Elder brother's garrison

This plan to get intimate with the Admiral at night has now completely fallen through...

Strictly speaking, Changchun is a very active and outgoing girl. She can chat quite warmly with most of the ship girls in the naval base, even if it's the first time they meet. However, she is very shy when it comes to things like Xiaobai.

For example, when they were at the naval base, whenever Changchun had intimate interactions with Xiaobai, it was either because she secretly sneaked into Xiaobai's room at night or she secretly invited Xiaobai to her room. Such things, like hugging and kissing Xiaobai under the noses of others, especially a group of strangers, were really too much of a challenge to Changchun's patience and shyness.

"Changchun? What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked curiously, seeing Changchun's dejected appearance.

"N-nothing...it's nothing..." Changchun quickly gave Xiaobai an awkward smile. She bit her lip, lowered her head and combed her long hair behind her ear, then walked to Xiaobai's side and looked around at the shadowy corners. "...Admiral, is it alright to let these unfamiliar ladies follow us?"

"Of course it's related." Xiaobai held up one finger to Changchun and said solemnly, "After all, we can't let anyone see what we're about to do!"

"Then I'll help the admiral drive them away?" Changchun asked again.

"No need for that." Xiaobai smiled slightly and extended her hand to Changchun. "Come on, Changchun, hold my hand."

“Okay…” Changchun looked curiously at the palm Xiaobai offered, and although he had some doubts, he still gently picked it up.

Xiaobai closed his eyes, and the Admiral Network was activated.

Changchun felt a warm spiritual energy emanating from Xiaobai's palm, which transformed into a thin film covering his body.

Before Changchun could even inquire about the surge of this layer of mental energy membrane, the next second, an even more turbulent network of admirals erupted from Xiaobai's body. Invisible tentacles overlapped and spread out, rapidly opening in all directions like a dense fishing net.

at the same time.

The ship girls, hiding in the shadows near and far, shuddered. They instinctively widened their eyes, a strange sense of fear welling up from the bottom of their hearts.

Exposed?!

The ship girls in the shadowy corner felt a chill run down their spines. They quickly stood up and made a move to retreat.

But before the thought could even form in the ship girls' minds, in the next instant, the invisible network formed by their mental energy had already arrived in front of them and swept across their bodies in a flash.

Before the ship girls could even react to the invisible network, their minds went blank, their eyes became vacant, and their bodies lost control.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Thump thump thump…

The sounds of ship girls falling to the ground echoed from all around Xiaobai and Changchun, on the rooftops, in the alleyways, under the streetlights behind them, and in all sorts of shadowy corners.

whoosh-

Several small reconnaissance aircraft also landed on the ground and smashed to pieces with a thud.

Changchun looked around in surprise, and then she saw the ship girls lying unconscious in the shadowy corner.

"Admiral? This... did you do this?"

“Yes.” Xiaobai released Changchun’s hand.

"Wow...that's amazing..." Changchun looked in surprise at the dissipating membrane of spiritual energy on his body.

Without the protection of this mental energy membrane... I would probably have collapsed unconscious under the admiral's mental attack, just like the other ship girls...

The admiral is amazing!

Ship girls are like helpless babies in front of the admiral!

“Actually, I didn’t want to bother with them, but we’re going to the sea at 8-1 later, and we can’t let them see us violating the Admiral’s Guild’s rules.” Xiaobai raised a finger and said to Changchun very seriously, “After all, if we give the Admiral’s Guild evidence of our violation of the rules and going to 8-1 at night, it will cause trouble for Miss Yingying.”

“…That’s true.”

"Alright! Anyway, we've shaken them off. Let's hurry over to the 8-1 sea area."

"Is it alright for these older women to be lying here?"

"It's alright, we can leave it alone. I used a little trick on them."

"Admiral, you're amazing!"

Changchun and Xiaobai held hands and quickly left the spot.

Xiao Bai and Chang Chun's figures quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

The ship girls were left behind, silent and forgotten.

The night was incredibly quiet.

