Chapter 25 The Light Cruiser Suzuya
"Then, you and I will come to an agreement on this matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoPlease go to Room 2 in F32 in half a month to make a face-to-face transaction. The boy with dark blue eyes turned his gaze to the strange boy sitting opposite him.
"At that time, I will transfer the remaining full amount to the account set out in the agreement." , who looks like a boy who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, expresses his wishes very sincerely.
"Okay, the electronic agreement has been sent to your mailbox and is protected by the college's notarization." , the boy said, and seemed to be very satisfied with this.
This is the café on the second floor of the college, and it is also a place that is often used for chatting and socializing. Of course, there will be certain things that the Admiral will negotiate with each other and reach certain agreements, as just before.
In this compartment, four teenagers and girls sat opposite each other, and in the center were four cups of coffee that had not been drunk.
"But I have to remind of something. Changing the ship's outfit can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of your ship's mother, but adding too much ship's outfit will also bring some pressure to the main engine, and may even lead to a decrease in other aspects of ability. The boy seemed to kindly remind.
It's not that there is no one ship girl who can add new weapons to her ship without limits. The use of the ship's equipment is not urgent, and the ship's mother needs to share the mental power to control, and the ship's main engine needs to allocate a certain amount of energy to supply. If too much equipment is loaded, it will affect the power output of the ship's main engine, the most obvious example of which is to cause its speed to decrease.
"This modernization, which is mainly based on the replacement of the secondary artillery crew and other components, is necessary. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous in the subsequent training and future battles. Unexpectedly, it was not the young man who answered the question just now, but a petite girl with black hair and black eyes and fair skin sitting diagonally opposite.
It was the Caracciolo that she had some connection with Veneto and was able to replace some of Veneto's ships.
When Aritaus heard this, he turned his gaze to the face of the young man sitting across from him, and found that he did not have much disagreement, and seemed to approve of what the Caracciolo had said.
"Then I need to emphasize it again. The pick-up time was November 19, and it was not possible to gather the required number of ships for the treaty. After repeating this again, the boy said goodbye to the two and left the café.
The boy and Veneto walked through the sparse crowd of people in the open passage on the second floor, preparing to take the elevator back to the dormitory on the fourth floor.
"How do you feel about that Caracciolo?" , the boy suddenly asked such a question.
"There was something familiar. According to a theory last time, there is a natural affection between ship girls from similar origins, and it is a similar situation between me and her. Veneto thought for a moment, remembering the unexpected ease he felt when he communicated with the girl just now, and replied.
"Huh? You don't have a lot of theory classes, do you? Will you be on some too? After listening to the girl's explanation, Aritaus suddenly realized such a problem. The Academy's classes for Admirals and Shipwives were very different, and Aritus did not have a detailed schedule for them, nor did he know what they were about.
"Hardly, what I just said was just told by a very experienced senior." In response to the juvenile question, Veneto recalled the college's tradition of 'teaching in battle'.
The two returned to the dormitory and opened the dormitory door, but Des Moines and Anne were nowhere to be seen.
"In the past two days, they have been hanging out together, and they have just used up the application for going out in the first month." Aritus looked at the unpopular room, made himself and Veneto a cup of coffee, and sat down on the couch and said.
"The relationship between the two is really good...... "Veneto took out the sugar cube from his subspace and soaked it in coffee, as if he was a little envious.
"The situation of the two of them is similar to the relationship between you and Caracciolo, which naturally has a sense of intimacy, so it is more compatible." , Arites recalled that Anne inherited the ship's mother's bloodline from the Independence, and it was understandable that the two had a close relationship.
"Speaking of which, 'Caracciolo' was a little surprised that he didn't get your main gun." The boy took a sip of coffee and asked slightly.
"Actually, she didn't change it, but it was the most normal. Well, the Admiral may ...... The understanding and grasp of the ship's equipment is not enough, and in short, the main gun is the most difficult to replace and seek replacement. Hearing the boy's confusion, Veneto paused slightly, as if he was concerned about the fact that his admiral could also control the ship.
"Is it the main gun that has the greatest impact on the output of the main engine? If you just add some secondary guns, it doesn't seem to have this problem? Arietes said after careful consideration, comparing the radar fire control and secondary artillery crews he had received from Guam. Since he hadn't used the ship's suit for a long time, he had become unfamiliar with these feelings.
"Yes, she was originally carrying four twin main guns, which is too far behind my triple main guns. If it is forcibly replaced, it may even cause a certain main gun to fail to produce normally. Veneto explains.
