Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"No problem, Master."

"Okay, then you two can discuss the details. Also, I'd like you to handle the communication matters, is that okay?"

"Of course, it is an honor for Shangri-La to share your worries."

Yang Sikang turned and looked at Wuwei:

“Fearless, I hope you can train with Essex in the near future.

The specific training plan will be arranged according to the training plan in Essex first, and then modified according to the situation.

But throughout the process, I hope to collect data on your exercises and combat."

"I have no problem fighting! Please let me fight, Commander!"

Wuwei was a bit of a war maniac, so she readily agreed to the data collection.

Yang Sikang's arrangements for her were not simply intended to make her grow faster.

Shangri-La will also participate in the training, but after all, clerical work must be handled now.

But on the one hand, Dreadnought personally prefers fighting, and on the other hand, she happens to be the third ship of the Essex class.

This position is very interesting, because the second ship of the Essex class is Yorktown II, and the fourth ship is Hornet II.

As mentioned before, the Essex-class ship equipment was gradually modified, which resulted in no two Essex-class ship girls being exactly the same.

Now that Essex has collected a lot of data, coupled with Fearless, there is hope that we can build a general idea of ​​the direction of change.

This could provide very important and valuable data for his attempt to study Type II ship equipment.

Chapter 128: Hairpin of Shangri-La

The arrival of Fearless and Shangri-La has sparked a new round of discussion in the port area.

However, unlike in the past when people discussed more about Yang Sikang as a person, this time most people were discussing the issue of Kancolle.

Essex-class aircraft carrier, this name is very famous in White Eagle.

However, most people are unwilling to build aircraft carriers during their rookie period. Now, the firepower advantage of Yang Sikang's fleet, including three regular cruisers, one light cruiser, and two battlecruisers, makes other rookie commanders see something different from the past.

The improvement in combat effectiveness brought by the main battleships has attracted much attention from commanders who are now facing new threats from the Sirens.

However, the number of mind cubes of new commanders is limited. The main reason why most people prefer light construction in the past is that construction is basically equivalent to a lottery. Light construction with one cube for one construction opportunity is more popular than heavy construction with two cubes for one construction opportunity.

As for the special construction machines, no one is willing to touch them because of their obvious side effects.

However, after Yang Sikang built the Fearless and Shangri-La, the number of people engaged in special construction reached 21 in just two days, and among them... 2 people successfully built them.

But that still means two guys managed to build a carrier, even though they both built Raiders for some reason.

But it is an aircraft carrier after all!

The advantages of carrier-based aircraft were quickly spread by these two people, and because they were not as eccentric as Yang Sikang, other commanders were also happy to communicate with them.

Under the continuous bombardment of sugar-coated bullets, the two men quickly passed on their "secrets".

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Yang Sikang.

After the construction was completed, Yang Sikang and a group of people went directly to the port as planned.

The location they reserved was none other than the island he had applied to use for the exercise last time.

There was no one there. When I used it not long ago, I found that the facilities there were still intact and the distance was suitable.

The most important thing is that because there has been no human activity for a long time, wild animals and plants are thriving. This is a rare and wonderful place.

Most of the things they carried were tools, and only a part of the food was taken.

The last experience made Yang Sikang convinced that if the ship girls took action, they would definitely be able to catch the prey.

When we arrived, the place was a little dusty because it hadn't been used for a while, but the maids were already prepared to clean it.

One side is preparing the ingredients, one side is preparing the tools and cleaning the site, and the other side is responsible for going out to search for wild ingredients.

The task of finding prey was undertaken by the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier. At the suggestion of Fearless, the three Essex-class fighters also competed to see who could find more prey as the victory condition.

Each person uses two reconnaissance planes for reconnaissance, and the hunting and killing work is done by reputation, counterattack and javelin.

This requires not only finding the prey, but also guiding others to encounter the prey. Hunting is not a problem, but in terms of communication, the outcome has already been determined.

