He is the commander and the admiral.

"So what do we need to do today?"

After drinking soup and eating some bread, Roger asked about today's itinerary. Aurora had already prepared for this and answered immediately after Roger asked.

"The relevant research data and information of the Mind Cube have been prepared. The next step is to conduct some related tests."

"I see, this makes me a little excited."

After hearing that this kind of research was going to be conducted, Roger became much more excited and followed Aurora to the destination room, where he could see Soviet Rossiya already waiting there.

"Then let's get straight to the point, Comrade Commander. Let me explain to you about the research on the Mind Cube."

"Ok."

Roger concentrated on not missing anything he heard next.

"As we analyzed and acquired more advanced technologies from the Siren's legacy technology, we were also gradually strengthening ourselves. As we gradually strengthened ourselves, we gradually discovered some problems in our Mind Cube, such as the upper limit problem mentioned earlier. We found that this problem seemed to have been added later, rather than originally existing."

"You mean someone has added restrictions to the Mind Cube, but that sounds incredible."

"Yes, that's true, but this is what we found. We then studied whether we could remove this restriction, but no matter how we tried, the final result ended in failure. And I don't know why every time I try to do something like this, there is always a feeling telling me not to do it."

This situation troubled Soviet Russia because not only was there no explanation for it, but there was also no direction or clues to investigate.

"Would it be dangerous to lift this restriction? But how do you explain the previous situation?"

When dealing with the Liquidators, Soviet Rossiya themselves said that their restrictions were lifted, but no problems arose. Why are they saying there will be problems now?

"This is the reason for you, comrade commander. If we personally want to lift the restrictions in this regard, it will obviously lead to some very bad consequences, just like forcibly opening a lock, which will cause something to happen. And you are like a key with this authority. Help us remove this key so that we can lift the restrictions safely and smoothly."

"I look like a key? But... this doesn't make sense, does it?"

Roger couldn't quite understand the reason, but then he thought of the data report that Soviet Rossiya had shown him before.

"Is it because of the compatibility with the Mind Cube?"

"Yes, this is probably the main reason. At least so far, no one's data has exceeded yours, Commander."

"But just because it has adaptability with the Mind Cube, it can bring about such a huge change. It's a bit incredible, right?"

"We are currently unable to learn more about the situation. If we want to know more, perhaps we can only thoroughly study the Mind Cube and obtain useful technology and other things from the Siren to understand it."

"makes sense."

Roger nodded and said, "So how do you plan to proceed with this aspect?"

"I heard from the commander before about the mental network problem with the Deep Sea Princess. I thought maybe we could try this method to simulate it. It would also make some changes between us. After all, we felt that there was something more between us and the commander at that time, so the restrictions were lifted. Therefore, we prepared this."

Soviet Rossiya pointed to the instrument beside him and said this. Various numerical symbols could be seen on the display screen.

"After sticking this on each of us, we can test our heart pulses and brain waves. I think when our spirits are close to each other to a certain extent, some changes may occur."

"But even so, it's still a little difficult to achieve similar results in the current situation, right?"

"Well, so our next plan is to wander outside and look for the Siren Fleet to try. Then we can put on the portable bracelet and test the relevant data."

Soviet Rossiya said as he picked up a black bracelet and put it on Roger's wrist, while also putting one on himself.

"In that case, let's give it a try."

Roger did not reject this proposal, and soon everyone set out from the port. After quickly finding a medium-sized Siren fleet, they immediately started a firefight. However, the situation during the whole process was very dull and ordinary, and did not bring any changes at all.

"Is it because the opponent's situation doesn't make us take it seriously, so it has no effect?"

"But if we change it to an opponent like the Clearer, it won't be that easy, right? Even if we take the initiative to look for it, we won't be able to find it at all."

For a while, everyone's attempts in this regard were blocked. With no clue at all, they could only return to the port and start thinking.

"Admiral..."

Xiao Beifang walked up to Roger with an uncomfortable expression and hugged him, looking very listless. He drank some vodka yesterday to join in the fun and ended up getting drunk. As a result, when he got up today, he still felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

"Who told you to be disobedient yesterday? You must be feeling bad now."

While Roger was preaching, he picked up Xiao Beifang and stroked her head. At the same time, he used the effect of the mental network, hoping to make her feel more comfortable. Doing so indeed made Xiao Beifang's expression feel a lot more comfortable.

At this time, Soviet Rossiya discovered that Roger's mental fluctuations became very active, and she also felt something vaguely. However, because the mental fluctuations at this time did not seem to have reached the highest level, the impact was not particularly great.

