Who still falls in love in the interstellar era?

Chapter 180 The New Jackdaw (two chapters in one)

This side of the Jackdaw.

Nimiao very conscientiously showed Wang Chao the surveillance footage from the space station command center.

When Wang Chao heard Gaius say, "This is the cornerstone of conquering the galaxy," Wang Chao almost spit out the water in his mouth. Fortunately, the prosthetic man had stronger control over various parts of the body and was able to control it directly.

He put down the water glass, wiped the water leaking from the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "I am no longer interested in my orders being misinterpreted and diffused."

Helena: "This is quite common in communication science, but generally speaking, to deviate so much from the original intention, it has to go through multiple channels of communication. This time, the first communication was distorted, mainly because Gaius was crazy."

Liefeng: "Can you diagnose him and save him?"

Helena shook her head: "Whatever I do now will only aggravate his symptoms. He trusts me a little... a little too much. This trust is in quotation marks."

Wang Chao: "Never mind, let's get the boat as soon as possible and then run it."

Nia: "I found out through public channels that there is a scientific research ship parked in the shipyard. Because of troubles such as the war and the removal of AI, it has been parked in the port without anyone taking care of it. Now no one cares about it. "

Wang Chao: "What kind of old scientific research ship?"

Nia directly sent the three-dimensional graphics of the old scientific research ship to the home screen, and also sent a copy to everyone through the on-board network—it should be said that everyone except Lily sent a copy.

Liefeng was the first to comment: "They are all scientific research ships, why is this one so much bigger than us?"

Wang Chao: "Because this scientific research ship cannot land on the surface of the planet. Our small ship can land."

Nia: "In fact, our ship can be used as a login device and hung under the belly of the big ship. In this way, we can land on the planet to mine and smelt, get materials to transform the hull, and make the hull into a model that others cannot recognize."

Nimiao: "Why build such a big ship? We only have so many people in total."

Nia: "There is a fully equipped laboratory on that ship, and we can continue to study the Tao. There are also electron microscopes and other necessary things for studying microscopic particles. Recruiting another expert in nanomachines will definitely greatly increase our understanding of the Tao." understanding of the Tao.”

"No, no," Nimiao waved her hand, "We can't just pull people on board. Just because you two haven't leaked the secret yet, it doesn't mean that the people you pull later won't leak the secret. Hasn't the improved gravity engine been built? We Take it with you and leave quickly."

Wang Chao: "Okay, let them send it over. Nimiao contact Gaius."

Nimiao immediately connected to Gaius. At this time, Lily suddenly said: "This Gaius, doesn't he think that Helena has put a clone in his place? We always give orders through contact like this, he won't think Is it weird?"

Ni Meow: "We are communicating. It will be more troublesome for Gaius to hear your words."

Lily smiled: "You must have intercepted them all, so it's okay."

Nimiao sighed and lay down on the table: "Although I did not send the real situation in the cabin, I am a little unhappy to be manipulated by you like this."

Judging from Nimiao's expression, she was quite unhappy.

But Lily smiled happily and continued to ask Helena: "So will something happen to this?"

Helena: "No, you have also seen the speech Gaius gave just now, right? It was probably his hallucination that told him. It was actually the content of his own thoughts, but now it has become 'Julian' What he said has become the edict of Organization X. To be honest, I quite want to take a closer look at Gaius as an individual.

"It's possible that he will greatly advance my understanding of paranoia, and maybe it will advance the field of human psychology a lot further."

Liefeng: "I understand, you two scientists both want to write papers to earn fame!"

Helena: "I don't deny that I have this idea, but isn't it a bit rude of you to comment on Nia like this?"

Nia was shocked: "Huh? What's the matter with me?"

Helena: "Husky just said that you are a person who seeks fame and reputation. But I know that you mainly want to satisfy your curiosity."

Nia looked at the ceiling: "To say that there is no idea of ​​seeking fame and reputation at all, it must be false, so what Miss Gale Feng said is not wrong."

"Miss Lifeng~" Liefeng smiled happily, "I am also called Miss. I kind of like little sister Nia."

"Eh? Little sister?" Nia blinked, "Ah, it's because I look like a child."

Ni Meow: "Hey, Gaius is still waiting. Say what you want to say quickly."

Wang Chao then cleared his throat: "Dictator Gaius, we are very happy that you have completed the gravity engine we requested according to the design drawings and conducted tests. Now please send over the second product off the production line. installed at……"

Gaius interrupted Wang Chao: "Your Majesty the lifelong Archon, we still strongly urge you to replace it with a new spaceship. Your spaceship already has two reactors and two gravity engines. Install a third engine. This will cause the entire cooling architecture to collapse.

"Although the Greyhound class is famous for its great potential for modification, it is obvious that your ship has reached the upper limit of modification. In fact, during your absence, we have completed the design of your ship."

As he spoke, a spaceship design was sent through encrypted communication.

Wang Chao spent a millisecond browsing the entire design drawing and discovered that it was an enhanced version of the Greyhound class. It basically had all the functions of the Greyhound class, including the ability to land on planets.

