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

[Main World: Stellaris]

Main mission: Advance the development of civilizations in the Milky Way and complete the iterative cycle.

[Task Difficulty: ☆ (This is your universe, you'll be lucky to even get a star)]

Main quest reward: None

[PS: The Light of Noah is all yours now, go ahead and do whatever you want!]

When Noah received the new main quest, he fell into a state of despair.

Back when she was Noah, she worked as a laborer for countless years, diligently completing the main and side quests. Even when she ultimately chose self-destruction, she became the new AI of Noah's Light.

How come the Light of Noah started paying for Laura's things?

Originally, Laura felt somewhat guilty about using Noah as a tool in the Marvel universe, and even asked Noah if he wanted to break away from his identity as an AI, but Noah was so discouraged that he became withdrawn and did not respond.

So, after thinking it over, Laura chose a compromise: to replicate Noah from the Astra database, essentially bringing along a mini Noah.

Then, this arrogant little girl who called herself "Young Lady" appeared next to Laura.

It's confirmed! Laura explained why Belfast was called Miss Noah back then—it turns out it was a remnant from ancient times.

Honestly, Laura never imagined that Noah used to be like this, always calling himself an "organism" whenever they met, a habit that even a sword-wielding sword couldn't change. In the end, she had to use Astra to forcibly synchronize the young lady's language system with the current Noah.

However, the young lady also has her own ship, which is similar to Astra's red spiky ball. According to Astra, in the current iteration of the universe, the fleet that Noah used back then still exists and is used to maintain the balance of the universe.

Because she was worried that the young lady would cause trouble, Laura didn't equip her with a very strong ship, so she could only barely sweep through the current Phantom Starship.

As for the Civilization Ark that made great contributions in the last universe... the one that crashed on the Veneto Plain is it. This can be considered a cheat code that Laura gave to her own civilization, allowing the Phantom Star to go further.

It's unclear what Miss Changchun, who was given the responsibility for this matter, plans to do. When she received the research authorization from Lexington, the look in Changchun's eyes instinctively made Laura feel a little scared.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore."

Shaking her head to forget these trivial matters, Laura followed the directions from the home port to the agency responsible for registering citizens of the Phantom Star Clan.

Of course, due to the special existence of ship girls, under normal circumstances, ship girls can only be manufactured through the port construction device, so the birth and identity registration of ship girls are actually in the same building.

Port Area Construction Zone - Citizen Registration Office!

Having confirmed that Belfast hadn't led her astray, Laura shook her head as she searched for her target, while also recalling Lexington's words from earlier.

"Today, a prototype battleship is being built, and I think you'll have a lot in common to talk about."

The prototype ship represents the limit of individual combat power. With just a little modification, the initial ship equipment and hull of the ship girl can reach the level of an ordinary starship.

In other words, as long as there is a prototype ship as a base, and the same amount of resources are used, Phantom Star can obtain a super warship that exceeds the specifications.

However, the number of prototype ships was too small, and Phantom Starcraft couldn't use them to build a large fleet. But this didn't diminish the status of prototype ships; compared to replica ships, prototype ships were more likely to reach the pinnacle of a particular field.

At previous meetings, Lexington and Changchun, as well as Washington and Rodney, were considered as prototype ships.

However, according to Lexington, Phantom Starcraft has not yet designed a blueprint for a starship, and these battleship prototypes cannot be upgraded at this time.

"So, where exactly is this person?"

After searching around with her head tilted back, Belfast, unable to bear it any longer, reluctantly led Laura to the only ship girl who had registered her identity.

"Lady Laura, the person is right in front of you."

"In front of us?"

Laura blinked belatedly, looking at a ship girl named Veneto who was about the same size as her, and a feeling of finding a kindred spirit filled her heart.

Laura always looked up to Lexington, thinking that battleships were all older women. She never expected that the prototype battleship Lexington mentioned would be Veneto, which was about the same size as her.

However, Veneto's face was full of dissatisfaction, and her red eyes were burning with anger as she shouted at the ship girl in charge of registration.

"I've told you so many times, I'm not a destroyer, I'm a battleship!"

"However, the summary report for the port construction area has not yet been released, and given your size..."

The older sister's gaze finally settled on Veneto's tablet, everything understood without words.

Do you really think I've never seen what a battleship looks like?

"Damn it, the port area was damaged in the previous impact, and the construction records can't be exported at all. How could this happen..."

Clenching her fists, Veneto looked resentful. Otherwise, how could she have ended up being registered as a destroyer?

Although the construction records will be synchronized to the Supreme Ruler Lexington and the System Governor Ella, how could Veneto possibly have the ability to make the busy Lexington and Ella clarify such a trivial matter?

"However, speaking of which, the previous tremors did damage a lot of equipment in the port area. Today, it seems that only a few of you are registering ship girls, right?"

Passing Veneto, the older sister noticed the arrival of Laura and her two companions.

After receiving the information from Laura and looking at the document signed by Lexington, the older sister's expression immediately turned serious. She displayed a completely different attitude from when she had been perfunctory with Veneto before, and completed the identity registration. Finally, she solemnly handed the proof data to Laura.

Although many of the categories were unheard of, since they were Lord Lexington's orders, they must have some important meaning.

The three people's data were projected in front of them, and Belfast and the young lady leaned over together to look at their identification documents. Even Veneto curiously came closer.

Olivega Laura Loresia, Ship Type: Civilization Mothership...

Miss (yes, that's her name), ship type: Ark Battleship...

