Chapter 527 Power Station
Walking along the coastline, there were some sparse sandy beaches at the beginning, but then it gradually turned into steep cliffs.
Huang Chen didn't bring Nagato out for an adventure, so there was no need to explore whether there were treasures hidden under those strange reefs, or whether there was an unknown cave under the cliff.
When they reached the end of the beach, they chatted for a while, looked at the scenery, and then returned the same way.
When we arrived at the dock, it was noon, time for lunch.
The canteen on the island obviously cannot supply so many people in the port area. At the same time, it is also troublesome to run ten minutes to the canteen on the island for meals when living on the Windward.
Therefore, the mess hall of the Windward is still in operation and is expected to continue to operate until the last girl moves to the island.
However, there has been a unification in terms of chefs, mainly due to the requirements of the royal family and Sardinian girls living on the island.
After lunch, Huang Chen returned to his room for a nap.
With Nagato.
Of course it was impossible to post anything in broad daylight, but even so, the girl's face was still red, and she fidgeted on the bed until almost two o'clock, then she found an excuse to leave.
This caught Huang Chen off guard and made him feel bored as he had planned to stroll around the island with Nagato in the afternoon, but it wasn't a big deal.
After Nagato ran away, he subconsciously ran to the cockpit of the Windward to take a look, and then realized what was happening. Then he simply walked around the island alone, waiting for Belfa to come and call him for afternoon tea.
Everything on the Windward was still running normally, and the lecture hall had not yet started classes, so the little ones could still play freely.
Some function rooms have shifted their focus to the island. For example, those who like reading have moved it to the library, while those who like sports, such as Cleveland and Baltimore, can now play football or basketball on the playground.
At the same time, some places on the island that were previously built for various reasons but were vacant due to lack of staff, such as cinemas, gyms, etc., are being used little by little.
We continued along the route that Sirius introduced yesterday, and naturally we had to visit some places that we didn’t see yesterday.
After walking and stopping along the way for about an hour, we finally reached the small road from the dormitory area to the pier.
He was planning to return to the dock and wait for Befa to come find him, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of a fork in the road.
This seems to be a relatively important warehouse... Huang Chen recalled Hood's words and suddenly became interested and wanted to go over and take a look.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked along the path. It was still a two-lane road. The surrounding vegetation was still dense, and the chirping of birds and insects could be heard from time to time.
He had been walking for less than five minutes when suddenly the view ahead opened up and some warehouse-like buildings appeared in his sight, followed by other buildings.
He took a quick look and identified one of them as a power station, but couldn't make out the others.
There was no one around. Huang Chen thought about it and walked towards the power station.
From the outside, it looks like just a two-story building, and there's nothing strange about it. If it weren't for the huge transformer and power lines on the roof, Huang Chen wouldn't have guessed that this was a power station.
When I walked into the power station, I found that it was much more spacious than I had imagined. It looked like it had two floors from the outside, but it actually only had one floor, and the floor was nearly ten meters high.
In the center of the room was a green machine, about the size of a small car. Several black cables ran from the machine to a machine nearby that he couldn't name, and finally directly to the transformer on the roof.
This is the generator... Huang Chen frowned slightly, looking a little confused. What kind of generator is this?
He originally thought that the small power station that Hood and the others were talking about would be a fuel generator or something else, but he didn't expect to see such a novel thing.
It was neither thermal power nor wind power or hydropower, and it didn't even have the rotating structure necessary for the generators he was familiar with.
He subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to take a closer look.
"Commander? Be careful, the generator is very dangerous."
Huang Chen turned around and found a girl with long blue hair standing at the door watching.
Although she was wearing a maid uniform, her words and actions did not seem like a maid. As she spoke, she walked to Huang Chen, looking at him with her shining golden eyes.
"Neptune, why are you here?" Huang Chen blinked and recognized the girl.
This was not the first time he and Neptune had met. They had also seen each other from a distance at the dinner yesterday. At that time, the girl was with Cheshire.
But it seems like this is the first time we're chatting.
"Why not here, Commander? I'm in charge of the power station." Neptune blinked and looked at the machine in front of him. "Commander, are you interested in the generator?"
"A little bit." Huang Chen nodded. "This machine seems very... strange? What is its energy source?"
"Magic Cube." Neptune introduced it briefly, then pointed to a feeding port on the machine. "One Magic Cube is enough for the island to use for about three months. Very convenient."
