Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

The serious pink-haired White Eagle Light Aviation girl stared at Lin Lan's face, recalled carefully and said:

"I have also seen the blueprints of the Huanyang Fortress left by the Goilia Consortium. It is undeniable that this large mobile offshore platform can indeed be used as a mass-produced maintenance base, and it can effectively avoid the attack of the Siren Fleet."

"But the United States of Orlan has given up on building the Huanyang Fortress for at least a hundred years. Even the finished products that were once manufactured were destroyed in the war with the Natlan Empire, and the wreckage has not been recovered to this day."

At this point, Princeton looked at Lin Lan who was lost in thought and continued to explain patiently:

"Commander, this kind of super-large facility requires the application of a large number of unique mechanical processes, materials science, and energy sciences that belong only to this alien country. If we want to develop and manufacture the Universal Ocean Fortress, we have to start from scratch, no kidding."

Princeton was not trying to pour cold water on Lin Lan. Lin Lan understood that his ship girl was stating the facts in a realistic manner.

After all, they were outsiders who came to Oran from other worlds. Unlike the Sirens who had arrived a long time ago, they had not been in the Oran United States for a long time.

Whether it is the Tyrant Mecha or the Ocean Fortress, they are all cutting-edge technologies developed by the Orlan civilization based on its own thousands of years of accumulation.

It is obviously not realistic.

But the corners of Lin Lan's mouth... revealed a hint of a smile.

"Princeton, you are right. If we were to develop and manufacture the Universal Ocean Fortress alone, it would definitely take up a lot of time and energy."

Lin Lan looked at the White Eagle Light Aviation girl standing side by side with Memphis in front of him and said with a smile:

"But why don't we let the Orlans develop and manufacture the Ocean Fortress again on their own?"

After hearing his words, not only Memphis, Princeton and others were stunned, but even little Gaga's eyes showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

The commander is right!

The reason why the United States of Orlan has lost the technology of the Global Fortress and the Tyrant Mecha, in addition to the previous Siren blockade, the most critical reason is that the consortiums do not share technology with each other.

They had already known this when they first arrived in Oran and were collecting intelligence.

A hundred years ago, in order to quickly restore the people's livelihood and economy from the Hundred Years' War with the Natlan Empire, the United States of Orlan allowed the consortiums to compete with each other and provided a lot of support.

However, with the rise of the five major conglomerates, these five conglomerates have monopolized most of the scientific and technological technologies and resources, and Oran’s former government has been constrained by these five conglomerates.

Many cutting-edge technologies are divided up by the five major conglomerates, causing the overall technological level of the United States of Orlan to stagnate.

But now, except for the Tianxing Group and the Noahdesin Group which are still controlled by the Siren, all of these five major groups have fallen into the hands of the commander.

When they and the commander take down the Tianxing Group's headquarters in Huanyang City, the entire Oran United States will be officially integrated into a new country.

A country that only obeys the commander and serves the port area.

Chapter 508: Magical Mind Cube (Updated)

"It seems you have already guessed it. I plan to let Oran re-establish the National Institute of Science and Technology."

"By then, we only need to provide Orlan with the most basic Rubik's Cube technology, and the rest of the task of building the Huanyang Fortress will be left to the Orlan people themselves."

"And as long as we have control over the Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor that will be built on the artificial island in the future, we won't have to worry about that old guy Jian Qianou having any unreasonable ideas."

After Lin Lan finished explaining to the ship girls, he glanced at the Rubik's Cube Energy Robot Ariel who was sitting in a chair in front of the operating table, carefully constructing a virtual world scene.

What he didn't say was that once Ariel's mainframe core was completed, it could also serve as the "Skynet" of another world, monitoring all aspects of the United States of Orlan for him.

With these levels of protection, he dared to entrust a certain level of Rubik's Cube technology to Orlan.

Moreover, even if the Orlan scientists obtained the Rubik's Cube technology, it would be impossible for them to thoroughly study and surpass his ship girls within decades.

The magic cube technology mastered by the ship girls of various factions in his port area was either obtained from the Sirens or acquired after a long period of research by their own factions.

With Ariel's presence, any research progress made by Orlan scientists on Rubik's Cube technology will be discovered by him first.

"As expected of you, Commander. Could it be that you have already thought of all this when you were in the Iron Blood Faction?"

The sadness on Xiao Jiajia's face had disappeared. She didn't expect that the commander could come up with such a solution.

Even she didn't dare to imagine using the power of an entire country in the other world to build a transportation route to the port area.

When Lin Lan heard what Xiao Jiajia said, she shrugged with a wry smile but did not deny it.

