Taiyi Flagship, Data Life!

The hatch opened, and the Jianren Type Starship was the first to take to the skies.

The members of the Eternal Fleet, who had been busy with their own tasks, were alerted. They quickly put down their work and came to watch.

They had heard that their Commander was building a new Starship and were very curious.

"Jianren Type Cruiser, is the other one too?"

Gu Xing and Gu Xue stood at the front of the crowd. Wan Lun and his sister Mia watched curiously from behind.

Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at the Jianren Type Cruiser.

In the Star Sea Human Alliance, most children dreamed of becoming Starship Commanders when they grew up.

Therefore, they were quite knowledgeable about the models of Starships.

The Jianren Type was a well-known model among high-end cruisers.

Coupled with the size of the fleet they had observed over the past few days, they deeply respected Qingyang, a Commander they had never met.

At the same time, they felt nervous about the upcoming assessment.

The Jianren Type Cruiser sailed into the port area where the fleet was located, and another warship appeared.

Its hull clearly surpassed that of the Shining Moon Type Battleship, emitting a soft glow. Fiery golden plating seemed to flow with endless flames, and the energy circuits etched onto the hull formed patterns resembling raging infernos.

The port for the orbital ring main cannon was a dazzling crystal that looked like a miniature sun!

Unlike the luxurious and vibrant Shining Moon Type, this warship exuded a beauty that was elegant, scorching, and filled with a violent killing intent.

Gu Xue stared blankly for a moment and then murmured, "What model of battleship is this? Brother, do you know?"

"I haven't seen it before. None of the top-tier models of T8 battleships have this appearance," Gu Xing said after thinking for a while.

"This warship feels significantly more powerful than the Shining Moon Type Battleship, even surpassing the military's custom top-tier T8 battleship!"

A Starship that didn't belong to any known or military model, yet possessed strength far exceeding all T8 battleships on the market?

Could it be a cutting-edge Starship that had just been developed and hadn't been released yet?

No, if that were the case, the previous tier classifications would have to be lowered.

All known top-tier models would drop to high-tier, and the former high-tier would drop to mid-tier.

And this warship would exclusively occupy the top-tier!

However, if the Starship research institutions of super-powers obtained even one such warship, it wouldn't be long before Starships with similar comprehensive combat power but different focuses would emerge.

After all, those institutions were the ones who had planned the standards for Starships from scratch.

Even so, this warship would be enough to be recorded in history, holding the title of the strongest in a certain class of Starships!

There were only about a hundred such instances in the Alliance's history. Even if they were later matched or surpassed, their names would still be passed down in textbooks.

They would be known for all eternity, and the name of the first owner would also be passed down to this day!

[Star Net Loading]

[New Starship Detected, Combat Power classified as T8 Class Battleship Exclusive First Tier]

[Type: Battleship (T8) Chichen Type]

[Star Net Title Acquired - Star Master Artisan (Awarded for raising the lower/upper limit of a certain class or type of Starship)]

[Confirming this ship as the first Starship of its model, bonus program activated]

[Note: Bonus program only applies to the first Starship of this model, unique]

[Granting this ship a 300% increase based on the base attributes of the same class of battleship, granting this ship Evolutionary Trait (Epic Trait)]

[Evolutionary Trait: Each evolution can increase a Starship's level by one and grant an additional special ship skill]

[Reconfiguring this ship's base type - Battleship - to Special Ship (Can be set as Flagship)]

What?!

Qingyang, who had been in a good mood, was completely stunned.

It wasn't surprising that the Star Net knew about the Chichen Type. Qingyang had known about it for a long time.

The Star Net was like a set of rules, not a simple artificial network, so there was no fear of someone finding out through it.

What Qingyang hadn't expected was that owning a brand-new Starship would trigger a Star Net reward?!

The conditions for triggering it seemed very difficult.

Exclusive First Tier wasn't just about exceeding 1% or 5% in overall combat power; it had to be at least 20% higher!

In the long history of Starship development, only about a hundred had received such an honor!

