KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled somewhat happily, the smile of a strange uncle.

"Then let me touch your face, please, just for once."

"No."

"It'll be fine in a moment. You've already said you like me."

"..."

Little Eugen wanted to say, you stupid sir, you know that she has said she likes you and she won’t refuse if you touch her directly, but you have to ask a stupid question and ask a girl how to agree.

But at this time, little Zeppelin came running over, holding two bottles of drinks.

"Eugen, the hot coffee is out, so I bought you some hot milk... Hey, why are you alone here? Where's Zeppelin?"

Liu Cheng watched as little Zeppelin handed one of the drinks to little Eugen, blinked and said, "No share for me?"

"You didn't even help me call out Zeppelin. You're so useless. What should I do for you?"

Little Zeppelin snorted. Although she was dressed and looked very mature, she spoke in a baby voice, which was simply adorable.

"I called out, but Zeppelin didn't want to come out, and there was nothing I could do."

"If there is no way, then find a way. Otherwise, what are you doing with such a big body?"

"That makes sense." Liu Cheng looked at little Zeppelin who was also sitting on the bench and drinking with little Eugen, and asked, "In fact, I really want to know why Zeppelin is avoiding you. Although you two do have different personalities, it should be very easy for Zeppelin to be with you.

We should have something in common.”

"That's right, I don't understand that guy either!"

Little Zeppelin was touched by what he said. He drank half of the drink in the bottle in one breath like a dragon drinking milk. After wiping his mouth with his little hand, he said, "This world is so good. There are delicious cakes, fun picture books, all kinds of interesting friends, and fighting is also fun. But Zeppelin wants to destroy the world all the time. I really don't understand! I want to convince her, but she is hiding from me. I really don't know where she has grown to. I am one size bigger and I am like this. I don't understand, I don't understand at all!"

"So you want to tell her to be more positive, right?"

"Yes, she is embarrassing our Iron Blood First Aircraft Carrier Count Zeppelin. What a weird sir."

"Actually, I have similar ideas. We have the same goal..."

Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment, and under the gaze of little Zeppelin, he said, "Well, I will find a way to invite Zeppelin to the beer hall tonight. You will ambush there secretly, and I will control Zeppelin and prevent her from running away. Then you and I will join forces to attack her, and Zeppelin will certainly be defeated in one fell swoop."

"Okay! It's a deal! Pinky promise!"

Little Zeppelin stretched out his hand and made a pinky promise with Liu Cheng, then he felt something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he reacted and stretched out his little fist to hit Liu Cheng's shoulder.

"What a mere Zeppelin! It's the real Zeppelin!"

"Okay, okay, she is a mere Zeppelin, and you are a great Zeppelin."

"That's better." Little Zeppelin retracted his fist, hesitated for a moment, and handed his half-drunk drink bottle to Liu Cheng, "Actually, you're a pretty good person. I just asked you for help because I think you're reliable... You can have a sip of this, but only one sip, and you're not allowed to drink too much!"

Liu Cheng blinked. He certainly knew the significance of children sharing food. Even though it was only a bite, it was a symbol of acceptance of a person.

"Okay, then I'll take it as a reward."

Liu Cheng took it and took a sip. When he returned it, he touched little Zeppelin's head. His hair was smooth and felt great.

"Don't touch me! Take my shot!"

Little Zeppelin reacted violently by covering his head with his hands, but Yoo Seung had already stood up and was ready to leave.

"I won't eat the cannon. See you tonight."

"……See you tonight."

Little Zeppelin looked at Liu Cheng's back and felt a little empty for some reason. What an interesting and weird adult... Never mind, he had to decide on the tactics for the evening first.

"Eugen, Eugen, come on, let's discuss what to do tonight!"

"Oh."

Little Eugen scratched his hair helplessly, thinking that he might as well just let Hipper bully him for a few days. Little Zeppelin was really too energetic.

Liu Cheng returned to the scientific research building.

Strasser crossed his arms and glanced, "You are six minutes late."

"It always takes some time to coax a child into good shape."

