Azur Lane, I really didn’t lose my memory!

This inevitably makes people wonder what is so special about this Sea Soul Camouflage that makes people give up high-performance steering gear and maintenance teams to choose it?

Soon, Lu Xiuyuan's doubts were answered.

After Xiao Beifa took out the blue and white sea soul camouflage, it seemed as if some chemical reaction was triggered. The sea soul camouflage changed color quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The blue and white stripes instantly turned into the same warm yellow as the wallpaper in the room. Xiao Beifa, who was holding the sea soul camouflage, also covered half of his body under the color change of the sea soul camouflage. At first glance, it seemed as if he had disappeared.

Lu Xiuyuan suddenly realized the importance of the sea soul camouflage! As long as you put on this sea soul camouflage, it will be difficult for the enemy to find you when you are sailing on the sea, so you can launch various combat operations.

"Commander, you've figured it out, right? The Sea Soul camouflage can improve the concealment of the ship girl, which is quite useful."

Baltimore explained: "Although the vision level of the ship girl is far superior to that of humans, even the slightest changes in the environment can be detected, but that must be done at close range."

"If the distance is farther, for example, if the ship is covered with Sea Soul camouflage at a distance of six or seven kilometers or even farther, then if the enemy does not actively fire to expose its position and the enemy ship does not use radar or hydrophone, it will be difficult for the enemy to detect it with the naked eye in this case."

"Especially the destroyers. Since most of them are little girls with small bodies, after wearing the Sea Spirit camouflage, they are more difficult for the enemy to detect than the tall big sister battleships."

Baltimore's words made Lu Xiuyuan suddenly see the light!

I said why it sounded so familiar.

This...this...isn't this the way to fight in Wowoshi?

In that case, I can take back what I said to Lafei before, that I have no command ability at all.

Lu Xiuyuan thought, after all, he had played WoWoShi for a while, so he still knew a little bit of theoretical tactical skills.

However, although this is what he said, it may not be completely true in practice. But fortunately, this at least provides Lu Xiuyuan with a way of thinking, preventing him from being completely clueless when conducting exercises.

clap clap.

Lu Xiuyuan applauded: "Baltimore said it very well, does anyone have anything else to add?"

"Then I have something to add."

Xin Tiao Qian took the initiative for a while and said, "Commander, in addition to the key points Baltimore mentioned, our team also has a very serious problem."

"what is the problem?"

"We are short of equipment, very short of equipment." Xin Tiao Qian said, "Except for Anchorage, whose equipment is still good, the equipment of others has not been updated for a long time. For example, Miss Nagashima is still using the purple F4F Seacat fighter from a long time ago. This fighter was strong enough in the past, but now it is completely out of date."

Most of the old veterans in the port area have reached the maximum level early. And reaching the maximum level early has another meaning - early warehouse management, the equipment on the body has not been updated for many years.

Shinjo Akane continued, "Also, Ai-chan's equipment must also be replenished. She currently only has equipment for a heavy cruiser. If you, Commander, expect her to be able to soul-change ship types during the competition, you will have to equip her with a separate set of equipment for a battleship, aircraft carrier, and destroyer."

"That's not a problem. We'll go to the equipment warehouse later. You can take any equipment you like. It's no problem to take a few extra pieces as backup."

The issue of equipment is not really a problem for Lu Xiuyuan.

This should be the biggest and only advantage of Team Lafite compared to other teams.

They have commanders.

The only people who have the authority to mobilize the port equipment warehouse are the secretary ship and the commander.

Now is the time to prepare for the war exercise, and all the ship girls participating in the exercise hope to become stronger so that the possibility of winning will be greater.

However, everyone's own strength has almost been fixed, and it is difficult to improve it in a short period of time. The only way to enhance strength now is to replace more powerful equipment.

There are two ways to replace equipment. One is to borrow equipment from other ship girls. However, everyone is preparing for war now, and no one wants to lend out their powerful equipment.

The second method is to apply from the port equipment warehouse, but this is also fraught with difficulties. The office would never approve it, otherwise Kewei wouldn't have had to trick Lu Xiuyuan into giving her such a convenient way last time.

This problem is not a problem for Lu Xiuyuan and the Lafei team. As the commander, Lu Xiuyuan has the highest authority in the port area. He can take any equipment he wants without the approval of the office.

However, not all the top-level equipment are in the warehouse. Top-level equipment such as the 460 cannon MK7 have already been equipped by the original owner, and there is no such thing in the warehouse.

Fortunately, there are no 460 guns and MK7s, but at least there are enough fully enhanced MK6s and Hellcats.

153-I am very sensitive and can easily feel

To replenish and update the equipment of team members.

Soon after, led by Lu Xiuyuan, a group of people headed straight to the equipment warehouse in the port area.

The warehouse manager in the port area is Shiranui, and Akashi will come to help when he is free. Today, coincidentally, both of them are in the warehouse.

