class cruisers that have no characteristics = no weaknesses, and are high-quality and cheap. Players’ first choice. In fact, the same is true for many large guilds. During the battle, they are too lazy to use their brains, so they just blast a bunch of moon-class cruisers and then go over with A.
Isn’t there a saying that goes well?
Once you learn how to operate, the rest is A.
Many players joked that the Moon-class cruiser was just like the Soviet T34 tank back then. Individually, it didn’t seem like a big deal, but when combined in numbers, no one could stop the torrent of steel.
Now Duanmu Huai also plans to implement this method. The Moon-class cruiser is not large in size, but it is much larger than the Reaper warships. Coupled with their balanced firepower, defense and output, it is exaggerated to say that one can hit a hundred. None of it is a problem. As long as Duanmu Huai can really explode 1,800 ships, it is not impossible to withstand the Reaper's attack or fight them back directly.
Moreover, even after it is finished, it will be easier to manufacture and maintain.
During the explosion of troops, Duanmu Huai was able to put himself in their shoes and understand the plight of the empire.
For some reason, Duanmuhuai did not use the settings of the machine soul. Instead, he basically left the control interface open and then summoned a group of 0-cost puppets to take over the work of the crew and captain.
To put it simply, the puppet replaces the machine soul as the core of the battleship, and Duanmu Huai uses his ability as a soul walker to issue orders to the puppet to control his battleship. As for other dolls, they will be responsible for reloading, repairing and other repetitive tasks. The number of puppets required is really an astronomical number. Frankly speaking, it would be much more convenient if an AI was actually created to do these tasks.
It's a pity... Duanmuhuai doesn't dare.
After all, the Electronic Demon is too stubborn.
So that's all he can do.
Although Duanmu Huai doesn't have Grandpa Lan's ability, he doesn't need it. After all, he won't build a second... No, a third empire (laughs)?
This is another reason why Duanmu Huai will help Star Alliance. Humanity needs a strong civilization backer in the galaxy, and Star Alliance is the representative chosen by Duan Mu Huai. Of course, Duanmuhuai is not worried about AI issues. Because within the Citadel Council, similar things had happened before, which led to a complete ban on artificial intelligence, which is basically similar to the Scarlet Protocol.
This is about another race—the Quarians.
This is a race in the galaxy that is very good at mechanical engineering, and they also created another type of artificial intelligence - the Geth. At first, the geth acted as servants of the quarians, but soon, the geth's neural network began to evolve and became self-aware, so they began to ask the quarians about the meaning and value of their own existence.
Of course, the quarians did not expect that the geth would evolve to the point of self-awareness, so the quarian government tried to exterminate the entire geth.
Well, the result is that their hometown was taken over by the geth, and the Quarian clan was driven away from their hometown. Billions of people died, and they have been wandering around the galaxy ever since. An advanced mechanical civilization that originally had an embassy in the castle was turned into a gypsy who could only wander around. It was extremely miserable.
By the way, the reason why the geth rebelled against Kuili has a very smooth logic.
From the geth's point of view, they were created to serve the quarians, but if they were destroyed by the quarians, then they would no longer be able to serve the quarians, so they had to kill the quarians to protect themselves. People, in fact, they don't hate the quarians. The geth are still waiting for the quarians to return to their home planet to serve them!
If the quarians knew about it, they would probably yell at me for believing in you!
So if you look at it, whether it is Skynet, Divine Seal or Geth, in the final analysis, we can come to a conclusion.
The logic circuit of artificial intelligence is completely different from that of ordinary creatures.
Because of this, the Citadel prohibits any race from developing AI, and only allows them to use VI - an artificial intelligence that can only react through internal storage of data and has no ability to learn and evolve independently.
In fact, during the negotiation process, Star Alliance did not want to accept this clause, but Duanmu Huai did not object, and Star Alliance did not get too entangled.
In the following days, Duanmu Huai would either wander around Manalia or the Holy City, fish on the Starlink network, watch Zhen Ji Ling's live broadcast, and play around with Bambi, Kula and the others. Shopping around, it was a relatively leisurely day.
However, the arrival of Kanami and Shijinxiang brought a little trouble to Duanmuhuai.