Nia shook her head after reading the design: "I still prefer the large scientific research ship that is vacant now, which has more laboratories. With Gaius's design, if we want to test our superpowers, we have to continue in the warehouse. Set up a testing ground.”

Liefeng slapped his chest: "As the lord of the warehouse, I give you permission to set up an experimental field in the warehouse!"

Nia: "But the research ship must be better!"

Helena: "Okay, no matter what, make a decision quickly."

Wang Chao said to Gaius: "We found that there is a scientific research ship in the Apollodorus shipyard that is currently unused. We hope to modify that ship."

Nia raised her hands and cheered: "Yeah!"

Gaius obviously didn't know there was such a ship, and his movements paused briefly, apparently checking the information.

Half a second later, he smiled and said: "No problem, we will start modifying the ship immediately, and it should be completed soon."

Wang Chao: "Also, let me remind you, don't dismantle the automation system on the ship! We are not exclusive of the use of automated systems."

Rather, it is the United Star Cluster's obviously overcorrecting approach that is problematic. They have dismantled everything related to artificial intelligence and stopped automating it.

"Don't worry. Our ship engineer has given the answer, and the transformation will be completed in 24 hours."

Wang Chao raised his eyebrows. The world's productivity was so excessive that it was amazing.

"Then we'll wait for the good news." After saying this, Wang Chao turned off the communication.

Nia: "Are we going to continue testing our superpowers during these 24 hours?"

Wang Chao: "No, don't worry. Although we think leaking the secret will happen sooner or later, we should restrain ourselves before deceiving a new ship."

Nia looked quite disappointed, her shoulders slumped.

**

After 24 hours.

Wang Chao, accompanied by Gaius, visited the improved "Jackdaw".

The new ship is based on the idle scientific research ship discovered by Niya. From the appearance, the biggest improvement is the addition of a long bridge cabin on the back of the scientific research ship.

Wang Chao frowned when he saw the bridge cabin: "Isn't this the bridge you were talking about at the beginning? Didn't we say we don't want it?"

Gaius: "But Julian told me that you actually like this bridge cabin."

Wang Chao was shocked. How could this "Ulian" distort his "will"? He glanced at Helena, who said to Gaius: "Mr. Dictator..."

"I am now the 'acting officer'." Gaius said respectfully, "I have changed the laws of the United Star Cluster in accordance with your wishes, and I, the acting representative, Mr. Honorary Lifetime Consul, will manage the entire United Star Cluster."

Good guy, Helena said that the so-called "Julian" is actually Gaius's inner thoughts. This guy has long wanted to dominate the entire United Star Cluster, but now he has a different way of realizing it.

It is estimated that he wanted to be the emperor of space Rome before, but now this goal has been achieved - it's just that he has an extra "overlord" who doesn't care much.

Helena seemed to be more interested in Gaius's "case": "Mr. Agent, every time we come to Caesar Star in the United Star Cluster, we will ask you to come to my clinic for three hours of treatment."

Helena obviously wanted to study Gaius, but he misunderstood directly: "Do you need to strengthen your control over me? Understand. Although I think Julian has done a good job, I will never go against your wishes. "

Did Julian do a good job? He did too much!

Helena: "Anyway, every time we go to Caesar Star in the future, you are right to come. Oh, we are at Caesar Star now. I hope you can squeeze in three hours from now on?"

Gaius: "No problem! But now let me show you the new ship first?" Wang Chao made a gesture of invitation.

So the group got on the boat under the guidance of Gaius.

Gaius: "The basis of the new Jackdaw is the former scientific research ship of the United Star Cluster. Generally, this kind of ship is used to carry out interstellar exploration missions every five years, so complete living and entertainment facilities are set up on the ship, which can guarantee two thousand The life and entertainment of a famous seaman..."

Wang Chao couldn't help but look at Nia, it was Nia who insisted on this boat. A ship that can accommodate 2,000 people only accommodates six people. Aren't you afraid that there will be too many vacant corridors and beds that could be haunted?

Nia obviously didn't care about this, she asked: "Have you retained all the scientific research facilities on the spacecraft?"

"We have preserved it," Gaius said hurriedly. "Not only have we preserved the scientific research facilities, we have also preserved the psychology clinic that Professor Helena can use. As well as the lecture theaters where professors usually teach students."

Wang Chao: "So complete?"

"Yes, this ship was originally designed to allow professors to take their students on space science expeditions."

Nia was stunned: "But I applied so many times, but I never got a chance to get on the ship!"

Helena: "There is a hidden reason why your application was not approved, dear Miss Nia. By the way, Agent Gaius, since there is a psychology clinic on this ship, could you please guide me later? Let’s conduct a psychological consultation by the way.”

Gaius: "Understood. Please let me finish my work first. Like all spaceships, the space after passing through the airlock is the cargo warehouse, which facilitates the transportation of cargo. At the end of the cargo warehouse is the main elevator, which is the passenger and cargo space. Using the elevator, you can drive the trucks used in the warehouse into the elevator.”

Liefeng looked at the huge warehouse and exclaimed: "Wow, I have never lived in such a big house!"

No, the ship has been changed. Do you still want to stay in the warehouse?

