Revisiting Azur Lane

In the war-torn era without Sirens, the pinnacle of battleships were the Iowa-class battleships to which New Jersey belonged and the Yamato-class from Sakura Empire. The war ended before the two of them even had a chance to meet.

But the peak is the peak. After New Jersey unfolded her ship equipment, everyone around Zhou He was attracted by her magnificent and large-scale ship equipment - naval guns.

There is one very bad thing about the system, which is that it creates the ship girls according to the settings in the game. Therefore, New Jersey, which has Tomahawk cruise missiles after several modifications, did not arrive in its prime. Instead, it continued the settings in the game, leaving New Jersey with only the weapons of the World War II period.

Even so, New Jersey's ship equipment was still surprisingly huge after it was deployed, with a total length of nearly five meters. The solid structure and powerful main guns wrapped New Jersey's entire body, like a mobile sea war fortress. Even Kaga BB couldn't help but praise it out loud: "To be called the strongest, it is indeed powerful."

Currently, the only ship in the port area that can compete with New Jersey is Hu Teng. Her main guns are also 406mm, and the number is not inferior to New Jersey. The only pity is that Hu Teng's ship equipment is too fancy. Whether on the battlefield or in private, everyone's opinion of Hu Teng is "as long as she can use the ship equipment skillfully, she will not lose to anyone."

Now that New Jersey is here, the harbor battleship track has become even more exciting.

"There's a training target over there. New Jersey, go over there and give it a try."

Zhou He stood on the dock and guided New Jersey. However, he did not get an immediate response from New Jersey after he spoke. Instead, more than a minute later, New Jersey turned around, gave a thumbs up to the people on the shore, and began to move calmly.

"What do you think her hit rate will be?"

Seeing New Jersey moving away from the coast, Zhou He asked the people around him.

"This distance is not difficult for a battleship. It's hard to say if it's in battleship form, but in its current form, I can achieve a hit rate of over 99%."

Tosa remained silent, but Kaga calculated the distance and gave his answer: "Based on this distance, a 100-shot hit out of 90 can be considered acceptable."

The training targets are located at different distances from the shore, but all are within 2 meters, which is only about 3 to nautical miles when converted into nautical miles. This distance is almost equivalent to being face-to-face with a warship. If you can't hit it, then you can only say that you have a connection with the King of Hell.

boom!

First, what Zhou He saw was the target emitting black smoke after being bombarded, and then the shrill cannon fire that made his ears ache, which could be heard even from a thousand meters away.

After the first shot, there was a burst of intensive artillery fire. Zhou He couldn't hear how many shots were fired, but looking at the targets that were constantly being blown away, it was enough to show that New Jersey was not weak at least in terms of artillery level.

He looked at Kaga. Bismarck was not there, so Kaga would temporarily take over as the grading teacher.

"90 points, not bad."

Kaga snorted and explained to Zhou He that New Jersey had obviously blown up in the air several times. She could judge New Jersey as unqualified, but there was no need to do so because this was the first time New Jersey had deployed its ship equipment and used unfamiliar weapons for emergency testing. It was normal for mistakes to occur.

"Ah."

Zhou He nodded. Although he was not as fair as Bismarck, Kaga was quite respectful to the strong. If New Jersey's hit rate could make Kaga feel qualified, then it was almost really qualified.

However, he had just observed that there was indeed no problem with New Jersey's hit rate, but there were some minor problems with its navigation. The speed was very low, and it was obvious that its adaptability to the ship's equipment was not high enough, making it a little difficult to control.

"Who among you can come and share your experience?"

Zhou He looked at everyone. They were going to compete with Siren tomorrow. As a powerful weapon, New Jersey would definitely be of great use, and they couldn't afford to fail over such a small matter.

"I go!"

Few people were willing to be honest now, but Xi Li jumped out immediately, and then raised his head curiously and asked Zhou He: "But what should I teach?"

"Sailing."

Zhou He pointed out: "New Jersey's ship equipment is larger than ordinary battleships and battlecruisers. It is inevitable that there will be some omissions in the initial control, but with New Jersey's intelligence, it should be able to overcome it soon. We are just speeding up the process."

