Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

However, there was no abnormality on Yang Sikang's command ship.

"The main guns we carried before were too dangerous, so I used this energy supply system for other purposes."

Yang Sikang explained:

"Use the Mind Cube to directly power mass-produced ships, so that the ship girl can move normally on the ship without directly destroying the ship."

"I see...Aren't you feeling nervous now?"

"not nervous."

Yang Sikang shook his head:

"The Purifier came alone, and this must be just a test. Regardless of the outcome, our lives will not be in danger. I am now very sure of this."

Mavis's brows were still furrowed, but Yang Sikang did not seem to be very nervous.

The battle against the Purifiers seemed to have completely changed when Yang Sikang gave the order. Although the firepower and flexibility of the Purifiers had not been reduced at all, the attacks of the ship girls on Yang Sikang's side on the Purifiers were much more accurate.

An effective attack brings greater suppression power, and when the tactics are effectively executed, the disadvantage of the Purifier coming alone is greatly magnified.

The patrol team's ship girls were dumbfounded. Their attacks still had a very low hit rate, but they totally couldn't understand what was going on.

Mavis also asked this question in the bridge, and Yang Sikang just showed her something.

"Adjust the fire control system on the spot?!"

Mavis couldn't help but scream out.

The fire control system is not a simple thing. It is not something that can be modified casually.

What's more, making temporary changes during the battle is simply crazy behavior.

In this regard, Yang Sikang explained lightly:

"I prepared several plans in advance. I analyzed the data fed back to me during the war, and then matched them to find the most suitable system for deployment. So in fact, I just changed a set of algorithms that had been prepared long ago."

"To put it simply..."

Mavis sighed helplessly:

"This is not that easy. And how could anyone normally prepare multiple sets of algorithms and be able to replace them on the spot? The degree of modification of your command ship seems to be even more excessive than the previous one."

"As long as no one finds out, it's not considered modified."

Yang Sikang spoke outrageously without a care in the world, and Mavis had no intention of refutating him.

The effect after changing the fire control was very obvious, and this result was enough to prove that what he did was correct in content.

But at the same time, Mavis couldn't help but wonder why no one had done such a thing before Yang Sikang.

After all, ship girls are different from ordinary ships. Although their fire control radar is important, it is not their only reliance when attacking.

For ordinary ships, it is impossible to expect the crew to collect information and make calculations based on visual means, but for ship girls, this problem can be handled.

For example, Yang Sikang changed the behavior of fire control through the command ship.

Such operations require not only sufficient preparation, but also technological breakthroughs.

The most important point is how to replace the algorithm. Obviously, Yang Sikang has solved the technical problems in this regard.

Sirius and others' pursuit of the Purifiers caused the battle to become more intense, and they partially abandoned the firepower of the ship, but in return the entanglement of close combat was greatly increased.

The Purifier was unable to fully display her abilities when under siege from multiple people, and her individual combat power, which far exceeded that of the other ship girls on Yang Sikang's side, could not be fully utilized.

This situation lasted for more than ten minutes. The Purifier finally became angry and humiliated, and he could no longer bear the beating.

"unacceptable!!"

The Purifier suddenly fired at her feet, forcing Sirius and his men to retreat. Although she herself was injured, she finally escaped from being surrounded and attacked.

She was about to fight back, but the smoke bombs thrown by several people from Belfast hit her directly on the forehead.

The smoke quickly spread over the sea, blocking the shooting range and making the vision extremely poor.

There seemed to be something mixed in the smoke bomb. The Purifier frowned and hesitated for a few seconds, then fled the battlefield into the distance without looking back.

Watching the Purifier's back gradually disappearing into the distance, Yang Sikang let out a breath, his lips slightly curled up.

Close combat is very dangerous for ship girls. The bombardment from their companions may also hurt them, and the fight itself will affect their companions' attacks.

Using this tactic without full coordination would be a dead end. However, for Yang Sikang's current team, although they were barely able to do so, it was enough to ensure that the firepower under this tactic would not be reduced too much.

"From the perspective of data collection, the Purifiers did us a favor this time."

Yang Sikang looked at the collected data with satisfaction, and could hardly suppress his smile.

Mavis took a look, frowned and shook her head:

"Can't you collect this data during normal exercises? Even if there are deviations, they should have been corrected after so many battles, right?"

"But even so, the effects in different scenarios and environments may not be exactly the same."

Yang Sikang looked at the data table, retrieved the data about the three Essex-class members, backed it up to another memory, and then said:

"Essex-class combat data. These are the most important things to me right now. No matter how much, it won't be too much."

Chapter 208 Yang Sikang's Hidden Worries

After repelling the Purifiers, Yang Sikang led the team to escort the patrol back to the home port.

What followed was a familiar process: reporting the situation, accepting the examination, and then running to the hospital to be thoroughly examined from head to toe by Mavis.

Because he had not been checked before, this time it took until the whole night, and Mavis let him go only after all the tests were completed.

After a busy day, the first thing Yang Sikang saw when he returned to the villa was the hot soup prepared by the maid team.

Stew it early and then let it cool so that it is just the right temperature when he comes back.

The ingredients are properly stewed and melt in your mouth. The flavor is all in the soup, and one bite makes you feel very relaxed.

