Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

"Commander! The commander is awake!"

Santiago was the first to notice their arrival. The silly red-haired girl shouted with joy, waved excitedly, ran towards Lin Lan, and threw herself into his arms.

Lin Lan smiled and caressed Santiago's head affectionately. At the same time, he took off his fox mask and threw it to Mingshi beside him.

There's no one else here, so there's no need to wear a mask.

"Commander, I'm so glad you're okay."

Following Santiago's footsteps, Enterprise, Helena and others also gathered around and looked at Lin Lan happily.

Seeing that the company was safe and sound, Lin Lan smiled and said to everyone:

"What could possibly happen to me? The company is fine. I slept so long simply because I was sleepy."

When he heard him say this, Washington chuckled:

"Then it seems that the Commander has a good sleep quality. I carried you all the way last night, and it was so noisy that you didn't wake up. You must have been infected by Nicholas and Lafite."

"Don't say that about us~Ham~"

In response to Washington's smear, the white-haired little girl Nicholas, who was still holding a pillow in her hand, immediately pouted in dissatisfaction in protest.

However, her sleepy tone and the huge yawn that followed were obviously not convincing. Instead, Lin Lan smiled and picked her up and rubbed her pink little face.

Reunited with his beloved White Eagle Ship Girls again, although only one night had passed, Lin Lan actually felt like he hadn't seen them for a long time.

"Commander, we have heard from Enterprise about what happened in the virtual world."

Helena looked at the gauze still wrapped around Lin Lan's head with some distress, and said to him in a low voice with apology:

"I really didn't expect that the Siren would suddenly forcefully invade the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot's host. The internal structure of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot's host system is very similar to the Siren host system information that Helena meta provided us."

"At that time, I thought the virtual world was directly controlled by the Siren, so I misjudged and put you in danger. Commander, I'm sorry..."

Hearing Helena say this, Lin Lan smiled and put Nicholas down in her arms, waved her hand and said to Hai Ma in a relaxed tone:

"What's there to apologize for? After all, who would have thought that the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot host was actually Siren's experiment? You've actually helped us a lot."

Seeing that Helena still had a puzzled look on her face, Lin Lan gently embraced the blue-haired cruiser girl in his arms:

"If we hadn't entered the virtual world with your help to repel the Sirens, we would have had to storm Hengyue City and fight the Builders head-on, and someone might have gotten hurt."

"Look now, except for the skin on my head that fell off, everyone is fine and the matter has been resolved satisfactorily. Isn't this all thanks to you?"

Hearing him say this, Helena seemed to put down the burden in her heart and hugged his back tightly with her backhand.

Seeing this scene, Enterprise said with a smile:

“It really has to be the commander.

Only the officials can appease Helena. She has been feeling guilty all night and no matter how we persuade her, it doesn’t work.”

Baltimore also smiled and added jokingly:

"That's right, Commander, you don't know that last night Helena kept talking about what would happen if the Commander didn't wake up..."

"Oh, no, don't say that again!"

Being teased by her companions, Helena's face immediately turned red. She shyly let go of Lin Lan, covered her face and squatted down.

Seeing Hai Ma like this, Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and jokingly complained:

"Oh yes, Helena, you have to send the reality lens to the Xinghai Laboratory for upgrading. At least the high temperature problem must be solved, otherwise my brain will be in trouble in the future."

"Okay, okay..."

After hearing his words, Helena slowly stood up and responded in a mosquito-like voice, obviously feeling much better.

If the commander really didn't raise any questions, she would really feel guilty.

After chatting with the other girls on the White Eagle ship for a while, Lin Lan finally looked at everyone and asked:

"Akashi told me that you were going to enter this giant tower. Now you are all outside. Have you finished exploring and come out?"

"Um... Commander, to be precise, we haven't entered yet."

