It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

"But you look much slimmer now than before!"

"Yeah." The boss spread his hands and said to Tony, "After all, this is a semi-mechanical body, so of course it doesn't need to rely on increasing muscle volume to increase strength. Also, I didn't grow taller but only grew muscles, which should be an adverse reaction to the transformation. But the experimenters think that my excessive muscle development is an adaptive specialization caused by the transformation."

"Wow! I..." Tony suddenly didn't know what to say. He could only organize his words and then said, "I think the guy who performed transformation surgery on a bunch of child soldiers should be taken out and shot."

“But all of us volunteered to be enhanced.”

"Fxxk!" Crossbones, who was wearing a takeaway uniform, cursed, "Damn Covenant bastards!"

"Yes, damn Covenant bastards!"

"But now..." Tony pointed at the half-mechanical, half-biological Boss Cheng and asked, "With your current state, you probably can't be the chef, right?"

"That's right. For a cyborg like me, although the smell receptors are extremely sensitive, the taste receptors are very dull."

At this time, Da De Shao An, who came out from the kitchen, also said: "For a chef, a dull sense of taste is the most fatal flaw. Even if you are a god of cooking, even if your cooking skills and techniques are still at the peak, but losing your sense of taste is equivalent to losing the soul of cooking."

"It's all very fancy, but to sum it up, it's just two words... it's unpalatable."

The boss shrugged and continued to explain: "That is to say, until they have studied my body thoroughly, I am not qualified to be the chef."

"Yes, I can only help in the kitchen by cutting vegetables, distributing food, and washing dishes."

"I can also fry things!" Boss Cheng patted his chest and said, "Fried meatballs, fried meat, fried French fries, etc., these jobs that don't require seasoning and only require paying attention to the heat, I can do them all!"

"Haha!" Tony laughed and said, "I still underestimated your love for cooking."

However, no matter how passionate he was, the boss did not immediately start the important job of helping in the kitchen, because compared to helping in the kitchen, he had more important work to do.

For example, the compensation work for space battleships.

Seven space battleships were blown up by an alien's fist. The boss knew that it was not because his battleships were too weak, but because the opponent's individual hard power was too strong.

But the main responsibility for the destruction of the seven warships still lies with the main controller. If they could do a good job of investigation in advance and figure out the individual danger level of World No. 7, they would not have sent Raizo and other guardians to rush to their deaths.

Many former TOP10 members were blown up by the enemy in one move, and it was a physical blow. This has caused a great psychological blow to the guardians participating in this mission.

Everyone knows that there are mountains beyond mountains, but when you climb Mount Everest and stand on top of the mountains...

But you find that there is a mountain towering into the stratosphere blocking your way. And before you can react, this mountain collapses and buries both you and Mount Everest.

You say:

What is a blow!

What the hell is a strike!

What the fuck is a fucking blow!

So regardless of whether we put the facts aside or focus on the facts and only talk about the facts, the controller is not only responsible for this failed operation, but also has a huge responsibility!

"Compensation, what else can we do?" The head of the technical department told Boss Cheng: "The General Affairs Department has sent a letter asking our technical department to try our best to meet your demands and actively and proactively seek a compensation solution. In addition, the event organizing department has also sent a letter, hoping that the rewards and other things will be handled internally by the main control department."

“They still remember the reward!”

In fact, not only the people in the tournament organizing department remembered it, but also the people in the technical department. After all, more than 1400 warships were recovered in one go. Even if the tournament organizing department needed to give bonuses to the top 500, the credit for bringing new ship types, new technologies, and two large-scale competition maps to the two departments was something that the two departments dared not not give.

After all, in their eyes, the guardians of the cornerstone worlds are all gold mines. Especially for someone like the boss, who wanders around in several worlds when he has nothing to do, he is simply a mining company that can prospect and mine!

"So?" the boss asked the head of the technical department with ease, "Are you going to take me to your department's warehouse for overstocked ships again?"

"Eh? You guessed this?"

"Nonsense, you always do this!"

"But this time is different. I will take you to the shipyard of our technical department!"

"What?" Boss Cheng asked teasingly with a smile, "Are you clearing out all the unwanted inventory?"