The evening breeze blew for a long time. After a while, a ship girl on the ground twitched her fingers. She slowly got up, covered her head, and opened her eyes in confusion.

"...Huh? Where...where am I again?"

As one ship girl regained consciousness, the others gradually woke up as well.

All the ship girls who had woken up covered their heads in confusion, looking around in bewilderment.

"What happened...where is everyone?"

"I was just following someone... how did they disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"I...I lost them..."

"What were those two talking about... oh no... I think I can't remember..."

The ship girls swayed and staggered, staring blankly at the end of the street, their faces full of confusion.

……

While the ship girls who were following Xiaobai were confused and at a loss, Xiaobai and Changchun had already left their original location and headed towards the 8-1 sea area.

Xiaobai and Changchun arrived at 8-1 without any obstacles, returning to the dark sea.

"Speaking of which, why did you come to see the research and construction machine tonight, Admiral?" Changchun asked Xiaobai beside him with some curiosity.

"Well... I had something I wanted to verify." Xiaobai smiled at Changchun. "It's nothing serious. I was planning to go and come back quickly, but I didn't expect to run into you on the way."

"What does the Admiral want to verify?"

"I want to test the energy conversion rate of the research construction machine a bit... like what type of resources are best for charging it." Xiaobai patted the phone in his pocket through his clothes. "Because there are people here during the day, I chose to come when no one is around to avoid being seen by others."

"Ah! I see!" Changchun suddenly realized.

"Let's hurry back too," Xiaobai said with a smile to Changchun.

"understand!"

Xiaobai and Changchun stepped onto the surface of 8-1, speeding across the calm water, and soon arrived in front of the scientific research construction machine.

The research and construction machine, which I hadn't seen for a day, was as quiet as ever.

Xiao Bai approached the research and construction machine and first reached out to check the lock on it.

After a day of tireless charging, the charging progress on the research and construction machine has increased significantly, reaching a high of 1.37%.

"The admirals in Chapter 8 really haven't been skimping on the construction machine... It's already at 1.37% today." Xiaobai muttered, releasing the lock, hands on his hips, looking at the quiet research construction machine before him, and smiled helplessly. "At this rate, it'll probably take another seventy or eighty days to fully charge it..."

Seventy or eighty days...

If we rely on the efforts of the admirals in Chapter 8, it will take another six months.

And this is all contingent on them ensuring that the research and construction machines are fed the same amount of resources every day as they were today…

Chapter 2775 Swallowed!

Xiaobai firmly believes in the saying "Many hands make light work".

As the saying goes, many hands make light work. If the admirals in Chapter 8 selflessly invest their resources into this research and construction machine, it might actually be possible to successfully raise research ship girls.

Unfortunately, even a novice can tell that as the progress increases, the frequency with which these admirals fill up the research construction machines will only decrease...

"How come it's only 1.37%..." Changchun, who was standing nearby, peeked out and looked at the progress on the lock, and couldn't help but sigh.

“That’s a lot already,” Xiaobai said to Changchun with a smile. “This is equivalent to 137 pieces of mass-produced deep-sea academy metal.”

"Ah... if you convert it like this, it does seem like a lot..." Changchun covered his mouth.

"Even for a newbie naval base, it's a bit painful to take out so much mass-produced Deep-Sea Dean Metal all at once," Xiaobai muttered, tapping his fingers on the metal shell of the research construction machine.

The research and construction machine remained silent, without any reaction.

Xiaobai and Changchun took a few steps back and came to an open area of ​​water.

Xiao Bai first opened his ship equipment space and took out a raft that was a few square meters in size. Then he tilted the entrance of the ship equipment space downwards and poured out a large amount of deep-sea metal. In the blink of an eye, this large amount of deep-sea metal piled up into a small mountain on the small raft, making the small raft creak and groan, almost falling apart.

"If it keeps falling, the raft won't be able to hold on. Let's stop here for now," Xiaobai muttered to herself as she closed the ship's equipment space.

