Chapter 207
The core area where the central control console is located covers an area of about five kilometers, but except for the control console in the front, the other blocked and protected areas are all the most core units in the residential area.
If the current person in charge of the West Ring Star Belt could come here, he would find that this place is very similar to where he works.
The only difference is that there are still signs of the Tianjia civilization here, while the signs in the central control area on the surface were erased long ago... along with those that were originally there in various places in the Western Ring Star Belt.
However, in terms of the importance of the two, this place far exceeds the central control room in the open.
If this place is destroyed, the entire residential area will face doomsday, and the scene that will occur at that time is unimaginable for those who don't know the inside story.
Lu Ze stepped onto the stairs, and after walking up a few steps, he stood in front of the control console.
Because the central control system on the surface is operating normally, the backup console here remains in dormant mode before being awakened.
In addition, he entered normally and did not activate the defense system and alarm, so the forced awakening program was not triggered.
Lu Ze pressed a trigger button on the console to wake it up from sleep mode.
[The core central nervous system awakening procedure of the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone] is being executed.]
[Verifying operator identity...No data in the database...Please enter your identity key for verification.]
[No input within one minute will be considered a verification failure and will be classified as an invasion by hostile forces.]
The awakened console program spoke in a straightforward manner.
Lu Ze had already started typing when the system on the console started talking.
[Detected the highest authority key...]
[Key verification completed, key authority level: unique.]
[Connection verification in progress... Network unresponsive... Searching for the QW system...]
【Search failed, no QW system signal detected.】
Lu Ze raised his hand, and the simulated skin on one end of his finger faded away in the blink of an eye, revealing metal at the end. It was a signal adapter.
He inserted the signal adapter into the round hole on the console.
[QW system signal detected... Identity verification successful.]
[The current operator's authority level has been upgraded to level one, the highest authority currently granted by the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone].]
The screens on the console lit up one after another, countless programs were launched, projecting several large screens, and data streams flashed by at a dazzling speed.
[The Tianjia Civilization's 'Zhi Ge' subordinate intelligent system [Xuan Huang] has been successfully awakened.]
The data stream on the screen disappeared and turned into falling stars.
Under the convergence of starlight, a long silver dragon appeared.
This is the exclusive AI image of the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone], which will only appear after the highest authority is activated.
Its appearance is exactly the same as the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone] it is responsible for. It has a silver-white body, light golden vertical pupils, and a body that sways when it swims, making it look like a real creature, not a virtual creature.
[General Lu Ze, the current highest authority in the base, [Xuan Huang] sends his greetings to you.]
[Xuan Huang] calls him according to the program settings.
When the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Area] was being built, its purpose was taken into consideration and it was not directly classified as related to civilian life or military affairs.
But after Lu Ze obtained the highest authority during wartime and took over, the attributes of [Xuanhuang] officially changed from civilian to military base, and at the same time, all wartime military-related weapons and equipment were unlocked.
Since it is a military base, it is natural to call them by their military ranks - the highest rank of authority in the Xuanhuang base is general.
"You've been dormant for too long. Check yourself first."
After ten thousand years, the current residential area of the ring world is different from that in the [Xuanhuang] database.
[Connecting to [Mirror Xuanhuang], system self-check expected to complete within twelve star hours.]
Lu Ze said: "For so many years, they haven't noticed your existence at all."
【No. 】
[Xuan Huang] knew that he was of the same kind, and even though it was only a brief connection, he could sense that the other party's intelligence was higher than his own.
However, AI only recognizes permissions, and even if [Xuan Huang] knows it, he will not react.
[This is the first time I've been awakened since I last went into hibernation.]
[Xuan Huang] didn't expect that he would be in hibernation for ten thousand years, even though the passage of time would not be felt much by AI.
However, when connecting to his own mirror system, the new data and information obtained were very different from his old data, which caused the running program of [Xuanhuang] to freeze for a few tenths of a second.
This is almost equivalent to shock for humanity.
Lu Ze sat in front of the console and operated it.
Since [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone] is a military base, it certainly has dedicated military garrisons and military star ports, as well as the regular military weapons of the Tianjia civilization back then.
However, these were all standing forces. When the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Area] changed hands, the facilities, buildings and weapons were taken over without being hidden.
Over the course of tens of thousands of years, even the weapons left behind by the sixth-level civilization have been worn out and scrapped through repeated use.
There aren't many left nowadays.
Lu Ze checked everything.
This is easier than hacking into the military network of the Western Ring Star Belt by himself. After all, the military network of the Western Ring Star Belt is directly built on the body of [Xuanhuang].
When he used [Xuan Huang] to check, it was like returning to his own home.
"Planetary-level defensive weapons..." These weapons have not been used very often, and have only been used a handful of times in the past ten thousand years.
——No one who is not in his right mind dares to touch the taboo of Tai Sui.
