The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1116 A Brand New Look
"Get to work?"

Helena was shocked.

“Hmm.” Yoda nodded. “The commander reassigned everyone to departments based on a test called ‘Four Symbols Observation of the Mind.’ Everyone has to work.”

Although she couldn't understand what the test was, Helena sneered inwardly—

It's the same everywhere, as expected.

They were simply transformed from employees of the Covin Group into slaves of those natives.

However, it cannot be denied that the living area has changed significantly. After walking through the bright and clean passageway outside and entering the inner layer of the living area, one can finally see people.

Many scavengers are busy going up and down.

Some were moving supplies, some were building honeycomb-shaped compartments, and others were opening the bulkheads and carving strange patterns under the guidance of some kind of golden tentacles.

The atmosphere was quite lively, showing no signs of the dejection or discouragement one might feel as a "slave." In fact, they were dressed neatly, had clear eyes, and looked even more energetic than before.

Helena could also sense a certain aura lingering in the air, which caused a slight loosening of the bottleneck that had been stagnant within her body for a long time.

You should know that she has now reached the strategic peak.

Unless a special opportunity arises that allows her abilities to break through to the "unknowable" level, she will forever remain at this stage.

But here...

She actually sensed a glimmer of opportunity!
How can this be?

She originally wanted to go to those native planets for this sliver of opportunity, but everything failed. She thought there was no chance left, but who would have thought that this sliver of opportunity would appear on her own ship.
Could it be that those "natives" have mastered...?

impossible!
How could the "natives" know a secret that even these scavengers wouldn't know?
However, the facts seem to be right in front of us.

It might even exceed her imagination.

He glanced at Oze, who seemed to be in shock as well, looking around, not even noticing Helena's gaze.

But Helena didn't know that what shocked Oze was different from what she was experiencing.

Ozer didn't expect that although he was imprisoned by the ring and cut off from the main brain, his senses were not blocked.

He can still clearly "see" the changes on the Kowwen.

He knew that the current Coveyne was undergoing a radical and transformative overhaul that was beyond his comprehension.

Keep in mind, he is the Chief Technology Officer.

He personally oversaw the commissioning of the cruiser after the Coveyne Group purchased it from Bell Labs.

Therefore, he was familiar with every line and every module on the Coveyne.

Today, new modules are constantly being generated, and energy flows between these modules in a strange pattern, no longer following the technological logic he knew. New things are being created, as if growing exponentially.

By the way, as if it were alive, the Coveyne is transforming into another kind of being!
A strange existence!

He couldn't explain this feeling.

But he knew something was wrong.

"What on earth are you doing?!"

"Do you know how dangerous it is to make such haphazard modifications?"

"With your kind—"

Oze swallowed the words that were about to come to his lips.

"You've never been to school, you haven't received any systematic training, how dare you tamper with the ship's systems?"

"If the wiring goes wrong and causes energy disorder, whether it's the life support system, the gravity system, or even physical damage, then the entire Coveyne will be dragged down with it!"

Yoda bowed his head and said, "Lord Feng, you may not know this, but all our current transformations are being carried out under the guidance of 'The World'."

Ozer was taken aback: "What 'world'?"

"That's an intelligent entity brought by the Earth Mother Civilization, and it's the one that's controlling the main brain of the Coveyon now."

Earth Mother Civilization?

This is the first time I've ever heard the name of that indigenous civilization.

It turned out to be quite formal.

As for the "intelligent agent"? It can even control the mainframe?

Helena and Ozer simply couldn't reconcile this with the backward indigenous civilization they had imagined.

"When you communicated with that Li Xuan, she didn't mention any of these things?"

Oze hesitated for a long time:

"She doesn't have much of a chance to use that 'Heavenly Ear Lake,' and we don't dare to transmit information that's too detailed or direct, for fear that those guys from the Colorful Star will receive it..."