"How is that possible! But if I really want to use the inventory of the warehouse I took you to before as compensation, I am willing to give it to you. Are you willing to take it? The defeat two days ago is enough to prove that a warship that is too small does have poor survivability when facing a strong enemy."

"Want to compensate me with a bigger ship?" the boss asked tentatively.

"Size is not the main thing. The main thing is to be able to fight and be beaten. After being beaten, you must be able to run. You must have the ability to save yourself and survive." The head of the technical department patted Boss Cheng on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"With a big and popular person like you, which department would dare to let you get hurt? Besides, the technical department has also said that it is not impossible to revive you, but in order to give you a body that won't explode at any time, the resources required are no cheaper than a large battleship. Unless you can accept your current body that is half biological and half machine, and doesn't even have a penis."

Boss Cheng: (?_?)

"So how big a warship do you plan to compensate me for? If it's too big, the slipway in my base won't be able to accommodate it."

"At worst, we can just continue to expand." Then the supervisor emphasized, "This time, the warship must not have a traditional ship structure. I think neither you nor I want to see a warship being smashed in half by a punch!"

The boss nodded, and after recalling the unbearable experience of being beaten two days ago, he affirmed: "Indeed, if we can get a hole punched in it next time, we should try not to break the battleship. So I think the Moon-class cruiser is very suitable."

Technical Director: (；?д?)

"Can you gather the minimum 72000 crew members required for the Moon-class?" The supervisor added, "Not all of them need to be real people. Except for management positions and technical maintenance positions, all other systems can be monitored and operated by cyborgs or synthetics."

Boss: (-ω-；)

Head of Technical Department: "How about we talk about the next topic?"

The boss nodded, and then he and his supervisor were teleported to an incredibly large space factory. At this time, the boss noticed two Glorious Queen-class super battleships of the same specifications being built in the space dock.

That's right, build two at a time.

Seeing Boss Cheng's curiosity, the supervisor told him that 1/4 of the materials used to build these two super battleships came from Boss Cheng. However, this type of ship is too huge, so large that the competitive world cannot support its scale of construction.

"So until now, our fleet has only been equipped with 72 Glorious Queen-class battleships."

"You already have 72 ships, and the 73rd and 74th are under construction. Can you please stop talking nonsense?"

"Ah, you don't understand at all. A mere 72 flagships of the third-class fleet are not enough to guarantee the stability and security of the competitive world."

"No, wait a minute!" Boss Cheng pointed at the giant battleship under construction and asked, "It's so big, but it's still just the flagship of the third-class fleet! What does the first-class fleet use as its flagship?"

"The first-class fleet has no flagship, only a base. Only the second-class fleet has a fleet flagship."

"What is it?"

"They are three artificial celestial bodies with a diameter of about 200 kilometers."

Then, Boss Cheng was taken to a dock that looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. The supervisor pointed to all the inventory in the dock and told Boss Cheng: "You can choose any ship here, but I have to give you a suggestion in advance. It's best to choose a warship that can fly in the atmosphere. In addition, most of them were trial-produced and then rejected by the navy, or were modified according to the navy's requirements and continued to be rejected, so none of these ships have been matched with AI."

"Don't you have anything like the wave-wave gun battleship in stock?"

The supervisor spread his hands and said, "The remaining stock was packed up and taken away by you last time. Don't forget that the last few ships you took away were not unmanned ships."

"Then can you help me convert the manned ship into an unmanned ship?" the boss asked again.

The supervisor smiled bitterly and said: "You might as well let us help you build a new unmanned ship!"

"It's basically impossible, right?"

"It's not impossible. The question is whether you are willing to wait." The supervisor asked the boss: "For example, after selecting the ship model, wait for the technical department to help you design the AI ​​circuit of the ship, and then train the AI ​​while helping you build a new ship. Are you willing to wait for two to three years or even four to five years? Only then can we guarantee the stability of the AI ​​ship."

"But it's clearly Chunlan-level..."

"Because when we got those warships, the AI ​​systems on them were not only highly complete, but also well-trained."

"Oh, I see. But..."

