《Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness》Chapter 16: Entering The Old Damaged Huge Space Cruiser
Advertisement
'So, what remains now are the cannons.'
James then moved after he issued the order for these self repair devices to move and aid him, he headed straight towards the heart of the cruiser. At the same time, that hologramic image kept following him floating in the air, which was something new for him as well.
It seemed the advancement of this system made it capable of using the old known parts of this cruiser to be used in new impressive ways. James then started to control his storage bracelet, as he took out one box after another till he took out 30 boxes.
He then held the necklace with the unsealing marvelous effect as he felt grateful for Forilak, without him he couldn't have obtained such a gem.
'Let's see what's inside these boxes.'
James then started to open one box after another. At first, he found a handful of boxes filled with guns, so he emptied all of them on the ground in one corner, as he might use them later when he got more crew members. From the fifth box, he started to find cannons.
When he finished, he had 6 boxes filled with guns, and 24 boxes filled with various types of cannons. If he added the cannon he had used before, then he had now 25 ready to use cannons.
Just as he finished, he noticed the presence of the repairing devices floating near him. There were five of them, which were similar to each other.
They all consisted of a floating central big ball, which acted as their control unit, and many thin metallic arms that had the ability to change shape, merge together, and use different techniques to repair the cruiser.
"C'mon, take all these cannons one by one and install them at the position marked with green color."
James knew these devices had some level of AI, although they weren't completely intelligent like those old antiques models of machines, but this level of AI was enough for them to receive orders and execute them.

James watched them as they started to carry these big heavy cannons like they were carrying small children, then they scattered in different directions to complete their mission.
James then moved back to the control deck, where the hologram began to change as it viewed the models of these devices and their performance.
The installation of these cannons didn't take more than three hours, but for James this was a negligent time. if he had to install them by himself, it would take more than one day to finish the task.
'Good, let's see if everything is right. That distant separated part of the big old cruiser would do the job. Let's test this system.'
James then controlled the defensive system to lock this far part of the huge ship. It was nearly on par with his small cruiser in size, so it would be a perfect practice target for his system.
Once locked, the system asked for permission to launch a hit towards it, which James agreed on without hesitation.
The system then chose the most appropriate cannon to attack this target, which was one of the hydrogilic cannons. Once chosen, it was automatically controlled by the defensive system and then triggered to hit the target.
'Wow, it's a direct hit even from this far distance. This system must have an advanced version of AI, or one of the old forgotten days of AI highly advanced versions. That's reassuring; I can now leave here without any worries.'
James then left the primary defensive system activated, and then he added himself and Eli as exemption from the radar of this system. He then checked on Eli, she was still in the same coma like before with no changes at all.
He sighed helplessly before moving out from the cruiser. He held one of the spear guns that he stacked in his cruiser, then he moved straight forward to that old huge cruiser.
According to some old records he read, this cruiser design belonged to an already destroyed empire that was lost in history. even James didn't recall what that empire name was, but he remembered some of the prominent features of the cruisers at this age.

The cruisers at this time were run by the help of an advanced AI, which worked instead of today's systems. The difference lied in the efficiency to execute orders, as these AI of the past always made troubles, as they used to interfere with the orders given to them.
In comparison to the systems, the latter would suggest these modifications to the captain of the cruiser, or those who had the authority, then they could decide if they would follow these adjustments or not. That was one of the main reasons which made the whole universe let down the AI help and seek for the system role.
During the way to that huge ship, James tried to recall every detail he read in the old records back at the base regarding the technology of that past era. He sighed, as he only recalled some scattered parts of it. If he had the choice, then he would have moved all the records and books there at that base as they held valuable rare data.
The war cruiser was really huge, as the closer he got to it, the more impression he had towards it. He felt as if he was an ant standing in front of a huge mountain. That cruiser was really big, and rusty too, but he needed to search all this from inside till he found the medical unit, which was a task he doubted to finish in a short time.
'I hope nothing bad happens to Eli while I'm away.'
He muttered to himself while entering through a huge opening that was like a big knife attack on the body of this cruiser. He had guessed that this hit was the one responsible for bringing down this ship from the space, but he didn't recognize the type of weapon used to cause such an attack.
'That must be an antique technology that is obsolete now.'
He said to himself as he passed through the thick metallic outer shell of the space cruiser. He knew from his readings that any big cruiser at old times was built from a double layered outer body, as the outer part acted as armor and the inner part would act as the main body of the cruiser.
As for the space in between them, it was filled with different types of energies that acted as a shield. Nowadays, this technique was outdated as there were more advanced technologies used in protection of these big war space cruisers.
Although it was day time the whole world, once he entered here he felt it was so dark like a night without stars, but he was prepared as he had a helping device that he took from the cruiser. It was one of the five repairing devices as he might need to somehow cut in the body of this cruiser if his path was blocked.
"Lights"
James ordered the flying device beside him to activate its torch which lightened the whole place. The flying device turned in moments to be like a shiny star which radiated light to the whole area around James. James found himself in a very huge space with many rust and dirt covering everything along his eyesight.
"Start your scanning for the interior of this ship and try to locate the medical unit."
This flying device was still connected to the advanced system of his small cruiser, so he gave this order for the system to run a scan for the whole ship in an attempt to find the medical unit if possible.
James knew this scan would take some time to finish, so he started to wander the place where he was at, as he tried to kill time and figure out which part of the huge old cruiser he was in right now. He didn't move for a few minutes before he froze in his place while muttering with extreme shock:
'What the hell is that?'
