The Cloud Whale was already enormous. When the project was first green-lit, some experts had suggested taking small steps—building a smaller vessel first, and then a larger one only after successful trials.
But Jiang Cai'Er felt time was of the essence, and with a measure of confidence, she had gone straight for the large model. It was over 3,000 meters long. Keep in mind, a peacetime Ford-class aircraft carrier was only about 333 meters long with a deck width of 78 meters. The Cloud Whale was more than ten times the size of a Ford-class carrier.
Under normal operating conditions, it would have a crew of around sixty thousand. But if used temporarily as a transport ship, it could carry up to three hundred thousand people in a single trip.
As it turned out, it was still too small.
A mass migration of twenty million people would require nearly seventy round trips.
Li Xiang's Otherworldly Warehouse was vast, but unfortunately, it was unsuitable for transporting living people.
