Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch.

"Uh... should I try?"

The magic of the KanColle ship suit is that it can be big or small. It looks like a toy, but it can destroy a city or a country with one shot.

Lu Chen closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and felt the power in his body.

Click——

He first tried to project a part of the Gundam.

After the cockpit wrapped him up.

Strike Freedom's torso and upper body unfolded with a click, transforming into a half-robot.

It is about 10 meters high.

Although it has no legs, it does not seem to affect its movements at all, and it will move along with Lu Chen.

Holding a beam sword in one hand and a beam shield in the other, he looks very majestic.

With a wave of his hand, the robots behind him moved synchronously.

Boom——

With one swipe of the sword, a forest was razed to the ground.

"Uh, it seems a little different from your ship uniform?"

"I can summon parts of Strike Freedom to fight, such as skeleton form, half-body form, complete form, etc..."

"In skeleton form, you can use close-in weapon systems and railguns to attack enemies. In half-body form, you can control beam swords and beam shields. In full form, you can unleash the full power of Strike Freedom..."

Lu Chen tried again. In the half-body form, he could freely change the weapons of the projected Gundam.

You can use sword and shield for melee combat, or use rifle for long-range shooting.

However, if you want to use the Fire Phase Cannon or the Dragoon System, you must deploy it in its full form.

"Is this what the Mind Cube is like?"

The ship girls started chattering about it.

When they fight, they either use their ship suits or their main bodies.

This kind of transformation ability is the first time I have seen it.

"It feels like a mecha version of Susanoo."

A certain little ship girl was amazed at what she saw.

"What is Susanoo?"

The people around him didn't know what was going on.

"I don't know. I think it was in the bedtime story the Commander read to me."

Xuefeng shook his ears.

……

"Amazing, so amazing, I never thought that the combination of Mind Cube and Gundam would produce this result."

After the experiment.

Mingshi dragged Lu Chen into the naval base and conducted all kinds of strange inspections.

He nodded frequently while looking at his physical examination report.

"Um……"

"Commander, after examination, I discovered that you seem to have a strong affinity for mechanical creations..."

"After merging with Strike Freedom, your physical fitness has improved even more. You're now powered by a reactor, which is great news."

"And the mecha you're driving seems to be more powerful than the original Strike Freedom..."

Thanks to the Mind Cube, Lu Chen no longer needs to think about where to put his Gundam every time he goes on an expedition.

It can be summoned at will and dismissed at will, and you can even fight in different forms of Gundam according to the battle situation.

The mecha version of Susanoo is so cool.

"I'm stronger than the original Strike Freedom? Is it because I'm a better pilot than Kira Yamato?"

Lu Chen asked curiously.

The Strike Freedom he drove had no difference in configuration from the original one.

"No, because under the effect of the Mind Cube, you and the Gundam have become one, so the power of Strike Freedom = its own power + your power."

Akashi shook his head.

"Commander, you are not only its pilot now, you are the Gundam itself."

"..."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and slapped his thigh.

"Damn, that's a big loss."

"I should have let you build a Star Destroyer first!!!"

Chapter 45 We are going to start exploding the bull cart (fog)

……

Of course, building a star destroyer first is a joke.

Although the power of a starship far exceeds that of the Gundam, it cannot be built in a short time.

In the future, when there are star-destroying weapons, the worst that can happen is that they are installed on the Gundam. Anyway, Lu Chen has enough confidence in the compatibility of his body.

There are so many wonderful technologies and magics in the world, there is no need to stick to any one thing.

Being handsome is a lifelong thing, yeah.

The Gundam caused a sensation among the young ship girls, and they developed a strong interest in this huge guy that could go into the sky and into the ground.

Every day he either pestered Lu Chen to fly high together, or went to find Mingshi to borrow a mecha to drive.

This made the boss lady very annoyed.

"Aren't you a shipgirl? Why are you driving a mecha?!"

"What if, during a future battle, the enemy blows up our Gundam and a ship girl pops out of it?! That's too weird, isn't it?!"

……

Two weeks later, evening.

In the naval base office.

Lu Chen was processing the documents at hand with Richelieu.

