Chapter 231 Farewell to My Hometown
After a period of in-depth understanding and research into the various performance characteristics of the spaceship, Mo Yuming began to gradually learn how to operate this advanced spaceship under the detailed and meticulous guidance of the crystal brain.
It must be said that the more intelligent a technological product is, the more surprisingly simple and easy it is to operate.
Sure enough, as Mo Yuming gradually became familiar with and mastered the spaceship's operating procedures, his powerful soul force quickly and successfully established a close connection with the dense network of neurons within the soul pillar.
Almost instantly, a massive amount of key information about the spaceship flooded into Mo Yuming's mind like a tidal wave.
This feeling was incredibly wonderful. He didn't even need to spend too much effort to deliberately practice a specific operating procedure to be able to control the various complex functions of the spaceship at will.
Whether starting the engine, adjusting the flight attitude, or switching between different working modes, everything seems so natural and smooth, as if it is easily commanding its own limbs, moving freely and flexibly.
Thinking back to his decisive decision to destroy that mysterious tablet, Mo Yuming couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.
If that tablet hadn't been destroyed in time, it would have been a complete fantasy to take control of the entire spaceship so easily!
It turns out that in the initial design of the spacecraft, that seemingly insignificant flat panel was actually given an extremely important mission—it was the spacecraft's backup control device.
If the astronauts on board encounter an emergency or commit mutiny, the tablet can immediately take over control and possess a series of supreme powers that exceed the authority of ordinary astronauts, such as directly communicating with higher authorities and independently carrying out missions.
These crystal brains are merely puppet brains without their own thoughts; they are simply advanced bionic computers that can only obey commands and have no independent thought.
The astronauts on the spaceship are now dead, the tablet has been destroyed, and the spaceship is now ownerless.
This unexpected turn of events was something even Hengyu Juntian, who originally designed and built the spaceship, probably never anticipated.
I never expected to be possessed by a soul without a body. Given the defense level of this spaceship, enemies would be detected from thousands of miles away under normal circumstances. It would be impossible to sneak close to the spaceship, let alone enter the spaceship and control it.
But there are always exceptions. Unfortunately, the spaceship ran out of energy, and all the crystal brains went into hibernation.
In order to evade tracking, the spaceship landed in a special location that could shield information, reducing its defensive and sensory capabilities to a minimum. To make matters worse, all the astronauts on board died, and the spaceship lost control.
The intruder was a soul detached from its physical body, and most importantly, the spaceship's defenses were not designed to prevent soul intrusion, let alone anticipate a soul invasion in space.
The spaceship's control system happens to use something similar to soul control.
It was precisely this unexpected loophole that Mo Yuming happened to stumble upon.
Seeing the fragments of crystal brains scattered all over the Soul Pillar, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. These high-level crystal brains were rare treasures. It would be almost impossible to get crystal brains made from the brains of high-level intelligent beings again in the future. Even if he could get their brains, it would be useless if he didn't know how they were made. This kind of technique was probably only possessed by the Grand Ancestor Juntian of Hengyu Juntian.
However, it wasn't completely useless. Mo Yuming identified that the substance that had helped him quickly restore his soul power and the crystal that made up the crystal brain were actually the same substance, only one was in solid form and the other was in gaseous form.
It should be obtained by Hengyu Juntian through molecular recombination; it is a synthetic compound.
Although the crystal brain is no longer a living thing, as a thinking intelligent tool, it still needs to consume energy. Unlike other electronic devices, it cannot use electrical energy as its energy source, so it can only create an energy substance that can be used to maintain the operation of the crystal brain for its consumption.
And this auxiliary substance is exactly the kind of treasure that can be used directly to repair soul power.
In the Tianxuan Continent, there are almost no medicines that can be used to directly restore soul power. Normally, one can only restore one's soul power by cultivating profound arts.
This substance is an extremely precious treasure in the Tianxuan Continent. There are more than a dozen crystal brain fragments in total. If each crystal brain fragment were to dissolve into a gaseous form, its volume would be at least a hundred times that of the gas that Mo Yuming had previously absorbed.
The dozen or so fragments would be enough for Mo Yuming to use for a long time. Moreover, Mo Yuming discovered that the soul pillar control center of the spaceship could slowly generate this gas energy.
Mo Yuming is now a soul, and he can't take these fragments with him except through his sea of consciousness. Since these substances can be used to restore soul power, they can naturally be stored in his sea of consciousness.
This way, he could absorb this substance through his sea of consciousness to directly restore his soul power. This would be another major secret weapon for Mo Yuming.
After collecting all the fragments into his sea of consciousness, Mo Yuming hesitated for a moment before taking the last remaining crystal brain into his sea of consciousness as well. He then tried to communicate with the crystal brain, and surprisingly, it was just as seamless as before. The crystal brain showed no abnormalities in his sea of consciousness, possibly because the other crystal brain fragments provided energy. The crystal brain could still operate freely in Mo Yuming's sea of consciousness.
After everything was settled, Mo Yuming reconnected to the spaceship. Having familiarized himself with it beforehand, Mo Yuming successfully made contact with the spaceship this time.
The spaceship has less than 10% of its energy left, enough for sub-light speed travel, but it can no longer activate its energy shield.
However, Mo Yuming would never absorb energy from the solar system to replenish the spaceship's power. The spaceship's energy center is a structure similar to a black hole, which can absorb any matter as energy. It's just a matter of how well the energy is converted and utilized. The most efficient use is naturally of high-energy stars like the sun.
The rectangular space that Mo Yuming passed through when he first entered the spaceship was the energy storage center. The light sphere floating in the air, surrounded by many rune-like networks, is the energy storage black hole. Don't underestimate its size; it can absorb an entire planet.
Mo Yuming still felt a chill of fear. Luckily, he didn't go close to study those so-called runes. If he had been sucked into the black hole, even if his soul power was strong, he would probably have been devoured without a trace!
Mo Yuming didn't need to use the spaceship for anything else at the moment. He only needed to leave the solar system and return to the Tianxuan Continent. So after starting the spaceship, Mo Yuming flew around the Earth once and then headed towards the exit of the wormhole. Along the way, he collected some meteorite fragments and space debris floating in the air as energy.
Goodbye, my home Earth! Goodbye, solar system!
After Mo Yuming flew into the wormhole entrance, he erased the entrance and then disguised all the traces he left behind.
After operating it for a while, Mo Yuming felt that the spaceship was too easy to use. After connecting to the neurons, the entire spaceship was like Mo Yuming's own body. He could move however he wanted. However, sometimes the speed was too fast, and Mo Yuming felt that he could not keep up. After all, the spaceship was a huge object and a solid entity. No matter what, it was still very different from the ethereal soul.
