The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 684 Touring the Normandy
There is one thing to say, when Xie Yuan really saw the New Normandie, he really felt a little familiar and strange.

Compared with the SR-1, the volume of the new Normandy has increased a circle, but it looks like the old Normandy Sr-1 has doubled in size.

There is one more difference...that is, the original black and red livery of the Normandy has suddenly changed to the black and yellow color of the Cerberus...beautiful is beautiful, but I just can't get used to it.

But this is not Xie Yuan's ship, it is Shepard's ship, and this ship is not commissioned by the Star Alliance, but built by Cerberus with a huge sum of money, so Xie Yuan has nothing to do except complain in his heart. Qualification comments.

However, the spaceship customized by private capital is indeed better than that commissioned by the military in terms of comfort—once he entered, Xie Yuan felt a great sense of honor.

The reason for this feeling is that the interior environment of the entire spaceship has a very bright but comfortable white lighting channel, and the surrounding metallic silver and black accessories make the ship feel novel and modern-simple deployment of colors and lights , let Xie Yuan feel a strong sense of positive energy.

The accessories of Cerberus here are indeed much more comfortable than the dark blue color on the starship, which is close to the blue shift.

"Wow! Is this... your own interstellar spaceship? Captain Shepard?" Ciri subconsciously revealed the secret of seeing the spaceship for the first time, but luckily she came round right away.

"That's right! She's twice the size of the original Normandy." Shepard showed it to Ciri proudly, but when she mentioned the original old Normandy, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, but she hid it well , "Similarly her task is more difficult."

At this time, Xie Yuan was looking around in the empty cabin on the ground floor, and then a loudspeaker next to his ear suddenly issued an electronic sound: "This is the Normandy SR-2! Professor Modine, Agent Xie Yuan, Archangel Gellar Si and your team, and Ciri. Welcome to join us."

Modin touched his chin when he heard this voice: "...can feel the simulated emotion of the synthesized voice...could it be...is this an AI?"

"That's right, Etie is the core control AI of this ship." Hearing Modin's inference, Shepard nodded: "In a sense, she is the Normandy, and we are in her body... um, Edie, status report?"

"We just drove away from Omega, and we are expected to arrive at the Mass Effect relay in an hour and a half to jump..." Itti reported to Shepard in a very formulaic tone.

"Okay Itti, first prepare the science laboratory for Professor Modin, we need the professor to start working immediately..." Then Shepard turned around and looked at Xie Yuan and Galas: "Galas, you first Take your own people to settle down, and then let Iti take you around the new Normandy, there are a lot of new equipment added here, you need to get familiar with it."

"As for Yuan and Xili, Yuan, you are also an old crew member, so let's take Xili to arrange a tour of the whole ship first, and Iti will help you answer your questions."

"Okay." Xie Yuan responded casually, and then said to the sky above his head, "Then Yi Di, thank you for your hard work."

"It's my honor, Agent Xie Yuan." Itti replied concisely.

"Then let's go!" Xie Yuan gestured to follow, and Shirley also slowly followed behind Xie Yuan.

……

The new Normandy has a total of 5 floors, but Xie Yuan was still visiting the bulkheads of the hangar at the beginning, and a large group of people like Shepard Modingailas had already walked away, leaving him alone. Stay alone in the empty landing cabin.

Because Xili agreed to follow Xie Yuan, she waited all the time, and the two walked towards the elevator until Xie Yuan finished observing.

However, before that, Xie Yuan still called Iti: "Iti, can you remind me where I can visit and where it is forbidden to visit?"

"Buzz!" A small metal platform suddenly protruded from the bulkhead not far from me, and then a blue dot light array projection was aroused on it-it was a volleyball-sized ball connected to a circle with a ring. The strange shape of the pillar... like a big microphone with a ring logo on the handle...

"According to Commander Shepard, you can go and see anywhere except the captain's cabin." The holographic projection continued to flash and spoke, "Her original words were that this is the inheritance of the old Normandy and the new Normandy." The beginning of "Make yourself at home."

"Is that so? Okay, thank you!" Xie Yuan nodded calmly.

On the contrary, Ciri went up to look at Itti curiously, and even touched it with her hand, but it was a pity that the holographic projection was empty.

But Itti didn't stop Ciri's behavior.

Seeing that he touched a cloud of air, Ciri asked curiously: "You... are the artificial intelligence of Normandy... What kind of structure are you? Why can't I touch you?"

Ciri had seen artificial intelligence before, and at first she thought it was a kind of golem similar to magic - it was a thing given life by magic, it couldn't think, and it obeyed the creator's instructions without question.