Liu Cheng also knew that Strasser was not blaming him. He had been working with this "master" who had a very strong sense of time for more than a week and they had already developed a tacit understanding of each other. He put on his white coat and prepared to start the day's work.

Zeppelin asked, "She's gone?"

"He left."

"You are quite capable. I will allow you to have a glass of my red wine."

"Forget it. Your red wine has been opened for such a long time and you haven't drunk it much. I'm afraid it has gone bad."

August and Egil had already decided the winner by now. Seeing Egil slapping her thigh and her plump breasts swaying as she laughed, it was clear who had won.

"Liu Cheng!" Egil lay on the back of the sofa, waved to Liu Cheng and said, "I helped you win August once, thank me, you can choose whatever she wears tomorrow."

"Haha." August folded his hands, and Miss Witch was still elegant. "A victory makes you so happy? Actually, this is also within my expectations."

"You're really being stubborn, Liu Cheng. You're asking for too much."

Liu Cheng thought about it and said, "Then let's wear a maid outfit."

August: “…”

Egil: "Did you hear that? Maid costume."

"cut--"

August turned her head to the side. She was wondering whether she should keep her promise this time. The key point was the maid outfit. It seemed that she couldn't find anyone to borrow it from...

Chapter 20: Liu Cheng's work and being exploited by many ship girls

After Tiexue used more modern instruments to test Liu Cheng's body, they still got the same conclusion as before - the wavelength of Liu Cheng's brain waves was very close to the energy frequency of the Mind Cube, so it could resonate with the Mind Cube in the energy excited state.

In layman's terms, it can be simply understood that the Mind Cube, as a high-dimensional creation, has its own language. During the construction process of the ship girl, the parameters and data are constantly adjusted and translated into a language that the Mind Cube can understand, so that it can react. Liu Chengtian has this language ability, but it may be a different dialect, so there is no way to communicate completely barrier-free, but it is still okay to know the key meaning.

However, the progress was limited, because even the current technical level of Iron Blood had limited knowledge about the Mind Cube. Developing Liu Cheng's brain ability involved the most complex and mysterious brain science in human beings. More importantly, there was no way to find other people to do experiments with Liu Cheng's unique characteristics, and it was even more impossible to do anything rashly with Liu Cheng's brain. Not to mention that Liu Cheng himself did not want to take risks. Even if he wanted to, Philip

Emperor Treit also disagreed and issued a death order on this point.

However, it does not mean that there is no progress. At least according to the test results, Liu Cheng's brain wave intensity is much higher than when he was in Sardinia. Preliminary judgment is that it may be due to the influence of the Mind Cube.

But even though the strength has increased, one also needs to know how to use it, so Liu Cheng and Strasser confirmed the next direction together - now Liu Cheng's job is to cooperate with Strasser to upgrade the ship equipment of the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls, starting with the imitation mind cube such as the ship equipment core, and then gradually transition to the real mind cube, using scientific methods to train Liu Cheng's abilities.

Regensburg clenched her hands tightly together. She had a slim figure and a slender waist, which made her teardrop-shaped breasts look even more firm and attractive. She was standing next to Liu Cheng at this moment, watching him with a heavy heart as he used instruments to transform the internal energy structure of his ship suit - Regina.

There is actually no essential difference between the ship equipment of Iron Blood and that of Sardinia and Royal Navy. It is also supplied with energy by the Navy's mind cube, converted and constructed through the energy circuits in the ship equipment, and finally released as single shells or range-type barrages.

The biggest difference is that a replica of the Mind Cube is built into the Iron Blood ship suit, which gives the ship suit a certain degree of autonomous combat instinct and can assist the ship girl in attacking. As for the shape, it doesn’t matter, any cat or dog will do. It is designed to be a mighty and domineering mechanical dragon. On the one hand, it is considered that momentum is also part of the weapon. On the other hand, who can resist a handsome dragon?

