Chapter Twenty-Four: The Idol of the Fleet, Nake-chan!
One. an hour.
See this time. Lillian was immediately stupid. Having built it many times, she knew what it meant. This is definitely a light patrol without thinking about it. At the beginning of the Heavenly Dragon. There is also the construction time of the two of them in Kawauchi. Isn't it just a full hour?
Seeing Lillian's albino expression now, she was about to die. Luke turned his head and tugged at the corners of his mouth. Hm. I thought this guy was a European. I didn't expect it to be any better.
There are quick-build devices that you can buy from the elves. The countdown to construction displayed on the large construction device is rapidly decreasing. But only for four or five seconds. The timer on the console screen is already at zero. The hatch cover of the construction device was also lifted automatically.
I saw a figure come out of it. There are two dumplings combed on the head. There is also the same uniform as Kawauchi. Luke suddenly felt like he wanted to cover his face. Lillian this guy. I'm really unlucky.
"The idol of the fleet. That's a sauce. Please advise. "Just walked out of the construction pod. Nake just waved his hand and said. I saw Lillian lying on the ground with a frustrated body bending forward. Suddenly I didn't understand what the situation was.
"Ahh Admiral, what's wrong with you. Nake looked down. I saw that Lillian was looking at her with tears in her eyes at this time. Biting his lip, he held back the tears that flowed.
See this. Naturally, Luke shrugged. Smoked and walked away. It's better to let this guy spend some money to buy a lesson. It's not that easy. Anyway, he won't go to the big construction himself. Just think about how to transform Fusang and these ship girls. Even if Yamato or Musashi was really made.
Now it's not as good as Fusang after his transformation. After all, the technology gap is just too big. It's just that the armor is thick. Naval guns are powerful, but they can't make up for the gap between these times.
But if it's Yamato them. Maybe it will be stronger than Fuso after the transformation. Of course, the premise is that Luke must have Yamato first. Otherwise, it's useless to say anything. He didn't want to run to Dajian without incident. In case of failure of a major construction. I built several Fuso mountain castles or Ise or something.
What does this make him do. Ruthlessly sent them all to Reutt to await their distribution. It doesn't seem to be ruthless at all.
……
As Luke went into work mode again. Time flies again. The two cargo ships were quickly built by the teamwork of Luke and the elves. In addition to this, there are some parts of the two excavation bases. Most of it has already been done.
It was also early October. Later this month. The autumn deep-sea season is almost about to begin. So it's best to be just before the middle of the month. All the resources that were going to be sent to William's side were sent over. Then prepare all the materials to be traded with the Moon Roundabout Island this time.
Luke thought it was time for William to send a few people over to help. These things. Now it's almost all his ship's wife doing it. It takes up quite a bit of time. These days are coming. Several of them have also been transformed. Now I'm also starting to help Agano and the others deal with the digging base and the oil well.
The next batch to be transformed is Ya Ji and a few of them. Oh. There are also Tone and Tsukuma. Kaohsiung and Atago are a little worse. The words of the destroyer. The three of them are also enough. I'm just waiting for Akashi to transform them one by one.
Compared to Luke. Akashi's renovation was noticeably slower. One day can transform two ship girls. Today is already the time of the Yazu. Yesterday it was the dragon that was transformed. Today it's Yatsu and Natori's turn.
Shikibo and Lingbo are also very hard-working. It is estimated that there will definitely be two of them in the next batch of lists that can be transformed. It seems to be seeing that everyone else is trying so hard. The two of them are also working hard.
Some extra steel from the warehouse. Luke had also moved to the island next to the base. He's going to build a big warehouse and a dock over there. Specially designed to park cargo ships. When the time comes, William will be able to send someone to live next to him. Then there will be no need for Luke to bring people to move all that steel and stuff around.
It's nice to see the progress of the work. Luke was also quite satisfied. This was followed by the establishment of several new mining bases. Then you can gather a few key materials. Then we were able to retrofit both ships.
As for those messes on the Western continent. He didn't want to deal with it at all. It's a real headache. He also didn't want to see the kind of situation he had seen in the research before.
He was a little afraid that he couldn't help it. I couldn't help but blow up all the other party into the sky. He didn't do this kind of thing once or twice. But those are not very important. Or an abandoned planet that threatens some colonized planets.
