Chapter 42
Which Ship to Build?

After leaving the bridge, Sun He wandered around the various departments. During his tour, many female soldiers approached him for photos, some even getting a little handsy.

A couple of times, he almost got dragged to a corner by a couple of enthusiastic female soldiers to discuss the secrets of life, but thankfully, he managed to escape.

With nowhere else to go, Sun He finally returned to his bedroom.

He shed the tight, stylish captain's uniform and lay down on the bed.

"Suddenly realized, there's not much fun to be had on the Qing Yuan," Sun He mused, looking at the ceiling.

Initially, Sun He thought life on a starship would be incredibly exciting.

But after a month or so, he found it incredibly monotonous.

Besides chatting and watching some of the stored movies,

Going to the dining hall for meals was the only interesting thing.

There was simply no other entertainment to be found.

Though the Qing Yuan looked large from the outside, the interior space wasn't that abundant.

Sun He's room was a presidential suite, but most of the female soldiers lived in dormitories less than ten square meters in size, with ten people crammed into each space.

Back in the dorms, they could only lie down on their beds, with no extra room to spare.

"If I had to live like this for a year, three years, I'd probably go crazy," Sun He scratched his head.

But there was no other solution, he couldn't just abscond with all the funds and leave these three thousand girls behind.

"Forget it, there's nothing I can do about it for now."

Sun He gave up thinking about it, as he couldn't come up with a solution for the time being.

He opened the system page.

【Captain: Sun He

Talent: Top-Tier Starship Full-Time Engineer

Reputation Points: 15899

Warehouse: Xionglong Interstellar Fighter Blueprint · Giant Turtle-Class Heavy Industrial Ship Blueprint · Storm-Class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser Blueprint】

It had been about twenty days since he last redeemed a treasure chest, and Sun He's reputation points had risen again to a terrifying fifteen thousand.

Normally, without any events happening, he'd gain around 300 reputation points a day.

During the battle with the Grizzly Fourth Fleet, Sun He directly earned eight to nine thousand reputation points.

"Let's see what I can draw, maybe I'll get something good," Sun He started another round of treasure chest opening.

This time, he could draw fifteen chests in a row.

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Thanks for your patronage, Constitution +1】

The first draw was just the usual thanks for your patronage and Constitution +1.

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Thanks for your patronage, Constitution +1】

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Thanks for your patronage, Constitution +1】

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Thanks for your patronage, Constitution +1】

A black line appeared on Sun He's forehead. What was with this luck today? Was he going to turn into some kind of underwear-wearing superhero?

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Obtained 'Genesis-Class Starship Blueprint'】

Finally, something good, but what was with this weird name, and it didn't even specify what type of starship it was.

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Obtained a Gene Potion】

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Thanks for your patronage, Constitution +1】

【Ding! Treasure Chest Opened, Obtained 'Phoenix-Class Carrier Starship Blueprint'】

All fifteen treasure chests had been opened.

Sun He tallied his haul.

Eight Constitution +1s, five gene potions, and two design blueprints.

Sun He clenched his fist, feeling a sensation entirely different from before. He noticed that his height seemed to have increased, and his chest and abdominal muscles were more defined.

"Feels pretty good, but it'll take some time to get used to this new body," Sun He didn't touch the fragile items this time, instead focusing on getting familiar with his body.

He had injected a gene potion before, and it had some effect, but it wasn't very noticeable.

Back on the M31 satellite, it was thanks to the gene potion and several Constitution boosts that Sun He was able to take down Sun Li in one punch.

However, gene potions couldn't be reused, so the effects of the second potion were minimal on Sun He.

"Now, I could probably break Sun Li's bones with one punch," Sun He clenched his fist, wanting to test out his current fighting abilities.

But first, he needed to understand these two design blueprints.

Sun He first looked at the 'Genesis-Class Starship'. Just from the title, there was no information, he didn't know if it was an interstellar destroyer or an interstellar frigate.

But as he clicked on it, a torrent of data flooded his mind, and he excitedly felt like his eyes were burning with flames.

The Genesis-Class Starship, it wasn't a combat starship.

Instead, it lived up to its name, Genesis!

This was a 'city' or a 'planet' disguised as a starship.

The blueprint detailed every aspect of the Genesis-Class Starship.

It would create a three-story modern city, capable of accommodating ten thousand residents.

And it had its own ecosystem, with forests, rivers, mountains, farmland, and more.

The Genesis-Class Starship could sustain three thousand people solely through its own ecosystem.

Wasn't this essentially a 'planet'?

Build it! I have to build it!

This was Sun He's strongest desire at the moment.

No matter the cost, he would build this Genesis-Class Starship.

Sun He suppressed his inner turmoil and clicked on the other design blueprint, the 'Phoenix-Class Carrier Starship'.

Whoosh

Sun He was stunned once again, a model of a crimson carrier starship appeared in his mind.

It was nearly ten times larger than the current Qing Yuan.

In terms of combat power, it was undoubtedly many times stronger.

"This is a... T3-class carrier starship!" After understanding all the data and specifications of this carrier starship in his mind, he labeled it as a T3-class carrier starship.

This Phoenix-Class carrier starship had a generational performance that shocked Sun He at first glance.

A Genesis-Class Starship! A T3 Phoenix-Class carrier starship!

Sun He found himself in a bit of a dilemma.

Because... he didn't know which one to build first.
