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

Thinking about it this way, I realized I now have a handy sacred artifact.

However, the Hammer of the Prodigy also consumes a great deal of energy. When it was taken away from the Iron Fortress, most of the cosmic divine energy of the Hammer of the Prodigy had dissipated after Sai Tianjiao used it multiple times.

This upgrade and enchantment of the Ship-Slaying Blade has further exacerbated the already strained resources of the Prodigy's Hammer. The remaining energy is probably only enough for about seven or eight more relic modifications.

Well, there are still quite a few left, aren't there?

Immediately, Laura set her sights on the Supreme Armor. Due to its size, the Supreme Armor, which was roughly half Laura's size, had always been inconvenient for her to use.

This time, Laura struck while the iron was hot, directly transforming the Supreme Armor into the shape of her own ship equipment.

In fact, the Supreme Armor itself has the function of adapting to the user's needs. This time, Laura just plans to integrate the Supreme Armor into her ship equipment and make the starter lighter and more convenient.

If the Supreme Armor could cover the entire Dawn, Laura would have preferred to have an indestructible armor directly on her own body.

There were no functional changes, and connecting to the Supreme Link was Laura's own business, so this modification did not consume much energy.

A phase shifter was installed on the right wing of the ship's rigging, and the Supreme Armor was mounted on the left propulsion tail. Feeling the two Cybertronian artifacts connected to her mind, Laura seemed to realize something, and her expression suddenly became quite interesting.

It seems that, in some ways, its own ship spirit form is already stronger than the mothership, Dawn.

63. Glorious Celestial Bodies Series

After returning to Marvel from the Transformers universe, the first thing Laura did was run to Belfast's side and enjoy the Belfast meal she hadn't had in months.

Belfast food element plus one, Belfast service element plus one, and finally Belfast element plus one.

Laura remembered her promise to find a new star system for Cybertron. However, to make contact with interstellar society, she needed the corresponding coordinates.

So, Laura decided to get involved in the Thor storyline, piggyback on the Asgardian rainbow bridge, and just randomly pick a planet rich in mineral resources to drop the Cybertronians there.

While waiting in the Transformers universe, Optimus Prime assembled three industrial interstellar ships, which could be developed quickly once a suitable planet was found.

However, the propagation of Cybertron remains a significant issue. To address this, Optimus Prime used the Leader Module as the core of the artifact and the Mjolnir to create a lower-spec version of the Well of AllSpark.

The effects will naturally not be as powerful as the original, but they will still allow the number of Autobots to grow slowly. With sufficient resources, dozens of new life forms can be born every day, and they can complete their growth phase within a month.

From the Ironforge database, Sentinel Prime brought back all of Cybertron's technology from before the Civil War, filling the technological gap created by the war for the Autobots.

Although the knowledge of ancient Cybertron has been lost, it is enough to allow Cybertron to occupy a place in this star system, and even become a new cosmic empire.

"It seems the Second Miss had a pleasant travel experience."

Belfast took a sip of Darjeeling tea and smiled.

"Not good at all. Although it was indeed very rewarding, but..."

Laura lay sprawled on the table, utterly dejected, still feeling down about the Thirteen Heavens. Rui Tianxiao and Wei Tianxing's words had left Laura with a huge mystery, and had dealt a severe blow to her young heart.

It's the kind of condition that won't get better unless you eat pudding.

"Alright, alright, maybe this is also the young lady's arrangement."

While comforting Laura, Belfast placed a plate of strawberry pudding in front of her, casually blaming Noah for the incident.

However, in private, Belfast still remembered Laura's experience.

"Speaking of which, is there anything noteworthy about Belfast's situation?"

Holding a pudding, Laura, who had seemingly revived and fully recharged, suddenly tapped the cup and plate and asked Belfast, "With the difference in the flow rates between the two universes, quite a few things must be happening in Marvel as well."

Upon hearing Laura's question, Belfast recalled the major events of the past two years.

