Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

Two MA-M21KF high-energy beam rifles.

It is an improved development of the Sirius beam rifle, firing high-energy lasers to destroy enemies. When the two rifles are connected, they can have the performance of a long-range sniper rifle.

There are two railguns and two close-in defense guns installed on the head and waist, which are powerful enough to penetrate modern main battle tanks.

Melee weapons are equipped with beam sabers and beam shields. Although Lu Chen does not like hand-to-hand combat, it is not a bad idea to occasionally go up and chop the enemy to change his appetite.

Mounted on the abdomen is the Strike Freedom's most powerful weapon, the Flame Complex Beam Cannon. It has been tested in the port area and is capable of effectively attacking the Siren Purifier.

Even compared with the main gun power of the battleship girl, it is not inferior, and the attack speed is extremely fast.

Because it is an energy weapon, the speed of the bullet is equal to the speed of light. It can arrive instantly within a range of 300,000 kilometers. No other live ammunition or kinetic weapon can reach this level.

In addition, the most iconic feature of the Strike Freedom is the wireless guided weapon installed on the eight mechanical wings at the back - the Dragoon system.

Through the driver's mental control, the Dragoon system can detach from the body and use beam assault cannons to carry out 360-degree attacks without blind spots, which is equivalent to eight floating cannons.

Even when outnumbered, you can still quickly destroy the enemy.

Lu Chen controlled eight armed wings to separate from behind.

In a flash, he locked onto several targets on the sea below.

bang -- bang -- bang --

The armed wings opened fire at the same time, and each shot hit the target accurately. The heat energy created a vapor on the sea surface, causing Bree and the little ship girl who were watching to shout loudly.

"Good accuracy!"

“Wow wow wow what a huge wave!!!”

boom--

After Strike Freedom accelerated again, Lu Chen circled the Earth and toured the Eurasian continent at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Driving this big guy and cruising in the air gives me an unprecedented sense of pleasure.

From a military theoretical perspective, the Gundam, or humanoid robot, is an awkward thing between an aerospace plane and a tank.

In terms of air maneuverability and combat effectiveness, it cannot compare with future starships and fighter jets. In terms of land combat, it cannot beat tanks or tracked mechas of the same cost.

Because those things don't have unnecessary designs like limbs, all the materials can be piled on weapons and armor. They are ugly, but they can fight.

But Gundam is so handsome!

Tough lines, cool shape, and excellent aerospace maneuverability.

Driving a Gundam is as tempting to men as transforming into a Kamen Rider.

As a commander, what's the point of driving an ugly tank into the battlefield?

As for performance, Lu Chen felt that it was sufficient. Anyway, he could get some strange things from other worlds in the future, and maybe he could further strengthen this big toy.

"By the way, if we look at it by battleship standards, what level is the Gundam?"

Lu Chen suddenly asked.

“That’s a bit difficult to answer.”

Akashi thought about it.

"Theoretically, your Fiery Composite Beam Cannon has a destructive capability similar to that of a battleship, and it is more maneuverable and can even fly out of the atmosphere."

"But the Gundam's ability to withstand attacks is obviously not as good as that of a warship. The Strike Freedom weighs less than 100 tons..."

"So it's a glass cannon?"

"Not at all."

Akashi shook his head.

"After all, Commander, your body is still pretty tough. Maybe even tougher than the Gundam."

"..."

The most vulnerable link in a weapon of war is usually the driver.

However, Lu Chen felt that he might be able to withstand more attacks than Strike Freedom.

Swah——

After cruising in the air for another circle, Lu Chen slowly landed the Gundam on the beach.

The surrounding ship girls came over and looked at this strange big guy.

Some lively destroyers have already gone to find Akashi to drive the remaining Unicorn, Barbatos, and Destiny Gundam.

"Hey, it would be nice if this thing could be smaller."

"Akashi, do we have to build a command ship to serve as the flagship of the alliance? Otherwise, when the free attack is launched, there will be no place to put it..."

