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

"So, Chief Egg, is there anything else?"

40. Noah's Dimension Dock

"That's all. Thank you for your cooperation. S.H.I.E.L.D. will handle the rest themselves."

Without even thinking of correcting Laura's nickname for him, Fury hung up the phone with a dark expression.

Despite having only known each other for a short time, Laura addressed him as if they were old friends. Recalling their first meeting, Fury couldn't help but sigh.

The Laura we know now is far removed from the Laura Fury first imagined.

Although he had achieved his goal in the conversation—he knew the reason for Tony's disappearance and found the mole who leaked the route—Fury still felt a bit angry.

Even over the phone, Fury could sense Laura's attitude. It was basically, "If she made a mistake this time, she'll do it again next time."

However, Fury also knew that this incident couldn't be blamed on Laura and Belfast. Belfast's initial invitation to Obadiah was just a prelude; the real cause of the accident was Obadiah's greed.

As for Belfast's leniency towards Obadiah, Fury simply ignored it. As long as Ariel clearly states she won't interfere in what follows, that will be S.H.I.E.L.D.'s biggest victory.

If this trivial matter worsens Ariel's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., then it would truly be a loss.

Fury rubbed his temples wearily. Although Laura had said before that this Earth tour was just a personal matter, Fury still had to treat their actions as interstellar diplomacy.

As the relevant teams analyzed the Dawn, S.H.I.E.L.D. gained a deeper understanding of Aerriel's technological advancement.

After so much time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s analysis of the surface information of the Dawn mothership remains stagnant, currently stuck on the electric propulsion levitation device.

As for other external armor, such as the micro-planet shield or even the electromagnetic railgun, S.H.I.E.L.D. remains only speculative.

Optical property detection completely failed, and the entire Dawn was like a black hole, receiving no instrument feedback no matter what method was used to probe it.

The function of these devices cannot be discerned simply by observation.

Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. and even the United Nations are taking a very cautious approach to dealing with Aerriel, trying to avoid conflict if possible.

Furthermore, Fury learned from the surveillance agents that Laura seemed to possess a method for long-distance teleportation, though it was unclear whether it was a personal ability or high technology, which made him even more wary.

If this instantaneous teleportation were used in warfare, humanity would be at a complete disadvantage. The fact that they could use this teleportation for daily life shows that Aierriel's technology is far more terrifying than they imagined.

"Hopefully, things won't get out of control."

The sensation from the inside of Fury's trench coat calmed his turbulent emotions. The quantum entanglement transmitter left behind by Captain Marvel was Fury's last trump card...

Um, it seems Aieriel knows about this too.

Suddenly, Fury felt uneasy again.

While Fury was racking his brains over the elusive Aerriel, Laura on the other end focused on the multi-task mode that Noah had unlocked after the completion of the Pacific Rim beginner's trial.

With Noah's explanation, Laura gained a basic understanding of it. The multi-tasking mode, as the name suggests, allows you to start another timeline and perform missions while carrying out the main quest.

The Marvel universe spans more than a decade, but there are only a few landmark events. Even Laura would get tired of being a couch potato if she only stayed home for a few months during a period of peace and tranquility.

At this point, taking a vacation in another world wouldn't be bad. The flow of time differs slightly between different worlds, and Noah will choose the most suitable time for Laura, ensuring she doesn't miss any important phases in the main world.

Coincidentally, after the Iron Man incident was over, Laura had a considerable amount of free time, and she planned to try out this multi-tasking mode once Tony returned.

Compared to the main world where everyone starts from scratch with nothing, in these dungeon worlds, Noah will arrange an identity for Laura in advance, making it easier for her to integrate into the world.

However, this raises a question: what will happen to the Dawn?

Over time, the Dawn spacecraft hovering over the United States has become a source of reassurance for certain high-ranking officials in the know. Any sudden changes might touch a nerve with them.

But when going to other worlds, it's impossible to do without the Dawn, which is Laura's true form.

Moreover, since it was a vacation, Laura naturally wanted to ditch Belfast and go it alone. To be fair, Belfast could be quite stubborn in some ways, which sometimes left Laura feeling helpless.

But if Belfast is left in the main world, Laura won't feel at ease without the Dawn's support.

So Laura decided to recast Belfast's hull and make her the vice-captain of the Dawn.

Laura felt like a genius; she could both replace the Dawn as a communication channel between Aerriel and Earth and have a reason to leave Belfast behind.

[Dimensional Dock: Allows the storage of ship hulls in a special dimension, unaffected by any factors. The efficiency of the revival winds within the dock is increased by 1000%, and it also possesses functions such as recasting auxiliary intelligent motherships...]

[Activation Cost: 10 Civilization Commands]

Although it consumes a lot of civilization commands, commands are meaningless if you don't use them when you need them!

biubiubiu~~~

Civilization Command: 14→4

A tiny star on Noah's Technology Tree was lit up, and at the same time, a peculiar feeling washed over Laura. In Laura's perception, a special dimension seemed to have opened its doors completely to her.

This special space, which Laura just named "Noah's Dimension," seems to be completely outside the Marvel multiverse and is not limited by time and space.

If Laura were willing, the Dawn could instantly enter the Noah dimension.

At the same time, under the Supreme Link, Belfast also sensed that in the Noah Dimension, a continuous stream of void energy was condensing and forming, constructing the "Belfast" that belonged only to her.