Washington shrugged, pointed to the bottom of the giant tower and said to Lin Lan:

"This is the core data tower of the cube energy robot host left by the Siren. It requires specific permissions to enter. We have just been waiting for the decryption results of Helena and Ingraham."

Lin Lan looked in the direction Washington pointed, and sure enough, at the entrance of the giant tower, there was a computer with codes rapidly jumping on the screen.

The entrance to the giant tower in front of the computer was a huge closed black metal door.

This huge gate was surrounded by purple electric energy, and it didn't look like it could be approached easily.

Lin Lan and his White Eagle ship girls came to the periphery of the energy electric light in front of the giant gate. After frowning and studying for a long time, he looked at Enterprise and asked:

"Can't the defenses of this entrance be destroyed by force?"

"We tried, but even the armor-piercing main guns of Washington and South Dakota couldn't destroy it with one shot. This must be the defense system deployed by Siren."

The company shook its head and said that they had already used this method.

South Dakota also added seriously:

"Commander, these strange energies not only exist at the entrance, but will immediately emerge once any other part of the tower is attacked."

After hearing the words of the two White Eagle Ship Girls, Lin Lan found the problem a bit tricky.

"Ingraham, how far have we progressed in cracking the code? How long will it take to open the entrance?"

Lin Lan looked at the little girl with glasses and short chestnut hair and asked, since a forced breakthrough in a short time could not be achieved, he could only hope that the decryption work could be completed as soon as possible.

"Let me see."

Ingraham walked to the computer screen in two steps, pushed her mature black-framed glasses, glanced at the progress bar and said to him:

"Commander, if we continue to decipher the code at this speed, it may take another ten days. Well, if New Jersey and the others bring the Xinghai supercomputer, the time should be shortened to two days.

. "

After getting this result, Lin Lan let out a long sigh.

After all, no one would have thought that they would engage in electronic decryption work after leaving the artificial island, so Ingraham and Helena only brought ordinary work computers at this time.

The professional equipment in the Xinghai Laboratory must be extremely efficient, but it is impossible for the ship girls to carry those professional large computers with them all the time.

However, if they really want to destroy this giant tower, Lin Lan feels that his ship girls can do it.

It's nothing more than wasting more ammunition and artillery shells to slowly wear it down, and sooner or later it will be completely destroyed.

But such a commotion would definitely attract a large number of Hengyue City citizens to watch.

The most important thing is that if he really let the ship girls destroy the giant tower, Ariel would probably be dead even if she was still alive.

So instead of taking the risk of counterattacking Ariel, he chose to wait patiently for New Jersey and Little Gaga to arrive with a large force before cracking the defenses of this giant tower.

Just as Lin Lan reluctantly accepted this result and was about to take his ship girls away from here to find a restaurant in downtown Hengyue City to have a big meal, suddenly, a sudden change occurred that no one expected.

I saw a beam of faint blue light shining down from the top of the giant tower in the bright morning sunshine, covering Lin Lan.

"Protect the commander!"

The arrival of this dark blue beam scared all the White Eagle ship girls. Enterprise, who was standing next to Lin Lan, even stepped forward and grabbed him, fearing that he would meet with an accident.

But before Lin Lan could leave the range of the dark blue beam, an emotionless synthetic mechanical voice suddenly sounded from inside the giant tower:

"Identity authentication passed, target identity confirmed, host system defense module - deactivated."

As the voice fell, the purple energy lightning surrounding the entrance of the giant tower in front of everyone slowly dissipated, and the tightly closed black metal door also made a low roar and slowly rose.

A metal passage emitting a faint blue electronic light and leading to the interior of the giant tower appeared in front of Lin Lan and a group of ship girls.

Chapter 437: Inside the Giant Tower (3100 words)

"This... Commander, how did you gain access to the Siren facility?"

Washington looked in astonishment as the energy surrounding the giant tower disappeared and a mechanical corridor appeared in front of everyone. He turned his head to look at Lin Lan, who also had a confused look on his face.

