Chapter 1951: Not Very Smart
On a battleship, almost all hatches can be controlled by the bridge, with the exception of the hatches of each member’s room in the living area.

The same type of operating system is used on the planetary fortress. The gate can be opened by a nearby terminal or by the central control room.

But we all know that things that are too complicated are not reliable, just like the space station on Earth that integrates the latest technology, the hatch for exiting the cabin is still a mechanical manual door, rather than an automatic door that opens with the push of a button.

Even on Alyssa’s side, there is no guarantee that the automatic machine will not make mistakes, so a manual opening mode will be prepared.

If you want to open it manually, you need a key, especially near important areas, where you need a key to open the door.

For example, the airlock door leading to the void, or the door leading to the warehouse from the foundry.

It’s not clear which door this thing opens, but it’s better to have it in hand than not to have it, what if it can be used?

Alyssa has already begun to calculate how many valuable parts are in the warehouse next to the foundry.

The group of red-robed men knew nothing about this and led Alyssa and the others to the so-called prayer room.

It is actually the control room of the foundry.

As soon as Alyssa came in, she saw that the wall on one side of the room was made of completely transparent glass. Through the glass, she could see densely packed automated production lines, steelmaking furnaces that glowed orange, and other equipment.

Under the glass is a relatively clean and tidy control console, as if someone wipes it regularly, so there is no dust, only the paint has peeled off in some places.

As for why there is a discrepancy in the name…

Alyssa discovered that when these guys controlled the equipment in the foundry, they would first pray to the console, and then go up and do some fancy operations randomly…

Damn, you guys are really lucky that the boiler didn’t explode for such a long time!
Alyssa is not a professional CNC technician, and she doesn’t know much about the equipment in the foundry, but she is definitely better than these guys who just know how to press buttons blindly.

I asked the soldiers who were accompanying them, and found out that one of them had run a small foundry at home before joining the army, so he had some knowledge about it.

After an inspection, the soldiers said that the so-called flame was about to disappear. On the one hand, it was because they accidentally pressed the power adjustment button, causing the temperature of the steel furnace to drop sharply. It could no longer melt the ore and needed time to slowly restart.

In addition, the energy supply seems a bit unstable.

It doesn’t take much energy to light a light bulb or start some household devices, but steelmaking is an extremely energy-intensive industry, and you can’t even think about it without a stable energy supply.

There are many reasons for this situation. For example, the reactor in the planet fortress is no longer capable of handling the needs. Another example is that there are some problems with the lines, or it may be a problem with the transformer. In short, it is difficult to determine the specific cause just by looking at the console.

Of course, Alyssa didn’t care about the specific reasons. They were just talking about the savior. Alyssa had no obligation to help these people solve the problem of the steel furnace.

But it’s a very useful banner.

So after listening to the soldier’s report, Alyssa turned to the group of red robes and said:

“I already understand where the problem lies. Did your sage leave a map? I need it. We will set out immediately to solve the problem.”

These words are said with great righteousness.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The people living near the foundry are indeed very civilized. It is probably related to those people from the Glow Ion Yin Society. Many things may have been taught by them.

But it was obvious that what they taught was not enough for this group of people to control the entire fortress. Alyssa asked these people for a map on the pretext of solving the problem. The latter did not doubt him and quickly took Alyssa to see it.

Similar to the map found in Kevin’s tribe before, both were engraved on a huge metal plate. The difference was that Kevin’s tribe took the map down from the wall, while this group of people put the map up for worship…

——They don’t seem very smart.

However, compared to the map found in Kevin’s tribe, the map here is better preserved and clearer, and the areas marked are different from the map obtained from Kevin.

This map mainly marks the work areas, including foundries, warehouses, cargo ports and the like.

Alyssa took a few photos and then said, “Just wait, we’ll be leaving soon.”

So, under the hopeful eyes of a group of red-robed men, everyone followed the instructions on the map and left the town, heading towards the warehouse area next to the foundry.

By the way, I still haven’t found a usable terminal.

There are several interfaces in the foundry, but no terminals.

Since every member of the Glow Ion Yin Order is a humanoid terminal, all they need is an interface, and there are very few places in the fortress where terminals need to be placed.

Alyssa tried putting the boot disk on the console in the foundry. Li Chengxi said that he could control the production line in the foundry, but that was all. He could not control more things.

This means that the foundry is completely independent and not connected to other places. We still need to find a terminal that can be connected to the entire fortress.

Now Alyssa and the others went straight to the warehouse. The warehouse manager would definitely need to use the terminal, so maybe there would be a chance to find one that could be used.

In addition, Alyssa wants to go treasure hunting. Although it conflicts with the direction to the command room and requires a detour, this matter is very important.

Everyone on the Swan has to be paid. No one will work for free. If you give up dismantling the wreckage of the warship and picking up scraps, you have to have other income.

Li Chengxi didn’t care. He didn’t care about the detour. It wouldn’t take him far, and it wasn’t urgent. He didn’t comment on what Alyssa did.

According to their physical sense, after Alyssa and her friends left the town of the red-robed people, they passed through the passage on the other side and were heading down.

But in fact, according to the location of the planet fortress, Alyssa and the others were actually moving towards the outer shell, but because of the artificial gravity, they had the illusion of moving downwards.

If they could see the outside of the planet fortress now, they would find that the Swan near the fortress seemed to be upside down, but in fact they themselves were upside down.

The foundry is not far from the warehouse, usually for convenient storage, and has a dedicated transportation channel.

Alyssa and her companions are now walking on this transport passage, which is wide and large. And because of the need to transport heavy objects, the strength of the passage itself is much higher than that of the cabins in the living area. There is no damage or collapse at all, and it is quite smooth to walk on.

The most important thing is that this area seems to be relatively close to the periphery, and there are not many signs of the portal being opened. At most, there are some oval holes on the road. Those are left after the portal was opened, but there are not many of them.

This passage is usually used to transport parts with a special automatic flatbed truck, but now that thing is gone, everyone can only walk.

After walking for about an hour, Alyssa felt that she should have arrived around the warehouse.

But we immediately discovered a problem: the area around here was flooded.
