Chapter 182 Starship, Set Sail
Watching Chen Fan sign his name on the holographic panel in front of him, Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and passed her contact information to Chen Fan's smart terminal.
"The goods have been confirmed to be received."
Lin's tone was a little hurried: "Renlian Express is happy to serve you, see you later!"
Before she finished speaking, the spherical logistics ship that had been hovering above Chen Fan's head had already begun to slowly retreat in the direction of the wormhole. Chen Fan
looked at the spherical logistics ship that gradually retreated to the edge of the wormhole and gradually twisted and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye with some helplessness.
It can be seen that Lin is really afraid of artificial intelligence.
Even if this out-of-control artificial intelligence only has the technology of a first-level civilization.
This also proves in disguise how difficult it is for artificial intelligence, a dangerous technology, even if the other party is just a little Karami who has just begun to develop!
When the logistics ship was almost reduced to a small dot that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, the dark and deep spherical surface in the sky began to shrink sharply.
Just like the scene when it appeared, in just a moment, the wormhole shrank to a bright and dazzling point of light, and finally dissipated into the air.
The micro-accretion disk hovering around it turned into a gradually dimming stream of light, and completely disappeared in the air after drawing a graceful arc.
The originally distorted space returned to its former flatness after a tremor.
The blue sky was cloudless, and the drone that had been haunting it had completely disappeared.
Perhaps it was frightened by the logistics ship, or perhaps the space shock wave emitted by the logistics ship was too powerful, directly clearing out the drones within a radius of 100 miles...
Even though the traces of the logistics ship and the wormhole disappeared completely, Chen Fan did not hear the noisy buzzing sound of the drone.
An almost imperceptible sigh came from the side.
Chen Fan subconsciously turned his head to look at the side, only to see Isa looking up, looking at the area where the wormhole dissipated with a somewhat gloomy face.
He laughed dumbly, and subconsciously raised his hand to pat the wide hood on Isa's head: "There will be a chance to see you again."
"Maybe... when we go to the headquarters of the Dangerous Technology Administration, we will see other Lothal people."
As he said, he turned and looked at the shit-yellow starship behind him.
Although it looks a bit ugly, it is still a starship!
A starship that is enough to travel the stars!
Lu Xun once said that no man can say no to a starship that belongs to him alone, just like no man can refuse the temptation of heavy mecha.
Chen Fan's eyes flashed with excitement and joy, and he walked towards the investigator starship parked not far away.
...
When the starship was hanging high in the sky, Chen Fan didn't feel much, after all, there was a larger logistics ship as a background board next to it.
In comparison, the investigator starship was like a child who had not yet reached the full moon.
But when the starship landed in front of him, Chen Fan finally couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really big..."
What does it mean to be 120 meters long and 60 meters high?
Imagine an 18-story building with a foundation larger than a standard football field.
"This is already the smallest starship in the Human Alliance." An electronic synthesized voice came, "After all, it is a personal starship, and it does not need too much living space inside."
The starship did not completely land on the ground, but remained suspended close to the ground under the action of the anti-gravity field.
This soft soil cannot bear the mass of this starship!
"This thing..."
Chen Fan carefully looked at the starship shell that was as smooth as a mirror without a single crack on the surface. After hesitating for a long time, he asked Yi: "...Where is the door?"
Yi: "...Wait a minute."
After a very short silence, a gap suddenly appeared in the head area of the starship not far from Chen Fan.
The gap slowly widened and eventually formed a spacious hatch with a height of nearly ten meters.
A staircase with a gleaming metallic luster slowly extended out from the hatch and hovered steadily above the ground.
Chen Fan smiled awkwardly and walked quickly towards the open hatch.
The moment he stepped on the metal staircase, a white light shot out from the hatch in front of him and swept across him.
"Identity information has been confirmed."
A smart electronic synthesized voice came from the hatch: "Welcome, Captain."
When Chen Fan heard the word "Captain", the corners of his mouth that he had been trying to suppress finally broke free from the shackles and began to rise continuously!
Captain! This is the captain!
He never thought that one day he would be given such a title!
