The next day …
Han Xiao arrived at the shipyard early in the morning and prepared to build the spaceship components that the corporation had given him.
In order to keep it a secret, the blueprint of the spaceship would be split into various components for different Senior Engineers to build. The core components would be handled by the people under the corporation, and an external engineer like him would not be involved in such a large order.
However, the Cornerstone Summit Corporation had considered the time limit and the fact that he was Grade B +, so they could not wait to pull him into the plan. However, the blueprint of the core components would not be given to him.
The three components that Han Xiao was in charge of had high technical requirements but were not crucial. As they were custom-made, the corporation did not have the corresponding production line, so the Senior Engineers came in handy.
He originally did not plan to steal the blueprint, but if it was a Star Cluster flagship … cough, how could a Mechanic's matter be considered stealing?
He planned to use the Virtual Technology to let Philip infiltrate the database of the Cornerstone Summit Corporation and steal the basic framework of the Star Cluster flagship. The Virtual Security Engineer hired by the Cornerstone Summit Corporation was like a little brother to him. How infuriating would it be if he could sneak into someone else's house like a thief and not be discovered?
Most of the blueprints of the key components were stored in paper form. Although this method was primitive, it would never be outdated. After all, Virtual Mechanics were the missionaries of universal love and were notorious. No one would want their database to be spoiled by others every day.
The Cornerstone Summit Corporation was in a rush, and his manufacturing speed was his advantage. As long as he completed the targets in his hands quickly, the corporation would give him more blueprints for him to manufacture. At the same time, he would also accumulate the progress of his talent mission.
As long as he found a way to steal the remaining secret blueprints, he would be able to complete the blueprint of the Star Cluster flagship.
When Han Xiao arrived at the work area of the Senior Engineers, he saw Luke immediately and greeted him.
"Bain, why are you here?" Luke was a little surprised.
"Why do you look so surprised?" Han Xiao raised his brows.
"I thought that you would spend the entire day learning the blueprints … If you want to take a tour, I'll get someone else to bring you around. The schedule is a little tight, and I might not have time to do anything else."
Luke thought that Han Xiao was still familiarizing himself with the future work environment.
Han Xiao shook his head. "You misunderstood. I'm here to start work today."
Hearing this, Luke's eyes widened.
"You learned the blueprints I gave you in one night?"
This efficiency was too high.
He was in disbelief. These advanced spaceship components were extremely complicated, and he had spent three days to master them. In his opinion, Han Xiao would need at least one or two days to master them, but this new colleague had mastered them in one night?!
"If there's nothing else, I'm going back to work." Han Xiao saw Luke staring at him in a daze, so he reminded him.
Luke came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you anymore."
Han Xiao nodded and swiped his card to enter the workshop.
It was only when Han Xiao's back was blocked by the door of the private workshop that Luke retracted his gaze. He was secretly speechless … This new colleague named Barne was even more amazing than he had imagined.
…
A Senior Engineer could use the Cornerstone Summit Corporation's high-end private workshop. Although it was not as luxurious as Han Xiao's private workshop in the Black Star Corps headquarters, it was still very expensive.
After closing the door, Han Xiao was the only one left in the workshop. He sized up the workshop and nodded.
"They gave me half a month's time, and I should be able to complete it in half a day … Hmm, this seems a little too exaggerated. Let's slow down and drag it out to three days."
Clack!
Han Xiao popped out a series of compressed orbs and formed all sorts of assistant robots. These were all mechanical products that he had personally created and modified. They were the exclusive equipment for peak Grade A + Mechanics and were extremely powerful. They were all private equipment that could not be bought on the market.
Buzz!
Mechanical Force flowed out from his hands, and bright electric arcs connected to the machines. All the assistants started to move, and they used all sorts of equipment to process the materials.
The huge Experience Pool gave him the confidence to ignore the Soul Embryo. While he was creating, he used the [Quantum Matrix Thought Field] to connect to the Cornerstone Summit Corporation's network and infiltrate the shipyard's database.
