Gu Hanhan couldn't wait to set sail, but that was obviously impossible. They still had many things to prepare.
Of course, the preparation does not include dealing with the aftermath of this planet. In fact, Gu Hanhan is unable to deal with the aftermath. Apart from distributing the cosplay energy props as promised and leaving a certain number of full energy stones for them, what can Gu Hanhan do to this world? Don't do much?, so I don't mind throwing them away after use. As Mr. Li Shen said, time can solve everything. After they leave long enough, the impact of their arrival will sooner or later disappear on its own. Gu Hanhan does not deny that her arrival may cause disturbance to the future of this planet. She came here, broke its original social structure, brought profound turmoil to its people, and brought this place to What a mess. But the turmoil will eventually pass, and the disturbance will eventually disappear in the whirlpool of history. In any case, the impact will not be greater than putting the entire planet at 1.5 million times the time + speed. Therefore, in the end, all the preparations Gu Hanhan made were to prepare himself for the road.
Gu Hanhan tried to find "more" information from the spacecraft so that he could make more adequate preparations for departure. But the results of the search were obviously not ideal. After more than two thousand years, most of the data on the spacecraft had been completely damaged and could not be restored. Only a small number of voyage records, written records and images remained. There is not much information left in the records and images. It only shows that this is an intercontinental battleship built in the year 2200, and the country it belongs to is the "Empire of Shaban" - a fact that cannot be retrieved in the "Brief History of the Galaxy" in the Ring. To the country? This warship belonging to an unknown empire in ancient times seemed to have retreated with the fleet according to orders in 2296. Then it encountered an unknown ambush while passing by the planet. Its power system was seriously damaged and it had to make an emergency landing. , and finally exploded during the landing process and disintegrated. But fortunately, the text record contains part of the maintenance and operation instructions for the spacecraft, and the words and symbols are common to the galactic era, so the ring can be easily translated. So through these instructions and maintenance guides, and relying on energy brute force cracking, they finally obtained full operating authority for this dilapidated spacecraft.
After opening the permissions, the first step is of course to conduct a more comprehensive inspection of the spacecraft, making a list of all the systems, sorting out those that are intact, those that are damaged but still usable, and those that are completely damaged and cannot be started. of. For damaged ones, they have to assess the extent of the damage, consider the means of reinforcement and maintenance, and the strength it can withstand during navigation. For those that are completely unusable, you have to consider whether to directly discard this part of the function or find a way to replace it. With Gu Hanhan and Master Li Shen's mecha unable to find an energy tank and the production process and technology of this era, the possibility of repair and maintenance was completely ignored. In the end, the only thing they could do was to take action. Only energy - fortunately, on paper, there are not many problems that cannot be solved by energy?
The next thing to prepare is supplies. The issue of food is always a big problem. Because the ecosystem of the spacecraft has been completely damaged, they must bring sufficient food supplies, as well as clean water and air. It is an advantage that Master Li Shen has the ability to grow. They do not need to further consider the problem of insufficient supplies. The energy attribute of the growth system determines that as long as they bring a certain amount of soil and seeds, they will not starve to death even if they sail to the end of the universe.
After solving the problem of eating, it is time to sleep. The interior of the spacecraft is currently very damaged. The original division and isolation have been completely destroyed. There is no independent cabin that can be used as a living space. Gu Hanhan didn't have the courage to do it himself, so he simply used the bridge as a cabin and moved in the soil seeds and supplies prepared for Lord Li Shen. When the hatch was closed, Lord Li Shen's energy Once the market opens, it is a perfect small ecosystem.
The last issue is that of power and energy, which is also the most difficult level. The power system is one of the most seriously damaged parts of the spacecraft. The spacecraft itself has a main power system and two backup power systems. The main power system has been completely destroyed by the explosion. One of the two backup systems also has serious problems. Faulty, only the other set is barely usable. The energy system actually does not match the energy stone in Gu Hanhan's hand. Its energy extraction method is too old. The power furnace is still a crystal array type and cannot handle the release intensity of high-quality energy stones. Once it is put in, It’s definitely going to blow up the pot. Gu Hanhan didn't dare to rashly remove the mecha's buffer and put it into the spacecraft's energy furnace to mess around with it. In the end, all they had to do was dig out all the discarded force stones from several major warehouses in the royal capital, fill them with energy and send them to the spaceship. That was originally the energy source provided by the spacecraft, so it was suitable for use. As for the damage to the power system, there was nothing that could be done about it. Gu Hanhan couldn't repair it. Anyway, a backup system could be used. There was nothing wrong with it except that the efficiency was lower and the risk factor was higher. Once there is an irreversible danger, Gu Hanhan is also ready to completely scrap the power system and use the mecha's energy output as an alternative to drive the spacecraft.
There are still many kinds of troubles, but they are all minor problems. Gu Hanhan prepared everything he could. If he couldn't prepare, he was mentally prepared to fight with energy. It took him a total of ten days to complete all the preparations and officially set sail into the vast universe. .
On the night before leaving, the natives held a very grand sacrificial ceremony for them in the square of the ruins, which moved Gu Hanhan quite a lot. So after she was assigned the cospaly props, she carried the spaceship up to the sky without looking back.