The mechanical dragon Regina stood in the central area of ​​the huge glass cover of the scientific research center, connected by various pipes and mechanical arms. Liu Cheng could clearly sense the information emanating from Regina's core. The difference between the mind cube imitated by Iron Blood and the original was probably between a mule and a horse and Rome. The mechanical dragon only had the biological instincts of a hunting dog at most, but that was enough.

If one wants to improve combat effectiveness under the current circumstances, the best way is to make the energy circuit between Regina's core and Regensburg's Mind Cube more closely aligned, reducing the loss of Mind Cube energy, so that both Regensburg itself and the ship itself can release more energy more easily.

After a week of Strasser's instruction, Liu Cheng got the hang of it quickly. Maybe he was not as skilled as Strasser, but he had abilities that Strasser did not have. After getting a slight feel for Regensburg's current level and Regina's internal energy circuits, Liu Cheng quickly came up with an idea for the transformation.

Liu Cheng's hands were operating quickly on the floating screen. The test software verified that there was nothing wrong with his idea. After the transformation, the energy utilization efficiency will be increased by 5.7%, and the total output energy at the same time will be increased by 4.6%. It seems that it is nothing, but in fact, every bit of improvement is precious under the current circumstances.

"Then I will transform it according to this standard? Regensburg?"

"Ah? Oh, okay..."

Regensburg's golden eyes watched the changes in the data on the screen in disbelief. The side profile of the man next to him, who was working hard, reflected the light of the screen, looking so resolute and handsome.

[Damn it, is there really nothing wrong with him? He is just an ordinary person, but he can help us transform the ship equipment so quickly... Such a big improvement is something I haven't been able to achieve even after I asked Strasser several times before, and I treated him so badly before...]

The difficulty of modifying Regensburg's ship equipment is much easier than that of Egil and Hutten. After dozens of minutes, Regensburg can feel that her ship equipment, the mechanical dragon Regina, is indeed stronger than before. She feels that she is now no less powerful than Iron Blood's strongest light cruiser Mainz, and can even challenge heavy cruisers.

"How about it?"

Regensburg bit her moist cherry lips, feeling very complicated when faced with Liu Cheng's question.

[No... I won't admit it! Someone like you can make me more powerful or something - no, isn't that my power, but yours? How can it be... Are you stronger than me? ! ]

Regensburg's mind was in a mess. Her strong self-esteem and shame in front of Liu Cheng made her logic a little confused.

"It does seem quite powerful... But I still need to practice and practice in actual combat to be sure..."

"Okay, Regensburg, you've taken up too much of Liu Cheng's time." Egil walked up, hooked his shoulder and said, "There are not many places that can be modified on Hutten's ship equipment, so let's first determine the modification plan for my ship equipment. I can't wait to go to the battle."

Hu Teng also came up at this time and handed Liu Cheng a bottle of ice water. He leaned against his shoulder, and his smooth short hair almost touched Liu Cheng's face: "Even if your ship equipment can complete the initial transformation, you still have to conduct exercises to adapt to the combat methods of the ship equipment before you can really go to the battlefield. So before that, I am the important combat force."

"Do we still need to practice? I'm the God of the Desolate Sea. I can just bite them to pieces." Egil suddenly had an idea. She poked Liu Cheng's cheek and said excitedly, "Strengthen the dragon mouth of my ship and give it more teeth. I also need to fight in close combat. It would be more suitable for me to crush the Sirens directly."

Liu Cheng: “…”

Liu Cheng: "Didn't we agree to add an extra muzzle to the dragon's mouth?"

"No conflict, I want them all."

Egil hugged Liu Cheng's arm and rubbed it deeply into the soft and hard thing. The mature beauty with dragon horns said charmingly: "Help me do it."

, sister will give you more benefits in the future."

"Okay, I'll make a preliminary plan first, and then discuss it with Strasser." The extremely wonderful touch made Liu Cheng a little absent-minded, so he could only agree.

"It's your freedom to do it or not, but that doesn't mean you can ignore me." Hu Teng hugged Liu Cheng's other arm. It was not as big as Egil's, but the touch was extremely firm and touching. "Give me some time, or I will come to urge you every day."