After Lu Xiuyuan stated his purpose, the group easily obtained permission to enter the warehouse.

The equipment warehouse in the port area is located underground. It is a pure white room with aisles on both sides that have been hollowed out to make display cabinets. Various equipment are placed in the cabinets for people to choose from.

After everyone was promised that they could freely choose equipment, everyone excitedly rushed into various areas of the warehouse to look for equipment that suited them.

"Wow! It's a twin-mounted 457 color cannon! This is mine!"

"Hey, there's actually one Tianlei carrier-based aircraft left. Great! I've wanted to try this carrier-based aircraft for a long time!"

"There are so many Type 93 pure oxygen torpedoes that they look like baguettes. It should be okay for me to take a few more, right?"

"This is the only main gun we have. As for the secondary gun... wouldn't it be a bit too extravagant to use the Triumph Gun? How about we switch to the Jin Gaoping?"

Lu Xiuyuan stood at the door, leaning against the wall and watching the girls choosing their equipment inside. He was very generous for once:

"Take it, take whatever you want, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite."

"I'm telling you, the pirate squadron is used for Kamikaze! The Triumph Cannon is used as a secondary gun! Well... Baltimore, put down the Jin Gaoping in your hand. Why do you need Jin Gaoping when you have the Triumph Cannon? You are not allowed to be frugal today!"

The members of Rafi's team were rummaging through boxes and cabinets for equipment. Before they could even warm up the BTD-1 Destroyer in their hands, they set their eyes on McCluskey over there. Before they could even move their legs to grab McCluskey, they threw away the BTD-1 Destroyer and ran to grab the XTB2D-1 Sky Pirate.

Akashi hurriedly followed these little ancestors and reorganized the equipment that they didn't like.

"Slow down, everyone, slow down, don't damage the equipment!"

Although the equipment would not break so easily, and although the owner of the equipment here was not her, Mingshi, but Lu Xiuyuan.

But little Akashi was like a giant dragon guarding wealth, and he equipped the warehouse more carefully than anyone else.

"Mingshi, come here." Lu Xiuyuan suddenly cared about what Zhenhai had told him to be careful of Mingshi, so he waved and called Mingshi over.

"What is it, Commander?"

Hearing Lu Xiuyuan's voice, Mingshi trotted over with a pile of equipment he had just picked up in his arms.

"Let me ask you... have you done or are you planning to do anything bad recently?"

When Lu Xiuyuan looked at Mingshi suspiciously, Mingshi subconsciously shuddered. He mechanically turned his neck and looked away: "How, how is it possible, meow~ Ah, how, how could Cassie do something wrong, meow~"

stare--

Lu Xiuyuan crossed her arms across her chest and just stared at Mingshi quietly. The latter's expression was obviously inconsistent with what she said.

After a while, Lu Xiuyuan put his arm down: "Forget it, since Mingshi said no, then no."

Such a long time has passed, but Akashi is still unwilling to answer. I guess he has his own reasons?

Lu Xiuyuan thought, after all, Akashi is his ship girl, and also his wedding ship. Although she is a little greedy, she will never harm him. Since Akashi is unwilling to say it, he will not force it.

Lu Xiuyuan walked to the display case closest to him.

Under the glass window of the exhibition cabinet, lies a model-sized F8F Panda carrier-based aircraft.

The equipment of the ship girls are all scaled-down versions of the original equipment in reality. Although their size is reduced, their power is not inferior to the original equipment, and may even be more powerful than it.

When Lu Xiuyuan saw the F8F Bearcat fighter, an inexplicable urge prompted him to touch the fuselage and wings of the F8F Bearcat.

Lu Xiuyuan thought, this was probably because he had become a ship man, so he developed an inexplicable familiarity with the ship's uniforms and equipment?

"Commander, are you interested in this carrier-based aircraft?"

Akashi trotted behind Lu Xiuyuan. She already knew that the commander had become a ship captain.

"I have a very strange feeling, as if this carrier-based aircraft originally belonged to me." Lu Xiuyuan murmured.

"It's a normal phenomenon. Since you, Commander, can react to carrier-based aircraft, it means you should be able to adapt to aircraft carrier uniforms." Akashi said, "Then I will help you make a set of aircraft carrier uniforms."

Different ship girls have different adaptability to ship equipment. To put it in the words of the game, the weapon efficiency of each ship girl is different.

Therefore, the same piece of equipment looks completely different in the hands of different ship girls.

Take the battleship's main gun as an example. For the same main gun equipment, a single shot from a highly adaptable ship girl could create a nuclear mushroom cloud.

The one with low adaptability may be the small mountain cannon. Of course, the example of the small mountain cannon is too extreme. If the ship can really fire the effect of the small mountain cannon, it can only mean that this ship girl may not be adaptable to become a battleship at all.

"The fact that it can respond to carrier-based aircraft means it can carry aircraft carriers..."