In the West Ring Star Belt trading area within the White Tower Star Region, actual control has been shifting back and forth among several Level 6 civilizations over the years.
What's the difference between coming here to cause trouble and seeking death?
"The two neutron battle stars are still safely in their original positions."
After Lu Ze confirmed the situation of the central battle planet, he was completely relieved.
Although I knew that nothing would happen when I came here, there was still a possibility of an accident before it was confirmed.
The most dangerous things in the entire [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone] are these two neutron battle stars. Pulling any one of them out can affect communication signals over several light years.
If one missile reaches the front line, it can directly force the opponent to retreat and win without a fight.
The manufacturing method of neutron battle stars is not difficult, but how to safely control them is difficult. When they were manufactured and placed here, they were also thought to be a deterrent after being exposed.
With them around, no civilization or force dares to be so blind as to provoke them.
It’s a pity that the incident happened suddenly. Firstly, the neutron battle stars have never been publicly unveiled since they were created, and secondly, there is no authority to drive them.
Otherwise, with only these two neutron battle stars, even if we cannot turn defeat into victory, we can at least retreat to a corner and slowly plan for the future.
Lu Ze gave the order: "Later, I will arrange for a group of Zerg to enter the starship docking platform in sector six. The underground level there is now planned as a storage area."
"I just checked, and there are two shelters in Sector 6 that have not been opened, suitable for accommodating them."
"Dedicate some of your computing power to Sector 6. Don't let anyone discover their whereabouts..."
Lu Ze's level is higher than [Xuan Huang], so it is not impossible for him to do these things, but the [Xuan Huang Ring World Residential Zone] is [Xuan Huang]'s territory, so it is more convenient for him to do these things.
This is also one of the reasons why he awakened [Xuan Huang].
With [Xuanhuang] here, the entire western ring star belt is no different from a back garden.
Every surveillance camera in the West Ring Star Belt, every AI and smart machine serving the residents, are the eyes of [Xuan Huang].
【yes. 】
After receiving the plan from Lu Ze, [Xuan Huang] immediately took action.
In addition to guiding the Zerg Youngsters into the shelter without being noticed by anyone, this "Zerg Youngster Placement Plan" also involves purchasing all the necessary supplies and sending them to the shelter.
The shelter was built ten thousand years ago. Even though the supplies inside are well sealed, some of them will "expired".
Also, the conditions of these cubs are not very good and they need medical equipment and simulated robots with medical knowledge to treat them.
In addition to these, establishing identity information is also necessary.
Registration of name, age, and appearance is the most basic. More detailed information includes fingerprints, irises, DNA extraction, etc., which are not something that the female insects from Tianyun Star can do.
Lu Ze was aware of this, and he directly arranged in his plan to purchase a batch of robots with relevant programs.
As for the female insects who are assigned to take care of the young insects, they only need to serve as guardians.
Lu Ze even considered using simulated robots to take care of them all, but considering the age of the cubs and the arrangements for the female insects, he finally gave up the idea.
We don't need so many female insects for the time being, so having them take care of the young insects will come in handy.
When the manpower is really insufficient, there will still be time to transfer more people from here.
***
Beyond a galaxy far, far away.
Passing through the Lost Star Zone, on the Tianyun Star deep in the sea of stars.
Qi Heng is trying to repair the chaotic magnetic field on Tianyun Star. The chaotic magnetic field makes the surface environment of Tianyun Star harsh and network coverage difficult.
The former made life very difficult for the Zerg, while the latter prevented the implementation of many of his plans.
After several discussions with A0, it is still difficult to repair the magnetic field on the entire Tianyun Star - it is not impossible, but there are more important things to do.
With the current level of technology on Tianyun Star, if one wants to repair the planet's magnetic field without relying on the system, all the energy consumed will be from the system.
It is not easy for the system to accumulate energy, so of course we should consume less if we can.
In the end, Qi Heng decided to only repair the two areas where the Zerg currently live. These two areas together only occupy a large part of Tianyun Star. As for the other areas, blue-tailed butterflies will still be used to transmit information.
Prior to this, he had created a low-profile version of the QW system (Star Ocean Supervisor), the QW-1 system module, which enabled network communication services between two residential areas.
However, due to the influence of the abnormal magnetic field on Tianyun Star, the built-in chips of these communication modules need to be replaced every once in a while, and the communicators and optical computers he manufactured for networking also have certain hardware requirements.
For short-term, small-scale use, there is a system in place and no supply issues.
But if this number is upgraded to one million, it will put a burden on the system's energy storage.
The low-spec optical computers Lu Ze had purchased as essentials were to be distributed en masse to the Zerg. If the magnetic field issue wasn't resolved before planting, the computers would likely explode from chip overload the moment they were distributed.
About ten thousand meters above the ground.
Inside the aircraft, Qi Heng looked at the image displayed on the screen, where semicircular cones with a diameter of three meters were suspended.
Looking from afar, there are countless large and small figures appearing in this area, and the distance between each one is very far.
