Daily life with the ship girl

Li Ran didn't have a deep understanding of building equipment in the game, so he didn't know what the first one that appeared for more than an hour was, so he said to the artificial intelligence:

"The first piece of equipment uses a quick build opportunity."

"Construction completed. No ship suit adapter has been detected nearby. Please bring the ship suit adapter to the vicinity of this device for ship suit replacement."

Li Ran frowned, feeling a little distressed. He only thought of building new ship equipment, but did not anticipate how the ship girls would replace the ship equipment after they got it. Now, after hearing what the artificial intelligence said, he felt bitter that the replacement could only be completed when the ship girls were near the device.

But at this point, he could only wait for Sigsby to arrive and see if the little guy could be equipped.

However, when Li Ran waited until the second piece of ship equipment was completed, it was Pinghai who came instead of Sigsby.

"Where's Sigsby? You're so hurt..."

Pinghai looked determined, she looked at Li Ran seriously and said:

"Admiral, as a shipgirl of Country C, I cannot retreat just because I am injured. Moreover, Pinghai has already entered the channel. Please give me your instructions, Admiral!"

Li Ran then realized that except for the damaged cheongsam ship girl uniform on Ping Hai, the unfolded ship uniform was already brand new. It must be the work of the fairies. He sighed:

"Okay, but I don't know if you can carry these two pieces of ship equipment."

Pinghai's face lit up with joy. She nodded quickly and said with certainty:

"Certainly possible!"

Li Ran knew that Pinghai had always been brooding over that unforgettable failure in her memory. Now as a ship girl, she no longer wanted to escape. She had no choice back then, but now she had the power to choose. I had always promised her that I would realize her dream of becoming a naval officer. What reason did I have to stop her now?

So, Li Ran said to the construction device artificial intelligence:

"Can Pinghai be the adapter for these two ship suits?"

"Okay, it fully meets the requirements. Do you want to change your clothes immediately?"

"Go ahead."

As soon as Li Ran finished speaking, Ping Hai was enveloped by a deep blue light, and Li Ran could not see her figure at all. After a while, the light around Ping Hai dissipated, and then the ship's outfit was replaced with a new one.

"Congratulations, the refit was successful. It was detected that there is a huge design flaw in the speed of this ship. Do you want to use 4 units of each of the four resources to increase the speed by 10 knots?"

"Go ahead!" Li Ran was overjoyed. He had never thought that this construction device could have such a function, and he agreed quickly.

"The first experimental transformation has begun. The data collection function has been repaired. The data analysis function has been repaired. The success rate of this transformation is 95%. Once successful, this device will re-unlock the ship transformation function and restore the database operation."

Then, before Li Ran could react, Pinghai's clothes disappeared and he appeared naked in front of Li Ran. However, after a moment, this erotic scene was obscured by a deep blue light.

Pinghai's figure became just a blurry outline, and then Li Ran hurriedly checked her attributes, and the speed began to increase gradually.

What's more surprising is what's to come. Pinghai's carrying capacity has increased from zero to 3, which means that Pinghai is no longer a backward battleship girl, but can carry carrier-based aircraft just like her sister Ninghai after the transformation.

The transformation lasted for about ten minutes. The rain gradually became lighter. Finally, the experimental transformation was successfully completed. Pinghai appeared in front of Li Ran again, still naked. Shy Pinghai blushed and quickly put on her ship girl uniform. This kind of ship girl uniform, like the ship uniform, can be repaired as the ship girls enter the canal for repair.

Li Ran looked at Ping Hai's shy expression, smiled awkwardly, and asked awkwardly:

"how do you feel?"

"Feel?" Ping Hai unfolded the ship suit, closed her eyes and felt it for a while, then said in surprise:

"Admiral, my speed is amazing!"

"what happened?"

"My speed has exceeded 31 knots."

Li Ran's mouth twitched. Damn, this construction device, black technology, it really increased the speed by 10 knots. The transformation ability is too terrifying. However, he suddenly remembered the data collection function repair and data analysis ability repair mentioned by artificial intelligence, as well as the database that he cares about the most. It sounds like this construction device should be a high-tech product. No, it should be a black technology product. But how could this thing be abandoned on this island, and what happened to the previous garrison?

Li Ran's thoughts drifted away unconsciously, and then he heard the voice of the artificial intelligence and came back to his senses. He only heard it say:

"Due to insufficient transformation cores, the database repair progress is 1%, the data collection function repair progress is 2%, and the data analysis function repair progress is 5%. Please provide various transformation cores as soon as possible to complete the repair work of this device. There will be surprises when the time comes."

Li Ran's mouth twitched. This is really black technology. To repair this thing, the core needs to be modified. He asked nervously:

"How many transformation cores are needed to complete the restoration of all functions?"

