Li Pan didn't have time to delve deeper. Once the Smart Chip takeover of the BEACON server was complete and confirmed to be problem-free, he reconnected the beacon to the QVN network to go online...
"KAWAWU, repair task completed, confirm navigation beacons, contact Kepler..."
"Lieutenant, the Intelligent Assistance System has stopped running, it disconnected right after connecting to the QVN, and now it can't start up."
"What?"
Li Pan frowned and checked the records on the cruiser-class mainframe, discovering that indeed, the newly replaced beacon chip had just connected to the network, was updating local Star Map data, and then suddenly went offline and could not be restarted.
Another chip malfunction? It couldn't be that both chips had issues, right?
An interference source? No, that couldn't be it. There was no disruption in the communication between the engineering team and the ship team, and there was no physical damage to the space station, right?
