Another Incredible Database?!

Another Incredible Database?!

I want to go home... If this really is Star Wars, we won't stand a chance against those terrifying Star Destroyers... Tang Xiao covered his forehead and fell silent for a long while. The joy of seeing the Kushan Mothership from the game become reality had completely vanished.

"All right then, Qi Jian, my Chief of Staff, help me count how much defensive strength we have." Tang Xiao composed himself and decided to struggle a little longer.

Qi Jian immediately got into character and answered confidently, "We have five Arrow-class Scouts and five Blade-class Light Fighters."

Tang Xiao kept smiling as he stared at him. Then came an awkward silence. More than ten seconds passed before he finally spoke again with a smile. "Go on. I'm waiting."

"That's all."

Pfft! Tang Xiao nearly spat out a mouthful of blood in his face. "Damn it, this mothership carrying 650,000 people only has five scout planes and five fighters to protect it?!"

Qi Jian hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "I'm sorry, Administrator. The Navigation Log has completely disappeared, so I have no idea what happened during our previous voyage. The reality is that we only have these small spacecraft to protect us."

"Mainframe, pull up the data for me. Five fighters are supposed to protect a mothership like this? Their performance has to be at least on par with the Destiny Gundam..." Tang Xiao said as he sat back down.

A holographic projection appeared before him, displaying a crude, ugly triangular craft. The Mainframe's voice sounded. This was the Arrow-class Scout, 9.5 meters long, without Hyperspace Capability or atmospheric combat capability. Its maximum acceleration was 100G. It was equipped with two basic Electromagnetic Cannons, both mounted on the left side of the hull with limited ammunition in order to make room for the Afterburner.

The projection then changed to a somewhat stockier craft. It had a rectangular hull, with the cockpit protruding from the right side and two six-barreled Electromagnetic Cannons mounted in the middle. The Mainframe continued, "This is the Blade-class Light Fighter. It is 11.3 meters long, without Hyperspace Capability or atmospheric combat capability. Its maximum acceleration is 85G, and it is equipped with two six-barreled Electromagnetic Cannons."

Tang Xiao completely ORZed...

"Administrator, what's wrong?" Qi Jian hurried over to ask.

Tang Xiao took a long while to recover, then cleared his throat. "So aside from these two pieces of junk, we're basically completely defenseless right now, correct? Mainframe, give me an explanation! You dared to come colonize with this little?"

There was no record in the database of how our mothership began its colonization plan. However, it can be confirmed that we possess very little, and although the mothership originally had shipyard modules capable of constructing cruisers, the massive Embryo Bank took up most of the space in order to carry five billion Cryo-embryos. Before a separate Space Shipyard is constructed, we currently only have the capacity to produce fighters and transport ships.

"What if enemies attack us? What do we do then?" Tang Xiao asked, rubbing his temples.

According to preliminary scans, there are no other habitable planets within fifty light-years of this star system. Therefore, this colony possesses a minimum degree of security.

"It's all right, Administrator! Our database contains extremely comprehensive ship data!" Qi Jian reassured him, with a trace of pride in his voice. "Have you forgotten? It was you who bestowed this supreme honor upon us, allowing us to board this incomparable mothership!"

"Database? Mainframe, what exactly is in our database?" Tang Xiao turned and asked.

The database contains data on many other spacecraft, including gigantic motherships exceeding 74,000 meters in length. However, data alone is not enough to construct these spacecraft. The Research Department must first transform that data into production capability, which requires a great deal of time and resources.

Tang Xiao's heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "Show me what ships are available."

A flood of data and entries immediately appeared before him, dazzling his eyes. It contained not only spacecraft, but also technological data covering every aspect of civilian life, society, culture, and more.

This made him curious. In his memory, the game Homeworld should not have had so many spacecraft. Even counting all the games in the Homeworld series together, there should have been no more than a hundred at most. So where had this star-like multitude of projects come from?

But just then, some familiar silhouettes flashed past Tang Xiao's eyes...

Wait... Raven-class Battleship? Minotaur-class Battlecruiser? Kohl-class Battlecruiser? Orion-class Assault Carrier? Endless-class Supercarrier? Seeing those familiar names and familiar designs, Tang Xiao's mouth opened wider and wider until his jaw nearly hit the floor.

