Arc was busy exploring the Specter according to Eve, the ship interior can also be customized like the outside, this ship is definitely above the current tech human possessed he didn't know how commander Markos manages to do it, but this ship is definitely perfect for him, it wasn't much for others as those features can only be said to be unusual and luxurious but for him, it has a different meaning.
The ship's ability to transform at will is the biggest win for him as with the help of the system factory he can endlessly upgrade this ship as long as he needs to. So, in other words, he won't be needing to change the ship for a very long time.
He can't believe Commander Markos would give up this kind of ship. Just to please him. This what Arc was thinking, so he went back into the command center or bridge to call Commander Markos and to express his thanks.
He sits at the captain's seat "Eve connect me to Commander Markos."
"Sure boss"
Ring, ring! "Arc how do you like my gift" commander Markos happy voice rang into the bridge.
"Commander this time you outdid yourself I like it very much now I don't know how to thank you." Said Arc.
Commander Markos' eyes lit up when he heard it, it is exactly what he wants to hear. "Hahaha, no need for thanks just don't forget me when you develop your special health solutions." Commander Markos Grinned.
"Of course that has already been set" Said Arc. I can promise you won't be disappointed Commander.
"Haha and that's all I need to hear." Well, enjoy your travels lets catch up again soon.
"Of course commander thank you again." Said Arc.
Sure! Well then. Oh, wait what do you think of my granddaughter?" Markos asks with a teasing smile.
Arc surprised by the sudden question, "haha Commander congratulation you have the best granddaughter in the galaxy. Not only she's very pretty she's also very easy to talk to. My secretary hit it off with her instantly they become like sister I'm looking forward to getting to know her more." Arc said with an honest smile. In truth, he just answers in reflex because he was surprised by the sudden question.
Commander Markos grinned big he was very happy with what Arc has said. "That's good to hear I hope you take care of her well I have to go back to work good luck" commander Markos ended the call after he said that.
"Eh? Take care of her?" But before Arc can ask commander Markos ended the call leaving him puzzled.
He can only smile wryly as he thinks about what it meant.
After scratching his head a few times, he ordered Eve to travel to Liberty at cruising speed. He wasn't in the hurry it's his first time in space, and he wants to enjoy it to the fullest...
So He and Tiffa continued to explore the ship. They check the engine area where he left a few maintenance Droids he prepared in advance he also releases a few hundred service droids to help with the ship cleaning and maintenance. As well as a few hundred multi-purpose Droids… that can do almost anything human is capable of.
He checked the ship dock where they can put mecha and small combat ships, but for now, it's empty, so he took out the Rank-8 droid factory this is the most expensive purchase he has to date using almost 50% of his energy unit reserved he purchased it for one reason to create builder Droids because spaceship factory is very expensive even the cheapest Rank-5 is not something he can afford just yet.
So he goes for the next best thing builder droids to build a small combat spaceship and Mecha manually technically the item produce isn't much different from the one produced by the system it just needs more time and a lot of resources.
His first goal is to completely armed this ship and build a squadron to protect his investment here in space. Mainly the space station he would get a few months from now and the place in Liberty.
The Rank 8 droid/drone factory is quite big but inside the ship docking area that has a huge space, it's like a shoebox in a big warehouse.
He also summons all the materials he prepared beforehand. Mountains upon mountain of materials appeared in the ship dock almost filling it to the brim. But he knows all of this will be used up by tomorrow that's how much the factory needs to build Builder Droids.
Builder droids are like a giant black ball that can materialize many types of tentacles to help with their work. The giant ball can float freely. Of course, there are many sizes the biggest ball is around 20 meters in diameters while the smallest is only the size of golf ball Eve was controlling the factory and only building the droids needed for now. Their job is to build 50 automated combat Mecha and Automated combat ships as well as to upgrade the ship's engine and many of its weapons and components.
Arc didn't know how long that will take, but he wasn't worried about it for now.
Their first stop is to inspect the production Ship he got before and leave a few builder droids there to also upgrade its many components right now that production ship is near the solar space station, so that's his first stop before going to Liberty it's in the way anyway, so there's no wasted time on traveling there.
Right now he was back to the bridge together with Dianna and the rest they are having lunch with a full view of space.
"Eve, should I also build a Standalone Nanomachine factory? Since the one produces by it is better than the one produced by a multipurpose factory. I still have enough Energy unit to build a rank-7 or rank-8 nanomachine factory. I just don't know how many materials it needs to produce what we need."
"No boss it's better if we concentrate on building builder droids and Drones especially builder drones."
"Hmm, you plan to release them into space? Is that safe we don't want trouble for now… as we are still powerless at the moment to fight any power in space." Said Arc.
"Don't worry about that boss we will send them to the unexplored region and have them build a base for us as well as to gather resources."
"Builder drones? but to do that just how many we need to that? We don't have that many resources to accommodate that." Said Arc.
"No boss you misunderstood me. I don't mean regular builder drones but mother drones capable of replicating and producing many types of drones, those drones a called cluster drones like nanomachine they are capable of replicating using energy conversion program. Left alone they can build a huge number of drones capable of anything. The only downside is that they required an unbelievable number of materials"
"Hmm, I didn't know that kind of drones exists. Said Arc.
"Well it's in the description you shared with me, you just didn't read it." Said Eve.
Haha, well he was too lazy to read it that's the truth. So he quickly changes the subject. "Can we use this on earth?"
"No, unless you want the earth to be destroyed, just single cluster drones are capable of dismantling earth in just two years if left uncheck."
"Huh? Really? Haha, forget it then, we better make sure they also avoid a planet that has life on it, I don't want to be responsible for species extinction." Said Arc. With a wry smile on his face.
