Learn one small skill every day

"Just keep an eye on them, and contact me immediately if they react!"

After leaving those words, the major general turned and walked into the cabin.

A deathly silence fell over the deck.

When Bai Miao brought Kaguya back to the Endless Energy Ship, upon hearing that Kaguya was still conscious and able to move freely, all the ministers gathered around.

Emma, ​​on the other hand, stood in the back corner, the setting sun casting the shadows of the ship's rooftop onto her.

“Emma, ​​come here, let me introduce her to you.”

Bai Miao walked over.

Emma's eyes were calm: "Captain, rather than going to find parts you've never seen before, I think I should congratulate you first. This is the second part you've found. With only one more left, the Endless Energy will be back to its best condition."

As she spoke, Emma glanced at the ministers gathered in the distance and sighed, "They don't seem to understand the point. They're just a bunch of machines, but they're acting like humans. Captain, it's time you stepped up the training for the ministers... What are you planning to do?"

Emma watched Bai Miao approach her step by step, then took a few steps back: "Captain, don't assume that finding the second part will make me completely obedient to you. I need to remind you that we are on deck now...!"

Bai Miao grabbed Emma's wrist and half-dragged, half-pulled her into the crowd.

"Kaguya!"

Bai Miao called out.

"Hey, Captain!"

The others made way for her, and Kaguya jogged up to Bai Miao: "Captain, what's wrong?"

"Let me introduce you."

Bai Miao pushed Emma in front of Kaguya: "This is Secretary Emma. When you become the department head, you will have to deal with her a lot in your work."

"Hello, Emma, ​​I am Kaguya. I was one of the first ones created. Back then, the captain basically handed over everything to us to design you. It's a pity I didn't get to see the moment you were born. Let's get to know each other slowly later."

Emma's hands were awkwardly placed in front of her, her brows furrowed, and she glared at Bai Miao with a hint of anger: "Captain...you're forcing me like this..."

“Kaguya is your senior, so her return is something to celebrate as well.”

Emma glared at Bai Miao again, then reluctantly turned to Kaguya and said, "Welcome back to the Infinite Energy..."

"Although I'd like to say this, we're still at war with the enemy... so please keep your attention on them for a bit."

As she spoke, Emma looked up at the dozen or so people hanging in mid-air.

Their hands and feet were bound, and their mouths were gagged; they swayed from side to side with the sea breeze.

“Indeed… let’s save the celebration for the next salvage mission. Right now, let’s deal with the little tail behind us. Except for the security department, all other departments can go back. Vena, you coordinate with Kaguya. She has new members to join the ship and is also handling the establishment of the medical department. Emma, ​​you go and help out too.”

Bai Miao knew that Emma was habitually stubborn, so he tried to create more opportunities for Kaguya to interact with Emma and Venus, hoping that they would become familiar with each other eventually.

Emma looked at Bai Miao helplessly, and seeing that the latter had no intention of changing his mind, she shook her head: "Then you can take charge of interrogating these green algae that drifted near the Endless Energy, and also take care of the larger one."

Interrogation? That's my specialty.

Bai Miao hurriedly ordered his men to take down the outsiders hanging above and remove the restraints from their mouths one by one.

"Who among you holds the highest rank?"

Bai Miao asked, and seeing that no one spoke, he continued, "I plan to kill the highest-ranking official first. If no one claims responsibility, I'll just kill whoever comes first."

"it's me!"

As soon as Bai Miao finished speaking, a petite, short-haired girl shouted, "Come at me! I'm the captain! Let them go! I'm more important than all of them combined!"

Bai Miao actually used his aura-observation technique to tell that this girl was the highest-ranking official. All of these people had the same color of aura, but this girl's color was darker.

This indicates that its status is also higher.

"What's your name?"

"Bunise".

"Keep the others hanging up, then prepare a room for me; I'm going to interrogate them thoroughly."

There were many rooms on the Endless Energy ship, and for convenience, Bai Miao chose a room on the first floor.

"I won't answer any of your questions unless you release them!"

Boones's eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a killer."

"Are you saying that wiping out an entire civilization doesn't count as indiscriminate killing?"

"There's a reason for all of that. The fact that you can still talk to me like this even though I didn't kill you or sink your ships speaks volumes."

Bai Miao glanced at the ropes binding Bunis's hands and feet: "What I want to know isn't complicated. How did you know our route, and why do you want to attack us?"

Bunis thought the other party would ask about the parameters of their own ships and their weapons and equipment.

But it seems the other party isn't paying any attention at all?

These were hardly secrets, and Bunise was happy to tell Bai Miao.

Bai Miao listened quietly and figured out the cause and effect.

As expected, the destruction and disruption of civilizations attracted the attention of other civilizations.

A highly developed civilization will inevitably explore the outside world, and its attitude towards the outside world depends on the different directions of development of different civilizations.

The Olympian civilization, to which Bunis belongs, seems to see itself as a recorder and observer of civilizations. It neither interferes with nor saves lower-level civilizations, but simply observes and records them.

