Daily life with the ship girl

Firefly and Sigsby were particularly afraid of Bismarck, the big sister of the battleship, so they could only look at Li Ran with resentment on their faces and followed Bismarck reluctantly.

Juneau and Pinghai were responsible for cleaning up the dishes, while Saratoga was called by Lexington to inspect the warehouse and count the incoming resources.

Li Ran looked at Saratoga, who lowered her head and walked towards the warehouse area with a bit of disappointment. He smiled bitterly:

"Lexington, are you being too harsh on Gaga?"

"The port area is short of staff, and doing this can help the commander. After all, the safety of the port area is the top priority. This concerns the safety of the commander. Gaga is capable, but she is too playful. I spoiled her too much in the academy." Lexington watched her sister's back disappear into the depths of the forest path. She sighed, turned around, and said to Li Ran seriously.

Li Ran spread his hands, shrugged and said:

"I can't argue with you. No wonder Firefly and Sigsby always skip your evening classes."

Lexington rolled his eyes at Li Ran and regained his composure:

"Speaking of evening classes, the commander seems to have forgotten them for several days?"

Li Ran laughed and said:

"Well, let's go to Dajian quickly, ha."

As he spoke, Li Ran walked forward.

Lexington sighed and followed. As the secretary ship of the port, she was worried sick. But none of them made her feel relieved. She was helpless. However, she thought that this major construction should be able to relieve her pressure. She followed and walked to Li Ran's side. She still cared about Li Ran's opinion. She said:

"Will the Commander think that I..."

Li Ran heard what Lexington said, and he said as he walked:

"You are doing everything for the good of the port. I understand your painstaking efforts, but I just hope that you don't take everything on your own shoulders and don't have too much pressure. Some things can't be rushed. There is still a long way to go in building the port. Jiajia and the others still have a lot to learn, but all of these have to be done slowly, right?"

Lexington looked at Li Ran's profile and said softly:

"Commander, are you concerned about me?"

Li Ran touched his nose and happened to see the construction device. He did not deny it:

"Of course, you are my ship girl. If I don't care about you, who should I care about?"

Lexington said coquettishly:

"What a perfunctory answer."

Li Ran looked a little embarrassed, and he said quickly:

"Well, I'll go notify the fairies to bring the resources over."

Lexington looked at Li Ran with some amusement, feeling somewhat helpless. She said:

"Commander, the resources have been prepared long ago."

"Where?" Li Ran was a little confused. Apart from the construction equipment, there was no sign of any resources here.

Lexington was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that in the past half month, everyone had been busy working on the construction of the port area and had neglected the construction of the equipment. She quickly said:

"I forgot to tell you, Commander. The fairies said that this construction device will automatically extract resources from the warehouse according to the Commander's wishes, without having to transport resources every time construction is carried out."

Li Ran nodded, somewhat skeptical. Although he had seen the methods of the magical fairies before, he had never used this construction device except for opening it a long time ago. How did the fairies know about it?

However, he chose to trust Lexington, walked back to the device, and said to the artificial intelligence that built the device with some trepidation:

"Beginning the first type of construction."

"Please select the ratio of four resources. There are two construction opportunities left this week."

Li Ran was a little embarrassed. Seeing Lexington coming over, he asked:

“What formula should I enter?”

"The resources in the port are only enough to build light cruisers or heavy cruisers, right? Aren't there thousands of resources for battleships? No, Commander, last time you..."

"Yes, I used the least amount of resources to build Bismarck and Peace Sea last time. Perhaps my construction formula is really different from that of other admirals."

Lexington nodded slightly. She thought for a moment and realized that the port area was currently lacking light cruiser girls and heavy cruiser girls, so she said:

"The port area's air defense formation is insufficient. If we rely on Ping Hai alone, the pressure will be too great."

Li Ran heard what Lexington said, he thought for a moment and said:

"So you mean to build a light cruiser. In that case, let me think of the formula."

Lexington was a little nervous, but also a little expectant. Although she was shocked that Li Ran's 3363 formula produced battleships and light cruisers, since large-scale construction could save resources, that would be the best. She had actually made plans for the worst. For example, in this large-scale construction, her biggest hope was to produce light cruisers or destroyers. As for battleships or battlecruisers, she didn't dare to ask for it for the time being.