"Oh~ I'll go then."

Yudachi seemed a little confused but he roughly understood it. After calling out to Zhou He and saying hello, he deployed his ship equipment and quickly approached New Jersey. The two paused after meeting on the sea. Yudachi explained with his hands and feet gesticulating, but within three minutes he left New Jersey and ran to the training track jointly built by Zhou He and Bismarck. He began to accelerate after crossing the starting point, leaning forward slightly, and entered the curve after passing the straight line. He finished at a very fast speed with a very beautiful posture, and won applause and praise from New Jersey.

"Hehe, just do what I do! It's just like walking or running on land. We have the ship equipment so we won't fall down."

Yudachi happily explained his views to New Jersey.

"Well, I'll try."

New Jersey responded with a small smile.

Chapter 169 Mental Busyness

New Jersey had a strong ability to adapt, and it took him only ten minutes to adjust to the operation of the ship's equipment. Then he followed Yudachi out of the bay.

"There is a saying about mobility. You guys go and rest first. I'll be fine here."

Zhou He watched the two people running farther and farther away, and inexplicably felt as if Yudachi was being kidnapped. He shook his head and signaled the others who were watching nearby to disperse.

After a period of busy work, it was already past three in the afternoon. Zhou He, who had completed all the work targets for today, was not going to do anything else. He turned around and sat down on a bench next to the pier, enjoying the sea breeze that was slightly blowing on his face, and lazily opened the system map to check it.

As for the Kaga sisters and Yorktown, Tosa and Yorktown both paid attention to Zhou He's movements, but that was all. After a brief pause, they left the dock with the others.

The clouds in the sky were much thinner than in the morning, and one could barely see a spherical object emitting white light. It was a cloudy day commonly seen in inland areas, but this was at sea. Zhou He looked up at the sky and could only hope that it would not rain tomorrow. It was a rare opportunity to take the initiative, and it would be too troublesome if everyone's momentum was affected.

"With New Jersey, White Eagle has finally found a real backbone. We have to find a way to arrange a house."

Zhou He wanted to empty his mind and daydream, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help thinking about his own ship girl and the things in the port area. Now he still had 8 home coins, and after receiving today's 36 daily tasks, he only had 44. It was impossible to start construction, so he could only start with the self-selected furniture box.

The Iron Blood's mansion was decided by rock-paper-scissors after returning from a battle, and the Royal Manor was a port activity. Even if he wanted to bid for the Sakura Empire and the White Eagles, he had to come up with a good reason to avoid uneven difficulty in obtaining the houses.

"There is."

Soon, Zhou He thought of what Bismarck had discussed with him this morning: the camp cooperation exercise.

Although the Sakura Empire and the White Eagles may not necessarily win, it is still a chance. If not, he can find other reasons, such as who killed the observers and testers after the Siren Base was captured, or holding a port sports meeting, making snowmen and having snowball fights after it snows, all are fine!

Anyway, the final right of interpretation lies with him. As long as there is a reasonable channel, he can arrange the second place.

'I'm really smart.'

Zhou He boasted happily in his heart, and then he thought about him and Yuudachi. Tomorrow he would have enough Homeland Coins to buy a ring. It was just right that after the sparring with Siren tomorrow, they would hold a celebratory party in the restaurant, and he would take the opportunity to let Yuudachi put the ring on it in the evening.

Since the decision has been made, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible, so as to avoid having to exercise your will every morning and evening.

……

"Commander, we are back~"

The round plate in the sky gradually disappeared, and the two people, Yudachi in front and New Jersey behind, returned to the dock. After getting ashore, Yudachi jumped to Zhou He, who was a little sleepy, and called him cutely to bring him back to his senses, staring at Zhou He with anticipation on his face.

"Welcome home."

Zhou He opened his eyes and yawned. How could he not understand that Yuuri was trying to win his praise? He smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch her smooth little face: "My Yuuri is awesome. She can also be a teacher. She is already an excellent secretary ship."

"Hey~"

Yuli smiled happily and rubbed Zhou He's hands with both hands - she was very happy with Zhou He's praise, even if it was just the most ordinary words.

