I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

So Lafite did not go out of his way to correct the group's thoughts.

Rather, this would make it easier to explain Raffi's behavior that is different from that of a ship girl.

Even a ship girl with a strong heart will develop some bad habits after living in the human world for a long time.

As a ship girl, her persistence will certainly not waver, but the same cannot be said about her personality.

The Royal Ark and the others did not show any surprise. After all, they had guessed it before, and Rafi's words only confirmed their thoughts.

When you see how Laffey skillfully threatens the captain of the ship, you will understand that a normal ship girl would never do such a thing to a human being.

And when buying alcohol, he would cheat without blinking an eye.

That set of golden equipment is not something that an ordinary ship girl can accumulate. It can only come from countless years of accumulation. Maybe Lafite is a ship girl who survived the turbulent times in a certain port area.

If it is a big boss who is both lucky and hardworking, it is not impossible to accumulate so much equipment.

God knows how many ports were ordered to guard a place in times of crisis during the chaotic times, and then destroyed by the continuous attacks of the Siren warships.

In the past, the port area was built underground, and people would move to another place after each shot. When there were many sirens, they would hide in the air-raid shelters. When there were few sirens, they would run out to salvage resources and equipment.

At that time, there was not even a large city in the area radiating 200 kilometers from the coast to the inland. Each port area was the local emperor of its own jurisdiction, with many wives and concubines. The ship girls were all very happy.

Although they had to endure the Sirens' carrier-based aircraft bombing overhead every day, they had to run to the market 200 kilometers away to buy a pack of cigarettes, and every meal consisted of fish bones.

But at that time, no matter the commander or the ship girl, they could often be seen with smiles on their faces, because they could fight when they wanted to and hide when they wanted to, and they only needed to protect themselves.

The truly dark era began twenty years ago, when the construction machine appeared.

Humanity planned to counterattack the Sirens and take back the coastal lands. From that day on, countless commanders and ship girls rushed to the battlefield, and countless powerful ports were destroyed.

The Siren was repelled, and the coastal towns regained their vitality, but the price was the ship girls and

The commanders cried bitterly.

Is it really worth it?

In the eyes of future generations, this must have been worth it, because a large amount of coastal land was recaptured, people's living space was freed up, and science and technology and the social environment were redeveloped.

However, if you ask the commanders who lost their ship girls, or the ship girls who lost their commanders whether it was worth it, perhaps no one would give a positive answer.

Raffi never thought that just a casual remark from her would cause a group of ship girls to associate so many things with it.

No matter what time, you can never underestimate the imagination of the ship girls!

In this regard, they do not necessarily lose to humans.

"I feel like the atmosphere is getting heavy. Dad, you guys didn't come here just to get some breakfast, did you?"

"Why do you call me that even Rafi-senpai?"

Cleveland grumbled. Although in the old history, Cleveland's service time was slightly earlier than Laffey, but for the ship girls who valued strength rather than seniority, Laffey, who had lived for more than 20 years, was indeed qualified to be called a senior.

But Rafi always felt something strange about the term "senior".

"No need to use honorifics, just call Rafi by his name."

After hearing what Lafite said, Cleveland couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Actually, this time we came here to ask for your help..."

As soon as Cleveland told Lafite the purpose of his visit, he immediately reacted.

Isn't this the daily task of checking buoys in the sea area? Because there are no resources, only drills, so Lafite would never accept it before crossing.

The only thing worth mentioning is that this task gives a lot of experience.

However, Cleveland's commission is different from the normal sea buoy inspection. They want to add sonar that can monitor submarines at the original position of the buoy. Ordinary ship girls don't understand this. Fortunately, there is a pair of Brie sisters in the ship girl branch of Ningchuan City.

Even though the Brie sisters are not very reasonable, whether it is helping the ship girls grow or repairing some equipment, we cannot do without their help.

Their mission is to protect the Brie sisters who are not good at fighting.

Not all ship girls are good at fighting. For example, the Brie sisters and special maintenance ship girls are not good at fighting.

The mission also takes much longer than in the game, about a week, and the reward is of course higher than that of ordinary merchant ship escort.

