Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"Miss York, since you mentioned the changes of the Sirens, then I would like to ask, do you know when the Sirens began to undergo drastic changes?"

York City hesitated for a moment, and Musashi immediately said:

"It started to change after His Excellency Yang Sikang became the commander."

Musashi looked at Yorktown with a fierce look:

"The existence of high-level Sirens has always been known only to a few of our own shipgirls in each camp, and the danger we face comes more from the huge number of mass-produced Sirens. However, since His Excellency Yang Sikang became the commander, things have changed in a very short time.

Just over a year ago, the existence of high-level sirens was just a speculation, but what about now?

Purifier, Tester, I heard that Lord Yang Sikang once said that there is a high-level Siren who has never appeared.

In just over a year, the appearance of three high-level Sirens has brought the biggest change to the situation, isn't it?"

"It's a testament to the specialness of my command."

"Yes, Mr. Yang Sikang is indeed very special, but how much does this have to do with us?"

Musashi sighed, changed to a more comfortable posture, and said lazily:

"I generally understand what you want to say, York City, but since Chongzakura has chosen to leave Azur Lane, we naturally have our own reasons. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, there will be nothing to say, it will just be a competition. Just down."

Yorktown frowned slightly, but Musashi continued:

"We have never stopped Mr. Yang Sikang from what he did in Chongying, and we have also given some help. At least for now, I think I have done my best. Miss York City, you want to make me stand with just a few words. It would be too whimsical to go to your place.”

Musashi's attitude was very casual, but the tone of his words was unquestionable.

Yorktown knew that it was hopeless for him to persuade Musashi, but he still felt a little disappointed when he was rejected so decisively.

Although she knew that she was not very good at diplomacy, since there was such an opportunity, she still wanted to give it a try.

"Miss York City, you must be tired too. Take a rest first."

Yorktown smiled and nodded, then stood up and left the room.

Watching York City leave, Musashi let out a long sigh.

"Although it has returned as an Essex-class ship, Yorktown remains the same as always."

Musashi felt helpless about Yorktown's words.

York City's intention was obvious. She noticed that Chong Ying seemed to be in contact with the siren, and she felt uneasy about it.

Therefore, Yorktown wanted to stop this or wanted to save Sakura Empire.

But how can the affairs between the camps be decided by one or two people? Moreover, as for York City's words, Musashi could clearly see that York City did not understand the current situation of the Sakura Empire as well as Yang Sikang did.

The scarcity of resources and the high dependence on external resources mean that the Sakura Empire must attach more importance to sea control than other factions.

Once the maritime trade routes were cut off, the Sakura Empire might enter a state of chronic death at any time. However, in the more than a year since Yang Sikang became the commander, high-level sirens that previously only existed in speculation have appeared one after another and demonstrated combat effectiveness beyond imagination.

What's even more terrifying is the control and command ability that the high-level Sirens have shown over the mass-produced Sirens. For the Sakura Empire, this is undoubtedly another huge rock on their already not-so-good condition.

Even if the other camps temporarily lost to the Sirens at sea, or even lost more than a dozen frontline ports including QX-306 in one go like the White Eagle, it was not a serious loss. With routes maintained by ports in other directions and support from the mainland, they had plenty of opportunities to try and fail.

But Chongying can't.

For the Sakura Empire, the result of advancing steadily along with Azur Lane is very likely to lead to the collapse of its own territory. Once it is completely defeated, it will be too late to stand up again even with the help of other camps.

York City did not see this clearly, and her overly idealistic ideas naturally did not receive support from Musashi, let alone work in Chongsakura.

Musashi certainly knew that it would be very dangerous to come into contact with the Sirens or even try to use their technology, but the Sakura Empire did not have many choices.

If utilizing the Siren's technology can make more efficient use of Sakura Empire's limited resources, then it doesn't matter even if other factions don't understand.

If the combat capability of Sakura Empire can be enhanced, what difference will the Siren's technology make?

Are the Yamato class really completely unaware of what the First Carrier Fleet did?

Not necessarily.

But even if they knew, they had no reason to stop Akagi.

If the Sakura Empire has been dragged to death, what is the point of their persistence?

"At least this time, I must protect everything to the end, no matter what the cost..."

Musashi looked at the piece of paper that still lay there, muttering to himself, and tore it into pieces with a wave of his hand.

After being settled, Yorktown simply washed up and lay down on the bed.

She naturally saw and understood Musashi's reaction clearly. Although Musashi seemed very interested in the first half, his attitude quickly turned cold after she said what she said.

She knew there must be something wrong with her, but she had no idea what the problem was.

It was obvious that the Sirens were very dangerous and were the enemies they were supposed to fight against, but the Sakura Empire had already vaguely been trying to contact and cooperate with them. However, Musashi, who had the ability and position to stop the First Carrier from doing so, was actually indifferent to this.

York City sighed, remembering that she had raised this question with Yang Sikang not long ago.

Yang Sikang's answer to her was that he would handle the matter and it was enough to leave it to him.

Having said that, it was still difficult for Yorktown to accept that the ship girl from the same family would leave such a major matter involving the camp's stance to her commander to handle alone.

But Musashi's reaction poured cold water on her.

dong dong dong.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and York City came to his senses.

"Yes, please come in."

She tidied her appearance and spoke. The door opened and a maid came in and respectfully placed a file bag on the table.

"Lord Musashi ordered this document to be sent to you. Please destroy it after reading it."

The maid left the room, leaving only the briefcase.

The bag was very thin. After York City opened it, he found only two pieces of paper inside, one was folded and the other seemed to be a piece of letter paper.

