The Game Church also had a floating battleship.
To be precise, they had a single battleship that was like their lifeblood.
For this ship, Rorschach and the others had worked hard for many years. They had even caused so much trouble in Cape Town back then. Even the establishment of Vila Nova Dônia had started because the Game Church wanted this ship.
With their own ship, the Church of Game could finally leave their initial base of operations in the divine kingdom. It was possible for them to open up new territories.
In fact, without this ship, it was unlikely that they would have been able to move Lori's divine kingdom and divine body back then.
This was just like opening up a new continent during the Old Era. Without a ship, there was basically nothing to talk about. This ship was not only a means of transportation for a long time but also a mobile base, a fortress during wartime, and a means of transportation for the entire family when necessary.
If they could fight, they would fight. If they could not, they would run. Many New Gods had to wander for a long time. During this difficult time, the mothership was not only a home but also a mobile church with all their belongings.
Rorschach had a very bad habit. He liked to think the worst of everything. Lori, who had suffered before, was even worse when it came to paranoia.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he and the Game Church had high hopes for this ship. It was also because of this that the blueprints and construction of the ship were repeatedly delayed.
Back then, if they had not set their sights too high, they could have just gotten a second-hand ship for transportation. It would have been able to satisfy their needs for a short time.
The reason why they needed a high-quality spaceport and various parts that they had stored for several years was to have a mothership that could sail and fight for a long time. When necessary, they could pack all their belongings. As the resources on hand increased, the requirements for actual combat, and the imaginary enemies continued to increase. The design data for this ship had been torn up countless times.
Mothership? Battleship? Mobile fortress? Lifeboat? After repeated revisions, perhaps even Rorschach and Lori themselves did not know what this ship was designed for.
Originally, this was just to create a special-class main ship, which was the average standard of a medium to large-sized church. After all, the Game Church's hardware was still lacking.
Military battleship technology wasn't for sale on the market. What the Game Church could get their hands on was the wood spirit's military technology that was fifty years behind (still considered advanced technology in this wasteland) … Although this technology wasn't outdated, it wasn't suitable for this wasteland.
Most of the wood spirits' battleships were made of wood. And, in this wasteland where half of the year was the season of thunder … it was impossible to successfully grow all sorts of magical plants. Only the wood spirits' spectacular forest cities would be capable of producing such gigantic trees.
Since technology was the priority, it was expected that it would be a large functional ship with transportation capabilities as the priority. Later on, it would be added to the design of combat capabilities. This was because the Game Church was developing too well, and the enemies were constantly upgrading. A certain level of self-defense was necessary.
However, due to a small accident, the speed of the ship's completion was greatly reduced, and the design concept was completely changed.
The spaceport, Mount Sainte's spaceport, was the spaceport of this battleship.
The entire Mount Sainte faction had also joined Vila Nova Dônia. The core of the faction had even become a part of the Game Church.
Therefore, the builders of this port had spent a lot of effort on this mothership. But even so, it was still just a slightly better battleship.
Another accident happened … The faction of Mount Sainte was forced to give up the lower half of Mount Sainte.
Yes, it was only the lower half of the mountain. The reason why the Sacred Mountain got its name back then was because its peak was too high. It was high above the thunderclouds and was able to shelter the West Mo people who had nowhere to run from the violent lightning strikes.
With Titan's familiar lightning domain, the thunderclouds engulfed the area where Mount Sainte was located. However, the spaceport and the mountain peak were still above the thunderclouds.
The spaceport could still be used. Instead, it became the best transit platform and supply base to enter the no man's land of the thunderclouds. The number of times the ship took off and landed, resupplied, and repaired increased by dozens of times. However, the area below the mountain peak had to be abandoned.
At that time, the Game Church's mothership had yet to be completed. This was supposed to delay the completion of the project. After all, all the parts couldn't be transported by land in the future. However, a small secret once again led to a series of unexpected developments.
Perhaps no one remembered that small secret anymore. It was the reason why Rorschach was hunted down by the guardians of Mount Sainte. He undoubtedly discovered the biggest secret of the Mount Sainte faction — the entire Mount Sainte was a huge natural thunderstone mine. One could even treat the entire Mount Sainte as a giant thunderstone mine.
After losing Mount Sainte, the Mount Sainte faction had been assimilated by the Game Church. This "legacy" naturally became an ownerless object.
Therefore, there was the current grand occasion. There was a super battleship that exceeded the theoretical value of the blueprint by more than forty times … Simply, the construction materials were too excessive.
