I really hope that one day, I can have a thorough discussion with you, Qiu.

"I actually cheated." Jiang Lianqiu admitted frankly, "I just used a little bit of my time-stopping ability, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to chop so many times in that instant."

Under limited conditions, making rational use of one's own advantages is also a manifestation of ability.

You have only been practicing for a short time, but your speed of progress makes me ashamed of myself. In time, you will definitely possess the strength beyond the Void Hunter level.

Xing Jianya and Jiang Lianqiu's five senses are connected, so she naturally knew that time was paused at the moment Jiang Lianqiu drew his sword.

But Xing Jianya didn't think there was anything wrong with this. If she had the ability to stop time, she could play even more excessively than Jiang Lianqiu.

She asked herself, if she were to face Jiang Lianqiu now, once the opponent paused time, even if her fighting power could still suppress the opponent, she would have no choice but to wait for death.

This ability is too unsolvable.

Belfast also vaguely noticed that Jiang Lianqiu seemed to have paused time at that moment, but the four Royal Navy ship girls and the observers did not notice it.

In their eyes, Jiang Lianqiu simply suddenly attacked the enemy's head and disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the metal mimicry monster that made them extremely vigilant was destroyed in a dazzling slash.

Perhaps the momentum and destructive power were far inferior to the Dirac Void Blitz that Belfast launched with all its might, but this was the effect of a direct cut with a knife.

Hood asked herself, even if she fired all her guns at once and risked her life, she couldn't achieve this level.

After returning to the group, Jiang Lianqiu adjusted his breathing and said with a smile: "Nothing will happen here for the time being. Leave the rest to the fleet. We will go back first."

"Okay, master."

"Go back..." Guanghui hesitated. "Excuse me, Commander, what do you mean by going back?"

Jiang Lianqiu and Belfast exchanged a glance, and the latter immediately said softly, "Our home."

……Dividing line……

Because the surrounding interstellar space is filled with a large amount of interstellar dust, when viewed from Earth, Ophiuchus appears dark red and is not classified in the bright star catalog.

But in fact, Ophiuchus is a blue giant star.

Its mass is 20 times that of the Sun and its radius is 8 times that of the Sun.

It is midway through the initial stages of stellar evolution and has at least millions of years left to live.

When viewed up close from such a giant star, the glow it emits will be weakened due to the lack of an atmosphere to block it, and it will be enough to blind people's eyes.

But Guanghui and his group were now standing on an interstellar square, less than one-tenth of the radius of Mercury's orbit from Ophiuchus.

A huge star that is almost within reach.

And even closer, a starport that is larger than a city.

Everything before their eyes was completely beyond the ship girls' understanding.

Even the observing relatives were stunned and speechless the moment they returned to the Interstellar Square, like a female ghost who saw a sharp sword that was half as thick as her waist and could cast a large shadow on her face.

"I thought those fleets were at their limit, but I didn't expect there were still experts..."

He calmed himself down, turned around, and looked towards the direction of the Star Harbor Dock with a fiery gaze.

Countless engineering ships and scientific research ships were constantly coming and going, and their number was several times more than the escort fleets he had seen before.

The lights of the starport and the energy halo of the ships, against the backdrop of the black space and illuminated by the nearby blue giant star, look like real bright stars.

"Befa, how many fleets do you have left?"

Belfast glanced at his relatives but did not answer this sensitive question - in fact, there were not many warships left in the starport. Over the years, Belfast has been shifting most of its resources to industrial production and scientific research recovery.

The observer also realized that his questions seemed a bit too deep, but she didn't care.

She noticed that although this interstellar square seemed to be open air, she felt as if she was in the Earth's ecosystem.

Asking for flowers

"This is the Interstellar Plaza, which is the only entrance and exit for outsiders to enter the Star Port."

"Because you haven't registered your identities at the Starport, entering directly will trigger the anti-intrusion mechanism."

"In fact, even here, the relevant mechanism has been triggered after the appearance of the few of you - see over there, the safety of the sentry gun has been released."

Following Jiang Lianqiu's reminder, the five people noticed that there were sentry guns and various weapons placed everywhere around the square, both openly and secretly.

At this moment, those autonomous weapons that did not require human control were aimed at them.

"ah!"

