Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

"..."

After a moment of silence, Qingyang turned his gaze back to the warship.

Undata-free starship detected

[Is it data-driven?]

"Yes!"

[Data coverage in progress...]

[Mental state score is satisfactory, coverage successful]

The next moment, Qingyang appeared in the control room.

[Mind Control Mode Activated]

A three-meter-tall virtual miniature of the warship immediately appeared in the center of the control room.

As Qingyang's thoughts surged, the virtual ships lit up one after another, and mental data swept across the entire ship in an instant.

[Commander, this is your shipboard AI.]

Qingyang nodded: "Activate the warship and perform a full self-check."

[clear]

Qingyang's mental data quickly located the warehouse area. Looking at the things in the virtual projection, Qingyang was somewhat bewildered.

A crystal ball, fifty mantis-shaped mechs, several boxes of potions, and nine cards.

What are all these?

【Star Martial Arts: Return to the Heavenly Wall】

[Quality: Red (Miscellaneous)]

[Basic Effect: Increases the shield recovery speed of all ships in the fleet by 50/s; unifies fleet shields, and damage will be distributed among all fleet shields]

[Additional Effect: Fleet shields gain the traits of Mental Defense and Virus Defense (effective until shield value reaches zero)]

[Note: Upgrades can be made up to five stars. Each star upgrade requires star crystals of the same quality. For example, it takes three star crystals to upgrade from level one to level three, and four star crystals to upgrade from level one to level four.]

nice one!

Qingyang smiled and instinctively activated the Star Martial Crystal.

The Star Martial Crystal immediately turned into data and dissipated, while the effect of the Returning Heaven Wall also began to take effect!

Then Qingyang looked at the mecha and the medicine.

[Dark Mantis Mech Type 3]

[Height: 12 meters] [Shield: 500]

[Overall Combat Strength: High-Tier 3]

What a powerful mech!

Looking at the detailed data, such a mech is enough to threaten an ordinary assault ship.

If there's a way to bypass the shields and send it into the enemy warship, I doubt any T8 fleet could stop it!

[Psychotropic Drugs Types 1-3]

[Applicable to: T8, T7, T6]

[Please use daily. Based on the current reserves, it is estimated that you can reach the T6 mental threshold in five years.]

"Hey, Dad's so thoughtful." Qingyang felt a warmth in his heart; it was obvious how valuable this thing was.

After confirming that the passageways inside the ship were spacious enough, an order was given to have a mech deliver the medicine.

Qingyang looked at the last nine cards.

[Fleet Top Position Card]

Each card can temporarily replace one starship, often used by new commanders, but they are very expensive to acquire.

Qingyang was stunned, then overjoyed.

Regardless of the commander talent, the most basic requirement is that the fleet must reach T8 level to be effective.

They thought that controlling the Moonlit Ship meant that using the Eternal Protocol was a long way off.

I didn't expect my dad to have thought of this beforehand.

As soon as the nine cards were about to be used up, the StarNet indicator box, which had been inactive for a long time, immediately popped up.

[Already meets T8 fleet standards]

[Confirmation complete, please name the fleet]

Qingyang stroked his chin: "Then let's call it, Eternal Truth!"

Caliber is the truth, and so is firepower. No problem.

【Eternal Truth (T8 Fleet)】

[Talent: Eternal Protocol (8th Protocol signed by default)]

[Commander: Qingyang]

Flagship: Moonlit Battleship (T8)

[Size: 10 (1)]

The Eternal Protocol took effect, and the warship's shield value suddenly reached 2, with a recovery speed as high as 150/s.

Most importantly, there was the Commander's Shield! Qingyang felt an unparalleled sense of security at this moment!

"At least when going on an adventure, you don't have to stay cooped up in the fleet; the greatest fun is being involved yourself."

Having confirmed that the battleship was normal, Qingyang stared intently at the slowly opening warehouse doors.

"set sail!"

hum~

A subtle humming sound spread, and the energy circuits on the massive warship's surface lit up layer by layer.

The Moonlit-class warship disappeared from the warehouse immediately.

One of the data-driven features is that it allows for direct maximum speed travel without acceleration or aftershocks!

Wuhu!

The luminous Moonlit Battleship appeared in the starry sky a dozen light-seconds away, its powerful energy level immediately attracting the attention of the starport.

"Such a strong energy level fluctuation!"

"T7 cruiser?"

"That's... the Crescent Moon-class battleship?! Which country's second-generation ship?"

"It seems to have originated from our Starport..."

"???"

Opening the star map, Qingyang marked a starport several light-years away with a stargate, which was the gathering place for recruited crew members.

Without pausing, the entire warship resumed its faster-than-light travel and quickly entered warp mode.

Without entering subspace for a leap, even a light-year distance would take a radiant moon battleship several days to traverse.

Why can a physical ship exceed the speed of light?

This is data-driven.

......

cu109 Star Gate.

A dozen or so young men and women sat quietly on chairs in front of a parking platform.

His unusual demeanor drew frequent glances from those around him, in addition to hundreds of other spirited scholars.

Furthermore, a large amount of supplies and thousands of machines are on standby.

The young man at the head of the group looked around and said, "It looks like an expeditionary and adventurous fleet."

"Hehe, isn't this even better? How interesting! And given the personalities of those pioneering commanders, there will definitely be plenty of battles."

The girl said with a grin.

The other team members were discussing it amongst themselves.

"It's rare for a newcomer to assemble a fleet of ten ships so quickly; most only have one warship."

"I wonder what type of starship it is."

"There's a 50% chance it's a destroyer, a 40% chance it's a cruiser, and a 10% chance it's a battleship. The fact that they could recruit so many crew members at the beginning shows they have some assets."

"really."

Chapter 5 Slander! Who says adventurers are all reckless!

The Moonlit Battleship.

Qingyang fiddled with the card, his gaze filled with worry.

I just glanced at the blueprints, why does the Moonlit Battleship need so many materials?

The blueprints for starships are not blueprints in the ordinary sense, but rather extremely valuable templates.

It can generate the data core of a starship; simply inputting materials into it will generate a warship within a few days.

Each blueprint has a maximum of 100 uses and is worth the equivalent of 25 finished ships.

Starship Company's main business is creating these blueprint templates.

It doesn't require any resources; it can be manufactured as long as you have the relevant technology and the corresponding support commanders.

"The cost of collecting materials for one ship is enough to buy six decent T8 assault ships and three T8 cruisers."

It's a difficult decision.
