Does that mean he's still dangerous?

Pennsylvania suddenly shuddered and felt goosebumps all over his body.

"There's something wrong with you." Algeria, who was walking in front, turned her head sharply and looked at the captain behind her. "You are in a very strange state now."

"Is it strange..." Pennsylvania answered casually, but was stunned the next moment, and then his whole body was shocked as if he had been hit hard.

She lowered her head, her eyes full of horror - the Algeria in front of her was no longer her friend, but a poor brainwashed person.

But he might also be a guy who is like a tiger's minions, who will not only fall into the abyss himself, but also will not let others go.

She looked like she cared about herself, but was that genuine? Or was she just acutely aware that I had noticed something was amiss and was testing the waters?

Pennsylvania swallowed her saliva, and suddenly thought that as the director of the Kanmusu headquarters, it would be strange if she suddenly joined a port area. That guy named Huang Chen would definitely not do that, so she felt relieved again.

She let out a long sigh, looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her, and said with a wry smile, "How many sisters have you found in the harbor now?"

"How much?" Algeria stopped and looked at the girls playing in the open-air swimming pool not far away.

Many of them looked over here with curiosity. After all, there were not many strangers on the Windward, and not everyone in the port knew about buying a computer, so everyone was still a little curious.

But seeing Algeria leading the way, he did not come forward to ask questions, but curious glances were inevitable.

"Now, it's probably close to 100, right?" Algeria thought for a moment and realized.

"One hundred?" Pennsylvania was stunned. Although she had expected this when she saw the huge Windward, she did not expect that there were nearly a hundred ship girls now. Had they brainwashed so many sisters?

As she thought about it, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"How many ship girls did your port area have before?"

"Probably... more than four hundred? I don't remember exactly. You can ask the commander later." Algeria shook his head and said casually.

Behind her, Pennsylvania grew silent.

More than four hundred, confirmed, the captain of the ship's college thought in his heart, where in the world could there be such a huge port area, even decades ago.

Moreover, this subtle number happens to be almost the same as the types of ship girls in the world today. Obviously, this exposes the ambition of the port commander. It seems that he is not thinking of brainwashing a part of the ship girls and stopping, but wants to make a grand slam of all the ship girls in the world!

Pennsylvania became increasingly vigilant.

Unknown people came on the Windward, and many ship girls learned of this news, including the destroyers playing in some functional areas.

Some of the more curious ones couldn't wait to run to the top deck and look at Pennsylvania curiously.

The latter felt more and more eyes and gazes around him, and became more alert.

What's going on? Why are so many people watching me? Are they afraid I'll run away? Is that Huang Chen really that brave? I'm the director of the Kanmusu headquarters!

Her face became confused for a moment, but she still followed Algeria silently, passed the crowd, and came to the door of the cab.

Algeria knocked on the door, and Pennsylvania's heart was in her throat for a moment. Should she take advantage of this plan to escape?

She looked over the guardrail at the sea beside her. She was confident that she could summon the ship equipment within half a second and jump from here to land on the sea. As long as she landed on the sea, she believed that Huang Chen would not dare to use force, right?

Her mind was full of random thoughts, but the door would not stop opening just because of her thoughts.

She saw the scene in the room. It was a very ordinary cockpit, a fairly large room with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows. The downward-sloping design allowed it to avoid interference from refraction when sailing on the sea.

There were several operating tables with various incomprehensible instruments lit up randomly on them. In the corner of the room stood a long and large solid wood desk with several figures gathered around it.

"Hello, Pennsylvania." Huang Chen stood beside the table, beckoning the shipgirl minister to come in, and then introduced her to today's guests, "Enterprise, Amagi, Akashi."

When he mentioned Akashi, he glanced at Pennsylvania awkwardly. However, the latter seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened in the lobby on the first floor. He greeted everyone, then walked straight to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

I don't know why, but the captain of the ship girl looks a little absent-minded.

Huang Chen looked at Algeria doubtfully with an inquiring expression. The latter shrugged and spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he didn't know either.

But it doesn’t matter... Huang Chen thought silently, nodded to everyone, and then looked at Pennsylvania.

"Then, may I ask if the Minister has prepared the relevant information?"

Pennsylvania said nothing, but quickly took out the information he had prepared long ago, which came from his friend in Area A. It gave a detailed introduction to the current status of computers.

"Area A is too far away and faxing is too expensive," she said simply, but everyone present understood what she meant.

Area A is too far away from here, and the price of instant messaging is already unacceptable even for someone like the KanColle Director. She can act as the sole agent for the purchase of computers, so there is no need to contact Area A now.

"But I can give you her mailing address." The ship girl director suddenly said.

Huang Chen paused and said, "There's no need for that. We trust you and can just buy from you."

Pennsylvania nodded slightly, as if a little regretful, but said nothing.

Huang Chen didn't care much. He picked up the document and took a casual look at it. He handed the information about price and maintenance to the company, while he focused on the introductory information about the computer's performance and functions.