After browsing the numerous spaceships in the dock, Boss Cheng suddenly had a question. He pointed at a few of them and asked his supervisor, "Why are all the warships here so flat and triangular in structure?"

0368 My President Father

"Why are they all triangular?" The technical department supervisor thought for a moment and replied, "Perhaps their designers pursued flight stability in the atmospheric environment, so they designed them into a lifting body structure. Perhaps it was to reduce the impact area during a frontal assault. Or perhaps it was to pursue firepower during a frontal assault.

Anyway, you don't have to worry about the structural strength of this kind of dagger- or shuttle-shaped space battleship. The only problem is that the power source is a bit backward. Compared with the wave drive that we like to use and abuse the most, the hypermatter annihilation reactors on these ships seem... like the generation gap between electromagnetic drive and steam drive. "

But the boss emphasized: "But the power of boiling water is endless!"

The technical department supervisor was silent for a long time, until he swallowed back the words "boil water" that he was about to say to the boss, and then he calmly introduced to the boss again:

"For example, this Hunter-class battleship is clearly positioned as an assault ship and destroyer, but the take-off and landing platform for carrier-based aircraft is designed on the top of the battleship. An interstellar assault ship does not place heavy firepower on the centerline of the ship, but uses it to launch carrier-based aircraft.

An assault ship that is 1137 meters long, 548 meters wide, and 268 meters high, has its fighter plane landing platform placed on the centerline of the ship! The Andromeda-class wave gunboats can launch carrier-based aircraft from the side and bottom of the ship, but such a large space battleship still uses the layout of an old-fashioned aircraft carrier. As a result, the main guns of the battleship can only be placed on both sides of the battleship.

Also, have you seen the ridiculously tall twin bridges? It's already the space age, but they have to build a 122-meter-high bridge on the battleship. Not only that, but they also built two parallel bridges! One is responsible for commanding the fleet, and the other is responsible for commanding carrier-based aircraft. I really don't know what other functions such a tall bridge has besides attracting hatred. You have to suspect that the people responsible for designing and reviewing this ship are all undercover agents sent by the enemy. "

"So?" the boss asked, "Why did you recommend this boat to me while at the same time disparaging it as useless? What ulterior motives did your technical department want to achieve through me?"

"This..." Seeing that his plan was about to be exposed by the boss, the head of the technical department simply took out a blueprint and placed it in front of Boss Cheng.

"This is a brand new battleship that our technical department redesigned and redrawn based on the original blueprint of the ship. The 122-meter-high parallel twin bridges have been reduced to a 65-meter-high single double-layer structure. The upper bridge is used to observe the battlefield and control the battleship, and the lower bridge is used to command carrier-based aircraft operations. The battleship can still carry 192 X-wing fighters or 135 Vf-171 transformable fighters, and the battleship's firepower has also been comprehensively strengthened.

The battleship's original power system, which was low in output and took up a lot of space, was removed and replaced with a new dual-core power unit - a super-large wave engine and a warp engine. The wave engine provides energy for the bow wave gun and the battleship's jump. The warp engine is responsible for conventional super-light cruise and sub-light super maneuverability.

The auxiliary power is 12 small wave engines, which can ensure the continuous output of the 5 twin wave turrets (4 in front and 1 in the rear) on the upper deck, and ensure that the wave shield and deflection protection system continue to protect the hull. In addition, this warship has 8 triple 403mm positron linear guns as secondary guns, arranged in a 4+4 longitudinal structure on the left and right sides of the bottom of the ship. There are 16 heavy twin booster laser turrets, 112 small beam close-in defense guns, and 6 interstellar torpedo launchers. "

"No, wait!" Boss Cheng pointed at the 46.6-meter-diameter wave-motion cannon muzzle on the blueprint and asked, "Are you sure this is a wave-motion cannon and not a macro cannon?"

"Hey! How can a 46-meter caliber macro cannon be as powerful as a wave motion cannon! Even a 300-meter caliber macro cannon is far less powerful than the wave motion cannon we designed!"

"But this ship still remains on the drawing board."

The technical director laughed helplessly and complained, "You know that the navy always complains about small ships. They look down on the 1700-meter Firestorm class."

