Chapter 453: Major Makeover
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Y’zaks was called out of the control room. Along with him ca the hyperactive little Y’lisabet and deapanned Zadamor. Needless to say, they had been burying their heads in the pile of peculiar, high-tech gadgets. Y’zaks’ face instantly turned anxious once he saw Hao Ren.
Hao Ren waved to motion the two elven aides to go to their boss for a debrief while he laughed. “Worried? Millions of interstellar marines and thousands of spacecrafts are now heading towards this city from the border of the bubble zone. They will be arriving in a day at the soonest. I ca back first, so that we could arrange things around here, and et the Aerymian elves a day later and go back out.”
Actually, what the Aerymian elves sent were not interstellar marines. Hao Ren made it up because it felt so much cooler…
Y’zaks was all happy anyway. anwhile, Ysre and Aylu had been debriefed on their mission in planet Aerym. Basically, it was about Hilda’s attitude towards Helcrown and the “diplomatic rhetoric” she wanted to send to the people of Helcrown. Y’zaks nodded and listened attentively. He then waved his hand. “Well, it’s just as I expected. Hey, Hilda and I are acquaintances too. The Aerymian elves are truly brotherly.”
“After this, you’ll have all the ti on your side to exchange feelings with the Aerymian elves.” Hao Ren raised his finger, pointing in the direction of the wreckage. “Are you free now? I’m thinking that we bring a few n to fix the wreckge first, at least make it flyable. Waste no ti, because when we et with the Aerymian elves, we’ll have to fly back out straightaway. We can’t wait for them to install the engine. Let’s do it ourselves.”
“Go and assemble all the ethereal engineers as well as the dwarven craftsn,” Y’zaks turned to Zadamor. “Also, order the other demon technicians to co.”
Zadamor left to carry out his orders. Hao Ren quickly added, “Don’t gather in the city, go directly to the wreckage!”
A large group of technicians were soon called up and assembled at the massive spaceship wreckage. Hundreds of kiloters of giant spaceship was crazily huge. Hundreds of engineering teams gather on a single piece of deck. That was how massive the thing was!
The spot where the team assembled had long been cleared out when Y’lisabet established her long-term exploration base camp there. The huge and flat armour plate were covered with gravity array and runes which regulated air and temperature, forming a considerable large area of livable environnt. The base had temporary buildings and facilities built with osidian, which indicated that people often lived here for a short period of ti. In fact, when “Y’lisabet planned to build a small town on the shell of the wreckage, the construction materials actually ca from the salvaged terials.
The little girl had even planned to use the resources of this alien dinsion to rebuild the empire, at least to construct a stronghold. Judging from the size of the spaceship wreckage, her plan seed highly workable. It was said that the girl had even written a reconstruction masterplan, but the plan failed to be carried out because she found herself unable to cut the ‘steel’ plates out from the spacecraft.
It was really a scene of Yuanmou man eting the Zentradi technology. The alien race which had been defeated in this place two hundred thousand years ago was at least seven generation ahead technologically than the now indigenous people in the region. Y’lisabet had been knocking herself out and still could not even loosen a bolt from the spacecraft. Until she finally cut two or three pieces of material down from it, then she realised the amount of worn out tools was more than the materials she had salvaged.
In short, ambitious work of the demon girl had to be set aside for the ti being, as here the engineers of Helcrown had been assembled, and the number was unexpectedly more than anticipated. So it seed Hao Ren’s worry of insufficient manpower was no more a problem. In fact, this was rather a matter of course. As when Helcrowm was under siege, those who survived till the end must be the high-value group of people given the utmost protection right from the beginning. What was the most valuable resource according to Y’zaks? Knowledge is power—it was talent! So there was no wonder half of the population of Helcrown were scientists!
Hao Ren opened the dinsional pocket and was about to clear out so stuff. Then a dinsional door suddenly erged out of a distorted space before a silver quirky polyhedron was pushed out from the door by by several autonomous robots. The polyhedron was about three to four tres in height, shining in tallic luster. So of the alloy polygon covers had lights flashing with Aerymian words dancing on it.
In short, the thing was very high-tech, at least it seed so to this world.
Then the squid-like autonomous robots ran around Hao Ren playfully. Y’lisabet could not hold back her curiosity and lunged toward one of the squid robots. “What is this thing?” She asked curiously.
The squid robot was stunned by her sudden appearance, but due to the commands in the squid robot which identified her as a ‘friendly’ party, it did not retaliate but could only keep dodging left and right. Finally, it laid itself on the floor like a ball of yarn with all its tentacles retracted. Then Y’lisabat drew out a screwdriver and poked the ball of robotic tentacles and muttered, “This thing is really interesting.”
Hao Ren gave Y’zaks a glare and said, “Shouldn’t you keep your daughter under control?”
Y’zaks smiled wryly as he stepped forward and lifted the demon girl onto his shoulder with his fingers. “Let’s continue. By the way, what’s this thing?”
“It’s a gravity regulator which has been been decommissioned from the floating islands in Aerym,” said Hao Ren, pointing to the polyhedron device. “Those floating islands have been stabilized, and none of these things are in use now. Hilda keeps a whole lot of them in the warehouse, and are ready to be recycled. I have asked so from her. You should place them in every corner of the spaceship wreckage. The effective range of each gravity regulator is ten kilotres in radius. I would like at least two of them to be placed in each effective range, got it?”
Y’zaks nodded and before he could say anything, Y’lisabet had slipped down his arm, and patted the huge polyhedron device excitedly. “A device can produce ten kilotres radius of gravity magic? Oh gosh! The largest magic array is only less than two kiloters across!”
Hao Ren glared at the mischievous child, face full of caution. “Please put down the evil screwdriver in your hand?” he demanded.
The little girl tucked away her tool and looked curiously up at the displayed text on the panel of the polyhedron. “What is it written?”
Hao Ren rolled his eyes. “THIS SIDE UP,” he said.
Y’lisabet, “…..”
The makeover of the wrecked spacecraft was carried out incessantly. Technicians of Helcrown who could operate in space were all out installing the gravity regulators in every corner of the wreckage. It was a stressful operation as they had to totally make over this hundred-kiloter-long wreckage in just a day, but since Y’zaks had promised the moon, Hao Ren could only trust those technicians.
It was fortunate that the installation of these gravity regulators did not require the use of high technology. As a key installation of floating island, these gravity regulators were self-sustaining in the best possible way, could operate for months in the absence of an external power supply, and be mounted physically anywhere and yet worked safely. During the two days in planet Aerym, Hilda had let her elven engineers add a networked control system to the gravity regulators, allowing Hao Ren to control them with just a remote control.
The task of Y’zaks’ engineers was to mount these alien technologies securely all over the spacecraft, even with rivets…
Hao Ren could not imagine such high-tech equipnt could be worked with such low tech tools, but since Hilda had vowed that these gravity regulators would work well in any circumstances, he could only wait and looked forward to see how a space fortress could fly safely in space with just rivets, super glue, cast iron bolts, wire rope as patch. If pictures of this unprecedented scene were posted on the information link of the local universe, it was totally possible that the post would be pinned on the top for at least half a year. By the way, he had even got the title for the thread already.
anwhile, the inhabitants of many planes in this world were ushering in a frenzied day.
The mighty fleet of Aerymian elves had made it across the desolate desert on the fringe of the bubble zone and now were roaring and flying past over the heads of the locals.
Checkpoint soldiers all over the world were all surprised as countless generals gazed up and found those unidentified flying objects blazing through the sky. They all asked the sa question:
Where are those things coming from?
