"Can every navigator achieve a state of perfect harmony between man and ship?!"

"I... am making a contribution to this world!"

"Do you know that?! Do you know that?!"

Gan Lan became more and more agitated as she spoke, her once calm eyes now filled with madness.

"so..."

"Is this what your family calls...equality for all?"

If that's the case...

"Sorry! I disagree!"

"What I believe in as 'the unity of man and boat' is the union of souls achieved through trials and tribulations, not some fabricated emotion created by 'stimulating feelings'!"

"What is that? False self-pity?"

As for [ship skills]...

"These are skills that all navigators have learned and mastered through study and effort. If skills can be mastered without effort, then what is the point of skills?"

"at last..."

"The big data analysis strategy you mentioned?"

"The biggest difference between humans and machines is that humans always have an element of uncertainty. I call this element persistence, perseverance, ingenuity, cunning, and miracles..."

"Human greatness lies in a moment of inspiration, a moment of conception; a vast database can never replace the boundless soul of a person!"

With a wave of his hand, Zheng Hao turned to leave floor -14.

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together..."

"I have absolutely no interest in your plan."

"Ho—"

"Mr. Zheng, technology has always been meant to make things easier for everyone. Haven't you ever considered that future [ship girl] racing might be a clash of technologies?"

"If an auxiliary chip is connected, even a bedridden navigator could return to the competition?"

Gan Lan stared intently at Zheng Hao's retreating figure. Zheng Hao turned around and shrugged noncommittally: "You're right, everything has a good side and a bad side."

"If technology is used the way you say it, it's indeed a good thing..."

"So, can I leave now?"

Zheng Hao doesn't want to face a bunch of "human-machine" opponents in future matches.

what?

Is every match just a different map, and you're playing against a bunch of big data?

Why don't we just skip the human players and watch robot battles instead?

even...

If it really comes to that, the organizers could even control the big data and decide which robot will win if they wanted to.

In that case, racing competitions would lose their purpose.

"Mr. Zheng..."

I'm glad you understand me...

"However, you still seem to be quite resistant to the [Tasius Family Chip]."

"This will not affect our subsequent communication."

Let's get straight to the point!

"We've discovered that every time you use a [ship skill], it greatly stimulates the emotions of the [ship girls]. In other words, you are the most likely person to cause a [ship girl] to break through her attribute values..."

"【Limit-Breaking Ship Girl - Shattered Star】, have you heard of her?"

Ganlan went straight to the elevator and this time pressed the button for the "-18" floor.

What do you mean by that?

Zheng Hao followed without expression.

The ship girls on floor -14 all volunteered to participate in the experiment. They wanted to compete and win using the chip, and Zheng Hao had nothing to say. It was their personal choice.

"Ho—"

"I said we want to create a world where everyone is equal!"

"A monster like [Shattered Star] can break through limits on its own. Don't you think that's unfair to the other ship girls?"

"What? You want to create a data-driven 'ship girl' to match her?"

"clever!"

Kale grinned.

"Ding-dong~"

at the same time!

The elevator doors on floor -18 have opened!

"Buzz—"

In the pitch-black room, a bright light was turned on, and a "ship girl" with black hair covering her eyes, an expressionless face, and wearing a gray dress, about 1.73 meters tall, was placed in a "cultivation chamber" as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Behind her, amidst the shimmering water, the light and shadow of a [medium-sized ship girl] were displayed.

The ship is 14.4 meters long, 4.4 meters wide, and has a mast height of 14.4 meters. Its entire body is covered in a gray, light-film-like material.

Strangely, the entire light membrane was exhibiting a slow, twisting, and rotating light pattern.

【Möbius Strip - Stable Type 2】

Propeller speed: 192

Lateral Stability: 182

[Sail mast wind capacity: 190]

[Hardness: 166]

[Anchor Stability: 168]

[Range: 199]

[Skill: Space Folding]

[Space Folding (Inside): The Möbius Ring can warp the surrounding space. When the ship warps the surrounding space, space tears in a 20x20 area. The ship then extends beyond the torn space, allowing for rapid jumps and warps!]

[Space Folding (External): The Möbius Ring can distort the space where other ship girls are located. When space expands and tears outward, the area where the ship girl is located collapses. The ship girl cannot pass through the collapsed area and is automatically teleported to a 20*20 area!]

[Overall rating of the ship girl: SSS-]

"SSS-class ship girl?!"

Watching the data of the sleeping [ship girl] flicker in the incubation chamber.

For a moment, Zheng Hao and Mo Yurou both fell silent!
