Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

"I'm glad, I could be a help." Elena smiled with a mischievous grin. Ling Qingyu laughed and didn't bother the two AIs' rapport. She was certain both would never overstep their boundaries. Some small offenses and tit-for-a-tat were negligible.

"No offense, Elena, you look so…."

"Real?"

"Authentic."

Elena chuckled at her new mother's teasing action. "I have imported relevant data and important lists of events, related to you, Mom. So, you don't need to inform me of anything."

"Well, that's good news." Ling Qingyu replied. "How about you give me a full tour? I'm sure the rest of your Aunts are as curious as me."

"With pleasure, Mom. Please, follow me." Elena walked around, gesturing and explaining every detail on the path.

So, Ling Qingyu's groups followed Elena's guidance where the latter explained the materials' limit, providing examples so that layman like Ling Qingyu could understand.

Because the submarine was huge and they hadn't arrived, Elena described more vividly and in detail about the specifications and data, obtained beforehand, answering questions, particularly, asked by Tang Ziyi.

Of course, the eyes of Ling Qingyu, Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue moved up and down Elena's figure. They couldn't help but smack their lips whenever they wondered how a machine felt so alive. Terminators on the loose?

In fact, Elena indeed did speak about what she knew. Advanced Biomimetic skin-like materials, which were utilized in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, on the surface of Elena.

Inside, were mechanisms and small gears that ran the entire frame. Usually, robots were designed as crawlers or wheels for maximum efficiency since humanoid structures consumed huge power.

But the breakthrough came from the type of powerplant, which Elena had no idea at the moment. Further research could lead to a new groundbreaking discovery in the field of robotics.

Whew, fortunately, Elena wasn't a liquid version, Ling Qingyu thought. Else, she had no idea how to converse normally with the Sub Captain.

The other girls in her group addressed Elena as Captain. Azi was noncommittal about the titles. Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue pretended in front of Azi. Both parties were actually nieces and aunts. Elena also played along with curls on her lips, enjoying the rare moment of accompaniment.

Ling Qingyu realized the difference between the interiors of the submarine in the movies and hers. The compartment space was ample and gave no feeling of congestion. Ling Qingyu wondered if the spacing was too much for a military submarine.

Elena quickly noticed Ling Qingyu's strange expression, inquired the problems and answered the latter's doubt. It turned out that for psychological comfort and health, the arrangements had a purpose, no different from the world-class cruise ship.

Elena showed off the dining hall as large as the huge restaurants on the ground, along with the automated kitchen. There were cleaning robots, patrolling the area.

"Wait, why aren't there people?" Azi asked. "I haven't met any crews."

"Because the ship is totally autonomous, we don't need anyone but a brain," answered Elena.

"Woah! Then, you…aren't you lonely, Captain Elena?"

"I am and that's why I like your company."

Next, they arrived at a gym, a large one too. A small football fields, basketball fields, tennis, table tennis, volleyball and billiards…etc Heck, there was a swimming pool too.

There were also man-made beaches and grasslands equipped with holographic projects to replicate real-life holidays, including the sun. So many efficient space was wasted to tackle the submarine's population's health.

Four girls exchanged shock as they witnessed the lavishness of the submarine. Hello, this wasn't an underwater cruise ship but a submarine equipped with terrifying weapons.

Elena ignored the group's reaction and continued introducing more decks and compartments.

When another secure compartment with locks and a few containment mechanisms appeared, Ling Qingyu's group of women felt dizzy. Elena smiled at their reaction and stepped to the side, to display what was inside after the door opened.

All sorts of vegetables and fruits were planted in a process called artificial farming, under the treatment of a special light above. Potatoes, tomatoes, onions…etc. Everyone saw several robots nurturing plants with care and precision.

"What's going on?" Tang Ziyi asked.

"It's just what you thought. Welcome to our artificial farming, we don't need to transport food from outside. We're self-sufficient." Elena said with a smirk.

"Damn." Xiao Yue cursed for the first time, attracting Tang Ziyi's and Ling Qingyu's gaze. "What? Can't I also have a surprise?"

The duo ignored and returned their stares to Elena, who shrugged and walked in. Biotechnology to the fullest in terms of agriculture and food.

"We have everything here for carbohydrates and vitamins. Let's move on to the next." Elena continued.

"Don't tell me, my dear, that you already consider protein intakes for people." Ling Qingyu sighed.

"Mom, you're so good." Elena complimented. The other dove into speechless mode and kept pace with numb faces.

Now another compartment consisted of glass walls, with several open fields inside to house chickens, ducks, cows, and pigs. The environment was carefully crafted to suit the animals' moods and health. Ling Qingyu's group of girls felt their knees weakened from the sheer scale of sight. The poultry was included in the submarine, someone must be dreaming.

As for how the animals were handled during harsh maneuvers and sudden movements, the answer belonged to the autonomous robots, which reacted to any situation. These must be black-technologies, Ling Qingyu pushed aside those curiosities.

"Dear, your surprise is too much. Let me take a rest." Ling Qingyu said. The others nodded quickly, their eyes filled with misery and blame at Elena's inexplicable bragging behavior.

"It's alright, Mom. If you cannot walk, we also have electric chariots to move to and fro for a great distance." As soon as her words ended, the sound of wheels rolling against the metal floor resounded along with the whirling of an electric engine.

Tang Ziyi, Xiao Yue, Azi and Ling Qingyu collapsed. Despite Elena's innocent appearance, she seemed more like a devil, torturing their mindsets.

Perhaps to cure their distraught, Elena sped up her explanation and moved to the next scene. She didn't forget to introduce insect farms to obtain pure protein with minimal waste. Realistically, insects were likely consumed most of the time while other animal meat was supplemented a few times a week for psychological fulfillment.

Furthermore, the submarine could also recharge its logistics when it rested on some harbors and imported necessary items. So, although the submarine could operate continuously without surfacing again, no captain would drive the sub in this manner unless demanded.

Fortunately, the next show moved to rooms for the submarine's population. The expected claustrophobic dormitory didn't appear; instead, the room was no different from hotel service, each with its bathroom and toilet. There were many such rooms, reaching about 700.

If it weren't for the 'unnecessary' sports fields and farmlands, Ling Qingyu reckoned more people, perhaps another two thousand, would fit in the submarine despite risking possible unhealthy mental depression.

Elena patted her chest at the next destination. A complete set of mini-factorys, along with 3D printers, to manufacture robots, missiles, railgun shells, torpedoes, CPUs and underwater mining machinery was unveiled to everyone. All relevant technologies were stored in the submarine database, which was obviously now shared between Elena and Athena.

Since everyone suffered shock and awe effects, they were already desensitized, so much so that four of them didn't react. Inside, the girls were screaming nonstop.

The submarine could be regarded as another world, self-sufficient. Ling Qingyu clicked her tongue. "I don't know whether this submarine is combat-effective but it sure serves as a damn arkship, in case of an apocalyptic event."

"Yes, Mom. Even if the world came under nuclear threat, my ship is the safest!" Elena guaranteed. "Look at the mining tools, anything can be made here. If I say here is the second safest, no one dared to mention the first."