Too much ship equipment will slow down the ship's speed, and even affect the combat effectiveness of other aspects. Therefore, it is quite difficult to change the main gun, and most of the ship's main weapons are the same as when they were first born until the end of their lives.
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, and for a moment neither of them knew what to say.
It was a leisurely Sunday, but Alitus had no plans to go out. Similarly, as the flagship, Veneto also needs to deal with some things, and there is no plan to go out.
"The Admiral's period of mental weakness has not yet passed? A few days ago, when the Admiral was using the Psychic Network, he could feel that the Admiral had not fully recovered. Looking back for a long time, Veneto didn't know what to say, so he could only ask some questions about training.
"It was only fully recovered yesterday to be exact." , Arites' expression also seemed a little strange. Since the last summon of Des Moines, he had been in a period of mental breakdown for quite some time, almost as long as he needed to recover after that summoning Veneto.
And the boy seemed to have forgotten that his mental toughness at this time was much stronger than when he summoned Veneto, but this situation still occurred.
"But it's time to summon new companions...... Veneto, please let me know about this month's resource statistics. The boy thought about it seriously and decided to understand his own resources before deciding whether to perform the summoning ceremony.
"As of October 10, the balance of current resources last month: 490 units of steel, 460 units of Aojin, 460 units of radiant energy blocks, 451 units of hydrogen storage tanks, 3 bottles of high-energy repair solution, and 8 bottles of repair solution." Veneto whispered the data to the young admiral.
Arrites, of course, knew that the 500 resources stored in the ashram warehouse were not counted here, and he listened quietly to Veneto's report on this month's data:
"As of November 5, the balance of current resources this month: 837 units of steel, 807 units of Aojin, 807 units of radiant energy blocks, 756 units of hydrogen storage tanks, 4 bottles of high-energy repair solution, and 13 bottles of repair solution." , as the flagship of the fleet, Veneto, of course, also took on quite a lot of official duties, and it was also her duty to count the consumption of resources.
"The consumption situation seems to be quite optimistic......", Arritheus remembered that after summoning Des Moines last time, the balance stored in the ashram warehouse was reduced to 600 units due to the return of resources from the academy, and with the addition of 200 units per month after the academy's special care, it can be said that the current resource consumption is quite normal.
"Admiral, it should be noted that this month Des Moines only calculates the consumption of these seven days, if you calculate the whole month, the consumption of various resources will be about 200 to 300 units per month." Veneto seriously raised some questions. Des Moines certainly had the strongest combat power among the cruisers, but the consumption was also somewhat large, almost one and a half times that of Anne.
There used to be a joke among the admirals that the combat effectiveness of the ship girl was positively correlated with the amount of food. Although it is only a joke, it also accurately highlights the huge consumption of the capital ships, even if it is daily work and rest and training bomb training, it still requires a lot of resources every month.
"Considering that the future promotion will also require the exchange of resources for the core, the Admiral's resources are still a little insufficient." , as the flagship, Veneto naturally knows more things and is also prepared for some things.
"Good work, Veneto. It's just that the First Fleet has not yet completed its establishment, and it needs at least three companions to form a complete combat ......", although Aritus knows the importance of reserve resources, but the plan to prepare and replenish still needs to be implemented.
"Veneto can understand that without forming a fleet, it will not be able to show full combat effectiveness." The girl nodded, and of course she knew why she continued to do so.
"Is the Admiral going to the ashram on the basement floor?" Veneto asked, noticing that Alitus turned on the electronic light screen and quickly submitted his application to the academy.
"Yes...... However, the formula chosen this time does not use so many resources. I'd rather summon a light cruiser to replace the escort support mission that Anne will have left empty in the future when she becomes an aircraft carrier. Alitus took Veneto with him and left the dormitory to go to the basement floor, and said to the girl beside him.
"So what are the plans for the rest of this time...... Is it to summon destroyer ship girls? Veneto asked.
"Exactly, the tasks of anti-submarine and patrol need to be carried out by destroyers. It's not that you can't do it, but it's too inefficient and a waste of resources. The boy seemed to be a little helpless and said.
It is not that the capital ship is incapable of anti-submarine, as long as it is willing to install depth charges and projection devices, any ship can carry out this kind of mission, but this does not conform to the tactical arrangement for it.
The reason why capital ships are called capital ships is precisely because they need their strong combat power to destroy the enemy's living forces, and not to waste their valuable combat power on such tasks as escorting and anti-submarine ships.
