Room 7, Zone I2

Alloy walls and specially treated soundproof glass isolate the small room in the window from the outside world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Through the windows of the metal doors, you can see a strange view of the interior of the room.

The young girls were sitting upright on the ground in some strange position, their eyes closed as if they were thinking about something.

However, this is not a classroom for philosophical contemplation, but a retreat room for students to meditatively connect.

In the long silence, occasionally I could see a few teenagers who had been sitting upright suddenly rising up. It's not that they're getting up from where they are, they're floating with some unscientific force.

Of course, this state was very unstable, and a moment later someone fell from mid-air onto the soft cushion on the ground.

Relying on the new human's strengthened body, they were not injured, but their faces were a little more depressed.

This meditation class is a meditation course in which students manipulate their mental power to float themselves in order to pass the final assessment.

This is not a simple matter, although the mental power of the admirals can interfere with reality, but in order to make the human body float, it still needs to be carefully manipulated.

Even in a special environment such as a quiet room, it is still necessary to overcome the interference caused by weak air currents and air tremors in order to float itself.

Meticulous manipulation is the most important thing taught in this course, and it is the Admiral's mental network that requires careful and subtle manipulation and modification to achieve the right degree.

There was only one quiet girl with black hair and black-rimmed glasses in the crowd, who had finished the assessment and finished the class before the first class.

Naturally, this girl will not take classes this time, because she really does not need to continue her practice.

In today's class, there is also one person who is more prominent.

The short light blue hair is even more silvery white because of the cold light. And his originally blue eyes have also been closed, and he seems to be concentrating on mobilizing his spiritual power.

He is not an unknown person, he has become the second best person in the meditation class in the class because of his strong mental strength, and because he has summoned two six-star ship girls before, his fame has greatly increased, even if he is not a classmate, there are many people who know him, not to mention the classmates who are sitting here at the moment.

Quite a few people who have failed to float are turning their gaze to him, as if expecting something.

The people present were all new humans with physical qualities far beyond the old humans, and under careful observation, they naturally saw the young man's slightly trembling body.

As the amplitude of the tremor continued to increase, the distance between the boy and the cushion continued to widen, until it was completely detached from the air and rose into the air.

After that, the teenager remained in mid-air for a period of time, meeting the assessment standards required for graduation.

"Sure enough, it's the second place...... Aside from Talia's non-human existence, he was able to pass the ...... so quickly", a slight murmur around him reached his ears, but it didn't affect his state of mind.

"Actually, you're just as perverted as Talia, and I need at least three more classes to reach the level of ...... to maintain afloat," a dark-haired, black-eyed teenager sitting next to him sighed.

"The course does not require a high amount of mental power...... I remember your grades weren't bad, but they were just a matter of accuracy. Aritaus, who gradually withdrew his spiritual power and re-seated himself, responded to his friend's question.

"If it were as simple as it was said, there wouldn't be a long time to take this course......," the boy named Avalon frowned, thinking about the error he had made when constructing his mental network.

"Fine Operations...... There are similar props for sale in the training equipment on the first floor of the academy, although the price is higher, but the effect is not bad. A teenager who had bought and used it sent several items he saw to his friend's mailbox.

"Well, I'll see it after class." Hearing Aritus' suggestion, he was no longer bothered by what had just happened.

"But I'm a little envious of you and Talia, you don't need to go to class ...... anymore," Avalon said as he looked at Aritus, who was facing the middle-aged mentor in a robe.

"I also plan to continue to take the rest of this course, and I have already considered the 'Meditation and Mind' course in the elective." After receiving the results from his mentor, the teenager answered his friend's questions.

“…… I remember that this course was difficult and there wasn't enough time left, right? Avalon remembers that if you fail to pass the course according to the college's rules, you will be reduced in the final assessment next year.

"There are still ten months, it should be too late." The teenager has also heard of the upgraded version of this course, so he naturally knows that it is more difficult, unlike this course that can be completed in more than a month.

"To be correct, it's eight months, and we're going to do an internship in the early part of the summer." , Avalon noticed the error in the boy's words and pointed it out in passing.

"Is this ......", the teenager who recalled this incident still chose to stick to the elective after a little thought.

"There's not much time, I still have to go to the surface training ground, so I'll go first." , a reminder from a personal timetable for the teenager to say goodbye to his friends.