Not only Chen Fan, but also Isa and Gao Yuan who followed behind him also flashed white scanning beams one after another.
As assistants to the investigators, Isa and Gao Yuan were ordinary crew members.
Passing through the oversized hatch, Chen Fan was the first to enter the starship. After
a not-so-narrow corridor, the first thing that came into view was a room full of life.
"The interior of the Universal Type I Nebula-class starship is equipped with a living area, which can meet the needs of most carbon-based creatures in the human union."
Yi's voice came to his ears, introducing the basic configuration of this starship for Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked around the living area in front of him. It was
a spacious and bright space, with all kinds of furniture that met the aesthetic and living habits of most people, and a minimalist decoration style...
The only thing that confused Chen Fan was the three giant capsules over two meters long placed on the side of the living room.
He walked to the three silver-white "capsules".
Sensing someone approaching, a small holographic panel automatically popped up above one of the "capsules".
"Carbon-based Type I biological universal medical cabin?"
Chen Fan whispered the words on the holographic panel, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Medical cabin?!"
"Universal medical cabin, can solve more than 99% of diseases. Theoretically, as long as you have a breath, this thing can keep you alive."
As Yi's voice sounded, a lot of information flashed quickly on the holographic panel in front of him.
Among these fleeting words, Chen Fan quickly noticed several key words: "Strengthen? Resurrection?!"
Chen Fan widened his eyes and exclaimed: "This thing also has a resurrection function?!"
This is not a medical cabin.
This is simply a rebirth point!
If he had known that the Human Alliance had this technology, he would have been worried about nothing and would have just rushed in!
"There are quite a few limitations." Noticing Chen Fan's thoughts, Yi quickly poured a basin of cold water on him, "First, we must ensure the integrity of the thinking organ."
"Secondly, the shorter the time of death of the living organism, the better. The theoretical standard time limit is one hour."
"In most cases, one hour after the death of a living organism, the quantum signals inside the thinking organ will gradually dissipate. Even if the body's activity is restored with the help of various instruments, all you get is a zombie without self-thinking."
Chen Fan understood: "What about strengthening?"
"This machine has just checked it. This medical cabin should be the latest model, and it has the function of a gene optimization cabin integrated inside."
Hearing this familiar term, Chen Fan's eyes lit up slightly: "Gene optimization cabin? You mean..."
"Yes, it's a standard benefit for investigators. You can directly optimize your genes in the medical cabin."
...
Chen Fan and the other two did not stay in the living area for too long.
After a brief understanding, he followed the guidance of the holographic road sign inside the ship and walked to the cockpit adjacent to the living area.
"The belly of the starship is the storage area, which is mainly used to store daily necessities and various weapons and ammunition."
"The tail of the starship is more important. Various key equipment is installed in it, such as vacuum zero-point energy reactors, jump engines, etc."
With Yi's explanation and the reminder of successful identity authentication, the door of the cockpit suddenly opened.
The spacious and bright cockpit also appeared in front of Chen Fan.
The three driving seats of the main and second co-pilot were arranged in a triangular shape in front of the high-strength porthole with perfect viewing conditions. Behind the driving seat were two rows of passenger seats.
The giant holographic projection overlapped with the porthole and quietly floated above the main control console directly in front of the main driving seat.
The holographic projection was showing various real-time parameters of the starship. Relying on the theoretical knowledge he had learned in the past few days, Chen Fan vaguely recognized some of the parameters.
[The vacuum zero-point energy reactor is in normal condition, with a current output power of 0.01%.]
[The anti-gravity force field is in normal condition, with a current output power of 5%.]
[The shield system is in normal condition, with a comprehensive shield capacity of 100%.]
[…]
In short, this is a brand new starship in a very healthy state!
Just as Chen Fan was staring at the holographic projection, several humanoid robots slowly floated outside the cockpit and finally disappeared at the end of the metal corridor.
Amid Isa's curious exclamation, Chen Fan subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where the robot disappeared: "That is…"
"Shipborne robots." Yi quickly gave an answer, "In order to ensure the normal operation of the starship, a large number of robots for different purposes are equipped inside the starship."
