Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch.

Lu Chen reached out and touched the inner wall of Barbatos. After the structural reinforcement, the defense power had indeed increased by an order of magnitude.

However, this kind of magic will not last too long, especially for a big guy weighing dozens of tons.

It's OK for short-term emergencies, but for long-term combat, we still have to study engineering honestly and equip it with new materials and new weapons.

"But... you have given me a new idea."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment.

"We can add buffs to the starship and Gundam in the future. Gundam can do magic, so no one can stop it."

"Since Azure's technology is already quite idealistic, it's only natural to enhance it with magic, right?"

……

……

Winters in the Mediterranean are not long.

Winter passes and spring comes.

When the snow on the ground gradually dissipates and the grass and trees sprout.

The population of the capital has swelled to over 15.

Looking down from the sky, all kinds of cloth can be seen everywhere in the city, including purple general-purpose ones, gold trial types, and a small number of colorful special types.

If we include those who have been sent to other places to mine and exploit resources, the total population has reached about 20.

According to the model of Bri making Bri, the rate of increase will become faster and faster.

Although the population is still pitifully small compared to conventional civilizations, both Bree and the little yellow chicken can serve as production units.

Every day, hundreds of Bri ships can be seen traveling back and forth between the ports of the Golden Horn.

With Constantinople as the center and with the help of ocean routes, Lu Chen discovered that his sphere of influence had actually expanded to the Asian, African and Latin American continents.

Gold mines in North Africa, uranium and pyrite in Iberia, coal and rare earths in Western Europe...

There are temporary outposts built by Brie everywhere, and they have traveled across most of the world with their little yellow chickens.

Use resources from all over the world to supply the construction of the capital.

At the same time, at the space base, good news came from Bri.

"The first batch of ship girls transformed into starships have been completed."

As soon as they received the report, Lu Chen and the ship girls involved in the transformation immediately put down their work and ran to the dock of the space base.

Because the starship-type vessels are too large to fit in the dock, they can only be placed on the landing and take-off base outside.

More than thirty starships were docked neatly in the open space.

There are aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers and cruisers.

The first group to be transformed were the founding veteran ship girls who had followed Lu Chen, plus several flagships in the port area.

They are the first space fleet of the Star Alliance.

"Wow……"

"Is this really my ship?"

Seeing the starship with their own eyes, the ship girls hardly dared to confirm whether it was their own real body.

They have different colors and shapes, but the enclosed decks and bridges look very sci-fi at first glance.

The former ship's guns were replaced with unknown energy weapons, and the plasma thrusters at the tail and bottom were emitting a faint blue light.

It has been completely transformed. Except for the core mind cube, nothing remains the same.

Brie simply dismantled their ships and rebuilt them.

"so big……"

"It feels bigger than the flagship of the Sakura Empire fleet?!"

Xuefeng raised her head to look at her original form. Although she was just a destroyer, after being transformed into a starship, the length of the Xuefeng reached more than 300 meters.

It is far superior to the Nagato, and even the Yamato and Musashi cannot be compared with it.

Nagato, who was wearing a kimono with fox ears erect, was stunned.

"Hmm... I wish I had come with the Commander..."

Richelieu stopped in front of a silver-white starship, a look of disbelief on his face.

Unlike the dark-colored space battleships we usually imagine, this battleship is silver-white in color, with golden patterns on both sides and fleur-de-lis etched on the bow and bridge.

There are several giant turrets installed at the front and rear of the ship, also in a gorgeous gold and white style.

It gives people a bright feeling.

"this is me?"

Sister Li blinked.

“This is you.”

Lu Chen smiled and patted her shoulder.

"I made some extra small designs on purpose. It doesn't increase the combat effectiveness, but it looks pretty good."

"Like it?"

"Thank you, Commander."

Richelieu kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Then he closed his eyes and reached out to gently touch the hull.

Swah——

The kilometer-long starship emitted a burst of light and instantly disappeared from the spot.

The other ship girls followed suit and retracted their bodies.

"Well, I feel like my power has gotten stronger after the starship transformation?"

Several aircraft carriers clenched their fists.

"The starship's power supply system, armament system, and defensive capabilities are several times greater than those of ordinary battleships. Plus, with the added bonus of the Mind Cube, it's naturally going to be even stronger."

Lu Chen smiled.