The boss shrugged and said, "If I can afford a 26-kilometer-long flagship, I won't look down on a 1100-meter-long dinghy."

"The key is that they dislike not only the size of the ship, but also the caliber. They look down on any warship that cannot be equipped with a super ram, a powerful light spear, and a super-large caliber macro cannon at the same time. In the last few dozen batches of newly built battleships, the macro cannons that fire solid ammunition have all been eliminated.

Now even the caliber of the wave motion cannon has been increased to 155 meters. The two ships of the Glorious Queen class that you just saw, when they were first designed, all the previous 305-caliber plasma macro cannon arrays were replaced with 155-meter caliber wave motion macro cannons! "

(Anyone with a brain would know that the macro cannon on the Moon class cannot have a caliber of 800 meters. The Moon class is 5 kilometers long, not 5 kilometers thick, and it is not certain whether the Moon class is 800 meters in height.)

"So the Navy wants your guns and doubles them. But they just don't like your ships?"

"Yes." The supervisor nodded.

"So you plan to use my name... or rather, you hope that I will cooperate with you in using my name to build a new type of warship that was rejected by the Navy. After it is built, it will be convenient for you to sell the finished product to the Navy?"

The supervisor nodded and admitted, "That's about right. But to be exact, we are not selling it to the navy, but to the two third-class fleets under the main control. Only if they like it, will we have the opportunity to sell the warship to the second-class fleet or the navy headquarters."

"Eh? Doesn't the Master Controller command all the armies?"

"Please!" The supervisor spread his hands and said, "How can we let a large-scale gambling group across the world take charge of all the armies? Although the military expenditure is indeed paid by the main controller, the military system is relatively independent. It is already very good for the main controller to have two third-class fleets that are directly under its jurisdiction and can be used at will."

Boss Cheng was stunned and exclaimed: "I really didn't know that!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Anyway, Deputy Minister, are you willing to cooperate with our work?"

"What can I get?"

"The most suitable warship for you!" The supervisor held up three fingers and promised solemnly: "No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will give you a newly built Jaeger-class prototype ship and two matching Gladiator-class prototype ships in a year and a half. In the meantime..."

"In the meantime, can you give me an AI?"

"Impossible! How can you be a model ship if you have AI added to it? Let me tell you the truth. If the warships that were sunk were not driven by AI but by humans, even if they were robots or robots controlled by AI, you would not be sunk so easily by an alien!"

Boss:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Your ship can jump, but the aliens that sank your ship cannot! If the AI ​​in your ship reacts quickly enough and jumps into another dimension or subspace when your satellite ship is sunk, then no matter how powerful the aliens are, they will not be able to catch you!"

Boss: "Okay, that makes sense. So what should I do?"

"Have your minister help you write an application report to the main control, saying that the inventory of the technical department is too old and not safe enough to guarantee the safety of personnel during future missions. Therefore, it is recommended that the technical department modify and upgrade the original warships according to the requirements of the Guardian Coordination Department."

"Why is it renovation? No... I understand!" Boss Cheng suddenly realized, "Renovation and upgrading are more expensive than building a new one, so if you want to open a window in the house, it is best to remove the entire roof first!"

The supervisor nodded and replied with a smile, "That's right. In addition, after the General Affairs Department approves the new construction plan, come to me and bring this broken original Jaeger-class star destroyer back to you. Although the internal systems of this Jaeger-class have been unified by us to the ones carried by the Chunlan-class. But the models of the warships are different, and the operation of the systems is basically different. After you take the Jaeger-class back, train the crew according to the scale of 7000 people. The Jaeger modification will require a minimum of 4000 crew members, and the other two Gladiator modifications will require a minimum of 1500 crew members each."

Soon after, the request of the technical director of Boss Cheng was conveyed to Lei Zang, who agreed to help write the application report without any hesitation. Only he and his boss knew the trembling feeling from the depths of their souls when they faced the one-eyed hedgehog head.

After all, even the great cultivator who came to rescue them admitted how powerful the one-eyed hedgehog-head was.

A powerful person at the fusion realm said that the one-eyed hedgehog head was very powerful...
