Revisiting Azur Lane

He thought for a moment and said, "Have Akashi dismantle all the special materials she can see and bring them back. Don't worry about whether the base can still operate normally. After this war, we will have nothing to do with this world."

Zhou He's idea was simple. He would let the system see if it could recycle the materials and start a new scientific research project. If not, he would let Mingshi conduct research based on those materials and reverse engineer their composition.

"understood."

Hu Teng yawned with his hands covering his mouth, tapping his fingers on the keyboard. Soon Zhou He saw something new. He couldn't read Eagle language, so Hu Teng translated it considerately: "This is the experimental record of the world where this base is located. It records the Siren invasion project that started with the sinking of Hood and Bismarck in 1941. Before that, the Siren helped humans advance the progress of science and technology, allowing ship girls, that is, us, to appear directly as ship girls instead of warships."

After the Siren invasion began, the major camps in this world chose to unite to fight the enemy. Their combat process was almost consistent with the future deduction in the 'Natural Deduction System'. Soon after, the Human Alliance broke up and split into two opposing camps. The camp headed by the White Eagle conducted independent research and development, while the Iron Blood secretly worked with the Sirens to obtain a technology that could be described as a quick success. Then the two major camps conflicted with each other until thirty years later, when the Iron Blood suddenly betrayed the covenant with the Sirens and intended to control its own destiny.

Failed.

It was not because of the Sirens, but the experiments in the Iron Blood camp were inexplicably related to the bad omen. Eventually the bad omen entity descended, and the whole world suffered the baptism of the bad omen with the Iron Blood as the center. The incident happened suddenly, and the Sirens were not prepared. They could only find the core production area of ​​the bad omen in this world after the bad omen wreaked havoc, which is the area where they are now, and carried out a blockade and cleanup.

Since then, bad omens have appeared again and again, and the Sirens have suppressed them again and again until now.

Chapter 137 White Wolf with Empty Gloves

What exactly is a bad omen?

Zhou He carefully recalled the activities in the game before he traveled through time, but unfortunately, there was not a single relevant entry. He traveled through time on October 23, 10. He still remembered that the most recent event was the Hurricane Camp, and before that it seemed to be a big event of Sakura Empire. He didn't pay much attention to the plot, and even forgot what kind of colorful boat appeared.

As for why he was still wearing short sleeves and slippers in October, he could only say that the climate was not pleasant. On the other hand, in this world, it was only November and there were already signs of a significant drop in temperature. Playing in the snow in winter was just around the corner.

Back to the point, Zhou He's understanding of the game's bad omen only existed in the corrupting Black Storm and the good man Richard in the plot. In the plot, these two things were not even related to the bad omen entry. It was not until the system gave him a task yesterday that he realized that the Black Storm was the symbol of the bad omen.

I thought it was just something targeting KanColle, but I didn't expect it to have such a deep connection with the Sirens, and it would even bring destruction to the experimental world.

Too dangerous.

However, he was also somewhat curious about what these humans in the experimental world were like. Were they authentic humans or fabricated data?

He raised this question, and Hu Teng made a search, but unfortunately he did not find the answer: "This base only has panel reports such as the experiment schedule, and no more information about the setting of the experimental world."

"Forget it. This is not the problem we need to solve right now. According to your inference, when will the Siren launch an attack on the Omen?"

Zhou He did not force it and put the issue back on solving the bad omen. Hu Teng gave a positive answer to this question: "They will launch the attack when the sun is at its highest, about 4 to 5 hours later. The Purifier said that the Siren fleet will engage in a firefight with the bad omen at around 13 o'clock in our cognition."

"Um…"

Zhou He looked up at the clock in the hall. It was already half past eight. After a little thought, he said, "Then after the battle begins, you and Count Spee Akashi should pay attention. I will send Xuefeng to pick you up before the battle is about to end. I will also notify you that you should pack up and leave the Siren base in advance to avoid being teleported to an unknown sea area when the mirror sea area is lifted."

"understood."

