Chapter 1178 1178 The Long Wait
Not much got done for the rest of that day, as the repair function slowly brought the ship back online, with the help of the shuttles that were rebuilding the largest portions of the missing hull. By the next morning, the ship was airtight again, but Sylvie informed them that many of the internal areas had suffered from degradation over the years, and they would need a revamp to be brought fully back up to production standards.
That was the part that would take the majority of the remaining repair time, but Max suspected that there was a fair bit that could be removed from the function without compromising the hull integrity, going by their current pace.
"Sylvie, how long will it take to get the hull completely repaired and ready for faster than light travel?" Max asked.This content originates from n0v3lbin•
"If that was the exclusive goal of the repair function, seventeen more hours." She replied automatically.
"And where do the other three hundred hours of repair time come into your initial estimate?" Max asked.
"Restocking supplies, equipment, the missing portion of the hull that was repaired by your shuttles. That saved hundreds of hours, by the way, and preparations for a new crew's arrival." She explained.
"So, your goal was to bring the ship back to full readiness for a new military crew?" Max asked.
"Yes, that is correct. It is the primary purpose of this vessel, whose name is currently being redetermined."
They can relay the messages back home for us. We have a general direction for that, and it's close enough to get a signal through, we just need to reconfigure the communications software." Nico was explaining to the others as she pointed at spots on a diagram.
Sylvie nodded along, and made changes as Nico explained them so that the ship would be ready when they wanted to try.
"How long will it be until the message is received?" One of the team members asked as Nico finalized the plan.
"With this transmission method, which is the most stable we have over long distances, it will be seven minutes before they receive it, so fifteen minutes at a minimum before we receive a reply. If it's only received by a human crewed ship, it might be half an hour, as they won't be able to modify their systems as quickly as the Androids can."
Sylvie nodded happily. "I have analyzed your androids, and their data input speed is incredible. If you want to use them as the primary crew for the vessel, I would not object."
Nico happily patted the avatar on the head. "Yes, we are quite proud of them. They're not quite an AI system, as it would unnecessarily complicate their functions by introducing additional subroutines, but we have true AI consciousness on most of our Colony Class and World Ship class vessels now.
Most of them are like you, designed for war, but we have a few of them which were designed for research purposes and adapted to running a heavily populated vessel after being transferred."
"So I'm not alone." Sylvie whispered, celebrating the news that she would not be the only AI around.
Now, all she had to do was finish these upgrades to her communications systems, and she could find them. Then, once she found them, the humans wanted to go to them. It was perfect, absolutely perfect.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
