Chapter 17: Regaining Your Mind
In the hall, there was an endless stream of admirals and ship wives coming and going. Most of them were in a hurry, coming in and handing over the task and leaving without any intention of staying here.
"Has the task been carried out so efficiently all the time?"
Mo Yan was a little curious, judging from the current situation in the mission hall, if there were so many admirals and ship girls who were so active in carrying out the mission, how did the air attack on Ishitanor happen a few days ago?
"Of course not!"
Tianlong pinched his chin and stood under the task wall, examining the task list on the wall one by one, trying to pick out the combat missions that were more suitable for Quincy to complete alone.
"Before the last airstrike, the city was deserted. After all, Ishutenor is a city that has been peaceful for a long time, and has not been attacked by the deep sea for more than a decade. β
"Hey, that's a good task, it's a good fit for Quincy."
Raising his hand, he took out a task list from the task wall and handed it to Mo Yan, Tianlong continued the previous topic and said:
"After more than 10 years of stable life, it is natural that we will slack off on the reconnaissance and defense of the deep sea."
"In the past, the personnel in charge of this intelligence center were less than one-fifth of the current one, and there were only three aircraft carrier mothers who were responsible for conducting reconnaissance in the surrounding waters."
"Three shifts, you know? The only three aircraft carrier mothers have to be divided into three shifts to take turns on duty, and only one ship girl is working in each shift, and the time on duty each time is six hours. β
"In other words, even if the three ship girls are rotated, they only work eighteen hours a day."
"I've also seen them work, they go to the top floor to fly a few reconnaissance planes every day as if they were dealing with errands, and then they go to the duty room on the second floor to drink tea, read newspapers, and be in a daze, and sometimes even sleep directly on the table, anyway, as long as they get off work."
"I envied their job at the time, doing nothing for a day, and the salary was not much lower than when I worked the front line."
Regarding Tianlong's words that were like ridicule, Mo Yan frowned after hearing it, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts a little. didn't rush to look at the task list in hand, but first expressed his doubts to Tianlong:
"The ship's mother will also have this kind of work attitude?"
"Why wouldn't the ship's mother have this kind of work attitude, slack and laziness are not terms exclusive to human beings."
Tianlong sneered disdainfully, and looked at Mo Yan with caring eyes, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Boy, don't use your ignorance to speculate about the ship's mother! Although we are weapons, we also have our own personality and emotions, and we can experience joys and sorrows, as well as taste the ups and downs. β
"The ship's mother is a weapon, not a machine! Machines don't get lazy, but ships do! β
"I think you have been brainwashed and washed too much by the group of people in the navy, and you actually think that the ship's mother is really the embodiment of truth, kindness and beauty."
"The ship's mother is a weapon used to fight against the deep sea, and she is destined to fight and fight by birth! The muzzle of the ship's mother can be aimed at the deep sea, and naturally it can also be aimed at humans, what do you think the Federation will do to train you admirals with the power of the whole country? Delicious food and drink are provided to you, and you are given such a high position of power, just to let you open a harem with the beautiful builder of the ship? β
"There is a big difference in treatment between a shipwright with a commander and a shipwreck without a admiral, why do you think that?"
"It's either white or black, how can there be such a simple world!"
"Stop dreaming!"
Tianlong snatched the task list from Mo Yan's hand, and regardless of whether Mo Yan had read the task content on it or not, he walked directly to the counter and began to register the task.
"The so-called ship mother, is it really as Tianlong said?"
Tianlong's words made Mo Yan's three views suffer a great blow, and he was so confused that he subconsciously turned his head to look at Quincy beside him.
"Ahh The blue-haired girl raised Mo Yan's hand, which was held in the crook of her arm, and then bit it down.
There was a tingling pain in her arm, and this time the girl bit much harder than the previous one.
But Mo Yan didn't shout or jump because of this tingling pain, but realized a lot of things because of it.
Smiling at the blue-haired girl with a resolute expression, Mo Yan stretched out his left hand that had not been bitten and touched the girl's head.
"I see, thank you, Quincy!"
In front of the counter on the other side, Tianlong, who was holding his hands, looked at the staff registering the task list for her expressionlessly, his eyes were focused on the list, but he was thinking about the conversation with Mo Yan before.
"Hurry up and recognize the reality, boy, people who are too naΓ―ve can't survive in this cruel world."
Ship mothers can't read minds, but they can sense human emotions through the Maiin Force Field, especially the Admirals who also have the Mai T Force Field.
This perception is not delicate or exhaustive, but it is enough to distinguish something simple.
For example, whether human beings are sincere when they treat themselves.
Tianlong didn't know what kind of existence he was in Mo Yan's heart, because Mo Yan had never expressed to her emotions that he could directly perceive with the Mai Yin force field.
