However, compared to the consumption and forcefully activating normal mode, this is much less. Ethan Brooks only needs to keep himself in a semi-meditative state to barely sustain this level of consumption.

24 minutes later, Number Two's voice sounded in his mind again.

“Beep! Cracking complete! Highest authority of the ‘Moonlight’ ship’s AI obtained. Connect to ‘Moonlight’ AI information?”

“It really worked, I’ve taken control of the ‘Moonlight’!?”

When the final message came through, a trace of delight appeared on Ethan Brooks’s usually calm and composed face.

Chapter 9 Mecha

“Connect.”

As soon as the command was given, a new signal fluctuation appeared in Ethan Brooks’s mental perception.

“Honorable Supreme Commander Ethan Brooks, greetings. I am the main control system ‘Moonlight’ of the ‘Moonlight’ ship. It is my honor to serve you.”

“Ship self-check!”

“Self-check program running... Beep, self-check results: 100% damage in the living quarters, 99.03% damage in the weapons operations area, 98.25% damage in the energy supply area, 95.21% loss in the training area, 62.11% loss in the daily maintenance area, 11.21% loss in the main control area... Beep beep beep! Insufficient energy, energy missing in the energy supply area, please provide an energy source!”

Ethan Brooks looked at the three-dimensional projection displayed by the Moonlight’s AI, and, as expected yet still somewhat surprised, shook his head.

This battleship’s damage rate has already exceeded 85%. It could be thrown into a space junkyard. Although some areas are still running, it’s just barely hanging on.

He checked the energy level.

The energy slot of a planet-class battleship has a maximum of 30 million points, but only 71 points remain. The fact that the ship’s AI is still running is a miracle.

“Display the daily maintenance area. Activate all available maintenance robots. Use every possible resource to repair the ship. Activate all energy detection robots to search for energy. Activate all energy collection robots to gather energy. Once resource reserves meet the standard, establish a signal station and send a signal southward, with signal strength covering 500 kilometers...”

Ethan Brooks issued 134 commands in one breath.

At this moment, the only thing he could feel fortunate about was that the energy supply area still had 1.75% undamaged, preserving one energy detection robot and three energy collection robots. Otherwise, this battleship would have no chance of ever restarting.

Watching as the doors in many parts of the ship opened and maintenance robots busily extinguished fires and repaired critical areas, Ethan Brooks felt a bit of regret.

“In three years, this battleship probably won’t even be able to start up normally, let alone fly again. With only three energy collection robots... the energy collected each day would be just 30 points, and that’s assuming there are energy mines.”

Giving up on the idea of restarting the battleship, Ethan Brooks had already arrived beneath the ship.

With the highest authority, entering the ship was unimpeded.

“‘Moonlight’, display all medicines.”

Upon entering the ship, Ethan Brooks first considered the issue of medicine.

Originally, to treat Logan Foster, collecting herbs, preparing ointments, and administering them both internally and externally would have taken a lot of effort. However, if enough medicine was preserved on the ship, he could adopt other treatment plans, making it extremely easy to cure him.

“Beep! Medicine inventory list displayed...”

After looking for a while, Ethan Brooks quickly selected a large number of medicines for treatment. Some of these medicines had extremely significant effects on muscle strain recovery, physical strength, and cell activity. With these medicines for conditioning, his physical fitness could definitely make another breakthrough in a short time.

“Revival agent, BSM nutrient solution, A-31 healing fluid, all are available. Once I return, Logan Foster will be able to recover in a short time.”

Glancing at the item list, Ethan Brooks felt relieved.

With Logan Foster able to recover, Yunlai Sword Sect would have a high-level swordsman to hold the fort.

In less than an hour, Ethan Brooks had prepared all these medicines and packed them up.

“Next, the weapons area!”

This world is full of dangers—no one knows what will happen in the next second. He must have enough power to ensure his own safety.

He absolutely did not want, nor would he allow himself, to experience again what happened at Yunlai Sword Sect, where his life and death were completely in someone else’s hands.

“Check weapon inventory!”

Soon, Ethan Brooks arrived at the severely damaged weapons bay.

“Beep! Weapons area damage rate 99.03%. All metals with a durability below 85 are damaged. Remaining... one A-02 mecha, damage rate 15.28%; two B-09 mechas, damage rates 71.35% and 61.22% respectively.”

“Damage rates of 71% and 61%... When a mecha’s damage rate reaches 40%, various malfunctions occur, endangering the pilot’s life. Above 60%, it can’t even start. At 80% damage, it’s basically scrap metal, not even worth repairing. Although these two mechas still have repair value, unfortunately, with my current situation and resources, there’s no way to repair them...”