After leaving the quiet room dedicated to teaching in the academy, the boy recalled that Anne had finally completed her promotion some time ago, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Although she is not the second ship girl to be promoted to the second energy level, the result makes him have to pay attention to it.

After being promoted to the energy level, Anne successfully changed her ship's outfit completely with the help of her own mind, and successfully became a light aircraft carrier mother.

An aircraft carrier carrier, even a light aircraft carrier whose combat effectiveness and sustained combat capability are weaker than those of the fleet carriers, its combat capability and impact on the fleet cannot be ignored.

Behind this influence is also the need for him to adjust his mental network in time to adapt to the changes brought about by Anne's new identity. As the mother of the light aircraft carrier, Anne no longer needs to take on the duties of anti-deportation and confrontation cruisers as in the past, but exists as a capital ship.

Previously, only Veneto could be called the capital ship in Aritus's formation, and because of its powerful firepower projection and support, the battleship girls could be named the capital ship. Even the strongest of the cruisers like the Des Moines could not take on the title of capital ship, and its combat effectiveness was still inferior to that of some battleships.

Only the main guns of the battleship and the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier can deal a heavy and fatal blow to the deep sea, and it is for this reason that they are called capital ships.

…………

The 73rd Small Surface Test Ground

This is a training place for the ship's own use.,In the past, there weren't too many shipwives gathered in a small body of water.,At most, two or three shipwives will conduct collaborative training.。

But today it's different. There were seven unliberated girls floating on the water under their own power.

"The Admiral is here." , Maybe thanks to the flagship transformation, the white-haired and red-eyed girl has a very strong sense of her own admiral, even if she doesn't use a spiritual link, she can roughly sense its location, of course, there are situations where the two sides don't need to open their mouths to roughly understand each other's minds.

Neither of them expected that there was a reason for Veneto to be a junior starting ship.

As Alitus walked to the pontoon stands, he activated the psychic network and signaled to the crowd that the display could begin.

Five of the seven maidens who had been in place quickly left their current positions and returned to the pontoon, standing with their young admiral.

The two on the water quickly distanced themselves from each other.

It was Suzuya who cooperated with Anne in the drill this time. Given that Anne had only recently been promoted, and her ability to control the ship's equipment was not enough, if she were to deal with the frenzied anti-aircraft fire of Des Moines, she might have to waste a lot of carrier-based aircraft.

It was also through Anne's report that Aritaus learned a lot about the more specific capabilities and limitations of aircraft carriers, and naturally learned about the huge needs behind their powerful strike capabilities.

The Aircraft Carrier Ship Lady has incredible combat power, and the Roots of the Ship carries the carrier-based aircraft in the hangar. Flexible and efficient, a carrier-based aircraft capable of performing multiple combat missions, with a longer attack range than the main guns of battleships.

But it didn't come without a cost. Since each carrier-based aircraft can be regarded as a separate ship, the carriers of aircraft carriers that control large formations of carrier-based aircraft need to consume a lot of mental power, which makes their combat effectiveness unable to be guaranteed for a long time.

Of course, because it is an independent ship, its replenishment and construction also require additional resources, which is the hidden concern behind its powerful attack ability.

Anne, who had distanced herself, once again showed off her ship's outfit.

Unlike the previously seen combination of four triple guns and many secondary guns, the main part of the upgraded Anne has been transformed into a special flight deck and a hangar behind her.

Having reached the predetermined test position, Aritus ordered in the spirit network, "It's OK to start. ”

"Oh, oops, please don't underestimate my anti-aircraft firepower?" Suzuya, who gave up the control of the main gun and poured all his spirit into the secondary artillery group and the anti-aircraft artillery group, calmly prepared for the upcoming air attack.

Since it was a simulated battle, Suzuya was assigned the task of concentrating on defense, rather than using the main gun to shoot tentatively at Anne outside the shooting boundary.

"I, I'll do my best!" , Although the ship's outfit has changed, the girl Anne, whose personality has not changed, has some difficulty conveying her thoughts in the spiritual network.

As her voice fell, the girl began to use her ship's outfit and unleashed the carrier-based aircraft on a miniature flight deck.

"I ...... There are 30 carrier-based aircraft that I can use at the moment, and there are 10 in reserve in subspace, but it will take some time to prepare for ......", just as the girl was making this introduction, the carrier-based aircraft with dark blue paint had already begun to take off.

