From ship girl to machine god

It can be seen that these scientists are very dedicated, but they do not seem to have made any decent progress.

"Hey, it seems that there is no rush, and I don't know when it will be repaired, or the world does not have the ability to repair the core of the mind..." Qingniao sighed helplessly, but she also understood that this matter was really urgent. Come.

Chapter 19 Arriving at Jupiter

In the original movie plot, 2058 planetary engines traveled from 2075 to [-] before the earth reached the orbit of Jupiter.

The hull of the Bluebird took only a month.

This is because the members of the investigation team need to adapt to space life on the ship, so they did not use the jump engine.

The scientists on the ship were extremely fascinated by the jump engine. During this month, in addition to their planned research topics, they basically spent all their time in the engine room studying the experimental jump engine.

However, so far, because the jump engine has not been started or used, they can only do some basic analysis around the core of the jump engine, or study basic theories based on some information provided by Jade Bird.

It's a pity that even the basic theory is still difficult for these scientists to understand.

After all, there is a generational gap in science and technology. Even though these scientists are the top talents on earth, the gap in knowledge accumulation still makes it very difficult for them to achieve every bit of progress.

Fortunately, they have only made little progress on the jump engine project, and the results achieved by other scientific research projects are very satisfactory.

The scientific research cabin provided by Blue Bird is a variety of scientific research equipment based on her technical standards. Even though it is only a ship-based scientific research cabin and not the most top-notch equipment, it is still much better than the most cutting-edge equipment possessed by the coalition government.

Not to mention anything else, just that quantum computer is far ahead of the earth.

Of course, the quantum volume and algorithm of this quantum computer are not something that is out of reach for the earth. As long as the earth works hard and spends ten or eight years, it can build something of the same level.

As for other things, it seems to be very advanced, but you may not be able to catch up if you work hard.

Although the ion reactor of the power system is completely incomparable in this field, it is only because the United Earth Government has focused all its energy on fusion reactors. If they also study ion reactors, they may not be able to build the same thing. Come.

Of course, an ion reactor that can ignite and an ion reactor power core that can be mounted on a space battleship are two completely different things.

Just like the difference between an ordinary person with an IQ of 100, a genius with an IQ of 140, and a monster with an IQ of 210, the gap between them is probably greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

Only on the ship itself and the jump engine, those scientists were scratching their heads and couldn't produce any results.

The hull of the Blue Bird itself is one of the most valuable things on the ship. Even because it is a spaceship, it can be said that it has the most research value and practical value.

After all, if the research is thorough, humans can build large spaceships for space immigration, and there will be no need to wander the earth.

But for those scientists, although they could understand the structure of the ship and got the material formula for the hull from Blue Bird, they couldn't figure out how to build such a giant ship.

This is not surprising.

There is no equal sign between mastering the relevant technology and being able to build such a giant ship.

This is like when the former Soviet Union was able to start construction of three aircraft carriers at the Black Sea Shipyard at the same time. As a result, the Kremlin's red flag fell. Not to mention the three ships, even Varyag, which was 70% completed, could not continue construction.

Not to mention a certain shameful Eastern country that wanted to build an aircraft carrier, but it took decades to build a ship without actually building it.

The technology involved is not only what can be seen with the eyes, but what is invisible is the real focus.

Apart from anything else, if you want to put such a big ship together, how can you ensure that the hull has sufficient structural strength and no problems will occur? This cannot be solved by just learning some materials.

This even involves many disciplines such as architecture and mechanics.

And this is just an aircraft carrier operating at sea. An aircraft carrier operating in space involves many more things, even more than these scientists can understand.

No way, it's just like when the Chinese navy first boarded an American aircraft carrier, they looked at everything as if they were looking at aliens.

However, just like those passionate scientists who did not give up and finally built the aircraft carrier themselves, these scientists also showed the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness. Even if I can't understand, I will draw it. Based on the idea, a comprehensive survey and mapping of the Bluebird's hull was carried out.

Then he spent all his time analyzing and studying these surveying and mapping results, recording a large amount of valuable data and laying a solid research foundation for those who came after him.

Jade Bird was somewhat touched by this, and also provided them with some conveniences. In addition to allowing them to conduct comprehensive surveying and mapping of the hull, it also provided them with relevant information including hull structure diagrams, so that they could travel less Some unnecessary detours.

However, the diligent work of these scientists was interrupted, because after crossing the orbit of Jupiter, the spacecraft will enter a transition state and begin the real voyage of this journey.

In this case, all scientists were forced to interrupt the work at hand and prepare to record all the data that could be monitored when the spacecraft entered the jump.

In order to enter the jump state, Blue Bird also appeared on the bridge for the first time in a long time.

Although she had no intention of intervening in the command team's operations, she was monitoring the status of her hull at all times and was ready to take action if they had any problems.

