Radiant Moon Battleship

Radiant Moon Battleship.

Qingyang toyed with the card, his gaze troubled.

After taking one look at the blueprint, why did the Huiyue Battleship require so many materials?

A Starship Blueprint was not a blueprint in the ordinary sense, but an extraordinarily precious template.

It could generate a starcraft's data core. As long as materials were fed into it, a warship could be produced within a few days.

Each blueprint had a usage limit of only 100 times, and was worth the equivalent of twenty-five finished ships.

The main business of starship companies was precisely these blueprint templates.

No resources needed to be spent; as long as one had the relevant technology and supporting-type commanders, they could be manufactured.

"The cost of gathering the materials for one would buy six decent T8 Assault Ships and three T8 Cruisers."

It was a difficult choice.

In the distance, the brilliant glow of the stargate snapped Qingyang back to his senses.

Casting his worries aside, Qingyang stared in amazement at the starport, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, his heart filled with indescribable excitement.

In his previous life on Earth, he could only watch such things in movies. In this life, he had spent eighteen years on a single planet or in its vicinity.

Seeing such a colossal technological creation with his own eyes for the first time, Qingyang was naturally excited.

As the Huiyue Type Battleship gradually approached the stargate, its eye-catching appearance immediately drew considerable attention.

In the matrix security zone, the attendant monitoring the surroundings nudged the colleague beside him.

"Hey, look, a Huiyue Type Battleship!"

His colleague hurriedly raised his head, his tone excited. "It really is! This little place has such a high-end starcraft?!"

"Damn, look at those curves. Take a screenshot."

The girl beside the young man watched the Radiant Moon Battleship sail straight into the starport, and her eyes lit up as well.

Beautiful things always attracted girls, even starcraft built for slaughter!

"Wow, a Huiyue Type! Brother, not many people in our school's Commander Department have one of those, right?"

The young man also looked toward the platinum-white warship. "Yeah, only forty-six people have one of that grade."

Forty-six people among tens of thousands.

After all, even powerful nations would not make losing deals. One's overall abilities determined the resources one received.

In the Great Cosmic Era, which high-ranking official or wealthy noble did not have a whole brood of children? Naturally, they would choose the best among them to cultivate.

The girl said enviously, "The Huiyue Type can be considered the most beautiful warship among the cutting-edge models. Even its interior decorations are gorgeous."

Unfortunately, those who were not commanders could not control starcraft.

And Conventional Ships that merely imitated their appearance lacked the aura and charm of starcraft.

"Hm? It's coming toward our Docking Platform?" Even the young man was surprised now.

The girl's eyes immediately lit up. "Really!"

The surrounding team members and Research Team also began to stir.

"Holy crap, for real? Some random boss is this rich?"

"T8 isn't just about money. Their talent has to start at Purple Gold at minimum. A commander's Purple Gold Talent is much stronger than our individual Epic talents."

"Looks like we won't have to live in those tiny iron-block dorms on ordinary Assault Ships."

"Didn't you see earlier? Those teams even included a group of high-end chefs, hehe."

The enormous three-thousand-meter hull slanted to a stop before the Docking Platform with a nimbleness that did not suit its size.

Hundreds of tractor beams shot out at once, storing the machinery and supplies in the warehouse.

At the same time, several floating platforms flew out from the ship's hull.

The people below looked at the young man standing on the platforms, astonished.

He had actually come down to greet them in person?

Commanders would not leave their starcraft unless absolutely necessary. Other than arriving at a completely safe location—

—it meant they valued something greatly.

"Brother, it looks like this commander prodigy isn't like those people at school, full of arrogance."

The young man nodded. Getting along from now on would be much more comfortable.

Qingyang looked at the several hundred members of the ship crew and spread his arms beneath their gazes. "Welcome to the Eternal Truth Fleet!"

Huh?

That arrogant?

If he did not have achievements to match those words, his reputation would be ruined later on. The young man and girl were both stunned.

"Hello, Commander. I'm Guxing, Captain of Huofeng Squad. This is our Vice Captain, Guxue."

The young man stepped forward and introduced them with a smile.

Qingyang immediately looked toward the young man. So this was that Supernatural Ancient Martial Arts squad with remarkably powerful talent?

Star of Truth, scan.

