Chapter 222: Restarting Koroa
"Thank you first," Yun Mo said casually as she sat down at the table naturally.
She had told Lian Yi that she wanted a reward, but the one who was willing to pay now was obviously of a higher rank.
Nie Yuning looked into her eyes with a kind attitude, and Yun Mo also looked back at him with a smile. His eyes were dark and clear, but there was a flash of almost invisible heaviness in his eyes, perhaps hiding a lot of things.
However, Yun Mo's thanks made it difficult for Nie Yuning to say the second half of his sentence.
"Aren't you going to ask me what my conditions are?" Nie Yuning opened the drawer and took out a thick folder.
"Is it a request that does not violate morality and is within your rights?" Yun Mo's words went on so smoothly that the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Nie Yunning was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled, "The little girl is too worried."
"Really? This seems to be the second time you have said this to me," Yun Mo said after taking a sip of tea.
Nie Yunning laughed, remembering their afternoon conversation at the Martyrs' Cemetery. Yun Mo's temper was exactly what he wanted; no one had dared to speak to him like that in years.
Even Lian Yi and his children showed him respect and concern mostly. The only one who could make him smile from the bottom of his heart was probably this girl.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Nie Yuning smoothed the documents on the table and asked while looking at them.
"What if I want to contact Blue Star?" Yun Mo lowered his head and looked at the intelligent computer on his wrist.
Contact Lan Xing to find out their recent situation. At the same time, secretly, she wanted to see the old man...
Now, no one was deliberately directing negative public opinion toward Blue Star, and the entire interstellar network seemed incredibly harmonious, but Blue Star still couldn't communicate with the outside world. It was now a planet left to fend for itself, light-years away, unreachable.
Nie Yuning didn't look surprised, perhaps he had thought of it a long time ago.
"I'm sorry, I don't have the authority." Nie Yunning said with his eyes lowered, and the white hair at his temples seemed to show a bit of helplessness.
Yun Mo smiled silently, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.
As expected... Even though I had expected it, I still held out hope if I didn't ask directly.
"Unless you can restart the Koroa battleship."
Nie Yunning pushed the document in front of Yunmo, knocked on the table, and motioned her to take a look first.
Yun Mo flipped it open casually, "What is this?"
Nie Yunning pressed a button on the table, and a beam of light was projected onto the wall. Countless crisscrossing network cables were transmitted and refracted along the planet, and finally converged on a battleship.
The pitch-black battleship looked almost identical to the document in her hand.
Nie Yuning didn't wait for her to ask further. He stood up and looked at the wall, his voice full of memories.
"The Koroa battleship was a warship that intruded into the Star Alliance over two hundred years ago. It carried countless 5S fighters. We've always wanted to know what happened to them, and what the Star Alliance is really like..."
"When the jump point was destroyed, the Koroa battleship's AI shut it down as well. We've tried for countless years to restart it, but haven't been able to."
"What do you mean? If it is restarted, we can contact Blue Star as a condition?" Yun Mo raised his head and asked very seriously.
"No," Nie Yunning shook his head. "The affairs of Blue Star have been decided through layers of decision-making and cannot be changed at will."
Yun Mo lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "So, this is a disguised rejection?"
Nie Yuning snorted lightly, feeling that talking to this girl was really energy-saving. It seemed that she could understand as long as she said half of it. However, she was wrong this time.
He shook his head. "Don't you want to know? What does the restart of the Koroa battleship have to do with your request?"
"Please speak," Yun Mo sat there, slightly absent-minded, confused by her concern.
Nie Yunning patiently explained, "The Koroa battleship has a two-hundred-year-old communication system. Although it's no longer in use due to speed and signal quality issues, the Galactic Empire still has a large number of repeaters, which are just dormant."
"I see," Yun Mo's eyes lit up. "In other words, if the Koroa battleship is restarted, as a subsidiary, we can use that obsolete system..."
Nie Yuning raised his index finger and made a gesture of silence, "We are talking about the Koroa battleship."
Old fox...
Yun Mo's heart was filled with smiles and she was in a good mood. It seemed that she had gained half an ally.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Do you know why the Federation, with so many talented people over the years, has not been able to restart the Koloa battleship?" Nie Yuning turned around, turned off the projection, and looked back at her.
Yun Mo remained silent. She knew very well that anything that could break the Federation's information blockade on Blue Star would not be easy to obtain.
But it doesn't matter. This news is far beyond her expectations. As long as there is hope, there is a possibility of realization.
Nie Yunning didn't keep the suspense and continued to explain, "The Koloa battleship only has backup systems left. The Federation has made necessary repairs to the mechanical parts, but the core components are too tightly integrated to be replaced. The fatigue of metal and composite materials means that the Koloa battleship can't withstand too many restart attempts."
"The reason for the previous failure was mainly due to insufficient synchronization between the experimenters, and their brains were unable to support the simultaneous control of complex systems..."
Yun Mo understood, "So, whoever wants to restart it must meet certain conditions, right?"
Nie Yunning nodded with satisfaction. This kid was very insightful. "The Koroa battleship is too important. After years of experimentation, we have to set a rule. Each admiral has one chance per year to nominate a talent to try to restart it..."
"So far, the one who came close to success was Lian Yi, but he only managed a 93% synchronization rate at best. Furthermore, the Koroa battleship had self-protection features. Initially, it was intended to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Covenant, but it has become a cage that restricts us. A person's DNA can only be used once."
Yun Mo nodded in understanding. She had come into contact with the Covenant before, and even when severely injured, their mental strength was incredibly high. To prevent the warship from falling into the hands of the Covenant, it was natural for them to set up a restart protection mechanism.
After all, they may underestimate the enemy and not take it seriously the first time. If they are given a second chance, they will most likely be able to decipher it. At that time, using their own weapons to attack their own shields will be a situation that the human race does not want to see.
"So, you are going to give me this opportunity?" Yun Mo smiled gratefully.
"The screening for restarters will be launched every year, and I will add your name..." There is no need to say the rest, Yun Mo understood it all.
In the living room, Lian Yi felt very uncomfortable.
Ever since Madam Nie learned that Admiral Nie had fully recovered, she finally released the passion that had been suppressed for who knows how many days, almost wanting to unleash her long-held primordial power on the young man before her...
"Lian Yi, come, sit here..."
"Lian Yi, are you going back to Planet 186 soon? It's not easy to make friends there..."
"Lian Yi, I haven't been able to take care of you lately. You're already quite grown up. Someone introduced me to a nice girl a while ago..."
"Lian Yi, you've met Linda, huh? Her father is in the 72nd Army. She's currently working at a mecha research institute, which is a very suitable career for her..."
