After confirming that all preparations were complete, Osiris initiated the complete isolation protocol for the dedicated cabin.
The heavy alloy gate slowly descended, completely isolating the interior space from the rest of the warship.
An independent energy system has been activated to ensure that the repair process is not affected by any external interference.
Environmental monitoring showed that indoor radiation levels, temperature, humidity, and other parameters were all within the ideal range.
Osiris' massive mechanical body moved to the front of the STC system's main control panel, and his mechanical tentacles connected to the system interface.
He first executed the standard shutdown procedure, putting the system into deep standby mode.
The modules of the energy reading display system stopped operating in sequence, the light emitted by the spherical body gradually dimmed, and finally only the basic maintenance power was retained.
After shutting down the system, Osiris took out the Dimensional Cube from the armor's built-in vault.
The surface of this ancient device is covered with strange energy patterns. As authentication commands are input, the Rubik's Cube begins to rotate and unfold, revealing the precious items stored inside.
He retrieved the repaired STC cell from the core storage area.
This unit is rectangular in shape, about the size of a palm, and has a dark gold color throughout.
Its surface is smooth and flat, with no visible interfaces or buttons; only the dazzling golden light on its surface indicates that it is no ordinary object.
To an observer unaware of its purpose, it is simply a beautifully crafted metal block.
Osiris placed the repair unit on the surface of the STC system's main control console.
According to the instructions, he entered a specific sequence of activation commands.
The moment the command was issued, fine geometric patterns began to appear on the surface of the repair unit. These patterns gradually lit up, emitting a soft golden light.
The change then occurred.
The repair unit unfolds automatically, its internal structure blooming like a delicate mechanical flower.
Countless fine golden energy threads extended from it, dancing in the air as if they were alive, precisely connecting to the various key nodes of the STC system.
The main control console, the spherical body, the robotic arm assembly, and the auxiliary equipment—every part of the system is covered by a network woven from these energy threads.
The moment the connection was completed, a dazzling golden halo radiated outward from the repair unit.
Where the halo swept across, the space seemed to undergo subtle changes.
A dazzling golden light enveloped the entire STC system, and countless particles of light appeared in the air, drifting slowly like golden dust.
The repair process is beginning to show results.
The surface of the spherical body of the STC system changes first at the damaged areas.
The rust marks caused by the passage of time began to fade, and the metal surface regained its original luster.
The broken cable was automatically reconnected, and the exposed interface was resealed.
A deep crack gradually healed under the influence of golden light particles, eventually disappearing completely.
The repair of the internal structure is being carried out simultaneously.
Monitoring data shows that the damaged energy conduit is being restored, the broken circuits are being reconnected, and the failed components are returning to normal one by one.
The database storage unit received a dense stream of read and write signals, and the lost data blocks were quickly reconstructed.
The corrosion marks inside the material synthesis reactor gradually faded, and the calibration parameters of the testing instruments automatically returned to the standard values.
Osiris closely monitored the restoration progress.
Every detail recorded by the optical sensor is analyzed in real time.
He noted that the repair was not a simple physical restoration, but a deeper "state reset".
The damaged parts are not replaced or repaired, but are directly restored to their perfect state, as if time has been reversed in a certain part.
As the repair work progressed, the functional modules of the STC system began to be launched one by one.
The manufacturing unit regained precise control over material synthesis, the design module was able to generate complete technical blueprints again, and the efficiency of the energy management system was increased to its theoretical maximum.
The status indicator lights on the monitoring screen changed from red to green one by one, and the system integrity reading continued to climb.
However, just as the system was about to fully recover, an anomaly caught Osiris' attention.
Although the physical structure of the core AI module has been repaired, its activation process remains at 99.9%.
Multiple restart attempts failed, and the AI core did not respond to any of the wake-up protocols.
Osiris retrieved the detailed diagnostic report.
Data shows that the hardware and basic software of the AI module have been fully restored, but the connection at the level of consciousness has not been established.
This situation is beyond the scope of restorative STC—it can repair damage at the physical level, but it cannot awaken a dormant consciousness.
After observing for an hour, Osiris confirmed that the AI had no hope of recovery.
He stopped further attempts to wake up the device and turned his attention to the final testing of other functional modules.
At this point, the energy output of the restorative STC begins to decrease.
The golden light gradually dimmed, the energy threads slowly retracted, and finally the repair unit folded back into its original rectangular shape.
The surface light completely went out, turning it into a dull metallic block.
Osiris retrieved the repair unit and confirmed that it had failed.
This precious ancient relic has completed its mission and is now merely a historical artifact of valuable research and commemorative significance.
Meanwhile, the repaired STC system began to boot up autonomously.
The spherical body emitted a brighter white light than ever before, the robotic arm smoothly completed the self-test procedure, and the holographic projector projected a complete system status diagram.
Monitoring data shows that the system's functionality is 99.8% complete, lacking only the active control of the AI core.
Database checks confirmed that all lost technical data has been recovered.
From basic materials science to cutting-edge weapons design, from civilian infrastructure to interstellar travel technology, countless valuable pieces of knowledge have become usable again.
System manufacturing capability tests show that it is now capable of producing more than 30,000 different technological products, with a technological level far exceeding the current Imperial standards.
Osiris began to perform functional verification on the repaired STC system.
Because the system's AI core failed to resume operation, he had to access the database directly through the manual interface.
He entered search commands into the console, using "security control", "automatic defense", and "patrol" as keywords to search.
The database quickly returned 734 relevant records.
After browsing, Osiris selected a template labeled "Lightweight Sentry Unit - Model 74".
This plan includes the complete design of an autonomous patrol robot, whose technological level is significantly higher than that of similar equipment currently in the Empire.
After selecting the template, Osiris entered the required materials list into the system.
He specifically designated the use of a new composite armor material that had been previously tested as the main structural material, while also incorporating some conventional metals and electronic components.
The system accepted the material request and immediately generated a detailed manufacturing plan.
The manufacturing process then commenced.
The material synthesis reactor begins operation, transforming basic raw materials into the required special materials.
Three robotic arms work together: one is responsible for forming the structural frame, one for assembling precision parts, and the last for integrating the electronic system.
The entire manufacturing process lasted about thirty minutes.
When the manufacturing was completed, a sleek security robot was presented on the workbench.
Its outer shell is made of a new type of composite armor material, which has a dark gray metallic luster.
The robot's sensor array includes multispectral observation devices and motion detectors, and its limb joints are reinforced, giving it excellent mobility.
After confirming that all functions of the security robot met the design specifications, Osiris continued to test the system's other manufacturing capabilities.
He successively trial-produced several different models of tools and equipment parts, and all products met the design standards and the material properties fully met expectations.
After completing all tests, Osiris lifted the isolation measures in the cabin. He then notified the team of tech priests to conduct system acceptance testing, preparing to officially put the fully restored STC system into scientific research and production use.
