"Visit?" Huang Chen frowned, very puzzled.

This kind of place isn't a tourist attraction, so why should we visit it? What should we visit?

"Commander Huang Chen... you only remembered your identity as a commander at the beginning of this year." The dean's gentle voice continued to be heard.

Huang Chen nodded with no expression on his face.

There are some things that ordinary people may not know, but as a senior executive of the KanColle headquarters, it is natural that the academy president knows some things.

Although Huang Chen traveled to this world, his port area is not it, and neither are the girls in the port area.

Seventy years is a long time, but for a ship girl with almost infinite life, it is not that far away.

The park transformed from the port area is still intact in the Windy City of District C11. Some things cannot be concealed from the beginning.

Therefore, Huang Chen was also a little confused. He wondered how people like the dean, who knew a little about the truth, would view his situation.

But the dean clearly hadn't considered these things and simply continued, "From the beginning of this year until two months ago, the Siren activity outside the front lines inexplicably became more intense."

"They even broke the rules a few times, no longer following the planned route, but trying to break through the frontline interception line."

"There were even several instances where they discovered loopholes in the front lines, broke through the front-line defenses, and entered the sea area behind the front lines."

"Fortunately, the largest of these was personally eliminated by you, Commander Huang Chen, and the remaining few did not cause any waves."

The dean spoke slowly, as if he was telling a story, but the atmosphere in the reception room became inexplicably depressing.

Royal Fortune looked around uncomfortably, then pulled New Jersey's clothes and tried to leave, but was stopped by the latter.

Musashi and St. Louis sat a little further away, watching this side silently without saying a word.

"The biggest one, is it the Siren Tide in Area C14?" Huang Chen said with a frown.

"That's right. I have Commander Huang Chen to thank for this." The dean smiled slightly and continued, "According to headquarters' information, a similar Siren activity occurred approximately seventy-three years ago."

"The situation, the level of Siren activity, the duration, and so on, are all very similar to the Siren fluctuations a while ago."

The dean said meaningfully.

Seventy-three years ago!

Hearing this, Huang Chen's face suddenly became serious.

Seventy-three years ago, theoretically, was the year he mysteriously disappeared and Hong Kong fell apart.

He frowned, looked at New Jersey with some confusion, and asked, "Do you have any impression?"

"How can I remember? It's been so long." New Jersey thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, "And I didn't pay attention to these things at the time."

Huang Chen nodded slightly, showing his understanding, and then looked at the dean, "So... you mean, these things are related to the Sirens?"

"It can't be said to be related, but there is clearly some connection," the dean said softly. "The higher-ups at headquarters, including the commanding officer, have discussed your situation."

Hearing this, Huang Chen was suddenly speechless. He never thought that one day he would become the subject of discussion.

"Some people believe that your situation may involve the possibility of time travel."

Huang Chen was shocked when these words came out. He thought that the dean had known his biggest secret, but he heard the other party continue to speak.

"You've probably heard some rumors about time travel, like how an old-fashioned plane took off from an airport and landed fifty years later."

Hearing this, Huang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, understanding what the girl meant. "Are you trying to say that I traveled directly from seventy years ago to the present?"

"This is just a guess," the dean said with a smile, "and it can explain many of your symptoms."

Huang Chen nodded slightly. Indeed, he felt that this statement was more reasonable.

Royal Fortune leaned over to his ear, looked surprised, and said, "Boss, are you the old man from decades ago?"

"Boss! Not the old man!" Huang Chen slapped the guy on the head and looked at the dean. "So, what do you think?"

The dean specially invited him here and said so much, of course not to tell stories.

"We believe that the existence of some kind of wormhole or similar natural phenomenon may have led to your story. The two activities of the Sirens prove that they have a certain sensitivity to this phenomenon."

Huang Chen suddenly realized, "So you want to study this phenomenon?"

"Yes, we want to know what exactly caused the Sirens' activity," the dean explained without hiding anything. "If we can figure it out, we might be able to infer countermeasures."

Huang Chen touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

The dean continued, "We invited you here mainly because we wanted you to reach the front lines and cooperate with one of our experiments."

