It has been half an hour since Chen Jing was called to this cabin by RT5, and nothing has happened here so far.
Could it be that he stood me up? Chen Jing couldn't help but wonder. The door slowly opened, and Fenrir peeped in. "Friend, I brought you lunch."
"Yeah." Whenever this happened, Chen Jing couldn't help but sigh at Fenrir's cuteness. Such a well-behaved and cute child shouldn't be treated so roughly! However, Chen Jing was not so sure when he remembered that Fenrir actually had a dual personality to some extent.
Chen Jing was staring at Fenrir's face, thinking, when RT5 jumped in and shouted, "One good news and one bad news!"
"Stop playing around and tell me."
"The bad news is that our exploration has found that there are relatively few types of minerals here." That means there are fewer construction options.
"The good news is that the first issue is completely sufficient."
"The first issue?" Chen Jing asked.
RT5 nodded and waved her hand. A holographic projection appeared in the center of the cabin. "Look, these are the three frigates that started construction in the first phase. Then..." She waved her hand slightly downward, switching to a projection of a large number of ships. "These are the auxiliary ships for the second phase. By the time they start construction, the planets below should have been taken."
"How long will it take?" Chen Jing had heard of the term "Hundred-Year Navy" before he traveled through time. After all, starships and battleships are mobile structures that have a certain degree of independence from the rear base and fight in a wide space. Even though he knew that the technological level of this era was far higher than before, Chen Jing had to consider the time it took to build the ships.
Unless there's some "quick build" thing going on here. Is that even possible?
RT5 tapped his head and thought for a moment: "It should have been done in a month, but now it will take more than 50 days."
Chen Jing took a bite of the lunch Fenrir brought and asked, "Why?"
RT5 didn't start by saying, "Because of lack of materials."
"But didn't you just say that was enough?"
RT5's face showed a hint of panic. "Well... I have some materials to share, so I didn't mine enough."
Chen Jing frowned. It wasn't that he objected to RT5 keeping it a secret; he would have agreed anyway. He was mainly puzzled by the reasoning behind the secret. Chen Jing knew nothing about this subject. When he wrote his previous books, he'd just copied them from reference materials, choosing titles with his face on the keyboard. Hiding it from him was completely unnecessary. Unless Chen Jing knew about this, he'd have some extreme reaction.
"What are you doing?" Chen Jing was a little dissatisfied. If this matter threatened everyone's life but he didn't tell them, it would be really too much.
RT5 lowered his head. "It's not a big deal. We're just building a ship."
"What? You don't have to hide this from me. I don't know much about it, but building a ship isn't such a bad thing, is it?"
"That's generally true, but this one is different. She was once forbidden to build."
"Fuck, you're not building a Titan-class building, are you?" Chen Jing was a little surprised: "The Marshal chose to go in at the Seventh Ruins?"
The Titan-class warship is a very old vessel, but its performance is incredibly impressive. The first Titan was built in 45th year of the New Era, over a thousand years ago, and the last Titan in service was scrapped in 862, about two hundred years ago. Its legendary status lies in being the only "super-capital ship" in the entire human faction. Each Titan can rival a medium-sized star, and some can even rival an entire fleet. Because these ships are weak against Lich, they are generally used for transport and attacks against Lich vassals. However, after a ship of this class became the first anti-human capital ship omnic, production of the entire series was banned.
It's truly formidable. While other warships in the same series tend to have similar personalities, the Titan class loves to do the unexpected.
However, according to Chen Jing's setting, the construction drawings of the Titan class had long been lost, and the only time it was mentioned was in the seventh ruins.
In the book, that part of the plot was skipped. Chen Jing didn't know whether he went in or not. The intention was to leave the readers with suspense, but the hidden plot was never used until the end. It's fun to dig a hole, but it's a tearful thing to fill it.
"You knew that?" RT5 was also surprised. Logically, not many people should know about this.
Chen Jing nodded: "I am a fan of the Marshal."
"I can't tell. If you were a fan, you'd be licking my A-class, but you're not interested at all."
Chen Jing complained: "Could it be that you like being licked by the A-class?"
"Because cleaning is such a hassle, I might as well find a few perverts and arrest them after they're done."
Chen Jing was stunned: "Do our deck cleaners do splits in the air?"
"Hmm? It can be done, it's an omnic after all."
Chen Jing nodded, but he looked thoughtful, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Let's get back to the point. I must build the Titan anyway." With that kind of large battleship, RT5 will no longer be the first-order target of concentrated fire - it will be the second-order.
Chen Jing waved his hand: "It's up to you, it doesn't matter. As long as you can escape and survive, it's fine." He didn't have any enterprising ideas at all.
"Because it's still far away, please, Admiral, please keep it a secret. Please help me."
"Why are you so keen on this?" Chen Jing was a little curious. Speaking of which, RT5's personality also gave people a weird feeling.
RT5 smiled and said, "Because it's a super battleship, bigger is beautiful, more is better!"
"I feel like it's a waste of your talent to be on an interstellar carrier." So all the Guardians are Berserkers who specialize in errors?
"Hey, I'm a battleship, so I changed my equipment. The caliber of my main gun is..."
Chen Jing now had only two sentences in his mind: "Sir, times have changed." and "Hesitation will lead to failure."
"You're a major interstellar carrier, but you don't think about how to transform it into a small warship. You're obsessed with turning it into a battleship. Is there something wrong with your brain?!"
