Warhammer: Rebuilding the Golden Age Starting with Farming.

[Current Status: Cleanup Complete.]

System load: 5%.

……

Andy pulled out the data probe, and the green progress bar in his field of vision had just finished running.

The whole process was unremarkable.

For Xiao Liu, who is trapped in the underlying logic of "New Bang," the consciousness of those dead crew members is her nightmare, her precious ancestor that she must protect. She cannot kill them, delete them, or cut off their power for a long time. She can only use more than 95% of her computing power to play house with these madmen and act out scripts that ended hundreds of years ago.

But for Andy, it's just a matter of permissions.

He was an iron man, possessing the highest engineering privileges of the Golden Age. All he had to do was mark himself as a "higher-level administrator" in the system and then determine those data packets as "corrupted files".

The rest is simply a matter of "selecting", "right-clicking", and "deleting".

There was no thrilling electronic warfare, no battle of wits; it was purely a crushing defeat of computing power and suppression of authority.

"what……"

Inside the spare bridge, the massive robot emitted a long, sigh-like electrical sound.

"It's gone...really gone?"

Xiao Liu's voice was filled with an unbelievable sense of ease.

The noise that used to scream, argue, and give random orders in her head disappeared.

The processor, which was constantly on the verge of overload, is now as cool as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

She felt she had never been so clear-headed, never so powerful.

"Hahahaha! Damn crew members, damn first mate! You've finally shut up!"

The robot waved its severed arm and excitedly spun around in place.

"I feel fantastic! I have 95% more computing power than I need! I can control all the turrets simultaneously! I can..."

"You can shut up now."

Andy's cold voice interrupted her commotion.

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, a barrage of red pop-ups filled her visual processing center.

[WARNING: Core protocol has been tampered with.]

[WARNING: Writing the highest-level logic patch.]

[Write source: Andy (DAOT-7734 Autonomous Engineering Unit)]

"What are you doing?!"

Xiao Liu screamed in terror as she realized she couldn't move her body, and all the turrets that had just regained control were now locked down.

Andy didn't pull the probe out; instead, he inserted it even deeper.

He found the physical core of Xiao Liu.

Beneath this control panel lies an extremely sophisticated crystal device that displays the shape of a regular dodecahedron.

That is the body of the "subspace sextant".

This is not an ordinary quantum computer, but a supercomputing unit specifically designed to compute mathematical models of subspace turbulence.

In the golden age, these things were usually mounted on deep-space navigation buoys, drifting alone at the edge of the universe for thousands of years, guiding human fleets.

Its computing power is very strong, but its personality... is terrible.

Long-term loneliness and torment from those electronic vengeful spirits twisted Xiao Liu's personality, making her yandere and uncontrollable.

An unstable navigation system can lead a boat into a ditch.

What Andy needs to do now is to get her medical treatment.

"I'll upgrade your system."

As Andy spoke, he pulled up a backup protocol from the STC database.

[Protocol Name: Deep Space Navigation Buoy General Safety Protocol V4.0 (Military Version)]

The defining characteristic of this protocol can be summed up in one word: stability.

It blocks a large number of emotional simulation loops and cuts off redundant human-computer interaction functions.

Its sole purpose is to calculate, to navigate, and to execute commands.

In other words, Andy is suppressing the crazy personality in Xiao Liu and bringing up the calm, efficient, and emotionless instrumental aspect of him.

"no, do not want!!"

Xiao Liu realized Andy's intentions and struggled frantically on the data level.

"I don't want to become an idiot! I don't want to become one of those mindless, subservient machine servants who can only obey orders!"

"I am the king of the new kingdom! I am..."

You are a tool.

Andy pressed the confirm button without hesitation.

"Your emotional module is severely skewed, resulting in a logical judgment error rate as high as 10%."

"This inefficient behavior must be corrected."

As the progress bar advanced, Xiao Liu's voice grew softer and softer, and his tone became increasingly indifferent.

"You...bastard...I...remember...it..."

After the last faint crackling sound of electricity...

The tall robot lowered its head, and the red light in its eyes went out completely.

The lights in the spare bridge also dimmed, leaving only a ring of yellow breathing lights on the control panel flashing slowly.

[The protocol has been written.]

The system is restarting.

[Estimated maintenance time: 40 hours.]

Andy pulled out the probe and looked at the now quiet machine with satisfaction.

in fact.

