Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

The result was obvious. Within a few minutes, two columns of water exploded in the distant sea.

Soon, Craven and Javelin came over excitedly from the sea, each holding a few stunned fish.

When Craven arrived, he helped the children prepare the grilled fish, while Yang Sikang stepped back calmly and walked to the javelin.

"what happened?"

"Commander, there seems to be something wrong with the submarine this time."

"Something's wrong?"

Yang Sikang frowned and looked at the location where the water column had exploded previously.

"Do you remember where the battle started?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, let's report the matter first, and then we'll go over there and take a look after we finish the work."

Chapter 20 A Dilemma

It was not until the evening that the two of them were completely free.

There is a place to rent motorboats in the port area, and I rented one for a small amount of money.

Yang Sikang rode a motorboat with the Javelin deploying in front to lead the way, and the two headed straight for the place where the Siren submarine was sunk during the day.

When we arrived at the place, it was already calm.

You can't see anything on the sea surface at all, the sea surface is the same everywhere you look.

Under the evening breeze, the sea water raised small waves, pushing the motorboat up and down slightly.

"Javelin, are you sure this is the right place?"

"Yes, this is the location."

"Okay, wait here for a while."

"Commander, do you really want to go down? Isn't this too dangerous..."

"Don't worry, I'm very skilled in diving. And I've brought my equipment with me. I'll leave my safety rope to you. Please help me keep watch on the surface of the water."

"Yes!"

He opened the storage box of the motorboat and took off his outer clothes to reveal the diving suit underneath.

Take out the fins, oxygen tank, respirator and underwater headlamp, then take a small box and tie it to your hand.

After making a gesture for the javelin, Yang Sikang leaned back and dived directly into the water.

Diving in the sea without protection is a very dangerous thing.

It's not just the threat to marine life, the ocean itself is extremely dangerous.

Coupled with the unknown seabed conditions, all kinds of accidents can happen at any time.

During the first dive, Javelin strongly rejected Yang Sikang and opposed him going into the water alone.

It was not until he proved that his diving skills were indeed superb and also used the reason that he needed Javelin to keep watch on the sea surface that Javelin agreed to let him go down alone.

The water here was not turbid, and with the illumination of the head-mounted searchlight, he quickly saw the fragments sunk to the bottom of the sea during his descent.

The Siren's technology is completely different from the technology here.

The Siren's mass-produced ships will have their energy systems destroyed after suffering fatal damage, so the ship girls have not yet learned how the Siren's mass-produced ships use the Rubik's Cube function.

Judging from the shapes of the large fragments that could be barely discerned, this was indeed a mass-produced submarine.

But after Yang Sikang approached these fragments and examined them closely, he always felt that something was wrong.

But the mass-produced version of Siren does look like this.

After checking it over and over again, when Yang Sikang was about to give up, the headlight shone on the fragments, reflecting a faint blue light.

Blue?!

He hurriedly checked it carefully, repeatedly checking with the light on his head, and confirmed that the light on this mass-produced model was indeed blue.

Although he was shocked inside, Yang Sikang still made a prompt decision to pick up a few pieces of debris from the seabed, and then floated up directly without any lingering feelings.

This trip was quite safe, the sea was smooth and there were no accidents along the way.

After getting out of the water, Yang Sikang placed the fragments in his hands directly on the motorboat, then climbed up and took off his mask and fins.

"Commander, is this a fragment of Siren's submarine?"

"Yes, fragments of the Siren's submarine."

Yang Sikang collected the fragments, stuffed the things into the storage box, and then started the motorboat.

"Let's go back first."

The motorboat was going very fast, but Yang Sikang, who was dripping with water, looked very embarrassed.

As soon as he came out of the water, he experienced the strong wind caused by the high speed of the motorboat. If his body was not strong enough, he would not have been able to withstand it.

However, the motorboat was first stopped at an empty beach, and he waited until he changed into spare clothes before returning it.

The cost of renting a motorboat was not much, but when Yang Sikang returned home, his expression was very serious.

"Javelin, did you see the color of the submarine when you went to deal with it?"

"Color? Uh-huh...color...it seems to be blue?"

Yang Sikang paused and sighed.

The mass-produced Siren models can be clearly distinguished by their color.

The most common mass-produced type, which is Type I, is red in color. This does not refer to the hull but the color of the luminous part on top is red.

And Type II… is blue.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, although Type II is slightly stronger than Type I, it is really only slightly stronger.

The port area has sufficient anti-submarine equipment, and the difference between Type I and Type II mass-produced submarines will not be very large.

but!

Type II in the game only appears in event story levels!

Type I is red, Type II is blue and Type III is purple.

Type I and Type III can be found in large-scale battles, but Type II only appears in some activity levels in the game!

How come the one that appears here is Type II?

