Elder brother's garrison

"This kind of thing has no special value. It's no different from the colorful stones on the roadside. It's just a simple commemoration of history. In the whole basement, it's the kind of thing that can be thrown away at any time. If you like it, Mr. Lu Lin, please feel free to take it."

"Huh?? Is this okay?"

“I’m the president, after all,” Miss Yuge said.

"Ah, thank you..." Xiaobai looked at Miss Yuge and smiled at her, feeling a little touched.

Xiao Bai reached out and took down the deep-sea metal object hanging on the wall, then examined it closely for a while.

It seems that all the energy inside has disappeared, which is why this little white deep-sea metal doesn't look very appetizing.

However, Xiao Bai has recently developed a strong connection with various Deep Sea Deans, and he has a strong desire to collect their items. So, since Yu Ge is going to give this to Xiao Bai, he has no reason to refuse.

—After all, these colorful stones are actually quite pretty.

Because Yuge was watching Xiaobai at the door, it was inconvenient for Xiaobai to put this thing into her ship equipment space. So, with Xiaobai's help, Missouri reached out and put the deep-sea metal into her ship equipment space.

After doing all that, everyone looked towards the innermost part of the basement.

Sure enough, there was a ship girl construction device with a slightly different shape placed against the wall at the very back of the basement.

The white construction equipment bears some mottled marks of time, looking shaky and as if it might collapse at any moment.

When Xiao Bai's gaze fell upon the construction device, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes began to waver.

—This construction device is actually… no, it really looks exactly the same as the one that built Missouri!

“…Huh…” Xiaobai stared wide-eyed and involuntarily quickened her pace toward the construction device. When she reached the construction device, she looked at it with great surprise.

Xiao Bai reached out and touched the construction device in front of him, his eyes trembling slightly.

As a novice who brought the construction device to humanity, she was quite certain of the device's authenticity in appearance.

Exactly.

The same.

This is the construction device that achieved a 100% success rate in building Missouri...

--Eh?

But that's not right.

The construction device that built Missouri was completely destroyed after North Carolina was built, and was even given to Lord Wood to be dismantled and studied...

How did this thing end up here?

Little White turned around and looked at Missouri.

Missouri's memories of the time gap seemed rather hazy. Looking at the construction device in front of Xiaobai, she shook her head apologetically, indicating that she didn't know.

“This construction device… is indeed different.” Ella put her hands behind her back, bent down and approached Xiaobai, looking at the machine in front of her.

"Ella, do you have any records of this construction device at home?"

"Hmm? I don't know, I haven't studied construction devices."

"Huh? But you weren't just now..."

"Shh—why would the president have led us in if I hadn't said that?" Ai stretched out a finger, put it to her lips, and smiled at Xiaobai. "Besides, my family researches construction device parts. For research on the overall construction device, you might as well ask the governor in this fortress."

"..." Xiaobai looked at Ella's innocent face and felt somewhat helpless.

Xiaobai gave up asking Ella and instead turned his head back to the rapid construction device.

—This thing is really strange.

Xiao Bai closed her eyes and immersed her mind in her spiritual world.

……

In the villa of the spiritual world, the Will of the Deep Sea was squatting in the living room, studying the rapid construction device on the television screen.

Little White appeared behind the Will of the Deep Sea.

"Deep Sea Meaning..."

"This should be what attracted the Deepsea Amphibious Ship."

"Huh???" Little White stood there, stunned, staring at the Will of the Deep Sea in astonishment. "Is this it?"

"That thing was originally in the ocean, right? You brought it ashore and gave it to humans. As the first creature to appear in the ocean, it's not unreasonable for the Deep Sea Abomination to have some connection with it."

"But...but it wasn't included when the timeline was broken down..."

"That human city isn't near the sea; it's too far away. The Abyssal Fleet probably wouldn't be able to attract it on a large scale. And have you forgotten? Even if there were no sea around, after this construction device was brought into the city, the Abyssal Yamato, who had just been promoted to Dean in the Transcendent Era, led the Abyssal Fleet straight towards that city from the open sea."

"..." Xiaobai stood there stunned, stammering for a long time without saying a word.

"what happened?"

"...This foreshadowing is way too far off!"

"..."

written request for leave

I went out with my family for the Chinese New Year, and since returning home I haven't been able to concentrate and write anything. I'm postponing it today.

I'll see if I can make up for it tomorrow or the day after. If I'm in a good mood, I'll try to make up a few chapters.

See you tomorrow.

Gugu ...

Chapter 964 The essence of making friends is reciprocity.

"Fortunately, the construction device you gave to humanity was damaged after North Carolina was built. After it was completely dismantled, it basically lost its effect of attracting Abyssal Fleet ships. Otherwise, before you left that place and before the ship girls in that city matured, the city might have been completely flattened by the Abyssal Fleet ships that were attracted there."

A teasing smile appeared on the lips of the Deep Sea Will, as if it were saying to Little White, "You're so lucky."

—They were really lucky.

After all, whether the construction device is damaged or not is directly related to whether humanity is saved or destroyed.

"Deep Sea Will, can you feel the effect of the construction device attracting the Deep Sea Amphibious Ships?" Xiao Bai chuckled twice, patted his chest, and was also a little scared.

"I can vaguely sense that there's something special about it, but this thing doesn't really attract me. I just thought it was something special before, and I never thought it could attract the Deep Sea Abyss Ship," Deep Sea Will said. "It wasn't until I saw it just now that I realized it was a bit different. You can bring Deep Sea Yamato over and ask her if she feels any familiarity with it."

"Oh……"

Xiao Bai walked to the side of the Deep Sea Will and looked at the television set in front of the Deep Sea Will.

