Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

Chkalov shook his head.

"I won't do anything so extreme. The Commander is a very precious person to me... I will treat you in the most gentle way."

After hearing this, Du Lin became even more agitated.

When she said "very precious", Chkalov paused unnaturally, and it was obvious that she was choosing her words carefully.

"...Haha, but I also know that this is impossible."

Chkalov spread his hands:

"Forget it, Commander, why did you come to see me this time? I have to state in advance that I am not conducting any dangerous experiments."

Du Lin took the empty can from the other person and threw it into the trash can nearby.

"Come to think of it, Chkalov, you didn't attend the Sea Opening Festival yesterday. Did you not have time? Or are you not interested in the sea?"

Chkalov was a little surprised by the sudden change of topic.

She smiled bitterly:

"Please spare me. The sea breeze is nice, but the sun is a bit unbearable. Once you get used to living in a laboratory, you will become bad at dealing with the sun..."

"Yeah......"

Du Lin was not surprised by this response:

"But you still need to rest when you need to. Go to the beach. The beach in the port area is a first-class place now."

"Eh..." Chkalov narrowed his eyes and looked at Dulin:

"...Together?"

Du Lin was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Ah, I don't mind..."

Volume 219: Chapter Physical Examination

Chkalov was not very interested in the seaside, but it would be a different story if Du Lin accompanied him.

Chkalov leaned against the wall and folded his arms, which made her feel a little more comfortable.

"Let's get back to the point. Commander, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, actually..."

Du Lin spoke out what he had prepared in the future tense, including but not limited to the changes brought about by the Original Rubik's Cube in his body, and the information Nagato obtained through the sacred tree.

At first, Chkalov was still panting and looked absent-minded, but gradually her expression changed and she became serious.

When Chkalov heard what Nagato saw after connecting with Durin's soul, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Finally, Du Lin finished speaking. It had been a long time since he had spoken so many words in one breath, and Du Lin felt dry in the mouth.

"interesting......"

Chkalov rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful.

Chkalov had long known about the changes in Durin's physical condition. After the original Rubik's Cube disappeared, Chkalov conducted multiple detailed examinations of Durin's body.

By comparing the data, Chkalov discovered something unusual.

Du Lin has made significant improvements in bone density, flesh strength, nerve reaction speed, etc.

If Du Lin's physique before was considered an excellent example among humans, then after that Du Lin almost exceeded the limits of humans.

"It seems that a more in-depth investigation is necessary."

Chkalov licked his lips and became completely excited.

For her, investigating and studying Turin itself is the most wonderful subject. Now there are new changes. How can she not be excited?

Seeing Chkalov's appearance, Du Lin's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly felt a little uneasy:

"Chekalov, let me make it clear in advance that autopsies are not allowed."

Du Lin doesn't want to be a guinea pig.

"Ha, Commander, what do you think of me?" Chkalov smiled and grabbed Dulin's wrist, as if to prevent him from escaping:

"Okay, come with me to the workshop. The equipment we just installed can be put into use right away."

"I...I understand."

Du Lin became more and more worried, but just as the two were about to take a step, Chkalov suddenly walked to the vending machine, pressed a few buttons quickly, took out a bottle of soda and handed it to Du Lin:

"...Before that, you should drink a bottle of water and relax...Are you thirsty?"

Du Lin's throat rolled. He had just said so many words and was indeed a little thirsty.

But he didn't expect that Chkalov actually noticed this.

It's really... surprising.

After drinking the water, Du Lin followed Chkalov to her exclusive workshop.

After the automatic door opened and he stepped in, what came into Du Lin's sight was a huge space filled with various complex and sophisticated instruments.

In an instant, the subtle roar of various machines in operation sounded in Du Lin's mind.

"here......"

Du Lin was dumbfounded, looking up at the huge equipment he had never seen before.

Chkalov put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and walked to a panel, sliding her fingers across it.

"This is my upgraded workshop. Hmm... should I give it a name?"

Chkalov turned his head and looked at Dulin:

"Commander, do you have any good suggestions?"

