Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 238 Subsequent Development Plan

The next morning, Lin Shu woke up under the influence of her biological clock. Still a little groggy, she saw Lorraine beside her as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Oh, no wonder it's so warm."

She then pulled her arm out from under Lorraine, sat up straight, and prepared to get out of bed to wash up.

"hiss"

The pain from the pulling on her tail brought her fully awake, and only then did she realize what kind of environment she was in.

Looking at Lorraine beside her, dressed neatly, she quickly recalled everything that had happened the night before.

Lorraine was awakened by the sparse sounds around her.

When he quietly opened his eyes, he saw Lin Shu standing beside him, blushing, trying to untie his tail from his body.

Then, using her waist to push herself up, Lorraine sat up straight and hugged Lin Shu, who was blushing, from the front.

After being hugged by Lorraine, Lin Shu froze for a moment, then tried to break free from Lorraine's embrace.

Seeing this, Lorraine tightened her arms, then gently placed her chin on Lin Shu's head, rubbing her rough face against the warm, jade-like dragon horns on her head.

Feeling the warmth from above, Lin Shu gave up struggling and nestled completely into Luo Lin's arms.

However, she was still a little shy, so she stretched out her arms and hugged Lorraine again, burying her face completely in Lorraine's chest.

A short while later, Lorraine felt a faint and irregular heat surging through her body.

At the same time, he also heard an extremely faint sound.

He then held his breath and vaguely heard Lin Shu's mutterings.

"How embarrassing... I'm such a grown-up... Although I expected this, why did it have to be in this kind of environment..."

After a moment, Lin Shu finally calmed herself down. She took her arm off Lorraine's back and gently nudged him.

Lorraine then released her arms and helped Lin Shu untie her long, slender tail, which, like the dragon's horns, had a white-to-yellow gradient, from her waist.

During this time, Lorraine inevitably came into contact with her smooth and warm dragon tail.

Lin Shu blushed again at the rough yet warm touch from the dragon's tail.

When the two finished washing up in their respective cabins and met in the dining room, she suddenly blushed again, as if remembering something.

She then began to change the subject, trying to escape the strange atmosphere.

"Xiao Nian is the same, still as outspoken as ever."

Just as these words were spoken, Ouyang Nian entered the restaurant and clearly heard his older sister's ramblings.

"Sis! You've forgotten about your own sister now that you have a boyfriend!"

Before Ouyang Nian could even voice her protest, she received a warning glare from Lin Shu.

Recalling the painful past, Ouyang Nian obediently shut his mouth and swallowed the words he was about to say.

But then she turned her gaze, picked up her breakfast, and sat down next to Lorraine. She then poked Lorraine's waist with her tail and whispered in his ear.

"Lorraine, no, brother-in-law, you can't be so heartless! Please help me!"

Lorin, who was listening intently, was startled by Ouyang Nian's address. Immediately afterward, he felt a chill and looked up to see Lin Shu's increasingly cold gaze.

Lorraine shivered, then quickly finished her breakfast and got up to leave, leaving Ouyang Nian and her angry sister face to face.

At that moment, Platinum appeared at the restaurant entrance, so Lorraine picked up Platinum's breakfast and pulled her away from the restaurant.

Before leaving, he also closed the restaurant's cabin door to give the two sisters space to talk.

But before the two could get far, Ouyang Nian's agonizing screams came through the heavy hatch.

"Commander, will she really be alright?"

Lorraine shook her head decisively and spoke.

"It's alright, Ouyang Nian is tough and can take a beating, and Lin Shu wouldn't hit her that hard."

No sooner had Lorraine finished speaking than an even more piercing scream rang out from the restaurant.

Lorraine's lips twitched slightly as she tried to justify herself.

"It's alright, every ship is equipped with a medical bay, so improving blood circulation and removing blood stasis won't be a problem."

As she spoke, Lorraine grabbed Platinum and quickly left the area.

The two stood on the deck, looking at the bustling construction site in the distance.

At present, of the 76 port cities of varying sizes within the Red Earth Federation, only 11 are under complete control.

Five of the port cities on the Red Earth Federation's mainland were captured by Lorraine and her fleet, while the other six port cities were located on Lania Island.

Since the main equipment for the deep-sea diving project is already known, the factory that will be built in Lorraine will leave room for human operation in addition to the completely unmanned, lights-out factory.

What is the current status of the development of unmanned forces?

Upon hearing Lorraine's sudden question, Platinum took out his data tablet, checked the relevant information, and then spoke.

"It's not very optimistic. The current level of intelligence in unmanned forces is insufficient, and they are unable to perform autonomous judgment at the campaign level."

"Cleveland's operational threads are almost exhausted, and they are now deploying squads for combat."

"In addition, the limited production of high-performance computers makes it impossible to efficiently deploy combat sub-units in Cleveland."

"If we want to expand our battle lines, we must start to replenish our command personnel."

Lorraine crossed his arms and fell into thought, his left index finger tapping incessantly on his right arm.

He then took out his data panel, found the Level 6 Technology Selection Pack that he had not yet redeemed, clicked to enter the Level 6 Technology Library catalog, and prepared to search for suitable AI technology and high-performance computing technology.

"Tsk."

"Um?"

Seeing Lorraine's annoyed expression, Platinum bent down and leaned close to Lorraine to look at the information displayed on the data panel, which only showed three technologies.

[Feasibility study and closed testing of the scalable AI program]

[Optical Technology-Based Quantum Computing Prototype]

[Prototype of Quantum Computing Using Superconducting Technology]

After a brief look at the introductions to these three technical documents, Platinum clearly understood that the expansion of a purely unmanned army was not feasible in the short term.

Now, Lorraine has two paths to choose from.

One option is to return to the previous research institute to update one's own permission level, and then use the higher permission level to awaken the senior commanders who are in deep-sea state.

The second option is to abandon rapid expansion, upgrade the fleet level step by step, find and kill higher-level overlords, and use the kill rewards to obtain higher-level databases.