"This could not only reveal the truth about the Siren uprising, but also partially reveal the truth about your disappearance. What do you think?"

"I think I understand." Huang Chen nodded, but his face showed no expression. "But I have a question. Is this experiment of yours dangerous? Will you suddenly make me disappear again?"

Hearing this, New Jersey's face suddenly changed, and he immediately said, "No, you can't participate."

"No." The dean shook his head and looked at Huang Chen. "We just want Huang Chen to cooperate a little. We will not conduct any research or experiments on you, so there will naturally be no danger."

New Jersey still stared at her with concern.

Huang Chen, however, touched his chin and nodded slightly, "If that's the case, it's not impossible to give it a try."

Chapter 940 College Chat

The sky is high and the air is far-reaching, and the autumn breeze is still comfortable and pleasant.

Naturally, the dean treated us to lunch at the highly acclaimed Donghuang Restaurant in the commercial street inside Nanyang College.

Ever since Yixian and the others left for Area S, Huang Chen hadn't eaten such delicious Donghuang cuisine for a while.

Although Haitian Haiqi and the others are still in the port area, their cooking level is still a little behind that of the real master Yixian.

After lunch, the visit was over. There was no need to rush back. With the help of a helicopter, it would not be too late to leave after dinner.

So I wandered around Nanyang College, walking around everywhere.

Royal Fortune still looks energetic, chatting with people everywhere, as if he can chat with anyone on the street.

But New Jersey was not as happy as before. He frowned slightly and said gloomily, "Honey, there's actually no need to agree to this kind of thing in advance."

"What does it matter? She said there's no danger anyway." Huang Chen smiled, took the girl's hand and squeezed it in his palm, "Just think of it as going out for a trip."

"How can the experiment not be dangerous? What if the dean is just lying to you?" New Jersey said very seriously.

Hearing this, Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Does your dean often lie?"

After all, this was the first time he met the dean, and New Jersey was more or less an old employee. If they said they knew each other, she naturally knew him better.

"That's not the case." New Jersey turned his face away awkwardly, reached out to tidy up the hair by his ears, and looked to the side.

Huang Chen laughed and squeezed closer to the girl, walking close to her under the shade of the trees on the roadside, and said with a smile, "That's it."

"And I'll also consider the situation at that time. If I feel something is not right, won't I refuse?"

New Jersey frowned upon hearing this, then relaxed. "That seems to be the case... Then I'll reluctantly agree. However, when the time comes to return to Hong Kong and face everyone, you'll still have to explain yourself."

"I'll explain it myself." Huang Chen said, but then he thought about how much he had to explain to Enterprise Tiancheng and the Port District, and it was indeed a bit of a pain in the ass.

After all, theoretically speaking, it is best not to participate in such a strange experiment, even with the guarantee of the dean.

Because experiments are always dangerous, otherwise how can they be called experiments?

If it were possible to grasp all the information and possibilities of the experiment, there would naturally be no problem, but if that were the case, why conduct the experiment?

If you actually conduct experiments, there must be many things you don't understand very well, and you want to explore and verify them through experiments.

Then, as the dean of the college, how can you ensure that there are no dangers in these things that need to be explored and verified?

Huang Chen should have refused, but what the dean said really attracted him deeply, the truth about his disappearance!

How could he refuse this?

Of course, he would not be overly reckless or impulsive about this.

All in all, he still wanted to know more before he realized the danger.

Moreover, putting aside the experiment itself, the place we are going to is also worth agreeing to.

Huang Chen held the girl's hand and smiled, "I didn't expect you to go to the front line in Area Y. I wonder if I can run into Akagi and the others."

Hearing Huang Chen's words, New Jersey's eyes curved and he laughed, "Akagi and the others just left not long ago, and Honey couldn't help but look for them already?"

"What the hell?" Huang Chen pressed the girl's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then he slowly said, "By the way, can we really find clues about our companions from the port area in Area Y?"

Half a month has passed since Akagi and the others set out. By now, they should have almost arrived at Area Y and started looking for clues about their former companions.