Shengli subconsciously hid behind his sister Guanghui.

"We won't be blown up into the sky, right?"

She didn't dare to gamble whether she, as a ship girl, could withstand such alien artillery.

The barrel of the gun was thicker than her waist. She was afraid that she would be seriously damaged by one shot. She would be lucky if some residue was left on the spot.

"No, there will be no problem after officially registering your identity."

Belfast said soothingly in a soft voice.

After the identity registration is completed, the four ship girls and observers are allowed to use short-distance teleportation within the star port.

This type of teleportation is fixed-point and can only be used to travel between locations where corresponding equipment is installed. Freely setting coordinates and breaking through space at will are absolutely not allowed. Due to the particularity and environmental complexity of the starport, teleportation outside the designated channel is extremely dangerous, and one may get stuck in some fatal places if they are not careful.

Teleported from the open-air interstellar square to the star port, the ship girls who were still marveling at the magical technology that could instantly reach one place from one place to another found themselves on another platform the next second.

The confused group followed Jiang Lianqiu and Belfast down the platform and left this huge indoor space which was probably a dispatching center. They were dazzled by the sights along the way. Shengli would let out a small exclamation at everything she saw. A round autonomous machine passing by innocently would make her eyes sparkle and she would be eager to chase it.

Fortunately, Guanghui held his sister tightly, and soon everyone arrived at the central command hall of the star port.

Chapter 107: The Approaching Blue World

Given the special nature of the servitors, there was no need for a command hall.

But Belfast took Jiang Lianqiu's personal habits into consideration, and thought that perhaps the power under his master's command in the future would not be limited to mechanical servants. Therefore, during the recovery of productivity in recent years, a series of adaptive transformations were also made to the entire star port from the inside out.

The command hall is extremely large, with three floors. The top two floors are semicircular, while the bottom floor is simply a space larger than a football field.

The hall was filled with dispatch desks and command hubs, and countless servitors were busy at their respective posts. They did not move, and did not even communicate with each other. They just stood there like sculptures, allowing parts of their body structures to show mechanized characteristics and blend into the control consoles.

The hall seemed silent, but in fact, in the command line, a huge amount of complex information was being uploaded and downloaded every moment. The star port management center accurately calculated every detail and issued instructions according to Jiang Lianqiu's will.

These instructions even have task timing and execution processes accurate to the millisecond level.

And this only involves the part of daily production and recovery. The accuracy of the command link in wartime will be raised to the insane microsecond or even nanosecond level.

The fact that such a command center was almost silent was beyond the comprehension of the ship girls.

The large variety of three-dimensional holographic projections in the air in the center of the hall really opened their eyes.

There is Ophiuchus, a star map of the entire Ophiuchus and even the zodiac constellation, and even the largest projection shows the entire Milky Way.

Many of the galaxies were specially marked, which they could not understand, but Jiang Lianqiu knew that those were the coordinates recorded casually after the discovery of life.

Today, no advanced civilization has been discovered in the entire Milky Way galaxy, or even in this universe.

If you want to know the reason, it is naturally because Ji Pu and Su Zheng destroyed each other's places too harshly.

The answer to the famous Fermi Paradox concerning the existence of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations is actually very simple - the universe was destroyed back then, and today's human civilization is, in a sense, the first batch of advanced intelligent life in the new generation.

Jiang Lianqiu even came across a terrifying record while reviewing past war history—several satellite galaxies under the Milky Way, such as the Large and Small Magellanic galaxies, were actually blown away by both sides during the war...

Some of the cosmic wonders that have puzzled mankind, namely the Big Void (referring to the extremely sparse number of galaxies in a large area of ​​space), seem to have come from this.

When she arrived at the highest command platform, Sirius couldn't help but look down. The height difference made her a little dizzy.

Whether it was an illusion or not, the four Royal Navy ship girls and the observers felt that after their appearance—or more accurately, Jiang Lianqiu—the "soldiers" at their respective posts, though seemingly motionless, seemed to be working harder? And more seriously?

Suddenly, countless digital streams of light rose from the ground beside Jiang Lianqiu and quickly formed a translucent figure.

Commander, information monitoring confirms that after the target subspace arrives at this universe system, the unknown enemy intrusion alert value contained in its characterization signal returns to zero.