But she knew that Mo Yan was sincere to Aisha, and because she was sincerely worried about Aisha's safety, she chose to send Aisha home. Even if he didn't use the Maint force field too deliberately, Mo Yan's sincerity towards Aisha was sensed by Tianlong when he first saw him.
It is precisely because of this that Tianlong is willing to recommend Mo Yan to become a naval admiral, and is willing to spare more than half of his already modest vacation time to guide Mo Yan to grow into a qualified naval admiral.
As his understanding of Mo Yan deepened, Tianlong became more and more worried about Mo Yan, his various thoughts and attitudes were incompatible with this world, like a person who came out of some hidden utopia, too naΓ―ve and optimistic.
It is very difficult and even dangerous to survive in this cruel world with this attitude of life, and Tianlong feels that he must wake up Mo Yan so that he can truly realize the cruelty of the world.
That's why I said what I just said to Mo Yan.
But there is one thing that Tianlong didn't say, although the ship girls are not the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty, but they yearn for truth, goodness and beauty. They care more about what they value in their hearts than their status as weapons.
For example, Aisha, who is not yet the Admiral of the Dragon.
"The list is registered, the mission type is a combat mission, and the execution time of the mission is seven hours. If the mission is not completed within the specified time, we will re-dispatch the ship to clean up the mission objective, and at the same time, one-third of the mission reward merit will be deducted as a penalty. β
The staff at the counter handed the registered task list to Tianlong.
"Thank you." Draco took the checklist, and then stepped back to the side of the mission wall.
After coming to the edge of the mission wall, Tianlong found out where Mo Yan was pointing at the mission wall with Quincy, as if he still wanted to receive a combat mission.
"Is it registered? What is the mission? Mo Yan saw Tianlong returning with the task list, so he asked about the task, just now he patronized and listened to Tianlong talking, and he didn't have time to read the content on the task list.
"Clearing a stretch of water forty nautical miles to the southeast, where it used to be a shipping lane, but now there is a small team of deep sea entrenched there, and it needs to be cleared as soon as possible."
Tianlong handed the registered task list to Mo Yan, feeling a little strange in his heart, his words just now obviously hit him, why did it only take so little to return to normal?
"Well, I'll see, the number of targets is eleven, five deep-sea light cruisers and six deep-sea expulsions. The strength of the force field is D-level, which means that it is all white-skinned! β
Mo Yan took the list and looked at it, then handed it to Quincy.
"The distance in the sea area of this mission is very close, you go and return quickly. I'd like to wait here for a while and see if there will be any new missions worth posting, so I won't go to the operations command room. β
"Quincy understands!" The girl put her feet together, gave a military salute to Mo Yan, and then ran out with her task list.
Mo Yan pinched his chin and continued to patrol the mission wall back and forth, looking for suitable combat missions one by one.
"Yo, what's wrong with you? It's changed so much, it feels like something terrible happened when I left just now! β
For Mo Yan's current state of mind, Tianlong was very curious, did he really stimulate Mo Yan just now?
"How can so many amazing things happen! I just figured something out. β
As he spoke, Mo Yan raised his hand and took a task list from the task wall, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, then handed it to Tianlong.
"Help, can you take this task? Quincy's current merit is not enough to take on the task, can you help take it? β
"It's good to figure it out, those who do the admiral's line of work are most afraid of drilling the horns. If you can't think about it, your ship's mother will also follow you and can't think about it, and a lot of trouble comes like this. β
Tianlong took the task list and looked at it, and his expression immediately became stern.
"The number of targets is nine, three deep-sea heavy cruisers, four deep-sea light cruisers, and two deep-sea expulsions. The target force field strength is D. β
"Mo Yan! Do you think it's great to complete two missions? The second mission is still in the works! β
"It's good to have self-confidence, but there's a price to be paid for being overconfident!"
"Didn't we say that we would let Quincy gradually adapt to the intensity of the battle, and let her grow step by step?"
"Do you know that one of your mistakes in judgment is likely to sink your ship's mother directly!"
It seems that after this task list, Tianlong is simply angry, she thought that her words would make Mo Yan understand the cruelty of this world, but who knew that it had fueled his innocence.
In Tianlong's eyes, Quincy is very powerful, yes, but after all, she is a newly built ship girl, and it is nothing to bully the deep sea light patrol and expel her, but the deep sea heavy patrol is still a little threatening to her.
"Please believe me, and please believe Quincy, Teacher Tianlong!"
"How strong Quincy is, I have actually always known, and you should also understand this Tianlong teacher."
"It's just that I've been running away before, and I've made Quincy suffer a lot of grievances."
"But just now, Mr. Tianlong, you and Quincy woke me up together, since I have come here, I should live my true posture. As the commander of the hegemony, I was actually thinking about obscene development and growth before, and I was really ashamed of my ship girls. β
Mo Yan looked directly into Tianlong's eyes and said with great certainty:
"Quincy is really strong, please trust her!"
