"What's with those looks?"
Annie glared at the two of them in annoyance, then rolled her eyes at them before turning to ask the fellow called Chao Jun:
"Go on!"

Annie didn't rush to share her specific idea. She simply asked that first.
"Hmm..."
Chao Jun hadn't expected such a little girl to suddenly ask about that, so he rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before answering hesitantly:
"Anyway, it's huge!"
"It's over two thousand meters long, hundreds of meters high, and about a thousand meters wide. If you squeeze people in, it could hold at least ten or twenty thousand, right?"

He'd actually seen the warship's specifications long ago. It was even bigger than he'd said, combining the functions of deploying mechs, fighting in space, transporting personnel, and making extreme long-distance interstellar voyages.

Annie blinked, a little surprised.
"How many people do you have on that island of yours?"
After doing some quick calculations,
