Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 685 Exit Passage
Those who understood Yue Yuan's meaning also pricked up their ears.

The thing that is displayed on the big screen is actually a genuine creation of the sixth-level civilization. On the screen, humans cannot see any connection ports or structures such as doors. From a distance, it looks like a coffin.

"You can understand that in the gap between the spaces where your fleet is, this equipment can only be used after you reach the fourth-level civilization. This refers not only to your spiritual consciousness, but also to the technological creations of the fourth-level civilization." The voice of the intelligent system sounded slowly, floating into the ears of the people present, "Now you just need to leave enough space in the design of your new spaceship. When the time comes, place this equipment in your new battleship, and it will automatically connect to your battleship system."

The people present listened quietly to the explanation of the intelligent system.

As the intelligent system explained, everyone gradually understood this "gift from the awakener". Its appearance was the same as what we saw on the big screen, but its size was much larger than humans imagined.

Its longest side is 10 kilometers long, which is too long to fit into any of the current transport ships. Human ships do have ships longer than 10 kilometers, but the outer length is not the same as the internal capacity. For example, the spacecraft that humans built for warp experiments was very large, but it was full of various equipment and there was no extra space.

This time, the awakener did not do any tricks like "you will know when the time comes, and I will give it to you when the time comes". Instead, after the intelligent system was introduced, the creation appeared.

It suddenly appeared in the human fleet cluster in a grand manner, and then hovered there quietly.

But when this creation appeared, humans were in trouble, because this thing is really too big. The only way humans can think of to transport it is to install a warp engine on it or install conventional thrusters on it. After all, the intelligent system said that this thing is actually a technological creation used inside a warship, but it does not have any power system.

However, what no one expected was that the next words of the intelligent system stunned everyone: "It is a set of consciousness linking equipment, and it is also the key to the exit of this space. It is a method to open the passage. Once you are familiar with the use of this set of equipment and complete the consciousness link, you can open the exit passage."

"what?"

These words made everyone's heart sink. They understood what the intelligent system meant. That is, the channel will not appear until humans have learned how to use this equipment. Well, this seems to be a redundant statement, but it is not. Because the so-called learning to use it can be opened means that humans need to enter a third-person perspective driving state centered on the battleship.

In other words, if humans want to get out, they must build a new warship that can accommodate this technological creation.

This puts humans in a difficult position, because the awakener only gives one gift. According to the intelligent system, this is the host of a complete set of equipment. Only by activating it with a level 4 civilization warship can humans obtain its subsystem kit.

That is to say, only one warship can use this thing, and humans can install its sub-kits on other warships.

As for which warship the "host" will be installed on, there is no need to think too much, it must be the new flagship.

Yes, this technological creation is the "host" of a complete set of equipment. Once humans open this "host", many sets of sub-equipment will appear, and the sub-equipment can be used on other warships.

The number of sub-devices is a total of 2,990 sets.

In other words, with the addition of the main equipment, humans can arm 3,000 warships. After all the equipment is completed, humans will have 3,000 warships that can be driven and fought from a third-person perspective.

After carefully reading the instructions sent by the intelligent system, humans also learned that with their current mental strength, if they want to control this equipment and enter the third-person driving mode, at least 8,000 people are needed to access the equipment together on the main device to share the mental load brought by the operation of the equipment. Of course, this number will decrease as human technology in the field of mental consciousness advances and as the strength of human mental consciousness is further strengthened, and eventually it will reach the point where only one person is needed to drive a battleship, just like the awakener.

In other words, each spaceship needs at least 8,000 pilots, one of whom is the main pilot and the others are co-pilots. It is worth mentioning that the other pilots will have the same perspective when they access the equipment, and can also convey their meaning to the main pilot during driving, and then let the main pilot control the warship to make various responses.

This driving mode reminds humans of a science fiction movie from the Earth era, but driving that kind of mecha only requires the cooperation of two people, while now it requires eight thousand people.

Fortunately, all humans are third-person perspective dreamers, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve this number of drivers.

What is troubling humans is not the driving method, but the construction of the new flagship.

Originally, humans planned to leave this space and build a new flagship. However, the intelligent system now tells humans that they must first have a new flagship and then load this set of consciousness synchronization equipment before the channel can be opened.

It's not that humans don't trust the awakeners. After all, the awakeners have done this. If they really wanted to harm humans, they could have directly kidnapped humans to serve as their warriors. But the resources in this space are really scarce. Now the remaining heavy metal resources are not sure whether they are enough to build a new flagship.

Regardless of whether it is enough or not, the intelligent system said so, and as far as humans know, this is the condition set by the awakener "Huan", and this intelligent system cannot change it.

What else can we do? We can only count the resources and roll up our sleeves to build a new flagship.

Humans actually have data on the resources in this space, so at Yue Yuan's command, the summary data on the materials needed for the new flagship was quickly delivered to him.

The new warship is three hundred kilometers long, and one hundred kilometers wide and high. Its frame is designed with the most advanced strong materials, which shows the difficulty of manufacturing and the amount of materials used.

The statistical results were as expected: not enough.

After repeated consideration, experts proposed to dismantle some astronomical-grade particle colliders and re-refine them to extract the necessary heavy metals for the manufacture of alloys needed for warships. This would definitely be enough.

That's right. The reason why this space has become short of materials is entirely due to the astronomical-grade particle collider. Basically, most of the metals are used on it. The problem of lack of various metals can definitely be solved as long as the astronomical-grade particle collider is used.

Yue Yuan did not hesitate about this proposal. He did not even invite a large number of people to a meeting. He directly made the decision: demolish it!
Anyway, the grand unified theory has been found now, and there should be no need to dismantle everything and re-refine it. The most urgent task is to accept the gift of the awakening civilization and then leave this space with scarce resources. Yue Yuan can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant.

Even if we need to use this astronomical particle collider in the future, we can just make some parts to replace it after we get out. This astronomical particle collider was designed in a modular way when it was manufactured. As long as the core parts are not removed, it is not difficult to replace them.