They will only engage in communication and discussion with someone once they meet the standards that they deem acceptable.

What the Endless Energy ship did was to intervene madly, not only taking some of the civilizations at the docking location with them, but also leaving some behind to lead their civilizations to develop.

If any group is found to worship the Endless Energy as a god, they will be exterminated.

The Olympic civilization already regards the Endless Energy Ship as a thorn in its side.

Bai Miao thought to himself that what the Endless Energy had done was indeed pure villainy in the eyes of other civilizations.

Bai Miao didn't bother to explain, and simply got up and untied the ropes binding Bunis's hands.

"What are you doing?!"

"I want to make a deal with you. I'll let you go back, but you have to go back and spread the word that the ghost ship is something your current technology can't handle. According to the civilization level classification on our ship, you should be considered a level 5 city, but your city level is far from enough. When you develop into a level 6 metropolitan area, or have the potential to develop into a metropolitan area, then we will come to you for deeper cooperation."

Bai Miao has witnessed firsthand the difficulty a civilization faces in developing to level 5.

That is why Bai Miao did not want to easily give up such a high level of civilization.

Although bringing a civilization to level 6 is not Bai Miao's current task, he doesn't mind planting the seed.

Using a powerful enemy as a driving force for development should be a good direction.

Without external threats, it's easy for internal strife to erupt.

But Bunis clearly misunderstood Bai Miao's meaning.

She sneered, "You want us to drop the warrant for your arrest? Don't dream about it, you just don't have the guts to deal with us!"

"They won't shed tears until they see the coffin... Hey? Is the Minister of Security there? Give that ship a shot of the Lonnickus, but don't sink it, just make sure it can sail. Let's see if they still go crazy."

"receive."

"Come on, let's watch the fireworks."

Bai Miao dragged Bunis onto the deck, then remembered that she couldn't see very clearly from so far away, so he thoughtfully asked for a telescope and handed it to Bunis.

Bunnis saw a red curve streak across the sea and plunge headfirst into the bow of the Gaia.

Then the entire bow of the Gaia disappeared into thin air.

Bunis burst into tears.

She saw many of her colleagues still looking out from the bow of the ship, and thus, she perished in the attack that was both mysterious and unexplained.

"If you keep being ungrateful, I'm going to get angry. You don't want me to dig the coordinates of your civilization out of your head and then sink your entire civilization into the sea, do you?"

Chapter 134 Just keep spoiling him.

In the end, Bunis had no choice but to agree to Bai Miao's request. This request itself did not cause any loss to her or the Gaia. The only loss was caused by her refusal.

In short, I deeply regret it.

"I...I have another question I'd like to ask you..."

Bonise still remembers that her mission was to figure out how the ghost ship operated and how it was able to sail at sea for so long without any malfunctions.

"I know you have a problem. Your small team sneaking up here definitely wasn't to plant explosives in the ship. Go ahead and ask, but don't expect me to answer you."

"We want to know... how you deal with the technological suppression posed by the ocean."

Another word I've never heard before...

Bai Miao feigned nonchalance and asked in return, "And you?"

"We choose people with special physical conditions to be captains. As long as the captain doesn't die, the ship can withstand the effects of the ocean, and the signals sent through the captain will not be altered. If the ship loses its way, the captain can also guide it home. So our captains are bound to their seats once they go to sea and cannot leave at all, while you can move so freely... there must be a different way to deal with it."

“Currently, a captain can only last for a maximum of thirty days, so before setting sail, we need to prepare a certain number of captain candidates. Most of them are veteran seamen who are seriously ill and don’t have much time left… But this also greatly limits the scope of our exploration. If we could master other low-cost methods, I think we could go much further.”

Bunis mustered her courage and asked, "Could you please teach us this technology? If you can give us this technology, and considering that the Gaia has already suffered such a blow, I think the Commander-in-Chief and the others will understand that you are friendly, not forced."

Bai Miao wondered why it sounded so familiar.

It seems the captain is just a scapegoat here.

But it doesn't seem like an unusual situation that happened on our own ship...

Their captain fared even worse; he was essentially used as a human battery.

"Even if I were the captain, I probably couldn't tell you things that involve ship secrets so easily, at least not now."

“You mean…” A glimmer of hope rose in Bunise’s eyes.

"Go back according to the conditions I gave you. If you do well enough, we will bring you more technology that you can't even imagine. Our goal has never been to destroy civilization, but to guide it to a higher level. Perhaps this does not conform to your civilization's policy, but this sea is not for you to decide."

Bai Miao untied the ropes binding Bunis and then ordered the group of people hanging above to be lowered down.

"Do you understand? I hope your superiors are smart enough to realize the gap between us. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind supporting a different civilization."

"Who...who exactly are you people?"

Bunis thought Bai Miao's words were utterly absurd, but seeing that the weapon was just a common mass-produced item, she had to believe that Bai Miao might not have been exaggerating.
