Chapter 16: The Goblins
Woo——! The shrill sirens sounded throughout the island, and Agano suddenly got up from the bed like a nervous reflex, and quickly began to put clothes on her body, followed by the ship's suit, and by the time she got dressed and ran to the dock, Luke, Fuso, and Lian were already waiting for her there.
"Oh, not bad, not particularly slow. Night Emergency Dispatch Training Starts Now! Looking at his watch, Luke nodded, and then spoke, and the three shipwives jumped into the water at the same time.
It's said that it's an emergency training, but it's actually a trip around the sea near the island with ammunition, and a few night shooting exercises in the middle, which is not difficult, but Luke will check the target after they finish shooting, and if they don't hit, they will have to retrain.
Agano has been here for less than two weeks, and this night training has already been carried out twice, and she is still too naïve, full of thought that this place will be a sweet haven or something, only to find out that this place is simply hell!
Get up early every morning to exercise, train in the morning, train in the afternoon, and conduct emergency drills from time to time in the evening.
The night training lasted for a full hour, and when she returned to the dock, Agano felt like she was about to fall apart, would she collapse if she continued like this? However, Kan Lian and Fusang looked completely accustomed to it, and when they came back, they easily went to Luke's newly installed drainage equipment, which is the new bathroom, to take a bath, and went back to sleep leisurely.
It's hard to imagine, what kind of training did Ripple and Fuso go through, Agano really couldn't figure it out, Ripple just forget it, after all, it was a destroyer, and the speed was much faster than her, but what the hell was going on with Fuso, obviously she was a low-speed battleship, how could she come back one step ahead of her high-speed light cruiser.
And the skin of these two people is completely different from the same kind of ship girl she has seen in the Governor's Mansion and the previous town guard mansion before.,The skin is dark.,It looks like a ship girl from the tropics.,And the eye color of Fuso is completely different from her same type of ship girl.,I've never heard of a Fuso-class ship girl with white eyes?
Coming out of the bathhouse, Agano dragged his tired body back to the bedroom, and fell asleep with his head on the pillow, but he felt that he hadn't slept for long, and he was called up by Lian again, and he heard words that made her a little broken.
"Agano, get up and do morning exercises."
Ah——!h Don't! When is this kind of day the end of the day?
……
"Well, yes, yes, Aheno, you've been doing well these days, although you'll be a little tired at first, but it's good to get used to it." Luke said to Agano as he ate, apparently in poor spirits.
"Yes." Agano replied weakly, her voice was obviously not as energetic as when she first came, it sounded like she was exhausted, but in fact it was about the same, although she was now recovering from physical fatigue, but this fatigue was mental, and when it came to the weekend, she didn't want to move at all, and she couldn't wait to sleep until next week.
"Woohoo!" A cry came from above Agano's head, not because there was something wrong with her head, but because there was a little goblin lying on her stomach above her head at this time, in fact, Luke had noticed these little guys before, but not long ago these little things seemed to be a little scared of him, and they were always hiding in the armor of Fuso and Lian.
It seems that it is because there is one more person in the family, and the number of goblins is also a lot more, especially the ship girl manufacturing device and the ship manufacturing factory, as soon as Luke opened the box that day, a large number of goblins jumped out of the box.
It seems that because of the large number of people, a few little goblins who were originally a little timid would climb out of the ship's suits of Fusang every day to get some wind, and sometimes Luke could reach out and tease these little guys.
And the most strange thing is that Luke can actually understand the meaning of these little goblins' chirping voices, which makes Fusang very surprised, you must know that humans are completely unable to communicate with goblins, and the things that usually communicate with these little guys are done by the ship girls.
But this makes it easier for Luke, and he can communicate with these little things, and he can get these little guys to help him a lot in the shipbuilding factory.
After eating, Luke walked straight in the direction of the factory, yesterday he asked these little goblins to help build a thing, with which the signal tower or radar he built could be further functioned.
Fuso and a few people went to train as usual, with Fuso with them, Luke didn't have to worry about Lian being lazy or something, and Agano didn't have to worry about it, she had been honest since she came, and basically didn't cause any trouble to Fuso, although it would be a little drowsy at noon and it was not easy to wake up.
But after several emergency gatherings by Luke, this guy has also developed the habit of conditioned reflex, and will wake up immediately when he hears a scream or siren, but sometimes he will still be very confused.