In view of the dilapidated condition of the spacecraft, Gu Hanhan and Li Shen did not dare to take the risk of actually letting it fly. Instead, they could only take turns flying with it. When it completely flies out of the gravitational range of the star system and enters the void, and starts the space jump, Gu Hanhan can only operate the jump, while Li Shen deploys an energy field to tightly restrain the spacecraft to prevent it from going anywhere. The leaky old spaceship disintegrated directly under the pressure of space. And? Even so, the violent shaking when the space equipment is started is enough to make people tremble. It is as if the entire spacecraft will shatter into dust in the next second.
Gu Hanhan was actually quite confident about crossing the isolation zone and returning to the civilized world, but it was not enough for her to just drive a broken old ship with wind leakage from all sides and hit the road without hesitation. But when the strong light burst out and the spacecraft crashed into the space crack with a loud tearing sound, Gu Hanhan couldn't help but feel timid. She almost regretted setting off and felt numb for her haste.
But fortunately, the jump was successful. The old broken hull, which was about to disintegrate, withstood the huge pressure of the moment of space jump and completed the shuttle. Of course, due to the serious damage to the main power system, only one backup power system can be used for the entire spacecraft. Due to the serious lack of energy efficiency, the final distance that can be jumped is only one light-year.
This not only encouraged Gu Hanhan, but also made her feel a little scared from the bottom of her heart. The width of the isolation zone is at least a thousand light years. Gu Hanhan didn't know where they fell. So just based on average estimates, even if they were heading in the right direction and didn't make any mistakes, the spacecraft would have to jump at least five hundred times in a row to get out of this black canyon. And if they make a mistake, it may be three to five times, or even ten times as likely as five hundred times. This number was so terrifying that Gu Hanhan only thought about it for a moment and almost didn't dare to think about it in detail.
But in any case, the jump was successful, which meant that they could continue to move forward, and that they had the possibility to break through the darkness and leave this restricted universe. But if we don't continue to move forward, there will be no possibility of getting out. Li Shen obviously thought so too. He drove the spacecraft to continue flying forward along with the driving force coming out of the space. After a while, when the spacecraft's condition was stable, he returned to the bridge, contracted the energy field to tighten the hull, and signaled at the same time Gu Hanhan started jumping again. Gu Hanhan pressed the start button hard. When the spacecraft jumped, she subconsciously leaned toward Li Shen and grabbed his hand, as if he had become her only support in this hesitation and darkness. Now they have no way to turn back, they can only continue to work together on this broken ship and stick to each other to move forward.
The direction of the spacecraft's jump was chosen by Li Shen. In the navigation system of the spacecraft, they could not find any direction guidance for reference. The database did have fragments of star maps from the early imperial era, but they were very different from the current ones, and That's of no value without coordinate calibration. So we can only rely on superstition and draw lots to decide according to the tradition of space navigation, and after choosing, we have to keep jumping in this direction. This is very reasonable. Even if you get the worst lottery, as long as the direction remains unchanged, you will be able to get out sooner or later if you keep jumping. This is at least more reliable than jumping around aimlessly.
Jumping, sliding, and jumping again, they quickly adapted to this rhythm. In this eternal darkness, time becomes meaningless, and only the clock of the ring faithfully records its flow. There will be several hours of taxiing time after each jump. That is their rest time. They need a little entertainment to kill the boredom of sailing and the endless despair in this endless darkness, and their energy field also needs Another form of maintenance and supplies. Whenever it is time to take a break without jumping, Gu Hanhan will open her ring and start communication search. It was Li Shen who reminded her at the beginning.
"There may be a signal," he said.
The signal means that an aircraft carrying communication equipment appears in the nearby starry sky. In the star map of the isolation zone, it can only be a rescue force. Gu Hanhan didn't know if Li Shen had secretly sent a signal for help or even received some kind of feedback. She didn't see any ring secrets or anything like that on him. It was possible that he If he didn't bring it, it might be in hidden mode, but Gu Hanhan had never investigated it further. But she knew very well that if there was a signal, then the possibility of a rescue signal from Li Tang was infinitely greater than coming to save her. Of course, there was no point worrying about this now. Gu Hanhan just hoped that there would be a signal, no matter where it came from.
The signal never came, until the supply bread they carried was consumed, the wheat grown by Master Li Shen harvested the first wave, and they began to figure out how to grind flour.
It was the sixteenth day of their voyage into the black universe. A "Handmade Guide" was open in Gu Hanhan's ring and opened to the chapter of "Hand-Made". Lord Li Shen was playing with a broken piece of metal. While Gu Hanhan and I were immersed in research, the sign that the signal search connection was successful suddenly came on.
Gu Hanhan thought for a moment that she was hallucinating, and then she rushed over and picked up the ring. After confirming it, she sat down on the ground.
She turned to look at Li Shen and said dryly: "There's a signal."
Li Shen's hand that broke the metal was stunned for a moment, then he put down the metal and walked over.
Gu Hanhan's heart was filled with several emotions in an instant. She looked at Li Shen with mixed emotions and asked softly: "Are we going out?"
"There is no signal at the border," Li Shen paused before saying truthfully, "Even if there is, it will only be at the Lanhe border..."
