Chapter 5: Ambition
Capreira stood on the deck and slowly sipped her tea: "How's the little one?" Still satisfying you? ”
Princess Sissi walked over from behind: "How can this guy be as honest as you say, he actually knows Italy, the Mediterranean, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, these are things that are strictly forbidden to be revealed by the prototype ship mother." And the little guy seems to know more about the difference between the same ship and the prototype ship than I do. ”
"Oh? Are you mistaken? ”
"What do you think?"
"It shouldn't be, those things are revealed, it's not good for the current human race, the main task now is the deep sea, there is news coming back from the front, the deep sea is becoming more and more active, it seems that something is brewing, many companions feel the urgency, I also have a bad premonition, so Sissi, you and Maria also have to prepare, no matter how the human race fights, it's better for the two of you not to participate, Austria-Hungary can't go back, and it's the same for life here." The little guy is very good, and he has a victory pocket watch, and the academy will help him contract two ship girls, which is very suitable for you two sisters, and he is from the Eastern Empire, which is just right to keep you two out of the whirlpool. ”
"Don't worry, I won't be involved. However, although Teresa and I are cruisers, we are only 4,000 tons, and the current speed of the ship is 20 knots, and there are not many tasks that can be performed, are you really not afraid that the two of us will drag down your students? ”
"Just take your time, Agamemnon can modify, why can't you?"
"I don't dare to hope, that kind of great admiral is not something that every shipwreck is fortunate enough to meet, and I'm about to set sail again, I'll go back."
When Princess Sissi returned to the hull of the Sapper, she found that Xu Zhonglin was comparing the difference between her own sailing route and the sailing route chosen by the fleet this time.
"What? Is there anything you don't understand? ”
Xu Zhonglin stretched his waist: "It's a lot." ”
"Oh? What are they? "Princess Sissi is a little puzzled, it shouldn't be, it is said that the little guy has a good academic performance, although this kind of thing is cumbersome for the admiral, it should not be difficult. Is this guy not worthy of his name?
"For example, why can't a cruiser be converted into a battleship? For example, why are you pretending to be an instructor from Italy? ”
"How do you know I'm just here? If you answer me, I will answer you. Princess Sissi was a little curious, her head was unconsciously tilted to the side, revealing a look of inquiry, although that incident caused a lot of turmoil, but it was definitely not something that a small Naval Academy cadet could know.
The corners of Xu Zhonglin's mouth twitched, revealing a wicked smile: "It's not a good phenomenon for a lady to be curious about a gentleman." ”
Princess Sissi immediately showed an aggrieved expression: "Your Excellency, making fun of a lady is not the behavior that a gentleman should have. ”
"Haha, actually, it's very simple, clothes."
Princess Sissi didn't understand, she looked at herself, unconsciously turned around, and didn't find anything wrong with her dress: "Where is it?" ”
"The skirt, you're clearly wearing a Victorian style, and here, it's more Renaissance style."
At this time, Princess Sissi was really shocked, and she unconsciously opened her mouth wide: "Who are you?" ”
"Haha, this expression is really rude, but it's cute. As for who I am, does it matter? I'm not Franz Joseph anyway. ”
Xu Zhonglin opened his hand and shrugged his shoulders, this is the method he came up with. Since through resources, family background, etc., he can't attract the ship's mother to sign a contract with him, so he can only start from other aspects. Of course, he didn't know how shocking the ridicule was to Princess Sissi.
"What else do you know? Who are you? ”
"Hey! Great Duchess Elizabeth, it is your turn to answer the questions. ”
Although she was very excited, Princess Sissi still forced herself to calm down: "It's very simple, because of the core." ”
"Core?"
Hum! Finally there's something you don't know: "Yes, core, each ship has its own different core." Why do you think the ship's mother can control the entire hull by one person? ”
"Through the core?"
"Yes."
Xu Zhonglin frowned: "It's all combat, is there a difference?" ”
"Haha, there's a big difference. Destroyers and cruisers are the two most similar cores, through which ships can carry out a variety of tasks such as shelling, submarine reconnaissance, mine-laying, lightning strike, air defense, search, etc. But what about aircraft carriers? The core of the aircraft carrier cannot carry out such tasks as artillery bombardment, submarine reconnaissance, mine-laying, and lightning strikes. Got it? ”
"Oh, the software is different, I see. But you also say that destroyers are about the same as cruisers. ”
"That's another area, damage management."
"Damage management?"
"Yes, the hull is so big, the armor is really heavy steel plates, the cruiser core has a stronger control over steel, of course the strongest is the battleship, but the destroyer core is very weak for these controls, and can only operate very light armor."
At this time, Xu Zhonglin solved a lot of doubts, to put it simply, the sapper is a Samsung mobile phone, and Princess Sissi is a crazy mobile phone. The basic functions are similar, but the software systems are very different.
So he held out a finger and asked with some expectation, "Suppose I transform your hull into a battlecruiser like Hood, will you be able to exert the power that the hull should have?" ”
Princess Sissi unconsciously straightened her chest, and her snow-white neck was raised: "Of course you can!" The cruiser core is the most comprehensive of all the cores, and what I just said is only for the average ship of the same position, and as a prototype ship, it is normal for me to be competent for these. ”
"The last question, why can I only sign a contract with the two shipwives with this pocket watch?"
At this time, Princess Sissi changed her tone to a serious tone: "This question, our prototype ship mother is not clear, this involves many questions, such as, why does the Admiral's lifespan become much longer than that of normal humans, and why is there such a thing as telepathy?" Why can't the ship's mother go against the admiral's coercive will? We just have an unverifiable guess about the strength of the soul. ”
"A lot of lifespan? How many? Can you live forever? "The rest of Xu Zhonglin doesn't care anymore, as a human being, the most urgent idea is, of course, immortality.
But to his disappointment, Princess Sisi shook her head: "I don't know. ”
"What?!"
"Because, the eldest admiral only lived to be one hundred and twenty years old."
"And then?"
"Killed in battle!"
This answer silenced both sides, yes, the threat of the deep sea is too great.
After a long time, Xu Zhonglin took a deep breath: "What does soul strength mean?" ”
"Not sure. Because all the machines used in the contract were captured by us from the deep sea, including the resource card making machine and the hull modification machine. We only know how to use these at the moment, and we don't know how they work. But one thing is certain, the strength of the admiral's soul is not enough, and it is impossible to sign a contract with the ship's mother, and the general situation is to sign one first, and the other can only be signed after half a year. Moreover, the tonnage of the core of the ship mother that was signed later cannot be more than that of the previous admiral. At first, the new Admiral could only sign a core of less than 5,000 tons, etc. These will naturally feel when you have your own ship. ”
"Then how do I sign up for two?"
"The Contract Machine spends resources to increase the strength of the Admiral's soul, which we presum. We don't know what the hazard is, but it's speculated that the Admiral's lifespan has decreased. ”
"In other words, as long as there are enough resources, I can sign a contract with the ship mother indefinitely?" Xu Zhonglin's eyes lit up. Isn't the greatest dream or ambition of the traverser to conquer the world? While conquering the world, there is a bit of a collecting fetish.,It's best to collect all the ship girls to satisfy your little hobbies.。
"Theoretically, yes, but it's more likely that your soul will break down and die."
Broken dreams!
