Generally speaking, spaceships needed to be resupplied.
Not the material supplies needed by people living on them to survive, but the ship's own energy supplies.
But the ship Ejie had obtained had never needed energy resupply so far.
This ship's energy supply system itself was an infinite energy device.
When he first saw the energy generation device in the power room and saw that cube, it gave him the illusion of something like the Cosmic Cube.
Actually, that seemingly cubic state wasn't the form of the energy body—it was more like a framework used to contain an infinite energy body, with the real infinite energy source inside.
What exactly it was, he naturally didn't understand.
At his next destination, the Emperor's big light orb said there was also such a thing there for him to find.
Currently, the STCs he was collecting—after obtaining them, he wasn't told to hand them over to anyone. Just obtaining them was enough, and how to handle them was entirely his own business.
Thinking about it now, Ejie suspected the "Hyperdimensional Channel" might be related to the Emperor.
Maybe this "Hyperdimensional Channel" was something created by the Emperor?
However, Ejie was more inclined to think the Emperor had seen the future, seen that he would connect with the system, so he could let him take STCs to develop other worlds, then nurture this world in return.
As for why not hand them over and develop in this world, it was naturally because the current environment was so harsh that development wouldn't go smoothly.
On one hand, the Empire itself had obstacles like the Adeptus Mechanicus, not allowing technology to spread freely, not wanting modular manufacturing and production.
On the other hand, the four Chaos Gods would also interfere, and other factions wouldn't necessarily let the Empire use STCs to rise like this—they would probably also join in to cause trouble.
In short, to get STC technology operating properly again required a stable environment.
In Warhammer's environment where daemons and monsters were everywhere in chaos, it was difficult to develop.
Coming to another special room next to the power room, this room was for actively contacting the Emperor.
After opening it, inside the door was empty, with only a cold bed.
Walking here and lying down, he pressed a button to activate it. The scenery in his vision began to disappear, seeming to become transparent, or like it was blurring.
With a sudden flash of light, what came into view was a large blue light orb.
"Lost warship?"
Without that kind of voiced dialogue, it was somewhat like the light orb in the Main God space, directly transmitting the mission to his consciousness.
The so-called lost warship was Ejie's own description.
Just after telling Miss Whispered about his request to visit, he received a call from the Emperor, asking him to come here again for dialogue.
He was told of a star region where there existed a human Golden Age experimental warship, similar to his current ship, both using the most advanced technology.
He was told to hurry and get it, because the special warehouse storing this warship didn't have much time before being exposed to space.
If he couldn't gain control or start it, he should destroy it.
How many such warships and ships still existed, lost in various places in this universe, Ejie didn't know, so he used the word "lost" to describe them.
However, since it was a warship, it was definitely different from his ship.
Warships were for warfare, while his ship had no weapons systems at all and could only be called a ship.
But that didn't mean it truly couldn't attack—there was a special function that, when activated, could in a sense allow the ship itself to serve as a very solid weapon to ram opponents.
This function was also somewhat uncontrollable, so he didn't dare use it casually, because with one careless move, even planets could be pierced through.
The so-called "flying brick with great force" was somewhat apt for describing this function.
"That's it?"
No more content was provided.
"Please open up the complete catalog of Tyranid and Chaos daemon types for me to see."
As his words fell, it seemed like something was appearing from thin air around his vision, constructing something, like 3D printing.
In the blink of an eye, he was situated in a library filled entirely with content about daemons and Tyranids.
Next, he would download related knowledge into his brain.
The downloading wasn't like the Main God in Infinite Terror, directly stuffing knowledge into your brain instantly, but you had to look yourself. Like copying homework, transcribing it into your own brain.
Fortunately, everything seen here would be remembered—photographic memory, without needing to memorize by rote.
Previously, to improve his ability to handle problems he might encounter when excavating STCs, he had also requested related knowledge, and they had created a complex environment for him to simulate in.
To improve his survival ability and response capability, they had also created many harsh environments showing how to respond.
Even his combat skill knowledge was learned here, though even if it seemed incredibly realistic like reality itself, after he left, those experiences like in a virtual network would only be knowledge, not experience.
Because the environment created here—the so-called realistic feeling was experienced in the soul, not the body, not truly physical realism.
So the so-called rewards he obtained here were knowledge downloaded from the Emperor.
Of course, he could also possibly obtain physical rewards.
Like panacea, but physical items weren't directly sent to him here—instead, he was told where they were for him to find and take himself.
So his relationship with the Emperor was like that between boss and employee.
It wouldn't be like the Main God space where failing to complete missions meant obliteration.
But not working seriously here, slacking off, would mean not getting "subsidies," and in such a world of daemons and monsters, surviving without the boss's "subsidies" would be extremely difficult.
Therefore, when he was on business trips to various places, he would request various subsidies from the boss.
Also, because knowledge download time was limited, it wasn't possible to learn as much as desired in one go or until he couldn't stand it and wanted to quit.
Staying too long, he might be discovered.
Speaking of which, the Emperor's dialogue with him until now had no human touch at all—very mechanical.
As if the Emperor himself was currently just a program.
In the blink of an eye, the time-limited learning download period ended, and he had supplemented more related intelligence about daemons and Tyranids, which would help him respond better when encountering them in the future.
Speaking of which, he could also see some types of Tyranids here that he had never heard of currently, feeling like the Empire didn't even have this intelligence yet.
Not because it wasn't public, but because the Empire really hadn't encountered them yet.
Not thinking about it too much, he prepared to head to another world.