But later, after communicating with Iron Man, she understood some of the essence of AI-it is indeed a machine made by humans, and it is also endowed with a certain amount of intelligence.

But when the real AI develops to a certain level, it will even produce intelligence by itself, just like UR-025.

Giving a dead object real life... This is an almost impossible realm at the magical level-but technology has achieved it at a lower cost... This made her inexplicably feel awe of technology.

However, looking at the thick and hard body of UR-025, and seeing the invisible shape on the projection platform, Shirley felt refreshed again - so there is such an AI in this world!

"No! This is not my entity," the artificial intelligence Itika over there blinked.Only then replied: "This is just a projection of my image. My main body exists in the third layer of plate armor in Normandy - behind the infirmary. My real size is about... in the search terms... a large vertical refrigerator The size, but the weight must be several tons."

"Well, it's not particularly big!" Ciri subconsciously said to herself, but immediately changed her tone, "Then, Etie, take us to visit the Normandy!"

"I'm so happy!" Yi Di finally exited the projection interface.

……

Xie Yuan took Xili to the engine deck on the fourth floor. In fact, apart from a huge spherical zero-element engine, there are only two engineering personnel who have not worked for a few years but have extraordinary talents: Jabby and Donald.

The two are childhood sweethearts since they were young, more than friends, and they are not full of lovers without knowing it-what's more commendable is that both of them are passionate about engineering dynamics.

And their original work address...is still the Star Alliance—ah, I suddenly miss the veteran chief engineer Adams, but it's a pity that he didn't agree to be called.

It's a pity that Xie Yuan only got the respect and curiosity of a ghost agent from his engineer partner, but he didn't feel the reverence like Shepard.

But this is also normal. After the Battle of the Citadel, Shepard accepted the publicity of the Citadel Council and the Star Alliance, and she became more and more divine because of her rapid death. accumulation of fame.

On the other hand, on Xie Yuan's side, basically the parliament and the Star Alliance will not make Xie Yuan specialize in the front - this is not in line with the advantage of concentrating superior resources for publicity, and the Star Alliance will not treat a Pan-Asian person reasonably. agent.

But Jabby and Donald, who speak Irish tones, amuse Xie Yuan and Ciri—especially their flirtatious bickering with each other.

The reason Ciri liked Donald and Jabby turned out to be that their accents were similar to where she used to live, the Skellige Islands, which was where she used to live.

The left side of the engine deck is the port cargo area, which is temporarily vacant; while the starboard side is the cargo area, where there are also video monitors and garbage compactors—now owned by Zaid, and the door is temporarily marked with "Preparation, do not enter." tagline style.

Because of Shepard's permission here, Xie Yuan also took Ciri to visit the revolutionary zero element engine built by Cerberus for the new Normandy - Tantalus Power Core II.

The Type I of this thing can basically be supplied to a 500-meter-long cruiser, but now it is reduced to the Normandy, which is the size of a frigate, so it can explode with strong power.

Now upgrade to Type [-], the power will be even stronger!
It's just a pity that there is nothing amazing about Shirley - she really doesn't know much about it.

So simply watched for a while and waited on the third deck.

The No. 3 deck is the leisure and entertainment area for the crew when they are off duty. It includes the first officer's office, crew cabin (dormitory), medical room, main gun room, public toilet, life support system control room, canteen and artificial intelligence core storage .

It is much richer than the Normandy SR-1, but the new modification is also different from the previous ship-the No. 2 deck of the SR-2 is facing the bow position, that is, the front of the cryogenic dormant cabin is equipped with a main gun room.

The advantages and disadvantages of this configuration and design change are not known, but Xie Yuan feels that this design is indeed quite bold and compact.

Out of politeness and years of friendship, Xie Yuan took Xili to see Dr. Jacobworth.

"I'm still thinking about when you will come to see me?" Turning the swivel chair, Dr. Jacobworth watched Xie Yuan stand up, touched Xie Yuan's shoulder, showing nostalgic expression, "I haven't seen you for two years After that, you're much stronger again."

"I am very glad to have you join," Xie Yuan also said emotionally, "otherwise, I am really worried about how they will reform Shepard."

"Oh, don't worry." Dr. Jacobworth seemed reassured. "If they mess up, I'll let them know what revenge an old doctor who has served the Star Federation for decades will have on them!"

Speaking of this, she seemed to be gnashing her teeth like that.

"I agree with this very much!" Xie Yuan had no objection to this.
