Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 321 Subspace Computer
In the completely normal grand passage in front of him, the cabin that suddenly appeared completely overlapped with everything in the passage.

It's like a bug in the game, which causes two models and textures to completely overlap... in a very simple, crude and physically absurd way.

If there was no one carrying a recording device and Qin Xia could only use words to describe everything he saw, he would not know what words to use to accurately describe the scene he saw.

Just like the giant cabin and the passage are illusory to each other, one is real and the other is illusory, and when they overlap, you can see an obvious boundary. That boundary tells the brain through vision: it is impossible for them to overlap.

“Quantum technology.”

The stone man walked straight towards the door of the giant cabin.

"Just go ahead and don't worry about anything because this is pure physical technology."

"The cabin and the surrounding environment are essentially made into an illusion, and only when we interact with certain structures do some of them become real."

"So you don't have to worry about getting your foot stuck somewhere, or falling into something."

Qin Xia strode forward.

The think tanks and gladiators followed suit.

The gladiators had been at ease in the previous battle, but now they were as cautious and a little clumsy as cats entering an unknown environment.

The gladiators moved through the cluttered structures created by the superposition of cabins and the surrounding environment.

Only after becoming familiar with everything that overlapped and intersected around them did the gladiators become as agile as usual.

Brown opened the door of the core cabin just like the last time he searched for the core, and led everyone into the cabin.

There are a lot of equipment attached to the walls and surroundings outside the cabin, but the interior is very clean and flat.

An extremely tiny object, no bigger than a child's fist, was floating in the center of the cabin.

“This is the core,” Brown reminded everyone.

"So small?" Chief Think Tank Varis was surprised. "I thought the core was several hundred meters in size..."

The use of AI is prohibited in the human empire, and some tasks that must be completed with AI are completed using a device called "Thinker".

The arrays of thinkers vary in size.

The Thinker array on the White Knight, the kind of Thinkers used to coordinate the overall situation, is about six hundred meters high and looks like an undulating mountain.

So everyone, including Qin Xia, thought that the core of this giant ship should also be huge, but in fact it was not even as big as a child's fist.

"Subspace technology." Brown walked towards the core and explained, "This core is equivalent to a supercomputer. Supercomputers need to rely on hardware devices to increase their computing power, but the computing power of this core does not require hardware devices to provide, but relies on a superb technology that makes sophisticated use of subspace."

"It's equivalent to a computer whose chassis is subspace, right?" Qin Xia asked.

"It's not entirely accurate, but it makes it easier to understand." Brown nodded.

The core is within easy reach.

Qin Xia walked forward and checked the core.

Brown had already explored the core and risked connecting to it, but ended up being sealed by the core and infected with a virus.

But Brown, the stone man, mostly used real-life technology, so Qin Xia decided to start with psychic power.

Just as Qin Xia stretched out his hand to sense the core in front of him, Tethys behind him immediately stopped him: "If this thing uses subspace technology, it may be very dangerous for you to touch it."

"It is indeed dangerous, but theoretically the core cannot exert any influence when it encounters an existence without soul projection." Brown said, "But this is only theoretical, so we need to think carefully and act with caution."

Brown turned his head to look at Qin Xia, and reached out to pull out the connection line behind his head: "If you decide to contact it, be very careful. If you don't react for more than ten seconds, I will connect to the core... It is more hostile to people like me. If I contact it, I will be its priority target."

Qin Xia nodded and stretched out his hand to press on the core.

The moment Qin Xia touched the core with the intention of exploring, he suddenly realized that the environment around him had changed. All the people around him disappeared, and were replaced by a strange environment in the subspace.

Right in front of us, a huge cube shining with white light was suspended in the strange environment of the subspace.

"That should be the core subspace projection." Qin Xia thought.

Creatures with souls will have soul projections, and things without souls will also produce projections in the subspace.

Qin Xia was certain that what he saw was the subspace projection of the core of the ship, that is, the "hardware equipment" of the "supercomputer" in the subspace.

At the same time, there was a feeling, a sense of déjà vu, or some other kind of spiritual sensation that emerged in Qin Xia's senses.

That familiar feeling...

"It was it that intercepted the influence of psychic energy on this ship." Qin Xia thought.

The reason why the ship cannot be infiltrated by psychic energy is not caused by a device like the "Geller Field", but by the influence of the ship's core itself. In this case, it is impossible for anyone to find and destroy anything that can shatter the ship's interception of psychic energy.

Unless there is a way to directly destroy this core, most of which is in the subspace.

But Qin Xia determined through perception that this was impossible, at least ordinary psychics and weapons of this era could not do it.

Qin Xia continued to explore and found that some subspace creatures were approaching in the light around the core.

The core's subspace projection was extremely bright, thousands of times brighter than the soul projections of the psychics that Qin Xia was seeing in the subspace now.

If he was a psychic, he would be devoured by the warp creatures that were attracted, turned into a living door for entering and exiting the real universe by the demons, and sucked by the ancient warp unconscious creatures that were more powerful and terrifying than the demons...

