What a coincidence?

Qingyang sized up the Star Adjunct before him.

She was a petite, cute girl with short hair and round glasses, exuding a somewhat naive aura.

No matter how you looked at it, this aura didn't seem to fit a Star Adjunct.

These were high-end talents that powerful Starfleets vied for, and his impression was that they should be intelligent and calm.

This naive and somewhat clumsy aura was truly unexpected.

The female Star Adjunct from the academy snapped back to reality, realizing someone was in front of her. She quickly bowed, "I'm so sorry! I have something to attend to, so I must leave!"

With that, she hurried off, seemingly in a rush.

Were Star Adjuncts' courses that demanding?

Watching the girl's rapidly retreating back, Qingyang opened his mouth.

He really wanted to say that this was the Star Net, and she could use data transmission to leave.

"A Star Adjunct this naive would make a great mascot. Forget it, Guxing is the mascot!"

The Child of Fortune is the mascot; no one else matters!

Without lingering on the forest path, Qingyang attended a lecture in a large hall for a while before exiting the Star Net.

The Alliance Army had finished their investigation of the ruins covered in bronze mechanical parts.

Taiyi, Qingyang opened his eyes and immediately opened the email just sent by the Military.

[Star Commander, the ruins exploration is complete]

[It has been confirmed that the ruins contain high-dimensional divinity. The specific divine name and title cannot be disclosed at this time to protect the Commander]

[Reporting reward has been delivered]

Although he wasn't sure what dangers the ruins concealed, the situation didn't seem to be beyond the Alliance Army's control.

At the very least, it was confirmed that the Alliance Army had successfully uncovered some important information.

Qingyang's gaze fell upon the rewards, and he didn't ponder further.

[Reporting Reward: 150,000 Merit, 2 × T8 High-Grade Battleships, 1 × T7 High-Grade Star Carrier (Recommended to claim upon reaching T7 Mental Threshold)]

One hundred and fifty thousand Merit?!

A T7 Star Carrier, and a high-grade one at that?!

Aside from the time he saved the Stan people, this seemed to be his highest reward yet, right?

Because of the high-dimensional divinity?

Qingyang was somewhat puzzled, "Just reporting ruins where high-dimensional divinity once appeared, and receiving such a substantial reward?"

The danger level of high-dimensional divinity was somewhat beyond Qingyang's expectations.

In reality, it was because the ruins were within Alliance territory that the reward was so generous. If these ruins had appeared outside Alliance territory, the reporting reward would have been significantly reduced.

Unlike the private sector, which uses value to judge ruins.

The degree of danger was the sole criterion the Alliance Army used to judge ruins.

If there was no danger, no matter how valuable the ruins were, the Alliance Army wouldn't pay attention.

After all, ruins, by definition, meant the civilization that left them had perished. Civilizations that had perished were ultimately products eliminated by the great universe.

While the technical data within might be helpful to major powers, it held almost no value for Strong Nations and Superpowers.

Without dwelling on it, Qingyang used his Merit to redeem five Changqu Cruisers and a batch of Starship manufacturing resources to build two Chichen Battleships.

The Military's battleships could also be exchanged for equivalent manufacturing resources, but Qingyang hesitated for a moment and ultimately chose not to.

The Chichen Battleship could currently only manufacture T8-class Starships, and it was unclear what resources and requirements were needed for advancement.

The Military's Starships had a clear advancement path, so for the long term, Qingyang didn't intend to convert everything into resources to build Chichen.

For example, the Shining Moon Type Battleship was not just a top-tier T8 Battleship.

In the T7 and T6 tiers, the Shining Moon Type was also a top-tier Battleship!

As for the other Star Carrier, Qingyang planned to wait until his Mental Threshold reached T8 Perfection +5 before claiming it.

To datafy a powerful Starship across levels, reaching Mental Threshold Perfection +5 was the minimum requirement!

A Mental Threshold of Perfection +5 would bring about a qualitative leap.

The requirements for the Gold Fleet were even more terrifying, with Perfection +10 being just the basic restriction.

Even Qingyang couldn't convert all his Starships into Battleships right now; even Cruisers were difficult.

