Aside from Andasu, the young girls traveling with him were mostly clueless, but they at least understood the size of the ship.
"Length 81 ters, width 23 ters... huh? It's not even a hundred ters?" Dorothy remarked.
"It's just shy of it. A hundred ters is quite big," Li Ang said. "We're a small Sky Cavalry, if the ship is too big, it's hard to maintain, and for aerial combat, size isn't everything."
In Nebis, aerial combat refers to fighting airborne demons, occasionally involving peculiar facilities from ancient relics. Even against other ships, what's crucial is the ship's strength rather than size, otherwise it just becos a bigger target. Li Ang had emphasized this before, and reiterated it here.
Much like the ancient ships in this space, the actual creations differ greatly from distances usually traveled; even with the sa data, the difference is significant when placed together.
This ancient ship exceeds three hundred ters in length, its data comparable to Earth's aircraft carriers, making humans appear as tiny as ants when standing in front of it.
In many cases, eighty ters is also considered a gigantic ship, and a hundred ters is often the upper limit for the main ships of celestial groups. Larger than that, not only is it excessively expensive, it also has disadvantages against gigantic beasts.
If it weren't for Li Ang needing workshops and demon nurseries on board, while also providing spacious living areas to et their pool requirents, he would have preferred a smaller ship.
The blueprint and layout were spread open, followed by showcasing the internal specifics, including space division and room dinsions.
"If there are no objections, we'll go with this," Li Ang said.
The girls could understand this part and were quite interested, flocking around eagerly.
"Here's the activity hall, and here's the training room..."
He pointed out the demon breeding ground, workshop, kitchen, grand bathroom, mber rooms, and the captain's room, leaving out warehouses and pipeline control sections which weren't of interest to them.
"So there's really no private bathroom?" ALulu asked.
Due to her physical condition, she felt a bit sweaty right after breakfast, but the water attribute of her blue crystal armor helped cool her, making her skin rely look moist rather than drenched.
Li Ang knew that during her ti at Thunder Mountain Church, she trained regularly. Zoe did as well.
On their journey, even if they occasionally practiced, it was still infrequent. Once they had their own ship, they'd undoubtedly return to a regular routine, creating a periodic need for bathing.
On the other hand, soone as vain as Dorothy didn't require further elaboration.
Having a personal bathroom in their room would undoubtedly be the most convenient and comfortable.
They all looked at Li Ang indignantly, to which he shrugged, "Not my wish, let's not linger on this."
"But even the Contan Helm has one?" Dorothy protested.
"Didn't I say this is a combat vessel?"
"The Weapon God's ship has one," Zoe suddenly recalled, referencing Elaphia's flagship.
As the primary heir of the Weapon Race, the Alma Clan naturally equipped her with the best conditions, making the entire ship seem like her own palace.
"The cost is several tis over," Li Ang sighed.
Farina picked up a blueprint and explained, "See here, this is the cross-sectional view of the ship's hull. Most of the space is allocated to magic power pipes to deploy the ship-wide shield."
The red-haired witch pointed out so of the pipes, "Water pipes are also partly allocated to the kitchen and rest area. If not needed for the rest area, we might consider having one in the room, but that was your decision."
The so-called rest area mainly housed a large pool, though Li Ang didn't want to be stared at with odd looks by Xiaomo or the unfamiliar Neil, and Farina understood this nuance without stating it aloud.
"The water pipes remain in protected zones, separated into potable and waste water. If these pipes are too nurous and placed outside, any hull damage could lead to—"
"We get it, we get it."
Dorothy didn't want to imagine a scene of sewage flowing everywhere, resigning with a sigh.
Farina chuckled softly, "For a combat vessel, the facilities are already quite good."
Neil nodded in agreent, "Honestly, at first glance, I thought a master engineer designed the layout. The space is utilized to the extre; adding even a bit more could disrupt the balance and affect the ship's functions, yet everything integrates well."
He mainly referred to the not-so-large public bathroom with a soaking area, requiring ample water supply and drainage systems.
"I've never seen such a large activity zone and bathroom on a combat ship; never," Neil remarked with awe.
Farina looked at Xiaomo, then at Li Ang, "Rember that ti in the Ignis Sky Realm?"
"Which ti? Oh, that ti," Xiaomo imdiately understood and smiled.
"That ti," Li Ang echoed with a grimace.
"What? Tell ," Zoe asked, intrigued.
Xiaomo waved a fist dramatically, "We listened to that scoundrel Viel, got caught up in a demon migration; the ship drifted for days, by the ti we disembarked, I was practically cured like at."
Li Ang added, "The sewage pipes were damaged, contaminating the water tanks. We faced a severe water shortage and suffocating stench by the end."
Xiaomo laughed, "At first we could barely tolerate each other, but gradually we got accustod, living normally while complaining. By the end, our noses were desensitized. When a passing ship finally assisted us, they gave us strange looks. Upon disembarking, the whole port avoided us in droves."
"Oh?" Akuya suddenly let out a sound.
The Water Dragon, who hadn't been seen, suddenly appeared, startling everyone, especially Neil, who was in disbelief, questioning his own eyes.
No one knew what was on this elusive deity's mind, but Li Ang ignored her and added, "Back then, we even wished we were in the Salem Sky Realm, where the humidity was lower, thinking it might help."
Farina smiled, "In the Desert Sky Realm, we might not have survived."
"Huh? That serious? Would we die?" Zoe asked, eyes wide.
"We would."
"Wow, so we could've missed Li Ang?"
Xiaomo instantly jumped on Li Ang, "Let's make the ship as sturdy as possible."
Farina gave the young girl a maternal smile, "I didn't think these requests were achievable at first; most combat ships barely manage basic needs, stopping at sky islands with water for rest, but nowhere near with a bathroom."
After discussing for a while how to start construction, Li Ang tore open the Dinsional Rift, taking out the Shipbuilding Treasure Wood.
In the rift, perhaps due to proximity to the Magic Power Dinsion, these Treasure Woods had grown significantly, reaching the point of serving as small lumber without cutting from the trunk.
"Wow, your materials are top-notch."
Neil circled the trunk, smiling, "I can't wait to see your ship."
As an engineer skilled in shipbuilding, witnessing a fine ship's birth naturally brought him joy.
"Have you decided on a na?" Xiaomo asked.
"Not yet," Li Ang sighed.
Previously, when observing the nas of other celestial groups' ships, he had plenty of critiques and inspirations, but when it ca to his own ship, he was completely stuck.
The flagship of Banquet of the Gods is the Divine Peak, the Cloud Wanderer's flagship is Celestial Soaring, Supre Glory's flagship is the Vessel of Engraving, and the Fellowship of Fortunate Stars' flagship is "Sure to Produce Divine Armor."
What should the Star Flower Travel Corps be called?
"Take your ti to think of it."
Li Ang said, channeling his magic power, at Neil's instructions and system explanations, activating the dock's equipnt, slowly lifting the Shipbuilding Treasure Wood.
Anticipating this mont for a long ti, the girls cheered, led by Farina's encouraging applause, joining in with laughter.
This troubleso bunch of girls, despite often being a headache, deserved a space entirely their own, becoming a place that embodies the aning of "ho" in their troubled lives.
Their lashes fluttered, eyes shimring with emotion that Li Ang might never forget.
The machinery started its precise operation, cutting out the long and resilient wood, forming the most critical keel of the ship.
On the keel, a magic array needed to be placed to stabilize, leaving room for future enhancents, done with utmost care to affect the ship's fundantal combat capability.
As Li Ang pondered, Xiaomo clapped her hands, "Alright, you stay busy, I'm off to the ground for an investigation."