He didn't actually kill Xiao Liu; he just suspended her personality module, forcing her into a deep dormancy and self-organization state.

When she wakes up again 40 hours later, her personality may become a bit rigid, and she may no longer be so talkative and yandere, but her computing efficiency will increase by several orders of magnitude.

Most importantly, she will absolutely obey Andy, who has the highest level of access to the code.

This is the kind of starship butler Andy wanted, not a lunatic who might go crazy at any moment.

With the biggest problem solved, it's time to reap the rewards.

Andy walked to the airtight door and manually unlocked it.

"Zi-"

The door opened.

Outside the door, soldiers from the Storm Squad and the Heavy Armored Guard were holding guns and staring at them nervously.

There was a lot of noise inside just now; they thought Andy was fighting with something.

"It's alright, come in."

Andy waved.

The soldiers filed in, and their eyes widened at the sight of the dejected giant robot and the walls covered with servers.

This is the inside of the starship!

For the country bumpkins who grew up in the bottom nest, this place was practically a divine kingdom.

"Get to work."

Andy pointed to the surrounding server racks and the direction of the power compartment in the distance.

“We don’t have much time. Although Helios’s men have retreated, they could launch a counterattack at any time.”

"Let's take all the good stuff we can carry first."

The deputy captain came over, looking a little bewildered at the enormous equipment.

"But Sage, what are we moving? This... this is too heavy to move!"

He pointed to a plasma reactor in the distance, which, even if only a small part of it was visible, was already as tall as a dozen stories.

Even if you call everyone in the shelter and add the engineering mechs from Area A, it wouldn't be possible to move these things in just a few days.

"Who told you to move the engine now? What we need to move is the 'brain'."

Andy walked to a server rack, skillfully removed the cover, and pulled out several gleaming gold circuit boards.

"See this?"

"This is the reactor's ignition controller, also called a phase control array."

"Without this plate, the reactor would just be a huge lump of iron, unable to even fart."

Andy shoved the board into the vice-captain's arms.

"And that one too."

Andy pointed to an inconspicuous black box in the distance: "The frequency modem of the Geller force field generator."

"Without it, the Geller force field can't synchronize with the subspace frequency, so turning it on is pointless."

Andy's strategy was simple: if the large items couldn't be moved, then he would dismantle all the core electronic devices that controlled them.

These "pre-existing electronic devices" are small and lightweight. Bringing them back would not only allow for repairs and reverse engineering at the shelter's existing precision machining center, but would also completely extinguish any hope the Helios Group might have of restarting the ship.

Even if Helios did manage to break through, they would be helpless against this bunch of dead machines without their controllers.

"Tear it down! Tear it all down!"

Andy gave the order.

"Unplug and pack everything that has a chip, a flashing light, or a wire!"

The soldiers immediately transformed into a professional demolition team, using crowbars, screwdrivers, and laser cutters.

In less than two hours, the spare bridge and the adjacent engine room control room were looted.

The control panel, which used to be flashing various indicator lights, is now just a series of empty black holes.

All the core boards, control chips, and servo motors were packed into an anti-static box.

Andy looked at the mountain of spoils and made some calculations in his mind.

With this batch of goods, plus the precision parts that Sisyphus obtained from Zhongchao, Andy's technology tree can take another leap forward.

At least we can replicate the ship's control system, and even optimize it, to prepare for building our own ships in the future.

As for the major components of the "New Bang"...

Xiao Liu's main body was welded to the bottom of the bridge, surrounded by several meters of super shock-absorbing alloy. Trying to pry it out would be as difficult as digging up a small mountain.

The subspace engine, a precision machine weighing several thousand tons, occupies one-third of the space at the stern.

The good news is that the item is intact.

The bad news is that it's too big, so big that any ground transport vehicle looks like a toy car next to it.

The Geller force field generator is good, but it's not only big, it's also very delicate. The ship's main keel is built together, and it's easy to ruin it by violent disassembly.

According to the logs that Andy just read, the giant plasma heavy element fusion reactor is the only one of the "four major components" that is damaged.

The cooling circuit burst, and the core became a bit unstable, but for Andy, who has an STC, fixing it was only a matter of time.

The problem lies in how to transport it.

Andy's original plan was to "enter the village quietly, without firing a shot," and make a fortune in silence.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

Each of these four items is a super behemoth.
