Chapter 95 Rear Admiral Fuliand And The Poseidon 001
Arlan and Winter headed to the location of the Extinction-Class battleship via helicopter. The journey was more than an hour, but Arlan didn't feel bored the entire time. He was taking pictures and videos of the scenery below them. He wanted to show them to his parents when they return to Metropolitan Manila.
After over an hour of flight, a massive ship finally came into view. From Arlan's estimates, the ship was about 260 meters in length and with a beam of about 60 meters. It was carrying ten assault helicopters and two fighter jets.
"What kind of helicopters are those?" Arlan asked.
"Those are AH-64 Apache helicopters. At this moment, this model is considered as the most powerful assault helicopter in the world. Of course, it still fell short compared to the Black Dragon Assault Helicopter you are planning to build. As for the fighter jets, those are F-22 Raptors." Surprisingly, Winter gave him a long explanation.
Hearing this, Arlan was stunned. 'I claimed a battleship and got ten assault helicopters and two fighter jets as a bonus?'
Suddenly, they heard a static noise from the radio communicator. "I am Rear Admiral Dexendius Fuliand, the captain of Poseidon 001. You are about to fly over our aerial territory and I am giving you a warning not to go closer to the ship." A powerful voice could be heard over the radio.
Arlan was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't believe that there were actually people inside the battleship as well. "Hello, Admiral Fuliand! I am Arlan Dominic Roa, the owner of the battleship! Please allow our helicopter to land on the ship!" He responded in a calm voice.
Winter gave him a look, but she didn't say anything.
"So it's Mr. Roa! Please pardon my offense!" The person over the radio immediately replied.
And so, Winter safely landed the helicopter on the ship. When they jumped down, six people came to greet them. The person leading them was a man who looked to be in his sixties. He was wearing a white and gold decorated uniform with 2 silver stars and a silver anchor on his black insignia.
"Greetings, Mr. Roa!" The six people greeted him and gave him a salute.
"I believe you are Rear Admiral Fuliand." Arlan smiled at the old navy admiral. This person was an inch taller than Arlan. Although he didn't have a muscular body or a ferocious face, he looked calm and stable like an unbreakable mountain.
Rear Admiral Fuliand smiled at Arlan and took the initiative to shake his hands. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Roa!" He said before he introduced the people behind him. They were the officers of the ship.
"It's an honor to meet you, everyone." Arlan muttered. He also introduced Winter to them, but he didn't elaborate on her identity.
"Mr. Roa, please let me give you a tour around the ship." Rear Admiral Fuliand said with a 'this way' gesture.
"Alright." This was what Arlan came here for so he readily agreed. They followed the admiral and his officers all around the ship.
According to Rear Admiral Fuliand, the battleship had over two thousand four hundred crew members and all of them were the elites of the Tostrion Navy, the most powerful navy in a world called Nolvora.
When Arlan heard that they were actually from another world, he was flabbergasted. He was only a high school graduate so he didn't know the concept of space or galaxy.
He tried to ask them about how they were transported to his planet, but for some reason, he couldn't hear the words they were saying. It's like there was a force that prevented him from learning the truth.
Arlan finally realized how godlike the mysterious app was. It could actually summon people from another world! This made him believe that there was a god out there overlooking the entire universe.
Arlan tried to ask more questions about their world, but he was again met with the same restrictions.
Suddenly, Arlan's phone vibrated. It was a notification from the mysterious app.

The words were written in red print and it made Arlan feel a bit nervous so he stopped asking them questions that would trigger the restrictions.
The Poseidon 001 was powered by four nuclear reactors and it also has another energy source which was a hydrogen fusion reactor. The energy consumption of the battleship was enormous because of its highly advanced engine. Not to mention its energy weapons that required massive amounts of energy to fire.
To Arlan, this information was like alien language and if not for Winter's explanation, he wouldn't be able to understand even a portion of it.
The tour around the ship took more than three hours. Arlan was bored the entire time, but he knew that he had to learn more about the ship.
"Mr. Roa, I suggest that you buy the seven small islands near our ship. This is to prevent anyone from going near the ship. We can also activate the ship's stealth mode to hide it from the satellites and the aircraft that would pass by this area." Rear Admiral Fuliand suggested.
"I will work on it. For now, you should activate the ship's stealth mode to hide from the ship from prying eyes. Don't let anyone suspicious get near the ship and if they ignore your warnings, destroy them!" Arlan muttered in a cold voice. The government would certainly suspect him if he would buy all seven islands, but he didn't have a choice.
"If the upper echelons of Maharlika's government learn about the presence of this ship, they will send the navy to attack it. I think it's time for you to enter the political world to prevent this from happening." Winter added.
Hearing this, Arlan felt a huge headache. He didn't think that claiming a battleship would actually bring him so many problems. "Do I really have to?"
"You don't necessarily need to become an official. You just need to help someone become the President and strike favorable deals for yourself." Winter explained.