Lu Xiuyuan was silent for a while. He crossed his arms and looked down at Mingshi, who was two heads shorter than him. To be more precise, he looked at the pile of various equipment in Mingshi's arms: "Um... that, Mingshi... to be honest, I seem to have feelings for all the equipment in your arms..."

"Meow!!?"

Akashi almost dropped her jaw in shock. She looked down at the equipment in her arms, which included naval guns, carrier-based aircraft, and torpedo tubes. She then looked up at Lu Xiuyuan with an expression of disbelief: "Commander, you have a sense of all these..."

"Uh... about the same. Maybe it's because I'm a sensitive person and I get feelings easily."

"Um..." Akashi didn't know what to say for a moment, he wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and said, "Then I will make a ship outfit for you according to the aviation battleship with torpedo tubes, meow. But I want to know how well you can adapt to the ship outfit and how much power you can exert. We have to wait until you put it on the ship and test it."

Lu Xiuyuan waved his hand and said to Mingshi, "Just do it as you see fit." Anyway, his purpose was not to go to the battlefield, so he didn't need such a strong combat capability. It might be more important to have stronger functionality.

But it’s hard to say, after all, “that battlefield” is also a battlefield.

An hour later, members of the Rafi team gathered at the door.

Everyone gathered at the door with various equipment in their arms, feeling satisfied.

Lu Xiuyuan took a quick check and found that the equipment were all very powerful. Even if they were not top-notch, they were at least quasi-first-class, and several levels better than their original equipment.

"Did you get the little beaver?"

Lu Xiuyuan confirmed one last time that this exercise was not the "forced self-discipline exercise" in the game, but one that could be "manually performed."

It is said that the only way to defeat all martial arts is to be faster. The importance of the Beaver Squadron badge, which can increase the speed of the entire team by 20%, is self-evident.

"I got it, teacher." Anchorage grabbed a golden badge with both hands and held it high to show Lu Xiuyuan.

"What about Pearl Tears?"

"Commander, where is the Pearl Tears in Juno? It's not in the warehouse." Someone replied.

"Anti-submarine Hedgehog bomb?"

"Have."

"Catalina seaplane?"

"I also took one in case of emergency."

"What about the improved boiler?"

"Also..." Baltimore paused and asked in confusion, "Commander, what are we going to do with the boiler..."

Baltimore knew that the commander had lost his memory and had lost his former strong combat command ability, so he didn't know much about what was happening on the exercise ground.

She wanted to remind the commander that it was not very useful to bring a boiler, but she was worried that if she refuted the commander on the spot, it would make the commander lose face. She heard Bremerton say that men are the most important to have face, and she must not let the commander lose face.

Thinking like this, Baltimore pulled Lu Xiuyuan aside and whispered, "Commander, we won't use boilers during exercises. Boilers don't increase the speed much and can only increase the speed of one person..."

"Generally speaking, if you really need to increase the speed, a small beaver that can increase the speed of the entire team is enough."

"Everyone only has two equipment slots, and one of them is almost bound to the Sea Soul camouflage. In this case, if the only equipment slot under you is used to equip the boiler, then powerful equipment such as the Type 91 armor-piercing projectile and high-performance fire control radar cannot be installed."

"Is that so..." Lu Xiuyuan said slowly.

What Baltimore said makes sense. Equipment slots are quite precious. Although speed is a very important attribute, having all the equipment filled with speed is not necessarily a good thing.

Besides, Rafi's team also has Little Beaver.

The biggest role of the Little Beaver is not only to increase the speed of the entire team, but also has another extremely important role.

That means I have no one!

There is only one Little Beaver Squadron badge in the entire Hong Kong area.

As long as there is a ship girl in your team equipped with a Sea Beaver, then if other teams want to catch up in speed, everyone in the team must equip an Improved Boiler and waste equipment slots.

But Lu Xiuyuan still has a problem.

"Baltimore, is this really the case with the improved boiler?" Lu Xiuyuan asked, "Besides increasing the speed, what other functions does it have?"

"In addition to increasing the speed, it can also increase the durability of the ship's equipment. Oh, right!" Baltimore suddenly remembered and said, "Improving the boiler can also reduce the time it takes to reach the maximum speed!"

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had grasped the key point: "Tell me in detail."

"For example, my maximum speed is 33 knots, but I think it's not a one-shot process to increase the speed from zero to the maximum speed. It takes a while to gradually increase the speed to the maximum speed. After equipping the improved boiler, the time required to increase the speed to the maximum speed will be greatly reduced."

"Do you mean it can reduce the starting time?" Lu Xiuyuan asked.

"Yes, that's what I mean. Different warships take different amounts of time to get from zero speed to full speed. Generally speaking, larger warships take more time to get started, and improved boilers can greatly reduce the time it takes to get started."

"I understand..." Lu Xiuyuan pinched his chin, "Then, Baltimore, you let all the ship girls except the aircraft carriers carry an improved boiler."

"Ah? Why?" Baltimore was puzzled. I have explained it so clearly, do you still want to take this commander with you?
