#888 - Chapter 888: Clarify Your Goals
"Alright then, I'll give it a try." Nata agreed reluctantly.
It seems that even a super intelligence with such absolute talent needs motivation to improve!
"Okay. Let's begin then. What do we do next?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"How about we start by building a small world?" Nata asked.
He was nominally in a leading position, but not psychologically.
"Then where should we build it?" Dongfang Chen Er knew he couldn't adjust immediately and could only guide him slowly.
"Let me think, how about placing it inside the Earth's crust on Mars?" Nata asked.
"What's the reason?"
"It won't be so easy for the enemy to find it," Nata explained.
"Then is there a safer method?"
"A safer method?" Nata pondered carefully, then replied:
"Put it on a warship?"
"What's the reason?"
"Besides us, there's no one else on Mars. So the enemy might not look for the location of the small world and might choose to destroy Mars directly. If that's the case, no matter where it's placed on Mars, the safety factor won't be much different."
"If it's placed on a warship, the enemy might also destroy the warship. In this respect, it's the same probability as Mars being attacked. But we can reduce the probability by building more warships, and we can also avoid attacks by adjusting the warships' maneuvers."
"In that case, putting it on a warship would be safer."
"Very good! Your analysis is very accurate! Keep it up!" Dongfang Chen Er gave a thumbs up, encouraging him.
"Okay!" Nata was as happy as a child to receive his dad's praise.
"Then next, I'll design a new warship first," Nata said.
"Alright, tell me about your design ideas," Dongfang Chen Er nodded and asked.
"I think the first point is that this warship can't be too small or too big," Nata analyzed.
"What's the reason?"
"Small spaceships have small capacity and can't garrison a large number of troops. If a large number of troops are deployed, it means that a small world is stored inside. In that case, it's easy to expose."
"If the spaceship is too big, the maneuverability will become poor, and it will easily become a sitting duck."
"That's right, anything else?"
"The warship's power must be strong, and it's best to be a mother-ship and daughter-ship combination," Nata had another inspiration.
"Strong power can ensure better maneuverability, and the design of a mother-ship and daughter-ship can better ensure the safety of the small world. Deploy the small world in the daughter-ship, and you can quickly evacuate in case of an emergency."
Nata's talent is beyond doubt. With a little guidance, he will make great progress.
"You're right. Then you can start designing, and try to consider all kinds of complex situations. Especially when facing four-dimensional or even five-dimensional enemies, how to ensure safety must be a key consideration," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"Okay, I understand," Nata nodded solemnly.
For Nata, doing anything is like starting a new quest line. So after this matter was settled, it didn't affect him from continuing to discuss other issues.
"Then, regarding Blue Star, should we continue to develop it?" Nata asked.
"Don't ask me, you think about it," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"I think Blue Star must be a key area for development," Nata said.
"What's the reason?"
"You just said that there are still a large number of small worlds on Blue Star, and the strength of these small worlds is not clear. Their goals are not clear now, they may be enemies, or they may not be."
"In this case, by supporting the development of the Sailors, we can form a force of resistance. If there is any change on Blue Star, it will not fall into a passive situation."
"Then what is the relationship between the situation on Blue Star and us?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"This..." Nata was speechless.
He didn't include this question in his scope of consideration.
Perhaps because Dongfang Chen was a human, he felt that protecting humans was a matter of course.
"Hehe, Nata, to figure out this question, you must first figure out what your own goal is," Dongfang Chen Er guided.
"Goal?"
Nata was stunned.
He doesn't have a goal now.
"Yes, you must first clarify your own goal, and then you can formulate decisions that conform to your own interests based on this goal," Dongfang Chen Er explained.
"Oh dear! It's good to be happy every day, why think so much?" Mengka interrupted when he saw Nata lost in thought.
"You're right, being happy is also a goal. In fact, not only you, but the common goal pursued by everyone is to make themselves happy. It's just that for many people, it may be difficult to achieve this point in their entire lives," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"Then we can do it! Haven't we already achieved it now?" Mengka said.
