Chapter 91

Landing on the spaceship with Chu Xiu, Qi Heng was putting the energy blocks he had taken from Base No. 2 into the spaceship's spare energy absorption device.

This spaceship can be said to be built with the top technology of level six civilization, and its performance and configuration are top-notch.

Originally, it did not need such a low-level and slow energy replenishment method as energy blocks. The core of its own energy output device is the antimatter furnace. A little antimatter can provide a large amount of energy to the spacecraft, so there is no need to use such a backward method to replenish it.

Well, this is based on the model of an intact energy system.

After a systematic inspection, it was found that the energy system of the spacecraft was basically shut down, and 80% of the power, balance and other systems were damaged - otherwise it would not have descended rapidly from a height of thousands of meters that night, almost like a crash.

After he put all the energy blocks into the device, the scale bar next to it showing the current energy remaining of the spacecraft rose from 0% to 5%.

When the spacecraft was first manufactured, it was taken into consideration that if the antimatter furnace was damaged or the current situation occurred, it would generally be returned to the factory for repairs. After all, there is no way for private individuals to perform repairs.

This is mainly because if the antimatter in the antimatter furnace explodes improperly, the energy it triggers could easily obliterate a large area. Therefore, the highest level of protection is required to prevent it from exploding before the spacecraft is damaged.

——This is also the reason why the spaceship driven by Chu Xiu is still intact.

Of course, the design of the spacecraft also takes into account the situation where there is no way to repair it, so it is equipped with a spare energy absorption and conversion device, which can absorb any energy and convert it into energy for use in the spacecraft... whether it is backward electricity, nuclear energy, or clean energy such as wind energy and solar energy.

The energy contained in energy blocks varies according to their levels. They are mainly portable and convenient to use. The energy required by most technological products can be replaced with energy blocks of different sizes and levels.

From small and portable headphones and optical computers to large handheld weapons and mecha spacecraft, energy blocks come in handy when high-power energy replenishment is not possible.

Qi Heng walked into the main control room of the spacecraft.

After replenishing the spacecraft's energy, the light inside the spacecraft turned from dim to bright, and the equipment also obtained enough energy to turn on.

Five days ago, in the early morning, Qi Heng had A0 switch the spaceship to stealth mode. He hadn't realized the spaceship only had 4% of its remaining energy. If he hadn't remembered the spaceship's usefulness, it would have been discovered sooner or later due to insufficient energy.

Stealth mode doesn't consume much energy, but it does require a lot to maintain. 4% of energy is only enough for a few days.

When he arrived, he saw that the spacecraft's energy was almost exhausted, so he immediately went back to Base No. 2 and brought a truckload of energy blocks.

As Qi Heng sat down, the screen in front of him lit up, emitting a soft light.

[The spacecraft has been launched. Mastermind Deep Blue sends you greetings.]

At the same time, as the sound rang out, a blue sphere with a few strokes of pure white painted on it rolled out from the depths of the screen, appeared in the center of the screen and looked into his eyes with a funny expression.

he:……

This ridiculous ball made Qi Heng feel a little dazed. He had thought Chu Xiu's spaceship was actually 'his' own?! Who on earth had agreed to load this bizarre mainframe system image?

Before he could say anything, the funny ball seemed to have discovered something and suddenly stuck to the screen. It was enlarged and flattened to make it look even funnier.

[Oh my god! Are you the Lord?!]

[The similarity between your appearance and that of the Lord is over 100%. You must be the Lord!]

[There is nothing wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with it, you are the master! ]

[When I woke up, I detected traces of Lord Shirogane entering the Deep Blue system~~~]

Qi Heng: No, I really don’t want to admit this.

[I never thought that one day Shenlan would see you again in front of Shenlan~~ Shenlan thought that she would never see you again. Wuwuwu~~~]

"Oh, I thought this day wouldn't come. After all, you use the Shengtianjia most often. The last time we met was when you were interning with Lord Baiyin." The funny ball suddenly sprouted two fleshy hands and waved them around. Excited, the entire ball twisted into a trembling wave.

Qi Heng's mouth twitched. This thing was the AI ​​'Deep Blue'? The AI ​​that was once said to be the most evolved of all intelligent brains in the entire civilization, second only to A1 in power?

'Silver' was the name given to A1 when it served as the mastermind of the Tianjia Central Think Tank. Similarly, the AIs produced by the other eight systems also had names. And the number of intelligent brains that have earned names outside of system AIs is limited to a handful in Tianjia civilization.

He was the one who named all these AIs, including Deep Blue.

However, unlike the AIs that serve in other areas of civilization, Deep Blue is the main brain on the Deep Blue, a small private starship built by the Empire for the Overlord.

An AI capable of easily managing a vast civilization would only be qualified to serve as a starship steward for the Overlord in the Tianjia civilization. Word of this would make even the sixth-level civilization jealous, not to mention the lower-level civilizations. After all, even the administrator of a sixth-level civilization wouldn't be qualified to use the civilization's most valuable artifacts for personal use.

And this so-called private use can be said to be something the Overlord said casually at the time - he wanted a small spaceship for exploration.

Then it is manufactured using the most advanced technology and materials, equipped with various weapons of the best performance and powerful intelligent AI.

From this incident alone, we can see how much importance the Tianjia civilization attached to the words of the Overlord. It was an unlimited satisfaction and unconditional agreement for the Overlord... Not even parents would give such unconditional responses to their children's requests and dote on them without limits.

