Chapter 509: Chapter 249: Cruise Ship, Ark of Hope!!! (20,000-Word Update 2/5)_3

Wei Banmeng’s cool face was also filled with astonishment, murmuring, "Bigger than any cruise ship I know of... at least three times bigger..."

Lu Jiuyuan’s sharp eyes were also filled with seriousness and scrutiny.

Jiang Wei’s small mouth slightly opened, the massive silhouette of the ship reflected in her clear red eyes. Her expressionless face showed a noticeable spark in her gaze.

"This cruise ship... is too huge..."

Even the usually reticent Lu Jiuyuan couldn’t help but voice a low exclamation.

Fang Qingyu watched the shocked expressions of his teammates, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening.

"That’s right, this time we are taking this ship to the Arctic."

He patted the steering wheel.

"Ark of Hope."

"Ark of Hope..." Wei Banmeng repeated the name, her brow immediately furrowing, carrying a professional wariness and doubt.

"Isn’t that wrong? This ship looks like the top luxury cruise, though gigantic, but what about the defense? Sea Life Ghosts keep emerging, especially on the route to the Arctic, the threat of High Tier Sea Life Ghosts is immense! With such a civilian-grade structure, if attacked, I’m afraid..."

She didn’t finish her words, but the meaning was clear.

This ship in front of Life Ghosts might be vulnerable.

Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan also snapped out of their shock immediately, showing the same concern on their faces.

Yes, no matter how big, how luxurious the ship is, in the face of deep-sea giant beast Life Ghosts that can rip steel warships, it is just a bigger target.

Hearing this, Fang Qingyu didn’t directly explain, but smiled and reached out, grabbing a thick manila document folder from the storage compartment of the front center console.

Casually threw it back to Wei Banmeng sitting in the middle of the back row.

"See for yourself."

Wei Banmeng caught the heavy document folder and quickly opened it.

Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan also immediately crowded over.

Inside the document folder was a thick stack of detailed technical data and construction reports about the "Ark of Hope."

The papers were densely filled with data, charts, and structural diagrams.

All three were Tier Two Grandmasters, with sharp minds, their eyes quickly scanning those key pieces of information.

[Ship Name]: Ark of Hope

[Class]: Federation Arctic Strategic Transport Ship (SSS-Class) 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

[Overall Length]: 1588 meters

[Mold Width]: 268 meters

The ship’s structure, main armor belt, and core compartments are forged using the "Nine Abyss Giant Whale" skeleton... and other alloys in multilayer composite forging, with an average thickness of 4.5 meters, and critical areas up to 8 meters thick. The yield strength exceeds that of any known warship armor. The exterior is covered with the latest generation "Energy-Absorbing Ceramic-Memory Alloy" composite armor layer.

In ice areas, the bow adopts the "Icebreaker-Titan" structure, containing the "Frost Iron-Eating Ghost" core low-temperature force field inside, capable of efficiently breaking and melting the thick polar ice layer.

Ecological cycle, a highly enclosed large internal ecosystem, can support long-term self-sufficient navigation for the personnel on board (rated for 5000 people).

[Main Task], responsible for personnel rotation between the Federation homeland and the Arctic Front, transportation of high-value materials, especially Life Ghost materials, and serving as a mobile strategic support point.

Etc.

...

"Hiss——"

Upon seeing the words "Nine Abyss Giant Whale skeleton."

Chu Kuanglan gasped, his eyes almost popping out.

"My dear mother... this... this isn’t a cruise ship! It’s a super war fortress in cruise ship disguise!!"

Wei Banmeng’s cool face was also full of shock.

Her fingers unconsciously grazed over the data on armor thickness and yield strength in the document.

"I see... using Life Ghost materials themselves as the main structure... no wonder it’s daring to tread the Arctic route! Such defense... ordinary Tier Three Life Ghosts might find it hard to breach in a short time!"

Lu Jiuyuan nodded vigorously: "Disguising it as a cruise ship is probably also to avoid unnecessary trouble and prying."

Fang Qingyu watched the three’s relieved yet amazed expressions through the rearview mirror, smiling as he added:

"So, there’s no need to worry too much about safety. This ship is the crystallization of Federation technology itself, and it’s also a moving fortress that poured countless engineers’ efforts on the front lines."

After reading the information, Chu Kuanglan’s eyes shone as bright as a bulb, his previous worries vanished, leaving only excitement and anticipation:

"Captain! Doesn’t that mean we can really relax this time on our way?! I saw in the documents that the ship has all kinds of facilities! Training grounds, simulation battle rooms, these are indispensable! The key is it has a swimming pool, cinema, bar, restaurant... and even a small shopping street and botanic garden?!"

He got more and more excited as he spoke.

As if he could already see himself lying on a deck chair, sipping a chilled drink, and admiring the scenery of the Arctic Ocean.

Fang Qingyu looked at Chu Kuanglan’s expression, and then at Wei Banmeng and Lu Jiuyuan, whose eyes were also slightly bright and revealing some interest, and Jiang Wei, sitting quietly beside, whose small ears were evidently perked up.

He smiled and nodded, not intending to dampen everyone’s spirits:

"Yes, the facilities on the ship are indeed very complete. After all, the voyage is not short, taking nearly twenty days one way to Glazed Light City."

"So," Fang Qingyu’s voice carried a hint of relaxation, "aside from necessary group training and personal cultivation time daily, the rest of the time is freely arranged. As long as you don’t violate ship rules or delay serious matters, you’re free to relax however you like."

"Yay!!!"

Chu Kuanglan couldn’t help but cheer inside the car, excitedly rubbing his hands.

"Awesome! Finally, a chance to breathe easy! I want to go swimming! I want to watch a movie! I want to taste the ship’s specialty restaurant!!"

Wei Banmeng’s mouth also couldn’t help but slightly upturn, a hint of anticipation gliding over her cool eyes.

No matter how steady she was, she was ultimately a young person in her twenties, and faced with such a novel and luxuriously equipped "journey," she couldn’t possibly remain unmoved.
