There is still a significant difference in combat power between nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers and conventional-powered Aircraft Carriers.
Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers, due to using nuclear reactors as their power source, can operate at high speeds continuously and have more powerful propulsion.
They can carry more ammunition and equipment!
Their combat capability is stronger, and their endurance is also greater.
For this world, a regular Aircraft Carrier is already like a "cheat," and bringing out a nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier would completely leave no way out for any Challenger.
However, this was quite a big leap, and Lin Ye wasn't 100% confident.
As a Researcher, Lin Ye had indeed studied a lot of the technology for nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers over the years, but whether it would be recognized by the Genesis System was still unknown.
"Let's just try it; it's just a Sky Curtain simulation anyway, so there's nothing to lose."
Lin Ye began to provide all the relevant technical principles of the nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier to the Genesis Space program.
About a minute later, the prototype of the nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier slowly began to emerge, and the Eagle Country's first nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, the "Nimitz," had already begun construction!
This indicated that it had passed the Sky Curtain's review once again.
The massive, hundreds-of-meters-long behemoth suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and even Lin Ye, in his God's-eye view, couldn't help but feel a bit shocked.
"Very good!"
Lin Ye let out a long sigh of relief.
It seemed that the Sky Curtain's acceptance of technical principles was much higher than he had imagined; as long as the principle was correct, the Sky Curtain could create it.
In that case, Lin Ye was confident he could replicate all sorts of high-precision military equipment from his previous life in the Dungeon!
With the weapon problem solved, the remaining work for the Raging Sea and Surging Waves Dungeon was just a few detailed additions and the refinement of the mechanisms.
In terms of military aspects, if one were to speak of the Raging Sea and Surging Waves at its peak, it should ideally include a complete Sea, Land, and Air Force.
However, Lin Ye temporarily didn't plan to invest too much more energy into the Air Force and Army; this single Navy, led by nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers, would be enough to make this world suffer.
These eleven nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers carried nearly a thousand fighter jets, capable of bombing any corner of Earth Online, making them absolute overlords of the ocean!
The reason why Raging Sea and Surging Waves was terrifying was not just because of its weapons, but more so because of Eagle Country's various hegemonies!
Under the suppression of the Aircraft Carrier fleet, Eagle Country could dump its various products, agricultural goods, and armaments into any country in the world, and establish economic monopolies there.
Eagle Country controlled oil, which meant it could indirectly create an energy monopoly.
At the same time, Eagle Country also controlled the media discourse of this world, which meant it controlled the public opinion of this world, indirectly guiding the universal values of all people!
In fact, this was the true core of the Raging Sea and Surging Waves Dungeon, the foundation that could truly support such a massive Dungeon!
To embody this hegemony in the Dungeon, a more detailed description of the Eagle Country was needed.
This, of course, did not stump Lin Ye; he directly transmitted all the glorious deeds of the Eagle Country from his previous life to the Sky Curtain.
Actually, Lin Ye had no good impression of the Eagle Country in his previous life; the research institute he belonged to had always been in an arms race with the Eagle Country.
But times had changed; in this world, there was no Dragon Country, and no Eagle Country.
The Eagle Country on Earth Online now was merely Lin Ye's personal creation.
Lin Ye continuously transmitted information to the system, and fortunately, the Sky Curtain did not issue any warnings.
This meant all the information was reasonable.
He glanced at the backend of the Genesis Space again.
The simulation and development of Eagle Country's various hegemonies, as well as the construction of all military equipment, would require approximately 5 hours of waiting time.
Lin Ye had nothing to do during this period, so he directly left the Genesis Space.
The virtual world before his eyes shattered like a mosaic, and he returned to reality.
He had unknowingly spent most of the day in the Genesis Space, and Lin Ye felt as if he was about to starve.
He went downstairs and bought a delicious pig's trotters rice to fill his stomach.
In this world, there was only one currency:integral .
People's daily necessities were exchanged using Points.
Those with many Points were naturally the nobles and wealthy people of this world.
It was understood that there were also organizations like banks in this world that could advance Points to Challengers at the bottom, and what those bottom-tier people had to do was dedicate their labor to the rich.
...
A serving of pig's trotters rice only required 0.05 Points to exchange; Lin Ye currently had 130 Points in reserve, so spending one Point to eat for a month was completely not a problem.
An Lv1 Challenger was considered somewhat wealthy in this world.
Lin Ye was eating his rice when a tall woman in camouflage directly sat opposite him.
The woman did not speak immediately.
Instead, she lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Lin Ye observed the woman; she looked to be in her twenties, with neat short hair. Yellow skin, black eyes; she was of the same Great Xia Clan bloodline as him.
Most conspicuously, there was a faint knife scar on her left forehead, which added a touch of boldness and masculinity to her otherwise attractive face.
Lin Ye continued to lower his head and eat his rice, ignoring the woman.
In this world, although there was no concept of nations, there was still some antagonism between different races.
Different races also had spontaneously organized military institutions, but unlike direct warfare in his previous life, the main task of military organizations in this world was to research the application of technology within Dungeons, leaning more towards theoretical discussion.
The woman's camouflage uniform clearly indicated she was a military person, and Lin Ye didn't want to casually provoke her.