"What's going on? This magnificent database... does it include data from every space sci-fi game?" Tang Xiao murmured.

More precisely, it is games the author has played&&%$#%$#System Error(^%$$. Repairs complete. The Mainframe suddenly emitted a burst of static before continuing: This data already existed in the database. No other information, including its origins, is included.

"Wait! Then that one over 74,000 meters long... it can't be, can it?" Tang Xiao suddenly thought of something and hurriedly searched the list. Sure enough, an incomparably magnificent golden warship appeared before him. "S-Spear of Adun? It really is the Spear of Adun!! The Protoss mothership from StarCraft!"

Correct. This mothership is named Spear of Adun. Its total length is 74,550 meters.

"Can we build the Spear of Adun? What are the requirements?" Tang Xiao was so excited that even his voice trembled.

We currently have no possibility of constructing the Spear of Adun. Even if we could meet the requirements for workers and resources, the enormous gap in manufacturing processes would prevent us from producing even the smallest component of the Spear of Adun. Construction can only begin after our Research Department has analyzed and absorbed the Spear of Adun's data.

Tang Xiao gave a bitter smile. He immediately understood that this outcome had been predictable. "Ah, I understand. The Protoss technological system is completely different from ours. Building something like that is simply impossible."

"Administrator, what are the Protoss?" Qi Jian asked.

"Nothing. Filter out those impractical projects and show me the spacecraft we can currently build." Tang Xiao waved a hand.

The mothership's built-in production lines can only manufacture two types of combat craft: the Arrow-class Scout and the Blade-class Light Fighter. There is also a small transport ship that can move cargo between the planet and the mothership. Constructing larger spacecraft requires building a Space Shipyard. In addition, there are some technologies with manufacturing processes similar to ours that the Research Department should be able to analyze quickly. Would you like them listed?

"No need. We don't have the space or resources to invest in research for the time being." Tang Xiao shook his head and returned to business, turning toward the civilian staff. "Have the supplies aboard the mothership been sorted out?"

"They have. Just as the Core Computer said, our supply reserves have already fallen far below the red line. The Agriculture Department just sent word that most of the crops in the Hydroponics Bay have withered, mainly due to mechanical failures in the bays." A female clerk answered, "So the best option is to begin landing as soon as possible. We should be able to find food on the planet."

"Qi Jian, arrange for another five Arrow-class Scouts and twenty Blade-class fighters to be produced. Wake twenty pilots and ensure the mothership's basic security first. Then send Transport Aircraft down to scout Dawn Star and determine a landing site. Wake another fifty Marines and have them on standby at all times. What equipment does our army have?"

"Five thousand assault rifles, two hundred General Purpose Machine Guns, and one hundred Pistols. That's all." Qi Jian checked the supplies.

These things weren't even electromagnetic weapons... Tang Xiao felt like crying. He waved a hand and said, "All right. At least they're enough to hunt ordinary animals and people. Get these matters arranged as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Qi Jian quickly stood at attention and saluted, then immediately threw himself into work.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Tang Xiao thought for a moment and called Qi Jian back. "This place will be the starting point of our journey through this unfamiliar universe. From now on, we will name this habitable planet Dawn Star Planet! This will also be our new home!"

"Yes! Dawn Star Planet! This is our new home!" Qi Jian gave a heavy salute, overwhelmed with excitement.

Everyone else on the bridge immediately stood and saluted as well. Then they broke into applause, sharing their excitement with one another.

Yet as Tang Xiao watched the cheering crowd, he sighed. There was not a trace of joy on his face as he blankly sat back down. After the earlier surprise, his mood gradually sank. Though he was surrounded by jubilant people in the command center, unease began to fill his heart.

Before being transported here, he had just graduated from a decent university and was preparing to enter the workforce, full of hopes for every part of his life. But now he had come to this place... His former life was completely beyond his reach, and he had to bear the burden of hundreds of thousands of people.

He had not forgotten that dream, nor the Star Wars battlefield from it. If this truly was Star Wars, then the war raging within it spanned the entire galaxy. The number of people drawn into that war might be counted in hundreds of millions or trillions. What he had in his hands truly amounted to nothing.

Is it really Star Wars... Tang Xiao sighed inwardly.