It can be confirmed that X in the target world system does not possess cross-world system tracking technology. At present, it only needs to clear out the hostile targets in the subspace to ensure its absolute safety.

While Christina was reporting, a new three-dimensional projection unfolded in front of the highest command podium.

The picture displayed was the Earth where the battle between the ship girls had just begun.

In addition, von Neumeow suggested that we focus on this subspace.

"why?"

Jiang Lianqiu asked.

Christina's projection glanced at the equally curious shipgirls and sirens behind him, and immediately replied:

Von Neumau judged that the target subspace was now being peeled off from the original universe system and implanted into the current universe system in a manner similar to grafting.

When she said this, Christina looked at Jiang Lianqiu as if he were some rare treasure.

This subspace will gradually possess the representation of this universe system, but the representation of the original system will not disappear. It will have signals from two universe systems at the same time, which will bring about a resonance effect in the multiverse.

In short, this will allow our two universes to gradually approach each other at a higher dimensional level. When the distance reaches a certain level, we may be able to use this subspace as a springboard to enter another universe system.

Research in this area can also greatly advance our own cross-world technology...

If this is the case, then the world that Jiang Lianqiu has pulled in is very important.

It means that the mechanical servants no longer need Jiang Lianqiu to travel back and forth personally, but can rely on their own technical strength to break through the world barriers.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the four royal ship girls and the observer behind Jiang Lianqiu lit up.

They had talked a lot on the way here, and now they all knew that they couldn't go back for the time being.

Although he didn't understand the principle behind it - in fact, Jiang Lianqiu himself was also confused - but he at least figured out why he couldn't contact the Siren host and why the singularity that he had opened with great difficulty collapsed for no reason.

All this was because the experimental site they were in at the time had completely separated from their original world and was pulled into another world.

This should have been a very shocking fact, but after the observation parent frankly told them the purpose of the Siren, the past of the world line, and the existence of the unknown enemy X, the four royal ship girls were still confused and had no idea at all.

Hearing that they could go home, even if it was just a possibility in the future, calmed them down a little.

Hood glanced at the hall around him, then looked at Jiang Lianqiu who was still listening to the report. He was silent for a long time and made a decision.

She secretly hooked Guanghui's little finger with her finger, and Guanghui looked over and exchanged a look with Hood, and they both nodded.

It was not until Christina's projection disappeared that Jiang Lianqiu turned around and looked at the few people.

"Befa, you can take a few ladies to check it out later. Don't we have maintenance technology for shipgirls' ship suits based on what you developed?"

"You have been through a great battle and may need a little help."

"You should also do a maintenance check. The Dirac Void Flash is too much for you."

"Okay, Commander." Belfast nodded and made an inviting gesture to the four royal ship girls and the observers.

"Everyone, follow me."

"You are absolutely safe here."

On the way out, Belfast looked back and gave Jiang Lianqiu a barely perceptible nod.

Chapter 108: Since she is a ship girl, how can she not take a bath?

In almost all games, the production cost of low-level combat units is lower than that of high-level units.

This is naturally the case in most cases in reality.

Ordinary soldiers can be produced in batches, and Jiang Lianqiu has no shortage of single high-combat units at the general level.

However, Jiang Lianqiu was in dire need of the most advanced servitor units, such as von Neumeow, who were crucial talents that could serve as the center of consciousness nodes and oversee all scientific research tasks.

When it comes to mechanical servants of the level of von Neumeow, it is no longer possible to just pile up resources. Their appearance even requires something that seems a bit illusory, such as luck.

According to past historical records, Jiang Lianqiu was very lucky to be able to create a mechanical servant that could serve as the center of the consciousness node in a star port from nothing within a dozen years.

If they hadn't gotten the SSR-level Von Neumeow in a single draw, Belfast wouldn't even be able to guarantee that their technical system could be restored to this state by now.

But it is not enough. As the 12 battles that he will have to go through in the future are becoming more and more intense, he urgently needs a war node center.

In short, he needs a Secretary of Defense, or a Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, a military commander-in-chief.

Unfortunately, although there were many generals who could charge into battle under his command, there was never a marshal-level mechanical servant who could command them.

If a general-level mecha servant has accumulated enough war experience, it is indeed possible for it to transform and evolve into a mecha servant at the core level of a war node.