"We need 100 destroyer transformation cores, 100 cruiser transformation cores, 100 battleship transformation cores, 100 aircraft carrier transformation cores, and 100 submarine transformation cores. Only when all the cores are gathered can we fully repair all functions."

Li Ran suddenly felt that his life was bleak. He secretly raised his middle finger at the construction device and didn't want to pay any attention to it.

Damn, this construction device must be black technology. Li Ran has heard about the transformation cores from Lexington. Each one is worth tens of thousands of resources. This construction device is simply an exorbitant price.

However, Li Ran changed his mind. Since it was just an experimental modification, it could increase the speed by 10 knots. Such a terrifying modification capability made him look forward to it. But now was not the time to think about it. He said to Ping Hai:

"Can you fight now?"

"No problem, Pinghai is ready."

"Then I'll ask you to go and support Lexington and the others. If the Deep Sea Fleet is too powerful, you have to pass on the order to retreat to them when necessary. Got it?"

"I know." Ping Hai nodded solemnly, and then said with full energy:

"Then Admiral, Pinghai is setting off!"

"Go ahead." Li Ran sighed barely audibly, but he still managed to calm down and said to her in an encouraging tone:

"Let them see the strength of Country C's shipgirl transformation!"

"Yeah!" Pinghai nodded heavily when she heard Li Ran say that, then rushed into the rain and ran quickly towards the port pier.

Li Ran watched Ping Hai's back disappear in the rain, and then he checked Ping Hai's data after the experimental transformation through the admiral's personal network:

Ship type: Light cruiser

Name: Ping Hai

Status: Experimental renovation phase 1 (can be renovated in phase 3, and formal renovation can be carried out after completing phase 3 experimental renovation)

Level: 15

Ship equipment: [C country twin 160 mm guns (experimental first phase modification results): air defense correction 20%] [Improved air defense radar: air defense correction 40%] [61 cm quadruple torpedo]

Speed: 31 knots (result of the first phase of experimental transformation)

Capacity: 3 (result of the first phase of experimental transformation)

Li Ran looked at Pinghai after the experimental transformation with a confused look on his face. It was completely different from the one in the game. Moreover, the 160mm caliber modified gun made his mouth twitch. This was the main gun installed on the light cruiser, second only to the Kirov gun, and the Kirov gun was only 180mm in caliber.

And looking at the instructions at the back, this is only the result of the first phase of experimental transformation. He dare not imagine what Pinghai will become after the third phase of experimental transformation is completed. Moreover, the formal transformation will be after the third phase of experimental transformation. Li Ran's heart is burning. He understands the terrifying potential of this construction device. With this black technology, it is no longer a dream to carry out magical modifications on his own ship girl.

However, he immediately thought of the ridiculous repair costs and hundreds of transformation cores. He felt overwhelmed. Seeing that the rain had subsided a little, he looked in the direction of the port terminal and started to worry about the ship girls in the port again.

At the same time, Pinghai, which was equipped with a brand-new ship outfit, was speeding on the sea. Yes, her current speed was comparable to that of some destroyers.

At this moment, Pinghai only felt that her strength was getting stronger and stronger, and it was all given to her by the admiral. She looked at the sea in the distance, the faint flickering of fire in the rain, and the sound of explosions that came to her ears from time to time, her eyes were full of determination.

Admiral, Pinghai will definitely become the most powerful light cruiser girl, Pinghai swears!

The waves were flying, the rain was pouring, and a petite figure, like a bolt of lightning, tore open the outer encirclement of the deep sea fleet, leaving the members of the First Fleet of Xiguang Island who were caught in a tough battle stunned.

Firefly had run out of torpedoes, so she could only rely on her main gun to attack. However, she was targeted by the deep-sea battleship. Looking at the opponent's steel black dragon-like ship equipment and the 200mm caliber deep-sea main gun aimed at her single battleship, she had no time to dodge.

Just as the Firefly was about to fight to the death, several torpedoes hit the deep-sea battleship that was about to fire.

The red cheongsam, the brand new equipment, and the incredible speed made the firefly unable to react.

Then, Firefly watched in amazement as the mighty deep-sea battleship was sunk by a torpedo. A deep-sea main gun shell deviated and directly hit the deep-sea light carrier not far in front of the deep-sea battleship, which severely damaged the deep-sea light carrier.

The deep-sea fleet's formation in the west began to become chaotic because the battleship responsible for the blockade in the west was sunk.

"Opportunity!" Bismarck and Richelieu looked at each other, then nodded to each other, thinking the same thing.