...But it is inevitable.

For the Tianjia civilization, gods do not exist, but the master is the god of their soul and race.

Facing the Lord, they are the believers who are eager to sacrifice everything in the hope of making the Lord happy... Unfortunately, in the tens of thousands of years of civilization, the Lord has made very few "personal" requests.

Sometimes...

——Then naturally only the best and most precious ones are worthy of the status of Your Excellency the Lord and worthy of being used by Your Excellency the Lord!

"Your Excellency? Your Excellency? Why are you silent?"

[Do you still remember me? We met when you gave me a name.]

[My image was given by you, it's unique and different~~ Shenlan really likes it~ Your Excellency the Lord~ Your Excellency the Lord~] The funny ball twisted even more happily. If it weren't for the screen blocking it, it seemed as if it would twist out of the screen and pounce on him at the next moment.

Qi Heng was shocked by the look of BT, who seemed to be possessed by a nymphomaniac. He couldn't bear to look at it.

He began to reflect on why the Empire had so casually given an AI such an initial personality and image when it presented the Deep Blue to the Overlord.

——What on earth was I thinking at that time? ! ! !

A voice deep inside my heart said: Because it's a game, you can set it up in any way that makes it fun.

The only thing he hadn't expected was that one day this thing would actually appear before him. Listening to the twisted funny ball repeatedly calling "Lord Lord" like a crazy fan, Qi Heng interrupted with a blank expression.

"It's too noisy, be quiet."

Suddenly, there was silence for a second.

The deep blue's expression is fixed in a funny way with its eyes looking to one side, so even if it makes an aggrieved expression when it is muted, it not only does not look pitiful, but also looks like a prelude to itching to touch.

[Master, well done! ]

[It should be fixed. It's disgusting to look at. I can format it for you if you need...]

A0 felt that AI Deep Blue was extremely annoying. It looked like a bitch trying to steal the Lord's attention from him. He was the Lord's most useful assistant and didn't need an AI like him to steal the show.

It took a lot of effort to convince the Lord not to activate A1 for the time being.

A0's words left Qi Heng speechless.

He thought for a moment and said, "I remember that the Deep Blue was very large."

Qi Heng found the few pieces of information about Deep Blue that he still remembered from his memory.

Although the Deep Blue is a small spaceship used for exploration, because it is provided to the Overlord, although its size is maintained as a "small" spaceship, it is still hundreds of meters long.

(At the time, any spacecraft under 200 meters in length was classified as a small spacecraft.)

The person in charge of building the spaceship for the Overlord tried his best to increase the performance of the spaceship in order to make a small spaceship worthy of the Overlord. However, he was unwilling to disobey the Overlord's orders, so he came up with a trick - to make the size of the spaceship just meet the passing line of a "small spaceship".

As for why Qi Heng remembered it so clearly... well, when he was looking at the spacecraft data, the precise 199.9 meters left a deep impression on him.

Why is it so precise?

That is of course because as long as it is above 200 meters (inclusive), it falls within the range of medium-sized spacecraft.

[You are right, this is indeed not the Deep Blue.]

[To be more precise, this is the Deep Blue's escape pod.]

"Your Excellency, there's no need to be confused. While it has the appearance of a spaceship and possesses its functions, it is indeed an escape pod."

...There is a spaceship inside a spaceship. All the top equipment and performance it possesses are completely unrelated to an escape pod. Is this considered as calling a horse a zebra?

Qi Heng thought about it, raised his brows slightly and said nothing. He knew that this was probably another trick by the designer of Deep Blue.

Looking at the damage report on the spacecraft displayed on the screen and the endless list of repair tasks next to it, Qi Heng's eyes fell on the funny ball in the corner of the screen, shrinking itself and crying. Ignoring Shenlan's funny expression and image, he thought for a moment and asked, "Shenlan, is the spacecraft's energy collection system still functioning normally?"

Unlike the people in this interstellar civilization, he had never piloted a real spaceship, nor had he learned how to repair one. Even if he had learned a little bit after crossing over, it was still far from enough... Fortunately, when he was playing games, he had come across various in-game information, and most of the knowledge in that information was useful.

[I really want to say yes, but I'm sorry, sir.]

Deep Blue said with some annoyance: "After self-inspection, I found that the external deployment device of the energy collection system cannot be opened. I need to consume 1% of my energy to awaken the dormant nanoworms for repair."

"Then fix it." Qi Heng nodded to show that he understood.

【yes. 】

【I will obey your orders.】

[Awaken dormant nanoworms... Estimated total repair time: fifteen minutes, consuming 30% of the stored nanoworms...]

Qi Heng called up the Deep Blue's performance settings. After the energy collection system was repaired, it could collect solar energy during the day.

Designed to resemble a small, single-person spaceship, the escape pod is 5.5 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, and 4.9 meters high, with an oval shape that's slightly tapered at the ends and bulged in the middle. When fully deployed, its energy-collecting equipment can replenish the spacecraft's energy by 5% daily during strong sunlight.

The sunshine on Tianyun Star is not very good, and it should fluctuate between 2% and 3%.

Energy collection cannot be rushed. The minimum requirement for the spacecraft to function properly is that the spacecraft energy must not be less than 10%. Before the energy meets the requirement, the spacecraft is just a larger model.

Qi Heng thought in his heart that compared to this, he had some other things he wanted to ask Shenlan.