Hu Teng's eyes fixed on him, and then he frowned slightly. He operated the equipment in front of him, and a general perspective view of the mass-produced Siren production workshop was projected inside. "Commander, can you record this part of the design?"

"..."

Zhou He was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "How about this, you go find the Purifier to give you a mobile data hard drive, store all these things in it and bring them back."

It was no problem for him to draw some simple maps, but the design drawings that dazzled him at a glance were simply not up to the standard.

"? Will she give it?"

Hu Teng was obviously confused by Zhou He's answer, but Zhou He nodded confidently: "Just tell her directly, it might be a little troublesome to bargain, you can reveal some of our information to her appropriately."

After hearing this, Hu Teng immediately understood: "I understand."

"Well, I'll cut it off first. I have some things to take care of here."

Seeing the other party nod, Zhou He cut off the video, sat at the corner of the stairs and quietly looked at the first floor lobby which was already bustling and crowded. It was not known whether it was because being trapped here today was quite new, but everyone was in high spirits, and even the other rooms next to the lobby became their activity space. The most outrageous one was the small room between the reception room and the kitchen.

This was originally arranged as a temporary residence for Haguro. At this time, Haguro, Ayanami and Nagashima Kasin moved the tatami out of the warehouse and put a few quilts on it, making it a Japanese-style room that was perfect for a nap. Several people gathered there reading books and drinking tea, so much so that Ms. Hood frequently cast her eyes over there.

"The entertainment is still a little bit monotonous."

After admiring it for a while, Zhou He shifted his gaze to the Home Mall. He received the daily Home Coins yesterday and after deducting 5 points of food expenses, he still had 75 Home Coins. He searched around a bit and found 'Home Game Consoles', 'Donghuang Chess, Shogi, International Chess, Flying Chess and other Sets', 'Poker and Other Card Sets', 'Tennis, Football, Basketball Sets' and other playable products in the mall.

Except for the TV monitor required for the home game console, which costs 2 Home Coins, the other three items only cost 1 Home Coin, which adds up to only 5 coins, which is very cheap. However, before this, people rarely stayed together so closely, so he ignored it.

After choosing to buy and watching the balance become 70, Zhou He stood up with a smile and walked downstairs, first going into the soft and warm small Japanese-style room where Yuguro and his friends stayed.

"commander?"

Facing the doubtful gaze, Zhou He smiled and snapped his fingers, pressing his palm down: "I think you may need this."

Before he finished speaking, a blue light appeared in the Japanese-style room, and a game console that looked similar to a computer, with a matching controller and keyboard, and a 66-inch monitor came into the sight of several people. Seeing their surprised eyes, Zhou He smiled and said, "After Yuhei goes back, this room will be used as a game room for entertainment and relaxation."

"Wooah! Long live the Commander!"

Changdao reacted and rolled on the ground, came to Zhou He and lay flat on his back with his hands raised high, with a smile of happiness on his face. His long black hair was scattered all over the ground, making him look a little bit attractive.

Zhou He didn't look at her any more. He just dropped a few more decks of playing cards and a chessboard beside her and said to Ling Nanami and the other two, "Based on my personal thinking, I can only think of these entertainment products. If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly and I will help you realize them."

"I understand. However, Commander, are you really a pure human? You are so omnipotent that it's a bit strange."

Kasim sat on the ground hugging a pillow and looked up at Zhou He. The bangs that originally covered his left eye moved to the side, revealing golden eyes that were different from the orange right eye. They were very beautiful, but there was more of a strange sense of precision.

"Haha, of course I'm a purebred human, but you can think of me as omnipotent in the harbor."

Zhou He no longer wanted to explain the system's void creation. After using simple words to get by, his eyes suddenly focused on Ka Xin's face. After looking at him carefully, he blinked: "Ka Xin, your eyes are so beautiful."

When he was playing the game, he really didn't notice that Kasim had heterochromatic eyes. He still remembers seeing a white cat with heterochromatic eyes on the side of the road, which left a deep impression on him. The same is true for Kasim now, which has brought him a strong visual impact.

Beautiful and handsome.