"So I knew that it was an experimental field built by the Federal Empire based on an abandoned planet. I also knew that the Federal Empire usually carried out technological erasure before withdrawing from the colony, leaving behind nothing but a bunch of ancient natives..."

As he uttered the last word, Ozer's particle form suddenly trembled violently, as if his program had been disrupted. His whole body twisted, and he could no longer speak coherently.

Helena was furious: "What are you doing! Let him go right now!"

“I can’t do anything about it,” Yoda shrugged. “It’s because he spoke insolently, and ‘the world’ is punishing him.”

The scavengers also heard the commotion, but they only glanced at the scene briefly before continuing their work.

Helena was even angrier now.

"You bunch of ingrates! The company provided you with food and clothing, helped you awaken and evolve, and even gave you work. And now? You don't even recognize us?"

Everyone looked at each other.

An older scavenger stepped forward:
“I’m sorry, Mr. President… Miss Kovien, of course we recognize you and Lord Feng, but we want to finish our work as soon as possible and then go to class and practice.”

“Yes,” another gaunt scavenger said. “We’re all just working odd jobs, we don’t have much of a choice. Whoever can give us a better life, we’ll follow.”

"At least we now know... that we actually have the opportunity to live like human beings."

After the man finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, bowed deeply to Helena, and then went back to their work.

Helena's face turned pale and then red, and she was speechless for a moment.

Yoda understood Helena's anger.

“Miss, let me give you a piece of advice: talk to the commander first. Your doubts and even your anger will be answered. There’s no need to rush.”

Helena's face quickly turned to Yoda, and she sneered:
"What? Has our Covin Group mistreated you, making you act like a scumbag? We entrusted you with a cruiser that can hold tens of thousands of people, and this is how you steer it?"

Yoda slumped his shoulders and shook his head.

"Yes, I am guilty..."

"So after I finish receiving you two, I will go to prison to atone for my sins."

Its towering body shrank into a wrinkled mess.

It was only then that Helena remembered that Yoda was actually an old man, and that his health had been depleted from years of fighting and injecting himself with various drugs.

Feeling a pang of guilt, I softened my tone slightly:
"Fine, I'll see what kind of person this commander you keep talking about is, someone who can make you so devoted."

And the punishment on Ozer's side finally stopped. "Let me... take a look too..."

His voice was broken and intermittent, almost incoherent, and his entire body was in disarray, like a pot of boiling porridge, making him completely unrecognizable as human.

There was no word for a moment. The group silently walked through the corridor and arrived at the trading center in the center of the lower living area.

What came into view was not the dark, chaotic, bloody, and sinful flea market that Helena remembered, but instead a spacious and bright area.

Light streamed down from above, making it as bright as day. The circular staircase was filled with scavengers, and in the center was a large light screen with intricate patterns and designs.

A golden figure stood beneath the light screen, giving a clear explanation.

Yoda stopped and bowed deeply to the figure in the distance.

"That's our commander."

"Liu Sheng".

Yoda spoke with a face full of respect and admiration.

The scavengers on the steps also had similar expressions, and they were taking notes as they listened, their thirst for knowledge something Helena had never seen before.

This kind of thing only exists in places full of hope, how could it appear on these guys' faces?
“What are you doing?” Ozer asked.

"This is a class."

“Going to class? Gathering scraps…you guys?” Oze’s voice was broken and filled with surprise.

"Yes."

Yoda looked on with a sigh.

"Lord Feng just expressed his concerns, and Commander Liu certainly knows that we can't let people who haven't received systematic training do the ship modification work. That's why they're training them right now!"

Ozer couldn't believe that something like this could be accomplished so quickly.

"Now... should it take five standard days to get started?"

"We're just learning the operating procedures and principles. When we're actually working, 'the world' is providing real-time guidance, so we don't worry about making mistakes."

"What are you trying to modify? This is a Bell Labs product! Besides, I've already modified it once. What do you guys know?"

Oze was indignant, and his voice grew louder and louder.

The scavengers in front turned around abruptly, their faces showing impatience at being disturbed.