Han Xiao's Virtual Technology technology could easily deal with the artificial intelligence of a normal shipyard. He easily hid his traces and bypassed the firewall and warning mechanism of the database. He allowed Philip to enter the database and copy the information.
"Let me take a look at what good stuff you have." Han Xiaoxin was overjoyed.
Countless information appeared in his mind, and all the orders of the Cornerstone Summit Corporation were displayed in his mind. After sifting through a large amount of redundant information, Han Xiao found some valuable information.
The database would not store spaceship blueprints that were too valuable. Normally, there would be a warehouse specially built to store the blueprints. However, the 2D map of the shipyard did not indicate where the warehouse was, so Han Xiao did not know where it was.
The blueprints stored in the database were all relatively ordinary spaceship blueprints, and Han Xiao did not reject any of them. He learned everything he could. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Furthermore, he had the talent [Research Theory], which gave him one Intelligence point for every three skills. The more blueprints he had, the better.
After searching for a while, Han Xiao finally found the information he wanted. It was the Cornerstone Summit Corporation's current large order.
"Eternal Light Fortress Battleship?" Han Xiao was stunned.
This flagship model was too famous. It was not the product of any Star Cluster civilization in the Shattered Star Ring but one of the flagship models of the Radiant Federation!
Although Eternal Light was not the trump card flagship of a Universal Civilization, it was one of the main battleships of the Radiant Federation fleet. Its strength was comparable to the flagship of a Star Cluster civilization, and it was even slightly stronger in terms of energy. Furthermore, the cost of manufacturing it was much lower. It was one of the flagship models of the Radiant Federation that had the lowest technical requirements.
The blueprints of the battleships of the Radiant Federation were priceless on the black market, and an ordinary shipyard in the Shattered Star Ring was actually building a high-level flagship of a Universal Civilization.
There seems to be something fishy behind this.
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he could not help but imagine.
The Radiant Federation secretly hired a local shipyard in the Shattered Star Ring to build a battleship because they want to station troops in this Star Field. Could it be that they are planning something big? If that's the case, the Cornerstone Summit Corporation is definitely not the only shipyard building the Radiant Federation battleship.
Hmm, that's not right. The Radiant Federation has their own secret military factory in the Shattered Star Ring, so there's no need for them to outsource their business. Furthermore, their goal in the Shattered Star Ring is to fight with the Red Empire. Could it be that the negotiation was just a pretense and they want to take over the Flickering World by force?
That doesn't seem like it. Furthermore, there was no such storyline in the past. If the Radiant Federation really wanted to do that, they would have sent an army over a long time ago.
After thinking for a while, Han Xiao had a more reliable guess.
This matter should have nothing to do with the Radiant Federation. Someone might have obtained the blueprint of Eternal Light from some channel and then ordered the Cornerstone Summit Corporation to build it for them.
If that was the case, this huge customer was either someone close to the Cornerstone Summit Corporation or someone they could not afford to offend. Otherwise, they would not have casually provided such a valuable blueprint to an outsider.
This means that stealing the blueprint might be more difficult than I thought. I might even offend some powerful organizations …
Han Xiao's brows furrowed slightly before relaxing.
I'm now 'Bain', not 'Black Star'. What does Bain stealing the blueprint have to do with me, Black Star?
I'll just steal it.
The blueprint of the Eternal Light Fortress was stored in the database. The framework referred to the structure of the ship and the exterior armor. Just like the shell of a carrier, it was equivalent to the skeleton and skin of the spaceship. Because the framework of such a large flagship would usually be built in outer space, the difficulty of the project was relatively high. Thus, the blueprint had to be stored in the database.
The components of the spaceship were the core, such as the energy furnace, shield generator, hyperdrive engine, and so on. These components were the organs of the spaceship and were more important than the framework.
You have received [Battleship Blueprint Eternal Light (Incomplete)]!
It's fine if it's incomplete. I'll try my best to steal the complete blueprint … Han Xiaoxin chuckled.
…
For the next ten days, Han Xiao stayed in the shipyard and focused on building the spaceship components. The progress of his [Engineer] mission increased steadily.
