Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

"Yes... that is..."

Juno paused and thought carefully.

Atlanta's problem gave her a flash of inspiration, but she didn't catch it.

"I think I've seen the information before. Let me look for it."

Juno summoned a holographic projection and pulled out the data stored in her core.

But there are too many folders, and I couldn’t find it by searching for keywords.

"It looks like it should be the information of something else, and it contains relevant content."

Juno scratched her hair, searching through the folders one by one.

In order to be more "human", the ship girl seems to have separated the humanoid body and the mental core.

The proficiency of the ship girl is also related to this.

One of the proficiency levels is the proficiency in using one’s own mind core.

A powerful ship girl must be proficient in using her own mind core, just like a person is proficient in using a computer.

If the battle with the deep sea is compared to playing a game, then the ship girl is the player and the mental core is the computer.

There is of course a huge difference between someone who is skilled in using computers playing computer games and someone who is not good at using computers playing computer games.

Not to mention aiming and firing, you don’t even know which key to press to fire. How can you play the game well if you can’t even recognize all the buttons?

The advantage of this design is that it makes the ship girls look more like people with souls and auxiliary intelligent systems, rather than emotionless computers.

Although it is easier for the ship girls to integrate into the human race.

However, the cost of information calculation and processing has increased significantly.

Such as now.

Juno's own body has limited memory, so she forgot where what she saw was stored.

This is very human.

So she had no choice but to look through the storage system of her mind core.

This is very time-consuming.

But it also has more advantages than simple humans.

Because the pure mind core is a powerful 'computer'.

If used skillfully, one can quickly calculate the landing point of the ship's gun trajectory and then correct the artillery unit.

It is also very effective for recording some obscure data, provided that the ship girl can remember which folder the data is in.

Therefore, from time to time, some people in this world will say that "Ship Girls are the future development direction of mankind."

What's worse, some people even say something like "Shipgirls are new humans".

However, at a time when most humans still believe that KanColle are another species, not many people agree with that statement.

"Destroyer, you should go on patrol."

Haruna gave orders to the two destroyers.

"Don't bother talking about this, I don't have time to find information for you. If that submarine is a scout... Anyway, get to work."

Haruna said to Atlanta and Juno.

As a good big sister, it is also her necessary responsibility to supervise other sisters in carrying out their tasks.

Besides, this urging is not without reason.

"Okay, let's start."

After confirming that her sister was indeed fine, Juno gave up searching for information and jumped back into the sea.

She glanced at Shimakaze and Minekaze, and after confirming their looks with the two little lolis, the three ship girls simultaneously put their hands on the sea.

After a while, many bubbles emerged from the bottom of the sea and slowly rose to the surface of the sea.

A huge shadow emerged under the sea, but in the eyes of the three ship girls, the shadow under their feet only revealed intimacy.

In the blink of an eye, the higher part of the shadow emerged.

Those are three bridges.

The cold steel reveals the unique sharpness of a war machine.

When the deck surfaced, the three ship girls were standing on the decks of their respective ships.

"Woo~wuwu~"

This time, Shimakaze didn't just say "wooo" with his mouth, but directly pulled the whistle, and the sound of the whistle was really "wooo".

"boom!"

The power provided by the propeller was so strong that water waves suddenly rose.

Shimakaze rushed out suddenly, and the scale of the ship's wake was far beyond what it could be when the ship was installed.

"Flagship, no enemy within 12 miles of 10 o'clock."

Then Shimakaze's voice came over the radio.

Haruna covered her forehead.

At such a close distance, there is no need for Shimakaze to report, the other ship girls can detect it themselves.

"continue."

Haruna gave the order while covering his forehead.

She will not release her true form at this time.

If the enemy appears and is within their range of attack, wouldn't it be a surprise attack if she suddenly releases her true form?

As the island wind faded away, Juneau also deployed its own air defense system.

The unmanned anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns began to rotate the turrets and conduct some basic tests.

In the eyes of people in this world, this is a very normal scene, and any ship girl who can release her true form will do so.

"Weapon test, one shot, 3, 2, 1!"

"boom!"

All of Juno's anti-aircraft weapons fired the first shell in their barrels.

"The test passed, the system performed well, and entered the second level combat readiness state."

After Juno finished speaking, the entire ship entered radio silence.

The light cruiser was not much bigger than the destroyer, and leaning against the side of the Kirishima, it looked small and cute.

"Flagship, 10 to 3 o'clock, no enemy 50 miles away."

Shimakaze reported the situation again.

In just a few minutes, Shimakaze ran several kilometers away.

At her speed of 40 knots, this was already considered a cautious speed.

"Fengfeng, scout at three o'clock, Shimakaze, nine o'clock, 12 o'clock for Juno."

Haruna thought about it for a moment and changed the formation.

If Atlanta had not been attacked by the deep-sea submarine, there should have been two light cruisers conducting reconnaissance and escort on the left and right sides, and two destroyers conducting free reconnaissance in front and behind.

But now we can only temporarily change from an aggressive formation to a conservative formation.

Haruna thought that it was her fault that this unplanned bad incident happened.

It was still too hasty.

Although there has been no sneak attack from the deep sea for many years, today's incident sounded a wake-up call for Haruna.

What if the ship girl has evolved? If all the ship girls in the future are this kind of smart low-level ship girls, will we be in trouble again?

Impossible! The same trick won't work on her, Haruna.

I'll talk about her mistakes when we get back to the front-line base.

Now is not the time.

"Feng Feng received."

"Juno received."

"Shimakaze received."

The three ships that received the order quickly changed their positions.

At this moment, the three front-row reconnaissance ships had already sailed out of the visible range.

"Juno, 11 o'clock, 50 nautical miles, unidentified object moving signal!"

Juno was just about to rush forward and exchange positions with Shimakaze, but suddenly he saw a light spot on his radar.

"Multiple, correction, multiple unidentified object movement signals!"

After the radar was refreshed again, a bunch of light spots appeared around that light spot.

"Focus on reconnaissance. Withdraw once you have gathered enough intelligence. Don't fight to the bitter end."

Haruna warned again.

"Juno got it!"

Juno cautiously approached her 11 o'clock position.

There seemed to be some fog on the sea in the distance, and it was not very clear.

Even the unobstructed sea surface was affected by the fog and visibility was affected.

NO.165 Weird Deep Sea

"Be careful! We have encountered enemies we have never seen before today, which means that some changes have occurred in this sea area that we are not aware of."

Haruna emphasized.

"Encounter! Encounter! The enemy ships include destroyers, cruisers, and battleships. It's a mixed fleet!"

As soon as Haruna finished speaking, Juno's words came through the radio.

"Is there a dean?"

Haruna asked quickly.

"I don't know. I can't see clearly. They are surrounded by fog."

Juno was also helpless.

"Has the enemy spotted you? Evacuate towards the flagship and we will pick you up. Continue the expulsion and reconnaissance."

Haruna is worried now.

Things like strategy and tactics did not exist in the deep sea in the past.

The deep sea has always been a phase rush.

Playing strategy and tactics is what humans do.

At first, humans were a vulnerable group and had to make rational use of the limited resources of their phones to fight for survival space in the war with the deep sea.

Fortunately, the deep sea does not understand strategy and tactics, which allows humans to gain some living space.

The ship girls in the same camp as humans certainly also understand some strategies and tactics, so we know how terrifying it would be if the deep sea also understood them.

In terms of military strength, the deep sea has the advantage.

If you need more wisdom, how can you fight?

"I'm afraid I've been spotted. They're moving in my direction. I'm going to retreat."

Juno's call knot.

"Load the main gun, first level combat readiness!"
