From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 141 Lilith's New Skills

After completing the ship registration, Amber did not leave directly.

Instead, he took everyone to find a hotel in the residential area of ​​Port Burton and settled down temporarily.

Although the ship is now in the company's name, according to the transaction agreement, Kirk and the others delivered more than just an empty ship.

A calculating person like Amber will never let go of any opportunity to make money.

When discussing the details of the transaction before, he tried every means to get the ship trading company to provide the service of repainting and replenishing the crew with basic supplies, basic ammunition, and materials for long-range voyages.

Of course, these services and supplies can also be completed at Burton Port at their own expense. As a space port whose main business is ship trading, it can be said that it has achieved one-stop service.

But Atlas is currently in its infancy, and Amber, who has always been diligent and frugal, feels that it would be helpful to save a little.

After the entire communication process, Amber had the illusion that she was 'negotiating' with the salesperson in a 4S store in her previous life.

Although it seemed like a lot of gifts, Amber had no mercy at all when bargaining for prices and bonus services.

The price difference earned by these middlemen is not small. Even at the current price and bonus services, this transaction made Kirk and the others a huge profit.

Among these additional services, ship repainting is the most important and the most valuable.

Although, the silver-white with gold-rimmed standard paint used by the Royal Navy of the Star Dragon Empire is indeed very beautiful.

However, this kind of "noble" painting may be just right for the unimpeded Royal Navy.

But it is still a bit too cool for a small PMC.

As a ship that will be frequently active in different war zones in the future and may even have to carry out some covert missions, it still needs to keep a low profile.

So Amber chose to repaint it without hesitation, and adopted the black and gray paint commonly used by warships carrying out covert missions.

And thanks to the reasonable structural design, the Dragoon class is also a ship that is very suitable for modification.

So Amber had the idea from the beginning to transform this destroyer into a spy ship in the future.

Repainting a destroyer that is more than 460 meters long is not a small project.

Even if it was driven into the dedicated paint shop in Port Burton, it would take seven or eight days to complete.

After all, there is a layer of nano-coating on the outer bulkhead of the ship that is used to turn on the optical camouflage, which needs to be processed first to prevent the optical camouflage from losing effect after repainting.

In addition, there was still work to load supplies and ammunition, so Amber simply took everyone to stay here temporarily.

Moreover, another Gyrator-class mining engineering barge will also be driven to Burton Port by shippers in the next two days.

So Amber planned to accept them all at once, so that the two ships could sail together and take care of each other.

After the second-hand Spinner class arrived at Burton Port, completed the relevant transactions and ship registration and named it the 'Nugger', and finally carved the wool into the hands of the ship dealer, Amber planned to return.

He and Randall will serve as captains of Hermes and Digger respectively, and the other people who came together before will also be split into two teams and board the two ships to meet the basic operational needs of the ships.

Before boarding the ship, Amber handed Randall a core set of shipboard control personalities to replace the original cores on the ship.

Neither the military-grade shipboard control personality on the Hermes nor the engineering control personality on the Digger were sold with the ship.

After all, the regulatory personality has been in a state of continuous learning since the first day it was activated.

Therefore, these regulatory personalities that have been activated for a long enough time can no longer be measured by conventional values.

After working for a long time, these "old ass" will be more experienced in various experiences and emergency response levels than the newly activated shipboard control personality.

Therefore, the core of these shipboard control personalities will be retained by the original ship owners and used directly on other ships.

The ship brokers will not be so kind as to send Amber and the others a set of cores. After completing the delivery of the ship, they will take away the temporarily installed control personality.

Therefore, in the transaction terms, it is also clearly stipulated that the buyer needs to prepare the shipboard control personality core by himself.

Amber was naturally well prepared and purchased two sets of 'factory brand new' cores.

However, he had no intention of directly using these two control personalities, which were as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Instead, Lilith was allowed to try out the new abilities she developed when she was bored.

Before setting off, Lilith used a better-performing host in the company's premises to quickly simulate nearly ten years of experience in the two cores after connecting them.

And it’s very considerate, simulating them respectively according to combat ships and engineering mining barges.

The experience of the past ten years is basically synthesized from the massive number of ship navigation cases and battle cases collected by Lilith through the public network and the Imperial Military Network.

It also contains a large number of extreme sailing records, which are basically to the extent that if you miss them, there will be no records.

Lilith's new ability, in layman's terms, is that Amber just drew a card while playing a mobile game, and then immediately fed the advanced combat video to max it out.

Two "brand new" shipboard control personalities turned into "old asss" who had been working hard for ten years overnight.

Although some research institutions have been conducting similar research.

But what they do is mostly achieved by replacing the memory in the core storage area.

Due to compatibility issues, this technology has not been practical until now.

As for Lilith's ability, as long as the 'ten years of combat videos' used for simulation are optimized, Amber can gain the incredible ability to mass-produce 'old ass'.

From now on, as long as the ships are in place, the control personalities on them will all be veterans of ten years.

"Lilith, you did a great job!"

When Amber saw this ability, she couldn't help but sigh like this.

Electronic warfare attack and defense, virus implantation, and information obscuration can only be considered tactical-level capabilities.

But this ability to ‘feed dog food’ is not an exaggeration to say it is strategic level.

And Lilith is also growing. Under Amber's correct guidance, she will not become a premature 'toaster' in another timeline.

On the contrary, more postures will be developed. No, more strategic abilities.

Amber felt that taking Lilith out of the institute at her own risk might be the most important decision she made after time travel.

If there is no golden finger, create one for yourself.

After taking the 'ten-year veteran' given by Amber to the ship and activating it, Randall saw the personality of the shipboard controller and completed the ship compatibility very quickly.

At the same time, it showed a very "old ass" operation - starting the ship while performing self-inspection.

He was still wondering where Amber got such a core that had obviously been activated for a long time, when he heard a beautiful and pleasant sound from the bridge:

"Captain~ The ship's self-inspection and main reactor have been completed and the main reactor has been started. You can enter the departure procedure at any time~"
