Daily life with the ship girl

Bismarck was very strong-willed. Although she and Li Ran became lovers, she had not met her admiral for more than a month, let alone being intimate with him. Even their communications were rare.

Rodney just saw Bismarck put down the sea ear, she was a little worried:

"Bismarck, is this really okay for you? The Admiral hasn't seen you for a month, right? If you have time, please go back to your home port."

"I will." Bismarck also understood that she was indeed like a person who had suffered a broken heart, but she did not quite understand this kind of feeling, or rather, she was a little confused.

"You, if you could be more confident sometimes, the admiral would be completely fascinated by you." Rodney joked. She knew that Bismarck was a Prussian soldier. Rigorous, rigid and harsh were their characteristics.

Bismarck has changed a lot, Rodney can clearly feel it, but Bismarck has suppressed her feminine charm and seems to have some concerns.

"Sister Bismarck, are you thinking about Senior Tirpitz?" Prince Eugen knew Bismarck's character well. She kept some things to herself and took many responsibilities on her own, but she was also worried because Li Ran seemed to have said that he didn't like his ship girl to be too strong-willed.

Therefore, Prince Eugen decided to let Bismarck meet Tirpitz as soon as possible, and of course take the opportunity of going to the First Ship Girl Academy together to let Bismarck and the admiral deepen their relationship.

We can’t let Sister Bismarck lose to that guy! Humph!

Chapter 256: Lexington and Saratoga

At Dawn Pier, Lexington and Saratoga left the port together. Although there were no other ship girls escorting them, the two of them were not afraid of encountering small-scale deep seas during the day. At least their training levels had reached nearly level 60.

Saratoga was in a complicated mood at this time. She looked at her sister who remained silent, and then said:

"Sister, the Admiral didn't sleep all night, did he?"

"Probably. The Admiral must be very distressed after something like this happened."

For the first time, Lexington felt that he had failed in his duty. He had originally thought that managing the port only required following what he had learned in the academy. However, after becoming the secretary ship, he discovered that the actual situation was more complicated than the examples he had learned in the academy's simulation classes.

As for training, she originally thought that as long as the amount of training increased, everyone's level would be improved, and their equipment would become better, the port area would also become better.

However, the current situation is that when they encounter the deep sea, they can only be forced to deal with it and cannot take the initiative at all.

"Jia Jia, I think we haven't achieved what Vice President Langley said about applying what we have learned."

"Sister? Are you worried about the battle last night?"

"Yeah, sometimes it's frustrating that we can't provide air support at night."

"Well, but isn't the admiral asking the fairies to research night vision radar for aviation? I think if we go back to the academy and talk to Vice President Langley, the academy should be able to provide a lot of help."

Saratoga had no idea what night vision radar for aviation meant, and she said it without thinking.

"Jia Jia, this is the only thing you can't tell anyone, understand?" Lexington was not as naive as Saratoga. It was true that every year, countless new ship equipment was developed, but the ship equipment that really caused change had not appeared for a long time.

When she was in the First Academy of Ship Girls, she heard that ten years ago, it was an era of explosive growth in new ship equipment and also the most turbulent era. The hero aircraft that many ship girls pursued appeared at that time. However, today, thirty years later, there is not a single ship equipment that can cause a world-class shock.

"Why?" Saratoga was a little confused. Although she thought it was important to equip the aircraft carrier with ship equipment, her sister would not easily show such a serious expression.

"Because the Admiral has unknowingly accomplished a feat that the Governor-General did thirty years ago."

"Sister, do you mean the development of aviation night vision radar?"

"Well, no one is here now, so I'll just talk to you. You know hero planes, right? Those hero planes that our aircraft carrier girls have been pursuing all their lives appeared in large numbers thirty years ago. Each hero plane is enough to make the aircraft carrier girls burst out with more powerful air combat capabilities, but this improvement is an individual improvement."

Lexington said as she felt the carrier-based aircraft she had launched flying through the clouds. Although she had already switched to the [Sea Fang] and [Flying Dragon], she had seen the [I-16 (Zhe Shengji)] left behind by a legendary aircraft carrier girl who had disappeared in the academy, so she knew what the so-called hero aircraft was like.

However, this type of hero machine is not enough for all aircraft carrier girls to equip, which means it is not very versatile.

The real change refers to the event that can bring about the greatest change in the naval bases around the world. The emergence of heroic machines in the past thirty years can be regarded as part of the changes of that era. It was also the era that established the status of aircraft carriers and ship girls in naval bases around the world.

Saratoga was not a dull person. She heard what Lexington said, fell into deep thought, and then said:

"Sister, do you mean versatility? Just like [Sea Fang] and [Flying Dragon], they are very versatile, and as long as you work hard, many tutelary forts can be equipped by the ship girls under your command. Is this what you mean?"

"Yes, that's right. Only equipment with strong versatility will become the mainstream. Jia Jia, do you think that when encountering deep sea, a legendary ship girl can deal with hundreds of deep seas?"

"Of course it's impossible. No matter how powerful the legendary shipgirl is, if she is trapped in the deep sea without support, she will sink. This is what Vice President Langley said in class. I remember it."

