Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

Page 56

The weapons of the Gundam series may not be as powerful as the battleship girls with the magic cube bonus, but they have a significant feature:

Perfect for space combat.

The weapons of the Azure KanColle are mainly designed for naval battles on planets, and have not considered the issue of combat in outer space.

"What about mobility?"

Lu Chen asked.

"The cruising speed can exceed the third cosmic speed. Theoretically, it can fly out of the solar system."

The third cosmic velocity, which is 16.7 kilometers per second, is enough to escape the gravitational pull of the sun.

"It's still a long way from the speed of light, but it's progress. We can go into space."

Lu Chen thought about it.

This is a speed close to Mach 50, which is terrifyingly fast on Earth, but still insignificant in the vast starry sky.

It's a pity that there is no hyperspace channel here. Unlike the natives of the Star Age, they can directly exceed the speed of light once they go into space.

We still have to slowly improve the technology.

"Is this a spaceship? ... It does look different from our ship..."

Several accompanying ship girls looked at the battleship.

The enclosed deck, the square shape, and the jets at the bottom and tail all exude a sci-fi feel.

"If the experiment on this spaceship is successful, it should be possible to modify your ship as well, meow."

"We will have space forces by then. Logically speaking, after the addition of the Mind Cube, your combat effectiveness should be even stronger."

Akashi is full of confidence in the future.

"Starship Girl..."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment.

Rumor has it that the KanColle was blocked by some indescribable existence, which resulted in the space technology not being mentioned at all.

But there shouldn't be any danger on my side, at least I won't encounter weird things like the Iron-Hearted Exterminators or killer bee swarms as soon as I go up to the sky.

So you can pull all the ship girls in the port area over and fly them.

Looking at the several neighbors on the hyperdimensional star map, and the more blurry worlds in the distance.

I finally feel like I am about to shed my indigenous identity:

"Concentrate all resources and strength to build the first spaceship as soon as possible."

"Their soy milk was poured out in vain under my hands!!!"

. . .

Chapter 70: Technology and Magic

Outside the capital, there is a space base.

After more than ten days of work by thousands of people, the entire take-off and landing base has been completed.

Its area is comparable to that of a small county town and it can almost be considered a satellite town of the capital.

Of course, since there is no spaceship yet, it seems a bit empty.

On one side of the base, the black spaceship was fixed on the robotic arm - under construction.

Every day at dawn, you can see a lot of colorful and golden cloth coming to rub the spaceship.

This kind of high-tech precision work is a bit beyond the capabilities of general-purpose Bri.

An extra batch of special-purpose and prototype cloth was produced at the naval base to help Akashi with his work.

On the gate of the construction site, you can still see the slogan posted by Akashi:

[Work hard for 30 days, and the ship girl will be able to fly]

"..."

"Why do I feel this slogan is weird? Even a little erotic?!"

Every day, there are curious ship girls who come to stroll around the construction site.

Watching Brie rubbing the spaceship bit by bit.

From the frame with the exposed keel, to the gradually increasing interior decoration, and finally after the outer closed deck is connected, the general appearance of the spacecraft can be seen.

It is larger than any other ship, rectangular in shape, and has strange equipment installed on its surface.

Everyone is looking forward to what it will look like when it is completed.

……

the other side.

While Mingshi was concentrating on building the spaceship, Lu Chen was not idle either.

Outside the naval base, he found a few heroes:

"Can you teach me a few tricks? Any Noble Phantasms or other great magic tricks?"

"what?"

The four heroes reacted differently.

"Aren't you already strong enough? Judging from your ability to take a beating and summon Gundams... many Heroic Spirits can't defeat you."

Hei Zhen looked him up and down.

"It's okay to have too many skills. That's the technology side of things. I also want to learn some magic occasionally."

"The information Dr. Roman gave me is fine for research, but not very practical for me."

For him, it is more convenient to use the weapons of Gundam to attack people than to use gem magic or barrier magic.

He had learned some blood magic before, which could barely be considered magic, but Lu Chen didn't think it was powerful enough and didn't want to learn it.

The moves of the Heroic Spirits are much more interesting and powerful.

"..."

Several heroic spirits looked at each other.

"Master, what do you want to learn?"

"Well...it would be better if it was more powerful or unique."

Lu Chen thought about it.

The destructive power of the Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm varies. The power of a Noble Phantasm against a city or an army is no different from the full power output of an aircraft carrier or a battleship girl, and it is also an instant skill.

Some strange rules and defense skills sometimes have miraculous effects.

"Then I'll go first."

Bai Zhende volunteered.

She stood where she was, spun the flag embroidered with irises in her hand, and stuck it into the ground with a click.

"Master, this is my Noble Phantasm, watch over it."

"My Lord is here!"

"Luminosite-Eternelle!!!"

Swah——

A hemispherical, white, transparent shield covered an area of several dozen meters in radius, wrapping several people inside.

"This is a treasure transformed from a holy flag. It can resist most physical attacks, even those against cities."

"Oh!"

Everyone looked at it with curiosity.

After a brief introduction, Jeanne looked at Lu Chen:

"Have you learned it?"

"???"

"How do I learn this?!"

Lu Chen despaired of the village girl's teaching ability.

"Tsk, Master, if you kneel down and lick my feet, I will teach you..."

Heizhen sat on a stone, stretched out her feet in black silk boots, and looked over with a haughty look on her face.

"Stand while you're at it."

Bai Hei Zhen was one scumbag and one stupid. Lu Chen looked at Dai Mao Wang.

Only the serious and rigorous Knight King can be trusted.

"It's not realistic to learn a Noble Phantasm directly... considering the Master's situation..."

"Let's learn how to release magic first."

Altria thought about it.

"When you used the Command Seal before, I could feel the enormous power coming from your body. Although it was a little strange, it was indeed useful."

"If you use it properly, you can release it like I did, to strengthen yourself, strengthen your weapons, or use it against the enemy."

As he spoke, the Knight King assumed a battle stance.

Swah——

Blue magic power burst out from her body, and her whole body and the weapon in her hand were surrounded by a faint glow.

"Oh?"

Lu Chen became interested.

What was his biggest problem before? He had no place to use his strength.

After swallowing the Rubik's Cube, she had the same physical fitness as the ship girls, but she did not have their ability to summon ship equipment for long-range attacks. She was just a little more resistant to attacks.

The Gundam is also an external object that relies on the power of the machine.

This is equivalent to wasting a large part of the function of the Rubik's Cube.

The release of magic power can just make up for this, releasing the excess power to beat people.

Artoria can fight monsters like Ber head-on with her weak body, and the strengthening effect of this skill on the body is obvious.

At the same time, it can also be used as a small light cannon to hit people.

"Feel the power within you, and then try to manifest it, attaching it to your body and weapons..."

The Daimao King patiently taught Lu Chen step by step.

Heizhen and Baizhen were watching the fun from the side.

"..."

Lu Chen closed his eyes.

He could feel that the Mind Cube was continuously providing him with energy.

According to the ship girl, this thing is a concentration reactor, and it is unlikely that she will have a problem with lack of mana.
