Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 31 Dragon?

Ouyang Nian scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

"Everything else can wait. First, explain your tail and horns to me clearly."

Lorraine shifted her gaze from Ouyang Nian's face to the stiff tail behind her.

"Do you know that we demi-humans are divided into regular demi-humans and ancestors?"

"Hmm? A demi-human?"

Lorraine repeated the term she was hearing for the first time.

[Commander, demi-humans are humans who possess certain animalistic characteristics and corresponding biological habits.]

"Don't tell me you're actually a dragon."

Lorraine stared at Ouyang Nian in shock. Although she had somewhat anticipated it, she was still stunned when she learned the truth.

"So it's true that what you said before, that your blood could improve my physical condition?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Seeing the puzzled look on Luo Lin's face, Ouyang Nian explained.

You should still remember that I was a craftsman.

"Yes, but you give me the impression of being more of a mechanic."

Lorraine was unsure how this had anything to do with the issue they were discussing.

"Craftsmanship is a profession that comes from my bloodline. This profession keeps me in a state of high body temperature all year round."

At this point, Ouyang Nian felt a little embarrassed.

"If you drink it directly, you'll get burned, and then you'll starve to death because you can't eat anything."

"So, you weren't joking about yourself back then. You were testing me."

Ouyang Nian nodded. "On the one hand, the contact time was relatively short, so there was bound to be some wariness. Plus, the situation at the time was quite appropriate, so..."

"So you just blurted it out."

Lorraine squinted at Ouyang Nian.

"But if you absolutely must use it, I have an older sister who's skilled in both medicine and agriculture who can help!"

Ouyang Nian hurriedly offered a solution.

"puff!"

Lorraine, who was drinking water, almost sprayed Ouyang Nian's face.

"Cough cough cough"

Ouyang Nian quickly stepped forward to help Luo Lin catch her breath.

"Sister, have you ever considered this?"

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Nian looked confused, not knowing what Luo Lin was talking about.

"It's just the two of us on the ship now. Do you think I wouldn't have feelings for a woman as capable and beautiful as you?"

"Weren't you very careful when we had physical contact before?"

Ouyang Nian curled his lip.

"I've only just entered the apocalypse, are you completely brainless?!"

In a fit of rage, Lorraine punched Ouyang Nian on the head.

"I might as well just beat you to death. Anyway, I can't stand drinking my girlfriend's blood."

Ouyang Nian, who was being hammered and running around wildly, chuckled to himself.

"Honestly, why are you being so subtle? You weren't like this when you were staring at me before."

"You! Isn't this little wrecked boat barely able to defend itself?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Lorraine stood still and revealed her own ideas.

"You mean, a 12.7mm machine gun and a 30mm autocannon aren't enough for you to sweep through this level zero area?"

"This isn't even a first-class ship, let alone a main gun, rocket launcher, or close-in weapon system. How am I supposed to push it around?"

When it came to his own strength, Lorraine instantly became confident and self-assured.

"We'll have to wait until the first-tier ships have complete weapon systems and agricultural output."

Ouyang Nian found it somewhat amusing to see Luo Lin's extremely confident demeanor as she talked about her future plans.

"Aren't you confident? So why are you so timid and hesitant?"

Ouyang Nian reached out and patted Lorraine.

"Don't always look like you're worried about gains and losses, or hesitant and indecisive. If you want to survive in the apocalypse, you have to learn to fight for your life."

"Today's decision was excellent. It was just that the last step was a bit greedy."

"Okay, by the way, what was your profession that you mentioned earlier?"

Just as Lorraine was about to end the conversation, he suddenly remembered that he had one more question to ask.

The concept of "professionals" was initially realized through the joint development of nanorobots by various governments.

[By injecting a special type of nanorobot into the body, a person's profession can be activated, and after meeting certain conditions, they can change professions or advance in rank.]

Upon hearing the information from the ship's AI, Lorraine looked at Ouyang Nian in astonishment.

"Are you aware of this?"

At this moment, Ouyang Nian's face was also full of astonishment.

"However, when we first got our professional licenses, we were indeed injected with a silvery liquid."

"However, I heard a rumor before that what we were injected with was just the most basic activating solution. There are also more advanced products that can target and enhance a specific aspect."

Targeted reinforcement techniques are typically used for specific groups, such as military commanders, leaders, and scientists.

This group of people often has extremely high requirements for a certain attribute.

"This thing is definitely not ordinary artificial intelligence."

Ouyang Nian was very certain about this.

"This intelligence seems to be used to assist higher-level decision-making or command."

Based on his own experience, Lorraine added a sentence.

"Furthermore, after the Tengu and the Diting established a connection with the ship's AI, they became even smarter."

"I don't know the principle behind this. But it's definitely not something that can be distributed to ordinary people."

Ouyang Nian stared at Luo Lin and asked a question.

"Is this the first thing you see?"

"I guarantee this is the first item I'll see when I open my eyes in this apocalypse."

At this point, Lorraine seemed a little confused.

"Although the first thing I saw when I woke up was the core of this ship, I woke up lying on a steel plate."

When the topic of shipborne intelligence and core technologies came up, Lorraine had some questions, so she decided to share them with Ouyang Nian, hoping to find some unexpected insights.

"Speaking of which, with ship cores that can be upgraded indefinitely, how did this world become an apocalypse?"

"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

Ouyang Nian reached out and touched Lorraine's forehead.

"Stop fooling around, we're talking serious stuff."

"Putting aside the ship's class for now, is it possible that this core is just a main control computer that connects the entire ship, while the ship's intelligence is a software that can control the entire ship through the main control computer?"

"It seems so."

Lorraine was taken aback, scratched her head, and looked a little embarrassed.

"The second thing is that I don't know about ship levels and I don't intend to know. Think more before you speak next time. You can't just blurt things out."

Looking at Lorraine, who was still speaking without thinking, Ouyang Nian decided to say a few more words.

"I'm glad you trust me, but never reveal this crucial information to anyone under any circumstances."

Lorraine said she understood and would definitely do as instructed.

However, seeing Ouyang Nian's serious expression, Luo Lin suddenly had some mischievous thoughts.

"Even after we've officially started dating, you can't just leave?"

These words immediately made Ouyang Nian blush. However, seeing the slyness in Luo Lin's eyes, Ouyang Nian decided to retort.

"So what should you call me now?"