"You, you're the only one who didn't skip Vice President Langley's class. Don't think I don't know."

"Hey, sister, this is not important. Please continue talking. What I say is much easier to understand than those old-fashioned teachers in the academy."

Lexington listened, and then looked at her sister with amusement. She felt relieved, nodded and continued:

"Well, teamwork is the most effective and most commonly used tactic against the deep sea, and it is also the most targeted. Ship equipment, after all, only provides individual strength. However, if there is a ship equipment that allows us, the ship girls of aircraft carriers, to fight at night, even if the fighting at night can only last for a short period of time, what does this mean, do you understand?"

"Sister, no way, you mean, the admiral actually wants to change the traditional tactical pattern?"

"Well, it seems that you have not been lazy in the past two months. You know the tactical situation now. It seems that you have really read the book "The History of Tactical Change". I am very happy."

"Sister, that's a book you've treasured for a long time. I've wanted to read it for a long time. But, whose name is crossed out in this book?"

"Ah, that book is a collector's edition. The owner is the legendary ship girl who disappeared from the academy, the owner of the heroic machine [I-16 (Zhe Sheng Ji)]. However, the name seems to be taboo, so I don't know the senior's name either."

"Is that so? That's a shame. The handwriting used in the notes in that senior's book is very similar to the admiral's. It's very easy to understand, so I understand it. But the change in the tactical pattern, isn't this difficult to implement?"

"Yes, it is difficult, but it is precisely because it is difficult that it is valuable. I originally thought that the Admiral's ship equipment development plan was a bit unrealistic, but later I asked the leaders of the many fairies, and they told me that as long as there is enough time, it is not a fantasy to truly develop an aviation night vision radar."

"Sister, do you mean that the admiral's new ship equipment will become an opportunity to trigger a change in the tactical pattern?"

"That's right. So, if we go back to the academy, we can't tell anyone about the development of the new ship equipment in the port area. Do you understand?"

"I see." Saratoga nodded. She had heard that the research department at the port was working intensively on the development of new ship equipment, but she did not expect that this new ship equipment would be so significant.

"Don't be so nervous. The secrecy is only temporary. Our port area is not strong enough right now. We have a certain ability to protect ourselves from the deep sea. If we deal with other aspects, the pressure is still a bit great. It is necessary to keep some trump cards to protect ourselves."

"Sister, are you worried that the burden on the admiral's shoulders is too heavy?"

"Yes, although the admiral has never told us about his plans, and he risked his life to go out and meet someone last time and kept silent, I understand that the admiral has his own plans. But if I have to trouble the admiral even for trivial matters, as a secretary ship, I always feel that I have failed in my duty."

Lexington still remembered the incident that inexplicably caused the atmosphere in the garrison to become awkward. To this day, she still couldn't figure out where she had touched the admiral's minefield, but she couldn't help but care.

Because I care, I pay attention.

Lexington did not realize that his feelings towards Li Ran were no longer limited to that of a subordinate towards his commander.

From originally addressing Li Ran as Commander to now being accustomed to the title of Admiral, this change undoubtedly reflects the change in her state of mind.

Saratoga, who was a bystander, nodded and said:

"I see. Sister, you are always like this. If you are worried, you should speak up sometimes. The Admiral can be a very dull person sometimes."

"Hey, let's stop chatting here. Let's go to Helena and the others as soon as possible. Although I am confident that they can defeat the Deep Sea, it is still a bit uneasy if I can't be sure of victory."

"Sister, look, aren't they coming?" Saratoga raised her head, and her carrier-based aircraft fleet saw Helena and the others who were coming, and said to her sister.

Lexington looked in the direction her sister said, and sure enough, she saw several black spots coming in the distance. She finally felt relieved.

Chapter 257: Kent's Persistence

In the western waters of Xiguang Island, about 26 nautical miles from the home port, after Helena and her crew rescued Kent, they did not find any other newly awakened ship girls, so they decided to return.

"Sister Helena, are those carrier-based aircraft? They are golden, so cool." Omaha was on the left side of the team at this time, and said to Helena in front of him.

"It should be Lexington and Saratoga and their reputation. Can you still hold on?" Helena nodded, but she was more concerned about taking care of Kent's reputation.

"It's okay, I can hold on for a while." Fatigue was obvious in Reputation's words. After all, the weight of the heavy cruiser's ship equipment should not be underestimated. If Reputation was not a battlecruiser, it would take more time for the light cruiser girls to bring back Kent, whose water drive unit was damaged.

Therefore, the head maid just shook her head, and then looked at Kent, who was already embarrassed to lower his head, with encouragement in her tone:

"Keep your head up, you are also a member of the Royal Navy, you can't be discouraged by this injury!"

"Sister Reputation..."

Kent looked at the maid who was supporting him. The ship suit she was wearing was more powerful than his, and obviously quite heavy. She said weakly:

"I'm heavy, right?"

"Nothing." Reputation moved the ship equipment behind her in a casual manner, but as she watched the distance between herself and the light cruiser girls gradually widen, she still lost.