As for the bonus, not only was the category optimized to Special Ship, but the combat power of this Chichen Battleship was directly doubled!

The ship's appearance also changed, becoming more glorious and majestic, with the aura of flames becoming even more prominent.

The ship's length increased to 4 kilometers, and its average width and breadth reached 800 meters.

[Please name this ship (Exclusive)]

Qingyang said directly, "Taiyi!"

[Confirmation complete, set as Flagship?]

"Confirm!" Qingyang asked, confused. Did setting it as a Flagship, a symbolic designation, require a Star Net reminder?

The next moment, a Star Net notification popped up!

[Confirming Flagship -- Taiyi (T8 Special)]

[Flagship Bonus: Fleet Starships, Weapons + Chishi Trait, Shields + Chishi Trait

(Chishi -- Upon hitting shields, shields continuously take damage, total damage = 50% of cannon's attack energy)

(Chishi -- Negates damage below 1% of shield value. Example: 20,000 shield value, immune to attacks below 400)]

[Note: Currently only effective for T8 Fleets]

Qingyang fell silent for a long while, finally taking a deep breath and closing the panel.

"Calm down, calm down. I'm not the chosen one, I'm just an adventurer!"

"Mustn't get cocky!"

After muttering this a few times, Qingyang finally looked at Taiyi's data panel.

Aside from the enlarged hull, shields exceeding 40,000, a main cannon with 9,999 attack energy, and over three thousand secondary cannons, there were no special functions befitting a unique warship.

It was expected that the panel would change only after reaching T6 ship status to unlock special warship features.

Until then, Taiyi was just a slightly overpowered T8 Battleship. That's all.

"Incorporate into fleet!"

"Understood, Captain!" Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in the control room, startling Qingyang.

The ball of light trembled slightly. "Hello, Captain. I am this ship's AI."

Qingyang came to his senses. While controlling Taiyi to bring the crew members inside, he curiously asked, "AI? Why does it feel different from other AIs?"

"Data Life, Captain!"

Hearing this, Gu Xing and Gu Xue, who had just appeared in the control room and were still dazed, both turned their gaze to the ball of light.

Gu Xue exclaimed with surprise, "Sentient AI? Brother Qingyang, did you get a gold-tier Star Weapon of the sentient type?"

"Why do you ask?" Qingyang asked, puzzled.

"Starships are datafied vessels, inherently countering all intelligent data. Only Data Life can assist in controlling Starfleets and double the Starship datafication quota for the Commander!"

"Data Life requires a Star Weapon interface, and such Star Weapons are at least gold-grade," Gu Xing chimed in, explaining as he looked around.

He could only comment that the environment was even better.

Qingyang looked at the ball of light. "Star Weapon?"

The ball of light replied, "Captain, I am not a Star Weapon, but I possess all the abilities described by him. Furthermore, the larger the fleet scale, the stronger my computational power becomes."

Qingyang laughed heartily. "It doesn't matter, as long as it's helpful. Let's call you Changxi then."

"Understood, Captain."

Changxi responded, her voice gradually becoming clearer. Her form shifted from a ball of light to an elegant image of a graceful woman with waist-length hair.

Her flawless face looked at Qingyang. "This is an image granted to me by an entity called Star Net."

Changxi's appearance at this moment could be crudely described as: beautiful! Truly, damnably beautiful!

A natural beauty that even the technology of the great universe couldn't replicate.

Qingyang and Gu Xing were both stunned for a moment before their gazes returned to calm.

The former stared at Changxi's light-gold pupils and silver hair, pondering inwardly.

Various little sprite assistants from Star Net also had silver hair. Could it be that Star Net has a preference for white-haired characters?

The chapter on fleet formation is complete. From now on, it will basically involve participating in various events and battles, oh, and descriptions of ground combat (not many).

Additionally, the Dimensional World is an important side plot, partly involving fanfiction backgrounds (limited to fanfiction of cosmic or grand world backgrounds, encompassing movies and games).
