Chapter 3 Always Rejected
Through the three major pleasures, counting money, putting sisters, and getting rich for the second generation. The ancients didn't deceive me.
Xu Zhonglin thought while eating macaroni with tomato sauce, and at this moment, a fragrant breeze blew, it was Capreira.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you, teacher, it's all right, not next time."
"Sit down and say, you don't have to worry, everyone will have seasickness, it's just not serious. I think back then, when my admiral first got on the ship, he was even more dizzy than you. ”
"Oh? Did the teacher ever have an admiral? ”
Capreira pulled her long hair back and waited for Xu Zhonglin to glance at her: "Does the teacher look ugly?" Why can't there be a Commander? ”
"Is there still one?"
A trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, and quickly disappeared: "If there is still now, is there any need for the teacher to teach you little ghosts here?" ”
"Then why don't the teacher be my ship's mother, the prototype ship!"
"Haha, don't think you're telling a joke, I'll let you go at night, I looked at the sky, there should be Dafeng tonight, and I'll tie you to the mast when the time comes, if you want to be a commander, you still have a lot of tribulations......"
"What if I'm serious?"
Of course Xu Zhonglin is serious, if other admirals want to modify a ship, they first need to have drawings, and drawings are a scarce resource in the world of ship girls, and some are even treasures of the town. Even if there is a ready-made hull mapping, it is a huge project. But he has a hell pocket watch, and it's the coolest thing to cross the welfare gods. With cheats, of course, he doesn't look down on ships of the same position, and a prototype ship like Caprera is his ideal ship.
But Capreira only thought he was childish, and gently stroked his head: "Okay, I know you're comforting me, a thousand-ton cruiser, only one 120 guns, the instructor is okay, I really can't be someone else's shipwright." ”
Xu Zhonglin tried his best to make his voice appear sincere: "Capreira, I'm really serious, I hope you think about me." ”
Hou Scoop was immediately slapped in the face: "Wake up!" Boy, you're the best student I've taught in the past fifty years, I'll introduce you to a few prototype ships, don't waste your strength on me, you know, as the shipwright of the city-state alliance, it's impossible for you to sign a contract with me as a foreigner. ”
Seeing that there was really no hope, Xu Zhonglin changed his ridiculous tone: "Oh, how many years has the teacher taught students?" ”
"One Hundred ...... I hate it! How can the age of the teacher be asked by the student? ”
"Doesn't the teacher really envy a shipwreck like Agamemnon?"
Agamemnon was the last pre-dreadnought battleship ever built by the British, with a displacement of 18,000 tons, a speed of 18 knots, and four 305 mm guns. It's so weak in the world of the ship's mother, but after fifty years of unremitting efforts, her admiral just transformed her hull into the world's pinnacle warship hull with 55,000 tons, 31 knots, and nine 406 mm guns last month. The strength has increased more than a thousand times, and it is the existence that every ship girl has envied in recent times.
"Envy, this is fate, every ship's mother has her own destiny, you are still young, don't talk about this. But in the next few months of internship, do you want to give me a good performance, and there will be surprises for my performance? ”
"What surprise?"
"It doesn't work if you say it."
In the evening, when he came to the port, Xu Zhonglin's class of cadets came to the port, according to the regulations, the midshipman and the ship's mother should work together in pairs, and the ship's mother assigned to Xu Zhonglin was the destroyer engineer.
Don't look at the name of the Engineer is not very good, but it is Xu Zhonglin's best ship, although it is the same ship, it has not weaker than the A-class growth of the prototype ship, the hull is from the soldier class, as a destroyer The displacement of 2,600 tons is more than twice that of the Caprera as a cruiser, four 120mm guns, plus six 533mm torpedo tubes, and a speed of 38 knots, which is currently the top destroyer configuration in the world.
With such a good hull, the engineer who is the ship's mother is of course very sought-after, as early as her first year of school, many long-famous admirals have sent invitations to her. Xu Zhonglin naturally knew that this arrangement must have been deliberately taken care of by Capreira, but she was destined to be disappointed.
As soon as he boarded the neat and beautiful hull, the engineer saluted Xu Zhonglin: "Welcome, Admiral Xu." ”
It's Admiral, not Admiral. This made Xu Zhonglin very disappointed, although it was only a temporary title, but it could also see people's attitudes. So he didn't bother to say anything, and when he entered the bridge, he stood in the corner quietly drinking coffee and waiting for the voyage.
But the sapper really didn't seem to have a tacit understanding with him: "Student Xu, Teacher Capreira has told me, but I already have my favorite admiral, I hope you can understand, so I'm sorry." ”
Sister, you're too direct, right?
"Oh? Can you be lucky enough to know who is so honored to be favored by Miss Sapper? ”
"It's His Excellency Cato Miroloda. He promised me that after graduation, he would help me rebuild the hull and increase the tonnage. Their family has the hull drawings of the Mogador-class destroyer, which is a 4,000-ton destroyer! And eight 138-mm guns! And 10 550-mm torpedo tubes! And 43 knots! The ultimate dream of every destroyer girl! ”
The more the sister paper talked, the more excited she became, and sure enough, when it came to the graduation season, even the cute ship girls became realistic. Xu Zhonglin wanted to say, sister, I also have the transformation drawings of the Mogador-class destroyer, you can mix with me. But the crime of unexplained origin of huge wealth on Earth may be just a prison sentence, and in this world of military dominance, it often means the destruction of humanity. Although he didn't really have much interest in the sappers, it was a little sad to be rejected so bluntly, dignified traverser. So I can only comfort myself in my heart: it is appropriate to be rejected if you are too handsome.
As if he reacted, what he said was a little excessive, and the engineer hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, although I can't be your ship's wife, but I will fully cooperate with you in the next mission, you are a good admiral, and you will definitely find your own ship's mother." ”
Sister paper! You're stabbing me in the chest, sprinkling salt on it, and then charcoal grilling, do you want some oyster sauce? I'm embarrassed that the terminal cancer dies on your ship in minutes, do you believe it?
Fortunately, Capreira arrived at the dock with a large group of shipwives, and the sappers began to receive Caprela's message with full attention. I saw that the sapper closed his eyes and stared, as if he was concentrating all his energy, and his mouth was full of words, as if he was repeating the words of others: "Attention all the ship's mothers, now ...... grouping"
Xu Zhonglin was a little curious, this kind of transmission of ideas looked very lofty.
After a long while, the sapper opened his eyes: "I'm sorry, Admiral Xu, I've kept you waiting, I'm not very skilled in this method of receiving messages, and it's a little difficult." Fortunately, after the task was completed, we were divided into three groups, I was the flagship of the three groups, and a new teacher would come and take us later. ”
"What's the farthest you can get a radio like this?" Xu Zhonglin is more interested in things like black technology.
The sapper apparently did not know what he was talking about, and some did not know how to answer: "I can receive information within about a hundred nautical miles, but it is vague if it is too far away, but with exercise, the distance can be extended." ”
At this time, another very gentle voice sounded: "You actually know the radio? ”
