Chapter 187 Preparation
After returning from Tianji Province, Duanmu Huai could finally relax for a while.
The Tribunal built within the empire's territory is gradually expanding. For Duanmu Huai, this continent has become a very good recruiting world. On the other hand, after witnessing the power of space battleships with their own eyes, the guardian civilization also began to place orders with Duanmu Huai. It is obvious that the Tower Council has decided to at least build a guardian fleet to protect the civilization and civilization of their galaxy. Safety.
Fortunately, the previous Kabal clan did not have a battleship like Duanmu Huai. Otherwise, if one shot was fired, the entire holy city would be destroyed. How about a ghost?
"Very good, everything went well."
Sitting behind the desk, looking at the report in his hand, Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction. The transaction with the guardian civilization did not use money. Because of the collapse of the empire, there is no unified currency in the galaxy now, so Duanmuhuai adopts the method of Using the barter method, Duanmu Huai can use the void dock to build the warships needed by the guardian civilization, and what the guardian civilization needs to pay is XN times the resources needed to build the warships.
After all, Duanmu Huai himself wanted to build a fleet.
It’s just that the Guardian civilization is really poor. Although they have now begun to restart mining facilities on other planets, considering that the Guardians are short of money, they only sent a Sword-class frigate and a Viper-class to Duanmu Huai. Orders for guided-missile destroyers and a Lunar-class cruiser.
There was nothing we could do about it. After all, the imperial battleships were originally driven by machine souls. After obtaining Yajin Technology, Duanmuhuai made major changes to the imperial battleships and redesigned a series of automated processes to reduce manpower as much as possible. need. But even so, a battleship still needs half the original manpower to be dispatched.
Duanmu Huai doesn’t have to worry, after all, he has enough puppets to control them, but the Guardian Civilization can’t find so many people to pilot the battleship at the moment, and they need to be retrained...
The most important thing is that there are not many people who protect civilization.
In addition to the Glory Queen-class flagship, the Tribunal fleet currently affiliated to Duanmu Huai has two more Moon-class cruisers under construction. Together with the Wanyi giant ship he captured from Kabal, it is enough to destroy a galaxy. , it can be said that Duanmu Huai's current Tribunal fleet has begun to take shape.
By the way, Duanmu Huai also changed Kabal's Wanyi giant ship beyond recognition. Except for the main gun, which is the core of the battleship and can be used to detonate stars, he dismantled all other parts and changed them all. With macro cannons and light spears, coupled with close-range air defense turrets, the current Wanyi giant ship is more like a cosmic fortress than a battleship.
In addition, in exchange, Duanmuhuai also received a core technology from the guardian - reorganization.
One thing to note here is that the "teleportation" used by the guardians is not actually teleportation at all.
For example, during a battle, you can often see a guardian driving a small shuttle and then arriving in front of an enemy warship. Then the next moment, the guardian disappears from the cockpit and then appears on the enemy warship.
At the beginning, Duanmuhuai thought this was some kind of teleportation technology of space teleportation.
But after he talked with the guardian's wit, he was surprised to find that this was not a space teleportation at all, but a reorganization!
Yes, the whole process is actually like this - when the guardian drives the shuttle to the destination, the guardian will be decomposed by cleverness, which means that in a strict sense, the guardian at this moment no longer exists In this world, you can say that it's okay for him to die.
Then, Smart will reorganize the entire guardian's data, project it onto a new location, and resurrect him.
Therefore, the whole process is not a process of spatial transmission, but a process of decomposition-reorganization.
In fact, the guardians use similar technology to summon their own vehicles. Otherwise, why would they be running around on the street with such a big motorcycle?
Of course, this technology also has limitations. The guardian is connected to the clever spirit with light energy and can be resurrected infinitely, so it can be played like this. Ordinary people will inevitably die after being decomposed, so don't expect to be resurrected.
But for Duanmu Huai, this technology opened a window for him!
Light energy is also a way to use spiritual energy. In other words, as long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, Duanmu Huai can also use this technique. It has been said before that soul walkers can anchor world fragments in the real world to stabilize the subspace order and avoid overheating and distortion. Now Duanmu Huai has anchored on the flagship the fusion of world fragments of the two continents of Manalia and Nirn, where the empire is located. In other words, within the space of the two continents centered on the flagship, Whether in the real universe or in subspace, order is stable and stable.
This also means that in this area, Duanmu Huai can use psychic energy to his heart's content without fear of overheating and space distortion!
In this way, Duanmu Huai can also use this technology to reorganize and disassemble the warships within the range countless times!
Don't underestimate this, this is how the Guardian is resurrected, which means that in this area, even if Duanmu Huai's battleship is destroyed, he can still be resurrected with full health like the Guardian!
Of course, it is impossible to switch to an ordinary battleship. After all, ordinary battleships need people to operate them. Although this decomposition and reorganization technology can reorganize inorganic substances, it cannot reorganize living bodies. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai's battleships are all controlled by puppets with zero consumption, and the puppets themselves are not living beings, so they will naturally not be affected.
Although the Queen of Glory class as the flagship is not included in this list, for Duanmu Huai, being able to apply this technology on a battleship is already quite good.
It’s not like there are no players in the game who have thought about doing this, but it’s a pity that there is a lack of conditions. After all, the battleship needs to be controlled, and the inquisitor cannot create an intelligent AI, and it is obviously not worthwhile to disassemble and reorganize the battleship with human hands on it... But now. , Duanmuhuai doesn’t have to worry about this problem.
Of course, this technology is not without its flaws. Just like the Guardian claims to be able to be resurrected infinitely, it is not without its weaknesses. That is, if the guardian's intelligence is defeated, the guardian will not be able to be resurrected when he dies again, and he will be completely dead.
