Chapter 38: Exploration and Discovery
Just as Yan Feng was stuffing things into the communication channel of the Central Research Department, Richelieu's communication suddenly came.
'Admiral, Richelieu has a report. β
'Is something wrong?' Yan Feng responded.
No, it's about the deep sea near the resource point. The depths of the sea only seem to move around the resource island, and we try to lure them out, only to get out of range and turn back. β
Yan Feng thought for a moment and said, 'Is there any attempt to separate them, is it feasible?' β
It's been tested, and it works. We can isolate the deep sea on a small scale and eliminate it, as long as the movement is not too large, the surrounding deep sea will not be noticed. β
'Very good, then continue to destroy the small deep-sea formations in the deep sea, pay attention to safety, and retreat immediately if there is a large force. Yan Feng said.
'Understood! β
After the end of the call with Richelieu, Yan Feng thought for a while, and then took the initiative to connect to Xiao's communication, "Xiao, how is the situation over there?" β
'Admiral? We are continuing to explore the waters to the east and have not found any anomalies so far. β
'Well, I have an idea to work hard for you, you don't have to come back at noon and continue to explore the east, until you reach the boundary of our town guard on the chart, and then you will come back first, whether you find it or not, can you do it?' β
'Yes! Rest assured, leave it to Lord Xiao. Xiao replied with still full of energy.
'Thank you for your hard work, stay safe. β
Later, Yan Feng asked Z1 about the situation and informed him of the same instructions.
"Admiral, have you received a communication from anyone? Something happened. Lexington asked after seeing Yan Feng come back to his senses.
"It's Richelieu's report on the deep sea at the resource point, which seems to only operate within a certain range centered on the island, and I asked them to separate small groups of deep-sea forces to eliminate them one by one. After that, the two flagships of the exploration team were informed, and they were told to explore all the way to the edge of the sea on the east and west sides of our town guard. Yan Feng turned his head and explained to Lexington.
"Yes, Richelieu is good news. If you can destroy the deep sea of that island in batches, it will be much easier to attack the core area in the future. As for the exploration team, why did the Admiral let them explore to the edge of the sea? β
"I was just wondering if the other two resource points would be far away from the home island, so I asked them to explore the edge. If you don't get anything today, you can continue to explore the north-south direction tomorrow, and after exploring the four major directions, you can conduct a carpet search in the sea area of the town's Shoufu, which will be more efficient. "This exploration method is the method that Yan Feng liked to use when he played Diablo 2 in his previous life, first poking out the edge and then exploring along the edge to the middle, but this time it was the other way around.
"I see, then only the five of us will have dinner at the town guard mansion at noon." Lexington said with a smile.
"yes, that way you can make it easier." Yan Feng reached out and held his wife's hand and said.
"It's not easy, it's not easy, as a secretary ship, this is what I should do." Lexington's face turned slightly red, but he still boldly shook Yan Feng's hand back.
"Actually, in the future, we should let everyone be responsible for some of the things in the town guard mansion, and it's too hard to hand over all of them to you. Just like Zeppelin will be in charge of teaching destroyers and submarines in the future, I plan to let Helena manage the life of the destroyer in the future, and let them be in charge of the canteen if Yixian and Pinghai Ninghai come back in the future. In short, the responsibility will be shared with everyone, and you will not be affected alone. Yan Feng patted Lexington's hand and said softly.
"Admiral...... Thank you. Lexington said movingly.
Being held by Yan Feng and staring at him affectionately, Lexington's face began to turn redder and redder, and a sweet atmosphere gradually created in the room.
Under the rendering of this atmosphere, even Brother Yan Feng knew what to do, and after Lexington raised his head slightly and closed his eyes nervously, Yan Feng kissed Lexington's delicate red lips.
After a long time, Yan Feng and his wife were flushed, and the two leaned against each other with their foreheads, enjoying this sweet moment.
At noon, everyone gathered in the cafeteria to prepare for dinner, but only the north house was missing. Yan Feng knew that the old problem of the dry girl had flares up again, so he could only run to the dormitory of the North Mansion and forcibly pull her to the cafeteria.
"Madam, we have to make a rule in the future. No matter what you are doing with breakfast, lunch and dinner, as long as you are in the town guard house, you must come to the canteen to eat together, and those who violate this rule will be punished with a day of cleaning the town guard house. Although Yan Feng said this to Lexington, his eyes kept staring at the North House.
"What a trouble, Admiral, can't you bring food to my room?" Beizhai said weakly lying on the dining table.
"No, everyone has to go to the cafeteria to eat, and if you continue like this, everyone will unconsciously isolate you." Yan Feng's eyes became a little worried when he looked at Beizhai.
"Okay, I got it. The Admiral is really worried. Beizhai said impatiently, but a trace of warmth flashed imperceptibly in her eyes.
"Admiral, you're still too fond of her. I don't know if this otaku will get better when Bismarck comes back in the future. Zeppelin said helplessly.
"Hee-hee, the Admiral is such a gentle person. I really like this kind of admiral. Princeton snickered and teased.
"Okay, let's eat, it's time for you to attack tomorrow, let's get ready first," Yan Feng said after changing the topic.
ββββββββ dividing line of the return of the ship's motherββββββββ
In the afternoon, Yan Feng took care of some paperwork such as the statistics and inventory of the town guard with the assistance of Lexington, and when Richelieu and the team returned first, Lexington had already gone to prepare dinner while Yan Feng was still checking the charts.
"Admiral, Richelieu has led the team back smoothly."
Yan Feng raised his head, looked at the four of them, and asked, "You're not injured, are you?" If someone is injured, go to the ditch first, and report it later. β
"Brother-in-law, Gagar is dead. I am an aircraft carrier in the team, reconnaissance, enemy search, air strikes, everything has to be done, and I applied to stay in the town with my sister to guard the mansion. After the sister-in-law came back, she immediately threw herself into Yan Feng's arms and complained coquettishly.
