“I opened up the lucky boxes I had gathered the other day, and I found one.”

“If it’s an item from the level S store... will you be able to find all of the materials you need to make it? It’s bound to use materials from the same level.”

Looking at the conclusion, they can create a downgraded version if they fill in the missing parts from level A. This is what his helper had told him.

“He said it’s performance might be just 30% of a level S, but there shouldn’t be apparent differences. And they don’t sell the completed product anyway.”

That had been the decisive reason for his wanting to create it.

Think about it. A completed product needs to be purchased by an individual, and how many points would that call for?

There is no standard for them to distinguish whether the current drawings are right or wrong, but what if they really could dominate the sea?

This is just my personal thinking, but I have no doubt that the Sub Albatrus was created as a weapon against Sea God Levadan.”

The last of the six Disasters, Sea God Levadan.

None of the 36 Rankers saw Sea God Levadan with their own eyes. Underwater battles are trickier than those above ground.

The sea is more than twice as large as the six continents. The deep areas are more than 10,000m deep. Where would they even go looking for him?

The funny thing is that it is a problem even if they find him.

There is no way to catch him.

Just as fish cannot live on ground, humans cannot live under water.

This is why even in the virtual version, they were more averse to water mutants than they were to flying mutants. action

“Levadan...”

“Is there an exchange if it’s a weapon that lets us take on Levadan? That’s why they don’t sell the completed product. It’s impossible to buy.”

Cha Jun Sung looked over the drawings of Albatrus, and stopped at the last sheet. It has all of the materials they need written on it.

“1000 level – level A energy cores?”

“At least. We don’t have level S energy cores to be at the center.”

Cha Jun Sung instinctively touched his chest.

He has a level S energy core. The one in his fully modified battlesuit.

Strategist smiles. They need dozens of them. It would be nice to have them, but he can’t ask Cha Jun Sung for his.

Trillions of points will be used up in building this. There are 1000 in just level A. The numbers in levels B, C, and lower are enough to make his head spin.

“It’s a downgrade, but I’m expecting the points to come out to be in the tens of trillions.”

Cha Jun Sung choked on Strategist’s words.

That’s more than he had been thinking. It’s a number that would be impossible even for a group.

This is only possible for the World Federation, which is formed by large guilds receiving aid from dozens of countries. It is too much even for hostile force, Bloody Kingdom.

“I’m going to get the materials from Lifers in World Federation. Those who have over billions are Rankers and masters of large guilds and cadres. We’ll get a little from those below them. Won’t it be possible out if we all work together?”

“How will you make it?”

He says that he can get the materials through tens of thousands of Lifers. But he is curious as to how they will actually create it.

“I’m going to leave it to the cyborgs. I showed this to famous shipyard engineers, and they said that they’d rather heal a patient with an incurable disease.”

They can create it if they enter the drawings into artificial intelligence.

Lower and mid levels lack the skill, so they need to be higher level.

It means that cyborgs become laborers.

Hundreds of points will go into just this purchase. But what can they do? Humans can’t do it.

It is because of the difference between the science of Life Mission and the current Earth.

4 and 5 year olds can learn addition and subtraction if they are taught. If they are taught even more, they can even learn multiplication and division.

However, they could never learn equations, calculus, functions, and sets with their ability to learn.

The standards of the two worlds had become the difference between the earth and the sky in the first place.

“How long are you expecting it to take?”

“It seems like 3 or 4 months will be enough since cyborgs aren’t humans.”

They can work 24 hours a day, 720 hours a month without rest. One advanced cyborg can work the same amount that 100 humans can.

What if there are over 1000 of those?

The production speed will be fast.

Cha Jun Sung had one question. Why is Strategist trying to make the Albatrus? It costs 100 trillion.

“We can’t just keep depending on battlesuits. We can try various strategic tactics, but even if we’re not infantry, the end is a handful of guns.”

Lifers utilize items that fit each of their dispositions. They use weapons ranging from artillery, guns, to swords. The only difference is being at a distance or close range.

