Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1397 Everything is in order

Yang Bo's plan seemed simple: wait for the target fleet to enter the ambush zone, then detonate the energy stone to generate a massive energy shock that would disrupt the fleet's radar and communication systems.

Then the pirate warships that were lying in ambush launched an attack on these fleets.

This plan looks simple, but in practice, it would be almost impossible for others to achieve.

Because the energy impact will prevent either side's radar from obtaining a valid signal.

Radar is the eye of a warship.

The advantage of energy weapons on warships is obvious: they have a long range and great power.

However, energy weapons also have a drawback: their limited coverage area.

Traditional artillery shells rely on fragments to create area-of-effect damage.

Of course, traditional artillery shells and missiles have limited range.

Moreover, traditional artillery shells and missiles are too slow.

Traditional artillery shells and missiles may not be able to keep up with the speed of a warship traveling at full speed.

Therefore, battles between warships are mainly fought using energy weapons.

In the vast expanse of space, at a distance of over 2 million kilometers, an energy weapon is needed to hit a target that is 5,000 meters long.

Moreover, the target was moving at high speed, so you can imagine how difficult it was.

This is no less than using a sniper rifle to shoot an ant from 5 kilometers away.

Therefore, the key to executing this plan is to figure out the location of the target fleet.

This task would be difficult for others, but it was too easy for Yang Bo.

Yang Bo was controlling the C-class warship that he had just traded with Zhang Han.

That's right, Yang Bo is going to gamble with a C-class warship.

Then the standard energy stones were delivered to the warship, and a detonation device was installed inside the warship.

The warship then proceeded to the target area.

Meanwhile, Yang Bo also used hacking techniques to infiltrate the target fleet.

The target fleet is currently still in the Empire's star system, so it has not yet conducted silent navigation.

The escort fleet dispatched by the Federation this time is the Federation's 1st Fleet, under which the 4th Squadron is located.

Right now, all the officers and soldiers in the 4th Fleet are making the most of their time to go online.

Because once the fleet enters a silent navigation state, it will lose network connectivity with the outside world.

Yang Bo had long ago discovered the backdoors of these warships in the Federation fleet.

Of course, Yang Bo couldn't do things too perfectly; he just wanted to infiltrate the backdoor silently.

So Yang Bo resorted to a rather crude method: deception.

They tricked the officers and soldiers in the fleet who were playing games into downloading some things.

Many of the officers and men in the Fourth Fleet enjoy playing games, because as fleet personnel, there is little entertainment while sailing in the vast expanse of space.

Moreover, the fleet often sails in silence.

Yang Bo directly contacted several hardcore gamers and sent them pictures under the guise of selling equipment.

These images are all pictures of equipment, but they are actually images of hacking programs.

A single image won't work; several images together are needed for it to work.

Although these game players are not on the same warship in the fleet, they are all using the same server.

When these game players click on the images at the same time, the hacker program fragments within those images will remain on the server.

If several players click on the game at the same time, then the hacker program fragments are pieced together on the server.

Of course, none of the gamers bought the game equipment they wanted because Yang Bo didn't have the relevant equipment.

Then Yang Bo used the warship's server to directly hack into all the warships in the entire fleet.

The 4th Fleet served as an escort fleet, with three Class A warships as cargo.

The two sides sail in formation, so there will be information exchange between them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Bo implanted hacking programs into these three Class A warships.

"Hehe!!!" After doing all this, Yang Bo chuckled to himself.

Although these fleets will subsequently sail silently, they will periodically exchange information with the Federal Department of Defense via space quantum communication modules to determine the fleet's location and safety.

In addition, after encountering an attack by its own suicide C-class battleship.

The Federation's fleet will definitely contact the Federation immediately via the space quantum communication module.

At this point, Yang Bo had even more options, namely, to directly launch a hacking program.

Because the energy shockwave generated by the explosion of a suicide C-class warship would be very strong.

No one knows what impact such a shockwave will have on the warship itself, so it is only natural that various systems on the warship will malfunction.