Because the possibility of encountering a battle is very high, in addition to reimbursement of resources consumed during the escort process, each ship girl will receive 200 units of resources as a reward when settling the mission.

However, it is only limited to the three broken ship girls with a training level greater than level 70.

After hearing Cleveland's mission requirements, Javelin, who was expecting that she could also join in, couldn't help but look dim. She thought that she could help everyone after breaking the second one, but in the end she was still far from it.

At this moment, Lafite suddenly said, "Can you bring the javelin? Lafite lent her the equipment. The role she can play will not be worse than that of an ordinary three-broken ship girl."

"this......"

Cleveland showed a difficult expression on her face, but when she saw the golden-clad javelin displayed at Rafi's signal, she nodded decisively.

"No problem, I'll pay Javelin the same price."

Hearing this, Javelin immediately smiled happily.

......

The mission started this afternoon. The accompanying personnel include Javelin, Laffey, Ark Royal, Sheffield, Achilles and Cleveland, which can just form a fleet of ship girls.

After agreeing on a time to meet up, Cleveland and Achilles walked out of the door with weak steps.

"Cleveland, did you see that? That set of gold equipment, and it's all +10 enhanced graduation equipment! Why did I fight so hard on the front line for three years? Wasn't it just to make money, accumulate merits, and then change into a set of purple equipment?"

Achilles covered his mouth and cried, "But I am still wearing blue equipment."

Cleveland patted Achilles on the back and consoled him, "Alright, alright, it's just gold equipment, right? If we work hard for another ten years, we can probably get one or two pieces."

ten years!

After hearing what Cleveland said, Achilles cried even harder, making passers-by think that she was abandoned by a man.

You are not satisfied even though you have such a lovely girlfriend. Humph, you scumbag!

"Cleveland, I've made my decision."

Suddenly, Achilles raised his head and wiped his eyes, as if he had not cried.

Under Cleveland's subtle gaze, she put her hands on her hips and shouted, "I'm selling my body everywhere. I don't want to be free. I want to find someone to support me."

In an instant, nine out of ten men on the street turned their heads.

"What are you looking at? Can you afford to support me?"

After showing off his ability to break a lamp post with bare hands, the men immediately turned their heads back.

I can’t afford it!

Only Cleveland whispered, "Achilles, you have to pay for damaging public property."

......

Chapter 42: Construction of Sea Buoys

"Drill to the left, drill to the right, purin.purin no matter what~"

Holding a large drill, Kimbrey ran to the shore and looked at the

The yachts and cargo ships on board shouted happily: "We have work now, we need to get everything ready now."

Wearing a yellow engineering hat, Kim Buri ran to the yacht carrying large and small bags of things, and then waved to Zi Buri on the shore.

"Hurry up and get on board, it's time to go to work, purin~"

"Sister, sister, I can't hold it anymore, please help me quickly."

Holding a container as big as a small truck, Zibu was swaying from side to side, as if he might drop what was in his hands at any time.

"Sister Brie, just let me do this rough work."

Rolling up his sleeves, Ark Royal snatched what Zibuli was holding and placed the box full of buoys on the shore.

The ship girl who unfolds the ship's armor is like a superhero. She can easily lift things weighing several tons and unload boxes from the freighter next to her without even needing a crane.

"I'm telling you, a commission is a commission, but if you dare to attack the Brie sisters, I won't show any mercy."

Seeing Royal Ark's attentiveness, Bumblebee put his hands on his hips and said with a look of disgust.

Beside him, Omaha bit his finger and said unwillingly: "Why, why can't I accept this commission? These are all resources!"

She can earn 200 units of resources in a week by going out. Why can't such a good thing happen to her?

"If you run away, who will lead the anti-submarine fleet?"

Bumblebee spread her hands. How could she leave Omaha, a level 3 ship girl, unused and let those ship girls with low training levels take the risk?

She patted Omaha on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Isn't the monthly salary of the Kanmusu Division 50 units of resources? And there are rewards for attacking, so there is no need for you to compete with the Free Kanmusu for business, right?"