So, the two of them adjusted their main guns and aimed at the torn hole. The deep-sea formation there was in chaos, and the encirclement of the deep-sea fleet was no longer complete. They knew that the west had become an opportunity to break through and even turn the tide of the battle, so the two of them opened fire without hesitation!

Chapter 54: The Battle Turns Around [3rd update, please subscribe~]

Because of Pinghai's surprise attack, the western part of the deep-sea encirclement suddenly became the hope for the First Fleet of Xiguang Island to break out. Bismarck and Richelieu, who were full of anger, would not waste this opportunity at this moment.

Bismarck used her double guns to fire at the same time. Two shells with red flames at the tail whistled and hit a deep-sea light carrier that was about to launch another carrier-based aircraft.

Bismarck's main ship gun was the [G country twin 380mm gun]. Such a large-caliber shell hit the thin armor of the deep-sea light carrier, directly tearing open the ship's armor and smashing the deep-sea light carrier into two pieces.

Richelieu was not to be outdone. The main gun on her side [F country quadruple 380mm gun] had the same caliber. However, because Richelieu's training level was not high, this shot hit a deep-sea battlecruiser.

The deep sea battlecruiser is a white-haired girl carrying a black steel arc-shaped monster fish on her back. The ship's equipment is on this monster fish that surrounds the girl. The girl also has a black gun barrel on her end, but the difference from the deep sea destroyer is that there is a white-haired girl sitting cross-legged in the mouth of a black shark. The deep sea battlecruiser is more like a human form, but the black monster fish is more like a hideous decoration, full of destruction and weird beauty.

Richelieu directly hit the deep-sea battlecruiser's ship armor, causing it to be destroyed. However, the black single-mounted gun hidden in the deep-sea battlecruiser's mouth had already begun to prepare for revenge.

When Richelieu saw this scene, he knew that he would probably have to take the opponent's cannonball.

However, Walker saw that her big sister had entered the reloading period, and she knew that the big sister was in need of cover the most at this time, so she aimed the last torpedo at the deep-sea battlecruiser that was damaged and was about to attack Richelieu. This torpedo directly hit the opponent's part that was damaged by Richelieu's shelling, which directly caused the deep-sea battlecruiser's shell to deviate.

The shell drew a brilliant and deadly arc, and with a sharp whistle, it hit Richelieu's side directly, stirring up a column of water.

Richelieu was a little surprised. She glanced at Vauquelin who was behind her. As the formation of the encirclement on the west side of the deep sea was scattered, her side had already turned into a single-cone formation in advance. She and Bismarck were at the head of two rows of queues, carrying out artillery attacks from the front and the back.

Vauquelin was in the middle of the second column, and at this moment she was smiling at Richelieu.

"Well done, Vauquelin." Richelieu was never stingy with her praise, and she smiled gently at Vauquelin.

Walkerland's face flushed. She actually saw the big sister smile. It was so beautiful. She shook her head and said hurriedly:

"Sister Richelieu, this is what Vauquelin should do."

"Well, but you have to pay attention to protecting the flagship. I have thick armor, so it's okay for me to be hit by a shell." Richelieu nodded slightly, turned her head, and said this. Her eyes were fixed on the deep-sea battlecruiser that was about to escape to the deep-sea light cruiser team. Her eyes were sharp. She calibrated her other dangerous [F country 380mm gun (explosion)] secondary gun, then her eyes calmed down, and then she fired again.

The firing of this secondary gun startled Bismarck, because she could hear that the firepower of Richelieu's secondary gun was almost the same as that of the main gun. The difference was that when firing, she could hear a very uncomfortable noise. Moreover, she took the time to take a look at Richelieu's ship equipment, because the firing of this secondary gun showed signs of cracking.

However, the deep-sea battlecruiser was even more unlucky. The shell hit her face directly and sank her. The flames on the deep-sea battlecruiser shot up into the sky, illuminating the sea surface that was dark due to the rain, and also provided the best indication signal for the precise strikes of Lexington and Saratoga.

Bismarck, who was standing behind Richelieu, asked with a worried tone:

"Richelieu, is your ship's equipment okay?"

Richelieu felt a pain. This secondary gun was at risk of exploding, so when it fired, the recoil would damage the turret of the ship and thus hurt the user. She frowned slightly and said in a light tone:

"It's okay. It's not time to explode yet."

"Explosion!" Bismarck was startled.

Walkerland gritted her teeth. As a shipgirl of Country F, she knew the fatal flaw of her ship's secondary gun. She said worriedly:

"Sister Richelieu, please don't use the explosive cannon. It's too dangerous."

"No, this little danger is nothing compared to the safety of the port and the admiral." Richelieu said firmly, and she sighed:

"However, we don't have much time. Now is not the time to chat. I have to prepare for close combat."