Tony was attacked in Morocco and nearly died on the spot. He and S.H.I.E.L.D. later learned about his palladium poisoning.

Not to be outdone, the military, led by General Ross, staged a Hulk incident in New York, giving everyone a yellow-green wrestling performance on the street.

After the Dawn departed, its own ship suddenly appeared, causing a commotion at the Pentagon. However, since they had communicated with S.H.I.E.L.D. beforehand, no conflict ensued. However, it seems S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't inform the Pentagon in advance, so the two sides often argue about this issue for an entire day.

……

No, we should think about it from a different perspective.

Tony's invention of a new element puts Stark Industries' energy project on the agenda, triggering another surge in stock prices.

Because of General Ross's dereliction of duty, the Hulk and Dr. Banner's case was taken over by S.H.I.E.L.D., and Belfast also received a damage control project from S.H.I.E.L.D., and she cooperated quite well with Fury.

Amidst the ongoing friction between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Pentagon, Ariel once again made a splash at the UN high level, with Belfast being invited to explain and mediate between the two sides, thus reaffirming Ariel's lawful stance.

Despite what happened, Belfast always managed to gain some benefit.

Thinking of this, Belfast shook her head.

"No, everything went smoothly, there's nothing special to mention."

Is that so?

Laura was a little disappointed, but also too disheartened: "Oh well, it was expected."

Laura chose to skip the major events during the period and go on vacation, indicating she wasn't particularly concerned about them. In contrast, her upcoming trip to Asgard was far more relevant to her.

"Next, let's make proper preparations for welcoming Asgard."

Asgard, the mythical realm that unified the nine realms, held a deep allure for Laura. Moreover, in certain aspects, Asgard possessed something Laura needed.

For example, the Rainbow Bridge has interstellar teleportation capabilities and can also transform into a planet-destroying cannon when necessary.

According to Laura's prediction, the Rainbow Bridge should be located at the fourth or fifth level of the Noah's Technology Tree. With the current energy output, the Dawn can only complete technologies that are two levels above the ship's level.

The Dawn currently uses the standard armored hull of the Glowing Standard type, but just in case, Laura still plans to upgrade her hull to a higher level.

As mentioned before, the Civilization Commands required to upgrade technologies of the same series will be greatly reduced based on the existing foundation. If Laura is willing, she can now spend a little Civilization Command to upgrade the next stage of the Moonlit-class Tier 3 ship.

However, as she learned more about Noah's tech tree, Laura realized that this upgrade simply raised the ship's hull to Tier 3, which was not the best option.

Thinking of this, the reminder Noah once gave to Laura echoed in her ears.

"The Glorious Star series armor is divided into three stages: Glimmer, Lunar, and Blazing Sun. However, the technological armor of these three stages can span three ship classes."

"In fact, the Glorious Star series has armor with various characteristics. If it is only the initial blank armor, then it can only be at the lowest level. For example, the earliest hull of the Dawn was the initial hull of the Microlight class."

"The initial, standard, and special types of ship hulls naturally correspond to different strengths. For example, among the nine tiers of ship hulls currently available in the Noah Technology Tree, the Blazing Sun-class special armor can be listed as the highest tier nine, while the initial type is only tier seven."

"After reaching the standard ship hull, it is indeed possible to directly exchange for the initial ship hull of the next level, but if you want to continue to upgrade, you must consume the corresponding civilization command to dismantle the ship hull and fill the gap."

In other words, unless there are special circumstances, it's best to load the ship hull in the correct order. Otherwise, it will inevitably consume more civilization commands during future upgrades.

Moreover, during his conversation with himself, Noah subtly revealed a piece of information: the feeling of removing the armor was not a pleasant experience.

This time, Laura is going to illuminate the special hull of the ship with its micro-light armor.

A glimmer of light, like the shining morning star!