Even the commission to escort merchant ships is not available every day. Most cargo ships have already signed escort agreements with the port area and the Ship Girls branch of Ningchuan City. The free ship girls outside may only receive three or four commissions a month.

"How can ordinary Freedom Ship Girls be the same as those Freedom Ship Girls?"

Looking at the Javelin's golden ship uniform, Omaha said sourly that the fifty units of basic resource subsidy was not enough to cover her monthly interest.

There are many types of sonar buoys. According to the working mode, they are divided into active sonar buoys and passive sonar buoys; according to the orientation mode, they are divided into directional sonar buoys and non-directional (omnidirectional) sonar buoys; according to the transmission mode, they are divided into radio sonar buoys and wired sonar buoys; according to the mooring mode, they are divided into suspended sonar buoys and anchored sonar buoys.

The front-line headquarters planned to build a large number of anchored sonar buoy base stations along the coast to prevent night attacks and stop the Siren submarine's sneak attacks.

There have never been Siren submarines before, so there have been no buoys set up along the coast to monitor submarines. Now that the Siren submarine has been discovered, the setting of buoys must be put on the agenda.

Due to the convenience of maritime transportation, the maritime material transportation industry has been booming. Even the appearance of Siren warships could not stop the rise of this industry.

Therefore, it is impossible for the front-line command to completely destroy the maritime transportation industry just because submarines have infiltrated the rear waters.

Therefore, setting up anti-submarine sonar buoys has become the best way to counter Siren submarines.

Cable-powered anchored sonar buoys can be set up along the coast. The buoys can be powered by the shore so that they can work for a long time. If they are a little further away, only long-lasting batteries can be used.

However, a battery-powered buoy can continue to work for several months once deployed and can be recovered and reused, so it is not too wasteful.

The closer buoys were first handed over to ordinary human workers to lay submarine cables, while Rafi and the others took the Bri sisters to a farther place to set up buoys.

Buoys were mounted on the yacht, and Javelin and Achilles sailed on either side of the yacht, using sonar and radar to alert for the presence of the Siren warships.

The six people work in shifts, and when there are no Siren warships, only two people are needed to work.

Rafi licked his lips while watching the Brie sisters setting up sonar buoys in the sea with boredom. He thought that he had to drink cold beer on such a hot day.

By the way, how about having a barbecue party on a yacht?

He shook his head and dismissed this unrealistic idea. Although the submarine was full of ship girls, he could just run away if he couldn't defeat the Sirens. But since it was a job, he had to do it seriously.

Why did she take on this task? She shouldn't be short of money now.

As long as Ark Royal, Sheffield and Javelin were on the mission, right? She only needed to stay at home with Bailey and Albacore.

I wonder what kind of trouble the two little ones will make at home when they are not around.

Rafi closed his eyes and dozed off until an hour later, when Achilles and Javelin came up to relieve him.

"Leave Senior Lafei's task to me."

All I heard was Achilles patting his chest and saying.

Not knowing why Achilles wanted to help patrol in his place, Rafi shook his head: "Rafi can do it himself."

Rafi took out a new device. Inside the palm-sized glass ball was a small carrier-based aircraft.

A group of ship girls looked over curiously.

"What is this, is it a carrier-based aircraft?"

Hearing Javelin's curious voice, Rafi nodded: "

Well, it is a carrier-based aircraft that our destroyers can also use."

A carrier-based aircraft that can also be used by destroyers! ?

The longer they stayed with Laffey, the more the group of ship girls felt that they were weak ship girls who had never seen the world.

How can a destroyer use carrier-based aircraft?

Moreover, why would the equipment of carrier-based aircraft be equipment?

After Lafite was equipped with this device in the shape of a carrier-based aircraft, a dark blue carrier-based aircraft appeared above Lafite's head and flew into the sky.

This carrier-based aircraft was different from any carrier-based aircraft that Ark Royal had ever seen. It looked like neither a fighter, a torpedo plane, nor a bomber.

On the contrary, Sheffield, who occasionally read some newspapers, recognized the carrier-based aircraft in Laffite's hand.

"Is this a seaplane?"