After all, this is a jump into subspace, and my jump engine is still a trial model. No one can guarantee that there will be no problems.

"Everyone is ready, recharge the jump engine! Enter the jump coordinates!" The officer sitting on the captain's seat gave the order in an orderly manner.

The operators in the bridge were also carefully operating various equipment and monitoring various data according to his instructions. Many people were sweating on their nervous foreheads.

This is mankind's first subspace jump. It is a first that can be recorded in history. At the same time, it is completely without experience and certainty. It is completely impossible to say that you are not nervous.

The lives of more than 700 people on the ship were in their hands!Although this is just what they think, and if something goes wrong, there will be Blue Bird who can take care of it, but they don't know this.

Therefore, when the commanding officer shouted "Start the jump engine", everyone raised their hearts as if they were waiting for the verdict.

Chapter 20 The subspace is in vain

In the scientific research cabin, a group of scientists crowded in front of various instruments, nervously monitoring various data, and constantly recording the readings displayed on the instruments.

There was a slight change in the data, and the expression on the face of the scientist responsible for staring at the data suddenly tightened, and he discussed and communicated with the people next to him in a low voice, for fear of making even the slightest mistake.

The other group of scientists, all wearing thick protective clothing, squatted in the engine room, looking at the now running jump engine as if they were looking at a stunning beauty without any clothes.

"Have the instruments been set up? This is a subspace jump. No one knows what will happen. All instruments must be checked again to ensure that everything is perfect!" The leading old professor stood at the front, watching the rotor on the jump engine move. After charging, it started to spin, and he worriedly warned the people around him.

Standing next to the old professor is his student. Although he is younger, he is also a middle-aged man with a stable face.

Hearing his teacher's instructions, he nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry. All the instruments have been set up. I have checked them myself and there are no problems. Now the jump engine has started to run. According to Chief Engineer Qing, He told me that you cannot enter the engine room now, otherwise it will cause terrible consequences."

These scientists wanted to study the jump engine Blue Bird and did not stop them. All the information that should be given to them was also given to them. These scientists also knew all the relevant taboos and precautions.

It is precisely because of this that everyone here wears heavy protective clothing in order to prevent the energy radiation escaping from the jump engine from penetrating the human body and causing harm.

Of course, the engine room itself is a wall panel made of special materials, which itself has a partitioning effect. There is no need to worry about energy radiation escaping into the cabin.

It's just that these scientists are not afraid of death and want to get closer to the jump engine in order to obtain the most detailed first-hand information, so they still stay in the engine room and stay in a certain protective operation room.

This is the place responsible for operating and controlling the jump engine. You can also directly see the jump engine through the observation window.

Although it is not a face-to-face observation, it is the closest way to observe.

As for the real engine room outside, they have set up a large number of monitoring probes to obtain relevant data in real time and transmit the data to the scientific research cabin for analysis and recording.

While they were saying this, the rotor of the jump engine had increased its rotation speed to the limit, and gradually emitted a bright blue light, making the entire jump engine look like it was covered with a bright blue halo.

When the commanding officer on the bridge shouted to start the jump engine, the energy accumulated in the jump engine was immediately released and transported to the bow of the ship along the energy pipeline.

A transparent space-time bubble enveloped the entire ship starting from the bow, and then the 700-meter-long giant ship turned into a beam of light and disappeared from the real universe under the space-time bubble.

On the bridge, everyone looked at the indescribably beautiful scene outside the portholes with amazement, and exclaimed in admiration.

"Is this subspace?" The officer in charge was amazed and couldn't help but ask the blue bird beside him.

"This is not yet subspace, it can only be regarded as the shallow layer of subspace." Qingniao looked at the spectacular scenery outside the porthole. Even though she had seen it once, she was still amazed by the beauty and magic of the universe: "You Have you ever floated on water? The high-speed rotating stone keeps jumping through constant collision with the water surface, so it can fly farther."

"I played with it when I was a kid. Chief Engineer Qing, do you mean that we are rocks and the subspace is water?" The officer easily made the connection, but although his guess was partially correct, it was not accurate.

So Qingniao shook his head and said: "We are not stones, the space-time bubble that surrounds us is the stone. We are just foreign objects wrapped in the stone and took a ride.

The water surface is not subspace, but a barrier between the real world and subspace. We should actually be in subspace now, generating power through the collision between the space-time bubble and the real world barrier, allowing us to move in the subspace. Flying in subspace. "

As he said that, Qingniao came to the porthole, looked at the indescribable magnificent colors and scenes outside, and said with a bit of emotion: "These scenes outside are actually the time and space soaked in the hull of the ship. The scenes recorded in an instant lost their original appearance under the combined influence of subspace energy and the barriers of the real universe.