Anyway, there was no evidence afterward, because Yang Bo caused these warships to either disappear or be robbed by pirates.

Afterwards, neither the Imperial nor the Federal government had any way of knowing what had happened from the physical evidence.

After doing all this, Yang Bo simply waited for the harvest.

"Four Class A warships!"

"Haha!!" Yang Bo was so happy he almost jumped up.

Then they waited for the Greyhound pirate crews to arrive at the rendezvous point, and then proceeded from the rendezvous point to the ambush site.

All that's left is to wait for the target fleet to enter the ambush zone.

Yang Bo returned to March Star with great excitement.

This is a real windfall!

This opportunity only comes once!
Next time, both the Empire and the Federation will definitely send a stronger lineup.

"These guys in Madhya Pradesh are really unlucky!"

"We're rushing to lose several warships!" Yang Bo shook his head again, realizing that the Federation had been having bad luck lately.

If it is the Empire that delivers three warships to the Federation, then the Empire will send these three Class A warships to the Federation's Central State for delivery and commissioning.

Now that the Federal State of Madhya has dispatched an escort fleet, it means that these warships have been delivered.

Furthermore, the accompanying personnel sent by the Federal Central State have begun to familiarize themselves with the three Class A warships delivered by the Empire, and the three Class A warships have officially started using the Federal Temporary IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system.

In the end, even if the Empire is willing to acknowledge some of the losses, the Federation will still bear some responsibility.

The cost of three Class A warships is not cheap.

Yang Bo returned to March Star and went straight to the training mecha intelligent manufacturing plant.

This manufacturing plant looks just like a transport spaceship.

The manufacturing plant has been docked at March Star for some time now, and Yang Bo has been too busy to come over recently.

So today, let's take a look at the manufacturing plant first.

"Welcome, Master!" All permissions for the smart factory have been transferred to Yang Bo, but Yang Bo discovered that this smart factory has many backdoors.

This smart factory is not manufactured by a single company, but rather by components from multiple companies.

These technology companies form alliances, and they embed their own underlying programs into the hardware.

These underlying programs cannot be erased; the only way to remove them is by replacing the hardware.

The interior of the warship intelligent manufacturing plant is also divided into several areas.

The manufacturing plant is divided into compartments, each of which is an independent production workshop. These workshops produce training mech parts in different categories.

These components will eventually be sent to the final assembly bay.

In other words, the basic structure of the transport ship has not been changed.

The entire smart factory has 1500 robots.

There are 1000 robots among them, but they are just ordinary robots.

There are 300 robots, which is considered a mid-range robot fleet.

Only a few dozen robots are classified as intelligent robots.

Does this configuration look familiar?
Like traditional manufacturing plants, smart manufacturing plants have different requirements for robots depending on the job position.

Because intelligent robots are much more expensive than ordinary robots.

If all of them were high-end intelligent robots, the cost would be very high.

The same applies to traditional manufacturing plants; they don't have high requirements for frontline workers, but they do have high requirements for managers and technical personnel.

Yang Bo shut down the smart system in the smart factory.

This intelligent system also has a backdoor.

Although intelligent system development companies generally do not control systems through backdoors.

But Yang Bo still felt unsafe.

This intelligent manufacturing plant is highly intelligent.

If only the blueprints for the training mechs are provided, the intelligent manufacturing factory can quickly break them down and then assign the parts manufacturing tasks to different robots.

These robots then further broke down the manufacturing tasks.

Finally, these tasks are assigned to ordinary robots.

In addition, the entire smart factory also has automated maintenance robots.

These robots are capable of maintaining all the equipment in the entire smart factory, including the robots themselves.

Of course, for this kind of smart factory, there's no other way but to design the core control software yourself.

That is, the control system for training mechs.

In addition, this smart factory is only authorized to manufacture training mechs, not official mechs.

The manufacturing sector is categorized in a more detailed way within the alliance.

The license to manufacture official mechs is very expensive.

Yang Bo's main purpose this time was to personally inspect the project and see how the various procedures involved in the intelligent manufacturing project could be optimized.