"Okay, brother-in-law promises you. Princeton will rotate with you tomorrow, and by the way, you're not injured, right? Yan Feng hugged the aggrieved sister-in-law and said with concern.
"Brother-in-law is the best! Gaga wasn't hurt, just tired, but Prince Eugen suffered a minor injury to protect us. Saratoga cheered when she heard that she didn't have to go out tomorrow, and then reported to Yan Feng.
"Prince Eugen, you go to the ditch first. Report that there is Richelieu here, you don't have to worry. Yan Feng said thoughtfully to Prince Eugen.
"Thank you, Admiral, then I'll go to the ditch first." Prince Eugen was very touched by Yan Feng's concern, and Richelieu didn't have to worry about the report, so he went to repair the canal first.
"Helena, how are you, you're not hurt, are you?" Yan Feng continued to shush Helena.
"It's okay Admiral, I'm mainly in charge of reconnaissance and anti-submarine, and I have basically not been attacked." Helena replied with a smile.
"Alright, then, Richelieu, you can start reporting." After finishing his care for the ship's girls, Yan Feng's face became serious and said to Richelieu.
"Yes! Today, we have eliminated the deep sea in batches in the waters around the resource point, a total of 8 destroyers, 6 light cruisers, 4 submarines, 2 heavy cruisers and 2 light aircraft carriers, and about half of the deep sea around the island has been eliminated, and it is expected that if we continue tomorrow, we will be able to clear the entire periphery of the island and enter the core area. Report complete! Richelieu reported in a serious manner.
"Good, but I'm going to rotate the strikers tomorrow. In addition to retaining Helena, Princeton, Zeppelin, and Tirpitz replaced the other three, with Tirpitz as the flagship. Helena, I want you to work hard for another day, and the day after tomorrow will take your turn to rest. Yan Feng said.
"It's okay with me, Admiral, please arrange it according to your ideas." Helena said with a calm smile.
"Order received." Richelieu said.
"Great, I can finally play with my sister tomorrow." Gaga cheered when he saw that he had finally returned to his true nature after talking about business.
"Lexington is going to help me with the affairs of the town guard tomorrow, where can I have time to play with you." Yan Feng looked at the excited Saratoga and said helplessly with cold water.
"Huh? My sister has to handle official business? Then I'm here to help. Saratoga's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she volunteered to help.
"Uh, are you okay?" A little uneasy about the sister-in-law's cheerful personality, Yan Feng asked hesitantly.
"The Admiral is too much! Anyway, I'm also the second ship of the Lexington class, and I can do what my sister can do! Saratoga puffed out her cheeks and said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, then I'll ask my dear sister-in-law tomorrow." Yan Feng shook his head amusedly and said.
Saratoga immediately changed her face when she heard it, and ran to Yan Feng's side excitedly, hugged Yan Feng's face and kissed her, "Hehe, I knew that my brother-in-law would agree, and you will expect Gaga's help tomorrow." I will definitely help you solve everything perfectly. β
'No problem, right?' Yan Feng always felt a little uneasy when he looked at Saratoga.
Later, Richelieu also took Helena and Saratoga to the drainage room to take a bath to relieve their fatigue.
At this time, Z1 and Xiao sent a message almost at the same time, informing them that they had returned to the town guard mansion and were on their way to the office.
After Z1 and Xiao led the team into the office respectively, Yan Feng first cared about whether everyone was injured as usual, and was a lot more relieved after learning that the two teams had not encountered the deep sea along the way.
After that, Z1 and Xiao reported separately that it was a pity that both teams reached the east-west border, but no resource points were found along the way, but there were some desert islands that did not have much value.
"Thank you for your hard work, tomorrow I will continue to trouble you to search the north and south directions separately, and the day after tomorrow I can let you rest in the town guard mansion for a day, please." Yan Feng smiled and walked up to Z1 and Xiao and touched their heads respectively.
Then I received a completely different reaction, Z1 lowered his head a little shyly, but did not express any dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy Yan Feng's head touching.
Xiao is shouted, "Admiral, don't touch my head, Lord Xiao is not a child anymore, don't touch my head." If the Admiral really wants a reward, it's better to hug it. β
"Haha, hug it." Yan Feng hugged Xiao with a smile and said.
"The Admiral is unfair, why only hug Sister Xiao, and you have to hug Dian." "Z16 is going to be the Admiral touching his head." "Although Ray doesn't want it, he can't be left out alone, especially allow the Admiral to hug it." "Trust also wants Comrade Admiral's embrace full of socialist care." The destroyers all made their own claims.
After that, Yan Feng happily met the requirements of the little Lori, only Z31, a traitor to elementary school students, was more shy. However, Yan Feng still used a head touch on her, and Z31 also accepted it with a red face.
In the end, of course, it was left for Yan Feng's favorite firefly, Yan Feng walked to the firefly and hugged her up and said, "Okay, since the business has been done, then you go to the ditch to eliminate fatigue first, and I will personally carry the firefly to the dormitory." β
"Okay, let's go. The Admiral departs! The fireflies shouted happily in Yan Feng's arms.
"The Admiral is eccentric." Xiao pouted and said.
"No way, who let the Firefly be the initial ship of the Admiral, she accompanied the Admiral through the first difficult period, and it is not surprising that the Admiral prefers her." Denki said with a grin behind his back.
After accompanying the destroyers all the way into the dormitory, Yan Feng asked them to go to the canal by themselves, and he went back to the kitchen to help Lexington prepare dinner, and then everyone who came back from the canal went to the cafeteria to have a lively dinner, and the day ended like this.
