647: Chapter 545: Entering the Vortex_2 647: Chapter 545: Entering the Vortex_2 Then, can war be asured with super-rationality?
Captain Shinjo Mori remained skeptical.
He had read science fiction, where aliens could block the path of human technological developnt by deliberately altering the results of human technology experints.
Because rationality fears uncertainty the most.
The artificial intelligence of New Xisheng had not predicted that Nestor Corporation would risk using nuclear weapons because it did not calculate that Nestor Corporation would make such a highly unstable decision.
War is ever-changing, how can one generalize it?
Shinjo Mori believed that war was not a precise chain reaction, it largely tested the wisdom of military officers at all levels as well as the initiative of the soldiers.
Moreover, with the presence of unstable factors like Witches and Reality Manipulators, everything was extrely hard to predict.
Nestor Corporation had Witches, but was Black Fire Innovation short of extraordinary individuals?
Just like the dark storm before him.
President Lila couldn’t possibly be unaware of this.
Shinjo Mori speculated that her actions were mainly aid at completely destroying the warship faction, just like clearing out the forces of New Xisheng.
Thinking of this, Shinjo Mori knew he had also beco a target.
As a defeated commander, he had no right to speak, but he hoped that factional disputes would not affect the direction of the war.
In the command office, Shinjo Mori looked around.
Beside him was a precise monitoring system displaying all performance paraters and cabin conditions of the space mothership; two hundred ters in front, 25 communication personnel were working hard, continually collecting and processing all kinds of data, responding to the demands of all officers and soldiers, and monitoring the sudden storms over the Asahara Sea Territory.
Having served here for 15 years, the solemn environnt had left Shinjo Mori with many things; he took pride and faith in the Yokozuna, was responsible for the warship soldiers, and was committed to every battle.
Looking out the porthole at the surging dark tides and gathering ink clouds, Shinjo Mori had heavy considerations on his mind; he could not let all this be aningless.
If Nestor Corporation’s military exercises were not going well, Xia Capital might give in, and Black Fire Innovation would erge victorious.
Therefore, Shinjo Mori called a joint eting.
Shinjo Mori, the acting captains of the other two warships, the military strategy sub-unit of the Hundred-eyes Demon, and Lila all joined the eting.
“Due to the extrely adverse weather conditions…
we should postpone the progress of the military exercises,” Shinjo Mori had to point out the facts.
“…” The others remained silent, waiting for Lila to speak.
Shinjo Mori observed the expressions of the others and sadly found that the rest of the officers had beco Nestor Corporation’s yes-n, turning the elite and brave warship soldiers into technicians of controlled machines.
Black Fire Innovation was estimated to have 10 warships, Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing 8, Kyushu High Pavilion 5, Nestor Corporation 3, and even with those 3 warships, it’s doubtful they could keep up with one other’s main force.
“The storm is perfect for training the warship forces to cope with extre weather, in line with predetermined goals,” Lila’s voice ca out, “Maintain the course, speed unchanged, start the exercise at noon tomorrow, satellite live broadcast throughout, lasting for 7 days.”
“If we’re harassed by Black Fire Innovation, do we have the right to fire at will?” Shinjo Mori inquired.
“I monitor the fleet’s movents and will grant instructions in ti,” Lila responded coldly.
Would the orders be fast enough?
When Witches or enemy warships’ main forces appeared, or if they were ambushed, the situation would beco extrely complex.
Shinjo Mori was filled with anxiety.
Threatened on all sides, they had to wait for orders from a president hundreds of miles away.
Warships were expensive treasures, initially just corporate constructs to use up excess capacity, but now they had beco decisive weapons of war.
Their invention had made surface fleets obsolete.
On the defensive side, conventional surface ship’s anti-air missiles couldn’t bring down space motherships, which served as supermassive battle fortresses.
On the offensive side, the warplanes of the space warship could enter and exit from the giant hangars, striking with high efficiency; the warship itself could carry giant main weapons against cities, and their nuclear reactors were larger, providing greater endurance and power.
With so many advantages, the renowned space motherships dominated the battles of this era.
Especially since Witches were restricted by the companies in terms of their power ceiling, generally only up to the level of High-Ranking Witches, they were unable to damage warships.
Even Dominator Pan Ruiyi couldn’t dismantle the Yokozuna, only managing to leave so scratches on its armor.
The materials for the Yokozuna included an entire layer of Yan Duo tal.
During the mining of Yan Duo, a large amount of Yan Duo tal was used to forge the Yokozuna, which ant that about 0.7% of Yan Duo’s mass was transford into the Yokozuna’s shell.
It wasn’t an overstatent to say that the Yokozuna was a mythic warship, absolutely top-class in damage absorption.
But Shinjo Mori knew that as the future situation worsened, the companies might lift the ban on Witches’ training programs and strive to train more Dominator and Supre Witches—then the size and expense of warships would beco a glaring disadvantage, and the Yokozuna could be destroyed.
Just like now, if it were Shinjo Mori leading the military, he would never let the valuable three warships be exposed to the violent storm.
However, the president’s decisiveness must have its rational factors.
“Understood,” Shinjo Mori replied and then continued to organize the three warships to sail as originally planned, heading for the Asahara Sea Territory to face an unknown life-and-death challenge.
Lila withdrew from the joint eting and entered into a detailed analysis process.
As usual, she focused on commanding and planning, while Xu Yang was responsible for maintaining the Helis Sea System, countering the efforts of Black Fire Innovation’s technical personnel to steal and sabotage information.
Countless enemy information units were desperately working in the headquarters of Black Fire Innovation in Baraya, trying to affect the control modules of the three warships and disrupt their normal operation.