Li Ran didn't know that Lexington still thought that his last construction was just luck. He thought about the construction formula. He wanted to test his own bloodline for this construction. He decided to bet on the battleship in the first shot, but he didn't use 3363 this time. After all, he couldn't guarantee that the last time 3363 produced the cat formula, the scene would happen again, so he said:

"The construction resource ratio is: 400 units of oil, 80 units of bullets, 650 units of steel, and 130 units of aluminum."

"A new formula has been generated. This is the first time this formula has been created. Do you want to record it?"

"Yes."

"It has been recorded. Since you have contributed two magical construction formulas, you will be rewarded with an extra construction opportunity this week. Please provide more construction formulas, and there will be more rewards. Do you confirm to proceed with the first type of construction now?"

"Confirmed." Li Ran took a deep breath. He didn't understand what the artificial intelligence of the construction device meant, but being rewarded with a construction opportunity was an unexpected surprise. He nervously pulled the lever.

The construction time on the construction device began to tick, and Li Ran watched nervously as the numbers began to slow down.

"5:20?" Li Ran widened his eyes and saw the time stopped at five hours and twenty minutes. Lexington was also surprised and said:

"Another battleship?"

Li Ran nodded hurriedly. He was a little excited. Richelieu could not be wrong. This construction time was so unique. He paced back and forth excitedly.

Lexington looked at Li Ran and sighed:

"Commander, we are running low on steel in the port area."

Li Ran came back to his senses. Yes, he had used up one-third of the steel in the port area in order to test the bloodline. He was a little embarrassed and said quickly:

"Here. Isn't this for testing bloodline? Oh, right, there are still two more construction opportunities. Just now, the machine said that I provided a brand new formula and rewarded one. I promise that this time I will bet on a light cruiser or a destroyer."

Lexington sighed, and she joked about a witty saying that she had heard at the First Ship Girl Academy, which was circulated among admirals:

"Commander, if other admirals heard you say this, they would be stabbed to death with a spear."

Li Ran scratched his head, feeling somewhat proud:

"That can't be helped. Your admiral is just so ruthless."

Lexington was helpless, but she was actually very happy. With one more battleship, the port's powerful firepower would be guaranteed. She said:

"Go ahead, Commander, while you still have the energy."

Li Ran nodded hurriedly, then looked at the construction device and entered the second formula.

Chapter 42: On the Correspondence between Body Size and Detection Value

The formula that Li Ran entered was one that he rarely used when playing games. He said to the construction device:

"130 units of oil, 30 units of bullets, 130 units of steel, and 30 units of aluminum."

"Are you sure?"

"Confirmed." Li Ran said, pulled the lever, and then the construction time began to tick.

At this time, the construction device artificial intelligence said:

“Since this formula is also appearing for the first time, accumulating three new formulas will reward you with a chance to reduce the construction time by 2 hours.”

Li Ran touched his nose. It seemed that there was no construction formula in this world? Or was there something wrong with their construction formula?

Just as he was daydreaming, the construction time finally stopped at 1:20.

"Could it be a Brooklyn-class light cruiser?"

Li Ran was a little disappointed. It was just a light cruiser. He thought about it and decided that since there was an opportunity to build it quickly, why not use it?

So he thought for a moment and said:

"I want to take advantage of the opportunity to shave 2 hours off the build time."

"Please choose the object to be used? Construction Warehouse No. 1 or Construction Warehouse No. 2?"

"Construction Warehouse No. 2."

"Used successfully, your construction has been completed, please wait for your ship girl to meet you."

As the construction device's artificial intelligence spoke, white steam rose from the portal of the construction device and a figure slowly walked out from inside.

Li Ran was a little excited. Who is this ship girl?

Lexington was a little surprised to see that Li Ran had suddenly built a ship, but she just looked quietly at the figure shrouded in white steam, and was also looking forward to the joining of new companions.

Li Ran and Lexington finally waited until the white steam dissipated, and then the figure walked out.

Li Ran looked at the person who came in with long purple hair and a faint smile on her oval face. She was wearing a high-cut tights, revealing a pair of amazing big breasts that swayed as she walked. She looked like a queen, and Li Ran almost had a nosebleed.

Lexington also saw this scene. She couldn't help but compare herself secretly. Mrs. Wenwan's face fell. She actually lost.

Helena looked at Li Ran and Lexington. As a ship girl, she knew the other ship girls from the United States, so she immediately knew who her admiral was. However, being stared at like that made her a little shy. She blushed and began to introduce herself:

"I'm a light cruiser, the Helena... Please don't look at me like that, I really am a light cruiser."

