Learn one small skill every day

"Could you please explain yourself more clearly?"

Seeing Bai Miao's impatience, Gong Ni explained, "Captain, even our massive Endless Energy couldn't detect them from ten nautical miles away, which only means their development level is no more than 3. They not only lack basic observation equipment, but they don't even have the habit of observation. You should know that we haven't activated our stealth defense system yet."

“In fact, areas with a development level of less than 4 are not much different from seaweed in our eyes.”

Emma added, “I thought you would understand after consulting the knowledge base yesterday that when we contact low-development areas, we will only be seen as a miracle, and the people in the area will rush to get on board and receive God’s baptism. But it seems that you still do not realize that the division of development is not only based on technology, but also on ideas and social structure.”

Gong Ni countered Emma's statement: "How come I remember that the most important factor in determining the development level was still the extent of their technological advancement?"

Emma glanced at Gong Ni silently: "Has the long-term research and development work affected your memory? Do you still remember the territory you encountered that used laser weapons but only used laser weapon technology to manufacture swords and shields? That place was even a tribal system. Even if you were lucky enough to obtain relics from the ocean, they were nothing more than a bunch of green algae."

Gong Ni curled his lip: "What's so great about lasers? Gunpowder and metal are what's romantic."

Why are these two arguing...?

Bai Miao thought to himself that the relationships between these ministers and their secretaries were quite complicated.

The distance of ten nautical miles was covered in less than ten minutes at the Infinite Energy's normal speed.

Bai Miao also saw the other ship through the projection on the table.

so small.

A wooden boat, about twenty meters long, was currently sitting on the sea, helplessly tossing and turning in front of the waves stirred up by the Endless Energy ship.

The people on the ship, seeing the enormous creature rapidly approaching, were almost terrified and prostrated themselves on the deck in prayer.

"Hey Captain, they seem to have almost no desire to communicate. Shall we board?"

Nebeibive asked.

Emma reminded her again, "Captain, you don't have to show up in person for this. You can leave it to the ministers to handle, and you can just take command here."

"Place a megaphone over there to project my image onto the enemy ship, while simultaneously blurring my appearance."

Bai Miao's instructions surprised Emma.

"It seems you have a certain understanding of these technologies, as you were able to think of using projection in this way."

When Bai Miao appeared on the wooden boat, everyone kowtowed to him.

"O God of the Ocean! You have finally appeared! Please listen to the prayers and praises of your devout followers!"

"Stop with all that nonsense, tell me about your civilization first."

Bai Miao got a headache just listening to this group of people chanting scriptures.

"Lord Sea God! Thank you for your mercy!"

Before explaining their own civilization to Bai Miao, there was, as usual, a long passage praising Bai Miao.

Finally, Bai Miao asked about the three accessories, but it seemed that the other party couldn't understand Bai Miao's words at all, let alone find the items.

The Endless Energy also helped record these people's words, generating a report on the region's development level.

"Development level 2, relying on the sea for sustenance, there is no concrete behavior of searching for relics in the sea, the only technology is learned by relying on relics brought to the land by the tides."

"As people obtained resources from the sea, their awe of the ocean grew stronger over time, eventually giving rise to sects that worshipped the sea."

"Identified as the most common development area, with low research value."

Emma said coldly, "This region has already developed a religion despite its low level of development, and has seen the Endless Energy, witnessing a level of technology far exceeding the region's level of development. Therefore, in accordance with one of the Endless Energy's basic principles, this region will be exterminated."

After speaking, Emma issued an order to the Minister of Security.

"The area has been affected, and extermination measures are now being implemented."

Nebeibive said lazily, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

"and many more!"

Bai Miao hadn't expected Emma to bypass him and give the order directly to the minister.

I never imagined it would lead to the extinction of this entire region.

Nebebivo ignored Bai Miao's words. He saw streaks of fire lighting up the land not far away, and the entire land was filled with flames and scorched earth.

Emma looked at Bai Miao: "The Endless Energy has some basic rules, and I hope you will study them diligently during your career as captain."

"Then why didn't you tell me all this from the beginning? Does a region with such low development levels have no reason to exist?"

Emma shook her head: "If the Endless Energy hadn't appeared in their sight, there wouldn't have been any danger in the area. But when they see technology beyond their comprehension, they'll see it as a miracle. In the future, the area will regard the Endless Energy as a miracle, as a god. This is something we cannot accept. We don't want any human to regard the Endless Energy as a god. We are the representatives of technology, not gods."

"As for the basic rules of the Endless Energy, I hope you will gradually accumulate them during your career as captain, and I cannot tell you them directly."

"Boom!!!"

As the ship projected by Bai Miao sank to the bottom of the sea, only the tip of the iceberg of the Endless Energy slowly emerged from the water.

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Crew

Your identity is: Security Department Crew Member

Wang Xiang opened his eyes, and a bunch of information about his identity immediately flashed through his mind.

"Looks like I wasn't lucky enough to be chosen as captain..."

Wang Xiang quickly checked the room he was in.

This is a four-person room with two bunk beds, two desks, and a private bathroom. The room is quite well-equipped. Judging from the room's layout, Wang Xiang can tell that this is a dungeon with a certain level of technology.

The Endless Energy may not be all hype.

The team's communication chat was already flooded with messages.

"I'm in the R&D department. Are there any senior colleagues in my department?"

"I'm in the Operations Management Department..."

