Watching the plane soar into the sky, Xia Yu clapped his hands and called the maid to work. From now on, the Invincible Class will be his palace on the sea. If it weren't for his business in the country, there would be no problem living there until the overall construction of Kana Island is completed.
The maids swiftly cleaned up the master suite, while he slipped onto the bridge and inserted a USB flash drive with the Umbrella logo printed on it into the ship's system interface.
"Autopilot program is being activated... The program has been activated... All systems are being tested... All systems are operating well..."
The umbrella-style UI on the screen replaced the original program and took over all the systems on the ship.
Although Xia Yu can drive a yacht, he is alone after all. To operate such a large yacht converted from an aircraft carrier, he must have the assistance of two teams: the driving team and the engine room team.
Fortunately, technology changes life. With the assistance of the system, the Invincible class underwent a second modification and was loaded with the Umbrella's ship automatic driving program, freeing it from the limitations of manpower.
This is also reflected in Resident Evil. The trap ship named Arcadia uses this program. Now it has been transplanted to the Invincible class. I wonder how effective it is.
How about a spontaneous trip?
Good idea, but we have to wait until all the supplies are loaded onto the ship.
When he got off the plane, he arranged to unload all the things in the cargo hold. Feng Manxue came back after sending everyone off and was directing the workers to deliver the supplies onto the ship.
Alas, the Invincible-class is good, but it still lacks a supply ship.
Xia Yu thought about his previous failure in purchasing the Elbe-class 404-type support ship from the United States. If he had succeeded then, he would have had an aircraft carrier from Britain and a supply ship from the United States, and the carrier-based aircraft would have been from the former Soviet Union. It has to be said that this hodgepodge tasted a bit strong.
IWC is IWC. It is already very good for a private individual to achieve this level, and Xia Yu does not intend to ask for too much.
"Mr. Xia, all the supplies have been transported to the ship, but I'm not sure about the fresh water and fuel."
After Feng Manxue checked the material documents, she knew what they had brought, but she was unaware of what was already on the ship.
"I just checked the fuel. They made their final resupply before arriving at Kana Island. The tank is now 90% full. There's no need to worry about refueling for now."
The cost of refueling an aircraft carrier ranges from hundreds of millions to tens of millions, depending on its size. Most people really cannot afford to maintain such an oil-guzzling behemoth.
"As for fresh water, there's no need to worry. The ship has a newly upgraded reverse osmosis seawater treatment system that can produce 540 tons of fresh water every day, which is more than enough for our use."
Xia Yu said so, but it was still not enough. It would take more than 2,000 tons of fresh water to fill his swimming pool, which would require four or five days of continuous production. In addition, he had so many bathrooms, each of which was a big water consumer.
Alas, is it so difficult to take a bath or swim in the sea?
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Xia Yu has forgotten the days of water shortage in the desert. However, the water he purifies is seawater, so it is not a waste of water resources!
"I understand, but Mr. Xia, it seems that we haven't recruited any crew members who can pilot the Invincible-class. Do you need me to find suitable talents now?"
Feng Manxue felt relieved but also raised a new question. No one here knew how to drive a boat. Even if they called the captain of the cargo ship at the port, he might not be able to drive a warship!
"Don't worry about that. The Invincible has been modified for yacht driving and has an assisted driving mode installed. I can drive it by myself. Unless there is a malfunction and I need repairs, I don't need to find anyone else."
Seeing Xia Yu taking on so much responsibility, Feng Manxue didn't say anything. She knew that Xia Yu was very talented in driving. Not only could he fly a helicopter, he also had a yacht driver's license. If he said it wasn't a big problem, then it must be true.
"Since the supplies are already in place, how about we just set sail?"
Xia Yu made the decision in a negotiating tone. After all, he was the boss and he had the final say. The Invincible-class ship set sail again less than half a day after entering the port, heading straight for the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
The Invincible class uses four Olympus TM3B gas turbines with a total power of 72.5 megawatts, which can provide horsepower for the yacht to speed through the ocean at a maximum speed of 28 knots.
This speed is not as fast as his Bugatti Niniette 66, but it is much faster than the Polestar. Besides, it is not impossible to go faster.
The Invincible class also has a helicopter hangar, which was originally equipped with anti-submarine helicopters. Now it has been cleared and you can choose your favorite model.
If the helicopter is still too slow, then you can only take the carrier-based aircraft. Xia Yu did not forget his rappelling pioneer suit.
As the sky gradually darkened, the Invincible-class ship, which had just been traveling at high speed, slowed down instantly until it came to a complete stop. The anchor chain at the bow was released at high speed, and the anchor quickly touched the bottom and anchored.
It was dark when they had sailed about a hundred nautical miles. Although they could continue sailing at night, everyone was a little tired today, so they decided to rest for a night and continue sailing tomorrow.
Yuan Qiansui was already preparing dinner in the ship's restaurant, and Xia Yu was going to take a shower first.
In anime, isn’t it always about eating first or taking a shower first? He usually takes a shower first, but today he wants to change the order.
Because instructions had been given before, Feng Manxue took the lead in researching and figured out how to boil water on the ship and how to use each bathroom.
Now the Turkish bathhouse is steaming hot, waiting for someone to come.
On the bridge, Xia Yu handed over the control of the Invincible Class to the automatic driving program, and then turned on the autonomous defense mode.
The sea is different from the land, and safety must always be put first. This is why he strongly requested the installation of a defense system when he was modifying the Polaris.