In the same way, if the Glory Queen class as the core of the projection is destroyed, then other battleships will also be unable to reorganize. To put it simply, Duanmu Huai's flagship is actually equivalent to assuming the responsibility of a large-scale smart ship.
After these two moon-class cruisers are built, they can prepare to set off back to Novice Village. Calculating the time, there should be enough time - well, I hope I don't see the Novice Village explode when I go back.
Duanmu Huai currently has more than 10,000 night guards, plus 3,000 warrior souls recruited from the Annihilation Realm, and 2,000 guardians... which should be enough to fight against the attacks of Chaos.
"Click————"
Just as Duanmuhuai was thinking about the next trip, the cabin door suddenly opened, and then Audrey walked in with a pot of tea.
"Master, please drink tea."
"Oh, thank you."
Hearing Audrey's words, Duanmuhuai raised his head and nodded to her. Then Audrey came to Duanmuhuai's table, poured a cup of tea for him and Ogis, and then put down the tea tray in his hand. Stand aside quietly.
"...I said, don't you have anything else to do?"
Duanmuhuai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Audrey and asked in confusion. After returning to Manalia, An and Gu Leiya also went to report to their fathers respectively. Audrey stayed as Duanmu Huai's personal maid.
But to be honest... Duanmu Huai feels that this personal maid...
It's really useless.
There are maids on the battleship who are responsible for cleaning and cooking. There is nothing else that Audrey needs to do. In fact, she basically wakes up Duanmu Huai every day, brings him meals, and then takes a bath. A pot of tea, and then just stood there motionless.
To be honest, after a long time, Duanmu Huai began to wonder if she was actually a doll.
"It is my duty to serve the master."
"…………"
Hearing Audrey's faint answer, Duanmuhuai shook his head helplessly. He and Audrey didn't get along for a long time, but Duanmuhuai felt that he could understand why the son of the Duke had no interest in Audrey.
Frankly speaking, Audrey is very beautiful, with a slender figure, white and tender skin, black hair as smooth and bright as satin, and she also has fighting ability. If it were an ordinary man, he would definitely be attracted to her at first sight.
But as time goes by, you will find that this young lady is really lacking in anything.
There are many girls around Duanmu Huai, and it can be said that they all have their own charms.
Ann is lively and cheerful, and just being around her makes you feel relaxed and happy.
Although Gulea is taciturn and introverted, she also has a gentle and considerate side.
Lorena is always full of energy, and she can often be seen running along the dozens of kilometers of corridors while greeting others energetically.
Bambi is even more adorable, as clingy as a kitten.
Even Feilin always likes to hold those travel guides and scenery albums, wandering around like a wandering mind, which looks quite interesting. Not to mention Ogis.
But what do you say about Miss Audrey... Duanmu Huai feels like an unimportant NPC in the game. Players can only get a few fixed answers when chatting with her.
"Hello, traveler."
"I'm here admiring the garden."
"Thank you for your concern, traveler."
Then there is no more.
Duan Muhuai's point is that the other girls all have their own charms, but Audrey feels like a piece of dry bonito on the inside, with no taste at all.
To be honest, even the artificial angel Mia makes Duanmu Huai feel more interesting than Audrey. At least no matter what happens, she always has a sweet and lazy tone, and it seems like nothing is wrong. It's quite interesting that he takes it seriously.
If Duanmu Huai was asked to choose, if he had other choices, he would definitely not choose to marry a woman like Audrey.
It's so boring to be nothing but pretty.
The thought of marrying this kind of woman and living this kind of life every day......
Well, I have to admit that the succubus is indeed stronger than her.
"I have some things to do, you go down and rest first."
Duanmu Huai recovered his thoughts and spoke. The latter didn't say anything, just lowered his head silently, then turned and left.
"Click."
As the hatch closed again, Duanmuhuai sighed, and then he looked at Ogis.
"To be honest, this young lady is really troublesome. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Ogis silently turned over a page of the book.
"Too much fear and too little confidence is cowardice."
"…………Ogis?"
"What's the matter? Master?"
"Read less chicken soup for the soul and philosophy books, that stuff is not good for people."
"But isn't this a book written by humans?"
Ogis raised the book in her hand, with "How to Make You a Better Person" written on the cover.
"Eighty percent of books like this written by humans are delusions."
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
"Few people can do the nonsense in this book."
"But men call them philosophers and write books about their remarks?"
"Most philosophers die badly, so you can think of it as a collection of crazy rants made by mentally ill patients before committing suicide."
"But it seems reasonable?"
"It just makes sense."
Duanmu Huai curled his lips.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. What do you think of that young lady?"
"My words......"
"Huh?"
"I think it might be easier to communicate with you if you, Master, weren't so scary."
"……………………Thank you for your sincere opinions."
This was not the first time that he had been stabbed in the back by his most trusted puppet, Duanmu Huai had long been used to it.
"What else?"
"Hmm..."
This time, Ogis did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment.
"…………Let her become the master’s woman?"
"Poof——————!!!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai spit out a mouthful of black tea.
"What the hell is this?"
"It is written in the book that the young lady who was originally arrogant and arrogant, after being forcibly possessed by the male protagonist, instead of feeling hatred, actually fell in love with that man - human beings are really complex and strange creatures. ”
"Wait, what book are you reading? Where did it come from?"
"It's Miss Lorena's reading book. I heard that I found it in the library before."
“……………………”
A missionary priest, do you think this is appropriate?
It seems that in the future, I will need to sort the recycled books into different categories.
