At that moment, a platform moved over.
Zhizi's voice came from above: "Master, welcome to the Dragon Palace Base."
"Take me to see the captured nuclear submarine first," Ye Chen said, stepping onto the mobile platform, with Su Yingrong following closely behind.
The platform moved rapidly along the laid tracks, arriving in another space in less than a minute, where the captured nuclear submarine, the Kanglie, was docked.
The 170-meter-long Kanglie has now had all its special steel covering removed, exposing its internal skeleton.
A dozen or so robots were working around it, modifying it.
"Master, as per your request, this submarine should be ready for conversion in about a month."
"In addition, some top-secret technologies for nuclear submarines are being developed and will be available soon."
Tomoko's voice rang out from the side.
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. Researching technology from scratch is very time-consuming, but working backward from physical objects is much easier, especially for artificial intelligence like Zhizi.
While they were talking, the technology on several nuclear submarines had already been simulated.
With the complete technology and the physical objects, Ye Chen's knowledge of the Mousse civilization was unlocked in an instant.
The technological knowledge unlocked this time is mainly focused on military applications, since the equipment on nuclear submarines is primarily for military use!
Miniaturization of nuclear power plants, high-strength special steel, supercavitating torpedo technology...
After browsing through these unlocked technologies, Ye Chen turned his attention to the miniaturization technology of nuclear power plants!
"It seems that the manufacturing of miniaturized nuclear fusion devices can be put on the agenda!" Ye Chen was a little excited and couldn't wait to start the research on miniaturization of nuclear fusion devices.
For interstellar exploration, a device powered by nuclear fusion is the most basic requirement.
With the miniaturization of nuclear fusion, Ye Chen's interstellar exploration goals are beginning to take shape.
After temporarily suppressing his excitement, Ye Chen didn't forget his other mission: to recruit the crew members.
He looked around and asked, "What about the captured crew members?"
Zhizi said, "He is imprisoned in another space."
"Make arrangements to prepare to alter their memories!"
"Yes, Master."
......
In a sealed space within the Dragon Palace base.
After James and the others woke up, they stayed inside, and all the metal objects on their bodies were removed.
There was no way to tell day from night here. James calculated the intervals between meal deliveries and roughly estimated that he had been detained for more than 7 days.
But so far, they haven't even figured out who captured them, let alone that they are in the deep ocean.
In the past few days, all he has seen are some food delivery robots. Although he has repeatedly asked to see the people who captured them, there has been no response.
That day, right after they finished eating, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in the room: "James, come out, someone wants to see you."
Then, the door on the wall of the room opened automatically.
James perked up, more pleased than surprised. Finally, someone was going to negotiate with him. No matter the outcome, it was better than being locked up here forever!
He walked out of the open door and followed a passage into a room.
The room was empty except for a chair in the middle with a helmet on it.
"Put on your helmet and sit in the seat," the mechanical voice commanded.
Knowing that resistance would be futile, James obediently picked up the helmet, put it on, and then sat down in the chair.
The moment he sat down, two metal bars extended from the seat and firmly handcuffed James's arms.
James tried to struggle for a moment, but found he couldn't break free at all, so he quieted down and said, "Now you can come in."
Since we're already here, let's make the best of it!
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man also wearing a helmet and a woman with mixed-race features walked in.
James narrowed his eyes and asked uncertainly, "Chinese? Japanese or someone from another country?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, did not answer him, but nodded to Su Yingrong instead.
Su Yingrong understood, took out a sub-device of a brain-computer interface from her bag, came behind James, and pressed it against the top of his head. The sub-device instantly entered his scalp.
"What are you doing!" James felt a bad premonition and shouted hurriedly.
However, he soon felt his eyelids become heavy and his consciousness began to blur.
Images kept flashing through my mind, but I couldn't see them clearly even if I looked closely. I just vaguely remembered bowing to a handsome young man.
Three days later.
With the last crew member's memory successfully altered, Ye Chen removed his helmet, his face somewhat pale.
For three consecutive days, the memories of 124 people were affected. Even though Ye Chen's energy far exceeded that of ordinary people, he was exhausted at this point.
Of course, it's impossible to completely alter these people's memories in one go; it's more like planting a seed.
The process requires repeated hypnosis to reinforce the memory until it becomes a part of the person's own identity.
"Su Zi, I'm leaving the rest of the operations to you. I can't stay here forever." Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his complexion improving slightly.
After Su Yingrong's memories were successfully altered, Ye Chen gave her the name Su Zi.
"Yes, Master," Su Zi replied respectfully from the side.
She then looked at Ye Chen with concern and said, "Master, you are mentally exhausted and need to rest and recover."
Ye Chen nodded. His head was spinning and he really needed to recover.
With Su Zi's help, Ye Chen arrived at the makeshift bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.
When Ye Chen woke up, he opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and felt much clearer-headed, with most of his mental energy restored.
At this moment, Su Zi came in upon hearing the noise, holding Ye Chen's clothes in her hand, and asked in a sweet voice, "Master, how are you recovering?"
"I've almost fully recovered. How long did I sleep?" Ye Chen asked.
Su Zi replied, "Eight hours have passed."
"Oh, it's been so long. Get ready, I'll head back now," Ye Chen said casually, rolling out of bed, his perfect physique fully exposed without any concern.
Su Zi's breathing quickened as she stared at Ye Chen with wide, almost tearful eyes. She came to his side and asked, "Master, are you leaving now?"
"Yes, we got a lot of good stuff from the nuclear submarine. I need to get back and study it as soon as possible... um..."
Ye Chen was interrupted by Su Zi's actions before he could finish speaking.
"Master, you want me..."
"You little vixen, how dare you launch a sneak attack on a strategic location! See how I punish you!"
"Please punish me, Master!"