There are machines other than these weapons in Life Mission’s store that Lifers make themselves like tanks, jets, and helicopters. They perform incomparably better than those of contemporary times, but they have fatal drawbacks. They are expensive and difficult to operate.

Basic battlesuits are 10 million. Basic tanks and armored cars are on the fringe as well. They need to learn to drive them or make a cyborg do it for them.

Compared to the expensive points, there are a lot of things that they need to keep in mind like double sensitivity. They perform well because they are deadly weapons created to defeat the enemy. The problem is that rather than investing points there, they benefit more by investing in battlesuits and using the rest of their points to get auxiliary equipment.

The ground isn’t a suitable environment for hundreds of tanks or armored cars to move on. Efficiency decreases in places that are impossible to enter.

It is also hard to hide the noise, so it is easy to become targets for mutants.

So if they are using a battlesuit, there is no reason to add on more gear to make it more complicated. That only brings bad results.

“There are too many obstacles on the ground. No matter how I think about it, there isn’t anything more efficient than fighting with a battlesuit.”

Powerful and easy.

These are the battlesuit’s greatest advantages.

“But the Albatrus is different. This giant weapon can take on tens of thousands of Lifers at one time, and it has tremendous combat power. This makes the genocide of mutants possible.”

How is the power of an aircraft carrier?

It is impossible to compare to tanks or armored cars. If they board the Albatrus, they can reduce the Lifers sacrificed while wasting points.

It’s just a theory because they haven’t practiced, but Strategist stayed up all night to check the specifications and it seems there is plenty of possibility.

“Rather than the sea and shore, it is the difference between weapon quality and application.”

“That’s right.”

The sea is a tricky area for Lifers to act in. There are very few missions related to the sea, and Lifers avoid even those.

If a means of attack forms, they don’t fall behind on the merits of above ground war. With the Albatrus, they can kill mutants without even touching them.

There are no boundaries in the vast ocean. They can keep going up and down.

They can move as they please and kill everything in sight because there are no towering mountains or cumbersome things like buildings. Moving around is easy too. They can just float around.

“The Albatrus is a weapon sold in the level S store. We need to use it.”

He wouldn’t have made work like this if it had been an ordinary marine weapon. It’s the type of thing that they can’t get now like the opening card.

“After hearing you out, it really doesn’t seem bad.”

There is a giant tank that 100 Lifers can board among above ground weapons as well.

It is a weapon in the level A store. They can buy this through drawings as well, and a bus would look like a toy car if placed in front of it.

Since they’re able to make the Albatrus, there’s no reason for them to buy it now. Strategist was actually thinking of using this kind of item too.

“You might have heard from Mr. Park Jin Hyuk, but more than 600 people died during the level B advance mission. It’s a terrible loss since they were a valuable power.”

There was a collision immediately after getting through the Red Blood Worms. They had wide range weapons but if they come in hordes, they have no choice but to engage in close range battle.

“I was able to get to this high position due to the sacrifice of others. I’d like to protect lives I can protect.”

They need a sturdy and large shield that can protect them from any attack.

The Albatrus would be able to play that role.

“And there is someone who can support my decision. Come in.”

Wiing!

Cha Jun Sung looks at the automatic doors of the office. At the moment, they are the only two people in the room.

Who is going to come in?

As the automatic doors open, a fairly old middle-aged man enters. This is someone Cha Jun Sung has never seen before.

“Introduce yourselves to each other.”

“Cha Jun Sung, I’m Overload.”

“We’ve met a few times in the virtual version, but it seems you don’t recognize me because I look different. I’m Yann Clark. I’m a Sea General.”

“Huh?”

Sea General.

He is a unique Lifer, the only one of the 36 Rankers who worked with the sea in the background. No user is better versed in Life Mission’s ocean than he is.

Had he been in the World Federation?

“Alright. Then shall we get started?”

He thought they were coming to an end, but they’re now just getting started?

It seems this will take a long time.
