I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

In the records of Huanmeng, the Deep Sea Silent Fleet, which was originally hostile to Huanmeng, extended a helping hand when Huanmeng suffered setbacks. They formed a united front with Huanmeng on the grounds that "when a great enemy is at hand, ship girls should put aside their internal strife and unite against the enemy."

Laura strongly suspects this is a Lexington conspiracy. If this principle is upheld, then why did the Deep Sea join forces with the Great Khan to attack Phantom during the Great Khan's invasion?

Oh, Sukhbaatar is also a ship girl, so in a way it's an internal conflict, but that's alright.

The Deep Sea was created to put enough pressure on Huanmeng, but in another universe, Huanmeng no longer needs to worry about this problem, so naturally she needs to find a way to take back the Silent Fleet, a force with considerable combat power.

However, these things are not really related to Laura for the time being. The global giant's role in the external war of Fantasy should just be that of an ordinary transportation company.

At most, they would lease or sell battleships and Titan hulls to Huanmeng. As for whether they would be modified, that was none of Huanyu's business.

Of course, as members of the same galaxy, the global giant would not show favoritism without reason. Quasi-god-level civilizations that are hostile to Huanmeng can also apply to the global giant for assistance and the delivery of strategic materials through the Yeshu World.

However, economically, Huanmeng is backed by the Four Civilizations Alliance and supported by the Galaxy of Stars, and also enjoys top-tier VIP benefits at the galactic level, giving it an absolute advantage.

Even in terms of fleet strength, which was previously a weakness, the disadvantage has been gradually reversed thanks to policy support and the joint formation of the Deep Sea Silent Fleet and the Royal Fleet of Aierriel.

As far as Laura knew, Huanmeng was currently deploying its main fleet to the Fomalhaut system, which was not far from the solar system. It was a single-point hyperspace transit system responsible for transit, and its strategic significance was self-evident.

If the enemy star base in Fomalhaut can be destroyed, then Huanmeng's fleet can be diverted to multiple enemy mega-systems. Even if they only occupy them for a few months, Huanmeng can establish emergency access points for stargates, creating favorable conditions for a subsequent counterattack.

"However, this has nothing to do with our universe. Before the Pan-Galactic Trade Alliance is established, the universe must remain neutral, at least on the surface."

On Noah's flagship, the initial founding team of the universe gathered together after a long time. They blew on their red tea and Santi explained to Laura, "We can't even interfere with the purge agreement."

"However, Lexington probably doesn't need it either."

Veneto felt a pang of shame when he recalled the nearly one thousand trade ships that Lexington had previously ordered from Global. Though called trade ships, those in the know understood—the weapon slots on them weren't even disguised.

Once taken back and fitted with the base axis weapons and shield generator, it will be a brand new warship.

After all, as a great company that serves the entire galaxy and pursues love and peace, the world's transportation and customer service teams often have to travel through all sorts of dangerous situations, so it's normal to equip them with some necessary weapon slots, right?

"Honestly, I could have easily crushed them all, but now I can only watch from here."

Unable to play, Little Noah was sullen, his face puffed up in anger, which made Santi smile. If the universe really wanted to take action against that quasi-god-level civilization, it would have to use much more efficient methods.

Deploying the Purge Agreement is the least efficient method. If Huanyu were to take action, wouldn't it be faster to directly use the Dyson Neil beam or the Penrose sphere to change the hyperspace trajectory?

Unfortunately, there is simply no reason for the world to deploy an armed fleet.

None of the people present were worried about whether Huanmeng would lose. In this battle, the convenience that Huanyu provided to Huanmeng was even enough to attack the capital star system of a quasi-god level civilization. A mere border war star system was just a piece of cake.

The reason why Huanmeng went to war with the quasi-god level civilization is very simple: Huanmeng has protected the lower-level civilizations that they originally intended to destroy on multiple occasions. Even if there is no direct conflict between the two, the interstellar empires that are hostile to Huanmeng among its allies are constantly rising and gradually posing an undeniable threat to it.

Simply put, the other side is used to being arrogant and domineering in a galaxy where god-level civilizations are not prominent. To put it more profoundly, the other side is still bound by the rules of the Dark Forest era and cannot keep up with the development of the times.

However, Laura originally came here simply to get a more direct feel for the current development of the Phantom Moe and experience life there. But after seeing the fleet that brought together the current generation of ship girls, an exciting idea couldn't be contained in Laura's mind.

Unlike the pioneers of ship girl civilizations, the Silent Deep Sea Fleet, the three ship girl civilizations of Ariel and Phantom Moe all had the ability to develop into level 29 civilizations. After the three were united by the Trisolaran universe, this upper limit was further broken.

