He is the commander and the admiral.

With mixed feelings, Enterprise META set out for the world coordinates where Roger was, began planning for the next contact, and mentally prepared to do some related things.

Chapter 364 Simulation Test

"Actually, I haven't tried this yet, or haven't officially started research and testing, so I can't give you the answer you want."

When faced with the question asked by Enterprise META, Helena META shook her head and replied: "After all, the current situation of my Mind Cube is completely different from the past. After it has been meta-ized, trying to activate the power of the Mind Cube like they did, whether it will be the original power or the meta-ized power, this issue is still under study, and the commander is very cautious about all this."

"So you haven't tried this yet."

After getting this result, Enterprise META suddenly felt a little regretful. They had thought that the matter could be easily resolved, but they did not expect that the result would be completely different from what they had imagined.

"Well, after all, the commander has a lot of things to consider, so there is no particular rush to proceed with these things, especially now that the Sirens won't do anything. If there is nothing particularly urgent, the commander won't be too anxious to deal with such things, so I can't say for sure when it will be."

Helena META felt the same way about this situation. In her eyes, this matter was not something that needed to be rushed. Now she was enjoying this peaceful daily life and the little ambiguity between her and Roger during this period. But the next step was to find an opportunity to get things done.

And the matter regarding the Mind Cube was not something she needed to consider.

But Enterprise META couldn't think like that. Even if she felt there were many problems, she couldn't say anything, right? In terms of relationship, she had no relationship with Roger.

"Right now, it seems like you don't have anything to worry about, right? There's no need to rush to deal with things like this. If it's for the enemies, the commander is also preparing for it."

Helena META looked at Enterprise META's face and pondered over the current problems. Roger had already started to take action, so all she had to do was wait and see.

“I just wonder if I can solve this problem on my own.”

"Really? You're planning to activate the power of the Mind Cube without relying on the Commander?"

Helena META understood the other party's thoughts, and she also knew what the other party's companions were thinking, so it was understandable that she would think about this situation.

"But it is really difficult to succeed in this by relying on one's own strength, especially for us now. The Mind Cube needs the power of hope, not some bad negative emotions."

Listening to what Helena META said, Enterprise META also understood what she wanted to say, but even so, it would not be so easy to change her current thoughts.

"I'll think about this carefully."

Enterprise META nodded slightly and replied, but whether they would really do so was completely unknown. Helena META also saw this, but she could only watch it. After all, matters in this regard could only be determined by the thoughts of the parties involved. Changing the minds of these people now would not be achieved with just a few words, unless something could move them.

"Helena META... huh? When did you get here?"

Roger, who came here at this time, was slightly surprised to see the corporate META that appeared here.

"She just arrived. Commander, what's the matter?"

Helena META explained briefly and then asked Roger what he wanted to see her about.

"Oh, it's about arranging an inspection. Observer Alpha said they can start to try to activate your Mind Cube to see if this can cause any impact or harm to you. After all, there are a lot of videos to come, so I've asked them to help deal with this matter now."

Roger's explanation also attracted Enterprise META's attention, and Helena META took a look at it, then nodded slightly to show that she understood.

"Commander, Enterprise META also wants to know more about this matter, so can she participate and watch from the sidelines?"

"Sure, it's not something shameful or secret."

Roger agreed without thinking, he also understood that this was the purpose of Enterprise META coming here, so he had no reason to refuse. When he brought the two of them to Observer α, she was slightly stunned when she saw Enterprise META coming here with them.

"Huh? Why are you here too? Have you decided to join in?"

"α, she's here to take a look at the next Mind Cube research inspection on Helena META. I've already agreed, so let's get started as soon as possible."

Roger explained on behalf of META Enterprise that he was aware of the relationship between the two parties. Rather than allowing any conflicts to arise during communication, it would be better for him to explain the situation and get things started as soon as possible to divert the attention of both parties.

"Well, since you have already agreed to this matter, I won't say anything more. Just lie down."

Observer α did not intend to continue talking to Enterprise META, but instead began to carry out the next research experiment while letting Helena META lie on the platform.

"I have made this device based on the previous data. It can simulate the same frequency of emotional data as you, Commander. As long as it is input into the Mind Cube, it will also produce a reaction. However, since it is a machine, I will not say much about its effect. After all, this kind of thing is only made to test the other party's safety. There is nothing special about it."

While Observer α was explaining, Helena META, who was lying on the platform, began to be stuck with data cables. This scene made Enterprise META feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she knew that this situation was different from before, so she suppressed her emotions to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Now, the first round of the adaptive experiment between the Mind Cube and META is about to begin, and data input will begin."

As Observer α pressed the button, the data cable connected to Helena META began to light up.