To be honest, he had never thought that the boss behind the Tianou Group would take the initiative to come to Lihu County and express goodwill to him so quickly and be willing to surrender.

If he didn't have such a useful tool like Jian Qianou, he would not have been able to control the Western Continent in such a short time.

In addition, his teacher became the head of the Oran Navy without his knowledge, and was willing to sign the Red Leaf Alliance with him.

It was precisely because of the various coincidences and the support of the ship girls in his port area that he had such courage.

At this time, Memphis had already started a discussion with Princeton, Ingraham and the Vesta, and was constantly flipping through the information on the tablet.

The idea proposed by the commander allowed them to successfully find a new direction for the future of the starry sea.

Since the former Huanyang Fortress was able to carry out long-distance expeditions at sea without the use of Rubik's Cube energy, will the Huanyang Fortress be even more useful after adopting Rubik's Cube energy?

It may even become the mainstay of the port area against the Sirens in the future.

They have all investigated and found that during the heyday of Orlan, every ocean fortress built had created brilliant records.

It was precisely relying on this large offshore platform that the fleet of the United States of Orlan was able to cross the vast ocean with changeable climate, reach the Teaching Country and the Natlan Empire, and have the confidence to confront these two countries directly.

What nations of extraordinary power have failed to accomplish, nations of mere mortals have accomplished with their hands and industry.

This is achieved by Industry Technology, which is enough to illustrate the excellence of Huanyang Fortress.

"Alright, alright. I see you guys are having a heated discussion. We'll have to wait until we take down the Tianxing Financial Group headquarters before we can discuss the details. We still have plenty of time."

Seeing that Memphis and the others were becoming more and more engaged in the discussion, Lin Lan coughed twice and smiled.

"Ah, sorry Commander, the main reason is that we didn't expect to be able to borrow the power of this country before. I was a little excited."

After being interrupted by him, several White Eagle ship girls working in the Star Sea finally reacted, and Memphis also gave him an apologetic smile.

"Compared to the Huanyang Fortress, I actually want to know more about the data of the Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor. Can this reactor really produce Rubik's Cube Energy continuously?"

This question made Memphis stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said to him in a joking tone:

"Commander, the Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor can indeed produce a huge amount of Rubik's Cube Energy, but the actual construction must be decided by you."

"I?"

Lin Lan pointed to the tip of his nose, not understanding what building the Rubik's Cube energy reactor had to do with him.

Saratoga explained the reason to him with a smile:

"Who dares to use the Mind Cube in the port area unless they get your approval, Commander?"

Lin Lan's mouth twitched slightly, as if... there was really nothing wrong with this.

In the game, the Mind Cube will not disappear on its own unless it is used by players.

After all, if one day a player logs online and finds that the Mind Cubes he has worked so hard to save have inexplicably become less, he will have to fight with the official on the spot.

Later, through Memphis' explanation, Lin Lan finally understood the principle of the Rubik's Cube energy reactor.

This brings us to the magical properties of the Mind Cube.

The Mind Cube contains a huge amount of Rubik's Cube energy and has the quality of self-recovery. As long as the internal Rubik's Cube energy is not drained out at once, it can recover over time, just like leeks.

Therefore, the cube energy consumed by the ship girls of various camps in his port in daily life is extracted from the mind cube, so as not to drain the pond to fish.

Only he, as the commander, has the authority to completely consume the Mind Cubes in stock at the port.

Building a Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor that can continuously and stably produce high levels of Rubik's Cube Energy requires a full fifty Mind Cubes.

Such a huge expenditure naturally requires his consent.

"Fifty Rubik's Cubes... Hiss, I still feel a little distressed."

After hearing the explanation, Lin Lan felt a pang of pain when he learned that this Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor would cost him fifty Mind Cubes.

Not to mention that he now has no channels to obtain the Mind Cube, the more important thing is that consuming so many Mind Cubes at one time is not so exaggerated even in the game.

At most, he would consume ten at a time when building a scientific research ship, but now he was consuming fifty at a time.

Even if he remembered that he had several thousand Mind Cubes in stock, who knew if he would be able to build a new wife when he returned to the port in the future... Ahem, a new ship girl?

But just as Lin Lan was finding it difficult to make a decision and was weighing the pros and cons, Mingshi, who was tied to a chair in front of the operating table, suddenly struggled. Because his mouth was blocked by tape, he could only make anxious "woohoo" sounds.

"Ariel, take off the tape around Akashi's mouth and see what she wants to say."