"Morning, little ones, is the thing I asked you to make yesterday ready?" Handing the little ones a few pieces of candy, Luke asked them.
These little things seem to have a preference for sweets, but they seem to be able to survive without eating, and eating sweets is just a hobby, and a few goblins took the candy together, turned around and grabbed the mini whistle with a serious face.
Toot ——! Suddenly, the goblins in the shipbuilding factory ran one by one, controlling the tower cranes that looked like toys, and hoisted out a boxy iron box from the mini warehouse.
Luke raised his hand to take it, opened it and looked at the contents inside, and nodded with satisfaction, these little guys' craftsmanship is still quite reliable, but the premise is that you have a good relationship with these little things, and at the same time, you must clearly explain to them what you want before starting construction, otherwise you will only get a lot of unwanted equipment like other admirals.
Naturally, it is impossible for other admirals to communicate directly with the little goblins like Luke, and some people are about to ask, can't the ship mother communicate with these little guys, why don't the other admirals let their own ship girls communicate with these little things?
Hehe, this is indeed a way, but the premise is that your ship's mother must understand how to make ship equipment or what you need, otherwise the unclear end is still the same, in fact, most of the admirals don't know how to make weapons and equipment, and now it's all the ship's mother in front, and where else will make their own equipment, all of them will be handed over to those little goblins.
Throw a bunch of resources at them, and after a while, there will be a ship outfit to be manufactured, and with such a convenient method, who will rack their brains to develop equipment by themselves.
And after the global cataclysm, most of the military factories have closed their doors, and now it is good to be able to create some individual weapons, and so are the shipyards, and it is already the limit to build some small and medium-sized freighters.
Luke took the things in his hand, reached out and touched the heads of these little goblins, and then walked out with a lot of previously made brackets, with this thing in his hand, his radar can be used, and the next thing is to build the line and the main body.
Fortunately, his current body has been transformed by something that doesn't know what kind of energy it is, otherwise he would really be unbearable to carry so many things back and forth. Halfway through, I passed by the room where the shipyard was located and said hello to the little goblins.
It seems that the next time I go to the Governor's Palace, I will have to buy more other snacks or something, and I will have to buy more other food, and now I eat almost all of those things every day, although Fusang has turned over the tricks to cook, but the ingredients are only a few, and I will still get tired of eating too much.
Let's go fishing in the sea and catch some seafood or something, and think it's time to add food to today's lunch. Luke thought as he began to install the main body of the radar.
He used to build a new pedestal with stones next to the bunker at the top of the island, and the new radar will be erected here, although it looks very old and dilapidated, but now in this situation, it is already good to use it, how can there be a problem of whether it is better or not, and when there are enough materials in the future, let's beautify this thing, but by that time, maybe this simple radar will be eliminated.
While installing, Luke took the time to look at the three people who were training on the sea, he was now in a very high position, and the situation of the whole island could be seen at a glance, because he was now standing on the radar shelf, checking how strong this thing was, lest a sea breeze blow over this thing and it would fall.
But just as he turned his head and wanted to jump down, he suddenly vaguely saw something appear on the sea in the distance, not like the deep sea, but like a human cargo ship, and there was more than one, three cargo ships came in the direction of the island.
This is really strange, why is there another cargo ship coming here today, could it be that the Governor's Palace has sent him something again? No, no, no, it's impossible to think so, how could the Governor's Mansion send him something for no reason.
It's better to let Fusang and the others go over and take a look, anyway, they happen to be wearing ship uniforms now.
Luke, who thought of it, immediately shouted to Fuso, "Hey——! "Although there is an old base here, it is really troublesome to contact them after the ship's mother runs out, and the communication is basically based on yelling.
After Luke shouted a few times, Fusang and the others heard it, and Lian immediately shouted at Luke, "Master——! Can I help you! ”
"Check it out over there! It seems that a ship is coming! Luke, who yelled at the top of his voice, suddenly felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and he must get a few communicators or something in the future, and he seemed to see a mobile phone for sale at the Governor's Mansion last time.
But what Luke couldn't understand was that he even had a mobile phone, and it was a smart phone, so why was the radio specially distributed to him so old-fashioned, and he didn't even have a walkie-talkie.