Due to Suzuya's defensive stance, some of Anne's problems in the process of releasing the carrier aircraft were not revealed, and of course this was something that Aritus had already tested before the simulation, and had conducted other tests to reflect those problems.

"Annie, how much more can you control your own shipboard when you release the carrier-based aircraft?" After the flight detachment of five for one formation was released, the young man asked.

"Mr. Admiral...... Well, if I had released it like that, I would only have the ability to keep the console running at maximum speed......," Anne explained in a hurry as she heard the boy's question.

"The secondary artillery group and the anti-aircraft artillery group are also not usable?" , Alitus asked in detail.

"It's just that the two single-mounted secondary guns don't seem to be able to use ......," Anne hastily explained.

In fact, even if she had enough strength to control the two naval guns on her ship, it would not be of much use, and she was already in a more dangerous state when she used her secondary gun crew to deal with other ships that attacked at close range.

From the point of view of armament, aircraft carriers are indeed not fighting in close proximity to the deep sea like ordinary ship girls, but use carrier-based aircraft with more terrible maneuverability to strike at each other.

After finally adjusting and releasing four teams of twenty carrier-based aircraft in a row, Arrites notices the disorder of Annie's mental power fluctuations.

"Sister Suzuya, please be careful ......", Anne, who seemed to have taken a breath, warned Suzuya, who was focusing on air defense not far away, through the spiritual network.

But Suzuya didn't have time to answer her.

Carrier-based planes flying at high altitude are carrying powerful aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes and throwing them downward.

With no interference from other carrier-based aircraft, Anne was able to devote as much of her energy as possible to the control of carrier-based aircraft, thus demonstrating her powerful destructive power.

Boom boom! The heavy crackling sound continued to be transmitted from the water, and unlike the last time Long Xiang used fighter jets to attack with aerial bombs, this time Anne used the fighter-bomber F6F and torpedo attack aircraft TBM, which were more adept at bombing.

Even if the training projectile was only one-tenth of the power, it still set off a fire in the turquoise ocean. The torpedo attack planes, which were covered by the fighter-bombers, quickly left the battlefield after releasing torpedoes at a low altitude.

Suzuya, who was struggling to dodge a falling bomb from a high altitude and tried to use a slightly weak anti-aircraft barrage, turned untimely because he approached an aerial torpedo, and then a loud noise was heard.

The strong kinetic energy generated by the torpedo explosion lifted a large amount of seawater until tens of seconds later.

At this moment, Aritaus has confirmed Suzuya's state through the spiritual network.

In just a few tens of seconds, Suzuya fell into a small state of destruction due to the blow of an aviation torpedo and had to withdraw from the battlefield.

Even because he only defended with all his strength and did not attack, Suzuya retreated from the battlefield so quickly. However, if the normal combat distance between the aircraft carrier and the enemy ship is considered in reality, it is unlikely that Suzutani will destroy Anne's shipstructure before he is hit by the carrier-based aircraft, so that it cannot continue to attack.

It was the training aviation torpedo that was not very powerful just now, which also caused her main engine to be slightly shocked, which reduced the speed to 32 knots, and if it was in actual combat, she might have to fall below 30 knots, and there was no possibility of catching up with Annie.

And such an attack has not yet reached the limit of Annie, the girl who has just changed the type of ship and is not yet familiar with the ship's equipment cannot control all her carrier-based aircraft in a unified manner, and there are still ten carrier-based aircraft in her hangar that are not ready for combat.

After witnessing Anne's current combat effectiveness, Aritus also had a rough assessment of her ability, and also made arrangements for future tactics.

For a ship like Anne, which can provide strong air support, but is relatively fragile, it needs sufficient protection and as far away as possible. This is the most basic strategy to build on strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Of course, there is also the problem that Anne, as a light aircraft carrier, is limited in the number of attacks she can perform, and in this regard, she cannot compare with Veneto, who constantly fires the fire of naval guns.

Of course, Arrithes still remembers that time when Long Xiang almost fainted in battle due to mental overdraft, if such a situation occurs in actual combat, it is extremely dangerous, so aircraft carriers need to use mental power carefully to avoid accidents.

After recording the whole process of the battle in detail, Aritus also expressed his condolences to Suzuya, who was willing to be the partner of the sparring partner, and of course was finally asked to eat curry rice for a week......