Yoda whispered a reminder: "Please keep your voices down, don't disturb the class."

Oze gave a light scoff.

But the golden figure in the center remained undisturbed, continuing to speak calmly and steadily:

“We have just explained that the life support system needs to add a production module in order to achieve self-sufficiency. There is also the oxygen circulation system, which has insufficient oxygen content, so you always feel dizzy and drowsy.”

The scavengers listening to the lecture suddenly realized:

"So that's why we're always like this?"

"I thought I had to absorb the 'echo' to do it!"

The golden figure continued:

"These two aspects complement each other. Through the modules just explained, we can construct an ecological cycle system that meets our needs..."

"In addition, there is another reason for the fatigue and drowsiness issue mentioned earlier—your protection module is only the most basic 'super shield'."

"In other words, the mechanically driven particle reflection basic protective force field can only defend against attacks of kinetic and thermal energy, but it cannot completely isolate the influence of the strange particles in the void."

"So you often feel irritable, violent, and bloodthirsty, and even have strange hallucinations. The most serious consequence is that you fall into the path of demonic transformation. Since you evolved through the path of demonic transformation, you are practically standing on the edge of the abyss."

Everyone suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

"I thought this was a side effect of 'echo'..."

"It turns out we've been influenced all along."

"No wonder scavengers retire so quickly; it's become the most dangerous profession on the planet..."

Someone chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Of course, if it weren't dangerous, we wouldn't be the ones doing it."

Oze's face alternated between pale and dark; unable to deny the issue, he could only say angrily:
"Only Bell Labs has the technology to create more advanced shields, but how can we afford the price..."

Yoda shook his head.

"Ha!" Ozer's voice hissed. "Does that mean she can?"

At this moment, Liu Sheng changed the subject:
"Therefore, we must add a new module—"

The light screen above changed, and new patterns appeared, forming a complex set of rune patterns.

At the same time, the formulas unfolded, illustrating the intricate relationship between energy and array patterns.

"...Through this array pattern, we can construct a quantum deviation matrix on the bulkhead. When the strange particles intrude, they will be guided and deflected, transforming into our newly built source particle energy array. The specific modification steps are as follows..."

She explained everything in detail, and the scavengers below diligently wrote it down.

Ozer fell completely silent.

Although Yoda couldn't see his face clearly, he could sense the shock in his heart from the rotation of the particle stream.

"Array patterns..."

"A pattern from ancient ruins...?"

Yoda nodded: "It should be. I didn't expect Commander Liu to know, and it seems that she adjusted and modified it based on our existing route on the Coveyne."

Ozer was completely speechless.

The particle cloud silently drifted down the steps, as if it had sat down, and listened to the narration of the golden figure in the center. The originally restless particle porridge was also calmed down.

It vibrated rapidly, as if it were thinking and absorbing information.

Helena was also taken aback.

She originally came to negotiate because she thought that they were just a group of natives who had inexplicably hijacked the Kovin by sheer luck. With the financial resources, material resources, and technology of the Kovin Group, she could surely get them to hand over the people and the ship peacefully.

But judging from the submissive manner of these scavengers, it's clear that they have lost their humanity.

The other party is also modifying this ship as if it were their own.

Although Ozer was arrogant and refused to admit it, Helena clearly sensed that the modifications made by the other party were truly effective.

That's why there was such a bright and comfortable light source, fresh and pleasant air, and that subtle aura that could help her break through...

Not to mention the commander named "Liu Sheng" who was giving a lecture in the central area; just by looking at Oze's appearance, you could tell that he was truly capable.

Therefore, the "bargains" she had prepared were completely useless.

If it involves force...

Even if she could defeat Ozer, it would be difficult to turn the tide even if she summoned the group law enforcement officers from the escort ship.

No wonder the Kowven, with its hundreds of strategic-level new humans, was utterly defeated.

Because Helena was certain that the Commander Liu before her was the legendary "Unknown One".