Li Ran showed an expression of "it's you" and Lexington felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue. As an aircraft carrier, she was outshined by a light cruiser. She looked at her chest and felt frustrated, deeply frustrated.

Li Ran felt that he had indeed lost his composure, but there was nothing he could do. Helena's figure was simply too hot, especially her big... cough cough, he quickly retracted his gaze and his tone became serious:

"Hello, Helena, welcome to my port."

Helena felt that her ship girl uniform was still a little tight, and she felt very uncomfortable, but when she heard Li Ran's words, she quickly responded:

"Admiral, please give me your guidance in the future. Helena will provide the most perfect intelligence analysis for your port area!"

Of course Li Ran knew Helena's transformed skills. Not to mention her night combat skills, her other skill [Intelligence Analysis] was a magical skill that increased her own enemy detection and hit rate, and it was a buff for the entire team.

He felt somewhat fortunate, because he was not in the game now, and it was impossible for him to get Helena as a gift after reaching level 20 like in the game. Now that it had been built and shipped, he could finally feel relieved. One of the most powerful light cruisers had arrived at the port, and he believed that his port's air defense capability would be improved to a higher level.

So Li Ran politely shook hands with Helena and said to her:

“This is Lexington.”

Lexington looked at Helena. The gentle lady would not show her emotions on her face, as that was too rude. Although she was a little angry about the other party's low breast size, Lexington still kept smiling and said:

"Hello, Helena."

As Helena was on a U.S. ship, she could naturally feel the aura of Lexington that was similar to her own, and she felt very fortunate.

Although the hostile relationships they had in their previous lives no longer exist after the ship girls awaken, ship girls from different series will still have a certain sense of alienation. For ship girls from the same series, it is also easier to deepen their sense of identity, which is inevitable.

Helena quickly shook Lexington's hand. She was very happy and said:

"Hello."

Li Ran saw the two of them finished greeting each other. He took a deep breath and said to Lexington:

"Well, my luck is pretty good, right? Helena is an expert in intelligence, and her means of searching for enemies are very powerful. Am I right?"

"Admiral, you are too kind, but intelligence analysis is indeed my job. Please give me more guidance in the future. I will definitely protect the port area."

"Yeah." Li Ran nodded, and then said:

"Then I'll come one last time. This time the construction opportunity is given by the construction device. What do you think we should build?"

Lexington thought about it. As a secretary ship, she was a little concerned about Li Ran's praise for Helena. She thought about it for a while and then said:

"Commander, how about I introduce the situation in the port area to Helena and listen to her suggestions?"

When Li Ran heard what Lexington said, although he knew that his wife was not a stingy person, he still thought this was a test for Helena. He was also looking forward to seeing if Helena was really good at intelligence analysis, so he nodded and said:

"Helena, Lexington's suggestion is good, what do you think?"

Helena thought about it and thought that this was the admiral's trust, so she nodded and said:

"no problem."

Seeing that Li Ran had no intention of blaming her, Lexington breathed a sigh of relief and then talked seriously about the situation in the port area.

Helena listened, thought for a moment, and then began to analyze:

"The strong firepower representatives of the port area include Bismarck and the one under construction, the destroyers include Firefly and Sigsby, the light cruisers include Pinghai and I, the heavy cruiser is Quincy, and the aircraft carriers are Lexington and Saratoga. So, our port area actually has a relatively big problem. The anti-aircraft firepower is insufficient, and the number of destroyers is relatively small. In order to escort the two aircraft carriers, the number of frigates must be increased.

Therefore, I suggest that the admiral should increase the number of destroyer girls to more than 6 as soon as possible, the number of light cruiser girls to more than 4, and the number of heavy cruiser girls to more than 4. As for other positions, they will be sufficient for the time being.

Of course, if there are battlecruisers as high-speed warships, they can also provide more powerful ocean-going combat and defense capabilities. Moreover, looking at the long-term, the port area still lacks ship girl units such as submersible gunboats that can protect port terminals.

Finally, if the port area wants to truly establish a full range of defense, submarines responsible for underwater operations are also indispensable, and there must be about 4 light carriers that can protect submarines from deep-sea light cruisers and anti-submarine attacks. The above is what I thought of for the time being, and there may be many places that are not perfect, please don’t be surprised, Admiral. "
