Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 858 - 613 Test Flight

"Are we really going this time?" Gu Lan's eyes widened, full of interest.

"But the last exploration failed. Wen Jie said that our current technology has a fatal flaw that can't be overcome. Can the leader still go again under such circumstances?"

"That was under the assumption that there might not be aliens outside. But this time, it's confirmed! Even if we have to sell everything, we must go!"

When they heard that there were other people on a different planet in this game, the happiest ones were these players.

Especially Gong Yan and Kuang Xin, who carried the same secret in their hearts, exchanged a cautious glance.

In fact, the many characteristics displayed by this game made them increasingly believe that it was a real world.

Especially after activating the "Real Game" option, and gaining extraordinary abilities in reality that they previously only had in the game, they became even more certain of this.

It was possible that their real world was somewhere in a corner of this universe.

The so-called game might be some sort of spatial gateway; the game world and the real world could actually just be two planets in the same universe.

In the game, they must venture out!

It might allow their leader to find the planet they were on and protect them as well.

Relying solely on their own power in the real world, it was difficult to grow strong enough to face high-dimensional demons alone.

In the game world, they had been dealing with these situations for a long, long time and had developed a more mature system of resistance.

"We have to go! Absolutely!" Kuang Xin's face lit up with excitement. "We should go find the boss; he'll definitely believe us."

The NPCs in this game world had unexpectedly responsive reactions to their words. Even if they took no relevant physical actions in the game, any words they spoke would elicit feedback from the NPCs.

It was as if those NPCs understood that the players could connect on another level.

As for whether that feedback was positive or negative, it depended on the individual relationships between the players and the NPCs.

With sufficient favorability, the things they said were generally accepted by the NPCs.

For example, they had never been untruthful in front of the leader.

"As long as it's confirmed that there are indeed aliens outside, the leader and the others will likely commence a second interstellar voyage very soon. There's no time to waste—we need to find the leader now!" Dai Lian, the decision-maker of the group, voiced his final opinion, his eyes also brimming with excitement.

...

"The experiment was essentially successful." Helen's face radiated contentment.

The experiment involving replacing the Starship's central control system with a biological main brain was proceeding remarkably smooth.

No matter how much expertise or unbelievable luck those old soldiers had, the biological central system they created worked perfectly even after years of being shelved and gathering dust.

This system's computational power was even slightly higher than that of a typical electronic system, and replacing it had no adverse effect on the Starship's operations.

"The only concern is the potential instability of this system."

Though the system, composed of the brains of those old soldiers, bestowed a certain brilliance of ingenuity, human brains inherently carried the risk of emotional turbulence, which could affect computational power and judgment.

Beyond its initial debut and basic diagnostics, this entire system had never undergone long-term practical operation.

To Helen, as a scientist, its lack of a trial by time signified a certain level of risk in its use.

"As long as it works, that's enough."

At a time when this solution was the only option, a little risk couldn't deter Bai E's thirst for exploration.

"Let's activate it and try it out."

It was an apt moment to also test whether Bai E's newly acquired high-dimensional space teleportation ability could handle the entire Starship.

...

On the familiar plain, Bai E led Helen and Feng Ling, among others, aboard the Starship.

To adapt it to the brand-new central control system, the Starship had undergone significant modifications, contrasting with its previously mechanical and steel-heavy appearance.

The semi-biological, semi-mechanical cables twitched faintly like living organisms, while various indicators throughout the Starship pulsed like slow, rhythmic breaths.

Scattered surveillance cameras seemed to have noticed Bai E's party's entry, and an unsettling sense of being watched crept up their spines.

The old-soldiers' brains, still retaining traces of human consciousness, were curiously observing these sudden intruders.

Upon entering the control room, their eyes were first drawn to the concentric rings of soldier heads slowly rotating, interconnected by countless cables.

The various faces of old soldier heads were fixed along the outer edges of several metal rings, uniformly stacked around a cylindrical structure at the center, rotating slowly. freewebnσvel.cøm

The cables extending throughout the Starship originated from this cylindrical core at the heart of the system.

Though the cameras scattered throughout the Starship showed signs of observing Bai E's group, the individual soldier heads comprising the biological main brain system displayed no notable reaction to their arrival.

The slack-jawed, wide-eyed but expressionless soldier heads had distinct human features yet radiated an eerie lifelessness.

This contrast between signs of life and death cast an unsettlingly bizarre atmosphere over the entire control room.