"Commander, Ning Haiping Hai sent a report that the first batch of supplies for Demon Slayer World will be delivered soon."

"This includes iron, steel, coal, non-ferrous metals, as well as various other agricultural products, textiles, etc.... The quantity seems to be staggering. We will need to send more Bri to transport resources."

In the list, Ninghai Pinghai clearly calculated the amount of resources that each country paid as tribute.

Industrial countries such as the British Empire and France mainly focus on refined minerals, while agricultural countries focus on agricultural products and textiles.

"700 million tons of refined steel, 5400 million tons of coal, 6 tons of tin..."

Just one look at the report will shock you at the huge number.

It is dozens or hundreds of times more than the world here.

This is just the first batch of resources. In order not to affect the development there, the extraction ratio is quite conservative.

Once the Demon Slayer world completes modernization and elevates the entire world to the industrial age, the benefits will be even more astonishing.

"Give a portion to the Hong Kong area. They're constantly experimenting with new weapons over there, so their resources are probably quite tight."

"Also, tell the company that if they need anything in the future, just ask us. I'll cover all the expenses of the port area's shipgirls."

Lu Chen wrote with a flourish.

This was not originally part of the trade agreement between the two parties, because in a sense, Demon Slayer World was their own spoils of war.

However, Lu Chen was very grateful to the ship girl who helped him when he was in a desperate situation at the beginning.

"Very generous, Commander."

Richelieu smiled.

"What about us? Continue to invest in the construction of the capital? Or build some military equipment like torpedoes and carrier-based aircraft?"

"..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't use it to make torpedoes, bombs, or carrier-based aircraft. We already have more ammunition in our warehouses than we can use up."

"If I wasn't afraid of causing trouble in the Demon Slayer world, I would have exported a batch to them."

Lu Chen knocked on the table.

"Use all of it to build a mind cube, and then build Brie."

"what?"

Sister Li blinked, unable to understand.

"Didn't I eat a Rubik's Cube in Minato earlier? Akashi said that Minato didn't make new Rubik's Cubes because of a lack of resources."

"Now we have the whole world at our backs, with more resources than we can use. For future development, of course we have to start expanding."

Lu Chen explained briefly.

"For example, at the beginning of the game, the most important thing is to develop the economy and produce more minecarts and farmers while ensuring your own safety."

"With more farmers and minecarts, there will be no more money stuck when building heavy industries, expending troops, and building combat labs, and the development speed will be faster and faster."

"If you spend all your resources building tanks to attack your neighbors, you might gain an advantage in the early stages, but you won't be able to win in the end because you lack the follow-up strength."

"There's no population limit for our settlement, so the more farmers and minecarts the better. This will make it even faster to mine wonders in the future."

"..."

Richelieu was puzzled by Lu Chen's theory about farmers and mine carts, and it took her a while to figure it out.

But there is no doubt that for the port area and the current residence, Bri is indeed a kind of all-purpose worker, or even stronger.

Not only can they mine and smelt, they can also repair warships and manufacture various weapons for ship girls. Even Lu Chen's Gundam was hammered out by Brie with a wrench.

With more Bri, the development speed here will indeed be much faster in the future.

As for the little yellow chickens... they can only do some odd jobs like carrying and farming, and they still have to rely on Bri for industrial matters.

five minutes later.

Akashi, who was slacking off, was picked up by Richelieu again.

"Commander, are you going to return the Mind Cube and the money I spent on the Gundam, nya?"

"It's 1 million yen in total, but since we're related, I can give you a 6% discount."

The repair lady took out her notebook and prepared to ask Lu Chen for the money.

"Hey, building a Gundam costs money?! You didn't even mention charging a fee before?!?"

Sister Li was speechless about the unscrupulous businessman.

"Don't worry, I can return the Mind Cube to you if you do me a small favor."

Lu Chen pulled Mingshi over.

Let her look at the resource list.

"If all these resources were given to you, how many Mind Cubes could you build?"

"So many?! All for me?!"

Akashi's eyes lit up and he counted on his fingers for a long time.

"Probably more than 8000..."

"If we use it to make cloth, how much cloth can we make, including the resources used for the hull?"
