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

A figure appeared in the central command room of the Dawn, looking down tenderly at Laura, who was lying unconscious on the metal floor with severely damaged ship equipment.

He bent down, picked Laura up, and whispered in her ear.

"Second Miss, why don't you rest for a while? In the meantime, I'll take care of everything else."

Volume One, Pacific Rim, End.

Tomorrow we'll begin the main Marvel universe, which will be a long story with some smaller universes interspersed throughout. The multi-tasking structure established in the first chapter will be used here.

However, let me preface this by saying that I'm not used to following the plot exactly. While I won't drastically alter it, the story won't completely mirror the movie's development. Of course, there will still be iconic events, like those in the Avengers movies.

So, that's all for now. One last question.

Hey, how many people are still reading? I'll check in and say hi. The lack of comments on this post is making me a little anxious.

Also, I can create a group if needed.

Will the group number be announced when the product is released?

Marvel (26-111)

26. Belfast

Consciousness awoke from the chaos, and the initial drowsy feeling of falling gradually transformed into a hazy clarity. A halo of light appeared in her eyes, and the colors before her slowly became clear. Opening her eyes, Laura tried to recall the three philosophical questions of life.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

I am Olivega Laura Loresia, a ship girl of the Dawn-class civilization mothership. Of course, a more accurate term would be ship spirit, the soul of the ship.

Looking around, Laura realized she was in a cozy bedroom. The ceiling light cast a soft, warm glow. Lying on the Simmons mattress, Laura stared at her pajamas, momentarily lost in thought.

Laura was somewhat confused by her memories before falling into a coma and her current environment.

“I was in close proximity to a nuclear explosion before, so I should have been seriously injured…”

The temporary shield provided was strong enough to withstand a nuclear explosion, but due to insufficient charging time, it could only barely hold up, and the energy it contained was not enough to keep Laura unharmed.

But now...

Looking down at her delicate hands, Laura was certain that her ship's hull wasn't seriously damaged. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was brand new.

With the Supreme Link activated, Laura, whose mental state had largely recovered, sensed her location. As expected, she was still inside the Dawn.

Lifting the covers off herself, Laura sat on the edge of the bed and carefully jumped down. Dressed in her most frequently worn casual clothes from Pacific Rim, and wearing her familiar low-heeled boots, Laura walked towards the door not far away.

However, before she could take more than a few steps, the door in front of Laura opened automatically. Then, a woman dressed as a maid walked out from behind the door carrying a cake and stood in front of Laura.

After a brief moment of surprise, Laura attached herself to her ship equipment and stared warily at the suspicious figure in front of her.

The Dawn belongs to Laura, and theoretically, no one should be on board without her consent. However, the truth is that someone infiltrated the Dawn while Laura was unconscious.

After upgrading the hull, Laura's ship equipment underwent significant changes, but Laura did not focus on these minor details.

All Laura wants to know is what happened to the Dawn during her slumber.

Laura had even prepared for the worst.

Perhaps the Pioneer wormhole was not destroyed, and the Dawn was eventually captured. Under the Pioneer's control, its own hull had already been disassembled and reassembled many times, undergoing inhumane research.

Although she sensed that the Dawn was acting as usual, Laura was still worried that the Pioneer might have some special methods up its sleeve.

Perhaps the Dawn's current safety is merely an illusion. With just one command, Laura could lose control of her ship, ultimately bearing certain marks and involuntarily becoming the first firearm of the Pioneer Civilization.

As Laura unfurled her ship rigging, the maid before her gave her an elegant bow: "Second Miss, it's a pleasure to see you awake. However, if you have any questions, I suggest you ask the Eldest Miss."

"Second Miss, are you talking about me?"

Laura, who was already prepared for battle, was stunned by the maid's words: "And who exactly is the young lady?"

"It is Lord Noah."

The maid placed the cake plate on the bedside table and then nodded: "If you have any further questions, you can recall your civilization's records, which may help you understand all of this."

Laura's expression softened slightly, and after the maid called out Noah's name, her initial hostility towards her vanished. It seemed things weren't as bad as she had imagined.

Lying back in bed, Laura didn't summon Noah. Instead, she accessed the Civilization Records, which contained everything from mission prompts to the history of technology activation. It was like Laura's black box, recording everything about the Dawn.

When Laura set the time to the moment of upgrading to the second-tier ship hull, she looked around carefully.

"Second-tier ship hull upgrade, activation of interstellar prototype ship hull, high-power controllable nuclear fusion, small deuterium-tritium extraction device, quantum computer array, SPACE micro-light armor system, electric propulsion ship engine..."

All in all, there were exactly 16 Tier 1 technologies. Clearly, Noah used all of Laura's civilization commands to upgrade the mothership, incidentally unlocking both land-based and air-based mothership modes in the process.

In Noah's technology tree, some technologies that appear to be linked and ascend can actually be upgraded and unlocked in a distributed manner.

For example, with external armor, if Laura had selected the SPACE Glimmer Armor in advance, then the third-tier Moonlit Armor wouldn't need to be recalculated from scratch; she would only need to supplement the intermediate civilization commands.

It seems that Noah, while Laura was preparing to withstand the nuclear explosion, also pointed out a future development path. Laura, however, didn't seem to have much to say about it.

Noah was the initial AI of the Dawn, and what Laura needed to do was to trust Noah when she should trust him.

In addition, the main mission of the Pacific Rim has been completed. Meanwhile, the Kaiju destroyed by the Dawn at the last moment also provided Laura with a large number of Civilization Commands.