"Considering that you need to get up early tomorrow, I haven't prepared anything refreshing for you. Please go to bed early today."

Belfast kneaded Yang Sikang's shoulders and spoke gently. Yang Sikang took another sip of hot soup, enjoying the massage from the head maid, and sighed helplessly:

"The Purifier who appeared before us today is me. Things are going to get more troublesome from now on."

"But you have made enough preparations. If this preparation is still not enough, then it is not a problem that you can solve alone, right?"

"That's true... but it's always unsettling to realize that a crisis might be coming."

Belfast smiled, not shaken by Yang Sikang's words, and said softly:

"But you always seem to be very calm, which makes everyone feel at ease."

"Haha, I'm the commander after all. How can I do anything if I'm at a loss?"

Yang Sikang let out a breath, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke:

"I want to do some construction that might be dangerous."

"Master, are you planning to get involved in the Red Axis camp?"

"Yes."

Yang Sikang did not hide anything about Belfast and said frankly:

"Although the Red Axis is hostile to Azur Lane, the two sides are not at war yet. Before the two sides take action, there should still be a chance for operation. But once the war starts..."

"But Master, if we want to go to Sakura Empire, we have to go through Donghuang. You mentioned this before."

"Yes."

Yang Sikang sighed:

"The distance between Sakura Empire and Eastern Empire is too close. No matter what we want to do in Sakura Empire, Eastern Empire's help is far better than the support from White Eagle. And in the worst case scenario, we have to consider the possibility of direct action. Although I think the probability of this happening is very low, we still have to be prepared."

"Then if you start building it before going to Sakura Empire, even if you succeed, I'm afraid that Donghuang will..."

Yang Sikang's eyes flickered.

There are many reasons why he needs ship girls from the Red Axis camp, of which the need for scientific research is only one part. More importantly, he now needs some ship girls who can do things without scruples and make others fear them.

Whether it is the White Eagle or the Royal, they are all members of the Azur Lane after all.

He is surrounded by the White Eagle and the Royal Navy's ship girls. No matter how strong they are, others know that they will abide by the rules, so they have no fear at all. That is why many unnecessary troubles always come to him.

But if there are ship girls from the Red Axis camp, whether it is Iron Blood or Sakura Empire, those who want to test the waters have to think twice.

The ship girls of the Red Axis are not as reasonable as those of the White Eagle and the Royal Fleet, and this is enough to eliminate many troubles.

Of course, the more important issue for him is his own needs.

Although the Red Axis has been established and is hostile to Azur Lane, the two sides have not officially started a war and are not yet in a state of war.

But once the battle starts, the situation of him wanting to build a red axis ship girl will be completely different.

The two are fundamentally different, and with the appearance of the Purifier himself, his strong sense of crisis makes him feel that the Red Axis must also take action as soon as possible.

"Actually, the Iron Blood camp has no problem for me."

Yang Sikang said directly:

"As long as I want, I can build several ship girls of Iron Blood anytime. But the Sakura Empire is still unable to communicate, and I can communicate very little."

"Master, are you a little too anxious?"

Belfast stopped massaging and asked, Yang Sikang turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Belfast walked to the seat next to Yang Sikang and sat down, then said:

"Your previous plan is progressing smoothly. Although the current situation is somewhat unexpected, it does not exceed our expectations when we first discussed it. Master, you seem to be a little too anxious recently. Is there something that makes you feel uneasy?"

Yang Sikang was speechless. After a moment's silence, he sighed.

Is there something that makes him uneasy?

Of course there is.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Sikang decided to tell Belfast.

"Do you remember what Helena said after leaving the Mirror Sea?"

"Yes, of course I remember. The ship girl Helena met should be from your previous world, right?"

"That's how it should be."

He didn't find it strange that Belfast could think of this, and nodded to directly confirm Belfast's judgment, but then he said:

"Whether from the description of the Prince of Wales or Helena, the condition of my former ship girls is very bad. I don't know how long they can maintain that state, and I don't know what they are planning now. But..."

When the words came to his lips, Yang Sikang didn't know how to start.

After thinking it over, he could only smile helplessly.

The head maid was a little moved, but she still thought calmly and said:

"Master, you are worried. They are using their lives to pave the way for you... right?"

Belfast's words made Yang Sikang pause for a moment. He nodded helplessly and said:

"My body in the previous world was not as healthy as it is now in this world. It's not even certain whether I can be considered a human being before. But after coming to this world, my body is very healthy and I don't have any problems."

"But they are all seriously injured, with no signs of recovery. Plus, Helena said she heard the ship girl tell her that their injuries were incurable, which made me think about it."

"Master, you are our commander, but you are also their commander."

Belfast said with a smile.

Yang Sikang sighed with a wry smile. The person in front of him was Belfast. He might not dare to talk about these things in the same way with other people.

"Although it makes me jealous, Master."

Belfast looked into Yang Sikang's eyes and asked seriously:

"You trust us so much, don't you trust them?"

Yang Sikang was stunned for a moment, and Belfast continued:

"And since they are your former shipgirls, they should be considered our companions, right? Although it's a bit strange, it's also nice to have the opportunity to learn what shipgirls from another world look like~"

Belfast said again firmly:

"So please let us work with you, Master."
