Chapter 5: Goodbye I-401

At the invitation of three warships with a large displacement, Iona came to the space of "concept communication". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Long time no see, I-401. Haruna said.

"Here we are," Sakura said, putting down her teacup, "I was 'taken care of' not long ago, Iona." ”

"Kirishima, Haruna, Sakura. What's the matter with me?" asked Iona.

Kirishima: "How about sitting down first? I've heard that humans negotiate like this. ”

Iona sat down.

Kirishima: "We take orders from our flagship King Kong to sink you." ”

Iona: "I know. ”

Kirishima: "But before that, there are some things that need to be discussed. ”

Kirishima and Haruna's question is why I-401 is on the side of the humans, and there is intelligence that Sakura, who fought with I-401, already has a crew, and Takao, who was also defeated, has left the fleet to find a crew.

Haruna: "You two, do you think there's anything else humans can learn?"

Sakura: "First of all, I have to state that I don't have any intention of turning against humans. The role of the crew is naturally to free up more computing power to improve the battleship's combat continuation and ability to respond to unexpected situations. Misaka Sakura hereby informs. ”

Iona: "I don't know, but I need a captain, I'm already the ship of the Chihaya group." ”

Sakura: "Unlike me, have you given up the dominance of the battleship? Well, as a weapon, I won't comment on things outside of my position. Now for my question, how is Hinata doing? ”

Iona: "Hinata, it's good right now. ”

Sakura: "Where?"

Iona: "I can't convey this. ”

Sakura: "Yes, if you can get the information about the super gravity cannon, it seems that the core of Hinata is alive and not fake." So, there's another question, why didn't you sink me last time? ”

Iona: "It's the captain's order. ”

Sakura: "...... I know. Then, if I bully you here, I won't be able to join the three of you in the fight. Sakura Misaka decided to return the favor without conflicting with the order. ”

After all, there is no precedent for warships to transmit false information for confusion until now, and if there is information that cannot be disclosed, it will definitely reply with a refusal to inform it.

Haruna: "Favors, huh?"

Sakura: "In human terms, it means that between different units, in some specific circumstances, one party receives support or release, and in this case, if you don't give back in the same way, there may be a state where the emotional fluctuation value is too high to function normally, so it is necessary to return the favor first. Sakura Misaka explained. ”

Haruna: "Human affection...... I know. Classification, recording. ”

Kirishima: "I don't understand, why bother? We're weapons, and we just need to think about defeating the enemy." However, it doesn't matter, from the performance point of view, the I-401 will definitely not have a chance to win. ”

In fact, Kirishima who has obtained the mental model has some emotions, such as being easily provoked and overconfident, but she doesn't realize it, and only thinks that these are the products of her battleship's good performance. Perhaps getting the relatively calm Haruna to partner with her is not just a numerical advantage, but also part of the tactics.

After Iona left first, Sakura said, "Haruna, in the battle later, please remind Kirishima more, especially since my crew has detected a human submarine at the bottom of the sea, so be careful." Sakura Misaka decided. ”

Kirishima: "Ignore the human ships, but what do you mean by having Haruna remind you more?"

Sakura: "Our mental model is formed by combining the parameters of the battleship itself, with independent algorithms and energy efficiency, and referring to human appearance and personality data. Although it is not nice to say, according to human data, Kirishima is the first type to sink. Misaka Sakura said carefully. ”

Kirishima: "Do you mean I'm going to repeat Hinata's mistakes?" she looked unhappy, and of course, if you look at it from a human perspective.

Haruna: "However, since the I-401 had a record of fighting and winning against Sakura at the same time with Hyuga, which was not much different from our combined firepower, it was important to anticipate the target's actions, and if it failed due to an accident, it would be regretted. ”

Sakura: "I wish you good luck in martial arts, if you are defeated, I will give priority to rescuing the core this time." Sakura Misaka said. ”

This is the end of the communication.

Submarine I-401β€”β€”

"Iona?" asked the group looking sideways.

"It's okay, Sakura promised not to intervene in our battle with Kirishima and Haruna for the time being. Iona replied.

"Hey, can you believe the enemy's words?" said Kyohei, who had just been checking the remaining ammunition.

"We didn't sink her last time, plus she should still care about Hinata, so there should be a possibility of conversation. Even if we don't, it's only a war, and we can't go to the United States with a large number of pursuers, and it is necessary to sink the core ships to bring them to a temporary standstill. ”

The Sea Mist Fleet, which does not have a mental model, will fall into a state of stagnation of passive defense once the flagship or proxy flagship is sunk, just like the last time Hyuga was sunk, Sakura wanted to directly order other warships but did not respond.

Sea Assault Suppression Ship Sakuraβ€”β€”

"Huh-" completed the "concept communication" of the yarn warehouse, and the mental model exhaled.

"Eh, it's boring, why don't you just sink the I-401? Don't you plan to take revenge? I heard that you were beaten up by the other party very badly. Mura Sha Shuimi said.

"If two battleships with mental models can't win, I don't think the First Cruise Fleet will be wanted. I care more about other ships than about that. Nazrin, are there any other ships in this area of water besides the ships that were routed by Kirishima?, Sakura Misaka confirmed. ”

Nazrin slowly operated the radar system and said, "There is a large submarine that was responsible for intercepting with human surface warships before the arrival of the I-401. It seems that preparations are being made to retreat. ”

"It's strange," Sakura scratched his cheek with his fingers, "According to the tactical network, there shouldn't be much of the I-401's erosion torpedo left, and to penetrate the battleship's Klein force field, you must use a hypergravity gun." And the super-gravity gun of the I-401 is not in the submarine, but is equipped with two semi-automatic Option ships to carry it, and it is not brought with it, that is, ............"

"I can't use it or I can't use it. Shui Mi said.

"Is there any difference between these two statements?" said the Beast Owl.

"It's a big difference. ”

"Unusable" means that it has been scrapped or damaged since the last defeat of Kaohsiung, while "unusable" is more focused on not allowing the Option ship to be driven out due to some scruples, such as tactics or something.

"'Moby Dick' survived two torpedo salvos in Kirishima just now, so let's solve this variable first. Normal warhead, fully loaded, Batteries 1 and 2, open-"
