Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Quickly process information, analyze data, and summarize intelligence.

Its screen is very different from the commonly used command systems. Not only does it focus on different displayed content, but even the processing aspects are significantly different.

This is thanks to the programs he created himself, which improved the data processing speed of the command system and were highly optimized according to his needs and usage habits.

Simply put, he processed and deleted the functions of the original command system to make its effects more in line with his own needs.

In this way, the response speed of the entire command system was naturally improved, and those functions that were deleted would need to be supplemented by him.

He had already memorized the combat data of Javelin and Sirius. Based on their combat situation, Yang Sikang could basically grasp key information such as how much ammunition they had and whether they needed rest at any time.

According to the information feedback from the SG radar, the reconnaissance aircraft of the Tejas and Unicorn do not need to fly around outside all the time.

Since you don't know your current situation and how long the next battle will last, it is necessary to pay attention to these things at all times.

But what Guanghui and others didn't know was that Yang Sikang was trying something else at this time.

He is sending a signal of a special frequency band in an external loop.

Chapter 174 Temporary Teams

Some time before Guanghui and Yang Sikang met, in another area of ​​this sea.

Enterprise looked at the ship not far away and laughed.

She was very familiar with that ship, and it could be said that only that guy would dare to deploy the ship and fight there in such a situation.

"It's time to fight, Death."

The bald eagle on Enterprise's shoulder let out a cry, then flew out from her, spread its wings and quickly rose to altitude.

The eagle is both a part of her ship's uniform and a symbol.

Not far away, Wichita was fighting in front of her hull, with London and Minneapolis fighting alongside her.

What surprised Enterprise was that Belfast was the only one among Yang Sikang's maid team, and Essex and the others were completely nowhere to be seen.

The arrival of the Grim Reaper attracted Belfast's attention, and after a few seconds, the communication channel was connected.

"Ms. Enterprise, it looks like we're going to be fighting side by side this time."

"Yeah, so is there anything you need to tell me Belfast? For example, some arrangements that were discussed in advance."

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you. Yes, before we came in, the master had already agreed on all possible unexpected situations. So, Miss Enterprise, can you please follow my command for the time being in this battle?"

"No problem, but I'm not the only one here."

The mass-produced ships appeared behind Enterprise, and along with them came several shipgirls from their home ports.

The combat effectiveness of their side was greatly improved at once. After Enterprise briefly explained the situation, the command was handed over to Belfast.

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Enterprise."

"Oh, there's no need to say more. Now isn't the time to say such things, is it?"

"Yes."

The Grim Reaper swooped down from the sky, and at the same time Enterprise raised the ship-mounted longbow in her hand.

The bowstring was fully drawn and pointed diagonally towards the sky. The arrow flew out suddenly and then turned into a team of carrier-based aircraft that roared away.

☆

In the other direction, the situation seems a bit strange.

I don’t know why, but there are quite a few of Yang Sikang’s ship girls gathered here.

There are three Essex-level players, two Jarvis and Janus, and Hermione and Newcastle have Counterattack and Reputation.

Not only that, the person leading this team just happened to be... the Prince of Wales.

Although the knights of the Royal Army are not here, Dido and Suffolk are here.

Coupled with the large number of mass-produced models, the firepower here is unusually fierce for some reason.

Completely different from Yang Sikang's approach where even the route had to be carefully planned, after Shangri-La's carrier-based aircraft discovered the enemy, the strange mechanical device was hit by dozens of bombs and six main gun cross-fires in just one minute, and was directly shattered into a pile of scrap metal.

"Because there are too many members of the fleet here, are you worried about the situation over there, commander, so you're a little anxious?"

The Prince of Wales sighed silently as he looked at the two Essex-class men, who were orderly but still seemed rather impatient.

Shangri-La was relatively calm, but Fearless and Essex were quite impatient.

Most of the main forces in Yang Sikang's fleet appeared on this side, which meant that Yang Sikang might be in danger. Just this fact made it difficult for them to calm down, and the Prince of Wales didn't know how to persuade them.

Just when she was having trouble figuring out what to do, Shangri-La suddenly spoke on the communication channel.

"Essex, Dreadnought, your carrier-based aircraft are attacking too frequently, control them."

As soon as Shangri-La finished speaking, the Essex and Dauntless carrier-based aircraft actually slowed down.

This situation made the Prince of Wales' eyes light up again, and he murmured softly:

"The execution rate of the order is so high? And the one in charge is Shangri-La."

Shangri-La joined Yang Sikang's fleet relatively late, and she was ranked quite far back in the Essex-class sequence. But since entering this sea area, they seemed to have already determined that Shangri-La would be the commander.

This means that they have already determined in advance who will take over the command in the event of a shortage of personnel, and have also obtained the consent of others.

The higher the execution rate of the command, the higher the efficiency in combat.

There was no unnecessary nonsense, the entire communication channel remained quiet, and every command could be heard clearly and executed immediately.

This situation aroused the Prince of Wales' strong curiosity about Yang Sikang. She now wanted to know how Yang Sikang did this.

Every ship girl has her own combat habits, but Shangri-La handled it very well. She didn't think this was a coincidence.

Led by these people, the other ship girls were quickly brought into their battle rhythm. The command that should have been controlled by the Prince of Wales now actually fell into the hands of Shangri-La.

"Oh, but this feeling isn't that bad."

The Prince of Wales also joined the battle.

