Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Black Flying Dragon nodded. For them, as long as they didn't lose consciousness, their physical injuries weren't considered serious. On the other hand, if their ship equipment was destroyed, even if they were unharmed, they would still sink to the bottom of the sea.

Losing ship equipment is tantamount to losing life.

"Great! It's decided then. We didn't get to see the Sakura Empire's naval port last time, so we must take a good look around this time!"

New Jersey clapped to interrupt the conversation and finalized the next steps.

"This is Australia, everyone be careful. The situation here is very tense lately, so it's best not to make too much noise when you take action."

Wales added to this.

After discussing some details, the group began their journey north.

……

The night was thin, and at the horizon, a red sun was slowly rising, dispelling the cold and gloom.

High in the sky, several reconnaissance planes flew by quickly, leaving streaks in the clouds. Looking down, a fleet of nearly thirty ship girls was speeding across the sea.

"I really don't want to watch the sunrise this way."

Black Dragon glanced at the sunrise and couldn't help but sigh.

She had lost count of how many times she had sighed. Traveling through the night in the cool breeze reminded her of the port illusion she had seen in that other space. The dissatisfaction with the world that she had finally managed to suppress after transmigrating resurfaced.

If she were transported to a more peaceful ship girl world, she might not need to live such a bitter and tiring life at all.

"..."

The aircraft carriers not far from Black Dragon looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what tricks Black Dragon was up to this time.

"Ahead lies the border area between Australia and the Sakura Empire. There are Australian research bases in the island group, so please be careful."

The Black Dragon, contemplating life, received feedback from the reconnaissance aircraft and issued a warning.

"A place like this? A research base?"

Shangri-La adjusted her glasses, her thirst for knowledge almost overflowing.

“I came here before when I was bored. Australia has invented a camouflage technology similar to that of the Sirens, which has given them the confidence to establish a weapons research institute in such a deep sea.”

Black Flying Dragon casually replied that while it was similar, it was actually exactly the same.

"I see. Since it's a technology similar to the Sirens', can we take it back and study it to crack the Sirens' hidden technology?"

Shangri-La thought for a moment after hearing this and then said...

Are you a genius?

Black Flying Dragon stared at Shangri-La in shock.

lira.

"...No, that's generally what people would think."

Shangri-La is completely bewildered by the Black Flying Dragon.

"is it?"

Black Dragon thought about her reaction at the time. When she learned about the situation, she just thought Australia was doomed and never thought about countering the attack.

After all, she can now directly hack into this level of defense mechanisms.

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire team, and a group of people infiltrated the archipelago and landed on a small island outside the base's radar detection range.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected gain, but obtaining the data won't be easy, Black Dragon, what do you say?"

Hu De made a few polite remarks and then passed the question to Black Dragon.

“I can hack into the base’s reconnaissance and defense systems. Just send someone with me.”

Black Flying Dragon spread his hands towards the crowd and said.

Compared to fighting with Longlong and the black companies, this kind of technology theft is child's play. If she could export it herself, she could do it all by herself.

"Then I'll go."

New Jersey volunteers.

"...Are there any other people willing to go?"

Black Dragon glanced at New Jersey. She had a feeling that she and this person were incompatible, and that going together might cause some problems.

"Why not choose me? I'm the best at this kind of technology theft."

Some New Jersey residents complained with dissatisfaction.

"Black Dragon, let her go."

Wales exchanged glances with the others present and tried to persuade Black Dragon.

"Alright then, you guys wait here for a bit."

Black Dragon clicked his tongue, stepped forward, and put his hand on New Jersey's shoulder, temporarily granting New Jersey a hidden ability.

"It feels like something's been added."

New Jersey tapped his head, looking somewhat confused.

The edge of the OB blinked upon hearing this.

"It's just a temporary feature, let's go."

Black Dragon withdrew his hand, drew his sword, and cleaved a path through it before walking in. New Jersey followed.

Once the two left, the others present began to rest on the spot and chatted quietly.

"It seems like black dragons are quite rare in New Jersey."

Fearless sat in the chair Hermione had brought out and addressed Hood and the others who had also taken their seats.

"I heard that New Jersey wants to take Black Dragon to White Eagles."

Hu De's tone was somewhat indifferent.

Is it possible?

The questioning is daunting.

"Who knows? It depends on what Black Dragon thinks."

Hu De glanced at Ke Wei, whose expression was somewhat stiff, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Compared to the Eagle Union, we should be worried about the Sakura Empire. Black Dragon is still a Sakura Empire ship girl, after all. Now that there is an independent port here, there is no guarantee that she will stay here."

Wales walked up behind Fear, placed his hands on the back of the chair, and said in a low voice.

"Yes, it's normal for a black flying dragon to be in high demand after all."

Warspite stood not far away, facing the rising sun, casting a long shadow.

"..."

Kowei was initially a little flustered by Hood's words, but when Wales said that the threat from Sakura Empire was even greater, he immediately calmed down.

She remembered that Black Dragon had said he didn't like Sakura Empire and had even registered his household in the bay area, so he probably wouldn't stay in Sakura Empire for long. Since Sakura Empire was superior to Eagle Union, it meant that Black Dragon couldn't possibly be kidnapped by New Jersey.

"Miss Kewei, please have some tea."

Belfast promptly handed Formidable a cup of tea.

"Thank you."

Kewei picked up his tea, blew on it to cool it down, took a small sip, and glanced at the rising sun in the distance.

"?"x2

Hood and Wales exchanged a glance. Was their performance quite different from what they had imagined?

……

Meanwhile, Black Dragon led New Jersey to the outer corner of the research base, avoiding the patrol teams.

"There are surveillance cameras over there."

New Jersey looked up at the surveillance camera at the top of the wall, which was pointing directly at them, and said.

"Electronic devices can't detect us, so no one can see you dancing here."

While Black Dragon was verbally communicating with New Jersey, he had actually hacked into the base and was searching for a safe location to steal secrets.

"Really?"

New Jersey's eyes lit up, and she was about to step forward when Black Flying Dragon quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"fake?"

New Jersey looked at the arm that was being held by the black dragon.

"No, I want to know if we export it from the main console, or go directly to the physical object to study it."

Black Dragon asked, explaining that after hacking, she could understand which equipment was managed by which program, but she didn't know how to export the technology.

"Of course we're going to bring the actual item back!"

New Jersey answered without hesitation.

"Where did you come from, brave warrior?"

Black Dragon couldn't help but complain.

"Haha, can we find the relevant information in the main program? Or is the confidentiality level of the physical object not very high?"

New Jersey chuckled twice and gave a serious answer.

"The main program has branches that control the physical objects, but it does not have the actual formation principle."

Black Flying Dragon said he had a general idea and began to use the cameras inside to search for blind spots in the patrol team's field of vision.

After a brief pause, Black Dragon spoke again: "We can't take the physical object away, as that would attract the Sirens' attention, and they would definitely take more stringent defensive measures afterward."

"learn!"

New Jersey gave the black dragon a thumbs up.
