Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"Great, it was you!"

However, an unexpected yet strangely familiar voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Taylor looked up in surprise, heading in the direction from which the sound came.

A petite figure, familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, came into his view.

To be honest, if the place hadn't been relatively tidy, he might not have noticed this person at first glance.

"Miss...you are...?"

Although the voice sounded quite familiar, the figure in front of him puzzled Taylor.

"It's me, Uncle Taylor!"

Saratoga ripped off his disguise, revealing his true appearance.

"Miss Saratoga, you!"

Taylor was so surprised that she almost shouted out loud.

However, Saratoga stopped him with a gesture.

"Taylor, I need your help!"

“Um… Miss Saratoga, I have to go to work soon, so I may not have time to play along with your prank.”

Because of the destroyer's extensive criminal record, Taylor's first thought was that the other side was about to pull another stunt.

"Sister Sarah is serious!"

Seeing that the other person didn't believe him, Saratoga quickly ran over, leaned close to the other person's ear, and began to tell them about his story.

Taylor's expression visibly turned serious.

"I see."

Taylor pondered for a while, then decided to help Saratoga with this favor.

"Then, Miss Sarah, I'll help you with this!"

Chapter 463: Experiment (A Record of Acting Recklessly)

A short while later, Taylor walked into the dock carrying his things.

However, this time, his steps seemed unusually heavy.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the dock at the moment.

"A while ago, for some reason, the higher-ups sent people to be on duty here 24 hours a day."

Taylor spoke in a low voice as he walked.

Taking a moment to speak, he also greeted the staff member on duty who was squatting in the corner.

Of course, the other party ignored him and simply watched him walk away coldly.

Soon, Taylor walked over the scaffolding and entered the hull of the Lexington to begin his new day's work.

After confirming that no one could see what was happening, Saratoga climbed out of Taylor's suitcase.

She patted her clothes and began to examine the hull of the Lexington.

Almost all the scars left from the last battle were still on the ship's hull.

This isn't because the repairmen are slacking off; it's because it's simply impossible to repair.

Near these damaged areas, there was more or less a layer of grayish-black crystals.

The higher-ups once sent samples for research.

These grayish-black crystals, upon testing, were found to be a completely unfamiliar substance.

Its material composition remains a mystery.

However, strangely enough, the subtle energy fluctuations transmitted by these substances are somewhat similar to those of the Mind Cube when it is overclocked.

"Why does it feel different from the one I saw last time?"

Arriving at a damaged area, Saratoga carefully examined it with the help of Taylor's equipment.

The gray-black crystals that were originally at the site of the injury now appear hazy.

From their appearance, they look more like a mist than crystals.

However, this does not mean that Lexington's symptoms have lessened.

On the contrary, the fog seemed to emanate from inside the ship.

"My sister's condition has worsened!"

"Uncle Taylor, thank you so much. I have to get to my sister's side now!"

"Let's have a drink together next time!"

...

In a secluded research institute.

Lexington was still asleep.

She has now been moved to another room.

"Keep a close eye on the lady's condition and report to me immediately if anything happens."

Once Lexington was settled, the person in charge gave his men a few instructions and then left.

After going around in circles, the person in charge arrived at his own private room and began recording today's experiment.

As can be seen from the screen, this person in charge has good record-keeping habits.

From very early on, he meticulously recorded every detail of the experiments he was in charge of.

【November 3th. 】

A patrol boat retrieved a young girl who was unconscious from the sea.

The girl suffered severe injuries all over her body, but she still retains vital signs.

...

【November 3th. 】

[Unbelievable! This girl could actually be a warship!]

So, where is her ship equipment? Why is the energy of the Wisdom Cube detected on her completely different from that of ordinary ships?

I feel like I have a new challenge now.

...

【November 3th. 】

[Test complete. This unknown girl is indeed a ship.]

Although there are many suspicious points surrounding her, there is no doubt that she is a ship.

...

【November 4th. 】

After my tireless efforts, the research project was finally approved by the higher-ups.

The previously unknown girl has been temporarily named "Material X".

...

【November 7th. 】

This is a memorable day; my brand-new laboratory is completed.

[Material X has also been moved here.]

I can finally fully dedicate myself to this project.

...

【November 7th. 】

I detected an unknown energy in material X.

[For now, I don't know what effects this energy will have.]

However, new discoveries are always a good thing.

...

【November 7th. 】

Today, a new researcher exhibited symptoms of mania.

I reported this situation to my superiors.

How could someone with a mental illness be allowed to participate in such an important experimental project?!

...

【November 7th. 】

Another researcher has developed manic symptoms.

She's been my assistant for a long time. As far as I know, she shouldn't have had this condition before.

Could there be some other reason?

...

【November 7th. 】

The investigation results are in. The researchers exhibiting manic symptoms were all individuals who spent extended periods near material X.

Perhaps I've discovered the effect of the energy emanating from Material X.

...

【November 8th. 】

[It's unbelievable! The unknown energy emanating from Material X can actually affect the ship!]

According to my information, the ships previously responsible for salvaging and transporting material X have undergone significant enhancements.

Her combat abilities have increased by at least five percent compared to before!

I must request support from my superiors regarding the naval vessels!

...

【November 8th. 】

My goodness, I've made another major discovery today!

The energy emitted by Material X can provide a more powerful amplification effect on ships with damaged equipment.

However, at the same time, the affected ships seem to be experiencing some degree of psychological distress.

However, the problem seems minor. Compared to the benefits, this level of cost is completely negligible.

...

【November 8th. 】

Perhaps I have witnessed a miracle today.

[A golden light I had never seen before covered everything I could see in a very short time.]

This is definitely an energy form I've never seen before!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture it.

...

【November 9th. 】

Lexington is about to be moved to my lab.

[The higher-ups have suddenly increased their support for my research. It seems they're not all clueless people after all.]

However, I don't have much time from above.
