Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Although mass-produced battleships are quickly constructed using the Mind Cube, their energy sources still use oil and nuclear energy as their main energy sources.

Although ships are also equipped with weapon systems that use the energy of the Mind Cube for defense and attack, almost no one would do such a luxury as to directly use the Mind Cube to power mass-produced weapons.

But the fact is, we only need to let the Mind Cube supply energy to mass-produced ships, and the ship girls can still move normally on the ship even if they unfold their ship suits.

Yang Sikang believes that this is probably because when powered by the Mind Cube, the ship's equipment will become "one" with the ship itself, but the specific reason remains to be studied.

But the result is just like this. It’s actually not complicated, but no one does it.

Ultimately, it is a question of resource demand.

Resources are limited, so they will naturally be provided to the more "important" parts first.

The White Eagle and the Royal are the same on this point, and it seems that Donghuang is no exception.

So Yang Sikang had to remind them, otherwise the Purifier might really give them some surprises.

The Prince of Wales asked many detailed questions about this matter.

After some communication, the topic gradually shifted from the heavy side to the ordinary side.

Guanghui also raised a question following the trend of the topic:

"Commander Yang, your port is still under reconstruction, right? Aren't you worried that it might be destroyed by the Sirens?"

Chapter 211 The Royal Fleet Joins the Battle

"I'm not worried."

Yang Sikang shook his head and said:

"This question is actually easy to answer. Although the QX-306 port and its surrounding ports were destroyed, as far as I know, that large area of ​​sea was not occupied by Sirens. On the contrary, after the war, even the humanoid Sirens such as Explorers and Trackers that appeared in that area became much rarer."

"That is the case. Commander Yang, do you think that this is because the Siren does not want to occupy those waters?"

"We don't know whether there were any high-level Sirens involved in that battle, but if there were high-level Sirens there afterwards, wouldn't the effect be much better than appearing around this home port?"

Yang Sikang smiled slightly and asked:

"In the waters surrounding the QX-306 port area, where the garrison area has been destroyed, the defense force is lacking, and even the infrastructure has been completely paralyzed, no one can stop the Purifiers or Testers from appearing there.

Even if Azur Lane wanted to fight them, it would first have to face the problem of having no port area to rest and no good logistical support. The shipgirls can fight continuously with high intensity, but ordinary people who participate in it cannot. "

“But the Siren did not appear over there, but instead appeared around the home port where we are now.

Even though it is not a frontline and does not have a very high combat power, this is after all a home port rather than a port area controlled by a single commander. The defensive strength, logistics and support are far from comparable to those around QX-306. But high-level sirens still appear here. "

Having said this, he shook his head and said:

"It's fine if those commander candidates in the port area who have nothing to do all day can't figure out this aspect of the problem, but Miss Guanghui, you are not someone who can't think of such things. What you really want to ask is why I have attracted such strong hostility from the Sirens, right?"

Guanghui smiled and did not refute Yang Sikang's words.

This was already a tacit agreement with Yang Sikang's statement, but Yang Sikang originally had no concerns about such things.

Seeing that the Prince of Wales was also looking over, Yang Sikang said bluntly:

"The reason is simple. I am not from this world. I was rescued from the sea by Cleveland and brought back, but it is impossible for a person to appear on the sea for no reason. I am not from this world, but from another different world. This is why the Siren is very hostile to me."

Guanghui frowned slightly, while the Prince of Wales said bluntly:

"But the Sirens also come from another world."

"I have no connection with Sirens outside of this world, and Sirens don't necessarily come from another world. They actually have many similarities with you, don't they?"

"But they are enemies that suddenly appeared in the world, occupied a large area of ​​the sea, and cut off shipping routes."

Yang Sikang looked directly into the Prince of Wales's sharp gaze and responded with a smile:

"But we should remain objective when looking at things."

The Prince of Wales frowned and did not respond to this question. Guanghui looked at Yang Sikang meaningfully, as if he was thinking about something.

Yang Sikang took another sip of black tea, picked up the biscuit, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The crispy biscuits are ground and then gradually softened.

After Yang Sikang finished eating two cookies, Guanghui spoke again:

"Come to think of it, Commander Yang, you don't seem as nervous about the recent battle with the Sirens as before."

"Yes."

Many people saw his performance, and he had no intention of hiding it.

“Fear comes from the unknown, but if you understand the other party’s purpose and identity, it won’t be so scary.”

"But aren't you the Siren's target?"

“So I don’t have to worry anymore.”

Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"Now that everyone knows that the Siren's target is me, will you hand me over to the Siren?"

"will not."

Guanghui said decisively and understood what Yang Sikang meant.

Although he is the target of the enemy, Azur Lane will definitely protect him no matter what.

Have no fear.

But Guanghui still had to admire Yang Sikang's good mentality. Even if ordinary people knew that they had something to rely on, they would still feel tremendous psychological pressure when being targeted by an enemy like Siren.

"By the way, Miss Glory. I would like to ask Miss Charybdis for a favor. Is that okay?"

"Charybdis?"

Guanghui turned her head and glanced at Charybdis, who nodded slightly. Then she said:

"Yes, may I know what you would like Charybdis to do?"

"It's nothing serious. I just prepared some gifts for the children of Donghuang, and I wanted to ask Miss Charybdis to help me deliver them."