"Really? Pretty ordinary, huh?"

It was the first time that someone was staring at him so fiercely, and even Kasim couldn't stand it. He lowered his head to let his hair cover his eyes again and responded casually.

"Not ordinary at all, huh?"

Zhou He wanted to say a few more words, but Changdao on the ground grabbed his leg. She looked down and saw Changdao blinking at her fiercely, as if he wanted to convey some message, but the bond between him and Changdao was not strong enough, so he could not understand it.

However, it should be related to Kasim's eyes.

After thinking about it, Zhou He decided to keep quiet, so he smiled at Kasim, squatted down to let Nagashima let go, then stood up, nodded to Ayanami and Haguro, and walked out of the Japanese-style room naturally.

"The commander is amazing."

Ayanami didn't say anything when Zhou He was there, but after he left, she started talking and even seemed to want to applaud.

"really."

Yuhei next to him agreed and turned his head to look at Kasim: "Commander, you didn't realize that Kasim's eye is a prosthetic eye, right? Can you see it?"

"Yes, I can see it."

Kasim touched the golden prosthetic eye with her hand. It wasn't that she was hiding it on purpose, but if Zhou He found out that her eye was different from others, things would definitely become troublesome, and she didn't like getting into trouble.

"Well—anyway, let's try this first."

Nagashima crawled to the side of the game console and sat up, holding it in one hand and looking at the others with a bright smile on his face: "Although there is no internet, it's also good to have this."

"Ah, but the first thing to deal with should be the monitor. Where should it be hung?"

Except for Nagashima, no one else at the scene was talkative, so the topic was changed and Yuguro followed suit and pointed at the monitor.

"I've thought of it, and here it is!"

Changdao was very mobile. He stood up and ran to the wall, opened his arms, and patted the wall with his backhand: "This is the height!"

Later, with Zhou He's efforts, the members who originally seemed to have nothing to do in the hall now had their own things to do, but it also affected some structures. For example, Bismarck, who was reading with Z23, was dragged by Hudson to the reception room to play chess. Z23 and Javelin also went over to join in the fun. Zuikaku, one of the Three Musketeers, was pulled away by Shokaku to try badminton. Kaga also tried to pull Tosa, but failed. He walked into the pet room with his ears drooping and squatted next to the red fox cage.

Zhou He himself was caught by Yuudachi who was playing hide-and-seek because he was walking around. He was forced to join the game and saw the Royal Ark who had a smile that was so bright that it made people feel uncomfortable.

……

"Your commander is a human? I guessed this a long time ago."

Purification Qin, who had just finished training a new enhanced executor, left the Mirror Sea and met Hu Teng who came to move the data hard drive. After a conversation, the topic fell on Zhou He.

"If I don't tell you, the result of your guess will always be unknown."

Hu Teng's face was very cold and her tone was very tough, making the Purifier on the other side feel that she was not here to negotiate, but to rob.

What if the enemy demands your mobile storage device that stores the design content of your base in your own territory?

This is probably the most surprising thing for the Purifiers in decades.

However, she felt that it would be very interesting, so she decided to give in a little, and her words revealed the air of tax evasion: "That won't do. At least you have to tell me whether your commander is a man or a woman."

"I have not determined the commander's gender either."

Hu Teng's eyes darkened slightly and he spoke the truth.

"???"

Purification's eyes widened in shock, almost glowing like a light bulb. She had never seen such insincere negotiations. When the members of the council came to them to form an alliance, although they were ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, at least they did provide a lot of valuable intelligence.

"I am talking to you like this, which means that the commander is asking me to show you goodwill on his behalf. That's enough."

Hu Teng didn't feel very good. Although Zhou He said that she could reveal some information appropriately, even during the video communication, the Purifier couldn't see Zhou He's true face and voice, which meant that Zhou He didn't want the Purifier to know about his own affairs. As for Zhou He's special abilities? She would never tell Siren.

"Well, you guys don't take me for an idiot, do you?"