64. Glimmering Light, Shining Morning Star

The Glimmering Morning Star is the most typical single-hull design among the Glimmering Stars.

Just as Laura had thought, even ship girls have different paths to development. At the crossroads between the Glimmer-class and the distant future, Noah Technology offers Laura a variety of options.

For example, the Light of the Extreme Sharpness, which focuses on attack, abandons most of the defensive modules and can have the standard star-destroying weapons of the fourth and even fifth tiers when it is a third-tier Light of the Extreme hull.

Alternatively, the microcosmic star, which focuses on self-defense, transforms its hull into a star. Although it loses the possibility of carrying various weapons, it possesses a defense capable of resisting basic planet-destroying weapons. Furthermore, as a planetary ship, a simple collision can cause considerable damage.

Laura even saw some more unusual branches.

A swarm-simulating army fortress, a starship that pushes interstellar carriers to their limits, and even the Allahu Akbar, which disregards losses...

Shining Morning Star, on the other hand, is the culmination of the Multi-Barreled God Cult's work on the luminous hull. By concentrating individual power into one, Laura can transform into a blade capable of piercing through anything, no matter the situation.

It is said that the name Shining Morning Star comes from the fact that when the Dawn launched its attack, each gun barrel emitted a sufficiently bright light under full firepower.

It can be said that Shining Morning Star was born for the purpose of charging forward.

【Glimmering Morning Star: A special branch option for Tier 3 ship types, with the main development direction being individual power】

[Activation Cost: 3 Civilization Commands]

PS: Advancing to Tier 3 will automatically unlock the mothership interstellar branch.

Well, after this round, Laura was completely drained, and all her civilization commands were useless.

Number of civilization commands remaining: 0

However, Laura wasn't too worried. Having obtained the Hammer of Heaven, she could simply use Optimus Prime as a power-up stone if needed.

The Hammer of the Prodigy contains all the technology of ancient Cybertron, but due to special reasons, Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime are unable to extract it. They can only use the Hammer of the Prodigy to create finished technologies and reverse engineer them.

Prior to this, Laura also had Optimus Prime upgrade the anti-gravity assist device on the Dawn, completely replacing the electric propulsion system.

The most significant feature of electric propulsion is its use of Newton's third law, also known as reaction force. When you see a spacecraft emitting different colored exhaust plumes during navigation and takeoff/landing, don't hesitate to say that it is definitely not using an anti-gravity system.

Looking at the entire Marvel Universe, anti-gravity devices, or even the unified law of the four fundamental forces, are most likely not yet a reality. Even the flagship of the main fleet of a cosmic empire still uses propulsion technology as the power source for its spaceships.

In other words, the Marvel Cinematic Universe highlighted the technology of teleportation, but not the Grand Unification Theorem.

Yes, it's just as good as Cybertron next door.

As the cutscene for the upgrade ended, Laura stretched her body and quickly adapted to her new ship equipment.

Overall, there aren't many changes, except that the ship boots that used to shoot small flames have been replaced by anti-gravity ship boots, which makes the visual impact feel much less impactful.

and……

"Ugh!"

Laura sighed, a hint of regret in her heart: "It's a pity that Laura's ship equipment doesn't have a skirt, otherwise I could see what an anti-gravity skirt feels like."

Thinking about her ship equipment, Laura's feelings suddenly became complicated. The common perception that ship girls have higher defense the less they wear doesn't apply to her at all.

Although it's nice that I won't be seen naked, I still feel a bit uncomfortable inside, and it just doesn't feel the same.

"Second Miss, the news is confirmed. Mjolnir has been found in New Mexico. Should we depart now?"

Belfast's voice interrupted Laura's musings, clearing her head of all sorts of strange thoughts, and Laura came back to her senses.

"Hey, has it been confirmed?"

Laura's spirits lifted immediately, but she was indeed somewhat hesitant.

Thor, who had just been exiled to Earth, still retained some of Asgardian arrogance.
