I go into the Research Lab and immediately stood in front of the Black Gem in front of me... Straight away, I touch the tube and then ask the system "Analyze what's inside of this tube for me."
Then, the system does it for me. Since Gaidos is busy working on the ship, Gaidos isn't here to analyze what's in front of me. Leaving it to the actual system.
[Dark Abyss Gem.]
[A rare Gem that can only be mined in the planet The Deep Abyss Mine. Having the purest quality of any Energy Gem and having the ability to store Abyssal Energy and create Abyssal Energy automatically. A stone this big, which is roughly 10 meters in size, is able to create an Abyssal Energy enough to pierce any defense mechanism of Interstellar Ark. Dark Abyss Gem can also be used to fuel a ship using its Abyssal Energy. Although needing a specialized engine to utilize it properly.]
That's what I read in the screen in front of me. Although the Gem doesn't particularly sound too great, it is actually perfect for anyone. Because it can be used as an energy source and also attacking.
"I guess, they used this for their main cannon. The Energy they used was too big that they cannot maintain a proper defense mechanism of their ship and that's why the Ship is wreck like this..." That's the observation that I could make based on the information given to me.
That's the big flaw of this Gem, it seems like "You cannot overutilize this gem at this size. Since controlling a ship this big would require so much energy. Shooting and Keeping the Ship running is such a stupid decision..." If it were me, I would definitely broke this gem into much smaller pieces and create a specialized energy chamber for each utility.
"System, how do I broke this gem into smaller pieces?" I asked the System once again because I don't want to rashly does thing and break it without any proper knowledge.
[In order to break the Dark Abyss Gem, you need to use a piece of equipment that is also made by Dark Abyss Gem. The quality of cuts depends on the quality of the equipment to cut it too. Any rough cut would decrease the energy gathering and output.] The system explained.
"Interesting... I feel like there's only a few people that can cut this without problem." I immediately thought of the survivor of brother and sister that I found.
They're powerful people, it should be possible for them to do it. For now though, I think I should try to find some things that I can use to cut the Dark Abyss Gem.
And so, I went ahead and go to the Captain's Quarter to find a spare weapon that might be able to cut this thing. Since, the captain of this ship should be able to cut the energy source, at least their weapon could.
Fortunately, I found quite a good greatsword that has the same quality of the Gem... Even without asking the system I could see that this sword is that of a Dark Abyss Gem...
I went back to the Research Lab. I broke the tube and then cut it in two, but the other half is much bigger. It was 10 meters. I cut one into 7 meters and the other into 3 meters.
"Great. Now, I need to find a spare engine in this ship and upgrade my own engine. While the 3 meters Dark Abyss Gem, I will use them for my own personal project..."
Now that I have the means to create my own weapons, it's only natural that I go ahead and make some personal project to get myself stronger... Especially if I want to kill the Space Worm...
I latch the massive gems to my body suit and it was very heavy due to how dense it is...
Eventually, I reach my ship and it's clearer to see that my ship is much bigger in size, due to the addition of Armory, Smithy, Storage Area, Weaponry and Advanced Stealth System...
"Gaidos. I have brought you some more upgrades. Can you continue to upgrade the ship?" I honestly don't know how Gaidos upgrade the ship automatically, because I got distracted so I didn't see how it is.
So, I'll be using this opportunity to see how Gaidos actually upgrade the ship...
"I see you brought the Medical Station equipment. I also saw a Dark Abyss Gem for what I assume for an advanced energy supply and your personal project... You also bring a Dark Abyss Gem Greatsword and also Engine Specialized for Dark Abyss Gem Energy... Overall, you have brought many interesting thing. Which I honestly can integrate to the ship right now."
"Great. Do you need anymore spare materials? I could cut the space ships around me easily with the Greatsword I have..." I have learned the basic of any weaponry because that's how Damien Lilles is. He is a master of all weapons and that helped him to fight in any range. Although mostly he fought ranged...
"Honestly, now that the upgrade has been made, you do not need to manually scavenge for materials anymore, Captain. As now, we have a proper nanobots that can harvest the material for you. I can control them to roam the spaceships and grab any necessary materials." Upon explaining that, I can kind of understand how he would upgrade the ships.
I retrieved quite a lot of nanobots for him and I guess he immediately control them to work upon the ship, hence why the ship is upgraded really fast. Now that they have their own station as a base... Gaidos can control them to grab things for me...
"Interesting... Well then, is this how Damien Lilles become the Galaxy Overlord? With you helping him?"
"Not exactly. Captain Damien Lilles became the Galaxy Overlord before he created me. In fact, all the information that I have is from Captain Damien Lilles."
"Then, why are you so willing to help me? It's not like you are obliged to help me, do you? In fact, why didn't you help the Horizon Grace in the first place?"
"Ah, about that. It's because not everyone can utilize me, you know? Anyway... Let's not talk about that now. Captain, you will learn about why that is when you walk deeper in the way of Captain Damien Lilles. For now, don't overthink stuff."
I don't know why Gaidos suddenly withhold information. But I need to keep that in mind. Let's see where this path of Damien Lilles takes me and eventually everything will reveal itself.
"Alright then. Can you go ahead and upgrade the ship once again then?"
"Of course. You can go ahead and check the newly made area, Captain. I will give you the information of the upgrade through the system."
I did as Gaidos said. I put away my spacesuit and then walk around the ship. Checking out the new stuff...