Wang Chao: "Give me a room to sleep in. How many rooms are there on the ship?"

Gaius: "There are twenty luxurious suites for professors!"

Nia frowned: "There are so many suites, but not one for me!"

Wang Chao said to Liefeng: "Did you hear that? Choose an apartment you like and don't stay in the warehouse anymore."

"Hey~ I want to live in a big house! Besides, isn't it appropriate for a manual labor force like me to live in a warehouse?"

You just want the big house to yourself.

Gaius: "Can we continue visiting? Okay? Then please get on the elevator."

As soon as they entered the elevator, Gale started shouting again: "Such a big elevator! This elevator is almost as big as a quarter of the Jackdaw's cargo bay."

Lily smiled: "Lie Feng looks like that Grandma Liu."

"What do you mean?" Li Feng looked at Lily strangely, but she immediately found Grandma Liu, "Ah, an ancient figure, let me see what she looks like...right? I'm obviously much prettier than Grandma Liu!"

Lily: "It's your attitude."

Gaius: "The elevator goes up to the first floor, which is the production workshop of the spacecraft."

Wang Chao: "And there is a production workshop?"

"Yes, there are LV5 printers here to meet some production needs during the scientific expedition. For example, if you want to build some landing modules and probes, they can be made in the production workshop.

"In addition, there is a biological production workshop here. This spacecraft can produce some protoplasmic vegetables and fruits to maintain the morale of the spacecraft members."

After Gaius finished speaking, Helena snorted disdainfully: "It's purely psychological that native vegetables and fruits taste better. It's the same principle as watching a chef cooking makes the food taste better."

In high-end restaurants in this era, the chefs are all actors, and acting skills are more important than cooking skills. In fact, the dishes they cook are similar to those made by machines.

After Gaius took Wang Chao and his entourage around the factory, they returned to the elevator one floor above.

"This is a scientific research area, with a total of six large laboratory groups. Of course, the telescope group used by Professor Nia for research is at the end of the scientific research area, and the telescopes are all mounted on the head of the research ship."

The elevator that Gaius led everyone to take was actually at the rear of the spacecraft, and beyond that were the spacecraft's working fluid engine and propellant tanks.

After listening to the introduction, Nimiao looked at Wang Chao and gestured with her superego: "Would anyone be thinking that with six laboratory groups, just six professors will be recruited on board?"

Wang Chao pretended not to see it.

Gaius continued: "The next floor is the living area on the spacecraft. As mentioned just now, the living area can accommodate two thousand people and has complete entertainment facilities, including cinemas, cafes, etc. If the lifelong consul needs it, We can staff these service facilities immediately!”

Wang Chao: "No need."

Gaius: "But supermarkets and stuff..."

Wang Chao: "Robots are enough. I know you destroyed the robots and artificial intelligence, but since you can complete the transformation of a spaceship in 24 hours, you should be able to print the robots we need right away, right?"

Gaius: "It's possible, but now we can only produce robots that look very different from humans."

"That's fine."

As soon as Wang Chao finished speaking, Li Feng patted his chest: "It's okay, I'm my adoptive father's favorite robot for fun! So I don't need anything else!"

Shut up, what if people misunderstand you?

Gaius smiled politely and said respectfully: "The next step is the last floor of the elevator, which is also the part with the largest amount of work in this renovation. Please allow me to introduce it to you."

Wang Chao had a bad feeling.

Gaius: "This floor is the bridge!"

Sure enough!

When the elevator door opened, Wang Chao was blinded by the splendor outside.

Helena: "Is this the bridge? It's more like some king's throne room!"

Wang Chao walked out of the elevator and looked up at the dome: "Is this... a screen?"

"Yes, the panoramic screen allows you to see the vast sea of ​​​​stars outside." Gaius introduced, "The holographic projector in front can perform holographic projection according to your requirements, whether it is your image or what you are doing. Images of orbiting planets, or diagrams of the current state of the galaxy, can be projected."

Wang Chao raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the bulge on the other side of the projector.

"What's that at the end?"

Gaius said respectfully: "This is your throne. We set it on a pedestal 6.18 meters higher than the entire bridge platform to ensure that you can overlook everyone on the entire platform!"

Wang Chao scratched his head: "Um, I'm just a little shrimp in the X organization."

Before this, Wang Chao had been avoiding mentioning Organization

But at this time he couldn't bear it anymore.

Gaius smiled: "Actually, all of us can see that you don't really care about Organization X."

Nonsense, then the organization does not exist. Have you finally seen it? Old foxes!

Gaius: "The reason is simple. You have a transcendent status in Organization X."

……

Gale didn't stop laughing.

Lily patted her shoulder.

Wang Chao looked embarrassed: "Did Julian tell you this again?"

Gaius: "Of course, Julian told me everything."

Wang Chao looked at Helena.

Helena: "Mr. Gaius, the introduction is over. Let's go to the clinic. You can show me the way."

　Don't worry, I just finished my masculinity and am still in the stage of sleeping 11 hours a day. I don't know how many times I've had sex. I don't feel any discomfort, I just want to sleep.
