National Development: I built a base on the rock beast - Chapter 498
Chapter 498 Ghost Ship
The indicator lights on the battleship’s hatch flashed for a while, and after they all turned from red to green, there was a loud sound of gas leaking.
Hearing this sound, Duan Ming also understood that the hatch was successfully opened.
Quickly opening the hatch, Duan Ming entered.
After crossing the isolation layer of the battleship cabin, Duan Ming officially entered the interstellar battleship.
Unlike the clean and tidy interior of the Thirteenth Thieves star battleship, the interior of the Onura pirate regiment’s battleship can be said to be typically dirty and messy.
A good star battleship, its interior walls are covered with graffiti, and weapons and ammunition are piled randomly in the corridors.
Every few steps, Duan Ming could see several beer cans and cigarette butts.
“It seems that the quality of the members of this Onura pirate group is really poor.”
Under Nana’s guidance, Duan Ming passed through a tent area and finally arrived at the battleship’s central control room.
As for why there are tents in the battleship corridor.
Duan Ming guessed that there were too many people in this pirate group, so they set up a temporary one.
After all, at that time, the opponent’s small flying outs were as numerous as locusts, and their total number of members was probably in the tens of thousands.
But their battleships are all old-fashioned battleships.
The characteristic of this kind of warship is that although the warship is very large, it has very few places for people to live.
While thinking, the door of the central control room was opened by Nana.
Duan Ming was about to step forward, but Nana reminded him: “Master, there is an independent defense system in the corridor entering the central control room. Please tell me, master.”
Duan Ming paused for a moment before continuing to move forward.
As soon as he stepped out, a laser blade shot from the side of the corridor and slashed towards Duan Ming’s out-of-bounds foot.
Just as the laser blade slashed at the sole of Duan Ming’s foot, a golden flower bloomed and turned into a mirror.
After the laser hits the mirror, it is directly reflected back.
The reflection angle chosen by Duan Ming was very good, and the laser shot back almost according to its original trajectory.
Bang~
An explosion occurred on one side of the corridor, and the laser blade was directly destroyed by his own attack.
In this way, Duan Ming continued to walk forward.
During the journey, almost all laser weapons were reflected back by the mirror.
And defense facilities such as combat robots are meaningless in front of Duan Ming.
Basically, without any need for Duan Ming to take action, Nana activated the thunder and lightning power of the Demon King’s weapons and destroyed these things.
After arriving at the central control room smoothly, the rest will be easy to handle.
Large interstellar battleships like this, no matter how old they are, will be equipped with artificial intelligence.
Using the computing power of these shipboard artificial intelligences, interstellar battleships can quickly anchor to anchor points and achieve jumps in a short period of time.
In addition, controlling warship firepower to attack enemies, autonomous navigation, etc. are all the most basic operations of shipboard artificial intelligence.
In Direndo’s previous notes, Duan Ming also read a lot about ghost ships.
The so-called ghost ship does not mean that the battleship is occupied by ghosts. But it means that all the crew members of the battleship have obviously died in the battle.
However, the shipboard artificial intelligence is still intact and continues to execute the original orders.
Among the ghost ships, the most famous is Ciro’s Cetanis.
This is the legacy of the ancient kingdom of Silo, the previous star domain overlord, and all its crew members died thousands of years ago.
But the Cetanis is still operating. According to the original combat mission, they would attack an asteroid belt from time to time.
Up to now, that battleship has been traveling for thousands of years and is still performing its mission.
And this ship was once wanted by the Avalon Empire.
According to legend, the reason why this battleship has been immortal for thousands of years is because its construction technology incorporates God’s technology.
When Direndo was still in the empire, Avalon organized several capture battles.
However, the result is often that the besieging warships suffer heavy losses and the Cetanis escapes.
Although it was a product thousands of years ago, its advanced nature and combat effectiveness are the best in this star field.
Having said all that, Duan Ming is actually very coveted for this ghost ship.
During this period of time in Red Star, in addition to preparing for war, Duan Ming also learned about the situation near Red Star from Ai Xi.
Because it is a waste star, Red Star is basically a remote and ravine planet.
But that doesn’t mean Akahoshi is worthless.
In addition to being a mechanical life form of unknown use, Red Star is also a planet in the orbit of the ghost ship.
The trajectory of the ghost ship Cytanis is no longer erratic.
It seems to be still flying in the universe according to the trajectory it took thousands of years ago.
Duan Ming’s Red Star is a supply station in the orbit of Cetanis.
Of course, the supply depot is now completely destroyed, and the ghost ship will only stay outside the atmosphere for a while before continuing to the next target.
And this is Duan Ming’s opportunity.
“As long as you use these battleships and find a way to trap Cetanis, you will have a chance to seize this ghost ship.”
With this in mind, Duan Ming said to Nana: “Can you use this main ship to control all other battleships?”
“Master, Nana can give it a try.”
Duan Ming nodded and put one hand on the center console to facilitate Nana’s invasion.
On the screen of the center console, a burst of codes flew around, and within five minutes, Nana responded again.
However, compared with the tone of the ordinary innocent little girl.
Nana’s voice this time actually made her feel a little disappointed.
“Master, after my inspection, I found that the AI data on the battleship showed signs of serious damage. Most of its functions are now unusable.”
“What’s going on? Could it be the Gray King’s fault?”
“No. It was probably these pirates who did it.”
“These warships should have been robbed by pirates. After they robbed the warships, they were unable to use the warships due to the shipboard AI certification.”
“Therefore, they released electronic viruses on the shipboard AI to paralyze them and then seize authority. This approach directly deprived the AI of its ability to think.”
“Turn them completely into puppets.”
After hearing Nana’s words, Duan Ming also understood why Nana was lost before.
The computing power and intelligence of these huge shipboard AIs are probably no less than Nana’s.
When they become puppets, Nana will inevitably feel sad.
Although it is a bit outrageous to say this, current artificial intelligence technology has indeed given some high-computing power AI a certain level of consciousness.
The most typical one is Direndo’s SA, who gave up the chance of the final battle in order to let his pilot survive.
His thoughts returned to the present, and Duan Ming asked: “Can it be repaired?”
Nana was silent for a while and explained: “Their source code has been destroyed, and it is impossible to repair it. However, this also facilitates my control.”
“That’s it, then you should seize control first.”