If Laura doesn't stop it, then a level 30 singularity civilization, which has never existed before, doesn't seem like a dream after all.

After merging the rules and mass of the Three-Body universe, the upper limit of the stars was raised again, and Laura felt that she could open up some forbidden rules on a small scale.

Previously, due to the insufficient mass of the universe, Laura could only indirectly explore richer and more profound rules through endless iterations. But now that the deficiency has been completely remedied, Laura sees hope for opening up parallel worlds.

However, as previously feared, appropriate threshold restrictions are necessary. But with the rules relaxed, level 28 or even 29 singularity civilizations are no longer capable of shouldering such responsibility.

So, why not let Huanmeng, the Silent Fleet, and Elriel shoulder this responsibility?

And all of this may have begun with the joint fleet of the three civilizations during this war.

166. Ship Girl Alliance

The level 30 singularity civilization is like the level cap that is raised after a version update; it represents a new limit for civilizations in the Stellaris universe.

Clearly, the ship girl alliance, composed of the three major civilizations, has become Laura's appointed agent.

As for the group of level 29 singularity civilizations that had undergone previous iterations, they were, after all, god-level civilizations from past iterations. Their era had passed, and now they were merely civilization information recorded by Laura in the Stellar Database, rather than civilizations with truly independent consciousness.

This is why Laura can command these god-level civilizations that aim to pursue truth. In a sense, these level 29 civilizations are already dead, leaving only a projection of the past.

As the beginning of the cycle, the Ship Girl Alliance is undoubtedly fortunate. Lexington and others will be given the power of cosmic agents and will become the sub-universe controllers who integrate plunder, development, and scientific research in the future.

Well, to put it bluntly, he's just working for Laura.

As for whether the ship girl alliance will rebel and overthrow Laura 007's exploitation, Laura is not worried at all.

Aierriel was established by Laura herself. Although it was a laissez-faire civilization, Laura never relinquished control of its government during its development. It can be said to be a civilization entirely belonging to Laura.

After the Starry Sky and the Trisolaran universe merged, Noah was sent to Aierriel by Laura, becoming its supreme leader and further transforming Aierriel into Laura's shape.

Needless to say, the Silent Fleet's entire regime and civilization are built upon the Deep Sea Core, and as the creator of the Deep Sea Core, Laura has also left behind reassuring contingency plans.

As for Phantom, putting aside Laura's certain status within Phantom, the global giant has already penetrated every aspect of the entire civilization over the years, and Lexington simply cannot afford the cost of a falling out.

Moreover, as ship girls, Laura's limit of strength can be seen as the limit of civilization. If Laura is the controller of the universe, then the ship girl alliance is also, so there is no reason for them to be enemies.

As the origin of the ship girl civilization itself, Laura felt at ease having the ship girls jointly manage the entire Stellaris universe.

The war undoubtedly ended in a victory for the Phantom Girls. On the road to discussing the future, Laura also made a rare appearance at the Ship Girls Joint Conference and expressed her thoughts on the comprehensive integration of the three civilizations.

"Since everyone is already familiar with them, Laura will ask here: Currently, the three major ship girl civilizations are considered top-tier civilizations in the entire Milky Way galaxy, but looking at the entire Stellar Universe, there are still a large number of god-level civilizations that are no less powerful than these civilizations."

Speaking of this, Laura couldn't help but think of the god-level civilizations that had fallen from their pedestals due to the sudden change in the rules. Those old god-level civilizations were no less powerful than the ship girl civilization in terms of potential or foundation, and had even gradually adapted to the new rules in the past few years, beginning to embark on the path of god-level civilizations again.

The god-like civilizations in the Milky Way fared the worst, as they were basically all completely destroyed by the cosmic catastrophe.

Of the three present, Noah knows Laura inside and out, while Lexington and Deepsea Yamato, in their interactions with Laura, also regard her as an ancient pioneer of ship girls and are willing to listen to her advice.

"Aieril unconditionally supports Lady Laura's decision!"

Noah immediately stepped forward to pledge his loyalty, so quickly that Lexington and Yamato suspected that the two might have some kind of secret connection.

However, when they thought about the hundreds of giant galaxies in the Aerriel universe, the two seemed to understand something, and their gazes toward Noah gradually became subtle.

Who would have thought? You two, Noah and Aierriel, who were supposed to share joys and sorrows for life, had already found a powerful backer...

I'm so envious.

"Fantasy Stars is willing to support it."

"The Silent Fleet has no objections."

Lexington and Yamato are essentially one family, and they've been secretly pushing for integration for a long time. Now that they have a legitimate opportunity, they naturally won't refuse it.

Moreover, Laura is right. Forming a true alliance of ship girls is indeed a good idea. Compared to the superficial alliance of the four civilizations, the alliance of ship girls is more valuable for promoting civilization.