The smart manufacturing plant now has two sets of intelligent programs: one is the smart factory program, and the other is the control program for the transport spacecraft.

In other words, this smart factory can manufacture training mechs while it is in motion.

Yang Bo looked around and was somewhat shocked by what he saw.

The entire smart manufacturing plant can be said to have many backdoors.

Even the control system of the transport spacecraft has many security vulnerabilities.

There are even some backdoors.

There are also various equipment and robots inside.

Moreover, if this smart manufacturing plant continues to be upgraded, it will cost a lot of money.

Yang Boxian glanced at it briefly but didn't touch anything inside.

As for the new training mech blueprints, they will not be uploaded to the current smart factory.

"It's a troublesome matter!!" Yang Bo, however, was capable of updating all the software and hardware on this transport ship.

But that would make me seem too awesome.

Because the entire transport ship involves too many systems, including various manufacturing industries, robots, design software, and so on.

If someone has the ability to handle all of this, then that person must be a legendary god.

Moreover, even if Yang Bo designs the transport ships and manufacturing plant systems himself, he still has to submit them to the relevant certification departments of the alliance for certification and audit!
And these certification bodies are precisely the manufacturers in the relevant industries.

Yang Bo had already made a plan, since it was impossible to upgrade the entire smart manufacturing plant.

So I'll choose what I can do: manufacture the hardware for training mechs in the smart factory!

Then I took charge of the software part of training the mechs.

The control system of the training mech is relatively simple because the training mech is mainly used for training and its own weapon system and defense system are limited!
After returning from the airport, Yang Bo submitted an application to the new official authorities in March.

Because the alliance's laws stipulate that reactivating these smart factories requires certain procedures.

Each department needs to conduct relevant assessments.

However, Yang Bo had connections with Zhang Bozhen, so he was able to obtain the license with ease!
"Did you visit the smart manufacturing factory today?"

"How are you feeling?" Su Wei and the others asked Yang Bo after they finished their superpower training, seeing that he was already busy.

"I thought I'd gotten a great deal, but it turned out to be a huge problem!"

"This smart factory is indeed impressive, but upgrading everything to the latest version will cost a lot of money."

"Moreover, many devices inside the smart factory are outdated due to the passage of time."

"But we can't replace it right now. If we want to replace it, we'll have to replace the entire set of equipment!" Yang Bo explained.

Hearing that this matter was so troublesome, Su Wei and the others couldn't help but shake their heads and say, "We didn't expect it to be more troublesome than we imagined!"

"I am currently applying for the relevant licenses!"

"When we have time, let's go on an interstellar trip together." Yang Bo said this to foreshadow his later departure from March Star.

This time, anti-government forces, pirates, and assassin organizations plan to carry out a terrorist attack on March Star.

I will leave this March Star as soon as possible under various pretexts.

After leaving March Star, I can completely upgrade the transport ship.

Because it will be outside the jurisdiction of the federal government at that time, you can do whatever you want according to your own abilities.

There are many industry associations within the alliance, as well as many complex regulations.

These industry associations also have these regulations, which, strictly speaking, restrict the emergence of other competitors.

Many of the alliance's standards are based on data support provided by companies in the relevant industries.

“Interstellar travel, Yang Bo, how about we go check out the Empire?”

“Although I don’t have much affection for my old home, I still want to go back to where I used to live and take a look,” Su Wei asked when she heard that Yang Bo was going on an interstellar trip.

"of course can!"

"Thank you, Yang Bo." Su Wei offered a kiss!
"Mm." Yang Bo accepted the thanks without being modest.

Why isn't your name on the opening ceremony page of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament?

“Yes, I saw that Yang Bo’s name wasn’t in their organizing committee’s announcement.” Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't like being in the public eye, and I've also received some bad news!" Yang Bo said.

"Bad news?"

"Well, I don't know exactly which side they're from, but there's bound to be some trouble!" Yang Bo said this to pave the way for his future interstellar travel.

"Huh?" The group was taken aback when they heard this.
