Chapter 1095 Nasserton's Navigation Data

No matter what happened when the aliens came to Earth from the Dream Plane more than ten thousand years ago, they had forgotten their homeland and everything about their past. The sirens were no exception. Hao Ren could imagine the scene in this city back then: Nasserton had fallen through a huge space rift and landed on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, firmly rooted in this flat deep sea. The sirens woke up in the "strange" starship city, ignorant of everything about themselves and deeply confused. They did not know who built this city and how it was built, nor did they know the true function of the city. They only knew that they had woken up here as a matter of course, and then lived here - to this day, their greatest achievement was mastering the operation of the city's life support system and some of the defense system, and knowing how to simply maintain them, but they knew nothing about the starship city's navigation, flight, and navigation database.

The reason was very simple. These systems involved the core and were unprecedentedly complex, far from being simple devices that could be operated by flipping a few valves and buttons. The sirens did not recognize the words on the system.

But Hao Ren firmly believed that those ancient operating systems must record information about the sirens' home planet.

"This is a colony ship, or maybe an escape ship. Anyway, judging from its scale, it's definitely not for sightseeing within the solar system," Hao Ren said, pointing to the magnificent facilities around him, his expression like that of a real estate shark trying to sell a property. "According to the most basic interstellar navigation principles and the habits of most intelligent creatures when building navigation systems, this kind of ship must record the relative position of its home planet in the universe - locating a star in the universe is a basic skill that even modern Earthlings know, and the sirens who can build this kind of ship certainly know it too. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a database in the ship that specifically stores star charts. Based on the power of the Spring of Water Core, this ship should have had the ability to perform Level II space jumps in its complete state, so the star chart range would be very large, enough for us to find its starting position in the universe."

Everyone looked at the siren queen, who spread her hands for a long time, her tail curled into a question mark in the air: "What are you talking about?"

Everyone: "..."

"Uh..." Hao Ren had finally pretended to be an expert for a long time, and he almost choked himself at this moment. "Damn, you should theoretically be the captain of this ship back then... Okay, I won't tell you such a complicated thing. Does Nasserton have a place similar to a central control room? With a lot of display equipment, a bunch of buttons, operation panels that don't seem to have any function, and indicator lights that don't do anything but just keep flashing, you may not know what it's for, but it's obviously very important - is there such a room?"

The siren queen raised her hand and pointed to the palace ruins not far away: "That's it."

"The bridge has been blown up by us," Izhaks said, shrugging his shoulders. "The palace is the bridge."

Hao Ren smacked his forehead: "I forgot."

"Another deadlock?" Bai Huo asked curiously. After her mentor took the initiative to show curiosity about these aliens, she was finally able to ask questions openly.

"No, we don't need the bridge," Hao Ren rummaged through the "Starship Structure" and "Spaceship Design Guide" in his mind. "The database can't be placed on the bridge. It should be kept in the ship's safer core compartment. The bridge is just a bunch of operating terminals. We just need to find those lines and connect them to the database... Everyone, split up and see if we can find the main structure of the bridge from the ruins, and then clear the main lines."

"This is a big project," the siren queen quickly reacted. "Let's gather people and clean up the entire ruins."

Vivian nodded: "That's good. Giving everyone something to do will help with their mental recovery."

Shaqira and Soma immediately swam around to gather the siren stewards and convey the queen's order to have them bring people to clean up the palace ruins. Groups of sirens quickly gathered from all directions. Some of them even brought equipment that could be found nearby. The scene suddenly became lively. The sirens were enthusiastically moving the rubble on the ruins. They were of various shapes, some like mermaids, some like sea snakes, some like mantis shrimps, some like giant squids, and there were even two sea urchins bigger than tanks rolling over from nearby - who knows what they wanted to do, probably just here to watch.

Hao Ren led a group of his companions and stared dumbfounded at the scene of demons dancing in front of them, thinking that the "demon" in the sirens' name was indeed appropriate to the bone. Look at the battle they put up when they were busy, what's the difference between this and a monster fight.

Lily stretched her neck and watched for a long time, quite emotional: "A race that can produce so many styles is truly art."

"Look at this Type 59 mantis shrimp and Type 99 sea urchin, tsk tsk," Hao Ren turned to look at Nangong Wuyue, "From the bottom of my heart, would you be willing to become like this?"

Nangong Wuyue was concentrating on poking a small stone with the tip of her tail: "Anyway, I won't fight, anyway, I won't fight..."

Hao Ren: "..."

The power of water was strong, especially in this deep-sea city, where the sirens' power could be maximized. Those huge pieces of rubble and broken walls were pushed around like foam toys by the Type 59 mantis shrimps and sea crabs. The largest collapsed area was quickly cleaned up to its approximate outline. Hao Ren carried a data terminal and began to look for the frame of the bridge in those cleared areas. The siren queen followed him, recalling what the original function of these broken bricks and tiles was.

While the cleanup work was in full swing, a special group of helpers suddenly arrived at the scene.

They were a group of aliens - vampires, werewolves, shadow demons, and a few short guys who couldn't be identified. After these people came over, they started to help clean up the ruins without saying a word. Shaqira looked at them in surprise: "You..."

A werewolf walked by with a broken pillar in his arms. He grinned: "I heard that the siren general mentioned that the ruins were being cleaned up here. We're bored anyway, so we came to help move things. Anyway, you won't be able to send us back to the shore for a while, right?"

"Actually, I didn't want to come and help," a vampire shrugged, then glanced at Vivian's direction with a hint of awe. "But the elder sent a little bat to call us... Who would dare to disobey?"

Hao Ren looked at Vivian in surprise. The latter waved her hand indifferently: "I just sent a bat to tell them."

"I didn't expect them to be so generous," Izhaks stroked his chin. "I thought they would at least argue with the sirens for some compensation."

"Most aliens don't care about this. We prefer to be straightforward," Vivian laughed. "Since we understand that the sirens were also victims, there's nothing to pursue. We've all survived from the age of mythology, and many people are very practical."

"Of course, there will definitely be some who are more hot-tempered," Soma raised her body and looked into the distance. There were turbulent currents in that direction, and a noisy sound was faintly heard. It seemed that a conflict had broken out. "I'll go and see what's going on."

Vivian shook her head: "After all, they come from different races, and their ways of dealing with people and their codes of conduct are different. This is always a mess."

Bai Huo muttered: "It seems that aliens are facing a lot of social problems."

"No, our biggest social problem is that we have almost no society," Vivian glanced at Bai Huo. "Thanks to you."

Hassu shrugged and didn't say anything.

The data terminal slid past a collapsed metal pillar, its front end emitting a light that scanned back and forth, outlining the pipeline structure hidden at a certain depth underground. At this time, it suddenly made a whistle: "Phew - this unit has found it."

People nearby immediately interrupted their conversations and were attracted over. Hao Ren saw that the data terminal's beam was shining on a device that had been cut off at the root, like a palace pillar. He stepped forward and cleared the debris around the device, and found that there were a large number of pipes and lines hidden underneath.

"This must be where the navigator worked back then. This unit has detected that it has a large number of lines leading to a certain central node." As the data terminal spoke, it approached those lines, and its holographic image showed the progress bar of connection and cracking.

The siren queen looked at this place in surprise, and after a long time, she spread her hands: "I don't know... I often curled up on this pillar to sleep, but I don't know what it does."

Hao Ren: "..."

"Found the navigation data," after waiting for a long time, the data terminal finally reported the good news. "IO, the name of the sirens' home planet is IO."