Du Lin came to his senses. He didn't expect Chkalov to give him such a task.

"...Is it necessary to give it a name?"

"Of course." Chkalov nodded and said as a matter of course:

"A suitable name can inspire researchers' fighting spirit, and wouldn't it be easier to apply for funding?"

Hey, the second half of the sentence is what you really mean.

Although Du Lin complained in his heart, since it was Chkalov's wish, he naturally had to satisfy it.

"Um......"

Du Lin frowned slightly and racked his brains but couldn't think of a good name.

He was terrible at naming and had never come up with any good names. This kind of thing was not suitable for him.

After worrying for a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to Du Lin.

"Ah, got it." Du Lin looked up at the other party and said confidently:

"How about calling it [Chekalov Design Bureau]?"

"......"

The scene was deathly silent; even the sounds of the operating instruments became fainter.

"Ah..." Chkalov held his forehead and sighed:

"I really don't dare to pin my hopes on the commander. Wait... [Chekalov Design Bureau], haha, named after me? It seems not bad..."

Chkalov's attitude began to change. The more she thought about the name given by Dulin, the more it appealed to her.

"That's right, that's the name." Chkalov nodded to Dulin:

"You will use this name when applying for research funding. Commander, please don't do something stingy like withholding funds."

Du Lin couldn't help laughing:

"Don't worry, from now on, the Chkalov Design Bureau will have enough funding. Of course, you shouldn't waste too much."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Chkalov smiled.

"Okay, let's do a comprehensive check first."

In the following period, Du Lin underwent detailed physical examinations under Chkalov's arrangement.

Many of these were carried out using mysterious instruments that Du Lin had never seen before.

Du Lin was nervous throughout the whole process, but fortunately everything was normal and no unexpected accidents occurred.

"Um......"

Chkalov stared at the data on the projection, while Du Lin was lying on a bed as warm as jade...it would be more appropriate to say that it was a platform.

At this time, Du Lin was only wearing a pair of shorts, with electrodes attached to various parts of his body.

"Um...is there something wrong with the data?" Du Lin asked cautiously.

Chkalov shook his head slightly:

"...No, very healthy data..."

Du Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but Chkalov's next words made him anxious again.

"...by Kanmusu standards."

"Eh?" Du Lin opened his eyes wide. If he wasn't connected to various detection instruments, he would have sat up.

"What does it mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Chkalov turned to face Dulin, his voice trembling with excitement:

"Commander, your physical condition is closer to that of a ship girl."

"Whether it's the level of neural activity or the strength of the body... they are far beyond the range of what a human should have. You have noticed this recently, right?"

Du Lin was silent.

It is indeed so...

Du Lin had suspected this before, and Chkalov's words confirmed his suspicion.

Volume 220: Chapter : Violent Extraction

During these days, Du Lin partied every night and performed high-intensity physical labor every day.

Not only that, the whole process was accompanied by overeating, reversing day and night, etc., and Du Lin had to work at his desk during the day.

It can be said that Durin's days and nights are both extremely intense, which puts a huge burden on the body.

These may seem normal when taken individually, but when combined together, even a strong person will be quickly exhausted. It is absolutely impossible for him to be as calm as Du Lin and become more and more energetic.

Every time he spent a night in the arms of his beloved, Du Lin was in high spirits, although he always complained about the "hard work".

After listening to Chkalov's words, Du Lin finally confirmed the changes that had taken place in himself.

"I understand."

Du Lin's tone was exceptionally calm.

"Oh?"

Chkalov came closer and said with interest:

"...Commander, don't you feel uneasy?"

"Why should you feel uneasy?" Du Lin turned his head to look at Chkalov, showing his white teeth:

"If there is something wrong with this change, you won't be so relaxed, Chkalov."

"...Oh, such an answer... Really."

Chkalov put his hand on his forehead and chuckled:

"It seems that my image in your mind has further to decline."

Dulin knew that this was a way for Chkalov to cover up his shyness.

Although he always said that he wanted to study Durin from the inside out, Chkalov had not done anything to really hurt Durin so far.