Lin Ye remained silent, but the woman spoke in a deep, low voice.
"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Ye?"
"The first clear commander of Royal Sea Battle was... you?"
Lin Ye nodded, continuing to slurp his pig's trotters.
Actually, at this point in time, Lin Ye didn't want to stand out, but with the Sky Curtain's public mechanism, Lin Ye's performance in the Dungeon had already spread throughout this world.
It was only normal that he would be recognized.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Ye, I am Zhao Jianyu, the Section Chief of the Great Xia Clan's Dungeon Technology Research Institute One, and also the Assistant to Director Ding Chang of Institute One."
"You met Mr. Ding Chang previously in the Royal Sea Dungeon."
At this, Lin Ye remembered.
Ding Chang was the Lv2 big shot from the Great Xia Clan who had given his warship to Lin Ye to use in the Royal Sea Dungeon.
His phrase, "Great Xia people don't deceive Great Xia people," left a deep impression on Lin Ye.
If it weren't for Ding Chang, Lin Ye wouldn't have been able to command the Royal Sea Battle Dungeon so smoothly.
After this introduction, Lin Ye already knew the woman's background.
"Hello, Miss Zhao, please thank Mr. Ding for his trust in the Dungeon previously."
Zhao Jianyu brushed her hair back, a slight smile playing on her lips, then took out a document and her business card, handing them to Lin Ye.
"Take a look; this is an introduction to our research institute. Our institute's main research direction is currently in the docking of aircraft and ships..."
"Mr. Ding said you are a talented individual and hopes you can join our research institute."
Lin Ye glanced at the document's introduction and found that the research institute's main research direction was actually the prototype of the Aircraft Carrier...
This largely aligned with Lin Ye's judgment of this era, as Aircraft Carriers in his previous life actually appeared during the S1 period.
"Mr. Lin, do you still seem to be hesitating?" Zhao Jianyu looked at Lin Ye, who had been silent for a long time.
"Thank you for Mr. Ding Chang's kind offer; I need to go back and carefully consider this invitation."
With that, Lin Ye stood up, put the document and Zhao Jianyu's business card into his pocket, and prepared to leave.
"No problem." Zhao Jianyu smiled. "But I would like to kindly remind Mr. Lin."
"You should have just started challenging Dungeons, perhaps you don't understand many rules."
"Being able to join a research institute is greatly beneficial to your survival."
In this world, research institutes of various ethnic groups could be said to be the most core institutions; within a research institute, one could exchange various technical principles, thereby improving one's Dungeon creation.
Additionally, research institutes also had large reserves of Points, which amounted to a small "get-out-of-jail-free card."
Once one entered a research institute, both life outside and survival within Dungeons were guaranteed.
This was something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of!
Yet this Lin Ye actually still needed to consider it?!
Lin Ye didn't say anything more about this matter, but left with a parting remark.
"By the way, Miss Zhao, since you are from an official organization, you should have a lot of say in the Great Xia Clan gathering place. I hope you can help me convey something as much as possible."
"Next, I will launch my first Dungeon, and I will try my best not to draw fellow countrymen into it."
"But if any fellow countrymen of the Great Xia Clan are accidentally randomly selected by the Sky Curtain... I hope these people can voluntarily surrender and exit the Dungeon."
"This can minimize losses."
Previously, Ding Chang had helped Lin Ye, and now Lin Ye was happy to give back to his fellow countrymen.
As long as the Raging Sea and Surging Waves Dungeon came out, Lin Ye was confident that the Challengers of this world would simply not be able to conquer it.
Moreover, in Lin Ye's settings, as the Dungeon's progress deepened, the Points deducted for failure would also increase accordingly.
Looking at it this way, surrendering immediately upon entering the Dungeon from the very beginning was definitely the best choice...
This was a cruel world, and Lin Ye couldn't concern himself with the lives of too many people.
This was all he could do to help his fellow countrymen.
After speaking, Lin Ye paid the bill and turned to leave.
Leaving Zhao Jianyu alone in her original spot.
Zhao Jianyu watched Lin Ye's retreating figure, a helpless smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"What a pity..."
"He must have just reached the age, completely unaware of the cruelty of this world."
On Azure Star, it was very difficult to survive without relying on an organization.
It was already absurd enough that Lin Ye didn't immediately accept the olive branch she extended.
She didn't expect this guy to brazenly say that everyone who entered his Dungeon should voluntarily withdraw.
"Do you know how many people view a novice Dungeon like yours as prey for gaining Points?"
Muttering to herself, Zhao Jianyu gently extinguished her cigarette with her fingers.
She had seen far too many young people like Lin Ye.
With a little talent, they would become conceited, thinking they were one-in-a-million Dungeon Designers.
Without exception, they were all brutally beaten down by reality in the end.
Because for a Dungeon Designer, they actually bore greater risks than ordinary Challengers.
Because every time a Dungeon was cleared, the Dungeon Designer's Points would be deducted.
Some young Dungeon Designers were overly ambitious.
Their first Dungeon was directly speed-cleared by others, causing their Points to rapidly zero out, leading to joy turning into sorrow in the end.
In this world, even geniuses needed to be cautious.