Rubik's Cube? Three months?
Huang Chen was stunned and didn't know where to start.
"But Commander, you came at an unfortunate time. If it had been a few days ago, I could have even tried feeding the ingredients myself. It would have been quite interesting." Neptune said with a smile.
"You can come back next time." Huang Chen said with a smile. He then carefully examined the machine in front of him and continued to ask his question, "Where did you buy this thing?"
"KanColle Headquarters," Neptune said, "But there's only one. I've actually always wanted to open it up and see how it converts the Rubik's Cube into electricity."
As the girl spoke, she poked the machine with a trident she had taken out from somewhere. Sparks flashed for a moment, and it seemed that a hole would be poked in the thing in the next moment.
Huang Chen immediately broke out in a cold sweat and stared at the girl in horror. Don't think of taking everything apart.
"Well, don't be nervous, Commander. It's just a joke." Neptune looked at Huang Chen's somewhat panicked expression and smiled happily.
Huang Chen shook his head and looked at the machine in front of him again, "Okay, I'll go look somewhere else."
He was afraid that if he continued asking, the girl's curiosity would be aroused, and she would perform a trident-splitting power station show for him.
"What do you want to see, Commander? I can take you there." Neptune said immediately.
"Aren't you a power station worker?" Huang Chen asked.
"The staff also have rest time. It's okay to just walk around." Neptune said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Huang Chen smiled and followed the girl out of the gate. Just as he was about to walk towards another building on the side, he suddenly saw a figure wearing a black and white maid uniform and with long silver hair walking towards him along the path he came from.
"Befa?"
"Head Maid Miss!"
"Good afternoon, Master, Neptune." Belfast greeted the two with a smile, then looked at Huang Chen, "Master, His Majesty's tea party is about to begin. Are you free to go over now?"
Chapter 528 Only Two People
"Oh, Your Majesty will hold a tea party this afternoon?" Neptune said with surprise before Huang Chen could speak.
But then the girl showed a rather regretful expression, "It's a pity that I'm on duty today and can't attend."
After saying that, she looked at Huang Chen again, "Commander, please don't refuse. The tea party hosted by His Majesty is amazing."
"Awesome, awesome." Huang Chen subconsciously answered the girl's words, but he was thinking about another question in his mind: how did Beifa find him?
He felt that the place he was in was quite remote, and it seemed that Neptune was the only one there. He didn't expect that even in this situation, Belfa could find him accurately.
Is this the strength of the head maid?
Huang Chen looked at the silver-haired girl and admired her secretly.
But this made her misunderstand Huang Chen's meaning, and she asked softly, "Master, is it not appropriate for you to go over now?"
"Huh?" Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "No, no, you can go... Well, I'll come back here to visit tomorrow."
The latter sentence was addressed to Neptune.
"What a pity! It's not my turn on duty tomorrow." Neptune said regretfully.
"Then whenever Neptune is on duty, just ask me to come for a visit." Huang Chen smiled, chatted with the girl for a few more words, said goodbye to the girl, and followed Beifa away along the path.
Beifa's speed was neither fast nor slow. He was clearly leading the way, but he cleverly kept himself almost at the same height as Huang Chen, which gave Huang Chen a very strange feeling.
"Speaking of that power station, are they common in this port area?" Huang Chen chatted casually while walking on the road. After he finished speaking, he felt that his description was not clear enough, so he added, "It's mainly about the generator. I heard from Neptune that it uses a Rubik's Cube as its energy source."
"Not all of them have them," Befa explained softly. "Ordinary tutelages and small harbors can't use generators like that. They're too powerful, too expensive, and ultimately consume magic cubes, so many commanders can't afford them."
"Generally, such generators are only considered in the port areas of small islands far from the mainland or in the bases where the ship's headquarters are stationed."
Huang Chen nodded, "Is that so."
For commanders, the Rubik's Cube is too precious and difficult to obtain. It can only be salvaged or exchanged at the Ship Girl General's Office through merit. Anyway, Huang Chen participated in many commander gatherings along the way and did not see anyone selling the Rubik's Cube.
After all, for the commander, Rubik's Cube is a precious resource that is never enough. It can be said that it is in short supply and cannot be bought even if you want to. Who doesn't want to have more ship girls in his port?