Chapter 365 Smile of Hope

As the crowd watched nervously, Helena META, who was lying on the platform, showed no expression on her face, as if it was just like usual.

"You don't feel anything?"

Observer Alpha asked, and all the data showed that everything was normal, which made people feel relaxed, but she couldn't be sure that there was no problem at all.

"I don't feel anything. At most, I feel a warmth in my chest, and... huh? "

Helena META, who had a relaxed expression on her face, suddenly frowned. She felt that the Mind Cube was beginning to show some resistance, and the feeling was getting stronger.

Observer α also noticed this situation and stopped without any hesitation. As the instrument stopped, the light on the data cable connected to Helena META also disappeared.

"What happened just now?"

Roger came to Observer Alpha and asked.

"It seems like there is a rejection reaction, which is probably the influence of META."

Observer Alpha analyzed the result and said, "After all, her mind cube has already undergone an irreversible transformation. If she wants to restore the original state and power, she may have to change the mind cube again. However, there is a high probability that this process will lead to a collapse or something like that."

"Does that mean there is no way out?"

Enterprise META frowned after hearing this. Such a result was somewhat unacceptable to her. Now she could only hope that Observer α could find a way to resolve this situation.

"I'm still not sure. This is the first time I've studied this. It's a pipe dream to expect an answer right away, unless I'm doing it recklessly."

Observer Alpha shook his head and replied, how could she give an immediate answer to such a thing? Especially when conducting research under such circumstances where no risks could be taken, it was even more impossible.

After listening to Observer α's words, Enterprise META also understood that what she said was true, so it could only proceed slowly in this way when looking for its own research.

"So you want to stay for a while?"

After taking off all the data cables from Helena META, Roger asked Enterprise META, after all, researching this kind of thing is never a one- or two-day thing, if the other party really wants to keep an eye on this aspect, then staying is inevitable.

"sorry to bother you."

Enterprise META nodded slightly. For now, she could only stay and watch for the time being. After all, she left halfway and didn't see the whole process, so she couldn't feel at ease.

"So she's not here to join in."

When Enterprise META met with everyone, they also understood that the other party was only staying here temporarily and would leave when META's problem was solved.

Enterprise META looked at the ship girls from different camps gathered in front of her. When such a situation really appeared before her eyes, she was still a little touched. This world really did something that the previous worlds had not done.

"But Commander, I think that in the current situation, even if it is due to the problem of meta-ization, it can't exert its original strength like us, then it's okay, right? After all, if we can do it, wouldn't it be good?"

Dafeng really didn't understand such a thing. Whether it succeeded or failed, it was an attempt that would not have any impact on them. So what was the point in continuing the research?

"Normally, this is indeed the case, but no matter what, this is also to understand the problem of META and figure out the relationship between META and the Mind Cube. It is also a necessary research. After all, if there is a way to fully understand something that makes people feel unknown, it will also be a reassuring thing, isn't it?"

"Is that so? Commander, are you doing this for Taiho?"

Dafeng was so touched and happy that she completely ignored the so-called other people and took Roger's kindness completely upon herself. The others were used to it. They just needed to ignore it and were too lazy to say anything about the other party's imagination.

After temporarily settling down in Enterprise META, she had originally planned to stay here alone, but this did not happen in the end. Faced with the invitations from her former partners, she wanted to refuse, but her refusal had little effect, and she was still taken around the port area for various shopping and sightseeing.

Even though she didn't participate very actively, it didn't affect the emotions of others, and they still had a lot of fun.

And after finally being liberated, when one person just sat down on a chair to rest, another person also sat down with her.

"Ha~ It seems like you had a very fulfilling day today. How do you feel?"

Roger, who was holding Little North who was eating ice cream, looked at Enterprise META and saw that their faces looked a little tired, but he didn't know whether it was physically or mentally tired.

"I'm not used to it... Things like this are hard for me to adapt to now."

After going through so much, being in the port area with her friends and enjoying ordinary daily life like this was not only a dream but also a little uncomfortable for her.

"Really? But you should enjoy this for a bit and feel the joy of being with your companions again. It will also help you relax a lot, right? After all, if you keep immersing yourself in bad thoughts and the past, sooner or later you will not be able to hold on. After all, you were not born to be like this. If you keep being like that, it will completely go against the original intention of creating you."

Roger looked at the profile of Enterprise META. Compared with the Enterprise on his side, this cold and weathered expression was really distressing.

Although her expression now looked very tired and uncomfortable, it was also obvious that she really liked and enjoyed doing things like this with her friends. It was just that she hadn't done this for too long and was a little overwhelmed for the moment.

"I hope that one day I can see that hopeful smile on your face again."

“…I’ll try this.”

Chapter 366 I will take good care of you from now on

In this way, during the following period of time, with the help of everyone, Enterprise META gradually adapted to the situation here. Although she still felt that returning to this daily life was not a good thing for her, she also couldn't refuse it.

