Chapter 1387 Flagship Maintenance

Three years after the logistics base relocation was completed, in the 527 Star System.

This is the logistics base for human civilization, Daya civilization, the Awakeners, and 37 Level 6 civilizations under the Galactic Great Voyage Organization.

Today, this galaxy, with a diameter of only 5.3 light-years, has become a bustling construction site, with interstellar factories everywhere and planets being blasted to extract resources.

Forty Level VI civilizations have countless engineering and transport ships running all over the star system, and various interstellar factories are working day and night to manufacture warships.

Apart from the Awakeners, other civilizations are busy building conventional warships, mass-producing soft-star people, and training space warriors in preparation for the upcoming war.

Although the 527 Galaxy is a logistics base, it has been affected by war more than once in the past. The Abyss Grand Expedition Organization and the Breakers have fought here countless times, occupying and losing it repeatedly. The ravages of war have long since rendered any low-level civilizations inhabiting it.

In fact, this is not only the case in the 527 galaxy, but also in other galaxies within the Stargate Network, where there is simply no environment for the survival of low-level civilizations.

In this environment, within the star system where human civilization resides, the current human settlements not only have bustling factories, but also an enormous starship dock.

The dock, roughly the size of Earth, hovered in a vast, empty void. It was currently operational, with various functional ships moving about around it, resembling a swarm of bees buzzing around a hive.

Outside the dock, in the empty space, were fleets patrolling.

This is not a spaceship dock for producing warships; strictly speaking, it is a maintenance base specifically used to maintain the Lyra.

As you can see, after the Lyra entered the dock, the enormous dock began to close, and its mechanical arms began to converge and rest on the Lyra. Various advanced equipment for maintaining the base also extended their operating arms and attached themselves to the Lyra.

At the same time, the hatches of the Tianqin opened, and a group of mountain-class engineering vessels flew out of the open hatches like a swarm of bees, and transformed into operators, connecting the Tianqin's physical data interface with the maintenance base.

"Dock completed for Unit 2!"

"Interface 15 has been successfully connected!"

"Interface 602 has been successfully connected!"

"Data docking between the shipborne supercomputer and the maintenance base's supercomputing system is complete. Proceed to execute the next command!"

The warship's system screen displayed a series of characters, indicating that the Tianqin had entered maintenance mode.

Having fought the Boundary Breakers for hundreds of years in the 627 Galaxy, the Lyra frequently used two unique technological products: microscopic high-dimensional jump and quantum exile strike. With so many uses, maintenance was naturally necessary. Otherwise, if these two technologies were to malfunction and drag the user into an unknown microscopic world, it would be a real problem.

Therefore, whether it is to prepare for the great battle to come or to eliminate various bugs that occur during operation, the Lyra must be maintained.

The flagships of other distinctive technological civilizations are largely the same.

Humanity's brilliant scientists gathered together, some leading their teams at the maintenance base, while others carried out maintenance work on the Lyra, based on their respective areas of expertise.

Long Xinglv was one of them. He was currently lying on a consciousness link device in the core area of ​​the Lyra. Some of his team members were in the same consciousness link state as him, while others were using holographic screens or various auxiliary devices to begin testing the Lyra as required.

"This is Longxing Brigade. My team is ready, and the consciousness link observation mode is activated. Maintenance base, please report your status and whether we can begin!" Longxing Brigade, in the third-person observation mode of the consciousness link, felt as if he were in his own dream. In this state, he spoke with his consciousness, and the system of the consciousness link device automatically transmitted his meaning to each unit.

"Maintenance Base, the 77th Maintenance Team has completed mind linking and is currently under third-person observation. They are ready to begin work!"

"Maintenance Team 15 is ready."

"Maintenance Team 3 is ready."

As a brilliant scientist leading the work, Long Xinglv confirmed the information once and then issued a signal at the same frequency, and then began maintenance and testing work on the Tianqin.

In third-person observation mode, Longxing Brigade controls "itself" and follows the data link toward the core of Tianqin's unique technological creations.

Controlling himself to stride forward, bizarre and fantastical scenes drifted through Long Xinglv's consciousness. Then, a familiar scene appeared in his mind—a scene he couldn't describe to anyone else. Upon seeing this sight, Long Xinglv knew that his consciousness had truly entered the very core of the technological creations unique to human civilization.

That kick just now was the process of his consciousness traveling from the macroscopic level to the microscopic depths along the path.

Looking at the drifting fluff that appeared before him, some straight and some curled, Long Xinglv knew that these were the key to the Lyra's ability to launch the quantum exile strike; they were controllable combinations of strings.

After calming himself down, Longxing Brigade immediately sent messages to other staff members, instructing them to start accessing the computing power of the Tianqin supercomputer. He also notified all nodes at the maintenance base to begin verifying the corresponding expressions of various string structures on the Tianqin.

"The core has completed the micro-dimensional curvature preference settings. I will repeat the typical size parameters of string vibration for the six-dimensional micro-curvature. Now we will begin some comparative calculations of other properties of the superstring mathematical structure and world surface description!"

"Alright, string harmonic mode is now activated. All units, please listen carefully for information from the lowest string vibration mode!"

"Roger that!"

"Maintenance Team 24 reports: Third-person observation mode detected that the core of Lyra, the seventh vertical axis, and the eighth horizontal axis, of type Karabhichu, have been penetrated by an uncontrollable microscopic six-dimensional membrane. This extra-dimensional penetration has caused three bugs in the string feedback."

"Commander-in-Chief, please be informed: My 14th Mathematical Maintenance Team has begun a verification calculation of the variant string equation on the core. This equation describes the tight clustering state of the D-membrane. The extraction of microscopic six-dimensional spatiotemporal curling data has been completed. The interaction mode of the 'red' membrane and the 'blue' membrane has been determined. The calculation will begin in ten seconds."

"Commander-in-Chief understands!"

"Commander-in-Chief, please note that the monitoring data from my 35th Maintenance Team is summarized as follows: the string duality equation exhibits unusual fragmentation characteristics, the microscopic gravitational hierarchy shows commutational shifts, and the membrane charge units show non-integer values. This data has been synchronized with all operating units."

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand! Your team is preparing to perform supersymmetric equation calculations. In three minutes, I will synchronize with your team the detailed time-varying behavior parameters of the spacetime strings and particles. Operation Team 12 will follow up simultaneously and eliminate the non-integer parameter bug!"

"understand!"

"learn!"

Under the leadership of a group of brilliant scientists, human civilization's maintenance work on the Lyra is on track. With a new round of war imminent, human civilization must ensure that the Lyra is in its peak condition.

After years of frequent use of its unique technological creations, the Lyra undergoes this maintenance and inspection. Maintaining a flagship equipped with unique technologies is no easy task; it must be led by brilliant scientists who understand these technologies, and sometimes a single maintenance session can take several years.