"uh-huh?"

New Jersey, who landed later, looked at the intimate interaction between the two. Yudachi, who was still the secretary ship, realized the key point in the blink of an eye. He put one hand on his chest and rubbed his chin with his fingers with great interest. It turned out that they could also date the commander?

Zhou He naturally couldn't ignore such a big New Jersey. He simply coaxed Yudachi to be happy and stood up to talk to New Jersey: "How does it feel to use the ship suit?"

"It's very light and more flexible than a battleship, and more flexible than I thought. However, its equipment is a bit outdated and not the latest model."

New Jersey looked down at Zhou He, but because Zhou He was wearing a military cap, she couldn't see his eyes at all. It was impossible to judge a person's mood just by his expression, so she suddenly had an idea and leaned forward and rubbed her hands on her thighs. While answering, she looked up to observe Zhou He's expression and smiled: "At the beginning, I couldn't judge the speed well. I was worried that I would fall down if I ran too fast. It troubled the commander."

"You are acting cautiously, which is good."

On the surface Zhou He looked calm and composed, but in his heart he was shouting "OMFAR". A cool and majestic lady like New Jersey looking up at him from a low position was already a very touching scene. Coupled with New Jersey's exaggerated bonus, being able to pretend nothing happened was already the highest achievement of Zhou He's further studies in Hong Kong these days.

He didn't even dare to think about being caught by this pair of... well, too much talk leads to mistakes.

Zhou He, who was worried that his speech would be confusing, only roughly remembered the shape wrapped in the one-piece silk. He said a few words to her and then looked away. He took Yudachi and moved towards the command building, while calling New Jersey: "It's almost dinner time. I'm used to having dinner at this time, but the restaurant is open all day. New Jersey, if you are hungry, you can always go to the barbarians in the restaurant."

"Are those furry little guys that powerful?"

Because of Zhou He's emotional control, New Jersey didn't notice his emotional changes. He just felt that it was about the same as before. After feeling a little relieved, he followed up: "I see that they look like genetically mutated chickens. If we let them cook, won't we be able to eat related dishes?"

"If you want to eat, I can help cook."

Zhou He had thought about this a long time ago. Because of Manju, the meat he provided for a long time did not include poultry such as chicken and duck. It was basically mutton and beef, as well as ingredients caught and picked up from the sea.

"Hey, Commander, can you cook?"

New Jersey was immediately surprised, while Yudachi on the other side proudly praised Zhou He: "The commander's cooking is better than Manju's."

"Psychological reasons."

Zhou He was naturally happy to be praised, but he knew his own worth. The reason why others thought his cooking was delicious was simply because he was a human being and could adjust the taste by observing the preferences of his diners, while Manju could not do this. However, their cooking techniques were very high-end, allowing the ingredients to bring out 100% or even 90% of their taste value. Each had its own advantages.

"You are being modest. I will definitely try the Commander's cooking if I get a chance."

New Jersey was very good at handling things. He joined Yuudachi in praising Zhou He, which made the latter grin. However, he did not feel particularly guilty. After all, his own ship girls really liked the food he cooked.

The three of them walked together, from left to right and from high to low, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was quite good, and other people passing by were quite surprised to see them. Since the port area had ten people, the ship girls who joined later rarely appeared around Zhou He, as if there was an unspoken rule of first come first served. New Jersey, who had just joined, did not stay with the people in her own camp, but instead followed Zhou He. There were very few people.

When Bismarck, who was inside the restaurant, saw this scene, he frowned slightly: "White Eagle's legendary ship is indeed not simple."

"Hmm? Any idea?"

Yi Bei, who was sitting upright and enjoying his steak with a knife and fork, heard Bismarck's words and glanced at Zhou He in surprise: "Ms. Bismarck, do you mean that the newcomer from the White Eagle is following the commander for some purpose?"

"Don't be so blunt. It will have a bad influence if others hear it. You should say this in private."

U96 looked at the Iron Blood Light Navigation Ship that she had just met. This port area was also very magical. Even the ships that their camp did not have could be personified and called out.

