These coordinate positions are not fixed. If rescue cannot arrive within an hour to pick up these Warplanes, their positions will change.
Because in space, all coordinate positions are relative, not absolute like on the ground.
Relative positions mean that after a period of time, as the reference points shift, the positions of these objects will also change.
And forty-eight hours have passed since those Warplanes sent out distress signals.
In such a long time, these position coordinates are no longer valid.
For Xia Chujian, it's just a reference point.
She mainly wanted to see where these Warplanes were flying at the time.
After looking at these initial coordinate positions, Xia Chujian was about to talk to Seven Lù.
Suddenly, a prompt appeared on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
[Seven Lù]: Master, please do not speak. This office is under surveillance, and the Mechanical Intelligence system of the Warplanes is also being monitored in real time.
Xia Chujian was startled.
Is it monitoring this Starry Sky Cruiser, or is it monitoring her? Xia Chujian pursed her lips, stood up from behind the desk, and walked into a small bedroom inside.
This is the Captain's private lounge.
Generally speaking, there is no surveillance here.
But just in case, Xia Chujian still looked around, and walked into a small washroom further inside.
There was a sink, a toilet, and a shower.
There should definitely be no surveillance here, right? If there is, that would be too despicable...
Xia Chujian thought silently, then looked up and around the washroom.
Seven Lù understood what she meant, and also detected the electromagnetic signals in the washroom, and finally told her that there was no problem here, no surveillance.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, another line of text appeared on her eyepiece display.
[Seven Lù]: For safety's sake, please do not speak, Master.
Xia Chujian felt aggrieved. How was she supposed to communicate with Seven Lù!
Then Seven Lù displayed a second sentence.
[Seven Lù]: Please use the virtual display to type and communicate with me, Master.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief.
She pulled out the Smart Bracelet's virtual display and started typing.
[Xia Chujian]: Seven Lù, didn't you say there's no surveillance in this washroom? Why can't I speak?
[Seven Lù]: Master, speaking will cause air vibrations. The surveillance equipment outside is very advanced and can restore all the sounds here through air vibrations.
Xia Chujian: ...
This is too advanced!
She was indignant.
[Xia Chujian]: Is this done by those high-level people in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet?
[Seven Lù]: ...No, Seven Lù suspects it's Inspector Huo.
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
This is too shocking!
Why would Huo Yushen monitor her?!
[Xia Chujian]: No way? Inspector Huo is very magnanimous. He wouldn't do such sneaky things, would he?
[Seven Lù]: Master is right, Seven Lù is just guessing.
[Xia Chujian]: You must have a reason for guessing, right? Why guess it's Inspector Huo?
[Seven Lù]: Because the level of the monitoring program is very high. Currently, Seven Lù has not found anyone with more advanced computer skills than Inspector Huo.
Xia Chujian: "..."
This is rather arbitrary.
She thought that her Master Su Buyan was probably not worse than Huo Yushen's computer skills.
But she would not feed data to Seven Lù, this Mechanical Intelligence, to correct its logical reasoning, so she changed the subject.
[Xia Chujian]: Once we enter the Asteroid Belt, will this monitoring automatically stop?
[Seven Lù]: Yes, once you enter the Asteroid Belt, the network connection with the outside world will be lost, and real-time monitoring will be impossible. However, offline monitoring is still possible. This monitoring will record all the host's actions in the office, and then upload them to the Cloud after the network connection is restored.
Xia Chujian: "..."
Such a cunning monitoring system.
She snorted softly and continued to ask.
[Xia Chujian]: How did you get rid of the monitoring on our Starry Sky Fighter before? Can you do the same to get rid of the monitoring here?
[Seven Lù]: ...Master, if you use the same trick again, you will be exposed.
[Xia Chujian]: You will be exposed, right?
[Seven Lù]: ...Seven Lù belongs to the master, Seven Lù's exposure is the master's exposure. Humble.JPG.
Xia Chujian: "..."
This Mechanical Intelligence can not only compare people unfavorably but also use emoticons...
She took a deep breath and frowned in thought.
[Xia Chujian]: Then what should we do? Are we not going to use you? Then we won't be able to use the Star Chart, and we won't have any clues.
[Seven Lù]: Seven Lù will find a way, master, don't worry.
The two, one human and one Mechanical Intelligence, were quietly conversing on the virtual display screen, as if nothing was happening.
Only Xia Chujian herself knew how anxious she was.
She had made a bold statement in front of Huo Yushen. Was she going to admit that she was actually bluffing? Also, the Military's Starry Sky Cruiser was half of the hope for this rescue.
How could she deprive those trainees of half of their chance of being rescued! Although she wanted certain individual trainees to die, she couldn't abandon saving the entire Jade Bottle because of one rat.
Xia Chujian clenched her fists, her mind racing, and finally made a decision.
She shouldn't have completely relied on this Mechanical Intelligence that had suddenly upgraded in some unknown way.
She should be the one to dominate this rescue operation, not listen to Seven Lù for everything.
Seven Lù was just an assistant, she was the leader.
