21st Century Necromancer

The original design of the Kiev-rank was to accommodate one thousand five hundred to one thousand seven hundred crew members, so after installing a plethora of weapon systems and necessary equipment, the internal space is indeed cramped.

But as a yacht, it obviously doesn't require that many people.

Moreover, modern ship control systems can fully achieve operation of this giant ship with a small number of crew members, so naturally, it doesn't require as many personnel.

And with a significant reduction in personnel, it naturally frees up enough space inside the cabins, combined with the reduction of numerous militarized designs, and the use of modern ship technology, advanced by decades, to redesign and plan the internal structure, making the ship's interior spacious enough to accommodate luxurious main cabins, and various other lavish amenities.

"Do you need the main cabin to have a viewing window or balcony? According to the original military design drawings, circular portholes were used, which are rarely adopted in luxury yachts or cruise ships." The designer asked Chen Yu about these requirements.

After all, luxury yachts and cruise ships emphasize the comfort of use and don't consider protection issues, so they can be made large, or simply floor-to-ceiling windows.

But it's different for warships, taking into account the overall protective performance of the warship, the cabin portholes are small and round, only serving the purpose of ventilation.

Chen Yu was somewhat interested in this and couldn't help asking, "The hull should be almost finished now, right? Can this still be changed?"

"In fact, yes, we considered this issue when building, so currently the steel plates for the porthole parts haven't been installed, whether you need a viewing balcony or the original small portholes won't affect." Said the engineer from the Admiralty Shipyard.

Although building ships in this manner is quite troublesome, as long as they can make the United States spend unlimited money, naturally, money talks, and they have no issue complying with any requests.

Chen Yu thought for a moment, then consulted Jounouchi Hiromi's opinion, and said, "Install portholes, but install the largest size, and also make a viewing balcony outside the main cabin for me."

"Alright, everything will be according to your wishes." The designer and the engineer nodded together, Chen Yu's demands were not troublesome at all, and they were naturally happy to oblige.

Chen Yu nodded indifferently, for him, this ship is merely a whimsical hobby and collection, so he wants to maintain the appearance identical to the original military ship as much as possible.

For Chen Yu, if what he needed was a luxury cruise, he could have the United States build him a luxury cruise directly, and wouldn't need to go through the Russians to build a warship.

As one item after another was confirmed by Chen Yu, the designers and engineers breathed a sigh of relief.

The cost of building an aircraft carrier is not cheap, for the Admiralty Shipyard this is a big order that could fill their stomachs, so they naturally pay special attention.

Coupled with the attention from the Russian government, the pressure on the designers and engineers can only be imagined.

And the unresolved details have brought a lot of trouble to the construction and completion of the ship, now being able to finalize these last details is undoubtedly a thing worth celebrating for them.

Just as they finished discussing this, and the senior levels of the Admiralty Shipyard were planning to arrange a dinner party, someone suddenly came in and whispered something into the ear of a Russian official.

The official's expression changed, and after confirming several times with the person who came in, he walked up to Chen Yu and whispered, "Mr. Chen Yu, Mr. Andrei hopes to speak with you personally, he has arrived in Saint Petersburg."

"Andrei? Looks like the Great Emperor has made his decision." Chen Yu laughed, the person he was waiting for had arrived.noveldrama

In the hotel restaurant, Andrei still wore an old Soviet military uniform, but compared to before, after Chen Yu cured his old ailment, he looked much more rosy, with his previously sickly appearance now showing a touch of Slavic good looks.

Yet, the charming eyebrows of Andrei furrowed into a knot, as he anxiously stirred the coffee before him, pondering how to persuade Chen Yu to agree to the transaction proposed by Russia.

For Chen Yu, the transaction proposed by Russia, trading warships for his summoning of Demigods, holds actually no attraction.

Two old ships in exchange for four Demigods, for Russia this is undoubtedly a highly profitable deal, but for Chen Yu, there really isn't anything that would allow him to benefit from it.

Even Andrei himself couldn't convince himself to believe that Chen Yu could gain anything from this transaction.

Indeed, in this transaction, Russia sacrificed The Fulongzhi and Aurora, but the problem is that these two old warships are really not valuable.

Even if Chen Yu could summon new Demigods through them, it wouldn't hold any significance for him.

Although Chen Yu declared to the outside world that he had only eight Demigods summoned through warships under his command, in fact, all countries knew that Chen Yu's forces definitely consist of more than eight Demigod-level combat powers.

The most obvious evidence is his wife, Jounouchi Hiromi, in the intelligence obtained by various countries before, this woman was supposed to be at most Legendary-rank, but now she has become a powerful Demigod capable of transforming into a giant dragon.

This already speaks volumes, but what truly made various countries understand the kind of power Chen Yu wields is when they sent personnel to probe the World War II shipwrecks after learning Chen Yu could summon Demigods through old warships.

During World War II, major participating nations had warships that were sunk, the location of these sunken ships is secret to ordinary people but crystal clear to the navies of various countries.

So when these countries combed through these wrecks, and found that many historically famous warships had disappeared, and Chen Yu just happened to have a few of them around him, the truth was no longer hard to guess.

Countries estimated preliminarily that if it wasn't the enormous cost limiting Chen Yu from summoning Demigods keeping the number of Demigods around him in check, then he is merely hiding a considerable portion of his Demigod combat power.

It is calculated that Chen Yu should have at least five more Demigods by his side, and this is only the most conservative estimate.

Having over a dozen readily available and well-conditioned Demigods is a huge military deterrent to countries worldwide.

So the Russian intelligence personnel, after analyzing all the data, concluded that having two more Demigods under his command is truly inconsequential to Chen Yu.

Russia needs to present something genuinely moving to persuade this powerful being who can no longer be regarded as an ordinary Demigod.

Fortunately, the former Russian Empire had left quite a bit of valuable heritage, among which was an item, and it now resides with Andrei.