Yang Sikang couldn't help but feel a headache.

It's not like he has done nothing in the past five months. The huge difference between this world and the β experimental field has been completely confirmed.

He didn't think there would be any "activity" coming here.

Besides, even if there is a problem, shouldn’t it be the problem of Azur Lane headquarters?

This is not the headquarters!

But it’s better to be cautious. The appearance of this Type II submarine really made him feel uneasy.

The armor fragments of Siren's mass-produced ships were not rare. He took the fragments of the Type II submarine he had picked up and went straight to the port office area, and then asked someone to hand over the fragments to the enterprise.

He didn't know if there was any point in doing this, but since an accident had happened, he couldn't just do nothing.

"It's mid-August now. People from the headquarters will come in October. At this time, a Siren II submarine appeared near the port. Alas, it looks like a storm is coming. But..."

The only ship girls under his command now are Javelin and Belfast, and Belfast has been helping Enterprise, but the price is that her personal strength is improving very slowly.

Of course, if there is a way to get better ship equipment, the combat power of the ship girl can be improved at once.

But the ship equipment in this world is not that easy to make.

Even the anti-submarine equipment is distributed and then recovered after get off work, so destroyers, light cruiser main guns, magnetic torpedoes and the like are even more difficult to deal with.

The Azur Lane headquarters does have its own R&D and production systems, but the output is only a small amount when divided among the various home port areas.

Even for White Eagle, which has the most powerful industrial system, productivity is far from keeping up with the huge demand.

Even those frontline ports are equipped with independent production lines!

He had been interning for five months. If the ship equipment of Javelin and Belfast were to be described in a gaming way, it would probably be white equipment, or at most blue.

Looking at the composition of commanders in the port area, nine out of ten are either destroyers or light cruisers.

I haven't even seen a heavy cruiser, let alone an aircraft carrier and a battlecruiser?

Apart from the companies, there are really not many...

With this configuration and equipment, you want to participate in gaming activities?

It would be better to commit suicide sooner!

He thought to himself that if the Siren really showed up to cause trouble, he wouldn't even be able to protect himself with his current strength.

It's not that there is no ship equipment in this port area. From the information provided by Belfast, it can be confirmed that there are some stocks of various types of ship equipment in this home port.

The lack of equipment for destroyers and light cruisers is simply due to the high demand, and the lack of general-purpose equipment.

However, other types of ship equipment are still in stock, especially battleship main guns and various carrier-based aircraft.

He still had two Rubik's Cubes, which was just enough for one construction.

However, he now has limited ways to get the Rubik's Cube.

If he used these two Rubik's Cubes, there was a certain possibility that his original plan would not be completed, but if he had to use them, he could never use them on the spot.

Otherwise, if the ship girl is built without time to familiarize herself with the game and train, how different is that from sending her to her death?

To gamble or not to gamble, that is also a question...+

Chapter 21 The Siren Attacks

This question troubled Yang Sikang for a whole week, but in the end he decided... not to gamble.

Firstly, he still had hope and didn't believe that the Sirens would bypass the front line and come to this home port.

Secondly, this home port is not without the ability to fight back, as there are still people under the company.

The third and most important point is that the two Rubik's Cubes he has are only enough for one construction, and the impact on the battle situation in a hurry is too small.

In this short period of time, no matter who he pulls out from the Royal Camp, it is impossible for them to sweep all the way. At most, he can ask for Glory to save his life.

But in that case, Belfast + Glory?

The Glorious class is different from Belfast's maid team and Joe's level 5 knight team. They are real royal aristocrats.

I'm afraid he will have to live in the royal family until his death!

So although he was quite worried, he still decided to trust this home port and the capabilities of the company.

Time did not slow down because of his uneasiness, and in the blink of an eye, October was already here.

Belfast is willing to help businesses until October 1st.

But no matter what the companies said, Belfast declined the proposal to extend the time further.

Yang Sikang increased his own training and the amount of training for javelin.

This additional part was not arranged according to Baiying's plan, but was a plan made by Yang Sikang himself.

The strength of javelin has improved significantly, but Yang Sikang's own training has been ridiculed by many people.

As a commander, the normal practice in this world is to make plans and formulate strategies in the rear, and then leave the specific execution and combat to the ship girls.

Especially in terms of combat, almost all authority is left to the ship girls.

It's fine for the commander to improve his physical fitness, but combat skills?

Do you still want to tear the ship girl apart with your bare hands? No matter how strong your physical fitness is, you can't withstand a cannon!

As for these people, Yang Sikang’s response was very simple and clear: ignore them.

The best response is to not respond. These people are asking for trouble and will soon stop paying attention to this issue.

As for the fact that there are always people looking at him as if he is a fool when they see him on the street, what does that have to do with him?