The commotion caused by the little profiteer successfully attracted the attention of Lin Lan, Saratoga and others, so Lin Lan spoke to Ariel.

Mingshi, whose mouth tape was torn off, trembled his cat ears, turned his head excitedly to look at Lin Lan, and said excitedly:

"Commander! I, I can still sell the Mind Cube here meow! As long as the Commander unties me, I will definitely give you a discount meow!"

Chapter 509 You think it’s expensive, but I think it’s too expensive too

"You still have Mind Cubes to sell? Tell me the truth. Where did you get all those Mind Cubes from?"

Lin Lan didn't expect that this little profiteer actually had a hidden Mind Cube. He stared at the little green-haired kitten and asked in confusion.

"I have a store in the port area, so I must have some stock, meow. Commander, just let me go, and I can sell them all to you at 20% off, meow!"

After Mingshi finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Lin Lan would not believe him, he hurriedly added:

"In addition to the hundreds of Mind Cubes I brought with me, there is also a backup warehouse for our port store at Shiranui's place in Liaozhou, meow, and there are many more Mind Cubes in it, meow!"

"so much?"

Lin Lan blurted out in shock. He really didn't expect that the two boss ladies in his port area actually hoarded such a large number of Mind Cubes in private.

Not only was he stunned, but Saratoga and the other White Eagle ship girls also widened their eyes.

Even they were unaware of this.

"Akashi, the Mind Cube you're talking about isn't one of those defective Mind Cubes you got from the Siren, right? And you've slaughtered the commander so badly before, and deceived so many Red Pointed Ones, so what you say is totally untrustworthy."

Xiao Jiajia stared at Akashi suspiciously and said, but when Akashi heard it, he even raised his voice several notches:

"How is that possible? The Mind Cubes in my store are all purchased from the headquarters. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. If you think it's expensive, I think it's too expensive too!"

Seeing Mingshi so excited, Lin Lan also said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, then Ariel, untie Akashi first. Akashi, show me the inventory list of your store."

After Lin Lan finished speaking, Ariel obediently untied the ropes on Akashi, allowing the small profiteer from the port area to finally leave his workstation.

Then a flattering commercial smile appeared on Mingshi's little face. He took out a small notebook from his big sleeves and handed it to Lin Lan with both hands.

"Let me see... My goodness, you have more Mind Cubes than the ones in my warehouse in the port area?!"

Lin Lan opened the inventory list of the port area stores and was shocked when she just flipped through it.

The Mind Cube reserves in Akashi Store are actually...

Already reached an astonishing five figures? !

"Meow, meow, haha, this, this is not for the sake of selling it to you, Commander, if you build something that eats the well in the future, meow..."

Mingshi smiled guiltily, but this immediately made Lin Lan's face darken.

"You, a profiteer, are actually expecting me to eat the well? You, you, you..."

Seeing that he seemed to have touched the commander's sore spot, Mingshi quickly pulled Lin Lan's clothes and gave him advice:

"Um... Commander, using fifty Mind Cubes to build a cube energy reactor on the island will definitely have more benefits than disadvantages, meow, there is gain without sacrifice, meow."

"Yesterday, I already asked Memphis. If we want to establish a stable communication network between the port area and here, we must use the energy provided by the Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor."

After listening to the little profiteer, Lin Lan turned his head to look at Memphis. The light cruiser girl nodded to him, proving that Akashi was right.

Well, seeing that this little profiteer finally did something meaningful, Lin Lan did not continue to cause trouble for Mingshi.

He originally wanted to ask Memphis how to get from the port to the artificial island

If Akashi had asked in advance whether a stable communication network could be built, he wouldn't need to worry about it.

He no longer hesitated and immediately decided with Saratoga to use up the Mind Cube and arrange the construction of a Cube energy reactor on the artificial island.

The matter was settled. As for Akashi, Lin Lan was not going to buy the Mind Cube from the small profiteer for the time being.

After all, he still has several thousand Mind Cubes in stock distributed among several camps, so he can just keep the stock in Akashi store for later purchase.

However, Lin Lan did not forget to continue punishing this little profiteer. After making his suggestion, Mingshi wanted to sneak away, but was quickly caught by Ariel and brought back to his seat.

But this time, Lin Lan did not ask Ariel to tie up and gag Akashi. She just asked Ariel to keep an eye on Akashi.

After considering the construction location of the Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor, Memphis decided to set it up in the Star Sea Base.

A large energy converter that matches the Rubik's Cube Energy Reactor will also be built together. The energy converter can convert the Rubik's Cube energy into other energy sources. This is also a necessary technology for each camp.