Essex won the victory as expected, but what surprised Yang Sikang was that Shangri-La's score in this small competition was only slightly lower than Essex's.

If Essex hadn’t had a better understanding with the others, Shangri-La might have won.

"Shangri-La's communication was very concise and efficient, and her reconnaissance aircraft was constantly optimizing its route during the search."

Newcastle and Yang Sikang sat side by side on the bench, watching the entire process of the Essex-level three-person match.

Newcastle turned to look at Yang Sikang and whispered:

"Shangri-La seems to be a very suitable person to be a secretary, but Belfast will not give in in this regard, so you have to be careful."

"Why do I feel like you just want to watch the fun?"

Yang Sikang looked at Newcastle with a smile, but Newcastle just shook his head:

"I didn't think so. I just said something you need to consider."

"In that case, I do have a solution. Would you like to hear it?"

"Oh? I'd like to hear more details~"

Newcastle was very interested, but Yang Sikang looked at her and said with a wicked smile:

"Then let the former head maid take on this difficult position, and let Shangri-La and Belfast assist her. What do you think?"

"Wow, you are really mean."

Newcastle showed an aggrieved expression and wiped away tears that didn't exist at all.

“They won’t actually fight.”

Yang Sikang then answered seriously:

"Shangri-La is more like a secretary, and Belfast is the head maid. Their positions are not exactly the same, and they are the ship girls of my fleet."

Newcastle looked over, and Yang Sikang smiled and said:

"My fleet will not only have the ship girls of one faction, nor will it only have the White Eagles and the Royal Family."

"Is that so? That means it's the same in Zhenhai~"

Yang Sikang nodded. He knew that it was not only Newcastle who wanted to know, but others also wanted to know. Now that the royal visit was imminent, all the preparations he had to make had been completed. Next, he would continue his work and wait for the arrival of the royal fleet.

Therefore, there is no need to hide some things from others.

"I tried to communicate with the ship girls of other factions, but I couldn't communicate with the ship girls of Sakura Empire and Eastern Empire. I guess they must have done something special to cause this result, so I have to find a way to solve this problem."

"You're going on a visit?"

"Yes."

Yang Sikang laughed:

"Besides, the research I am doing now is getting more and more complex, and the difficulty will become higher and higher in the future. I know a lot, but in terms of technology, I am really not at the top level. No matter from which aspect, visiting abroad is inevitable, and I need talents."

"But the Sakura Empire has already sided with the Red Axis."

"As long as the two sides are not at war, there is always a way to do something."

Newcastle opened his eyes wide in surprise:

"Do you mean to..."

"Yes, it's what you think."

Yang Sikang smiled happily, but he had already made plans in his mind.

The Azur Lane and the Red Axis are indeed in a hostile state, but what does this have to do with him? Although the relationship between the two camps is not good, after all, their ultimate goals are the same.

If it is not convenient for you to find a reason to go, then let the other party invite them themselves.

As for the three Essex sisters, under the instigation of fearlessness, Shangri-La finally opened the gift bag in front of everyone else.

Inside are three transparent cylinders in a group, each containing a lifelike butterfly specimen.

“That’s right, Newcastle.”

Yang Sikang looked at Shangri-La and suddenly said:

“Do you know where the Shangri-La hairpin came from?”

Chapter 129 The Rubik's Cube Weapon is First Made

Time quickly came to the end of March, and there was less than a week left until the royal family's scheduled visit.

Yang Sikang's research was progressing steadily, and Shangri-La also successfully took over part of Belfast's work during this period.

The current situation is that Belfast is following Yang Sikang, and the task of auxiliary enterprises is handed over to Shangri-La.

On the one hand, Shangri-La herself is the White Eagle ship girl, and she is calm enough to handle a lot of administrative work and is suitable for appearing in public with the company.

On the other hand, Shangri-La's current strength still has a lot of room for improvement, and if she goes to help the enterprise, the benefits will be relatively better.

The third, incidental benefit comes from investigation.