As he spoke, Richelieu drew out his knight's sword, and before Bismarck and others could react, he rushed out of his own phalanx.

As one of the few high-speed battleships, Richelieu's speed of 32 knots can be said to be much faster than that of many light cruisers. With little ammunition left, she prepared for close combat.

Richelieu's seemingly impulsive behavior forced the flagship Lexington to move its carrier-based aircraft near her and use anti-ship machine guns to provide her with fire cover.

However, Richelieu's swordsmanship was extremely powerful, and her seemingly exquisite Western knight's sword was extremely sharp. Everyone watched Richelieu swinging her sword, and then the barrel of a deep-sea light cruiser that was about to fire was cut off by Richelieu's sword.

Richelieu used his excellent speed advantage to shuttle through the scattered formations in the deep sea. Since the biggest threat to the western deep sea defense line, the deep sea battleships, deep sea battlecruisers, and deep sea light carriers were all killed, the only ones left were the deep sea destroyers and deep sea light cruisers. As for the deep sea heavy cruisers, they were all wiped out in the continuous bombing of Lexington and Saratoga.

The number of deep-sea warships now seems astonishing, but there are only a few deep-sea warships with top combat power. This time, Richelieu plunged into the group of small deep-sea ships with thin armor, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The knight's sword in his hand swung out deadly and elegant arcs, constantly cutting off the ship equipment of these deep-sea warships. The deep-sea warships that lost their ship equipment were like tigers that lost their teeth and claws, and were beaten into scrap metal by the anti-sea machine guns that followed Lexington, and then began to sink one by one.

Although Saratoga also wanted to wipe out the deep-sea aircraft like her sister, as the most important firepower support point except for the west, she had no time to be distracted at the moment. Under the guidance of Helena's excellent radar, she was gradually stopping the deep-sea carrier-based aircraft offensive in the southeast and north directions.

Pinghai watched Richelieu attack the Deep Sea Fleet. A moment later, with the help of Lexington carrier-based aircraft, the Deep Sea western encirclement was officially torn into shreds.

Pinghai discovered the remaining deep sea through radar at the first time. She rushed to Richelieu's side, replenished sufficient ammunition, and carried out experimental transformation. Pinghai now had sufficient firepower. She said to Richelieu anxiously:

"I'll cover you."

Richelieu nodded. She did not continue to rush out. Instead, with the support of Pinghai's firepower, she sank all the scattered deep-sea ship girls in the west.

Ping Hai used her latest equipment, [Advanced Anti-Sea Radar: 40% Anti-Air Compensation], to discover another round of movement in the deep sea. She shouted with full energy:

"Everyone, please pay attention. We must withdraw from the encirclement immediately. The deep sea has begun to shrink the encirclement again. If we don't retreat, the western encirclement will close again!"

Pinghai's voice penetrated the noisy rain and entered everyone's ears. As the flagship, Lexington made a prompt decision and chose to believe Pinghai's words. She immediately ordered:

"Everyone, change the single-pine formation into a wheel formation, break out to the west, don't fight to the end!"

"Understood." Everyone responded in unison.

Helena took another look at Pinghai. She was surprised to find that the radiation range of her radar had expanded unconsciously. She looked at Pinghai's ship equipment in surprise. As expected, she saw that the other side was equipped with new ship equipment. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Lexington when retreating:

"Report to the flagship. We have now clearly ascertained the enemy's situation. The report is as follows: the enemy still has two deep-sea regular aircraft carriers, two deep-sea battleships, four deep-sea battlecruisers, six deep-sea heavy cruisers, ten deep-sea light cruisers, and sixteen deep-sea destroyers. They are mainly concentrated in the southeast and north. They are suppressing us in an arc and are approaching us. It is expected that in five minutes, they will encircle the west again, so we don't have much time to withdraw from the encirclement."

Lexington nodded. She glanced at the sky. The rain was getting lighter and lighter. However, she knew that their resources were almost exhausted. They had to make a strategic retreat immediately. Otherwise, they would be surrounded. Once the rain stopped, they might be completely wiped out. She said to her sister in a serious tone:

"Jia Jia, we will give up air superiority on the other three sides and do our best to ensure air superiority on the west. If there is a chance, we must open a channel for our retreat. Don't worry about the carrier-based aircraft. Everyone's safety is the top priority now."

"I understand, sister!" Saratoga also knew the urgency of the situation at this moment. She nodded heavily and recalled all the originally scattered carrier-based aircraft to the western airspace. Because of the continuous air battles, she and Lexington had actually lost nearly half of their carrier-based aircraft. However, the Deep Sea's carrier-based aircraft had no way to suppress the air. Now the air supremacy of both sides could be said to have reached a stalemate.