The ship girls used to have a bunch of weapons that looked like those from World War II, and with the bonus of the Rubik's Cube, they were able to have the ability to destroy an aircraft carrier battle group with only 150 people.

After changing to more advanced equipment, the strength is naturally incomparable.

Richelieu materialized its ship suit, and the starship-like ship suit was much larger than before. The two quadruple-mounted 380mm main guns were replaced with four larger energy weapons.

"This is a modified positron city-breaking cannon, meow. It's similar in principle to the weapon on the Ten Thousand Years Snowstorm, but it should be a bit more powerful for you."

Akashi popped up and explained.

"When fighting in space, you can't use conventional weapons. The missiles are too slow. Even a Mach 50 missile can't hit a person from hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers away."

"Only energy weapons can hit their targets, meow."

The maintenance girl explains the knowledge of space warfare to the ship girl who has just transformed into a starship.

In the vast universe, the distance between the two sides in battle can easily span half or even an entire galaxy.

Only energy weapons with a speed equivalent to the speed of light can hit the enemy. Otherwise, by the time the missile takes 10 days or half a month to fly there, it will be too late.

"very good."

Lu Chen patted Mingshi's head.

"You have already understood the basic principles of interstellar warfare in the Age of Stars. I have a few small tasks for you."

"Can you help me research Tachyon Lance, Focused Arc, and Gigakinetic Cannon? It would be even better if you could develop Neutron Annihilation, Nanoplague, and Starfall."

"?"

The beast-eared little ship girl was stunned for a moment.

"Commander, what are you talking about?! What the hell is this? Why can't I understand a single word, meow meow meow?!?"

(Pictured is Gudako).

Chapter 88: Unite the Sirens and Conspire for a Great Plan

boom--

More than 30 starships took off one after another from the take-off and landing base outside the capital.

They soared into the sky with colorful flames trailing behind them. From a distance, it looked as if dozens of rainbows were drawn from the ground to the sky.

Each spaceship carries several ship girls. Some of them have just immigrated from the port area, and some have not had time to undergo starship transformation.

Looking at the starships of the Vanguard Fleet, they were all envious and wanted to go out into space together.

"Sister Yixian, I thought you came to this world to eat coarse food and struggle hard."

"So we can finally go to space?"

Anshan, Taiyuan and the other four King Kongs and the Donghuang ship girl were sitting in a dark blue starship, looking at the flagship of the fleet in front of them - Yixian with envy.

After the starship was transformed, her temperament seemed to have matured a little.

The original blue and white porcelain short cheongsam was replaced with a white half-hollow casual dress with lace printed on it, paired with slightly tight black stockings, which was very eye-catching.

Her long black hair falls down her back like a waterfall, embellished with plum blossom hair accessories, giving her the demeanor of a talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River.

Her figure seemed to have become a little fuller. At least when they were in the port area, Ying Rui and Zhao He did not think that Yixian's figure was so exaggerated as to be compared with a battleship.

Now it has been modified by Yixian, and it has been directly changed into a space battleship.

"It's all thanks to the Commander, hehe..."

Yixian smiled gently and touched the two sisters' heads.

"I've watched him get to where he is today, step by step, whether it's building a city or a spaceship."

"You must also work hard in the future. After all, we and the Commander have a special bond in a sense."

"Uh-huh--"

Several Donghuang destroyers and light cruisers nodded frantically.

Although Lu Chen and they came from different universes, they all looked like Donghuang people.

Swah——

Soon, the space fleet broke through the atmosphere and sailed into the starry sky.

At the front is the flagship Richelieu.

Lu Chen did not drive the Wannian Fengxue, but set off with her.

The royal maid who had not yet been transformed, as well as the two dragon girls Thor and Kanna, were also in the cabin.

"Star--"

Kanna lay on the porthole, staring at the starry sky, her tail swaying.

"Commander, are you guys so powerful?"

"I've never flown out of a planet before?!"

Thor lay beside Kanna and looked around, full of curiosity.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing I'm curious about..."

Lu Chen looked at the dragon girl and pondered for a while with his chin propped up.

"Do you have the ability to fight in space, or fly in space?"

"Eh?"

Thor was stunned for a moment.

As a dragon, she has almost no natural enemies on the ground. Apart from a few monsters and gods of order, there are not many people who can defeat her.

But this is the first time to fly out of the atmosphere and fight side by side with a starship in space.
