Alien Hotel.

Chapter 335 Prepare for a rainy day
Before today, Yu Sheng didn't have a very deep impression of the danger of the Holy Hermitage - he only knew that this was a crazy and extreme group, that they were very lacking in the matter of the artificial saint and the bronze knight, and that this group of people mastered a lot of black technology and dominated one side, causing considerable trouble to many forces. However, he always lacked a real sense of the threat that this organization could pose to the outside world.

In fact, regarding this point, he was more impressed by the Angel Cultists. After all, the Angel Cultists really awakened a sleeping Dark Angel and almost blew up the border area...

But now he understood that there was a reason why the Holy Hermitage could be listed as one of the three major cancers in the world along with the "Angel Sect" and the "Black Spot Group" - in his opinion, the danger level of this hermitage was even higher than that of the Angel Sect.

Because they have culture. Not only that, they have organization, and they even have an unwavering program of action!

The angel believers only know to chant when they encounter a situation. If they can annoy the dark angels, they will be successful. Other than that, they are a mess. But these crazy hermits... they use angels as research materials, and want to develop weapons of mass destruction and mass-produce them! For this goal, they can even lurk in a dangerous foreign land for ten years on a ship, actively search for the landing point of the dark angels, and dance with their swords under the noses of big forces like the Border Council and Taixu Lingshu!
"We will immediately contact Qianfeng Lingshan and other forces," Baili Qing said in an extremely serious tone, with a more solemn expression than usual. "The cultists we found at the border and Feiyu-13b may not be all of them. These cultists are like cockroaches. By the time we find one, they may have already spread everywhere."

"We should focus on checking the places where the Dark Angels have descended," Yu Sheng said. "The Priory's target is the 'Angel Catalyst' produced after the angels fall, but the Dark Angels' descending is completely irregular, so they are most likely to follow the places where the angels have descended before to observe and sample..."

"That's right," Baili Qing said, "And it's not just about the places where angels have descended. We also have to find ways to find the survivors who survived the angels' arrival... The Hermitage is very likely to try to contact them."

"It's been more than ten years. Maybe some of them have come into contact with the Hermitage, or even turned into secret agents," Hu Li, who had been listening quietly and not saying much, suddenly said, "We have to be careful not to alert the enemy."

Yu Sheng looked at the fox girl with a little surprise, and realized that this nine-tailed fox who seemed to be in a daze was actually thinking about the topic, unlike Irene next to her - Irene was really in a daze.

Of course Luna is even more serious - she seems to have crashed again.

"Don't worry, we will naturally treat it with caution." Baili Qing nodded solemnly, and then her eyes fell on the Ankaela crystal on the platform not far away.

Yu Sheng also noticed her gaze.

"It is still unclear how these crystals will react, but one thing is certain, these 'angel catalysts' are not as harmless as they appear," Baili Qing said calmly, "It's time to add a few safety precautions."

Yu Sheng nodded: "For example, don't make a jump while carrying the Ankaela crystal."

……

After leaving the Secret Service, Yu Sheng did not go home, but took Irene, Hu Li and Luna directly to the spaceship in the valley.

Technical experts from the Secret Service are still struggling with the complex and eccentric core systems of this spacecraft.

Frankly speaking, when Yu Sheng was "driving the ship" normally, he actually didn't need to use most of the systems on the ship. After all, the process of controlling the ship's navigation was essentially just moving his own "limbs", and teleporting home was just adding the coordinates of a "door" in the phase engine's jump parameters. The whole process was completely "super-system" - to use the terms of the border area, the whole process was actually more like the "machine soul" driving the ship.

He himself is the machine soul of this ship.

But he also knew the necessity of the large number of control systems on the ship, especially those related to navigation and jump.

After all, apart from random teleportation, his "door" can only lead to places he has been to, and if he wants to go to unfamiliar coordinates on a star map, he still has to rely on the spacecraft's own navigation and jump functions - his "machine soul" can at most make it more convenient when giving instructions to these systems.

In the control room of the bridge, a tall and thin middle-aged man with unshaven beard was busy in front of the main control platform. The control console in front of him had been disassembled, and several external cables extended from it, connecting to several terminals beside him. The screen of each terminal was rapidly refreshing a large amount of dazzling data and patterns.

