An internal oversight mechanism was, in any era, a reflection of an organization's ability to purify itself.
It was indispensable.
Besides that.
As the Sky Peng Horizontal advanced to the Abyss Ship tier, the number of staff aboard had grown by another order of magnitude.
Even though every crew member's background and personality profile had been carefully reviewed and screened before they came aboard, making the odds of trouble very low,
you could never truly know what was in someone's heart. Wang Dong couldn't guarantee that no spies had slipped in, or that no one might choose to leak information for one reason or another.
Although the Sky Peng Horizontal—and Kindling Warships in general—already had a fairly comprehensive set of internal access controls and confidentiality regulations,
ordinary crew members could only handle the work assigned to their respective posts, and had no authority to access information about shipborne modules or the like.
The nature of interstellar travel also meant that the crew couldn't know the whereabouts of the starship they were aboard.
Even if they leaked information, these ordinary crew members basically had nothing confidential to reveal.
But intelligence analysis technology in the interstellar age was just as powerful.
Intelligence masters like Mada often had the ability to find clues in the tiniest scraps of evidence.
Wang Dong had long realized that as the Sky Peng Horizontal climbed to higher tiers, its crew grew in number, and its potential influence grew ever greater.
It was no longer realistic to completely conceal the Sky Peng Horizontal's existence as he had in the past.
Sooner or later, the Sky Peng Horizontal's existence would be exposed to the public.
It would also be hard to keep the news that the Black Stone Kingdom possessed a Death Starship under wraps for much longer.