☆

"Isn't Commander Yang worried about the others?"

"do not worry."

The battle came to a temporary end, and there were no more Sirens around.

Having successfully escaped from the Siren's pursuit temporarily, Yang Sikang finally had time to meet Guanghui on the command ship.

"I don't need to worry about the others. We have made various emergency plans in advance. I believe they can handle the emergency well."

"But since we've been separated since we entered here, the others won't necessarily be together, right?"

"This is inevitable, but I still say that there is no need to worry."

Yang Sikang smiled slightly, deleted a document, and then said:

"The special features of this sea area are probably far more than this. The number of Siren ships far exceeds the number of enemies we can encounter in the outside world. Unless it is a large-scale team, it will be difficult to gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation. But on the other hand, if we can find the direction where a large battle is happening, it means we can find a large force."

“But it’s not easy.”

Guanghui responded while looking at Yang Sikang's command room with great interest, while Yang Sikang chuckled and amplified the SG radar's detection response on the main screen.

“But it doesn’t seem as difficult as I imagined.”

"Is this a carrier-based aircraft?"

"Yes, to be exact, this is an independent carrier-based aircraft."

Yang Sikang turned on a telescope that was located somewhere unknown on the bridge and looked in the direction where the carrier-based aircraft was detected.

On the sea in that direction, several reconnaissance planes were flying towards this side, and behind them were several ship girls.

And leading the way among them are Sheffield and Independent.

Chapter 175: Disappearance of Helena

Guanghui was a little surprised, but Yang Sikang looked as if he had expected it.

"Although we were separated when we came in here, there are still many of us. There will always be people who are close to us, so it's normal to meet them."

As Independence and Sheffield approached, Yang Sikang frowned.

The two looked very nervous, as if something unexpected had happened.

Only after the two sides got closer did the communication finally get through.

"Commander, Helena is missing!"

After taking the two men to the command ship, Yang Sikang first asked them to relax before asking about the details.

"We appeared with Helena after passing through the fog. Since you were not here, we decided to rely on an independent reconnaissance aircraft to try to investigate the surrounding situation. However, during the search, Helena crashed into a cloud of black fog and then disappeared."

"Disappear into thin air?"

Yang Sikang asked, Duli nodded, and Sheffield explained:

"The black fog seemed to be physical, covering Helena. Then I saw Helena look back, as if she was looking at something, and then she disappeared. My radar and independent carrier-based aircraft did not find any trace."

"Disappeared into thin air..."

Yang Sikang rubbed his fingers, his thoughts surging.

"I understand, but it may not be easy to find Helena in this situation. In any case, let's go back in the direction you came from and take a look at the place where this happened."

Yang Sikang was worried, but he knew that he must not panic in the current situation.

Helena's sudden disappearance simply spells out the word weird. Blindly searching everywhere without thinking may not only fail to find Helena, but may also bring big trouble.

This is the Sirens' territory. Although those who come here are not novices, their numbers are limited after all.

The Independence and Sheffield did not sail for very long, and even though the mass-produced ships slowed down their speed, it only took about an hour for them to return to their previous positions.

Yang Sikang looked at the radar response on the command ship and shook his head helplessly:

"The modified radar didn't find anything special. I'm going to go to the sea surface to take a look."

Several ship girls gathered around, and Yang Sikang came to the sea surface through the gangway. He frowned as he looked at the sea surface which was not far different from the last time he entered this area.

Compared to the last time we entered such waters, the underwater reefs seemed to be closer.

But in terms of density, the reefs have become much smaller.

Although large fleets are in danger of running aground, mass-produced warships are not traditional ships after all. They do not have large amounts of ammunition, living equipment and crew members, and their waterlines are much shallower, so the problem should not be particularly serious.

But the sea water itself looks very black, not the polluted black, but the kind of black that is like the abyss, bottomless.

The reef is clearly visible, but at the same time it seems bottomless?

Yang Sikang shook his head slightly. The sea surface shouldn't be like this normally. The current situation was as if all the light was swallowed up by the sea water.

He wanted to reach out and look below the water surface, but a sudden sense of panic surged in his heart.

Following his instinct, Yang Sikang took a few steps upwards, and the next second a fish jumped out of the water, its mouth full of sharp teeth and fine scales.

Yang Sikang kicked the fish, and half of its body was instantly broken and flew out. Just a few seconds after it entered the water, several similar fish swam over quickly and devoured the fish's body in a blink of an eye.

"Piranha? Not really. And a little weird."

Yang Sikang returned to the deck while muttering, retracted the gangway, and then began to think.

The Siren ships around are few in number and low in strength.

This aspect is consistent with Yang Sikang's impression. The closer to the outer area, the more fragile and weak these mass-produced units are.

vice versa.

"Independence, did the reconnaissance plane find anything?"

"We can roughly determine the direction the Siren ships came from, but we still can't find their source. As for Helena...there are no clues at all."

The independent tone was a little nervous. Yang Sikang pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly:

"Stop searching and focus on finding the source of the Sirens. At the same time, we will move in the direction the Sirens came from."

"Commander, Helena..."

"If we can't find her, there's no point in staying here. Helena just disappeared, maybe she appeared somewhere else. Only by solving the Siren problem and finding the others can we determine Helena's situation. And our search capabilities alone are not enough."

Yang Sikang was also very worried about Helena's situation, but as a commander he had to make a calm judgment.