Near him, there were several other assistants busy in other places. Some of them were connecting additional reading and writing devices to other control platforms, some were resetting the operating status of certain subsystems, and some were communicating with people from other working groups with communicators. While the control hall was busy as hell, several other groups were doing similar work in the spacecraft's server cabin, subsystem cabin, disaster recovery database and other places.

As soon as Yu Sheng and his companions came in, they saw this busy scene. Except for the middle-aged man standing in front of the main control platform who raised his head to greet him, no one else in the hall even raised their heads. Yu Sheng didn't mind at all. He understood that these technicians had to be fully focused at the moment, but...his "feeling" was a bit strange at the moment.

Because he is completely connected to the ship.

He could even feel the process of these technical teams connecting a bunch of wires inside his "body" to flash the system.

Yes, it is to flash the system. The main task these technical experts are doing now is to flash the system of this spaceship produced by the Hermitage, to flash its core program to the Secret Service version, and to flash its navigation identification code to a legal sequence.

"My dad used to do something similar," Hu Li stood beside Yu Sheng and watched for a while, then suddenly started to talk, "My family has an old 'Xian Shuttle', and sometimes it suddenly stops flying properly, so my dad would connect a bunch of wires to it like this, and then it would be fixed... But sometimes it couldn't be fixed, so my mom would scold me and then send it to the factory for repair."

As she spoke, she fished out a sausage from her tail and tore it apart with her fangs while muttering, "But that boat is much smaller than this one."

Yu Sheng reached out and rubbed the fur behind the fox girl's ears, then walked to the main control console and asked curiously, "How is the progress now?"

"We have already started rewriting its main system, and the progress is smoother than expected," the unshaven middle-aged technical expert raised his head and glanced at Yu Sheng, "Those cultists cleaned up the original star map and navigation data of this ship, which saved us a lot of trouble - but the data port used by its phase engine is very... unique, most common star maps cannot be directly mounted into it, and it takes some time to recompile.

"Also, we have received an order to crack the database of the Holy Coffin, and we are required not to cause any damage to the Holy Coffin itself. This work has just begun, so you may need to wait patiently for a while. This is mainly because this is the first time we have seen this thing. Although it still uses the classic command architecture of the Priory, many weird things have been added to the underlying code, and some old experience is no longer useful."

Yu Sheng thought about it and still didn't understand. However, he wasn't interested in the technical details, so after thinking for a moment, he asked another question that interested him: "The identification code of this ship is still the one of the Hermitage, right?"

The technical expert was slightly startled, stopped his work, and looked up at Yu Sheng: "Yes, but we will update its identification code to a legal sequence after the main system is updated..."

"Can the old one be kept?" Yu Sheng asked seriously.

"……what?"

"It means keeping two sets of navigation identification codes," Yu Sheng scratched his head. "I don't know much about technical matters, so please forgive me if I'm wrong. Is this technically feasible? At the same time, keep the identification code of this ship in the Priory's ship system and the identification code as a legal ship, and switch at any time when necessary."

The technical expert in front of him also reacted after hearing this: "You want to..."

"Just in case it comes in handy in the future," Yu Sheng stroked his chin, "for infiltration or something."

"What you said is technically feasible. It's just a matter of retaining a 'shadow system', but it's probably difficult to achieve the effect you want in actual use," the technical expert looked a little embarrassed. "The main thing is that this ship must have been marked by the Priory. Especially this kind of infiltration ship, basically it is treated as 'lost contact means defection'. Its old identification code is probably on the alert list in the Priory's system. You can't infiltrate at all with it. On the contrary, it is more likely that you will summon an entire fleet at the first time."

"Well, that's true," Yu Sheng thought for a moment, but then waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I'll keep the old one anyway, just in case it comes in handy."

The technical expert blinked, perhaps because he was not used to Yu Sheng's rhythm of coming up with inexplicable ideas after a while of thinking. But soon, he remembered what his superiors had told him before he left the bureau -

Don't delve into "his" thoughts, don't be curious about "his" purpose, these are all issues that the director needs to consider, just do what "he" says, as long as the other party does not want to subvert the entire border area, don't worry about so many things...

"I understand. Everything will be done according to your idea."
