Chapter 145

Time to s.h.i.+ne

Lucas finished installing the controllers onto the s.h.i.+ps that the AI had asked for. Afterwards he went back to monitoring his devices. Chu Shen received the leftover 5 G’Tik cores.

Upon receiving them he discovered they were the cores of a Martial Warrior or Rank 5 Beast Core. To the Martial Army or Rank 6 Chu Shen, they were practically worthless. Nonetheless he absorbed their energy and moved on.

Lucas tallied up the total number of s.h.i.+ps he was making every eight hours and the totals were stunning to see. Every eight hours he would make 3 Battles.h.i.+ps, 2 Carriers, 9 Destroyers, 40 Sniper Drones, 20 s.h.i.+eld Drones, and 30 Fighters.

With this, one could easily see that Lucas was making more than enough machines to keep the enemy at bay. There was still another six days before the enemy came back. With that much time, Lucas would be able to expand his fleet by over a hundred fold. No longer contemplating his genius though, Lucas returned to his work.

Six days later, the enemy fleet appeared. This time it was three fleets. The s.h.i.+p totals was 3 carriers, 600 fighters, 30 battles.h.i.+ps, 120 destroyers, and 60 cruisers.

Lucas’ total of s.h.i.+ps he had constructed was now at  63 Battles.h.i.+ps, 42 Carriers, 189 Destroyers, 840 Sniper Drones, 420 s.h.i.+eld Drones, and 630 Fighters. From this, one could easily surmise that the enemy would easily be crushed by Lucas. Unfortunately, this would not happen. All because of one tiny little detail.

“WHAT!” Chu Shen winced and rubbed his ears. Lucas’ shout was really too loud, especially when he was right next to him. Lucas pointed at the scout drone. “Repeat that again you pile of junk!”

The scout drone, taking Lucas literally, dutifully reported its news. “Unfortunately you and your privateers cannot be allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the upcoming fight.”

“Why not! We are perfectly capable of helping and more than willing too!” Lucas was becoming more and more irate the longer time went on. First he was kicked out of the privateers, now he couldn’t even fight! Just what was the point in staying on this planet then!

“Logic dictates that you should not partic.i.p.ate in the upcoming battles until it is absolutely necessary.”

Lucas scoffed. “Exactly what logic is that!”

“Your s.h.i.+ps are equipped with advanced technology so far unseen by the invaders. By not allowing your partic.i.p.ation in the fight, your advanced technology will not be revealed. Only until is absolutely necessary must your s.h.i.+ps’ be used so as to prevent our technological edge from being revealed. Such logic is dictated by naval strategies currently available to me.”
