The battleship, now visible, spanned 500 meters in length, yet its design was peculiar – not streamlined and barely resembling a ship. Its overall shape resembled a "U."

Constructed of metal, its surface displayed a distinct metallic texture, with a fully enclosed structure and no visible deck. The exterior appearance was strikingly futuristic.

Raine couldn't afford to admire the new battleship's exterior; he needed to understand its capabilities first.

[Host: Raine]

[Vessel: Nuclear-powered Nautical Gemini Stealth Transformable Carrier]

Upon reading the second line, Raine drew a deep breath...

"Damn! A transformable aircraft carrier? Hahaha! Incredible! Now this is a true super battleship!"

Clearly, this technology surpassed Raine's knowledge, venturing into uncharted territory for humanity!

[Cabins: Crew Quarters (2000), Large Storage Rooms (5), Small Hangars (300), Radar, Power, Joint Control System Control Stations (2), Backup Joint Control Rooms (4), Engine Rooms (4), Backup Engine Rooms (4), Dual-purpose Artificial Firepower Simulation Training and Combat Control Rooms (100), Sub-ship Docking Bays (50), Main Ship Expansion Connection Rooms (4), Internal Passageways for Aircraft (2).]

The number of functional compartments had decreased due to the integration of various systems.

An additional simulation training and combat control room had been added, though its specific purpose remained unknown.

[Hull Auxiliary Equipment: Intelligent Aircraft Capture Robotic Arms, Plasma Waste Disposal System, "Thunder God II" Electric Conversion Device, "Moon Rabbit" Weapon Concealment Rotary Device, "Stealth Expert" Anti-radar Detection Stealth System, "Reflecting Mirror" Visual Refraction Interference Projector System, "Sea Net" Missile Joint Attack Weapon Chain, "Sky Eye" Missile Full-screen Defense System.]

"Damn!" Raine's chest heaved, the battleship's technological level far exceeding his imagination!

Instead of using an elevating platform, the weapon system employed a rotary device. When the weapons were used, the weapon base would rotate, entering combat mode.

When not in use, the weapon launchers would seamlessly integrate with the main ship, as they were now, Raine couldn't see the gun turrets.

"I'm familiar with the anti-radar stealth system, but what's this visual refraction?" Raine felt perplexed.

He hadn't quite grasped this feature, but now was not the time to delve into it, so he continued reading.

Sure enough, the surprises were far from over! Upon seeing the next piece of information, Raine went utterly mad.

[Transformation Form 1: High-Speed Gemini Carrier (in this state, can be split into two separate transformable carriers).]

[Transformation Form 2: Defensive Counterattack Turtle Shell Battleship (in this state, the battleship has diving capabilities).]

"Two forms!" Raine instantly understood why the battleship had numerous connections made with intricate components – it was to allow the ship to transform between different forms!

"Form 2 can even act as a submarine!"

Raine suppressed his excitement and continued reading.

[Crew Members: 1 (all assigned duties, open for details)]

Since there were no other crew members on board, this information was irrelevant.

[Ship Speed: 50 (Form 1), when split into two carriers, maximum speed of 60 knots/hour; 35 (Form 2) (open for details)]

[Combat Power:? (no aircraft squadron equipped)]

[Evolution: No suitable unit of measurement (open for details)]

Raine took a deep breath, as he now found his consciousness within one of the main control rooms of the Gemini Transformable Carrier.

Although the system was often unreliable, it had never disappointed Raine in terms of upgrades.

"Too powerful! My 500 billion wasn't wasted!"

The data review wasn't over yet; the crucial information was below. Raine quickly opened the battleship's weapon system.

[Shipborne Weapon System]

["Heavenly Might" Particle Beam Main Gun (2): Range 300 km, single-shot attack power 5 million, total combat power 10 million, firing preparation time 5 minutes, cooldown time 120 minutes.]

["Sea Rage" Type Anti-air 12-tube Missile Launcher (40): Range 250 km, single-shot attack power 20,000, total combat power 9.6 million.]

["Sea Rage" Type 6-tube Anti-submarine Rocket (20): Dive depth 1,000 meters, dive speed 30.4 meters/second, firing rate 10 rounds/minute, single-shot attack power 20,000, total combat power 2.4 million.]

["Sea Rage" Attack Type 4-tube Torpedo (80): Single-shot attack power 20,000, total combat power 6.4 million.]

["Sea Rage" Interception Type 4-tube Torpedo (80): Single-shot attack power 5,000, total combat power 1.6 million.]

["Sea Shield" Type Anti-torpedo Net, no combat power.]

["Mocking Man" Type Decoy Flare (30), no combat power.]

["Pathfinder" Type Signal Jamming Flare (30), no combat power.]

[Combined Artillery Firepower Room (100): Dual human and AI control system, equipped with two 40mm "Sea Rage" machine guns, one "Sea Spear" 8-tube anti-ship missile launcher, and one "Sea Spear" 8-tube anti-air missile launcher, attack power 17.5 million.]

[Level 6 Iron Armor Hull, defense power 100,000. Turtle Shell Battleship form covered with three layers of heavy metal shielding, defense power increased to 150,000.]

The new battleship seemed to have returned to an era focused on main ship weapon systems, possessing more weaponry compared to an aircraft carrier.

The majority of the "Sea Lance" weapon systems had been upgraded to the "Sea Fury" model, showing a significant increase in both range and destructive power.

Yet, what thrilled Raine the most were the twin primary cannons mounted on the double-hulled "U" shaped battleship.

"Heaven's Might Particle Beam Cannons... these are absurdly powerful!"

One blast had the capacity to yield five million damage points! Even an enemy aircraft carrier could be obliterated in a single shot!

Regrettably, the cooldown time for the particle beam cannons was quite lengthy, requiring two hours. Likely, only two shots could be fired in a single battle.

Yet Raine felt no dissatisfaction. After all, an ace in the hole need only be used once!

"I must keep this primary weapon hidden; it's my trump card!"

As a transforming mothership, aircraft were no longer parked on the deck but entered independent hangar bays within the mothership's body through flight channels.

This feature lent an even more futuristic feel to the battleship.

However, without the aid of a runway or recovery track, the aircraft was required to have even more robust airborne stability.

Before even examining the fighter system, Raine was confident that the new battleship would undoubtedly have its matching new model carrier-based aircraft.

Like savoring the most delectable dish last, Raine decided to inspect the fighter system only at this point.

His current mood was anything but relaxed compared to when he was constructing the new battleship.

"Alright, my friend, I know you won't disappoint me. Let's see the new carrier-based aircraft!"
