Learn one small skill every day

"Does your operations management department have work records? Does it record whether the salvage operation started after the rain stopped?"

Irina smiled at Bai Miao: "Captain, I know what you mean. Unfortunately, we don't record whether the salvage operation takes place after the rain stops, and every salvage operation carries a certain degree of risk. Whether or not to wait for the rain to stop is your decision as the captain."

It's me, the captain, taking the blame again.

How could the Operations Management Department refuse to handle such an important record?

"Then I require your operations management department to keep track of weather changes before and after each salvage operation."

"This...cannot be done."

"You can't do it?! You can't even keep such a simple record?"

"Electronic records can be altered. Are you sure you want to use parchment scrolls to record every salvager operation?"

Irina's words jolted Bai Miao awake, reminding him of a sentence he had seen in the knowledge base.

There are no animals on land other than humans; only fish and sea monsters in the sea.

Where the hell did this parchment scroll come from?

"Emma, ​​can you explain this parchment scroll? Is this thing very valuable?"

Emma glanced at Bai Miao with some surprise: "Why do you suddenly have doubts about the parchment scroll? Is it because the head of the operations management department brought it up? The production process of this thing is indeed quite complicated, but it is not considered precious."

“The texts in some of the relics compare humans to two-legged sheep, so the parchment scrolls are also human parchment scrolls. Do you understand now?”

Irina also said, "Every time we have to record it on parchment scrolls, and there will be a lot of parchment scrolls later on. It's impossible to flip through them one by one, so it's best not to record it. It's definitely not because I'm lazy."

"...Since electronic information can be modified, how can I be sure that the knowledge in the knowledge base is completely correct? Hasn't the knowledge base of the Endless Energy been modified?"

Emma raised her hand and patted it gently: "Congratulations on realizing this, but compared to the massive amount of information in the knowledge base, even if the error rate reaches 50%, I doubt you would realize or see it. You don't need to know most of this knowledge, let alone care about its accuracy."

Bai Miao was somewhat speechless; the two seemed to have a good reason for not making a record.

"What kind of things were the salvaged artifacts?"

"It's probably everything you can see on the ship, from small works of art and jewelry to all sorts of strange items. Captain, you should have talked to the research and development manager about these relics yesterday, right? She always gets the majority of them."

The head of the operations management department doesn't seem very cooperative...

What risks do you typically encounter during the salvage operation?

"Captain, I know what you mean. Anyway, there's no risk of the Endless Energy being destroyed. However, we've had several captains due to mistakes during the salvage operation."

"?"

"Explain the mistake in detail? Why should I be the one to suffer during your salvage operation? You're not going to make me go down with you, are you?"

Irina smiled at Bai Miao: "After the salvage failure that night, there were probably more than ten abnormal phenomena on the Endless Energy. It was impossible for the captain to find them all, so we replaced him."

"Are the unusual phenomena on the ship related to the salvage operation?"

Irina shook her head: "Captain, our operations management department is not taking the blame for this."

"Then why should I, as the captain, bear the consequences of your salvage failure? This is your job, isn't it?"

Although more than ten anomalies were not a big deal for Bai Miao, it would be a huge loss if he didn't get some benefits from the Operations Management Department.

"Unless... your salvage failures only occur under specific circumstances? And those circumstances are caused by me, the captain?"

Bai Miao felt that this made sense.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for the captain to be made a scapegoat, with his life and death entirely dependent on whether the operations management department made a mistake during the salvage operation.

The answer is then obvious.

It's best not to attempt to retrieve items from salvage sites that you discover during rain.

Irina's smile slowly faded: "I hate sensitive captains like you the most."

Emma nodded: "Minister Irina, perhaps this time you can look forward to the fact that the captain has been in office for more than a month. I remember you said last time that if the captain has been in office for more than a month, you should let the captain choose a relic for him to keep as his private collection?"

"Secretary Emma, ​​if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sisters? Mother and Daughter!

The tension between the two was palpable, and Bai Miao could tell that Secretary Emma didn't have a very good relationship with the other ministers.

But this Irina also had a lot of bad intentions towards the captain.

They actually dared to hide information from me. Luckily, I was more skilled and asked more questions.

"Minister Irina, is what Emma just said true? In thirty days, I can choose one relic as my private collection?"

This should be the reward for the captain character in the dungeon.

Considering the difficulty of identifying abnormal phenomena between 10 PM and 2 AM, Bai Miao felt that some benefits should indeed be given.

If someone else were in charge, they would probably be driven crazy in just a few days.

"Of course, but you don't have many relics to choose from. The vast majority have been dismantled and studied by the R&D department."

Gong Ni, you really deserve to die.

However, Bai Miao thought again that Gong Ni had discovered something new through the relics. If he could trick Gong Ni into giving him these things, he wouldn't lose out.