Little Belfast, ship type: interstellar light cruiser...

Veneto: This... is probably a special type of aircraft carrier, a battleship and a light cruiser.

Looking at the three men, who were about the same size as herself, and then at the destroyer assessment on her data report, a wave of sadness washed over Veneto.

Feeling cold and shivering, when will VV be able to stand up again...?

114. I hope Veneto is alright.

For some reason, Laura suddenly felt a vague malice and resentment emanating from Veneto, threatening to spread throughout the entire home planet and even the Illusionary Starfield.

After sensing it, I realized it was a Cyttorak chaotic magic element that was accidentally added during the creation of the world. Although Laura's original intention was to create a world based primarily on materialism and science, Marvel's magical elements were also appropriately incorporated to ensure diversity.

Well, most of the non-scientific power collectively known as "psychic energy" is stored by Laura and Astra in a special dimension called the Void Realm.

However, given that Veneto was able to trigger his psychic senses so early, if he could achieve full awakening, he would likely become a very powerful psychic.

Well, now it remains to be seen whether VV will actually go down that path.

"Battleship construction costs increased, destroyer construction costs decreased... Is VV really that obsessed with battleships?"

Feeling the strange resonance of psychic energy, Laura looked at Veneto with a peculiar emotion in her eyes.

It seems I once had the same obsession, questioning Noah about my tonnage as a mothership.

Yes, it exists now. However, considering the mothership registration granted to her by Lexington, Laura selectively forgot about that.

Because Veneto only instinctively triggered the Void psychic energy, the resonance did not cause a single reduction to the Phantom Starship Factory, but maintained a constant principle of gains and losses, carrying out a balance defined by the unseen.

The end result is a reduction in the construction costs of destroyers and an increase in the construction costs of battleships.

Oh, right, Phantom Star doesn't have any design blueprints for starships yet, so never mind.

"Before the template for starships is created, VV might become a ruthless destroyer buff machine..."

With a hint of pity, Laura looked at Veneto. Although the Phantom Star Alliance hadn't pursued the path of idealistic psionic technology, it still possessed a thorough understanding of it.

Having detected the psionic boost to the Phantom Starship, Lexington will not let go easily until the battleship research is officially completed.

"Alright, vv, once the dashcam is repaired, it will definitely be corrected."

Saying things she herself didn't believe, Laura patted Veneto on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't call me VV, I'm Veneto, not some VV."

Veneto stood up from the ground with a sullen expression. If she hadn't still had some sense, she really would have wanted to show them her ship equipment.

Look at this 381, is this what your destroyer is equipped with? Seeing her own ship's equipment, Veneto didn't believe that the relevant personnel in the port area would still dare to lie openly.

It couldn't have been assembled incorrectly, could it?

"Okay, no problem."

Laura said she heard and understood, but she wouldn't change, while continuing to pass on the false belief to Veneto that there was still hope for the future.

"According to Lexington, there will be a fleet selection competition soon. I'll go and participate. With the firepower of battleships, others will definitely notice the registration error."

"Moreover, with such advanced technology in Hong Kong, if there are any defects, they can be remedied with existing medical and genetic technologies."

The ship girl exercises and genetic technology were like a ray of light in the darkness, sweeping away the gloom in Veneto's heart.

"That's right, as long as I demonstrate my unparalleled firepower in the exercise, all of this will definitely change!"

Clenching his fists tightly, Veneto felt a surge of fighting spirit.

With the support of the prototype ship and his own rich combat experience, even though his main gun is only 381mm, Veneto is confident that he can easily defeat the main replica ships with a caliber of 400mm or more.

Veneto glared fiercely at the older woman in front of her who had already completed the destroyer registration, her gaze lingering on the enormous source of all evil. A hint of envy flashed in Veneto's eyes before she quickly turned her head away.

The older woman in charge of data entry didn't pay any attention, ignoring the sullen Veneto, and entered the record of "just a destroyer" into Veneto's identity information.

After leaving this heartbreaking place, Veneto was surrounded by Laura and the other two, and they headed towards the vacant port city district to find a place to stay.

New ship girls can find a place to live on their birth planet, but only the most basic housing. If they want a more advanced detached house or even a luxury villa, they will have to work hard for it.

Previously, Lexington had given Laura a signal frequency, saying that any problems she had about life could be resolved through this frequency.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Laura chose a relatively simple four-story house, which was not as nice as the villa she lived in with Belfast in the Marvel world, but it was a completely new experience for her.

Of course, Veneto initially refused when Laura invited him to live with her.

However, upon seeing the much more comfortable and spacious detached villas in the Bihar district dormitory, and the unlimited spending privileges sent by Laura, Veneto swallowed hard and nodded his head admirably.

An endless supply of Darjeeling tea, high-quality sugar cubes, and exquisite bone china teaware—this was an irresistible temptation for Veneto.

However, the thought of living with three little girls who looked similar to her but whose ship class was at least higher than hers made Veneto feel a little sad.

I made myself a pot of black tea to soothe my spirits after a day of setbacks.

There were four bedrooms in total. After the assignment was completed, Belfast instinctively found a set of cleaning supplies and began cleaning the house where they might live for a long time.

The young lady returned to her room, and afterwards, laughter and soft cries could be heard from upstairs from time to time. After Little Belfast cleaned the young lady's room, she realized that the young lady was actually rolling around happily on the bed.

Laura and Veneto remained in the lobby on the first floor, enjoying their tea while connecting to the home port's network and quickly absorbing the rapidly changing new world.