Quiet room on the basement floor
With the arrival of Aritus, some of the people who had been sitting in the hall also gathered around. They didn't ask Aritus for Emperor Ou's handwriting as a metaphysics, but they noticed the resources placed in the cargo box in front of him, and it was clear that they were here to summon a new ship.
"Is the Emperor going to build today?"
"Is there a metaphysical bonus today? I wanted to try it too......"
"Are you going to be blind again today? Oh, I didn't get better from my eye disease last time......"
The cacophony of voices made Aritus uncomfortable, and he honestly told him that he was just calling a new companion.
Of course, everyone didn't stop him for too long, after all, there are always people who want to watch big news, whether it's good or bad.
After opening the door of an ashram, Aritus began to take out the three hundred units of resources that had been transported from the warehouse, and carefully carved out the rituals.
By the time the sadhana was completed, Aritus realized that the amount of spiritual power he had been extracted this time was not much, and the time determined through the spiritual link was 1:30.
A relatively normal time, this time is also the time when many cruisers will appear. After learning this news, everyone seemed to be relieved.
After all, the last time Alitus summoned a six-star ship girl who had never appeared before, it was still too terrifying. The normal summoning time this time also put most people at ease.
The Emperor of Europe is only occasionally scared to death with a pale face, and it is not always the kind of miserable and blinding colored light, if the six-star ship girl can be summoned every time, maybe the new humans will have to help but do some experiments......
Due to the lack of mental energy, Aretus did not enter a state of rest, but waited here silently.
The people in the ashram were quite concerned about this at first. But as time went on, most people stopped looking at it.
As time passed, the glass vitrines of the original 17th quiet room were emitting a deep blue light.
Everyone present has studied the Admiral's guidance class, and of course they know that behind this brilliance, there will be a four-star ship girl.
Arantus had no intention of listening to the comments of those around him because of the light. The most important thing for him is to welcome this new companion.
Opening the door of the ashram, the boy had already seen the figure of a young girl manifesting on the ritual.
After waiting a little time, Alitus finally heard the words of the awakened girl:
"I'm Suzuya~ Although it is the third ship of the highest class, some people call me the No. 1 ship of the Suzuya class, please advise!" The girl's long pale green hair gives people a sense of relaxation, and she is looking at the young man standing in front of her with a pair of gray eyes at this time.
The boy took a closer look at the girl. She appeared to be wearing a hazel uniform that resembled a student uniform, and she looked to be only sixteen years old. But on her body and back, she is carrying as many as five triple main guns, as well as four twin secondary guns, of course, the most conspicuous is the four triple torpedo tubes hanging on both sides of her thighs, which means that she also has quite strong lightning strike ability.
After a brief observation, Arites was still very satisfied with his new companion. What he needs is a light cruiser who can perform anti-evictions and perform a variety of combat methods, and this one here is also very suitable for his needs.
After informing the girl a little bit of her identity and sending out an invitation, Suzuya readily agreed and concluded a spiritual contract with him.
"Huh...... The list has been refreshed...... I'll take a look at ......"
"It's the top...... A little envious...... This is an excellent shipwreck who is known as a 'friend of the newcomer'......", a certain one seems to want to have a superior shipwive's companion Admiral, so sighed.
As a special cruiser of the first class, the first class was a light cruiser, and after being promoted, it can be transformed into a heavy cruiser or an aviation cruiser. For many newcomer admirals, it is indeed a blessing to have such an excellent ship lady who can change the type of ship to adapt to different needs.
"I want it too...... Salted fish like us can't summon a light mothership, so we can only pin our hopes on becoming the top of the patrol! ", a not-so-unconventional admiral wailed.
Whether it is a light aircraft carrier or a fleet aircraft carrier, it is unattainable for most people who are still relatively weak in mental strength. As far as Arrites has learned, it seems that only two or three of his class have light aircraft carriers.
Of the few people that Aritaus knew well, only Kazama had a prototype light aircraft carrier. For example, his neighbor Tariq only has an escort carrier Niang-Chaser, which is divided into auxiliary ships, and Talia has a Chiyoda, a seaplane carrier Niang, and those two can only be regarded as auxiliary ship Niang.
Of course, Aritus didn't plan for Suzuya to change the type of ship to become an aviation cruiser, because Anne could be a light aircraft carrier with a larger aircraft capacity and better suited for aviation support.
Regardless, Arrites was very pleased with his new companion.