On the television screen, the image of the construction equipment in the basement that Xiaobai had just seen was playing.

"Then... how did the construction equipment I brought with me when the lineage broke down end up here so mysteriously?" Xiaobai asked.

"No."

"what?"

“Although that thing doesn’t appeal to me, I can still sense that after North Carolina was built, the construction device was completely drained. Even if humans pieced it back together, it would just be a piece of scrap metal. The construction device you brought over before really has no chance of turning back.”

"But this thing in front of me..." Xiaobai didn't quite understand the meaning of the Deep Sea Will.

"I'm talking to you." The Will of the Deep Sea turned its head and glanced at Little White: "You don't actually think this thing is some kind of natural object that appeared on the seabed, formed from the essence of the sun and moon, do you?"

"Uh……"

"..." Seeing that Xiaobai was speechless for a moment, the Will of the Deep Sea turned its head and looked at the TV screen, murmuring softly, "If you can find a construction device in the world, then it wouldn't be a problem for others to find a second one, right..."

"Ah...that's right."

Xiaobai's expression was somewhat subtle. She scratched her head and thought for a while nervously, "So, does that mean the one next to me and the one from the discontinued era are from the same brand?"

"Ah."

Who manufactured this construction equipment?

"who knows."

"I first met you on that vast ocean. Back then, you were just a little black ball. Maybe you have some connection to that construction device."

"..." The Will of the Deep Sea glanced at Little White with a sidelong look, then pointed to itself with a finger.

Xiao Bai tilted its head.

“Your statement is incorrect,” the Will of the Deep Sea said.

"What's wrong?"

“Me.” The will of the deep sea continued to poke itself. “Half of what makes me is derived from your genes and memories, and the other half is the black sphere you saw on the surface of the sea. So even if there is a connection, it is that black sphere that is connected to it, not me.”

"Oh...I understand."

"?"

"Deep Sea Will, you have half of a rare bloodline!" Xiaobai clasped his hands together, staring at Deep Sea Will with starry eyes, looking as if he had seen an ultra-rare SSR.

"..." The will of the deep sea.

The Will of the Deep Sea reluctantly withdrew its hand and gently stroked its forehead.

If the Deep Sea Will weren't currently in a spiritual state without a physical body, she would have really been driven to the brink of high blood pressure by Xiao Bai.

Deep Sea Will actually felt that the issue he was discussing was quite serious, perhaps even involving some shady conspiracy or secrets of the world, but he never expected that this white-haired guy in front of him would have such a weak sense of crisis...

This person is too lazy (referring to their attitude towards life).

—I really want to hit someone.

--never mind.

The will of the deep sea sighed helplessly.

"In short, if you have some free time, you'd better find out the origin of this construction device," the Will of the Deep Sea said to Xiaobai.

"Okay." Xiaobai replied, "Then, if we destroy this construction device, will that stop the deep-sea amphibious ships that keep pouring in from the beach?"

"Need not."

"No need?"

"This construction device is the same as the one you brought to the Discontinuity era before; its lifespan is almost over. In my eyes, this thing is like a matchstick that's about to burn out. Building Wisconsin is its last bit of power. If we force it to build again, it will probably just produce another underdeveloped ship girl, or even an embryo if we're unlucky," Deep Sea Will said. "Anyway, even if we leave it here and ignore it, it will eventually turn into scrap metal in less than a year. That Yuge will just have to work an extra year at most."

"...Ah, has this one reached the end of its durability too..." Xiaobai lowered his head with some regret.

Xiaobai originally intended to move this thing away.

Look, with this thing here, and the Deep Sea Fleet coming out to attack the city wave after wave, Miss Yuge will have to work overtime for long periods of time, which is bad for her liver in the long run. Xiaobai isn't blatantly stealing; she's saving lives.

Right? After all, the success rate of this kind of construction machine is 100%. I really want to experience the feeling of building and shipping again.

Unfortunately, the Deep Sea Will's final words dissuaded Xiaobai from her idea, and Xiaobai had no choice but to give up.

After greeting the will of the deep sea, Xiaobai left the spiritual world.

Back in the real world, as soon as Xiaobai opened his eyes, he saw Wisconsin squatting on the ground in front of him, holding his face and staring at him.

Beside the construction device, Ella and Missouri were curiously looking it over from top to bottom.

"Awake?" Wisconsin asked.

"Uh... um."

"Even an admiral is just a normal person. He'll get tired after staying up all night." Wisconsin shrugged helplessly.

"Hahaha..." Xiaobai wasn't comfortable explaining the existence of the spiritual world to Wisconsin, so it seemed okay to let Wisconsin understand it this way for now. "I've finished looking at the construction device."

"Did you find anything?"

"Hmm... I didn't find anything significant. I just want to meet the person who brought the construction device here."

"If that person were alive today, he would be over 120 or 130 years old. Why don't you just look for graves nearby?"

"Uh...that makes sense..."

Since the Will of the Deep Sea had pleaded with Xiaobai, Xiaobai figured it was somehow related to him, so it wasn't wrong for him to be curious about the person who brought the construction device here.

Xiao Bai and the others left the basement, where Miss Yu Ge was eagerly waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Xiaobai and the others emerge, a hint of anticipation immediately appeared on Yuge's somewhat nervous face.

"Miss Ella, are you able to repair the construction device?"

“Yes, it’s definitely a different shape and can’t be repaired. But I’ve noted down the features, and I’ll ask my elders and their partners when I get home.” Ella smiled at Miss Fisher Song. “I’ll try my best to ask if anyone is an expert in this.”

"Ah...I see...Thank you very much." Miss Yuge immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