"Okay, okay, let's do them all, one by one."

Regensburg looked at Liu Cheng who was sandwiched between the two ship girls, and suddenly felt as if he was in another world.

The same goes for Strasser. She never thought she would have such free time. It is indeed a pleasant thing to spend time on Liu Cheng, but it would not be pleasant without any reward.

Then Strasser also went up.

Chapter 21 Both Psychology and Physics Exist

Being surrounded by beautiful ship girls is certainly a happy thing, but the premise is that you don't need to use your brain and you are not the party being asked to do something. After one morning and the efforts of the previous few days, the ship equipment modification plan for Egil was finally finalized. The ship equipment for Hutten has not yet been finalized.

After all, compared to Egil, Hutten's ship equipment is more mature and has been iterated many times. There is much less room for improvement. Liu Cheng can only promise to try his best.

However, Hu Teng was not the kind of person who would make a fuss. Apart from saying that she would still monitor Liu Cheng's progress, she did not force him. She even said that she would invite Liu Cheng to her room for dinner after he succeeded. Liu Cheng was very pleased about this. Hu Teng, who had such a cold first impression, gradually showed her soft and moving side.

Before going to lunch, Liu Cheng discussed the work content with Strasser for a while. Even though Liu Cheng was very talented in this area, Strasser was the real expert, and many designs still had to be checked by her.

"I used to think that scientific research also requires talent." Strasser said sincerely, "After seeing you, I believe this even more."

Liu Cheng waved his hand modestly and said, "I just spent the time others spend drinking wine on work. It's mainly because you taught me well."

"Well said, that makes sense." Strasser glanced at Zeppelin next to him and said with a smile, "Haha~ That's really a funny thing to say."

August: "The problem is that someone doesn't even drink red wine."

Only then did Zeppelin counterattack: "Shut up, little maid."

August curled his lips. Despite her elegant appearance, the witch didn't actually feel that wearing a maid costume was shameful. After all, it could be considered a means of controlling her own familiars.

The group walked into the cafeteria chatting and laughing, picked up their meals and sat down to eat.

"Humph, these guys have been bewitched by this human in just a few days. How funny." Germany said in a low but arrogant voice, "Don't you think so, Regensburg?"

"what?"

Regensburg was holding the steak on the plate with complicated thoughts. Now that the ship's equipment had been upgraded, it seemed that there was no reason to look for Liu Cheng... No, no, it was my natural duty to supervise whether he had the iron-blooded quality, and of course no reason was needed.

"Yes, I will keep watching him until he reveals his true colors."

Germany nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's how it should be, and it has to be you, Regensburg."

Prince Eugen absentmindedly stirred the mushroom soup in the dish. She originally thought that after Liu Cheng arrived at Iron Blood, as the ship girl he was most familiar with, he should have been close to Yue Cheng first. However, after more than a week, the three witch ladies, Hu Teng and Egil seemed to have formed a small group with Liu Cheng, working and eating together. Especially Egil, who always acted like a caring big sister, following Liu Cheng all day long. Was she so shameless? Maybe I should upgrade my ship equipment?

"Oh oh oh~"

Hipper noticed Prince Eugen's eyes and seemed to understand something all of a sudden, with smiles filling his green eyes.

"You oh what?"

"Haha, it must be painful to see your offspring pestering annoying humans all day long, right?"

Prince Eugen was stunned for a moment. As smart as she was, she didn't understand what Hipper meant for a moment, and was still wondering if she had been so obvious.

Hipper looks very proud of himself, as if he has finally found your weakness. "Still pretending. Seeing an excellent junior like Egil hanging out with humans, do you feel complicated?"

"Hipper..."

Prince Eugen couldn't help but hold his sister in his arms and said sincerely, "You are really too smart. I shouldn't worry about you at all."

"Why do I feel like you're not praising me..."

After lunch it was time for lunch break, but Liu Cheng did not go directly to the science and technology building in the afternoon. Instead, he went to the library, which was also located in the office area, as usual.