The problem is that Gong Ni is not easily fooled; he treats his invention like a treasure.

There's plenty of time ahead, and Bai Miao is prepared for a long battle in this instance.

At least this time, we learned from Irina that the unusual phenomena the captain was monitoring at night were related to the salvage of the relics.

If a salvage operation fails, there will be more than ten abnormal phenomena on the night of the operation. If the salvage operation is successful, there may be very few abnormal phenomena on the night of the operation. At other times, the abnormal phenomena will remain within a certain range.

However, the deeper connections are still unclear, and the entire Endless Energy is shrouded in mystery.

To achieve a high level of exploration, solving these mysteries is key.

And so, Bai Miao spent another day on the ship's command. Two unusual events occurred that night, and he also drew the skill "Estimating Distance".

It can probably allow Bai Miao to judge distances within a range of 1 meters, with an accuracy of 0.1 meters.

Bai Miao can make a judgment as long as there are two reference points.

Bai Miao discovered that the greatest use of this skill was that it allowed him to visually estimate Emma's measurements.

It's quite big.

Emma sensed that Bai Miao's gaze was somewhat different from usual. She awkwardly placed her hand on her chest, frowned, and warned, "Please don't look at me with that primal, instinctive gaze."

"Do you remember who created you? What a genius."

Bai Miao couldn't understand why these secretaries were made to look so stunning. Logically speaking, the appearance of these machines that were responsible for auxiliary work should not be a key aspect to focus on.

When Emma heard this question, she simply shrugged: "Just as you don't remember who your mother was, I don't remember who my creator was."

"Then it seems we are all orphans."

"Discussing the topic of family is pointless. Please prepare for your duty shift today. Today's duty manager is Ouyang from the Training Department."

Ouyang and Weina look very similar, and their departmental affairs also have many similarities.

Ouyang seemed much more introverted than Weiner, but it wasn't out of timidity; rather, he simply had little expression and spoke very little.

"What would you like to drink?"

Bai Miao's goal for the week was to figure out the tastes and preferences of each minister.

The Power Department and the Security Department are excluded.

"Iced cocoa."

The refrigeration system on the Endless Energy is amazing. You just need to put things into a refrigerator-like container, and the temperature will drop to the required level in less than a second.

"You and Vena both like Coco, and you look quite alike. Are you two... sisters?"

Emma glanced helplessly at Bai Miao: "Captain, it seems you didn't hear a word I said. I don't blame you; after all, your information processing ability is indeed too slow. But forgetting everything right after I finished speaking has certainly lowered my opinion of your limits. I'll emphasize again, discussing family topics is not allowed..."

“I am her mother.”

"?"

Ouyang interrupted Emma and made a very explosive statement.

Are they not sisters, but mother and daughter?

Seeing Emma's mouth half-open, her words cut off mid-sentence, Bai Miao secretly rejoiced. Ouyang Ming was clearly trying to sow discord between Emma and Bai Miao.

"Minister Ouyang, I never imagined that the captain's mental disability was contagious. Please reconsider your words."

Ouyang glanced at Emma, ​​then at Bai Miao: "I am Venus's mother, but not biologically."

"I think you should have figured out by now that we ministers aren't human. The Human Resources Department and the Training Department used to be the same department, but they were later separated. In order to manage the Human Resources Department, I created Venus based on my own appearance."

"Then can you remember who created you?"

Ouyang simply looked at Bai Miao and said, "That's not important. The person who created us is gone. The only thing he left in the world is this ship."

The information the head of the training department had seemed far too much.

"So what is the purpose of this Endless Energy ship? What will we do after we find the spare parts?"

"Let's talk about it after we find it."

I completed the game after finding it...

Seeing that Ouyang was no longer willing to talk about the ship, Bai Miao had no choice but to ask her about the operation of the training department.

The training department's tasks are divided into two parts: training new employees and evaluating experienced employees.

Those who fail the assessment will be forced to disembark.

However, the content of each assessment is determined by the captain. Minister Ouyang will provide several assessment options in advance, and Bai Miao will choose one of them as the evaluation criterion for this assessment.

It was only at this moment that Bai Miao felt he had a slight sense of involvement as the captain.

But it seems like they're trying to find a scapegoat; this sense of involvement is better left undone.

What happens if too many people fail the assessment and disembark?

Ouyang shrugged: "Too many, and the entire Endless Energy might not be able to operate properly. But too few, and you won't be able to filter out the crew members who can no longer stay on the ship. Their mistakes will also cause losses to the Endless Energy."

Bai Miao sighed: "So I have to choose a compromise that can both remove those crew members who are not suitable to stay on the ship and not get rid of too many old employees, right?"

Ouyang nodded.