If she had to listen to Seven Lù for every decision, what would she become?
A puppet?!
Absolutely not! No matter what kind of Mechanical Intelligence you are, you must be used by me, not me becoming a tool to realize its decisions! Xia Chujian immediately thought of a solution.
[Xia Chujian]: If I put on the helmet and adjust it to a fully enclosed type, can it block all sound waves? Like, if I speak while wearing a fully enclosed helmet, the sound waves won't be transmitted, and naturally, it won't cause air vibrations, right?
[Seven Lù]: ...Master is divinely intelligent! So smart! That's right! Wearing a helmet and turning on the fully enclosed mode means that even air cannot convect, let alone sound waves? But that would require turning on the oxygen production function.
[Xia Chujian]: Then turn it on.
[Seven Lù]: ...Master, the only problem is that the outside monitoring is still on. If you go out wearing a fully enclosed helmet now, the people monitoring will find that there is a problem with the helmet, and the next step will be to discover Seven Lù.
Xia Chujian thought about it. Although this method was useful, it was indeed a bit immature.
But because of the ubiquitous monitoring on this Cruiser, she had to be cautious and careful.
[Xia Chujian]: I understand. Then we'll do that after the Cruiser starts up.
Xia Chujian felt that communicating like this was quite tiring.
But she still wrote down her orders first.
[Xia Chujian]: Later, I'm going out to analyze that Star Chart with the coordinate locations. I'll write down the steps that need to be calculated. You just provide the calculation results, don't interfere with the operation of the Starry Sky Cruiser, and don't communicate with the Starry Sky Cruiser's Mechanical Intelligence.
[Seven Lù]: ...Master, are you really not considering letting Seven Lù take over this Starry Sky Cruiser?
[Xia Chujian]: Can you use the same trick to make everyone here fall asleep?
Xia Chujian had already guessed that the "culprit" who made the three roommates fall asleep in the Asteroid Belt was this Mechanical Intelligence, Seven Lù.
[Seven Lù]: ...Cannot. Cat lowers head in shame.JPG.
[Xia Chujian]: Then just be a powerful calculator and listen to me for everything else.
She stopped dwelling on it, went to the mirror in front of the washbasin, looked at herself, and then walked out.
She walked out of the small rest area and into the spacious office outside.
On the desk, the three virtual display screens were still suspended there.
The coordinates flickered on the screen.
Xia Chujian recalled what she had learned about warplane structure and flight principles at the Flying Base, and began to write on the virtual display screen to her left.
"First, retrieve the exact times when each student warplane sent out a signal to withdraw.
Second, retrieve the average flight speed of the student warplanes in the Asteroid Belt.
Third, based on the time and speed, calculate the flight distance of each warplane, and establish a three-dimensional model inside the Asteroid Belt, which needs to include the coordinate positions of all student warplanes at that time.
Fourth, retrieve the last known position of the Interstellar Airship, treat it as a variable, and put it into the three-dimensional model."
She wrote out these requirements, and then instructed the Starry Sky Cruiser's Mechanical Intelligence to begin the calculations.
Five minutes later, the Starry Sky Cruiser's Mechanical Intelligence gave the total time required for all calculations: thirty days and twenty hours.
It also stated that it would need to mobilize maximum computing power, which would affect the Cruiser's autopilot.
Then it asked her if she wanted to continue the calculations.
After all this time, the Cruiser's built-in Mechanical Intelligence hadn't even started calculating yet!
Xia Chujian: "..."
This was supposed to be quantum computing, and it still needed so much time!
She suspected that if she really waited that long, those relative coordinate positions would have drifted who knows where.
Xia Chujian chose to give up.
Besides, she wrote out these requirements not for the Starry Sky Cruiser's Mechanical Intelligence, but for Seven Lù to see.
Ten minutes later, Seven Lù had already completed the calculations and displayed the three-dimensional model she needed on her eyepiece display screen.
Then came a line of explanatory text.
[Seven Lù]: Master, according to calculations, the response time and speed of those Interstellar Airships should have been sufficient to intercept these student warplanes and return them to base.
Xia Chujian frowned and muttered to herself, "...But why didn't these Interstellar Airships bring these student warplanes back?"
[Seven Lù]: According to Seven Lù's calculations, a second variable appeared.
In the situation at the time, the Interstellar Airships that entered the Asteroid Belt for rescue were the first variable.
What was the second variable? Xia Chujian was silent, thinking, could it be the Remnant Species monster on that suddenly appearing Miniature Planet?
But the big ones of those Remnant Species type monsters had been killed by her, and the others had fled at the sight of her. She really didn't believe they would dare to attack proactively.
Xia Chujian's heart stirred. She could ask Seven Lù, because Seven Lù had said before that it knew the way to Eze Star.
According to Seven Lù, Eze Star was the name of that Miniature Planet.
She slowly raised her hand and continued to write a guess on the left display screen.
"Fifth, could they have encountered an attack by an unknown force?"
This is the first update, the second update will be at 1 p.m.
Continue to beg for Moon Tickets at the beginning of the month!