[Guxing (Third-Order High)]

[Talent One: Yin Yang Guiyuan (Ancient Martial Arts Type)]

[Talent Two: Surging Fortune (Special Type)]

[Combat Power: Fourth-Order Intermediate]

[Preferences: Adventure, combat, card games]

[Evaluation: Excellent character, no malicious disposition]

Surging Fortune? So Fortune really was a thing? His actual combat power was Fourth-Order Intermediate, yet the gap between his ranks was this large?

For a prodigy like this, his combat power should at least span two major realms.

"Likes card games??" Qingyang's face was full of question marks as he turned to look at the girl beside him.

[Guxue (Third-Order High)]

[Talent: Sound of All Things (Supernatural Type)]

[Combat Power: Fourth-Order Beginner]

[Preferences: Adventure, music, spicy food]

[Evaluation: Excellent, no malicious disposition]

A music-based support ability?

As his gaze moved on, the other team members all appeared to possess extremely powerful talents, and their evaluations were all Good or above.

Even the weakest among them had Third-Order Intermediate combat power, enough for one person to fight a small surface army.

After sorting through the general situation in a few seconds, Qingyang finally extended his hand. "Just call me Qingyang. Brother, your aura is formidable."

Guxing's expression shifted slightly. He could sense his aura even through Yin Yang concealment?

Could this person's individual strength be above his own?

"Alright, enough small talk. Everyone, board the ship." Qingyang smiled.

"..."

Guxue curiously glanced at Qingyang, then followed behind Guxing and boarded the warship.

Once everything was ready, Qingyang did not linger.

The massive Radiant Moon Ship turned lightly and accelerated away from the starport.

Not long after entering, the Research Team of several hundred people happily began selecting their workspaces.

Not to mention the various laboratories and ecological zones.

Even the living quarters were suite-level, and there were all kinds of entertainment areas. Even the ordinary corridors were more than ten meters high and wide.

Dark, cold, cramped?

The environments on the Star Sea Alliance's Conventional Ships had nothing to do with those words, much less on starcraft.

Several pilots had also taken their positions. Under brainwave control, the warship was even slightly smoother than under an intelligent system's control.

As the only combat squad's Captain and Vice Captain aboard the ship, Guxing and Guxue were likewise standing by in the lounge beside the control room.

Guxing was somewhat puzzled at the moment. Earlier, he had seen several Dark Mantis Mechs patrolling the main passageway.

Those were active-service mechs still used by many great nations.

With such equipment, why had Commander Qingyang recruited an "ordinary" combat squad?

"Brother Qingyang, where are we going next? Doesn't a Pioneer Fleet charge straight into all kinds of ruin zones?"

Guxue looked at Qingyang on the sofa opposite her with a beaming smile.

Guxing's mouth twitched. Brother Qingyang? The cafeteria and living quarters alone had bought her over?

Qingyang smiled faintly. "Of course we're heading to the frontier. The war there just ended, so the danger level is moderate."

More importantly, he could mess around freely there.

"Commander, aren't you going to enter a beginner Dimensional World first?

"The first Dimensional World a new commander enters within two years of awakening is part of the Commander Academy's admission criteria."

Guxing had realized by now that Qingyang was not the child of some major power, but he did not mind. Instead, he reminded him.

The Commander Academy's classes were all held on the virtual Star Network, but the resources it provided were genuinely free, with monthly subsidies as well.

As long as one had the ability, even the resources of top academies made prodigies backed by major powers envious.

The Commander Academy was backed by the powerful nations of the alliance and the Four Super Nations.

It was a benefit the alliance offered to countless civilian commanders.

Qingyang pondered for a moment before saying, "Not yet. We can go after we meet the fleet standard."

Guxue puffed out her cheeks. "Brother Qingyang, you're so cautious. You don't seem like an adventure commander at all."

"Who said adventurers have to act recklessly?" Qingyang replied with a chuckle.

#Regional Bulletin—Star Sea Swarm signals discovered at Charka Star Lake. Nearby Starship Commanders or non-duty military warships, please proceed to eliminate them. Detailed coordinates attached.#

Qingyang and Guxing both looked toward the screen that had popped up.

It seemed to be nearby?

A swarm? Now that was a classic! Qingyang was overjoyed.

"Activate the Warp Engine. Use Subspace Jump to get there!"