He completed the first batch of targets in three days, which shocked the upper echelons of the corporation.
After checking that there were no problems with the quality of the components, the upper echelons felt that they had recruited a treasure. They gave Han Xiao a few more blueprints for him to build, and he completed them in less than two days.
The upper echelons of the corporation handed Han Xiao more blueprints, and they were all completed quickly. However, the upper echelons were in a dilemma. Han Xiao's efficiency had exceeded their expectations, and it had created trouble for them. If this carried on, this new 'Bain' would know more blueprints, and it would not be in line with the original intention of splitting the spaceship blueprints to share the risk.
Just as the upper echelons were in a dilemma, the boss of the corporation came to inspect.
…
In the meeting room, Sardeem flipped through the most recent report of the Cornerstone Summit Corporation. He glanced at the upper echelons of the corporation and said calmly, "I'm very disappointed.
"I'm a little disappointed in your efficiency. Why hasn't Eternal Light been created yet?"
"Your Excellency Sardeem, this is the flagship model of a Universal Civilization. With our technology reserves, we really can't build a high-level flagship quickly. Furthermore, the engineers in the corporation are only Grade B + at most. The production rate of those high-level components is too low …"
"Oh?" Sardeem narrowed his eyes. "I suspect that you're putting your focus on the sales of the shipyard and only want to complete the orders from the outside world. You don't want to work for me for free?"
"You — you're mistaken. We don't have such thoughts!" The upper echelons' expressions changed, and they hurriedly explained.
Although they were the upper echelons of the corporation, Sardeem was the boss. The Cornerstone Summit Corporation was under Sardeem's name. Apart from accepting orders from the outside world, their other responsibility was to produce machines for him. All production resources had to be put into the manufacturing missions given by Sardeem first.
If Sardeem was the king of Planet Macipher, then the Cornerstone Summit Corporation was a state-owned enterprise. As long as Sardeem wanted to, he could take back the authority of these upper echelons.
Building the Eternal Light spaceship was the mission target that Sardeem had given to the Cornerstone Summit Corporation. This blueprint belonged to him.
"Don't forget whose subordinates you are," Sardeem said. "I'll give you four more months. If you still can't complete Eternal Light …" Sardeem said calmly.
The upper echelons hurriedly expressed their loyalty. "Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to build it."
Sardeem nodded. After looking at the report for a while, he suddenly asked, "Did you guys hire a new Senior Engineer recently?"
"Yes, his name is Bain."
Sardeem pointed at the data on the report. "Even if he's Grade B +, it's rare for him to be so efficient. Hmm … there are two possibilities. He might have outstanding Mechanic talent and the potential to become a Calamity Grade, or … he's hiding his strength for some reason."
The upper echelons were shocked. "Then, what should we do?"
"You don't have to worry about this."
Sardeem waved his hands and revealed an interested expression.
"If he's the former, I'm interested in taking in a disciple with good potential. If he's the latter, it might be even better."
The upper echelons exchanged looks.
"Then, how should we arrange his work? Should we let him continue to participate in the construction of the Eternal Light? With his efficiency, he'll learn the blueprints of a large number of components …"
Sardeem's lips curled up. "We only need to protect the blueprints of the core components. Don't worry about leaking the rest."
"Alright." The upper echelons did not dare refute.
Sardeem stood up and said, "Let's observe him for a while. I'll find a time to interact with him. I feel that he'll be an interesting fellow."
…
The galaxy was vast, and the universe was boundless.
The Shattered Star Ring was at the edge of the explored universe. This Star Field was divided into more than ten Star Clusters, and there were thousands of Star Systems.
Among these Star Systems, the Eternal Night Star System was the most special one.
That was because this Star System was nurturing the next Star Cluster civilization.
Under the leadership of a great man, their civilization rose at an astonishing speed, and their race evolved in an unbelievable way. This race remembered the glory of their leader and changed their name. Now, they called themselves the Star Pupil God Race.
Sisko was the leader of this civilization.
