I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 92: Chapter 90: Interesting Captains

Translator: 549690339

Harrison Clark didn’t fully follow Nora Camp’s advice.

In addition to reviewing the information of the top 1,000 battleships, he also randomly selected at least another 1,000 from the lower-ranking ones to carefully consider and taste.

He found some interesting things.

Human space fleets are divided into five major fleets, namely the vanguard, left wing, right wing, central army, and rearguard fleets.

Twenty-five thousand escort ships are evenly distributed among the five fleets.

The Giant Wave, commanded by Nora Camp, is the cutting-edge of the left-wing fleet, a top combat unit.

During his last visit, Harrison Clark had learned about the general situation of the human space fleet.

The total number of escort ships was 10,000, and he didn’t expect it to have doubled to 25,000 this time.

Escort ships are mainly divided into battleship class, cruiser class, and destroyer class.

Battleships are the highest class, with the largest carrying capacity, the most firepower, and the most equipped with combat machineries and Azure Dragon Armor. They also have the formidable Fusion Compressed Energy Particle Cannon and long-range large-scale nuclear missiles.

Battleship-class escort ships also have internal repair equipment, making them crucial combat units only second to the gigantic main ship.

Cruiser-class escort ships are second in rank and have relatively small carrying capacity, carrying only a few combat machineries and Azure Dragon Armors.

They have basic precision equipment repair capabilities but have longer voyage capabilities and are good at long-distance patrols.

Destroyer-class escort ships are the smallest and have no onboard external combat units, but they are equipped with the Fusion Compressed Energy Particle Cannon and a large number of short-range impulse particle guns, with extremely strong mobility, suitable for close combat.

In military exercises over the years, a destroyer-class escort ship often works with several small and medium-sized battlecruisers to form a small-scale cluster-style tactical attack.

Except for the personal special requirements of the battleship commanders, the basic equipment of escort ships is only divided according to classifications, with essentially similar configurations.

Nora Camp’s The Giant Wave, although a battleship-class escort ship ranking in the top ten in the army’s annual exercises, only achieves significant results with smaller costs due to her command style and level.

In the entire fleet, there are at least a hundred battleship-class escort ships with equipment levels comparable to The Giant Wave.

For top operators like Harrison Clark who have achieved excellent results in the army’s competitions, choosing which escort ships to join is not determined by equipment configuration but by the captain.

So after briefly checking the equipment list, Harrison Clark focused his attention on the personal introductions of the captains.

As expected of the reference materials provided by the military for top operators, the introduction of each ship’s captain is very detailed, covering comprehensive personality analysis from a psychological perspective, descriptions of combat styles, etc.

There are also some recruitment manifestos written by the captains themselves, providing self-introductions hoping to attract more outstanding Azure Dragon Armor operators.

What truly interested Harrison Clark, however, were the introductions to the captains’ hobbies.

At first, he was slightly surprised to see Nora Camp liked to play chess but found it reasonable, as her set of thinking development theories had a solid foundation.

Later, he discovered that almost all captains, including the main ship captains and those of smaller combat ships, also had their own hobbies.

These hobbies were varied and strange.

Examples include diabolo, yoyo, rolling iron rings, table tennis, Rubik’s cube, Chinese puzzle (Huarongdao), tarot cards, Texas Hold’em Poker, mahjong, Gwent cards, LEGO, ping pong, and various types of chess such as draughts, go, chess, shogi, etc.

There are countless types, and it’s common for several people to like the same thing.

For example, chess has not only one enthusiast in Nora Camp but at least dozens of others in the five major fleets who are fond of it. Nora Camp has trouble finding chess partners and can only be abused by Al opponents because her level is awkward, neither high nor low. She is no rival for Al, while others are no match for her, and her chess skills are poor.

Harrison Clark thought this was quite amusing.

Previously, he treated everyone in the future world as NPCs.

This time, due to Azure Dragon Armor and Daniel Thompson, he established a deeper connection with the army and learned more about these officers, who were only codenames to him before. They were all living, breathing people.

A picture involuntarily came to his mind in which a mature and cautious battleship captain was rolling an iron ring in his office like a seven-year-old child, which was quite amusing.

With the information query interface closed, Harrison Clark began to seriously think about which battleship to choose.

Currently, he had selected a total of eight potential targets for himself—apart from The Giant Wave, the other seven battleship-class escort ships all belonged to the rearguard fleet.

Despite some twists and turns this time, his initial intention of trying to survive a few seconds longer never wavered.

“Are you done yet?”

Nora Camp’s voice came through the brainwave resonance communication, close to him, as if she were whispering in his ear.

Harrison Clark, fully focused, was startled.

He really wanted to swear.

He had turned off all external communications so he wouldn’t be disturbed.

The only reason Nora Camp could forcibly contact him was that she had used the base commander’s authority to occupy public resources and forcibly open the emergency communication channel.

“General Camp, can’t you give me a heads-up when you’re looking for me? It’s frightening when you suddenly talk right next to my ear..”