"Put it in the ship's cabin? It feels a bit strange."

Lu Chen was considering whether he should use the technology from the Gundam world to build a mobile fortress to store the Gundam.

It is a bit troublesome to carry a mecha that is more than 20 meters long around.

"I don't think it's necessary, meow."

Akashi scratched his head.

"Commander, do you remember what the Mind Cube does? It can materialize a person's cognition of a certain object..."

"Whatever you think you are from the bottom of your heart, the power of the Rubik's Cube will twist you into whatever you are..."

"So what do you think you are now?"

"?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

He was currently sitting in the cockpit of the Strike Freedom, man and machine becoming one.

The two have achieved unprecedented synchronization.

"My gender is gunship...oh no..."

"I feel like I'm a Gundam."

...

(Pictured is Strike Freedom).

Chapter 44: Susanoo (Mecha Version)

Swah——

Almost at the same time Lu Chen said this.

Strike Freedom's entire body emitted a dazzling white light, transforming into a gigantic ball of light.

Then it began to twist and deform.

The whole person also dissolved into the halo, leaving only a vague shadow.

About five minutes later, amid the exclamations of the ship girls.

Lu Chen landed lightly on the ground from mid-air.

"Ok?"

He turned his head and saw that the huge Strike Freedom had disappeared.

Instead, I had a strange feeling in my body, as if I had swallowed the Rubik's Cube of Mind.

"Commander, did you eat the Gundam?..."

"Uh, no, you absorbed it?"

Richelieu and others came over and looked at Lu Chen in astonishment.

As ship girls, they are very familiar with this scene.

Just like when KanColle was first born.

However, Lu Chen’s main body is the Strike Freedom, not a warship.

"This is the commander's process of finding his 'self', meow."

Akashi emerged from the crowd.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

“I feel comfortable everywhere.”

He stretched his body.

Just now in the cockpit, for a moment, he felt that he and Strike Freedom had become one.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the Rubik's Cube in the body absorbed the big guy.

The world of Azur Lane is not a technological civilization at all.

This is simply an idealistic power comparable to the Four Gods of Chaos.

Lu Chen roared in his heart.

"Commander, your main body is now a Gundam? Can you project it?"

Richelieu asked curiously.

"of course can."

Swah——

With a wave of his hand, Lu Chen transformed like an Autobot.

First, a cockpit was projected beside him, and then Strike Freedom's torso, limbs, and head grew out with a click.

Finally, he spread out his eight armed wings, drew out his beam sword from his waist, and stood tall above the ground.

"So cool, it looks much cooler than our summoned ship?!"

The ship girls were stunned.

They projected their true forms, each with a flash of white light, and appeared on the sea surface in an instant.

When the commander summons the Gundam, there are actually transformation actions and transformation effects.

"Then can you project part of the Gundam to fight like you did with the ship suit?"

Kewei asked, tilting his head.

"Uh... should I try?"

The magic of the KanColle ship suit is that it can be big or small. It looks like a toy, but it can destroy a city and a country with one shot.

Lu Chen closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and felt the strength in his body.

Click——

He first tried to project a part of the Gundam.

After the cockpit wrapped him up.

Strike Freedom's torso and upper body unfolded with a click, transforming into a half-robot.

It is about 10 meters high.

Although it has no legs, it does not seem to affect its movements at all, and it moves along with Lu Chen.

Holding a beam sword in one hand and a beam shield in the other, he looks very majestic.

With a wave of the hand, the robots behind him move synchronously.

Boom——

With one swipe of the sword, a forest was razed to the ground.

"Uh, it seems a little different from your ship's uniform?"

"I can summon part of Strike Freedom to fight, such as skeleton form, half body form, complete form, etc...."

"In skeleton form, you can use close-in defense guns and railguns to attack people. In half-body form, you can control beam swords and beam shields. In full form, you can use the full power of Strike Freedom..."

Lu Chen tried again. In the half-body form, he could freely change the weapons of the projected Gundam.