However, it is not a historical ship, but a simplified version of a star cruiser based on the Dawn.

After some calculations, the formation speed of the Belfast ship's hull is roughly the same as the speed at which the Wind of Resurgence operates, which should take about a day to complete.

At that time, Belfast will also receive its own exclusive ship equipment. While possessing its own hull and equipment, Belfast will still maintain its status as a subordinate AI, and will be able to share the Aurora's capabilities with Laura's permission.

With that in mind, I can probably go on vacation without worry.

Before that, however, Laura recalled the feeling when her consciousness extended into the Noah Dimension. Because of the existence of the Supreme Link, Laura seemed to be able to catch a glimpse of the main world for a moment when she sensed the Noah Dimension.

Similarly, Belfast, who shared the Supreme Link with Laura, also witnessed that fleeting glimpse of the world's true form.

At that moment, 0 and 1 flashed before Laura and Belfast's eyes.

Is this the binary fundamental universe?

Laura didn't pay much attention, only sighing a few times. But Belfast, out of her maid's etiquette, silently kept this in mind.

Who knows, it might come in handy someday...

I'm starting to dig a hole for fun! Feel free to guess if you're interested.

41. Send a Loresia Mansion

After a few days of being talked about Tony's disappearance, the hype gradually died down.

In this age of entertainment to the death, while Tony may not be forgotten in an instant, it is impossible for someone who is suspected of being dead to continue to occupy the headlines of major daily newspapers.

But today, Tony Stark's name is once again making headlines in various daily newspapers.

Shocking! After being missing for several days, billionaire Tony Stark was found in a desolate desert, ragged and haggard. What happened to him?

A secret you can't miss: A famous man has been spotted deep in the desert, and the US military base is giving him a full escort. Who is he?

You have to watch until the end, you won't believe it! The head of Stark Industries returns to the company, and the first thing he does is eat a cheeseburger...

(P.S.: I feel the flavor isn't strong enough. Is anyone posting a sequel so I can learn from it? Is writing a book or copying popular reviews more interesting?)

After going through a lot of hardship, Tony directly used the Force to create a small-scale controlled nuclear fusion device that the entire Stark Industries research department could not produce, and it was even at room temperature.

Laura, who was watching the nanounits around the clock, couldn't understand Tony's operation at all: taking out the palladium element, pouring it into the cast ring mold, and then building it like Lego bricks.

This is fucking bizarre.

Feeling the controlled nuclear fusion reactor hidden deep within the Dawn ship, continuously releasing tremendous power, Laura suddenly felt that the technology she had acquired with civilization commands was no longer appealing.

Perhaps, this is what it means to be the protagonist of the world.

Can't be bothered.

After clearing away all the messy headlines, Laura looked at Belfast beside her.

Just now, Pepper and Obadiah called Belfast's cell phone. Pepper was informing Belfast to attend the upcoming press conference, while Obadiah was discussing with Belfast how to give Tony a second chance.

Belfast did not say anything about Obadiah's concerns, only vaguely suggesting that they observe for a while.

Tony crawled back from the brink of death, and the ordeal certainly terrified Obadiah. He probably won't take any more action until he learns the truth.

However, Obadiah probably never imagined that Laura had already sold him to S.H.I.E.L.D.

With Belfast's tacit approval, Natasha Romanoff, who had already legally become a secretary at Stark Industries and was originally just investigating the reason for Tony's escape from the jaws of death, now had an additional mission.

That means keeping a close eye on Obadiah, handing over relevant criminal evidence to S.H.I.E.L.D. after finding it, and then acting properly according to Fury's orders.

Now, Laura is almost ready to leave for Tony's impromptu press conference.

With the teleportation activated, he silently appeared in Belfast's deserted office, then swaggered to the back of the room designated for public meetings.

Reporters always have the keenest sense of smell, and when Tony appeared at Stark Tower, they realized the importance of the matter.

Moreover, Tony, who has never cared about Stark Industries' internal affairs, took the initiative to hold a press conference.

The strange details made them realize that something must have happened that was enough to shock the entire United States.

While a group of reporters sat in the audience whispering about the next questions, Tony sat on the stage without any regard for his image, holding a bag of cheeseburgers that Pepper had just delivered.

"It seems you haven't had a good time these past few days while you were missing."

Seeing the faint traces of wounds on Tony's body, Belfast walked over to Tony with a smile. Even though he had been cleaned up beforehand, the disheveled air about Tony beneath his impeccably dressed appearance was still hard to erase.

"If you had come back any later, Stark Tower might have turned into Loresia Tower."

"Indeed, it was an unforgettable experience. I've heard that people who attend the Belfast family dinner will reach the pinnacle of their lives. It seems that I've shattered that myth."

Tony gave a wry smile and took a big bite of his cheeseburger. After several days, the taste of the cheeseburger seemed to transport Tony back to that world of extravagance and decadence.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have eaten more at the table."

However, New York is still New York, but Tony is no longer the same Tony.

"But you should have learned something, shouldn't you?"

Belfast maintained her elegant and graceful demeanor and replied, "At least, you give me a much better impression now than you did before."

"This experience really taught me something..."

Remembering Dr. Ethan, who had worked with him in the cave until the very end and ultimately carried out an AK to buy him time, Tony sighed and decided not to continue the conversation.

"But what's the point of the Loresia Building?"
