Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

In the first few days after this public opinion emerged, Hermann was even more excited than himself.

This is even more so now. With a little operation on Yang Sikang's part, he has gained the upper hand. How difficult is it to have the upper hand?

But after that, what Yang Sikang didn't expect was that Andy actually conducted follow-up reports.

Well, it can’t be said to be a follow-up. She just published a short report saying that she tried to interview Yang Sikang again, but he politely refused on the grounds that he was busy training to deal with the threat of the new Sirens.

The short article even described in detail Yang Sikang's expression, changes in attitude and other details, to the point that he himself began to doubt whether he had really met this Andy again?

Did I lose my memory?!

The article is very short and does not mention the current public opinion incident at all, but everything is afraid of comparison.

The image of him being busy training to deal with danger was established, and immediately someone found out the current situation of those who spread the rumors. The difference was obvious in the comparison.

But trouble followed. Seeing that some people were reaping the benefits, other reporters swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

What can he do? Of course he rejects them all!

The person in charge of this matter is Sheffield, and this task was assigned to her by Belfast.

Of course, the so-called handling also means persuading them to go back, not killing them.

"Let's deal with it, but this time just give them some information. Just say... we are testing a new training interview in practice and will not accept any interviews."

Belfast immediately understood his intention and replied with a smile:

"I understand, Master."

Not only was I busy training to deal with new enemies while those people were slandering me, I was even researching better training methods.

When this image is put here, the word "invincible" is basically written directly on the forehead.

It seems like nothing has been done, but such information is much more meaningful than those boring repetitive interviews. I believe those reporters will go back satisfied.

Thinking of this, Yang Sikang couldn't help but laugh:

"Now that the image is established, things will be easier from now on, right?"

On the other side, Enterprise and Cleveland were chatting in the office.

Although Yang Sikang did not participate in the patrol, he gave a lot of opinions and suggestions to other commanders. On this basis, the number of patrol boats was increased and the manpower was redistributed. With the arrival of the people sent by the headquarters, things gradually became stable.

Finally, the two of them were not so busy anymore, and Yang Sikang also sent Sheffield to take over the task of dealing with those troublesome reporters. Now the two of them had the leisure to chat in the office.

"Come to think of it, Essex and Independence haven't come to see you these past few days. Have they reached a level where they don't need your guidance every time?"

Cleveland suddenly asked, Enterprise nodded, and said under Cleveland's surprised gaze:

"Yang Sikang asked me to work with him to develop a training plan for them a few days ago. After discussing it, I felt that his opinions were very valuable. Therefore, some changes were made to the training plan.

Basically, it is enough to give them guidance twice a week now.”

"Oh~ a new training program. One that can be universally adopted?"

"Okay, but we have to wait until he practices it and confirms the effect."

Enterprise laughed at this:

"That guy has a lot of ideas, and it's a lot less burdensome for the people in charge of training."

"Hmm~"

Enterprise looked at Cleveland and smiled:

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? You don't need special training anymore, right?"

"That's true, but wouldn't it be great if there was a better training plan?"

"that is it?"

Cleveland felt a little embarrassed when being looked at by the enterprise. He pulled his shawl, turned his head and whispered:

"During a previous chat, he asked if there were any other Cleveland-class members in our previous fleet besides Columbia and me."

The enterprise thought about it and nodded:

"Okay, then I'll tell the guy from my family to include Columbia in the next batch of support."

Chapter 123 New Materials Developed Successfully

Before it happened, no one thought it would become such a sensation.

As the situation escalated, many previous events were dug up.

Even though Hermann has stopped, the wave has already been set, and many things are beyond his control.

And Yang Sikang, as the core figure of the incident, once again stood at the center of the storm.

The exposure of several previous incidents caused a lot of discussion in society about him, with mixed opinions.

Yang Sikang still maintains his previous style, refusing to accept any interviews and making no comments on these public opinion issues.

He knew that although there were many people who supported his previous actions, there were also many who disagreed. Once he expressed his opinion, those who supported him would stand up, and those who opposed him would become more aggressive.

There's no need for him to get involved with those people now.

As the date of the royal family's original visit approached, the royal side finally responded to White Eagle.

As the company expected, the Royal Navy not only did not cancel the original visit plan, but also dispatched more fleets, including a visiting team headed by the Queen Elizabeth to the White Eagle headquarters.

The core personnel who came to this home port were still the Glory of Record and the Prince of Wales, but the corresponding fleet size had increased a lot compared to before.

The White Eagles have no shortage of mass-produced models. Even if the White Eagle Navy does not get along with Azur Lane, it will never be stupid enough to cause trouble for Azur Lane in manufacturing. Those politicians will never allow such a thing that threatens their safety to happen.

Therefore, the Royal Fleet was mainly composed of ship girls, and only brought a small number of mass-produced ships.

After confirming these situations, Yang Sikang once again accelerated his research.

He began to give up most of his rest time, and spent almost the entire day at the machines in the basement and in the laboratory.

The daily rest time was shortened to three hours. Jarvis and Janus had protested more than once and tried to persuade him to have a good rest.

But Yang Sikang rejected all of them and remained busy until mid-March.

After even Mavis had come several times, a wild laugh was heard in the basement of Villa No. 72 in the early hours of the morning one day.

"Done! Done! Hahahaha! Success!"

Yang Sikang was ecstatic holding a brand new metal plate.

The circles around his eyes were a little dark and the whites of his eyes were slightly red, but fortunately, with the care of Jarvis and the maids, and the deep sleep method he had practiced before, his body did not collapse.

But at this moment he still looked a little crazy. The excitement in his eyes and his obvious lack of sleep made him look a bit like a ghost in a horror movie.

