Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1649 Marco Polo's Best Friend

With a gust of wind, Akashi, with his ship suit deployed, stopped in front of Lin Lan, panting.

"Akashi, it's rare to see you so positive."

Lin Lan put down the observer in his arms and cast a speculative look at the green-haired kitten.

"Of course not, meow. Commander is going out, I must protect him, meow!"

When Lin Lan heard Mingshi's righteous reasons, she was so angry that she laughed:
“Others don’t understand you, so why should I not understand you?

"If there were no business opportunities, you would be so active. Tell me, are you eyeing the supplies at the Experimental Agency's base?"

As if what he said hit the mark, Akashi's round face froze, but he twitched his cat ears, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and begged him in a cute and coquettish voice:

"Even if you don't want the Siren supplies, I'll go with you meow. I'm also a researcher at the port, so I can definitely help meow!"

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Lin Lan always feels that something is wrong when the little profiteer begs for help from others.

But thinking that Akashi and Yubari were indeed the core technical development ship girls of the Sakura Empire, he nodded and agreed to Akashi:

"Well, I haven't assigned you any tasks today anyway. I'm not too sure if I leave you in the temporary port, so come with us."

After getting his consent, Akashi jumped up and cheered happily as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Just like that, Lin Lan brought the girls onto the floating battleship, and with the observer as the pilot AI, they sailed towards the experimental agency base.

After successfully passing through the mirror sea, Lin Lan saw through the screen in the navigation room that the sea water that had originally receded had re-covered the vast lowlands overnight.

This means that the Tide King Court Sea Festival Ceremony has officially ended and everything will return to normal.

The sea routes between the main coastal cities and the sea capital in the southern part of the Teaching Country have finally been restored, and many merchant ships and fishing boats have set sail on the endless blue sea.

Fortunately, the observers had anticipated all this and had activated the optical camouflage module of the floating battleship before sailing out of the Sardinian mirror sea.

"Commander, looking at this situation, if we really want to set off and return to Iris tomorrow, we still have to take a floating battleship."

The little Iris Knight with white hair and black highlights looked at the big screen unyieldingly, thinking and making a suggestion for him.

Walkerlan, who was holding a pointed iris lance as a walking stick, also laughed and said to him with emotion:

"Our port's scientific research and technology have made great progress. We never dared to imagine that we could have a flying giant like this before."

Hearing this, Lin Lan, who was asked by the Empire to help comb her hair, did not stop her movements and asked Walkerlan, recalling:

"That's not right. I remember that you Iris used to have the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse mechas that could fly and fight in the sky. Can't those big guys carry people?"

"Of course not! Commander, are you stupid?"

Walkerlin made a face at him and explained the reason immediately:

"I remember Lord Clemenceau once said that the Apocalypse Four Horsemen mechas mainly rely on iris magic as energy and the magic cube as the carrier engine.

"Being able to fight in low-altitude airspace is already the limit of those mechas. If our ships stand on them and use their ship armor to fire, they will crash directly due to the recoil caused by the ship armor!"

After Walkerland finished speaking, the observer sitting in front of the screen console in the navigation room also chuckled and interrupted with a playful tone:

"The larger the flying object, the more likely it is to become a live target for carrier-based aircraft and anti-aircraft guns. Apart from using magic cube energy, there is no other energy source to supply energy consumption for ships and vehicles operating in the airspace of Anticus. "Not to mention the high-level Anticus ship-mounted flight modules, even the simplest mass-produced floating frigates all use magic cube array technology. "

When the barefoot white-haired little loli Antix said this, Helena meta chuckled:
"If it weren't for your earlier technical blockade of the various factions in the port area, they would have already developed these cutting-edge cube technologies."

"Well, that's all for their own good. If the cube technology develops too fast, it will attract X. Don't you, Ember, know this better than us?"

Seeing that the topic was getting further and further away, the observer and Helena meta seemed to be arguing again, Lin Lan quickly said:

"Let's not talk about these old things for now. Observer, what is the specific situation of the Gate Network Node? Have you done any testing after activating it?"

"We haven't conducted any live transmission tests yet, but the data from the virtual signal transmission instrument shows that it's functioning normally, so there won't be any problems."

As he expected, the observer had not yet conducted any live teleportation tests.

Helena meta heard the observer's answer and comforted him as if she had it all figured out:
"Commander, since the data displayed by Antix's virtual signal transmission device is fine, there is basically no need to worry about any danger in the transmission process.

“The essence of the door network built with semi-permanent micro-layered mixture is the regional space folding using the node exit magic cube device.

"As long as the virtual signal goes back and forth normally, it is equivalent to the two spaces being connected, and the possibility of accidents is infinitely close to zero."

He actually understood Black Sea Mother's series of explanations and popular science.

But Walkerlan and Buqu both looked confused, as if they didn't know what was going on.

That's true. After all, the Iris Ship Girls need the help of the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls even for the maintenance of their ship equipment, so it is really difficult for them to understand all this.

Knowing that there would be basically no accidents in the Gate Network transmission, Lin Lan also focused his thoughts on the ship girls in the Iris temporary port area:
"Speaking of which, Empire, why did Raphael and the others suddenly go to the Iris Temporary Port?"

He remembered that in addition to the iron-blooded aid fleet led by Frederick Karl and Alvette, the Sardinian Empire's only maritime legend, the late-model UP41 battleship Raphael, also led a Sardinian fleet stationed in the Iris temporary port area.

The Sardinian ship girls who were absent from the homecoming party include the green-haired submarine girl Major Baraka, and the contrastingly cute light cruiser girl swordsman Bartolomeo who looks serious but has a "paper defense".

As well as Haitian's best friend who shares the same ideals as Alfredo, the young reporter, and Vincenzo, the lively little lolita's sister on the same ship as her, Giosué, a literary girl with a quiet personality.

Sitting in the chair in the navigation room, the Sardinian aircraft carrier girl, who was enjoying his light brown curly hair, thought for a moment and replied concisely:

"It's all Marco Polo's fault."

Well, with just those few words from Empire, Lin Lan understood everything.

Just like when he met Tianying and others fighting alongside Flandre in the main city of Cardeven before.

The letter left by Marco Polo, which was very easy to be misunderstood, scared Veneto and Richelieu.

Coupled with the Category V threat and arbitration agency that were rampant in the Church Country at the time, the two major camps had to urgently begin a joint search for Marco Polo's whereabouts.

But when he thought of this, he keenly discovered that something was wrong.

“It’s normal that others don’t understand Marco Polo.

"But as Marco Polo's best friend, Clemenceau should be able to see that the 'God' that Marco Polo is referring to in this letter is me, right?"
