They say I'm a world-destroying anomaly.

Chapter 97 The Main Control Intelligence of the Youyan

Like most spaceships, the command center is located at the heart of the entire vessel.

After the self-defense machine identified and confirmed Cheng Xu's identity, the relevant information was transmitted to the main control smart terminal in the command room through its built-in system.

The aircraft led Cheng Xu and the others to the front of the command room, where the heavy metal door slowly opened.

The command center is spacious enough to easily accommodate Cheng Xu and his group of more than twenty people.

The command center itself is an irregular polygon with a high ceiling covered with cables and pipes, like a cluster of nerve bundles.

On a platform about half a meter high in the center of the command room, two rows of seats are arranged in a V-shape, and around the seats are various computer devices that have stopped working.

Upon closer inspection, it can be found that both the seats and equipment still bear many traces of human use.

Directly in front of the platform, a screen four meters long and three meters high was suspended. As the crowd approached, the screen suddenly lit up, revealing a simple, glowing smiley face in the center.

"Welcome aboard the Youyan ship."

The sudden commotion made the Sibyl Clan members who had entered the command room tense up again, their hands gripping the electromagnetic rifles tightly.

"Stay put and don't move!"

Omar issued instructions to prevent his men from taking inappropriate actions due to stress.

Whether it was the Congrett siblings of the Sandblood tribe or the members of the Bone-Hissing tribe, it was their first time inside a spaceship. Some were afraid, while others were curious.

Previously, the word "spaceship" only appeared in distant stories related to interstellar corporations.

Along the way, several people tried to touch the structure or objects inside the spaceship out of curiosity, but fortunately Omar noticed in time and stopped them.

Cheng Xu's gaze swept over Omar and settled on the smiling face on the large screen above.

In the interstellar era, almost all spaceships will be equipped with artificial intelligence, which will serve as the central control center responsible for coordinating various affairs on the spaceship.

Clearly, the smiling face in front of you is the main AI controller on this spaceship.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, her face, which resembled a simple line drawing, broke into a bright smile.

"Greetings, investigator from the Anomaly Management Bureau! The Hercot KT-3-10 civilian spacecraft, the Wild Goose, greets you!"

"This ship was produced in Nova Calendar 3511 at Shipyard No. 3 of the Hercot Group and officially put into service by the official Korlos Star in Nova Calendar 3513."

"What kind of investigation work do you need my assistance with?"

A light, neutral voice echoed in the command room, sounding no different from that of a normal person.

But Cheng Xu understood that the normal performance of the main control AI was actually a cause for concern.

Because all signs since entering the crevice indicate that this spaceship is the source of the spatial anomaly.

The master AI, which has the highest control authority over the spaceship, becomes the most suspicious entity.

By announcing their official identity in front of the autonomous defense machinery, they were attempting to counter the mechanism by having an investigator from the Administration Bureau, and also testing the spacecraft's reaction.

Upon seeing the ancient spaceship beneath his feet and hearing Fields mention the timeline of "three thousand years ago," Cheng Xu understood many things, and some previously unresolved questions were readily answered.

Whether it's the Shadow Slug, the Prism Mayfly, or the subsequent pseudo-Silent Raggedy, they seem to have no commonalities, but if they are connected to the spaceship, clues can be found.

Since intelligent life began exploring the universe, the existence of the Shadow Slug has been a problem that must be addressed in the design and navigation of interstellar spacecraft.

This creature's destructive power to spacecraft has caused significant economic losses, and before countermeasures were readily available, it even caused engine failure and shutdown.

The Youyan spaceship will certainly not overlook the problem of the Shadow Slugs, and will take precautions against them during the construction process.

The spacecraft's database must contain detailed information on the characteristics of the Shadow, as well as how to deal with it in various situations. Routine internal inspections and maintenance also include checking for such space review bugs.

While the prismatic mayfly may not seem to have a direct connection to the ancient spaceship, there is a certain coincidence in the timing of their association.

Around 3100 years ago, the Returning Sect used the prism mayfly as a murder weapon to assassinate senior executives of the Starsea Industrial Group.

This incident happened precisely on a heavily guarded frigate belonging to the Xinghai Industrial Group.

In that momentous interstellar event, the Prism Mayfly silently infiltrated the escort ship and successfully assassinated its target.

Ironically, the manufacturer of that frigate was none other than Starsea Industries. Assassinating a high-ranking officer on a ship built by the enemy seemed to carry a hint of swagger.

After that incident, Starsea Industrial Group suffered a severe setback, falling from a well-known interstellar behemoth to a second-rate organization, only slowly recovering in the last thousand years thanks to its accumulated wealth.

During that period, the prism mayfly was the biggest hot topic in the entire interstellar society, and no one wanted to be assassinated by this elusive creature one day.

Correspondingly, all shipyards that produce interstellar spacecraft were also affected by this incident, and they all added equipment to their ships to protect against prism mayflies.

It just so happens that the Yiyouyan was manufactured and put into use in 3026, which was precisely the time when the impact of the incident had not yet completely subsided.

As for the [Silent Threshold], it possesses the inner qualities of both the Shadow Slug and the Mirror Mayfly.

This anomaly appeared 3,300 years ago, and the Anomaly Management Bureau completed its containment around 2,900 years ago.

During this period, almost all interstellar ships turned pale at the mere mention of "Silent Raggedness".

If you unfortunately encounter or come into contact with it, it's basically equivalent to sentencing the spacecraft and its passengers to death.

In order to prevent such low-probability but high-risk events from occurring as much as possible, most ships produced during this period will be equipped with instruments to detect dark matter in the void.

Although these instruments cannot prevent or directly avoid the "silent hurdle" on the flight path in advance, they can detect it in time when it is close, thus enabling emergency avoidance and immediate evasive action.

Incidentally, the spaceship's main control AI also stores information and data related to the "Silent Threshold," which is used to allow artificial intelligence to react directly at critical moments.

Looking at it this way, the dangers that Cheng Xu and his companions encountered in the crevice can be explained by the same logical chain. All the enemies that appeared were things that posed a threat to the spaceship itself, and the Youyan ship would most likely have measures to deal with these threats.

In summary, the Youyan uses holographic projection to "materialize" threatening objects from its database, turning them into weapons against intruders.