Chapter 183 Drink and get a reward

"Huh? You want me to try again using the mental network?"

Hearing this request, Roger's expression became a little confused. It was obvious that he didn't think that the mental network could have any connection with Soviet Rossiya and the others.

"Yes, I just detected a big fluctuation in your mental fluctuations, and this fluctuation also made me feel some influence. I think it is very likely that when you, Commander, used the mental network, your mind entered an active state, which enabled you to better establish some connection with us."

Soviet Rossiya expressed her own guess. She thought that perhaps it was because of this kind of mental activity that some special force field spread out when transmitting between the mental network of Deep Sea Princess, which caused the restrictions on the Mind Cube to be lifted when it came into contact with it.

"Well, it sounds like it's possible."

Roger pondered for a while, felt that this method was worth a try, and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's give it a try first."

After Roger agreed, he began to try it. As the effect of the mental network was bestowed on Xiao Beifang, Roger's spirit began to become active gradually. Similarly, Soviet Rossiya was able to feel more and more of the previous feeling appearing in his body, but the effect was still not ideal and did not achieve the expected result.

"No, Soviet Rossiya, your mental fluctuations are totally incapable of reaching the same level as Comrade Commander."

Aurora explained the situation.

"Is it impossible to achieve it? But it is almost impossible to reach the same level as Comrade Commander. And I believe that my mental state was not able to reach this level last time."

Soviet Rossiya thought about it. Although the attempt was now being conducted in the form of a simulated mental network, she was sure that in order to remove the restrictions of the Mind Cube, the mental requirements should be very low. But what was the problem in the current situation?

"It seems that if we don't figure out the situation, we won't be able to move on. Commander, please think carefully about the situation and see if you can find anything."

"Ha... Even if you say so, I can't think of anything right now."

Roger answered with a helpless expression. Thinking back on the situation at that time, there didn't seem to be anything special. He was just a little emotional.

"Really? It looks like we're in trouble again, but at least we're a little clearer now. By using the effect of the mental network, we can have some reactions between us. This is also a very good start."

Soviet Rossiya was not discouraged by this. If such a problem could be solved so quickly, then it would not have taken so long to study it. Now that they got results at the very beginning of the attempt, it was already a very gratifying situation.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Comrade Commander."

"Nothing. After all, there is nothing that would make people tired."

Roger shook his head. With the temporary end of work, everyone started to do other things. Roger, who had just sat down, saw Chapayev bringing him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Chapayev."

As a result, Roger just took a sip from the cup, and the next second his expression became complicated, because this cup looked like tea, but it was actually wine.

"Why did you give me this to drink?"

"Because I heard that Commander Harbor Princess seems to like drinking tea because of the Royal Ship Girls, so I mixed a cup of wine that looks very similar to tea. After all, don't you see that the color looks very much like oolong tea?"

After hearing this answer, Roger opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out. After all, looking at the other person's smile, he could feel that the other person seemed to do it this way on purpose.

"Besides, if the commander doesn't learn how to drink here, it will be difficult for him to do some things, such as what happened yesterday. After all, judging from the commander's reaction yesterday, he must have thought about it, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to get Tashkent drunk."

When Chapayev said this, Roger's expression became embarrassed. It was too shameful to say again the decision he made yesterday in a fit of rage. If possible, he would like to have a chance to do it all over again. In that case, he would never choose to do such a stupid thing.

"Stop saying such shameful things."

"Shame on you? We think it's a good thing to express your inner desires without covering up. Commander, you still can't get used to it. We don't mind you having such thoughts in your heart, because it's a very normal thing. If you express it boldly and straightforwardly, we will not only not think there is a problem, but will be very happy."

Aurora explained, hoping to make Roger understand that he didn't need to hide his thoughts too much when getting along with them.

“Hahaha… yeah… is that so? But it’s still hard for me to really do that.”

"Then drink more. That way you can face everything bravely and say whatever is in your heart."

Aurora said and placed a bottle of vodka in front of Roger.

"No, no, no... forget about getting drunk in the broad daylight!"

Roger looked at the vodka in front of him and waved his hands quickly. It was obvious that he was still not used to this situation.

"That's a pity. After all, I want to have a good drink with the Commander. If I drink a few more glasses, I might do something to the Commander."

Chapayev had a regretful expression on his face at this time, as if he had wanted to do something while drinking, which made Roger stunned after hearing it.

Seeing his expression, Chapayev raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then spoke with a hint of inquiry.

"So Commander, you really don't want to come for a drink? If I get drunk, I might do something special to you."