"Well, both of you are right, please don't argue."

Z23, who was sitting next to Bismarck, felt that the two were equally matched, but it was more important to stop them now, so he decided not to complain for the time being.

"There's no need to speculate. Her entry into the inner circle is a predetermined event."

Huteng glanced at Yi Bei and U96 and casually echoed the words.

Let's not talk about U96 for now. Yi Bei is a big problem. She looks difficult to deal with, but she is actually an honest and obedient girl. She can even be described as a "silly and sweet" girl in the book. This guy wanted to run to Zhou He at first, but was stopped by Bismarck. It was obvious that he was worried that her character would be controlled by people from other camps.

"Yes~"

Yi Bei was quiet. U96 felt that Yi Bei was a little strange, but she didn't say anything more. She lowered her head and ate her food. This was her first time eating, and everything she ate tasted delicious. She even wanted to lick the plate.

Count Spee looked at Bismarck, but the latter said nothing and seemed to be thinking about something.

On the other side, Zhou He entered the restaurant and took Yudachi and New Jersey to their seats. He enthusiastically recommended several of the restaurant's signature dishes to New Jersey (the dishes that were most frequently requested). While waiting, he suddenly had an idea and asked New Jersey in a low voice whether he knew whether the White Eagle presidential election in 24 years was won by old Deng or by the return of the founding king.

"Is the name these two people in Donghuang so strange?"

New Jersey chuckled and shook his head: "Unfortunately, the official campaign had not yet started before I came here."

"It's a pity indeed."

Before Zhou He traveled through time, he often watched videos analyzing the two opposing forces and enjoyed watching them.

Furthermore, New Jersey's answer to this question is enough to prove that the historical ship girls he built are all based on the historical template of his world. Strictly speaking, his own ship girls are half-fellow countrymen of his, and their memories come from the same world.

The New Jersey in front of him inherited the long memory of the original battleship, and the degree of integration is probably higher than that of Hood. Her overflowing confidence and unrestrainedness are because the historical New Jersey is truly strong and is not afraid of any enemy at all!

Taking her as an example, if a Donghuang ship like Anshan was built that was modified and still exists today, he might be able to find out the subsequent progress of the game Azur Lane (laughs).

"Commander, you are laughing so happily. Did you think of something interesting?"

The seating arrangement of the three was very strange, Zhou He and Yuli sat opposite each other, while New Jersey sat next to Zhou He. However, Zhou He and Yuli didn't care, as they usually sat like this.

"Yes."

Zhou He clasped his hands together and rested his chin on them. He didn't know why, but after he knew that everyone in his camp came from his world, he inexplicably felt at ease and at home. Even though they had been together for such a long time, it seemed that he was still a child who could not stand on his own.

However, he should be able to become an adult in a few days.

"..."

As Zhou He was laughing, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. Although having a ship girl as his wife was something to be happy about, the bad news was that the "endurance" of his own ship girl was very outstanding, and it would continue to grow with each expedition.

He could only hope that the endurance of the ship girl during the day and at night was not the same endurance bar, otherwise, even if there was only one marriage ship, Yudachi, he would most likely be in short supply.

"Commander suddenly became serious again. Is he thinking about the Siren?"

Yuli looked at Zhou He's changing expression. Because he was used to it, he was not worried at all. Instead, he found it very interesting and asked with a smile.

"No, but it's almost the same. I wonder if there are any hidden scientific research technologies in the Siren Base, and whether they will have an impact on our attack."

Zhou He restrained his expression, thinking that since Siren had such advanced black technology, it should also have the simple technology of enhancing human genes and performance, right?

'Next time you meet a Purification clan that surrenders, accept this as a gift.'

He nodded secretly. Since the system could not strengthen him, he would find a way himself. Akashi certainly could not reach that level for the time being, but Siren with its huge database could definitely do it. Even if there were only similar accidental discoveries, they could be brought back as research materials for scientific research.

"The technology that can affect us, I think it is most likely to be 'communication interference' that hinders the movement of our fleet, or 'powerful weapons' that can determine the direction of the war. Commander, which one do you think Siren can achieve?"