The three civilization commands mentioned in the beginner trial missions, unlocking the multi-line mission mode, randomly matching one mothership technology, and selecting a long-term mission world have all been issued.

Laura now possesses 21 Civilization Commands. Unfortunately, the Kaiju killed by the Horizon Core nuclear explosion wasn't counted towards her command count; otherwise, she might have been able to push her command count into the triple digits.

Meanwhile, in the world of long-term missions, Laura has arrived and found the main quest issued by Noah. Simultaneously, multiple quest lines have been unlocked. Within these long-term mission worlds, Laura can also travel to other worlds to complete missions and earn additional civilization commands.

As for the randomly matched mothership technology, Laura hasn't found it yet. In Laura's perception, there is no such thing as a randomly matched new technology.

"Hey, Noah, are you there?"

Laura still had a few questions in her mind, so she had no choice but to call on Noah: "Please explain why this older sister is on the Dawn, and what about the random technology you mentioned? We haven't found it at all."

"Actually, this is a problem."

Noah poked his head out and then quietly hinted, "The answer is right in front of you."

Suddenly, Laura seemed to understand something. The maid in front of her lifted her skirt slightly and introduced herself to Laura, saying, "I dedicate my life to you, and from this moment on, I will always be by your side."

“Dawn’s auxiliary ship spirit, Belfast, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Commander.”

Here's a little spoiler: the full title of this volume should be 33329987552895340 Marvel Universe.

Well, if someone can convert that string of numbers to binary and compare it to ASCII, they'll know the truth about this scroll. It's simple, but a bit complicated to do.

But I don't think anyone would do something like that.

27. This is Marvel.

"So, in other words, the Dawn suffered severe damage during its trans-Pacific voyage, and I, as its ship spirit, was temporarily rendered unconscious, is that correct?"

Using a silver knife to hold the tiramisu Belfast had brought, Laura roughly understood her situation during her conversation with Noah.

"Yes, although the Dawn completed its self-repair within three months, Miss Noah believes that you need some time to adapt to the newer hull, and proper rest after completing the mission is indeed beneficial to your physical and mental health, so I did not wake you up in advance."

Standing beside Laura, Belfast replied with a smile. As a subordinate ship spirit, Belfast could also borrow the power of the Dawn, so she naturally had the ability to intervene in this small matter.

Laura didn't pay much attention to Belfast's behavior.

Belfast swore allegiance to Laura and Noah, and since Laura and Noah are, in a sense, one, there is no need to worry that Belfast would harm them.

"Mmm, it's delicious." While enjoying Belfast's cooking, Laura pondered the mission in the new world. Staring at the mission panel, Laura had to admit that this mission was quite challenging.

[Main Universe: Marvel Universe (MCU)]

Main Quest: Continue Human Civilization

[Task Difficulty: ★★★]

[Main Quest Reward: 3 Civilization Commands, 1 random Mothership Matching Technology]

[Special Judgment Mission: Based on the degree of impact of the Dawn on civilization interference, a summary calculation will be performed according to the dynamics of civilization development, and a maximum of ten civilization commands can be obtained.]

"Tsk, there aren't even any optional missions this time?"

Compared to the beginner missions in Pacific Rim, the so-called main world is a typical high-risk, low-reward scenario. Although there is a special judgment mission, who knows what the judgment criteria are?

All I can say is that the Pacific Rim truly is a beginner's trial.

Fortunately, the main universe is just the MCU, the so-called movie universe; otherwise, the Dawn, confined to a planet, would have really been unable to withstand it.

"Speaking of which, Belfast, how long have I been asleep?"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Laura tilted her head and looked at the maid beside her. The Dawn was currently in the deep sea and could not receive signals from human society, so she might as well ask the maid who had already awakened.

Given Belfast's meticulous approach, Laura didn't believe she was simply waiting for her to awaken on the Dawn.

“You have been asleep for seven years.” Belfast assisted Laura in restarting the self-check hull, then added, “It is now 2007.”

"Seven years? It feels like I've missed out on so much."

Activating the optical camouflage of the Dawn's micro-light armor, the controlled nuclear fusion reactor unleashed a surge of power, propelling the Dawn above the water in one fell swoop.

A mix of excitement from her first flight and the instinctive prowess of a ship girl, Laura effortlessly activated her airborne mode. With the aid of a micro-controlled anti-gravity balancing system, the Dawn finally came to a stable stop in the stratosphere.

With its carrier-based satellite launched, the Dawn successfully connected to the entire Earth's network, absorbing world events like a sponge to help Laura understand the current world.

"Not really, it's just that the matter of that Hulk is worth paying attention to."

Belfast touched her lips with her index finger, pursed her lips and recalled the past few years, then shook her head.

"Is that so? Then it seems I woke up not too late."

A slight smile appeared on her face, somewhat easing the melancholy of parting with Jefferson. Belfast's arrival was entirely beneficial to Laura. The most significant change was…

At least Laura is no longer alone.

After filtering the online information, Laura couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the information retrieved on the main screen in the command center.

Seven years is enough time for the world's best maid to do a lot, but Laura never expected Belfast to be able to do this much.

“Stark Industries’ third-largest shareholder, Osborn Group’s fifth-largest shareholder, and even wields considerable influence in Hammer Industries and Pym Technologies…”

Looking at Belfast's experiences, which could easily fill an epic biography, and her seemingly endless list of titles, Laura's expression couldn't help but become a little strange:

"Are all the royal maid squad members this amazing?"