Chapayev bent down, and the whiteness of his chest was completely imprinted in Roger's sight, as if he was deliberately hinting something to him, making Roger's heart beat a little faster.

Aurora looked at what Chapayev did. Normally, she should have reminded the commander not to be fooled, but in a sense, that was what they wanted.

Chapter 184 This is to keep you by my side

"Do you think I'm still the same idiot who foolishly thought I could get you drunk?"

However, although Roger was attracted by the scenery before him, he was not to the point of losing his mind. After all, the drinking scene with Tashkent was still vivid in his mind.

"In that case, Commander, if you drink with me, I will give you a special reward after we finish drinking. How about that? This doesn't require you to get me drunk, it's easy, right?"

It does sound very easy, just drink with the other person, but the other person's smile made Roger feel that there was something wrong, and he even felt that the other person had some bad intentions.

Thinking back to when he first met Soviet Rossiya, she reminded him of Chapayev's dangerous situation, and his recent understanding of their relationship, Roger felt that it was very likely that if he got drunk by then, he would be put in chains or something like that.

"No, let's not do this kind of thing."

"Eh... I still refused."

Chapayev became a little distressed, and at the same time realized that it would be difficult to achieve his goal with the current means. After all, Roger now understood and understood some of the situations, and it was difficult to ask him to continue as she wished.

Roger looked at Chapayev with a sad expression, as if his behavior made him very sad. Even though he knew that the other party might have done it on purpose, he still felt guilty.

"Can you please not show that kind of expression in front of me? It's as if I did something to let you down."

"Isn't that so? I'm trying hard to keep the trust between the commander and me stable, but the commander doesn't want this. I feel like I've been let down."

Chapayev couldn't help but turn around so Roger couldn't see her face, and Roger didn't understand how drinking was related to the issue of trust? There seemed to be no special connection between the two, right?

Aurora, on the other hand, seemed to understand a little, and hesitated whether to say it or not. However, when she saw Chapayev looking at her, she chose to remain silent.

"No, no, no... I think you're exaggerating a little bit. I think it's a little unreasonable for you to feel that I let you down just because you didn't drink."

However, even after saying this, Chapayev remained silent and did not turn around, which made Roger very confused. He could not help but look at Aurora for help, hoping that she could provide some help in this matter.

Facing Roger's gaze, Aurora was very embarrassed. She definitely wanted to help him, but what Chapayev did was also for the development of the current relationship. Therefore, she was also in a dilemma as to what choice she should make.

"How about you just drink a little bit, comrade commander? That way you won't get drunk, and it won't make Chapayev sad, right?"

Aurora proposed a compromise, asking Roger to drink some, but not too much, and that it would be up to him to decide what would happen next. This would also help Chapayev with the beginning, and what would happen in the end would depend on her.

"Would you like a drink..."

Roger thought this was feasible. If he only drank a little, he wouldn't get drunk all of a sudden. This way he could meet Chapayev's requirements.

"Okay, I get it, but let's make it clear in advance that I'm just going to drink a little."

As soon as Roger let go, Chapayev turned around and looked at him with a smile. This behavior inevitably made people feel that the situation from the beginning was staged just to make him let go.

However, as long as I control the amount of alcohol I drink, I don't need to worry about any problems.

"Then come and drink, Commander!"

Chapayev took out a bottle of vodka at some point and signaled Roger to drink the drink he had just mixed for him.

"It shouldn't be a problem if it's just this one cup."

Roger looked at the wine, which was the same color as oolong tea, and thought that his alcohol tolerance was not so bad that he would get drunk after just one glass, so he raised his glass without thinking too much, clinked it with Chapayev, and started drinking.

Seeing Roger drinking like this, Chapayev's smile became even brighter, and after Roger drank the glass of wine, his face turned red.

He had underestimated the alcohol content of the wine. After drinking it, not only did his stomach start to feel hot, but his body and brain also felt like they no longer belonged to him.

"Commander, how is it? Can you drink more? If so, I'll fill it up for you."

Chapayev wanted to check on Roger's condition, but Roger turned his head to look at her, then fell into her arms without saying anything.

"Did he pass out drunk? What a pity."

Looking at Roger lying on his chest, Chapayev felt that he might need to adjust the intensity a little lower next time. Otherwise, he would just pass out in this state and there would be no way to carry out the next plan.

"Don't do this next time. It's not good for the commander's health to let him drink like this."

Aurora tried to persuade him, hoping that Chapayev would pay more attention to the situation next time. In any case, she didn't want to ruin Roger's health.

"I understand. I won't do it again next time."