This metal plate is about one square meter and ten centimeters thick. The surface looks very smooth at first glance, but there is a slight friction when you touch it. The refractive index of light is not high, but it is not to the level of no refraction.

The entire piece of metal is a color between purple and black, and is darker.

It felt heavy in the hand, but it was far from being as heavy as Sirius's greatsword.

Of course, this is also because it is just a piece of plate now and is not charged at all.

The wild laughter soon attracted the sound of footsteps. Belfast, who was waiting upstairs, hurried down, followed by Janus, who looked worried.

"Owner?"

"Befa, you're here just in time, take a look at this!"

Belfast's steps paused slightly, but he immediately returned to normal.

Yang Sikang, who was in high spirits, did not notice Belfast's sudden change in expression at all, and continued to talk to himself:

"Finally, after failing so many times, I finally found the right way. It seems that not only the different ways of interfering with the Mind Cube will lead to different results, but also the requirements for the materials themselves are very high. Unfortunately, I don't have stock of several other composite materials now, otherwise... otherwise..."

Belfast, who had just taken the plate, widened his eyes, quickly put the materials into the ship's space, and supported the staggering Yang Sikang.

"I, I'll go up and prepare the nutrient solution!"

Janus ran over quickly, and Belfast helped Yang Sikang sit down beside him, letting him lean on him, and carefully rubbed his temples with both hands.

Because of the long hours of high-intensity work, coupled with his overexcitement, the moment he relaxed, the fatigue came over him all at once.

It was as if the body was hollowed out in an instant, and the whole person became very heavy all of a sudden, as if the body was no longer under his control.

After sitting for a few minutes and feeling a little better, Belfast took Yang Sikang back upstairs.

Janus had already prepared everything. After letting Yang Sikang lie on the soft bed and infusing him with nutrient solution, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"The master has been working really hard these days."

"There is nothing wrong with the commander's physical examination. He is just too tired and needs to rest well."

Janus spoke timidly as he checked the values ​​on the instruments, holding a notebook in his hand to record some important data.

She and Jarvis now take turns to take care of Yang Sikang with the maids. Other people will also come during the day, and at night, in order not to disturb Yang Sikang's work, there are basically 2-3 people staying here.

Sheffield was originally here today, but because of some trivial matters, Belfast asked her to deal with it, so only Belfast and Janus were left.

Seeing that Yang Sikang's breathing had stabilized and he had fallen asleep, Belfast left Janus to look after Yang Sikang for the time being, and he went to the machine in the basement.

After use, this machine cannot be kept running all the time. On the one hand, long-term standby may have a bad effect on the machine, and on the other hand, just turning it on will consume a lot of electricity and other energy.

Before shutting down the machine, she needs to record its status and deal with any problems that may cause trouble, especially to ensure the cleanliness of the manufacturing area.

While processing the information, Belfast was surprised to find that there was an item of "unknown material" in the list of materials that had never been recorded and had no number.

"Unknown material, 50g?"

During the month-long research, Yang Sikang basically recorded the formulas of the composite materials and metals that he made.

However, this unknown material description had never been entered into the machine before, and had not even been named.

This does not conform to Yang Sikang's working habits, and the amount is indeed a bit strange.

For a board like this, what can a mere 50g of material do?

But she was not unfamiliar with the formula of this material. She had conducted as many as 12 experiments on this material that Yang Sikang had high hopes for, and all of them ended in failure without exception.

If we were to say where the variable lies, it would only be these 50 grams of unknown material.

She didn't wonder what the so-called unknown material was. If Yang Sikang wanted her to know, she would know after he woke up. But if he didn't want her to know, she wouldn't be curious and ask.

Pack up the machine, make sure all parts are in good working order, and then shut it down.

After cleaning up, Belfast finally came out.

Thinking of Yang Sikang’s previous reaction, the head maid couldn’t help but smile.

Yang Sikang has always called his ship girls by their full names, and has never used nicknames to address her or anyone else.

Belfast knew that Yang Sikang cared about him and others, but in the process of getting along with each other, there always seemed to be an unbreakable barrier between them.

Even though he knew that Yang Sikang had only used the nickname because he was too excited, Belfast couldn't help but feel a little... secretly happy.

Chapter 124 Methods of Controlling Materials

Yang Sikang slept for a whole day, and only woke up slowly at noon the next day after he fell into a coma.

After waking up, his body, which had become increasingly heavy during this period, suddenly felt light. After washing up, Yang Sikang quickly regained consciousness.

Having returned to his normal state after a long absence, he now seems particularly energetic.

He took the successful board to the laboratory and conducted a series of analyses.

What is surprising but also reasonable is that the test results show that the material itself has a new type of unrecognizable material, and further analysis is difficult unless it is destroyed to obtain fragments.

This is exactly in line with Yang Sikang's expectations, and more importantly, testing has confirmed that this plate has indeed developed properties similar to those of ship equipment.

"Take it back and do detailed testing."

Yang Sikang made a decisive decision.

Now, only he and Belfast know the specific formula of this thing, but on the one hand, the formula of this material is based on his previous research results and the results of continuous attempts to make changes according to the characteristics of the Mind Cube.

Although it took a lot of time, it deepened his understanding of the Mind Cube, and it would be easy to mass produce it in the future.

On the other hand, this material has only been successfully used to make it into a ship.

How to use the Mind Cube to create ship equipment based on this material is something that only Azur Lane knows.

If he was not in a hurry now, he could just think of ways to obtain or try the relevant production methods himself, but with the shadow of the Purifier looming over his head at any time, how could he have these ideas?

It is more important than anything else to turn this achievement into actual combat power as soon as possible!