Qingchun felt that there was nothing wrong with what Hu Teng said, but once they got out of here, they would be enemies fighting to the death. What was the point of just showing goodwill? Could it be that she was collaborating with the enemy?

Tsk.

Hu Teng's eyebrows were drawn together. Isn't this guy an idiot?

"You smacked your lips just now! You still have one more chance to exchange information with me before I get angry."

Purification Qin completely understood that he was underestimated, and the smile on his face disappeared. Instead, he became serious for the first time: "I still have to communicate and command other bases, so I don't have time to waste here."

Hu Teng thought about it and realized that the Purifiers were not interested in any information except that of their own commander, so there was really nothing to talk about. So he simply turned around and left, leaving the Purifier with his back.

“This guy, I don’t understand.”

She couldn't even handle the purification mission because she had deployed many hosts into the experimental world and collected a lot of information about ship girls, such as Count Spee and Akashi who came with Hutten. If there were only these two people, she could easily deal with them.

However, Hu Teng only appeared a few times in the huge experimental world, and not much combat data was collected, let alone his personality, which is basically equivalent to no record.

Judging from her attitude, could it be that the commander behind her is just here to try his luck and doesn't have to cooperate with her?

"It would be great if we could connect to the host. What on earth is going on here?"

Purification was also troubled. Logically speaking, the Mirror Sea couldn't cut off her connection with her own host. Even if she really came to this destroyed world, she should still be able to connect to the host here.

But it didn't work. Both sides were disconnected. It wasn't just a communication problem. Such an active nightmare entity would definitely be captured by their equipment and dealt with by people in a short period of time. However, it had been more than a day and no orders or reinforcements had arrived. It was as if this place was cut off from the outside world. No one could get out of here and no one could get in from the outside.

But a bad omen is a bad omen, and it must be eliminated no matter what.

“So is this mobile device going to be given or not?”

After thinking about the scroll, the Purifier finally decided to give the thing to Hu Teng.

As for the reason?

Please, this is their base camp. As long as Akashi dismantles the equipment, what hard drive can't he get? Giving them a mobile hard drive can ensure that the equipment will not be forcibly dismantled and stop the loss in time.

"You damned fellows, you actually underestimated me like this. Once I resolve this bad omen, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"

Purification thought viciously in his heart.

Chapter 138 Mutual understanding is important

At twelve o'clock noon, the black storm that had stayed in the middle of the sea for nearly a day and a night finally moved. It began to move towards the southeast, surrounded by many black blurry figures on the sea that were not affected by the wind at all.

"The Siren fleet is approaching here. Once the storm has moved away, it will be our turn to take action."

The lobby on the first floor of the command building, standing tall in the wind, no longer had the relaxed atmosphere it had before. Many ship girls were sitting or standing around Zhou He, watching him holding a pen and pointing at the hand-drawn map he had just drawn on the coffee table.

Yesterday, during the battle with the ominous entity, several aircraft carriers that could not help in the battle cleverly dispersed their planes and ran away from most of the maps near the port area. Later, Hu Teng and the other two went to the Siren base, and the journey was smooth, allowing Zhou He to see the Siren production base on the map. Therefore, he got the intelligence as soon as the Siren fleet set off, and estimated their speed. He hand-drew a rough distribution map of the Siren fleet and the ominous entity when the battle took place.

Two of the Siren's bases are located just north of the port area, and the other two are located in the southeast and southwest, forming a strange triangle. Zhou He didn't want to know why the Siren was built like this. He only knew that if he defeated the bad omen and solved this mirror sea, he would be able to get the rewards for the two tasks of "defeating the bad omen entity" and "exploring the mirror sea".

Leaving aside the rewarding Mind Cube, these two tasks combined give three boxes of furniture of your choice!

What does this mean? It means that he can install three large buildings, namely "White Eagle Station", "Eight Sakura Station" and "Royal Station" at one time, to solve the housing problem of more than a hundred ship girls in the future. Even if these faction symbols are not installed, he can also invest in large-scale facilities for life and entertainment such as "amusement parks" and "greenhouses" to consolidate the infrastructure of the port area.