But the core is intact.

The creatures of the warp could not approach its surroundings, just as Qin Xia and the think tanks could not infiltrate the ship with psychic power.

Qin Xia saw that some powerful subspace creatures were attracted here, and they were directly destroyed by the core subspace projection without bringing any bad effects.

"It is expected that the scheduled cleanup will be completed in ten seconds."

A cold and merciless electronic sound came from the shining core. Qin Xia frowned, wondering how it was possible for "what to do in ten seconds" to exist in the subspace.

The act of counting can exist in the subspace, but it is meaningless.

But just after Qin Xia counted ten seconds like in the real universe, the core released a ray of light, cleansing away all the increasing number of subspace creatures squeezed around it.

Qin Xia was startled and looked down at himself, only to find that he was still around the core and had not been cleared.

Through the scene just now, Qin Xia realized that this core performed an action similar to "anti-virus". The subspace creatures are "viruses", and the light just now cleared the viruses completely, just like the function of anti-virus software on a computer.

And looking deeply into this matter, thinking about it...

Qin Xia then realized that the projection of the core in the subspace had made part of the area around it "programmed". There was time shaped by it, time was flowing, and there was a firewall that blocked the creatures of the subspace.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that this core could kill subspace creatures that approached it like a virus. Even if this function could not be used elsewhere, it could at least ensure that the area around the core was safe.

As for how safe it is, it is hard to say.

But it is definitely not unlimited security, which means that overly powerful subspace creatures can still break through the firewall and force their way into the core like a powerful virus on a computer.

And those who can break through it are not only overly powerful subspace creatures, but also invaders who can hide themselves.

After some thought, Qin Xia tried to approach the extremely shining projection of the core.

The projection didn't clear him out, nor did it block him.

Qin Xia moved closer and closer to the projection until he could touch what was in front of him.

The core seems to store information in psychic energy, and use and calculate it directly in the subspace.

The moment Qin Xia touched the core's subspace projection, psychic energy began to flow in, along with information mixed in the psychic energy.

Most of the information was filtered out by Qin Xia's brain. The brain's self-protection mechanism prevented it from being destroyed by the sudden influx of massive information. However, under the control of Qin Xia's strong will, his brain still read some things from the information that he subconsciously thought were extremely important.

A map of the interior of a battleship.

Various places appear on the map, including various control centers - those that control the ship's weapons, engines, navigation, internal and external defenses, and life support.

This perception and absorption of information triggers a certain defensive function of the core.

"Unknown intrusion detected."

A sound came from the core, and then everything around became unreal and flickering.

After the release of strong light one after another, the core subspace projection suddenly disappeared, replaced by a vast number of subspace creatures and a blank space in the subspace.

"No!"

Qin Xia, who wanted to know more about the giant ship, suddenly woke up. After opening his eyes, he found himself in the passage.

Security robots guard every visible exit of the passage.

Gladiators and think tanks surrounded Qin Xia.

Brown held the connecting wire in his hand and looked at Qin Xia with concern.

"Where is the cabin?" Qin Xia looked around.

The cabin disappeared, leaving only the passage that strangely overlapped with the cabin. Everything here still remained the same as it was before the overlap with the cabin. Even the debris and dust on the ground remained unchanged, as if the cabin was teleported here just a dream of a group of people.

"How do you feel?" Brown walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand to take off Qin Xia's helmet and put his other hand on his neck, sensing Qin Xia's physiological information. "You just stood there motionless for ten seconds. When I was about to connect to the core, the entire cabin and the core disappeared."

"I'm fine." Qin Xia calmed down, looked at the gladiators who had gathered and were looking at him with concern, shook his head, and said again, "I'm fine, I just had contact with the core."

Qin Xia looked at the think tanks again.

The think tanks are already preparing to release the "Integration" spell. If Qin Xia does not wake up in time, they will summon psychic giants to give the core a few punches.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Xia said as he walked through the think tanks and under the smooth wall of the passage.

When Qin Xia stood under the wall, he looked like an ant entering the ruins of a giant.

Everyone had to tilt their heads back as far as they could to see a corner of the top of the passage.

Qin Xia recalled what he had just sensed.

After taking a deep breath, the Lord of the White Knights waved his hand quickly.

Accompanied by a roar and a strong wind whistling through the passage, a magnificent pattern appeared on the wall.

The pattern occupies the space from top to bottom of the wall, and is nearly a kilometer long from left to right.

It appeared on the wall in an instant.

It was like a giant seal was smashed against the wall, with a loud bang and the bottom pattern was imprinted on the wall.

"Map of the colonial ship?" Brown immediately stepped forward and took a picture of the pattern in front of him and saved it.

"Yes, the map. I saw it... I saw it just now..."

Qin Xia turned around and savored the feeling when he touched the core. He had a complex feeling of palpitations, worry, excitement, and excitement.

After Brown finished recording, Qin Xia waved again, and the map on the wall disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared.

"I have no way of controlling the core."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we can control the movement of this colony ship and the independent factory, that's all."