Confirmed redemption.

The five Long-range Type Cruisers and two unidentified Military-type Battleships arrived quickly.

Successfully datafying these Starships, Qingyang opened the panels of the two Military Battleships.

[T8 Starry Sky Battleship]

[Model: Rock] [Length: 3200m][Average Height/Width: 600m] [Shield: Jianshi Type 1 Shield -- 20k, Recovery Speed: 150/s] [Weapons: Main Cannons -- Standard Type x1, Area Type x2 Secondary Cannons -- Standard Type x4, Area Type x6 Ship Cannons -- Standard Type x20, Twin Rapid-fire Type x20 Defense Systems -- x1, Rock Reinforced Armor Module x1] [Model Buff: Shield, Weapon Energy Level Increased by 120% (Calculated)]

A defensive battleship?

Qingyang was surprised. While not as good as the Chichen, it was still very useful.

In terms of defense alone, this model of battleship was not weaker than a Shining Moon Type Battleship, and its armor defense was even stronger than the Chichen Type.

Although the armor was currently useless.

Once the Joint Shield shattered, the entire fleet would lose its defensive capabilities, and relying solely on armor defense would make it difficult to withstand overly intense attacks.

With the addition of seven starships, the Eternal Fleet's scale had significantly increased, and the strength of the Joint Shield had also improved considerably.

The more starships there were, the stronger the damage distribution effect of the Joint Shield!

The Eternal Fleet's current composition was simple: all attacks were handled by the Changqu Cruisers, Jianren Cruisers, and Chichen Battleships, while the remaining starships were mostly geared towards defense.

The powerful defensive effect of the Joint Shield could not be wasted.

The second morning.

The fully prepared Eternal Truth Fleet set off once more, heading straight into a Star Ring Channel!

The two Chichen Battleships currently under construction would be stationed at the Star Port in Qian Sen Star Lake. They could then be directly transmitted to the vicinity of the Eternal Fleet via the Star Net.

The transmission cost for two T8 Battleships was only two thousand Star Points, which Qingyang could afford.

Star Ring Channel.

Qingyang sat on the sofa in the lounge and opened the Star of Truth panel.

Seeing that no new bounty missions or commissions had been refreshed, Qingyang's gaze fell upon the Hall of Truth project.

He hesitated slightly.

It was a full eleven hundred Truth Points, but spending five hundred should have no impact, right?

Qingyang's strong curiosity made him really want to try out the effect of the Hall of Truth, coupled with a gambler's mentality, which made him restless.

"Star of Truth, consume five hundred Truth Points to activate the Hall of Truth once!" Qingyang finally couldn't resist his curiosity.

[Confirmed, transmitting knowledge randomly.]

As a cool and refreshing sensation spread through his brain, Star Net notifications and Star of Truth prompts appeared one after another.

[Mental Threshold increased, Strength +1]

[Congratulations on obtaining a standard -- Level 7 Medium Mechanical Civilization Battleship Cruiser Blueprint (120,000 Energy Level)]

????

What's going on?

His Mental Threshold increased just like that?

Wait, a standard blueprint for a battleship with a 120,000 energy level?

His eyes quickly scanned the blueprint, and upon seeing that the resources required for manufacturing were enough to build five T7 high-end starship carriers, Qingyang immediately lost interest.

Of course, Qingyang was still excited.

A blueprint for a Level 7 Civilization battleship was worth at least a million Star Points!

He believed many major powers would be interested in it.

Qingyang decisively put it on the Star Net auction list.

Even though auction items like blueprints typically took at least two months to find a final buyer.

But that wouldn't stop him from making a fortune!

Looking at the remaining six hundred Truth Points, Qingyang reluctantly resisted the temptation to try again and closed the Star of Truth panel.

The Truth Points would have important uses later; spending them all on gambling wasn't wise.

Speaking of which, had the number of entries into the Dimensional World refreshed?

Visiting relatives, I'm so dizzy, why did I drink? Let me sleep for a while before I get up to read comments.

The plot is a bit like a single-player game, but don't worry, the frontier is lively, and the author is also improving.