The information is quite detailed, and it indeed mentions the network and its initial form. The information mentions that based on this network system, files can be exchanged between different computers.

At the same time, in order to better use computers, they also designed a more versatile program that can effectively reduce the difficulty of using computers.

Huang Chen's eyes lit up and he knew that this was probably the embryo of an operating system. However, the text introduction was still a bit weak, and Huang Chen was not sure to what extent it had developed so far.

He didn't care, though. The main reason for this purchase was the network, followed by the computer itself. Honestly, there were many women in Minato who were good at research, like Akashi who was sitting next to him.

Huang Chen raised his head and glanced at Mingshi, who was standing beside him with his tail almost raised to the sky.

The green-haired cat girl almost had the word "smug" written on her face. It was rare that the commander found her not to punish her but to do something serious with her. This contrast was worth her being proud of.

Huang Chen shook his head, thinking that he could set up a special research department in the port area in the future. Ship girl technology and ordinary people's technology can be said to be two different paths.

Perhaps even in this world where mobile phones have not yet been invented, similar products have been made in advance using KanColle's technology.

While continuing to look through the documents in his hand, the enterprise next to him stretched out his finger to poke Huang Chen's waist, and when he leaned out of the window, he whispered, "How much do you plan to buy?"

"Buy two or three? There's no fixed number." Huang Chen shook his head. "How much is one of these things?"

"One hundred thousand supplies." Enterprise said.

"One hundred thousand supplies?" Huang Chen recalled the exchange rate between supplies and diamonds. One diamond was worth thirty supplies. "That means about three thousand diamonds?"

"Yes." Enterprise nodded.

"In that case..." Huang Chen narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Let's set aside a budget of 10,000 diamonds."

"I understand." Enterprise nodded, stopped asking questions, and then exchanged opinions with Amagi and Akashi.

Everyone discussed it for a while, and finally Akashi spoke up, "Isn't your computer too expensive at 100,000 supplies? How about making it cheaper?"

After nearly half an hour of discussion.

In the end, Huang Chen finally bought three computers for 10,000 diamonds, which also included various peripherals, installation, accessories and a five-year warranty.

Mingshi was still quite disappointed. In her opinion, if she didn't buy four computers, today's bargaining would not be considered a success. But Huang Chen was very satisfied with the result. You know, the 100,000 supplies were the bare price of the computers, and the other items were obtained through bargaining.

The only thing that concerned him was that he always felt that the captain of the ship girl department was deliberately avoiding talking to him too much. Every time she spoke, she deliberately controlled the number of words she spoke. She was even more frugal with words and even wanted to omit punctuation marks.

I remember that when we met in the afternoon, everything was pretty normal. She came to me personally to discuss the purchase of the computer.

Could it be that what happened in the lobby on the first floor had some impact on her? Huang Chen thought this was a possibility, but it was impossible to explain it, because the fact was that it was Mingshi's turn tonight.

Sometimes, as a commander, it is normal not to be understood by others.

After paying a deposit, everyone signed the contract. The computers would arrive in Area J approximately six months later, with Pennsylvania receiving them. They would then be delivered to Huangchen's port area, depending on the situation. However, since the location of the port had not yet been determined, some details were still missing.

But the problem was not serious, and some subsequent details were left to Algeria.

After the business deal, Huang Chen felt refreshed. Although he was spending money, spending money was actually a very happy thing. Sometimes the pain people feel when spending money does not come from the act of spending money, but from the essence of not having money.

"Minister Pennsylvania, would you like to find a place to get some late-night snack?"

Huang Chen said hesitantly, after all, it is a business, shouldn’t we have a meal together if the deal is done?

Although it is strange to have a midnight snack while discussing business, due to time constraints, there is no chance to treat the girl to a normal meal.

"No need. It's getting late. Since the deal is done, I'll leave." Pennsylvania showed a stiff expression, and was as afraid as before to say another word to Huang Chen.

Huang Chen nodded in understanding, "Then I'll take you down."

Pennsylvania stood up hurriedly. "No need, no need, Commander Huang Chen, just let Algeria send me off."

Although Huang Chen felt a little strange, he nodded, and then watched the ship girl captain pull Algeria away quickly as if escaping.

After the two of them left, Huang Chen looked at everyone and spread his hands, saying with some helplessness and confusion, "She seems a little afraid of me."

"It's indeed a bit strange." Enterprise nodded. "Do you want me to go ask?"

Huang Chen thought for a moment, "No need. As long as it doesn't affect our transaction, there's no problem."

As he spoke, an expression of excitement suddenly appeared on his face. "Also, now that we've bought the computer, let's get going! Heading towards Area C1!"

Chapter 304 What is this?

The Windward set sail at around nine o'clock in the evening. For a cruise ship, there is actually not much difference between sailing at night or during the day.

Even if it is out of consideration for the Siren attack - at night, the support from the coastal garrison may not arrive in time, and ordinary cruise ships will only slightly adjust their routes and consciously avoid some higher-risk routes, but will not stop completely.