"Huh? Admiral, do you have so much deep-sea metal on you?" Changchun looked at the metal peaks on the raft with surprise and asked in astonishment.

“I don’t usually carry this much. I asked Chaoda to take me back to the naval base this afternoon, and I retrieved it from the base’s warehouse.” Xiaobai smiled at Changchun. She bent down, picked up a piece of deep-sea metal, and continued, “The reason I took out so much deep-sea metal is to roughly estimate how much ordinary deep-sea metal is equivalent to one mass-produced deep-sea metal. This way, I will have some confidence in predicting the progress of this construction machine later.”

"I see……"

"Let's feed this raft to the research and construction machine first," Xiaobai said. "There are over three hundred pieces of deep-sea metal on this raft; let's see how much progress it will increase!"

"it is good!"

As Changchun and Xiaobai talked, they pushed the raft in front of the scientific research and construction machine.

The research and construction machine sensed the raft approaching, and like a brown bear that had smelled honey in its sleep, its massive steel body was instantly awakened, and then it opened its huge mechanical mouth and ran towards the raft.

Phew!

The small mountain of three hundred pieces of deep-sea metal was swallowed whole by the scientific research and construction machine.

The research and construction machine crunched away at the deep-sea metal in its mouth, slowly returned to its position, coiled up, and fell silent once more.

Xiao Bai and Chang Chun waited for a while until the scientific research construction machine completely quieted down before approaching.

Xiao Bai bent down to lift the tech lock and looked at the values ​​on it.

It remains at 1.37%, showing no signs of movement.

"Looks like it's not enough..." Xiaobai muttered regretfully, but not unexpectedly. "That's true. If it were that easy to increase progress, the research and construction machine wouldn't have only increased this much progress in a whole day."

Xiao Bai pulled the raft back, opened the ship's equipment space, and poured three hundred pieces of deep-sea metal onto it.

The raft, laden with deep-sea metal, was pushed by Xiaobai and Changchun toward the scientific research and construction machine.

The research and construction machine swallowed it whole, crunching and chewing...

This cycle lasted for four rounds.

After the fourth round of deep-sea metal was consumed, Xiaobai and Changchun approached the research and construction machine and looked down at the technology lock.

"Ah! It's gone up! It's gone up! It's finally gone up!"

Changchun said with delight.

After four rounds of feeding, plus the initial feeding, the value on the tech lock finally increased from 1.37% to 1.38%...

"Five rounds of feeding only increased it by one ten-thousandth... That means it would take at least fifteen million to fully feed the research and construction machine... Ugh, that's terrifying!" The number Xiaobai calculated himself sent shivers down his spine, trying to escape the horrifying result. "Even a newbie naval base wouldn't be able to escape that much deep-sea metal... What kind of outrageous number is this... No, no, no, does that mean that the 1.37% figure means that the admirals in Chapter 8 this afternoon actually fed a whopping 160,000 to 170,000 pieces of deep-sea metal?"

When Xiaobai personally calculated the specific values ​​and saw these numbers from the Ha people laid out in front of him, he felt a strong sense of frustration.

Too much.

That's way too much.

Research ship girls... So they're this expensive?

For a moment, Xiaobai even considered giving up on pursuing research ship girls...

"Sigh... Oh well, since other admirals are also contributing, maybe the resources won't be enough when it's distributed among everyone." Xiaobai thought about it again and again, and finally sighed softly.

"Admiral, should we continue feeding him?" Changchun asked Xiaobai, his hands clasped together.

"Well..." Xiaobai clutched her chest, "Hmm, keep feeding her."

"So what should we feed them this time?"

"Feed it with fuel."

"it is good!"

Xiaobai and Changchun continued their work.

Time passes minute by minute.

……

Beneath the dark sky lies the dark sea.

The sea breeze howled, but the heavy sea surface remained undisturbed.

On the oppressive and heavy sea, two snow-white figures were working diligently around the raft, pushing a large resource box filled with aluminum blocks toward the scientific research and construction machine.