All in all, the starting point is good. It's just that the means are a bit direct. And there is no such device now. There are quite a few things it takes to make a planet explode directly. Not yet.
……
Watching Luke go about every day. I can't help much. Fuso also has some feelings that he doesn't seem to be able to play a big role. These are the things that Luke does. Expansion of the base. Build new cargo ships. Establish a new mining base. It does seem to be expanding the size of the Castle Guard's Mansion.
But she always had a feeling. These are the things that Luke does. It does seem to be the Admiral's job. Gather strength to resist the deep sea. But now there are already a few southern women in the family, who are originally the shipwives of deep-sea habitat ships.
It always feels like he's doing something now. It's all something that other Admirals simply can't do. The goal of these things also made her a little strange. Luke has now built two big ships in quick succession. What exactly is to be done.
Why has it now been able to successfully cross the dense blockade zone of the deep sea? But there was no satisfaction in Luke's mind. It seems that his goal has not yet been reached. What the hell is the Admiral going to do?
"Fuso. Feed. Fuso. Luke stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Fuso's eyes. This guy. He was stunned for staring at him. He's been around for a long time.
"Huh. Admiral. What's wrong. Luke shouted. Fuso is finally back to his soul. Seeing that Luke was already standing in front of him. I asked a little embarrassed.
"Well. Nothing. Look like you're out of shape. Isn't it a little too tired lately? "I saw that Fusang was a little absent-minded. Luke wondered if she was getting a little tired lately. It's better to give them a holiday.
"Uh. No. Just a few things came to mind. Fuso smiled. Said to Luke. "That's right. Admiral ......"
I saw the expression on Fuso's face that wanted to speak and stopped. Luke raised an eyebrow. "Say it. What's the matter. Is something wrong? "That's definitely what happened. Otherwise, Fuso would definitely not show such an expression.
"Uh. In fact. Admiral. I've been thinking about it lately. These things you've been doing lately. It must feel a little out of the Admiral's scope. Do you want to do something else? "I remembered the plot I saw from the TV series. The Admiral is doing this now. Is it to set up some kind of organization? And then the formation of the state or something.
Isn't that what it's written in it? The protagonist secretly accumulates strength. And then suddenly there was a blockbuster. Instantly crush all enemies. And then stand at the pinnacle of life and something like that. She always felt that the things Luke was doing now were just a bit like that.
"Hmm. Why do you suddenly ask this. I heard Fuso ask. Luke is also a little weird. Immediately scratched his scalp and said.
"Nope. No. Just think. These things you've done lately. It looks a little similar to the plot in the TV series. Do you want to too. Forehead. Build a nation or something. Fuso said. He looked up at Luke's expression.
"Huh. How to say that. "I heard Fuso say that. Luke also had some disconnection in his head. What the hell is the creation of a state. At most, it's just a matter of building a company. Now they're doing the same thing as a company. Anyway, it's all about selling resources in exchange for money to buy everyday supplies. And there is still some surplus in the amount of money. It's no different from the company's profitability.
"Yes. The two ships you've built now. And those weapons on board. Probably already. It's already easy to suppress the Star Thieves or the Moon Roundabout. Are you going to overthrow the people who control there? This kind of ......," Fuso said. Carefully watched Luke's expression. Hopefully, some clues can be seen in Luke's face.
But as soon as Luke heard Fusang say this. I felt like my head was big for a while. "How did you come up with that? That's a bit outrageous, isn't it? We're in the current situation. At most, it's like building a company. How did you think of building a state. That's not something a few of us can manage. He waved his hand. Luke said with a frown.
Fuso: That's a little too much. Where did you think of it?
"Huh. Isn't it. I heard Luke say that. Fuso was also a little surprised. But it's more reassuring. After all, if Luke really wanted to do that. She wondered if she could stay behind Luke. But suddenly I remembered that Luke seemed to have said the word 'company' just now. My heart thumped again.
Hurriedly continued to ask. "Company. Are you looking to set up a company? "My heart is also beating a drum. This is the case when you open a company. What was she going to do? I don't know if she'll be able to do the new job.
Fuso, however, had never had the idea of leaving Luke's side. I just wondered if I could continue to follow in Luke's footsteps. After all...... Hm. It's a little embarrassing to think about that time.
