Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

From a data perspective, based on the status previously demonstrated, the Purifier's defense has far exceeded the destructive power that can be caused by the Enterprise's bombing.

And given their high mobility and high lethality, even if they have an advantage in numbers, I'm afraid the battle situation will not be good.

This situation is consistent with Yang Sikang's understanding of the game settings.

After all, it is shown in the background story of the game that, except for the β experimental field where the players are, in general, the battles between ordinary ship girls and Sirens are more losses than wins.

As a high-ranking member of the Siren, the Purifier must be very powerful, even though she has many different strengths. It's just that the players in the game are too strong, so they can beat her like a punching bag.

After several hours of agonizing wait, Enterprise and others finally returned to the port.

Most of the ship girls, including Cleveland, were injured, but fortunately their injuries were not serious, at least they did not lose their ability to move.

Those with more serious injuries were sent directly to the hospital to receive treatment from the Vesta Goddess. After resting for a few hours, Jarvis and Janus also went to the hospital to help the Vesta Goddess.

Yang Sikang came to the office, and as expected, Qiye had simply treated his wound and returned to the office.

"It's you. Why don't you go to the hospital? Cleveland is still there, right?"

"Cleveland was just like you, he just dealt with it briefly and left. So, how are you?"

"Me? Fortunately, the injury is not serious. You know, as long as the mind cube of the ship girl is not damaged, external injuries like this can be recovered slowly by itself. But you don't have to worry, I will find time to treat it after the goddess of the kitchen is done."

"That's good. So what's the battle situation like?"

Speaking of this, Enterprise stopped sorting the documents, looked up and shook his head:

"We could only fight her off. Even though we've already injured her badly, she's too fast and we can't chase her."

Yang Sikang fell silent.

According to his judgment, it was already a very difficult task to severely damage the Purifiers, but he did not expect that Enterprise and the others actually did it.

It's a pity that we couldn't sink the body of the Purifier, but relying on numbers is useless if we want to keep the Purifier.

The Purifier can fly, that's a world of difference.

Moreover, the Purifier arrived at the battlefield too quickly. Unless Enterprise had the ability to shoot it down alone, it would be almost impossible to keep the Purifier.

"It may not be a bad thing to let her escape."

Yang Sikang suddenly spoke up. Enterprise was very surprised by his words and asked:

"Why do you say that?"

"That Siren, have you ever seen it before?"

Enterprise thought about it and shook his head.

Yang Sikang then said:

"That is to say, there is an individual who you have never seen before but is extremely powerful on the Siren side. She is now seriously injured and needs time to recover. And since you have already fought her, you should have a certain judgment of her strength.

But if we sink it in the first encounter, the next time a Siren appears, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it."

Yang Sikang knew that the purpose of the Siren was not simply to destroy the world, but to find a certain method through one "experimental field" after another.

Call it change, evolution, or whatever you call it, but that doesn't mean the Sirens won't destroy the world.

In the Embers camp within the game, many META ship girls were transformed into META after their worlds were destroyed by the Sirens, and were later found by META companies.

This includes the Ark Royale META.

When Siren judges that a test site is "worthless", destroying the test site is basically on the agenda.

This is also the point that Yang Sikang has been most concerned about since he became the commander. Whether it is the selection of the ship girls he built, the planning of the types, or the technologies he tried every means to obtain and try to cash in, the ultimate goal is only one:

Try to avoid attracting the Sirens' attention too early, but at the same time make sure you can quickly attract their attention at critical moments.

Avoiding attention is to buy yourself more time to develop and grow so as to increase the number and quality of your own cards, while quickly attracting the Siren's attention at the critical moment is to at least avoid being directly destroyed by the Siren at the critical moment.

He is not so arrogant as to think that he can fight against the entire Sirens. With his current financial resources, it is impossible to do so even if he uses all the cubes and resources in his hands to build ship girls and replace them with ship equipment.

Not to mention the arbitration agency, he couldn't even deal with the full force of the experimental agency.

But the appearance of the Purifier this time itself seemed a little unreasonable to him, and now Enterprise and the others were actually seriously injured and repelled the Purifier, which was really beyond his expectations.

So, he said that just repelling it instead of sinking it might not be a bad thing, precisely because he felt that there was something wrong with the Purifier.

In fact, he suspected that the Purifier was not controlled by the Purifier itself at all, but was a body of the Purifier controlled by other Sirens.

After all, due to the Purifier's own personality, she feels a bit like a low-level worker in the experimental institution, and the Purifier has a very good relationship with other Sirens, especially... the Observer!

If the observer temporarily called upon the body of a Purifier, he would not be surprised at all.

What's more, this world was already not right. The guy who was suspected to be an observer and who still hadn't figured out what was going on, and who gave him a splitting headache every time, was someone he had never heard of in the game.

After hearing what he said, Enterprise was silent for a while, then he sighed:

"Perhaps you are right. After all, we never thought that a Siren could fight against a dozen of us by himself and even escape."

Enterprise said, then looked at Yang Sikang and said:

"But now that this situation has occurred, I must report it. As for whether the royal family will change the arrangements for the visit, I can't guarantee it. You should be prepared, as the visit may be cancelled."

"I understand that things always have a priority."

He was looking forward to meeting the Royal Family, but he also knew that the sudden appearance of the Purifier was a huge threat. It was understandable that the Royal Family changed the arrangement because of this. Moreover, he had invited others under the name of the company, and he had no right to bargain with the Royal Family.

"but."