She decided to take out the folded paper first, but the moment she took it out and opened it, York City suddenly stood up.

As she stood up, the ship suit unfolded automatically on both sides of her body, the light of the mind cube shone, and Yorktown's rapid breathing gradually calmed down under the shining of the cube.

The core cube in his body, which had become unstable in an instant, calmed down again, but York City's emotions could not be calmed down.

She quickly folded the painting again and took deep breaths.

Although he had realized something, York City still took out the letter paper with trembling hands.

The first sentence above is this:

'This picture is drawn based on the description of Kasumi and Shiranui.'

Chapter 321: Discussing the plan to awaken the ship girl

In the dormitory area of ​​Sakura Empire, inside Yubari's laboratory.

After listening to the plan and suggestions proposed by Yubari and performing simple simulation and modeling through the software on the terminal, Yang Sikang nodded.

"It would be better if it were this way. You are indeed like me, Yubari."

There are many problems with Yang Sikang's pistol, including the stability of continuous firing, the inability to control the energy supply of the Mind Cube component that serves as a magazine, the overflow of the Mind Cube energy, and many minor problems.

These problems have always existed, but because of its excellent performance, they have always been ignored by Yang Sikang.

Rather than spending time studying these two pistols, he prefers to spend his time on the ship girls.

After all, no matter how powerful the two pistols in his hands were when fighting against the Sirens, they were only so powerful, and he still had to rely on the combat effectiveness of the ship girls.

In other situations, just make do with what you have.

But Yubari gave a lot of suggestions in such a short time. Although some of them were idealistic, that was also because Yubari lacked data on the manufacturing materials of Yang Sikang's pistol.

"Although I have proposed this solution, it is not the best option. I have a feeling that it can be further optimized."

Yubari spoke calmly, expressing strong dissatisfaction with these plans.

"No, this is enough. It's good enough to solve the energy supply problem first."

"By the way, the button you used earlier should be the result of collecting the overflowing energy and releasing it, right?"

Yubari asked.

Yang Sikang nodded and explained:

"Because the Mind Cube part of this pistol that is used as energy cannot stop supplying energy, so theoretically this pistol is always in a state of charging. Even if the structure is acceptable, the energy will still overflow to some extent.

Most of it will be converted into bullets when shooting later, but the excess will accumulate in other parts of the gun and cause damage.

So I used a stupid method, which was to control a small structure on the gun through that button every once in a while to release the excess energy. "

"But you used this function to attack me."

"Even with your size and without deploying your ship suit, the impact of that energy on you would only cause you to become paralyzed for less than a second."

Yang Sikang decisively ignored Yu Zhang's complaints. He would not give this seemingly harmless little fox girl, who actually had a quick mind, any chance to take advantage of him.

Sure enough, after hearing what Yang Sikang said, Yu Zhang immediately put away his dissatisfied expression and became lazy again.

"Then I've given you the plan. It's getting late, please go back."

"When did I say I would solve the problem with this pistol and leave?"

Yang Sikang looked at Yubari in surprise.

"I didn't say that!"

Ayanami on the side answered quickly and looked expectantly at the personal terminal in Yang Sikang's hand.

Yang Sikang switched the interface back to the game interface and handed the terminal to Ayanami.

Haha, as a former otaku, even though a hundred years have passed, he still knows what people who like to play games need!

Coke, chips, and fun games!

This three-piece set is very simple, but it is enough for Ayanami to have fun!

Yubari watched Ayanami thank her and continue playing the game, knowing in her heart that she could not count on Ayanami to help her out.

Not only that, Ayanami has obviously sided with Yang Sikang for the sake of the game.

Although what Yang Sikang gave had successfully aroused her interest, but... Yubari was afraid of trouble.

And participating in Yang Sikang's research is obviously a big trouble.

"Okay, so what do you want me to see now?"

"this."

Yang Sikang took out another memory stick like a magic trick, and Yu Zhang plugged it into the computer. The next second, her computer was immediately "protected" by a program.

"It's just a small defense against someone stealing this thing. I don't really trust passwords."

Yang Sikang pressed his finger on the side of the memory, and after a moment the protection program was released and the computer could be used normally.

Yubari opened the file in the memory and looked through it quickly.

Yuzhang memorized groups of data quickly in her mind. She looked at the contents seriously, her hands moving quickly.

Soon, Yubari took a deep breath.

"This, this ship equipment..."

Yubari was a little confused about how to choose words to describe her feelings.

"Based on the Yorktown's ship equipment, this is a plan that I think is more feasible. What do you think?"

"That's a good idea, but... you can't let the Purifier help you again."

As Yubari said before, it is not as simple as just waking up a sunken ship like Yorktown as an Essex-class ship.

The keel and hull must be replaced with Essex-class data, and on this basis, it is necessary to ensure that the data can carry the consciousness of Yorktown while allowing Yorktown to be controlled normally. This is a very precise requirement.

In addition, it is necessary to build the ship equipment belonging to Yorktown.

This ship equipment refers to the outfitting of the ship. Only when all these parts are perfectly balanced can Yorktown be awakened.

This also explains why the energy consumed when building York City is so much greater than ordinary construction - creation is of course much slower and more troublesome than copying and pasting.

The data provided by Yang Sikang is based on Essex-level data integration, especially the results of data analysis from the time York City was awakened to the present.

This is necessary to wake up the Bumblebee.

But as Yuzhang said, there was no way Yang Sikang could get the Purifier to help him again, and he couldn't trick the Siren every time.