But can it really be found? Huang Chen had asked the centaur, but she didn't know much about it.

Although Area Y is adjacent to Area C, it is completely desolate in comparison, and there are not even many large cities.

Huang Chen was not optimistic about this, and he didn't know whether Chicheng and the others could gain anything.

"Who knows? We should always give it a try." New Jersey said softly, no longer dwelling on what happened before.

Now that the commander has made the decision, just give him your full support.

Anyway...if Honey really has an accident because of this experiment, New Jersey will not let it go.

"That's right." Huang Chen nodded, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and asked doubtfully, "Speak, there's a question I've been wondering about."

"What?" New Jersey looked over curiously.

"Is the dean also an old friend of the Hong Kong District like St. Louis?" Huang Chen said slowly. He still remembered the dean's greeting when he first met him, which was 'Long time no see'.

After hearing what Huang Chen said, New Jersey remembered something, frowned for a while and shook his head, "No, I don't have any impression of her at all."

"It's not a big deal if you don't remember it." Huang Chen waved his hand and stopped worrying about it.

Looking at the roadside, he suddenly laughed, took the girl's hand and pointed to the side, "Let's go, ice cream."

"Let's go." New Jersey suddenly stopped hesitating.

Huang Chen chuckled, looked ahead for a while, and then shouted, "Royal Fortune, don't run away, come back and have ice cream."

The pirate lady with long brown hair was talking to a wild cat with a serious face. When she heard Huang Chen's call, she immediately abandoned her new friend and ran back.

A rather bright, but in Huang Chen's opinion, silly, smile lit up her little face, and she said loudly, "I want vanilla flavor."

……

The shadows of the trees swayed, the sky was high and the air was fresh. A brand new yacht slowly approached the shore along the river and arrived at Binhai, the largest city in the Y area.

Although it is called Binhai, it is located 70 kilometers upstream from the mouth of Luojiang River, quite far away from the outer sea area.

This is the largest city in Region Y, and to some extent, it is also the only city within a few hundred kilometers along the coast of Region Y.

Thanks to the existence of the KanColle headquarters, the city can survive even in the rainy season with floods, but it can only survive and cannot develop much.

The city has a small population and underdeveloped industries. It mainly relies on the KanColle Headquarters for its existence. It can even be said that everyone in this city has some connection with the KanColle Headquarters.

But this also means that it is very easy to find people in this city.

Akagi walked slowly to the edge of the ship, looked at the high embankment in front of him, and sighed in his heart, hoping that this time, he could bring back good news for the commander.

Chapter 941: Coast and Island

A characteristic of the coast is the high embankment.

During the rainy season every year, the water level of Luojiang River rises significantly, and after the rainy season, the water level drops again.

The maximum drop can reach dozens of meters, so Binhai City built a high embankment, and the entire city is located on the embankment dozens of meters high.

The dam was built along the Luo River and was made of thick gray rock bricks, densely packed and uniform. The hexagonal brick joints reflected a dim luster in the sunlight.

There was some moss on it, and there were also many unknown plants growing out of the cracks in the bricks, but they had already dried up.

Some workers in work clothes, wearing sun hats and carrying backpacks, walked slowly on the sloping embankment to take care of it.

After packing up their things, everyone slowly climbed up the stairs. Akagi withdrew his gaze from the distance and said slowly, "The rainy season just ended not long ago. These places were flooded by the river some time ago."

"That means if you had come earlier, you wouldn't have to climb such high stairs." Beifeng puffed up his face and climbed up the stairs in a halting manner, saying with some dissatisfaction.

Akagi stepped forward and gently rubbed the girl's head, smiling gently, "But if the rainy season comes, we will encounter many storms and floods, so we won't be able to arrive so quickly."

The north wind stopped talking and continued climbing with the chubby little bird on its back.

No matter how high the dam is, it is not a piece of cake for the ship girl.

Even with the slightly complaining north wind, there was no need to take a break along the way, and everyone soon reached the end of the dam.

The true appearance of Binhai immediately came into everyone's sight: old streets, not-too-tall houses, and sewer manhole covers everywhere.