"Under normal circumstances, the daily maintenance and repair work of the starship is basically completed autonomously by the starship main brain controlling the robot."
Before Chen Fan could speak, Isa's exclamation came from the side.
Since entering the starship, Isa has been like Granny Liu who strayed into the Grand View Garden. Any detail can attract her attention and admiration.
Compared with Isa, Gao Yuan's emotions are obviously more restrained.
He had a somewhat honest smile on his face, and was standing at the door of the starship's cockpit, at a loss.
"Gao Yuan, come here."
Chen Fan raised his hand and called out, while pointing to the co-pilot seat to the left of the main driver's seat.
"Here, get familiar with it, this will be your seat from now on."
Gao Yuan showed a simple and honest smile on his face, and then carefully sat in the co-pilot seat: "Thank you, thank you Brother Fan..."
Unlike Gao Yuan, Isa, who was more flexible in character, had already sat in the co-pilot seat to the right of the main driver's seat. At this time, she was looking at the various signs on the main console and the scenery outside the porthole with curiosity.
A silver-white humanoid robot floated from the end of the corridor and finally stopped in front of Chen Fan.
It raised its right mechanical arm and handed the two silver-white devices that looked like watches to Chen Fan.
"Secondary smart terminal." Yi explained, "A special model for investigator assistants. Compared with your smart terminal, the permissions and functions of the secondary smart terminal are subject to certain restrictions."
Chen Fan nodded, and after giving the two watches to Isa and Gao Yuan, he took a few steps forward and sat in his own main driving seat.
"The starship mainframe has an assisted driving function. Under normal circumstances, starship driving operations are not complicated."
Looking at the familiar icons that were quickly simplified on the main console and control panel, Chen Fan nodded silently.
As Yi said, this thing is basically pure automatic.
Except for issuing some key instructions such as take-off, landing and changing routes, Chen Fan basically doesn't have to worry about all the detailed operations.
Isa's voice came from the rear right: "What if the starship's main brain malfunctions?"
"In theory, when the starship's main brain malfunctions, the starship is only half a step away from crashing."
Having said that, Yi still gave a backup plan: "The investigator's smart terminal is equipped with a universal starship control module. In an emergency, this machine can temporarily replace the work of the starship's main brain."
"State in advance."
"This machine is not a professional shipborne host, and it is certainly not as good as the starship's main brain in terms of the refined control of the starship."
Chen Fan suddenly realized, and he looked at the smart terminal on his right hand with a weird look: "In other words, are you a half-baked?"
Yi was directly silenced by Chen Fan's words.
After waiting for a while, the electronic synthesized voice with a bit of anger and shame sounded again: "What half-baked... all-rounder! This machine is an all-rounder level I artificial intelligence!"
"The functions of this machine are much richer than that starship main brain!"
"That thing's skill points are all in starship control, and its intelligence is far less than this machine."
"Don't believe it? Then let the starship main brain chat with you and try?"
Chen Fan laughed and gave a simple evaluation of Yi's jumping behavior: "Anxious."
Yi: "..." "
The warning information from the detection drone of Varela City has been sent."
Yi changed the subject very abruptly: "The intelligent machine has begun to attack Varela City."
As soon as the voice fell, the holographic projection screen above the starship main console changed rapidly, and the shooting screen from the drone quickly appeared in front of Chen Fan.
Unlike the previous small projection, the quality of the holographic projection in the starship cockpit is obviously a level higher.
The gap between the two... a simple analogy is equivalent to the difference between the screen of a regular mobile phone and a 100-inch 8k TV.
Looking at the wave of intelligent machines rushing towards the Wall of Sighs, Chen Fan's face suddenly became solemn.
"This holographic projection..."
Under the gaze of the two people and one machine, Chen Fan asked in a deep voice: "Do you also have the CarPlay function?"
One: "......?"
God damn CarPlay!
Is it time to pay attention to this function now? !
"Ahem... Just kidding."
Feeling the two gazes coming from behind, Chen Fan raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and directly reached out and pressed the holographic button on the main console.
"Starship, set sail!"
