Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"...Let's go then."

...

The group went down the stairs and soon arrived at an elevator.

"Honestly, I don't think this thing is going to work anymore..."

Although Rob didn't see much dust here, he still felt that his safety wasn't guaranteed if he rode in an elevator that probably hadn't been used for many years.

"Let's go this way."

Rob's company pulled out its beam saber and temporarily used it as a flashlight.

Using the light, she looked toward the emergency exit on the other side.

"...Hey, be careful, this thing is pretty dangerous..."

After staring at his own company for a long time, Rob felt that this white-haired guy was going a bit too far in developing the beam saber.

I used to use this thing to boil water, and now I'm using it to light up.

"Oh~"

The company nodded, taking it as a response to Rob's reminder.

Chapter 759: Rob: I am your father

Before arriving, Rob had many ideas about the "base" where he didn't know which cycle he was in.

From fragments of memory, he already knew that he seemed to have started out as a researcher.

So, the so-called secret base should be something like the secret research facilities in movies.

However, when Rob actually found the place, he was still stunned by what he saw.

A huge workbench occupies most of the underground space.

Looking from the other side, it appears that a section of the rock wall has also undergone a series of modifications, becoming something that can be opened.

In the surrounding area, you can also see many facilities for working.

Opposite here is a corridor, which appears to be rooms used for rest.

"Where am I...? I feel like I built a Gundam here back in the day?"

After gesturing to the height of the workbench, Rob felt that it seemed just right to fit something ten or twenty meters tall.

"Commander, look at this."

At some point, Zhenhai found a design drawing covered in handwriting.

Judging from the blueprints, it really is a Gundam.

"what is this?"

"Heh, Commander, don't you think the handwriting on this looks familiar?"

Zhenhai nodded slightly and pointed to the rather abstract handwriting in the blank space of the design drawing.

Rob's eye twitched immediately.

He was very familiar with this handwriting.

Isn't this his own doing?

The girl from the port area spent a lot of effort but still couldn't correct her terrible handwriting. It seems like it's something inherited from multiple playthroughs.

"Ahem, it does look familiar. Let me see."

After receiving the blueprints from Zhenhai, Luo Bo began to carefully read the writing on them.

[It failed...]

The Energy Cube can indeed solve Gundam's energy problem.

However, this only solves the energy problem.

I'm trying to replace the power supply devices originally designed for Gundam with the Energy Cube.

In the end, all they got was a humanoid weapon that didn't resemble anything else.

It can be said that it has no value whatsoever.

Am I going in the wrong direction...?

That's all there is on this piece of paper.

It's clear that I actually tried to build a Gundam by hand in my previous playthroughs.

"No... how did I manage to complete such a huge project all by myself back then?"

Soon, Rob realized that something was wrong.

No matter how skilled someone is, building a Gundam by hand is still an overly fantastical thing.

Unless someone assists and provides support in every way for the person they once were.

"There are many suspicious points..."

Setting the design aside, Rob looked around.

He was trying to find something similar.

Soon, with the help of several ships, Robo found quite a few.

And without exception, all of these papers have many similar handwritings.

Perhaps I should take inspiration from Ange and Austa's research and create a Gundam-style character?

[Speaking of which, both Enterprise and Rei were white-haired girls back then. Should I follow tradition too?]

【But I don't have any references here, what should I do?】

[Anjie could definitely have taken inspiration from her own appearance; if she had styled herself up, she would definitely have been considered a pretty girl.]

I suspect that most companies in this industry sculpted their figures by using Anjie (a cosmetics brand) as a model.

It's not easy to find someone with her figure.

Upon seeing this, the corporate meta's gaze towards Rob immediately changed.

"Teacher, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"No, I don't know anything."

Seeing that the corporate meta's gaze was a bit off, Rob immediately changed the subject by pretending to read other papers.

Perhaps I should change my approach.

Ships possess a technology called "modification," which allows for upgrades to their equipment to a certain extent.

If I replace the ship equipment modification template with a Gundam, will I get a Gundam-themed character?

...

The experiment both succeeded and failed.

The experiment to replace Gundam with ship-mounted equipment for modification was indeed successful.

However, like my previous achievements, it's just something in name only.

I underestimated the capabilities of warships.

Perhaps I should first study the relationship between Rubik's Cubes and ships?

...

I know why I failed.

The ships depict more than just the vessels themselves.

[Also appearing in the world are the "legends" carried by this ship.]

[Just like that old lady from the royal family, whose abilities, elevated by her deeds and legends, allow her main guns to have an exceptionally high hit rate.]

[By the way, why does this thing look a bit like the "Heroic Spirits" from next door?]

Perhaps the ships themselves are a manifestation of so-called "heroic spirits"?

[As for the Gundam I was chosen as the target for modification, it had no matching exploits or legends.]

Or perhaps, this world has no story about it.

...

The legends and exploits of the ships are etched into the Mind Cube along with their blueprints.

[If I want to achieve the same effect, I must record the deeds of Gundam or other things.]

I don't know why the Mind Cube can only record data for ships she acknowledges.

It can accept data about ships that I casually mentioned but which don't actually exist. But it completely rejects data about mechs.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, Rob's voice rose eight octaves.

"Completely non-existent ship data..."

"Could this be..."

As he spoke, Luo Bo looked at Zhenhai and the others.

"Planned ship?"

Even the company's meta was surprised by this information.

She had never heard of such a thing as a planned ship before.

It wasn't until Frederick the Great appeared at Rob's experimental site that the planned ship officially came into her view.

In retrospect, the so-called planned ship was just a product that my teacher accidentally obtained during an experiment.

"This is all."

"Let's go and look around elsewhere later."

"Zhenhai, you should put these away."

After handing the pile of papers to Zhenhai for safekeeping, Luo Bo looked towards the other side of the corridor.

It's clear that the information obtained here is incomplete and disjointed.

The reason is simple: this was neither Rob's first nor last stop.

Perhaps this version of myself in this world disappeared when Antix carried out the elimination plan, or left beforehand.

In short, if we want to know more, we'll have to go and see other worlds.

"But then again, if it's a planned ship, it really was all something I came up with back then."

"Should I make Frederick the Great call me 'Father'?"

Thinking of this, Luo Bo looked at Zhenhai with a bewildered expression, and then received a charming eye roll from the other party.

Chapter 760: Luo, who jumps left and right

There isn't much information available about this "secret base".

All Rob knew was that "he" had indeed conducted a series of studies here back then.

Unfortunately, this is not crucial information, and knowing it or not doesn't really make much difference.

The only slightly useful thing is that the planned ship thing seems to have actually been created by themselves.

At least in this way, the planned ship made much more sense to Rob.

"By the way, Helena, and the companies over there at Ember, you've all met 'me' before, right?"

"Um..."

"Of course, otherwise, why would I call you Commander?"

Compared to the simple response from corporate meta, Helena's meta answer is much more noteworthy.

"So, when you met 'me' before, 'I' was concerned about these things."

As he spoke, Luo Bo waved the stack of documents he had just found in another room.