Among the Four Civilizations Alliance, the Human Alliance and Earth International, and Aierriel and Phantom Moe, ultimately belong to different races and cannot be completely without barriers.

Moreover, even in a powerful civilization like the Ship Girl Alliance, some individuals are willing to take risks for personal gain. To this day, in the shadows of the galactic trade market, ship girls remain the most valuable slaves, bar none.

Although, thanks to the collaboration with the space agency, no ship girl has been captured for more than 24 hours so far, the psychological damage to the ship girls is still very real.

Driven by certain profit-driven individuals, friction between ship girls and humans is increasing, and Lexington has prepared to leave the solar system with Aerriel's cosmos more than once.

Lexington saw this as a golden opportunity.

Moreover, after the three civilizations have fully cooperated and shared their secrets, the level of research on the earliest civilization ark ship left behind by Laura will be greatly improved.

According to Noah's Light's assessment, the current Ship Girl Alliance belongs to the sixth-tier civilization, and its understanding of the dilapidated Noah fleet in the seventh-tier realm is gradually deepening, unlike the period when they were completely clueless.

The deep-sea core, the civilization ark, and the giant universe of Aierriel—these three combined form a broad and expansive road leading to a god-like civilization.

With an efficiency unimaginable to other civilizations, at the Three Ship Girls Union Conference, the highly cohesive political entity known as the "Ship Girl Union" was established at a speed second only to the surrender of France.

Laura, on the other hand, was completely bewildered when she chose to become the flagship.

Aieriel's microcosm was used as the core of the Ship Girl Union and was eventually dragged to the former Trisolaran civilization's star system, and the Ship Girl Union completely left the solar system.

On the same day, Huanmeng and Aierriel announced their withdrawal from the Four Civilizations Alliance and demanded that Earth International and the Human Federation thoroughly investigate human trafficking.

The People's Union stated that it took this matter very seriously and tried to persuade Huanmeng and Aierriel to stay, but ultimately could not change the outcome.

Thus, the alliance of four civilizations, which had been a model of friendship among galactic civilizations, collapsed, and was replaced by the ship girl alliance and a newly formed alliance with humanity as its theme.

However, while the entire galaxy was shocked, the ship girl alliance, which was the main character, was thrown into chaos due to Laura's disappearance once again.

Oh my god, the flagship has disappeared on his very first day in office!

167. Super Turing Machine, Infinite God Machine

On the first day of the establishment of the ship girl alliance, the flagship disappeared without warning from the heavily guarded home port planet. After the merger of the ship girl civilizations was completed, the home port of Phantom Moe was selected as the home planet. However, even with the technological achievements of the three civilizations, we could not find any trace of Laura.

Ultimately, the task of flagship mission fell to Lexington...

The thought that he had finally managed to break free from the burden of being the flagship, only to be forced to become the acting flagship due to the disappearance of the current flagship, made Lexington feel a wave of malice from the world.

My wife is unhappy today.

While the entire port area was in a state of panic due to the loss of Laura's whereabouts, Laura's own ship had already used its wave engine to jump to an unfamiliar star system.

Although Laura controls the stars, she is not familiar with her own universe when she doesn't use Astra. With random jumps, Laura has no idea what this galaxy holds.

However, despite knowing nothing about her own location, Laura had no intention of asking Astra to access the Star Database. The unknown is part of the fun of exploring the universe.

The dimensional sensor scanned the galaxy, and the information was quickly relayed to Laura. Unsurprisingly, it was barren; this was the norm in the universe.

Situations like Noah's, where he randomly jumps into two civilizations, are ultimately rare.

There is no sign of any intelligent life within a star sector of ten hops or so, nor is there any sign of ancient civilization ruins.

However, after expanding the sensing range to 100 jumps, Laura's expression immediately became quite interesting.

The Gargantua Galaxy is one of the few galaxies Laura can remember in the entire universe.

It wasn't because Laura used this galaxy as a special souvenir storage location, but because the Gargantua galaxy was only recently formed, and its purpose was to simulate a certain special event.

This special event is none other than the human ascension plan that the ascendants are pursuing.

At its core is the Gargantua black hole, from which the galaxy derives its name. Within the Gargantua galaxy, a super-Turing machine known as the Infinite Machine resides quietly.

"Infinite Divine Machine, I never expected to encounter this machine..."

In an instant, she traversed the distance of hundreds of hyperspace journeys and arrived beside the round, spherical machine, unsure of what to say.

My luck doesn't seem too bad, does it?

An infinite machine, also known as a super Turing machine, can perform an infinite number of operations within a finite amount of time in the Malament-Hogarth space.