Qi Heng raised his hand and slid and zoomed on the screen.
The surface of the enlarged single cone is smooth. After it is activated, the metal feathers extending from both sides open and turn into a light golden red.
Golden-red lines representing energy pulse beams shot out in all directions, and finally intertwined and linked with the beams emitted by another cone, weaving a large net in the sky in an instant.
Only when the screen is zoomed out to the extreme can you see clearly that this network just covers the residential area and the mining area.
And underground in this area, an underground city is under construction.
Forcibly reverse the magnetic field in this area to restore it to normal.
[…Magnetic field correction completed.]
[Your Excellency, Lu Ze requests authorization.]
"Let's do as we agreed."
It has only been a few days since I last communicated with Lu Ze. Calculating the time, given Lu Ze's ability to act, it's time.
Thinking of the scene of the Western Ring Star Belt and the situation of the Tianjia Zerg in the outside world that Lu Ze had broadcast last time, Qi Heng felt a little uncomfortable.
[Detected that the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone] master control system [Xuanhuang] has requested a verification key, confirming the opening of the highest authority for the [Xuanhuang Ring World Residential Zone]. Authorized person: Lu Ze.]
[Authorized by: The ruler of Tianjia civilization.]
[The highest authority of Tianjia civilization is being activated. This authority level is: unique.]
Authorization completed. [Xuan Huang] has approved Lu Ze's request for permission. From now on, the [Xuan Huang Ring World Residential Zone] will enter a state of combat readiness. Lu Ze, the holder of the highest authority, will be appointed as the supreme commander of the [Xuan Huang] base, and his rank will be changed to 'General'.
[This appointment was directly signed by His Excellency the Lord and has been uploaded to the A2 Intelligent Brain 'Zhi Ge' for record.]
"Did Lu Ze send back any new news?"
A0: [There are new discoveries regarding the trade of the Tianjia Zerg, but the investigation has not yet been completed. Lu Ze said that a detailed report will be issued later.]
"New discovery?"
"Did you say anything about it?"
[It is mentioned that it is related to adult Zerg that have completed their first evolution.]
The Zerg that were transported away from Tianyun Star were all cubs, but Lu Ze said that it was related to the adult Zerg. That is, in addition to the trafficking of underage Zerg, adult Zerg were also deeply involved.
There is no such thing on Tianyun Star, it can only be other planets in the Lost Star Zone.
Qi Heng said in an ambiguous tone, "They are not afraid of anything happening."
The Zerg cubs are no match for the adult Zerg that have completed their first evolution. The latter are the main force that made the Tianjia civilization famous, and are no less capable than the original Zerg that will eat everything.
"After Ji Lin returns and settles the Zerg on Tianyun Star, it's time to visit other planets."
"The Zerg bio-armor must be completed before Ji Lin returns. How is Qi Lan's progress?"
[Three-fifths of the swarm's production has been completed. The swarms produced are currently undergoing targeted transformation. Based on the current progress, it will definitely be completed on schedule.]
"What about Deep Blue's repair?"
[The repair progress is faster than expected, and it will be fully repaired in another month. ]
The Deep Blue, equipped with a space jump engine, has the ability to directly jump through space. Once the repair is completed, it means that Qi Heng can leave Tianyun Star at any time.
Coming to this world, it would be a lie to say that you are not interested in the outside world.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't leave Tianyun Star at the beginning, and later discovered that the situation on Tianyun Star was too miserable, the current living conditions of the Tianjia Zerg were too outrageous.
Qi Heng would not have the patience to stay on Tianyun Star for that long.
However, judging from the current situation, even if the Deep Blue is successfully repaired, it will be impossible for him to really give up everything on Tianyun Star and wander outside the Lost Star Zone in a short period of time.
At most, he would leave Tianyun Star for a while to investigate the situation of other planets in the Lost Star Zone where the Tianjia Zerg were still imprisoned.
We must save them all. We can't just pretend they don't exist if we don't see them.
He felt a little guilty.
Qi Heng piloted the aircraft to a low altitude and flew towards a target.
It’s getting late. Now that I’ve finished my work, it’s time to go home and have dinner.
Otherwise, some sticky person who has been reincarnated will pout and accuse him of not keeping his word.
And the silver-haired female insect, who, though she didn't say it, clearly sided with the insect cub, showed disapproval in her eyes.
It's just working overtime occasionally, there's really no need to accuse yourself of not taking your health seriously.
It is obvious that Chu Xiu is an even more exaggerated workaholic than himself. It is common for him to be busy day and night. Sometimes he can't stand it and has to force him to rest.
Seeing Chu Xiu like this, he couldn't help but doubt himself. Is he really the kind of unscrupulous and black-hearted boss who exploits his subordinates?
Qi Heng sighed helplessly in his heart. Forget it, at least they were eating together now, so he didn't have to worry about Chu Xiu fainting from hunger at work.
