With ease, Raine managed to overcome this pirate crew, without resorting to wholesale slaughter. These pirates were not fond of wanton killing, so Raine only captured their leader and key members to get bounty.

After collecting the bounty on the nearest island and purchasing the remaining materials, Raine returned to the base island. The construction of the super battleship base island was now taking shape. A towering, massive wall had been erected around the eastern side of the island, while the western side's shallow beach didn't require such fortifications due to the inability of other large vessels to land there.

The island now boasted a total population of 12,000, including 7,000 mutants who were of different species, many of whom were weary of warfare. The strength of the base now surpassed that of the previous sea king's empire.

The inhabitants here lived and worked in peace, and the base had even begun conducting business transactions with multiple islands. The base was transitioning from its construction phase to a stable, profitable one.

That evening, Raine stood on the ship's deck, looking at the flickering lights of the small island. He heard the sounds of people's laughter and chatter drifting across the island and couldn't help but feel excited. "I'm a real estate owner now! Haha!"

"Captain, don't just stand there, everyone's waiting!" Trueking and Charge King ran up behind Raine, pulling him back. "What's so great about looking at the base? Can it compare to shipbuilding? Hurry, we can't wait any longer!"

Raine frowned, watching these two men. These newcomers were somewhat overly excitable. He then found Avril, Armin, and Fancy, who had already taken up position in the best lookout tower, shouting towards Raine.

"Captain, hurry up!" The three women jumped up and down on the lookout tower.

Raine shook his head, realizing that everyone was waiting for him. "Let's go then... Evolution!"

At his command, a large amount of material from the sea began to move, cutting, polishing, welding, and assembling. Gradually, the keel, frame, hull, and superstructure began to take shape.

"Wow, what a massive ship! The keel must be 200 meters long!"

"There are so many gun turrets!"

"The armor on the ship seems even thicker and heavier."

This ship was much larger than the Fletcher-class destroyer, with a total of 23 large and small gun positions scattered in various directions.

It took three hours to complete the construction of the ship, setting a new record. As soon as the ship was completed, Raine's mind immediately conjured up an image of a battleship he had read about in a book.

"The Yamato!" Raine's eyes widened.

Although the Yamato was 253 meters long, much longer than this, this ship could be considered a miniature version of the Yamato in terms of appearance.

Raine didn't oppose the idea of reducing the size of the ship. Despite the mature steam engine technology used in the Yamato battleship, but with a maximum speed of only 27 knots. This speed was not ideal in this day and age. In the face of size and speed, Riane would choose speed.

"Transfer consciousness and items!"

After transferring to the new ship, Raine quickly opened the basic information menu for the battleship.

[Host: Raine]

[Ship: Optimized Japanese battleship Yamato]

[Cabins: 400 (crew cabins), 3 (large storage cabins), power room (5), an anti-aircraft radar control station (2), anti-sea radar control room (2), backup radar control room (2), small range control room (11), engine room (16)]

[Number of crew members: 59 (all assigned duties, open to view details)]

[Speed: Maximum 38 knots (open to view details)]

[Combat power: 117,000 (can be viewed in crew information and weapon systems)]

Raine didn't want to look at the combat power calculated by the system. It only calculated the attack power of a single shot and had no reference value.

The first thing that Raine noticed was the number of pearls required for the next level upgrade. 100 black pearls equal 1 gold pearl, then 5 million gold pearls equal 500 million black pearls...

"What the hell! Is this a mistake? The next level is 100 times higher!"

Raine had never encountered this kind of situation before. It's usually a maximum of 10 times growth, but this time it's 100 times. This was forcing Raine to go to the king-class sea area.

Raine didn't know how long it will take to earn that much money in the beast-class sea area!

"Forget it, let's take a look at this ship first. It's really an optimized Yamato!"

Speaking of the Japanese battleship Yamato, this ship undoubtedly holds an extremely significant position in the history of warships. The Yamato-class battleship, to which the Yamato belonged, was the largest battleship ever built by the former Japanese Navy and the largest battleship in the history of human naval vessels.

This alone is sufficient to warrant a place in the annals of history. Moreover, this battleship was equipped with advanced weaponry systems, radar systems, and power systems that were extremely advanced for its time.

Had it not been for the existence of another colossal ship that reigned supreme during its time, the Yamato would have been the most formidable presence.

Of course, the fate of the Yamato was extremely unfortunate, and it did not play much of a role.

However, it must be admitted that the configuration of the Yamato was still very impressive. Raine also cared about the performance configuration of the ship.

"Check the weapon systems!"

[Lightning II Triple Mount Dual-purpose Anti-aircraft Gun: Quantity (3), two on the front deck and one on the rear deck, with a maximum elevation angle of 45 degrees and a range of 50,000 meters. Maximum firing rate is 3 rounds/minute, with an initial projectile velocity of 900 meters/second. Single-shell attack power is 5,000, and the total attack power is 45,000.]

[Lightning II Triple Mount Field Gun: Quantity (3), with a maximum elevation angle of 85 degrees and an anti-aircraft range of 30,000 meters. The total attack power is 45,000.]

[Lightning Triple Mount Dual-purpose Anti-aircraft Gun: Quantity (2), maximum elevation angle 85 degrees, air-to-air range 25,000 meters. Total attack power 4800.]

[Lightning Triple Mount Field Gun: Quantity (3), with a maximum elevation angle of 35 degrees and a range of 15,000 meters. The maximum firing rate is 24 rounds/minute, with an initial projectile velocity of 800 meters/second. Single-shell attack power is 800, and the total attack power is 7,200.]

[Lightning II Shipborne Heavy Machine Gun (Automatic Control): 40mm caliber strong cooling shipborne machine gun, quantity (4), range 3000 meters, firing rate 300 rounds/minute, single bullet attack power 260, total combat power 1040.]

[Lightning II Shipborne Light Machine Gun (Automatic Control): 25mm caliber strong cooling shipborne machine gun, quantity (4), range 2700 meters, firing rate 500 rounds/minute, single bullet attack power 120, total attack power 480.]

[Lightning Shipborne Heavy Machine Gun (Manual Control): 40mm caliber strong cooling shipborne machine gun, quantity (2), total combat power 360.]

[Lightning Shipborne Light Machine Gun (Manual Control): 20mm caliber strong cooling shipborne machine gun, quantity (2), total attack power 160.]

[Hunter Torpedo: Attack power 1000, quantity 50, total attack power 50000.]

[Bird's Eye View Type Waterborne Unmanned Reconnaissance Aircraft: Quantity 10, equipped with air force-type airborne machine gun, range 500 meters, firing rate 180] rounds/minute, single bullet attack power 60, equipped with anti-submarine radar, total combat power 600.]

[Level 3 Iron Armor Hull, defense power 7000, average defense power 700.]

Raine had to bring out his calculator and the sound of tapping echoed through the room.

After calculating for a while, according to Raine's algorithm, his weapon system's total combat power was 1,397,000!

One million four hundred thousand!! That's more than three times that of the Fletcher-class destroyer!

This optimized Yamato has truly formed a comprehensive combat system, with a weapon system that covers the sky, sea surface, and seabed, including reconnaissance, anti-submarine, and anti-torpedo capabilities that are extremely comprehensive.

In front of this ship, the Fletcher-class destroyer is just a small fry!

"Oh my god, you're forcing me to go to the King-class waters!" Raine said excitedly!
