Chapter 338: (EDT) Second Part - Vermilion Empress (2)

'Clarify deployment, Stein,' Zhang Qin Feng interrupted the system in between before he felt lost. It seems that the word got his attention.

[Deployment Module. A unique feature of the Vermilion Empress. The functionality comes in four different modules, starting from Shipbuilding Dock, Engineering Factory, Residential Block, and Multi-purpose Module]

[From the record, a maximum of two modules can be deployed simultaneously, which will stretch the vessel into a half-kilometer-class manmade island]

[The system will now create an image of how the module works… Please hold…]

[Toot!]

[System error. The deployment module is incomplete. Shipbuilding Dock is working in 50% efficiency, and Engineering Bay is at 25% efficiency]

[From the system's discovery, Residential Block Module is missing, and Multi-purpose Module is unaligned. Further work has to be done to ensure the module is functioning correctly. Suggesting only one module is active at a time]

After a series of errors, warnings, and reminders, Stein finally calmed down once again. It seems that he had quite a lot to do before utilizing this ship for his own advantage.

"Continue," Zhang Qin Feng ordered after digested the previous information and delivered some instructions to Adam and Frank. He had both of them reporting back to Marvin until they finished fitting the Shipbuilding Dock Module. Lucky for them, the Engineering Factory seems to be usable even without deploying, but that's only for common everyday goods.

The current Engineering Factory would be good enough unless they want to construct the lost part for Residential Module or another Jiaolong Cruiser.

He was then briefed with the following summary, which includes weaponry, blueprints, and other functions that could be added as long he had the resources. From this part of the summary, Zhang Qin Feng noticed that the developer of this mothership is likely the same developer for the town building module he introduced to the modern world.

Furthermore, it seems that this 500m colossal-class mothership is not the limit. As long as resources are not a problem, the Vermilion Empress can be upgraded limitlessly to close to 1,500m Leviathan-Class monster.

Of course, that was the extent of the three Fusion Reactor EX can hold.

And on the final part of the summary was the possible location for the three remaining vessels. Their base design was also included in this summary. Inside explains the flexibility of linking together to form a small island for mankind in case of emergency.

'What a fantastic design these people had. Unfortunately, the Seed Crystal Virus destroyed everything they had built. Although the technology from where I came still has a long way to go, our development is at least still growing, instead of stagnating.' Zhang Qin Feng spoke to himself.

He was impressed but, at the same time, disappointed at their choice to throw away their sense of humanity for the sake of technology. Over here, the feeling of love, humility, and morality was treated as nothing but a mere disturbance in their feeling.

Of course, that depends on the person he's talking about.

Taking Satella as an example, she might be slightly stiff in her own thoughts, but did she not behaves a little more human-like than before?

And the same actually applied to the people in Wind Base, where they're starting to find back the satisfaction behind life, love, and loyalty.

Nothing came on their way as the vessel continued to sail further. And during that time, Zhang Qin Feng tried his luck in traveling back to where he came from.

Unfortunately, the system seems to be unable to work correctly due to his constant change of location. Added with the disturbance in the energy field from the Linebarrel Tank's cannon, the dimensional rift seems to be unstable for now.

Although he could force his way back home, doing so might have a risk. Furthermore, there's no Seed Crystal Virus exist from where he came, meaning there are no Duranium Shards is produced over there.

If something were to happen, that would be the last transmission from Zhang Qin Feng before he's gone.

On the eleventh day, the vessel finally came across a desolated island without residents. Through the Luna Device's scanner, it was an island without inhabitors. But weird enough, the island doesn't seem like nobody was living on it.

The sight was too peculiar, making even Zhang Qin Feng is questioning himself. From the scanner, it was indeed a barren island without any single movement in reading. But on the ground, it was littered with skeletons, rotted food, and rusty equipment. Both new and old belongings were stacked altogether, forming a mountain of disposal goods.

And yet, from so many skeletons here, there's not a single trace of people were living here.

"What do you guys think?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. He wasn't the only one that could notice this. Everyone else on the Vermilion Empress also noticed the peculiarity on this island.

Even without the Luna Device, he could feel that there's something he doesn't know about this island.

But with a limited number of crews capable of fighting is inside the ship now, all Zhang Qin Feng could do was spare a few soldiers to form a scouting party. And this time, he had to move carefully.

Without Satella, Alex, Shaun, and Queenie around, he was the only one capable of leading an attack team right now. This is why, before he knew what they were going to face on this island, everything had to be done moderately.

"Maintain our ship's position until I come back. Stay alert of our surroundings and do not go anywhere else. Adam and Frank, we'll be relying on you to build an Assailant-Class Patrol Boat. Victor, you'll be looking for people to command that boat after it was complete, understand?" Zhang Qin Feng gave each of them something to do.

"Yes, Boss!" those with a mission quickly replied.

In the meantime, Zhang Qin Feng and ten men took a fast boat towards the island. Coming ashore on the beach, the team quickly scattered and searched for the hint of survivors or inhabitants living here.