But thinking that little Kent was very weak, she still didn't want to make this weak ship girl worry, so she smiled coolly.

"Roar..." The little tiger Qiuqiu tilted his furry little head, looked at his owner, then looked at Shengming, then he felt a little bored, so he jumped into the air, lay on Kent's head, and let his tail hang down lazily.

"Qiuqiu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Kent felt that Qiuqiu seemed to have no energy, and she was a little worried.

"Hooooo..."

Of course the little tiger felt uncomfortable. Although it was a ship-mounted pet, it still had land habits and the ocean was not a place it liked very much.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the man and the pet, Shengyu smiled with satisfaction and said softly:

“That’s great.”

"Sister Shengwang?" Kent looked at Shengwang strangely. She asked curiously:

"what happened?"

"It's okay. By the way, Kent, have you decided where to go next time?"

Galatia just happened to come over at this time. After all, Mingwang had unknowingly distanced himself from them because of the speed. She was not very reassured. As soon as she arrived next to Mingwang and Kent, she heard Mingwang's question and she became a little nervous.

What should I do? Should I tell Sister Reputation about my guess?

I'd better not do it. Will Sister Reputation think I'm too much of a troublemaker?

No, Kent is so cute, we can't let other admirals take advantage of him. Even if we have to find an admiral for Kent, let's choose the admiral of the prestigious sister. In that case, Kent will definitely not be bullied, after all, the prestigious sister is there.

Having made up her mind, she decided to listen to Kent's thoughts first.

Kent saw Galatea coming and she greeted him:

"Thank you, Galatea."

"You're welcome, Sister Reputation. Are you okay? Should I ask Helena-senpai to slow down?"

"No need, we're almost at the dock now, just speed up and don't worry about me." Reputation waved her hand. She was the strongest head maid, how could she feel exhausted by something like this!

Although it is really heavy, the head maid has to remain cool at all times and not let others see that she is in a mess.

Galatea looked at the strange aura that suddenly emanated from his body, and she complained in her heart:

Could it be that the maid soul of the famous sister has begun to burn again?

Reputation was stunned for a moment, then realized that Kent hadn't answered her question yet, so she calmed down and said:

"Kent, you still have to find an admiral in the future, right? It must be very tiring if you are alone. I wonder if you can stay in our garrison for a while. The admiral is a very kind person. If you can stay, the admiral should be very happy."

When Kent heard the word "haunted", she became a little nervous. Although she was teleported dozens of miles away from her builder by the white light, she still had a certain impression of the builder's aura.

Although Kent had never seen her builder, she felt that if she found the builder, she would recognize him immediately. So she glanced at the reputation weakly and said in a low voice:

"Well, Sister Shengwang should know how I feel about wanting to meet the builder. I feel the same way. Although I was teleported to a faraway sea right after construction, I can feel that if I see the builder, I will definitely recognize him. So, I'm sorry, Sister Shengwang, I can't agree to your request for the time being."

Reputation sighed, and then smiled with relief:

"I didn't think enough. Yes, it's a feeling that is hard to describe. Kent, I'm sorry. I was so rude."

"No, I know Sister Shengwang is afraid that I will be bullied, but Kent is a heavy cruiser and will definitely protect herself. Sister Shengwang, don't worry."

Little Kent was obviously a little unconfident, but she wanted to see her builder no matter what. The person who woke her up from the darkness but lost her, she wanted to see him as soon as possible.

Newly born ship girls often have a strong sense of expectation for their builders, but the duration of this expectation varies.

For Kent, who encountered a reef accident and was far away from the construction device just after being built, the feeling of being lost in the sea for a whole night was just like the feeling of living in the darkness before she was built.

I feel lonely, isolated, and completely silent, as if I have been abandoned by the world. I know I am alive, but I can't find any proof.

It was not easy to get out of that dark world and feel the real ocean with Qiuqiu. Kent would never give up looking for his builder, even if his impression of him was just a vague outline.

"Hey, Kent, but do you want to find it based on your intuition?" Galatea thought this method was a bit stupid, and she couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, I just have a feeling that Kent's builders must be waiting for me and Qiuqiu not far away." Kent didn't understand why he was so confident, he just felt that this hope was something he had to keep no matter what.

She didn't want to be abandoned in this world from the beginning, she wanted to find proof of her existence.

Only the builder can give this proof.

Galatea and Reputation exchanged a glance. She looked at Reputation and shook her head slightly. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to ask clearly:

"But Kent, have you ever thought about where your supplies come from? What does the ball eat? Is it going to drift on the ocean with you?"

Kent was stumped by Galatea's question. She looked a little confused, reached out and gently stroked the tiger cub's fur, then said firmly:

"I will work hard on my own, even if it means going to work, and I will never give up looking for him."

"Huh?" Galatea was stunned for a moment, then shrugged slightly.

Reputation was also a little surprised, but the Shenwen ship girl could understand each other. She nodded and said:

"Would you like to work at my garrison? My admiral should be able to offer you a high salary. You can also train with us during normal times. When you are fully prepared, you can leave at any time. How do you think?"