"Does anyone in the HR department look familiar?"

Among the many pieces of information, Wang Xiang quickly discovered a problem.

Of the six departments, no one joined the Power Department, and the remaining nine were assigned to the other five departments, with only one person in the R&D Department.

"Let's all talk about the main tasks of our departments. At present, it seems that we crew members have no opportunity to search for the missing parts. The lower-level crew members cannot decide the direction of the ship. I estimate that the direction needs to be decided by the captain. What we need to do is to provide a reference for the captain's decision. But before that, we need to find out the captain's attitude."

Wang Xiang's words were met with approval from the others.

"Master of ink painting, I remember you said last time that you studied law, so you must be a high-IQ person. I believe you and will follow you."

Wang Xiang also responded, "Thank you for your trust. Let's work together to pass the level."

"Does the captain have any additional tasks? Why did the captain cut off communication with us? Let me first say that I am an employee of the human resources department. I know that there are more than 5,000 crew members on the Endless Energy. Why are there so many people? Is it possible that he wants us to hide well and not be discovered by the captain?"

A human resources employee raised a question.

"Yes, that's highly likely," Wang Xiang affirmed.

"The R&D department seems to be researching very powerful weapons. I happen to have knowledge in this area. The strength of these weapons exceeds that of our modern traditional missiles, and the strength of the materials they are producing is also outrageous... The technology here is far superior to ours."

The only R&D staff member also provided the information they knew.

They made full use of the information they had and communicated with each other on the communication network.

"Everyone, can I say something?"

Amidst the intense anticipation of everyone, Zhao Ling, an employee of the training department, began to speak.

"The most urgent task is to figure out what the captain is thinking. We need to establish contact with the captain as soon as possible so that we can communicate with him later. We also need to find out if the three parts we are looking for have been claimed. If they have been obtained by others, we should find out how to peacefully get the parts back."

Wang Xiang also revealed some information about the security department: "It seems that the security department is not protecting the captain, but rather protecting the entire Endless Energy from external threats. This is actually hard to verify."

"First of all, the security department is responsible for protecting the entire ship, so shouldn't they be able to protect the captain? Or is there a crisis within the ship specifically targeting the captain? Secondly, we can also consider whether the captain's crisis might actually originate from us crew members."

"One of the instructions is that we must completely obey the captain's orders. If the captain asks us to commit suicide, do we still have to obey? We also need to consider the captain's attitude towards the crew. It seems that the captain has absolute control over our lives and deaths. We cannot entrust our lives to others."

Wang Xiang typed out a long string of words, attempting to construct the image of a dictatorial and tyrannical captain.

It would be unwise to make contact with the captain without knowing his identity.

However, finding spare parts definitely requires the captain to determine the course of the journey.

Wang Xiang believes that finding a balance between these two points is what the crew members should be doing.

If the captain doesn't have any additional tasks for the crew, why would he disconnect the communication between the two sides?

To put it bluntly, the captain might actually be hostile to the crew.

This is a faction-based battle dungeon!

But Zhao Ling insisted on his own idea: "The captain is also our teammate! Why didn't you trust your own people in the first place? The sooner we get in touch with the captain, the sooner we can discuss the course of the journey with him."

"That idea is too idealistic. It's better to be safe than sorry. The mission didn't give a time limit, so we should focus on our work and gather as much intelligence as possible about the ship in the next few days."

Faced with an unknown crisis, the vast majority of people chose Wang Xiang, agreeing that it was best not to contact the captain and to stay on the ship to gather information.

Zhao Ling only received support from one person, who was the same person who had cleared the previous instance with him.

“Zhao Ling, these people can’t understand your ideas, but that’s okay. They’ll regret it later. Let’s contact the captain privately first, and then let the captain punish these scoundrels.”

"That's right. Anyway, let's get to work first, and then ask the minister how to talk to the captain. Based on my experience from the previous two dungeons, the peaceful route of communication is effective. Those people are too selfish, only thinking about how much benefit they can get. Why can't everyone sit down and talk calmly? I can already imagine the scene when they find the parts in the hands of other forces and forcibly take them back."

……

The day passed quickly, the sea was calm on the ship, and the knockers from different departments were able to get down to their work smoothly with the help of the memories in their minds.

Zhao Ling tried several times to chat with the head of the training department, but the head told her that talking to employees was not her job, and that if she wanted to chat, she should go to the head of the human resources department, who would be happy to help her.

However, Zhao Ling's chances of being able to go to other departments are almost zero, unless he applies for psychological counseling.

Psychological counseling is not necessarily handled by the head of the human resources department; it is more likely to be handled by another crew member who is also knocking on the door.

Therefore, Zhao Ling temporarily lost his target and asked another teammate in the security department to help him establish contact with the captain.

Unfortunately, it's rare to even catch a glimpse of the Minister of Security.

Finally, the next day, the head of security contacted the two crew members who had knocked on the door and asked them to activate their weapons and attack the designated location.

Amidst the endless flames, Wang Xiang used his observation device to discover the captain's projection above the enemy ship.

Like a god, with a wave of his hand, he decides the fate of life on a piece of land.

At the same time, Wang Xiang also broadcast live on the public channel how he was asked to fire weapons, how the captain used projection to receive the worship of the natives, and how the entire island was destroyed.

"Be careful, the captain's goal may not be to find the parts; what he's doing now is no different from a massacre."