Nine o'clock was neither too early nor too late. Since Tiancheng had become a secretarial ship, it had greatly eased the company's workload and allowed the secretarial team to focus on more areas, so the management of the children was also put on the agenda.

The specific lecture hall has not yet been implemented, but a stricter schedule has already been established. Children in the port area need to return to their dormitories before 9 o'clock and go to bed before 9:30.

Regarding the concept of children, it now applies to all destroyers and submarines in the port area. Of course, some people disagree, such as Ayanami, who feels that she is already a girl and can play games all night long.

But now Tiancheng's assessment plan has not been put on the agenda, and no alternative plan has been proposed, so her opinion has been ignored.

However, when the adults went to the dormitories to check if the children were asleep, they would deliberately skip Ayanami's dormitories. Of course, it could also be because Ayanami's room was on the fifth floor, on the so-called wedding ship floor.

There is no limit on the time to get up, but even if you go to bed early, it does not mean you can get up early. Some children can sleep until eleven o'clock, but some children wake up naturally at seven o'clock.

If everything goes according to plan, the first morning class will probably start at 8:00 in the morning. However, this is still in the planning stage, largely because the teachers for the class have not been coordinated yet, but it will be implemented within a week.

In short, the Windward was already in a very quiet state when it set sail. The children were asleep, and the other girls were not involved in any messy activities that would make a lot of noise.

There are plenty of recreational activities available, such as reading a book or comics, playing some quiet games, such as flying chess or board games, or having a drink and lying on the top deck of the Windward to admire the beautiful night sky.

Huang Chen also returned to his room with a few comics he had found. Mingshi followed him silently, still mumbling, "Honestly, I don't need to go to that big lecture hall anymore, right? I'm already too late to go to my own shop every day."

"No, you can only attend classes for half a day." Huang Chen said casually after hearing the kitten's anxious tone.

"No meow! Not even half a day's class meow! And Akashi is not a destroyer, Akashi is already an adult meow! And it's a wedding ship meow!" Akashi ran in front of Huang Chen angrily and wanted to take away the comic book that Huang Chen was reading.

However, the latter seemed to have anticipated this. Every time the cat girl was about to reach the comic book, she would quickly take it away to remove it from the girl's attack range.

Huang Chen continued to look at the comic book in his hand and continued without looking up, "Yes, yes, yes! You are the adult, you are the marriage ship!"

"That's too much, meow!" Mingshi became more and more angry as he looked at Huang Chen's condition. Finally, he jumped directly onto his legs, moved his arm away, and finally got the chance to look him in the eye.

"Commander, I'll give you a discount from now on, meow! From now on, you can get a 9.5% discount on anything you buy in my store, meow!"

Huang Chen was immediately at a loss for words. "How dare you say a 95% discount? Besides, aren't the things in your store mine? Do I need to pay for my own things?"

Akashi immediately revealed a more vigilant look than before, "Although Akashi is the Commander's ship girl, the Commander still has to pay for things, meow!"

Huang Chen finally gave up the idea of teasing the little girl and chuckled, "Alright, that's enough. I get it. I won't classify you as a child."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly again and said almost to himself, "I haven't figured out a good way to distinguish between children and adults."

Although there was already an assessment plan for coming to Tiancheng as the basis for everything, the so-called assessment was just a facade, a cover, a disguise to make everything look more reasonable and formal.

Who will pass the test and who will not will be determined by the children's level of noise at this stage.

Although this method grasps the essence of Huang Chen's desire to establish a large lecture hall, there is a key problem that cannot be solved.

This is the inherent flaw of subjective measurement.

Whether a person is noisy or not is an extremely subjective evaluation criterion. For example, is the northwest wind noisy?

Normally, this girl with strange long hair is not noisy, but sometimes she will do some strange things under the guidance of the southwest wind.

Maybe Huang Chen thinks she is not noisy, but some children may think that she is present in every activity, so why is she not noisy?

Secondly, subjective evaluations are difficult to change. It's difficult to change one's opinion of someone. Some people consider such opinions to be prejudice, but in fact, they are not much different from prejudice.

For example, Ming Shi. Since the first time Huang Chen saw this guy was in the military police of the KanColle headquarters, the impression he left on him was that he was very easy-going and liked to make trouble.

In other words, he had the impression of being very boisterous and prone to causing trouble. His initial thought was that such a person should not be allowed to skip classes five days a week, and he even considered giving them extra lessons.

Even though this guy doesn't play with those destroyers at all, and doesn't participate in those noisy activities, she still often does some serious work. For example, some of the expenses in the port area are now managed by her and the enterprises.

When Huang Chen saw her, he was still wondering what tricks this guy had played this time.

Such inherent ideas are difficult to change, which means that once Huang Chen determines that a girl is too noisy and needs to study in class, she will not pass the test no matter what.

If a person takes an exam repeatedly and fails each time, as long as her IQ is normal, she may think that it is her own problem in the first few times, but she will soon realize that there may also be problems with the exam.

After all, Huang Chen couldn't tell everyone openly that the degree of noise is also an indicator, and it is an indicator that accounts for a very large proportion.