Although this kind of scenery is magnificent, it can easily make people go crazy, so protective partitions have been raised throughout the ship to prohibit anyone from directly observing the subspace! "Qingniao issued the order, and before the operators in the bridge could execute it, the protective partitions on the portholes rose up, blocking everyone's ability to continue to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

Everyone can't help but feel a little regretful that they can no longer see such a magnificent scenery. However, the highest authority of this ship is in the hands of Qingniao, and she is the only one who understands and knows what is going on in subspace, so everyone can only Express regret and no other emotions.

"I'll leave it to you here. The subspace jump cannot be carried out for a long time. Pay attention to check the energy reading of the space-time bubble. Once it drops to yellow, let the battleship escape from the subspace. Follow the process I taught you to release the subspace accumulated by the jump engine. Energy." Qingniao explained, and then prepared to leave the bridge.

However, a communication suddenly reached the bridge at this time, and what was shown on the screen was a scientist in the scientific research cabin who was responsible for studying the core fragments of the Blue Bird's mind.

He said to Qingniao: "Chief Engineer Qing, please come to the scientific research cabin quickly. The fragment has reacted!"

"Did the fragment react? What reaction?" Qingniao looked shocked. She really didn't expect how the fragment of her mental core would react in subspace.

She and the scientists from the coalition government had put a lot of thought into this thing in the past few months, and tried various methods but couldn't make it react at all. Why did it suddenly react now?

Does the ship girl still have any connection with the subspace?Or is it that the ship girl has the same subspace essence as the original body?

"We don't know exactly what happened. Ever since the spacecraft entered the subspace just now, this piece of debris has produced an energy reaction. It seems to be absorbing the surrounding energy!" The scientist on the screen explained to Qingniao nervously. With.

Chapter 21 The Mental Core of Self-Healing

The mental core is the foundation of the blue bird, and any changes will have an immeasurable impact on the blue bird. Therefore, after hearing that there was a problem with the fragments of her mental core, she immediately rushed to the scientific research cabin.

But by now she already knew what was going on.

This ship is her body, and everything on the ship is under her control. Before, she just blocked most of the unimportant information to save herself trouble, and handed it over to Dimensity 0017 for processing.

After all, there are now hundreds of people in the investigation team on the ship. If Jade Bird really pays attention to what everyone is doing, a large amount of invalid information may be filled with a lot of invalid information, just like being attacked by a DDS flood attack, and his mind will be filled directly.

Although the qualities of the ship girl in all aspects are far superior to humans, even the ship girl's brain has its limits in processing information. No matter how powerful the quantum computer's computing power is, the computing power will still be occupied by invalid junk information.

So under normal circumstances, Jade Bird still maintains the same habit as in the cyberpunk world, blocking out most of the information and using Dimensity 0017 as his true external brain to process the complicated information.

But when Qingniao wants to know the information she wants to know, she can reconnect the blocked information into her perception at any time.

It was with this hand that Qingniao had controlled various equipment in the scientific research cabin, conducted a comprehensive inspection of the fragments of his mental core, and at the same time took out the remaining mental core from his body and carried out After comparison, I figured out what was going on.

"To put it simply, part of the technology for manufacturing the core of the mind comes from subspace. It itself is a technological black box connected to subspace and can draw energy from subspace." Qingniao simply explained to the scientists in the research cabin. What happened to the mental core, and put forward new requirements for them: "In a complete state, even if the mental core enters the subspace, it will not directly draw energy from the subspace, because there is a constantly open energy inside it. Subspace channel.

However, in a damaged state, the mental core will instinctively repair itself by absorbing subspace energy. The energy reaction you just detected is that this fragment of the mental core is absorbing energy from subspace. "

"Chief Engineer Qing, but according to you, shouldn't this fragment of the core of the mind have energy inside it? Why haven't we detected it before?" A young scientific researcher raised a question to Qingniao, because they had no idea before. No matter how you detect it, this piece of mental core fragment has no energy response and looks like a piece of plexiglass.

Regarding this issue, Qingniao just spread his hands and said with a helpless expression: "Because it is a fragment, the original subspace channel is damaged. So are there any other problems?"

The scientists looked at me and I looked at you. They were all hesitant to speak, or didn't know what to ask. For a moment, no one spoke.

Finally, the leader of the scientific research team responsible for studying the core fragment of the mind raised his hand and asked: "Chief Engineer Qing, since this fragment of the core of the mind can repair itself, what should we do next? Let it repair itself. Or find a way to put it together with the original mental core?"

Hearing the team leader's question, Qingniao also frowned and fell into thinking.

Obviously, just letting the core fragments of the mind repair itself is not a good option.

Because this fragment has become META, even if it repairs itself, it will become a META core instead of the blue bird's original mental core.

A META ship girl had grown out of just such a fragment before. If it was allowed to repair itself, who knows what would happen.

If another META bluebird grows by then, the bluebird will not want to kill "himself" again.