"How's she doing lately? Enterprise."

"It's okay. I can already see some changes. I feel like my current state is a worse version of my past self."

Enterprise, standing at the window with Roger, looked at Enterprise META being dragged around by Bumblebee. As for who could perceive the changes in the other party, there is no doubt that Enterprise, as they are the same person, is the one who knows it best.

"But Commander, are you doing this because you want her to stay with us?"

As for what is being done to the enterprise META now, the enterprise believes that this is to enable the other party to integrate into the port area, otherwise it can't think of any other reason.

"I have this idea. After all, now that I have some free time, I am also very concerned about where they are usually and what they are doing."

These things are what Roger couldn't help but think about. Judging from the situation, their world has been destroyed now, right? What kind of place they live in under such circumstances is also a bit worrying.

From Helena's META description, he also learned a little about the situation in the world over there. Both the sky and the sea had lost their original colors. The sky was replaced by a dim color, and the sea was covered with a layer of dark red liquid. At the same time, the debris left over from past battles could be seen everywhere.

Just by listening to such a description, you can imagine how bad the environment is.

After Enterprise understood the reason for Roger's concern, he continued, "So is there anything special that needs to be done about this?"

"No, just let her live here like usual. Besides, she is not completely alone now. There are other companions waiting for her. If we do something special, it will seem too deliberate. It will make the other party think that we have a purpose."

Roger just wanted to let the other party have a more suitable place to live after everything was over, or at least leave that bad place and start a new life.

"By the way, there is still no result from the research on α side?"

"Still no. She is even thinking about whether she should just switch to a mind cube, thinking it would be easier and simpler this way."

"Change the mind cube? Are you kidding me?"

Roger was a little stunned when he heard this. Could this Mind Cube be exchanged? This was the first time he heard that this thing could be exchanged.

"This is just a metaphor from the other party. It just shows how difficult this kind of thing is. Besides, it is actually impossible to replace the mind cube."

Once something like the Mind Cube is taken out of the body, there is almost no need to think about what the consequences will be. Even if Observer Alpha is stupid, he would not be that stupid.

"Then I'll leave things here to you."

"Are you going to Iron Blood?"

After listening to Roger's instructions, Enterprise also understood the situation. After all, most of the ship girls have already activated the power of the Mind Cube, and only the Iron Blood has not yet. However, when he thought of those guys in Iron Blood, Enterprise couldn't help but worry. Is there really no problem with those guys?

After all, people like Prinz Eugen and Hipper are considered to be the better ones among the Iron Bloods, but if we really talk about other Iron Bloods ship girls, it is inevitable that people will be a little worried.

"At least I won't be in too much danger. After all, I'm not saying I'm completely unprotected. Besides, they have no reason to do that."

With Frederick the Great by his side, Roger believed that most of the problems could be solved. In fact, there was a high probability that things that she couldn't solve would not occur.

"That would be best."

Enterprise nodded slightly. If that was the case, then it would be the best thing to do. However, if possible, she still thought it would be better for Roger not to go to Iron Blood. But she couldn't stop this.

Before leaving, Roger also had a chat with the enterprise META.

"I will be leaving for Iron Blood for a while soon. If you want to know about the research problems during this period, just ask Alpha. At the same time, you can also explain some of the situations to your META partners. If they are willing to come and relax a little, that's fine. I believe they will also want to see their companions."

"I see. I will consider this matter."

Enterprise META nodded slightly to show that she understood. She knew that Roger did this to make the relationship between the two parties better, especially on the Kaohsiung META side. Compared with other people, her situation was obviously the most worthy of attention.

In the future, the two sides will have more and more opportunities to come into contact because of this Mind Cube issue. If Kaohsiung META remains like this, it will easily bring about some unnecessary problems.

However, Enterprise META has no idea how to do this specifically. After all, she can't even handle her own situation, let alone help others. But it's not that there is no one who can help her in this matter. Kaohsiung and Atago in this world can definitely provide some help.

"It's good if you have your own ideas. I don't need to worry too much."

Roger felt relieved when he saw this, and after arranging everything, he was ready to board the command ship and set off.

This time, no one was following the incident specifically. After all, everyone knew what would happen next. Therefore, only Prince Eugen and Hipper, the two iron-blooded ship girls, accompanied Roger.

"Commander, we will take good care of you in the coming period of time, and you also need to work hard."

Prince Eugen sat on Roger's lap and looked at him with a smile. She knew very well that in the next period of time, Roger might have a hard time, or he might have a comfortable life. However, what would happen specifically would depend on how he got along with the other Iron-Blooded Ship Girls.

Even if things are very bad, they will always be there for me.