After all, Shangri-La is an aircraft carrier, and the office building has the best view of the entire home port. No matter what emergencies there are, Shangri-La's carrier-based aircraft can ensure that they arrive at the scene at the fastest speed. This means that Yang Sikang will receive the news very quickly.

Of course, unlike when Belfast was asked to help the business, Shangri-La only went to help during working hours and stayed at the villa the rest of the time.

Essex, a good student who had just 'graduated', was responsible for training and sparring for Fearless while working in Shangri-La and the company.

One of the sisters is obsessed with surpassing the Enterprise, while the other is a war maniac who can fight until all the carrier-based aircraft are exhausted.

This situation happened twice in a row, and Yang Sikang had to send maids to supervise them to prevent them from being exhausted all the time.

One surprising thing is that the MK6 made of his new materials is almost completed and is expected to be completed within a few days of the arrival of the Royal Fleet.

The patent issue was completed very smoothly. Because the home port was pushing it from behind, the matter went on very quickly, skipping a lot of redundant procedures. It basically passed with a green light and no inspection.

In terms of manufacturing, Yang Sikang took the initiative to provide a batch of brand new equipment to the home port.

These devices were purchased and modified from general-purpose equipment on the market, and the core modification part was made into a complete black box by Yang Sikang.

Any attempt to open, analyze or scan it will destroy it, and Yang Sikang has directly monopolized the technology for manufacturing this core.

Want to know? Sorry, no!

There is a saying that goes, for every policy from the top, there is a countermeasure from the bottom. When it comes to how to copy and plagiarize, Yang Sikang, who was born in Donghuang, knows everything about it.

He knew very well that in the face of huge interests, conventional means would not be able to prevent others from plagiarizing him, so he chose a dangerous method.

However, he also has reasons to explain his monopoly: this thing is extremely difficult to make, and once it is illegally damaged, the energy in it may affect the life safety of ordinary people. Therefore, before he figures out how to eliminate the risk, this thing will be destroyed safely before it is damaged.

You see, a suitable reason has emerged. As to whether this reason is valid or not, that is up to him to decide.

I am the only one who knows the structure inside. I said this thing is very dangerous. Do you disagree? It’s okay if you disagree. I will give you one. You can try to dismantle it yourself in a place where no one is around.

What? You said applying for a patent? Sorry, the technology is not mature yet and I don't plan to apply now.

You said to publish the structure so that everyone can brainstorm and work together to find a solution?

That won’t work. This is my achievement. I haven’t even applied for a patent yet. What should I do if you steal it from me?

So, even though all parties were dissatisfied with his monopolistic behavior, in reality no one came to the fore, and it was just a lot of noise with little results.

After all, this thing is not in mass production at all, and those who shout loudly cannot get it. The only place with these machines is this home port, and whether it is a monopoly or not has not hurt their actual interests, so they are naturally unwilling to turn against Yang Sikang.

But what they didn't know was that while they thought they were bargaining with Yang Sikang, it was actually Shangri-La that was handling these matters.

As for Yang Sikang? He had arranged all the follow-up measures before doing these things and handed them over to Shangri-La in advance.

He intended to play rogue with these people from the very beginning, so even Shangri-La actually dealt with them very perfunctorily.

During these days, with the help of that huge machine, after consuming more than a dozen boxes of fuel, Yang Sikang got what he expected - two pistols.

The shape of the gun is based on the appearance of a Glock 17 with a silencer. The gun is painted black and a strange pattern is etched on the handle.

The magazine is removable, but it does not use ordinary ammunition, and its internal structure is actually completely different from that of an ordinary pistol.

Inside the magazine shell is a processed mind cube. This pistol is essentially an energy weapon with the function of a mind cube. The large silencer is actually a collector that gathers the energy.

Therefore, this thing has almost no recoil when used, and the choke can ensure that the pistol can maintain stable and effective lethality within 300 meters, without having to consider the problem of bullet deflection caused by ballistic drop and warhead collision.