The company suddenly changed its tone:

"Based on my past experience with the royal family, I think it is more likely that another scenario will occur."

Qiye didn't finish her words, but Yang Sikang already understood what she meant:

"You mean, the Royal Family might send a stronger force?"

Chapter 118 Discussion in the Hospital

Enterprise's view is very simple and clear: she believes that after the royal family knows about the appearance of the Purifier, not only will they not cancel the original visit schedule, but they may also send stronger combat forces to prepare to fight the Purifier.

Yang Sikang had nothing to say about this. After all, he did not understand the royal style of this world.

However, if the company's speculation is correct, things will be very favorable for him.

"Now that I think about it, the sudden appearance of the Purifiers isn't that bad for me."

While thinking about things, Yang Sikang was doing the physical examination according to Mavis's requirements.

He had just come out of the company's office when he was called directly to the hospital by Mavis.

The physical examination process was the same as usual. After completing the examination step by step, the results were naturally normal.

He did not participate in the battle, but merely stayed on the Javelin's hull and gave orders.

Although he once thought about using the Mind Cube directly and roughly, fortunately, Enterprise arrived in time and he didn't have time to put it into practice.

With the four mind cubes attacking at the same time, he felt that there should be a certain probability of repelling the purifiers. At least, it would allow the purifiers to discover him as an outlier and gain an opportunity.

However, judging from the previous situation, it is a question whether he can survive after using four Rubik's Cubes.

The appearance of the Purifier made him certain of some basic things, but it also gave him a strong sense of crisis.

He had been relatively relaxed because he had heard that there seemed to be no high-level sirens in this world. But the appearance of the Purifier undoubtedly meant that at least the observers had noticed what was happening in this world.

This forced him to think more, but for a moment he didn't know what to do.

If an ordinary ship girl wants to deal with an opponent of the Purifier's level with her combat power, then some changes must be made to the ship's equipment.

Try to find out how the ship suit can exert greater power, or simply... change the ship suit.

"We must figure out the transformation technology as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to resist the Sirens."

Yang Sikang's mumbling was heard by Mavis, and the doctor looked over:

"Are you researching ship modification technology?"

Yang Sikang was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, but there has been no progress so I hope to find some clues from the royal family."

"What do you need?"

Mavis's question stunned Yang Sikang for a moment, but Mavis continued:

"My mother is from the royal family, and no matter what, they can get more data and information than you, right? Although you are very capable, you have been a commander for a long time."

Yang Sikang's eyes lit up and he immediately felt he saw new hope.

What Mavis said was so true. How could he compare to the amount of resources that a couple of commanders who had been commanders for many years and whose daughter was already this grown up could obtain?

Even though he now has the support of enterprises, he is still limited to the scope of a home port. Time brings not only experience, but also rich network resources, which are what he lacks most now.

"I need data, a lot of experimental data. It would be even better if I could get relevant research materials."

"Data, this is relatively simple. But research materials are a bit difficult. I have a question. Do you have a research direction?"

"Correct."

Having said that, Yang Sikang had no intention of hiding anything. If he wanted to get help, he had to show his bargaining chips. If he didn't even have a research direction, how could he get help from others?

"I have my own research plan, but I can't get the data and information needed for the experiment right now. Many of the prototype ships of the shipgirls have been modified in history, so it will be much more convenient to conduct research based on these. I believe that other researchers will definitely start in this direction, so as long as I have the data, the rest of the work will not be difficult for me."

"But this is something that other people need a large team to support development and research. Are you so confident?"

Yang Sikang smiled slightly and said frankly:

“The biggest difference between me and others is that others start research and development from scratch, while I look for differences and then make corrections.”

Mavis looked at him, exhaled and nodded:

"Okay, I'll find the data for you."

"So what do I need to give you?"

"If your research is successful, I hope you can come up with some research results. You should understand that the best way to convince researchers is always to come up with results that exceed their expectations."

"That's no problem, what else?"

"besides……"

Mavis smiled slightly:

"Then keep one request. You owe me one more."

Yang Sikang shrugged and responded with a smile:

"That's totally fine. I already owe you a lot anyway."

If you owe a lot, it won’t be that important if you can’t pay it back in a short time.

Yang Sikang firmly believed that too many lice wouldn't itch, so since Mavis said so, he accepted it.

Just when the two were talking happily, there was a noisy sound coming from outside, as if someone was arguing.

The hospital has good sound insulation, especially the rooms where physical examinations are performed.

Since I can hear it inside, it seems that the noise outside is quite loud.

"It's probably directed at me."

Yang Sikang said calmly, then stood up, took two steps toward the door, stopped, turned to look at Mavis, and asked:

"By the way, is there any room available in the emergency room?"

Mavis frowned and said seriously:

"I'm very tired today and don't want to work overtime."

"Well, the doctor has the final say."

When the door of the inspection room was opened, as expected, outside were the commanders who had lost their ship girls in the attack of the Purifiers. Belfast and others were blocking the door of the inspection room, and these people were cursing at Belfast and others.

Yang Sikang's face suddenly darkened, and when those people saw Yang Sikang coming out, they rushed over aggressively as if their anger had found an outlet.

Yang Sikang not only did not retreat, but stretched out his hand to block Belfast, and then...

boom! !

A dull sound was heard, and the strong white man in front of him covered his stomach and curled up like a cooked shrimp.

His face flushed red and he opened his mouth but no sound came out.

The others immediately started cursing, but Yang Sikang would not tolerate them at all.