Not only Washington, but the other girls on the White Eagle ship also cast puzzled looks at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan was also confused by the question. What would happen if he really had the authority to access the Siren facilities?

Fortunately, the company quickly realized what was going on and analyzed it, saying:

"Could it be because of the identity the Commander was given in the virtual world? This is the only explanation."

The company's words made Lin Lan suddenly realize that this was indeed possible.

The main body of the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot came to his side to serve as his maid as soon as he entered Utopia. If he was not given extremely high authority, who else could have this treatment?

Although he still didn't know why the host gave him this permission, no matter what, the entrance to the giant tower had been opened, and they had no reason not to go in and take a look.

So Lin Lan looked at Helena and said:

"Helena, you and Akashi continue to monitor the giant tower outside. If there is any sudden change, contact us immediately through the communication channel. The others come in with me."

Although it is still unknown whether there is any danger inside the giant tower.

But Lin Lan felt that since the defense of this giant tower was lifted because of his arrival, it was very likely that there were places inside that needed to verify his authority.

Besides, with Anchorage and Eldridge by his side, plus the other White Eagle battleships, the risk of him making a mistake can be reduced to almost zero.

So he decided to enter the tower himself.

"Okay Commander, if there is any emergency we will inform you immediately."

Helena also figured this out and nodded solemnly to Lin Lan.

After the division of labor was clarified, the five White Eagle heavy cruisers led by Wichita, Portland, Indianapolis, Baltimore and Bremerton took the initiative to lead the way, and Lin Lan and others followed closely and entered the giant tower.

As soon as he stepped into the mechanical corridor of the giant tower, Lin Lan felt as if he had returned to the Siren stronghold where he was imprisoned. The style was so similar.

There were no unnecessary facilities or objects, and the corridor that could be seen to the end at a glance was very cold.

The entire mechanical corridor has no room doors except for the faint blue tube lights on the surrounding walls, as if there is no extra space except for the end of the corridor.

The glasses-wearing aircraft carrier Shangri-La sent her little eagle to the front to explore the way, and soon she reported to Lin Lan:

"Commander, there is a very spacious space at the end of the corridor, and no enemies were found."

Lin Lan nodded after learning this information. It’s good that there are no enemies.

If an enemy really appeared in such a narrow corridor, I'm afraid that his White Eagle ship girls would not be able to fully deploy their ship equipment.

Of course, the Siren Executor's ship equipment is probably the same.

This was why he had the confidence to follow everyone into the giant tower.

No one chatted too much. They looked around the corridor vigilantly as they walked forward. Even Santiago was unusually quiet.

After a few minutes, Wichita and the others who were walking in the front finally walked out of this

The mechanical corridor led to the spacious space that Shangri-La had just mentioned.

"Wow, is this so cool?"

Lin Lan was still in the corridor when he heard Baltimore's exclamation in front of him.

And when they all walked out of the corridor, they could not help but be shocked by the spectacular scene before them.

This spacious space is a circular hall with a towering spire. The black metal walls around it are flashing with faint blue lights and are connected by thick black cables.

Lin Lan was amazed and looked up.

The cables extending from these walls all converge at the dark blue platform at the top of this space.

And right below this dark blue platform, there was a bright blue beam of light, just like the one that just appeared outside, it was very gorgeous in this dark environment.

Being in such an environment is like being in a sci-fi world made up of digital data.

After looking at everything here, Lin Lan also understood why Baltimore and the others were so surprised.

Even he himself did not expect that the interior of this giant tower, which looked like a solid structure from the outside, would actually be such a beautiful scene.

But the problem is, there seems to be nothing special in this empty space.

Neither the imagined energy facilities nor the host equipment appeared.

At this time, Ingraham, who was holding a remote-control-like device in his hand, suddenly frowned and spoke, breaking the quiet atmosphere:

"Commander, the cube energy index in this space is not right."

"Cube Energy Index?"