"Gift?"

Guanghui looked at Belfast behind Yang Sikang in confusion, then looked in the direction of the door.

"That's fine, but why Charybdis?"

"Because I'm a little busy here, and I think Miss Charybdis is quite suitable."

Yang Sikang's intention was not revealed at all, but Guanghui thought about it and nodded.

After all, this is a simple matter, and it is also a good thing for them to have more contact with Donghuang people.

The pressure from the Purifiers is quite high now, but it is difficult for either the White Eagle or the Royal to provide high-intensity support in the short term.

It is very important now to know in what areas Donghuang can provide help.

Charybdis himself had no objection to this, so the matter was quickly settled.

After the two men finished talking, the Prince of Wales asked:

"It's almost time for your special exercise. Are you ready?"

"more or less."

Yang Sikang thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Anyway, it's not something that needs to be taken too seriously, and there's nothing special that needs to be prepared."

The Prince of Wales frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his answer.

Yang Sikang knew that the Prince of Wales attached great importance to combat matters, especially as a knight, he had his own opinions on exercises and other such exchanges.

“虽然人数上是我这边劣势，但是人多并不等于战力强大。演习不是玩游戏，1+1=2，但有时候1+1+1就有可能小于2甚至小于1。我没有轻视对手的意思，但说实话现在的这些对手实在是没有让我提起兴致的资本。”

Yang Sikang's words sounded somewhat arrogant, but after hearing this, the Prince of Wales unexpectedly did not refute anything.

This surprised Guanghui, who knew the Prince of Wales quite well, but the Prince of Wales continued:

"In that case, let me get involved."

Yang Sikang looked over in surprise, and the Prince of Wales said again:

"You have conducted many exercises with our Royal Fleet. You are indeed very strong. You are right. Although your opponents are numerous, they lack a reliable commander. I wonder if I am qualified enough."

"Haha, this is quite interesting~ Then I'll join in too."

Guanghui also said with a smile, and Yang Sikang looked around silently. Except for Dido, the maids were also eager to try. With Dido's personality, she would definitely not be an exception if others participated.

"Then I have to prepare well."

Yang Sikang said with a smile.

Chapter 212 The exercise begins, artillery fire roars

The royal ship girls decided to join that large-scale exercise and participate in it as Yang Sikang's opponents. This news caused an uproar once it was leaked.

Even people who have never actually learned about it would have a certain idea of ​​the Royal Fleet's combat power.

The reason why Yang Sikang's fleet was able to improve so quickly in a short period of time was that exercises with the Royal Fleet were an indispensable and important part of it.

No matter how sophisticated the tactical arrangement is, it must be confirmed through actual combat to determine its true effect. Most of the time, the result of talking about it on paper is a miserable end.

The Royal Fleet joining the larger side immediately solved the problem of command.

Before, because there were so many people, they might have to discuss issues such as how to command each other, but after the royal fleet joined, this issue no longer needed to be discussed.

Although the royal fleet had no intention of discussing the matter with others, more and more people suddenly believed that Yang Sikang would lose.

The reason is very simple. Yang Sikang's fleet lost more than it won in exercises with the Royal Fleet.

Now that we have so many helpers, how can we lose?

However, after returning to the villa, Yang Sikang did not make any other preparations except asking Belfast to inform others that the Royal Fleet would participate in the exercise and would be their opponent.

There was no special tactical arrangement, nor was there any intention to deal with the Royal Fleet specifically.

Except for Belfast and Javelin, everyone else was a little confused about this, until finally Belfast had to say to the others:

"The master has made all the arrangements, we just need to fight with confidence."

As for Yang Sikang himself, he once again stayed in the laboratory.

This time, even Belfast and Hermione were unable to follow in, leaving Yang Sikang alone in the entire laboratory.

Even Belfast would have been uneasy if the three meals and drinks had not been taken and drunk on time.

Time soon came to the night before the exercise was scheduled to begin.

Late at night, Yang Sikang was still busy in front of the computer in the basement laboratory.

After these days of continuous hard work, his research finally had a chance to bear fruit.

Excited Yang Sikang completely forgot about his fatigue of the past few days and quickly debugged the program, preparing for the final attempt.

Half an hour later, there was a flash of white light inside the machine, and what he wanted finally appeared inside.

This machine is used to debug ship equipment, and some simple ship equipment can also be produced by this machine.

There are very few machines like this in the port area, and since their functions have long been replaced by more advanced machines, Yang Sikang spent a lot of time to get this thing.

Even so, after completing this production, the machine was still overwhelmed and was scrapped.

"Fortunately, it was finally completed. Haha, this is just right."

Yang Sikang took out the thing from the machine with a smile and laughed.

The next day, the area around the largest training ground in the port area was filled with ships early in the morning.

Basically all the commanders of the entire port area, whether they were participating or not, came, and the ship girls were no exception.

Even the office building in the port area decided to temporarily stop working during the exercise, which shows that this exercise has indeed attracted the attention of the entire port area.

"It's so lively, Master."

Belfast looked around and smiled.

"Yes."

Yang Sikang also smiled and reached out to touch Javelin's head. The nervous Javelin trembled for a moment, then turned his head and looked over with some concern.