A generator that uses a Rubik's Cube as a consumable material is a heinous crime.
Thanks to the fact that the KanColle Headquarters is an organization composed purely of KanColle members, they will obtain a lot of Rubik's Cubes during frontline combat, but there is no channel for their use, otherwise this kind of generator would never have been developed.
Belfa smiled faintly and continued, "Actually, at the Shipgirl Headquarters in Area C1, there are many novel machines or inventions, but for various reasons, they have not been used on a large scale. The magic generator is one of them."
"A lot?" Huang Chen touched his chin and began to daydream.
"A lot. When the master is free in the future, he can go to Ningyang City. There are many new and interesting things there." Beifa said, with an inexplicable sigh in his words.
"Ning Yang..." Huang Chen nodded. The so-called City of KanColles must be that place, right?
As they continued walking, Huang Chen suddenly thought of Beifa's sudden appearance and couldn't help asking, "Just now, how did Beifa know where I was?"
Even though she's the head maid and even though she's Befa, this is just too weird, right?
He even felt that this girl had been following him silently since leaving the castle in the morning. This kind of thing was not without precedent. Dafeng had done it before.
"I just sought the help of Miss Awesome, who is on duty today." Beifa smiled lightly. "If the master is in the room or somewhere else, it will not be easy to find him."
"That's terrible." Huang Chen nodded and suddenly realized something, but then he thought about how a guy like Kewei still had to be on duty, and suddenly felt a little strange.
Does the fat dinosaur listen to music on the job?
But having said that, it is much more convenient for ship girls to be on duty on an aircraft carrier than on other types of ships. They only need to launch carrier-based aircraft, and they can even hide in the bedroom and lie on the bed.
Come to think of it, the fat dinosaur might really be listening to music.
Thinking of this, Huang Chen couldn't help laughing.
Beifa was a little confused, "What did the master think of?"
"Nothing, just thinking of something funny." Huang Chen shook his head and looked at the scenery on both sides. Suddenly he found that he seemed to have reached the intersection leading to the garden. He immediately asked in confusion, "Isn't it in the garden?"
"Your Majesty will have afternoon tea in the castle today," Befa explained. "It's on a terrace on the second floor of the castle. The view there is beautiful, with a view of the garden and the meadow. It's the place Your Majesty often uses for afternoon tea."
"Oh, I see." Huang Chen expressed his understanding.
He just saw Edinburgh cleaning a pavilion when he was walking in the garden yesterday afternoon. The girl said it was prepared for His Majesty's afternoon tea, and he subconsciously thought that the tea party should be held in the garden.
But being Elizabeth, she could of course hold a tea party wherever she wanted, and holding it in a castle was not unusual.
The two of them quickly reached the castle, and of course passed by the square and saw the seated statue.
After so many times, Huang Chen was somewhat accustomed to it. He no longer walked over quickly with his head down. Instead, he looked around carefully. Then he followed Beifa's lead into the main building and came to the door of a room.
"Master." Beifa was standing aside and was about to open the door when Huang Chen stopped him. "Wait, I forgot to ask, is there anything I need to prepare for this tea party?"
"There's nothing to prepare." Befa shook his head.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to? This is my first time attending a tea party." He was afraid that it would be like the previous dinner party, where he went to the banquet happily, but was suddenly told that he was required to speak.
Beifa shook his head and smiled gently, "Master, there is nothing to pay attention to. Just leave it as it is."
"Okay, okay." Huang Chen nodded, took a step forward and pushed open the door.
As he walked in, he saw Belfa bow slightly to him, then take a step back and leave the room.
Beifa is not coming?
He thought with some doubt, and looked back into the room. He found that the room was not big and was directly connected to the terrace. It was furnished with mahogany tables and chairs, tea sets, cakes, etc.
At this time, Elizabeth was sitting on a chair, waving to Huang Chen, "Servant, come here quickly."
Warspite nodded at him on the other side.
Huang Chen looked around and found that there were only two girls.
Chapter 529 Gathering Together
Knock, knock, knock on the door.
Nagato raised his head and looked at the door that was shaking slightly due to the knocking. He curled up in the quilt without moving, his little face slightly red.
Is it Mutsu or Jiang Feng?
The girl thought about it in a tangled way and was somewhat reluctant to open the door. After all, the door of the room was deliberately locked when she came in.
