002 Target Leyte Bay
These cute little creatures are called "goblins", and they are mysterious creatures made of chaotic energy that accompany the Admiral system. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info don't look at them very cute, but they are the indispensable helpers of the Admiral, and the logistics backbone of the entire town guard.
The number and ability of goblins are linked to the admiral's mental power, although Roy's town guard mansion is dismal, but his mental power is very good, so the goblins under his command are also more capable than other town guard mansions.
It's just that in the past, the elves just followed the orders of the Admiral and wasted resources, but this time, Roy had to do something meaningful.
The elves were all carrying scrapped equipment. In the past, Mr. Admiral spent a lot of resources to develop high-end equipment such as 46CM triple naval guns, 16-inch MK7 naval guns, fumo25 radars, F6F Hellcat fighters, etc., but all of them were used to carry out crazy transformations of violent objects, and in the end only a large number of waste products were left.
Roy picks up an F6F Hellcat fighter that has been completely broken and incapacitated, and then activates his special ability.
The special ability of "metal manipulation" allows Roy to freely change the structure and properties of metal at the atomic level. It's just that the first time he used this ability, it took him fifteen minutes to dismantle a ten-centimeter-long ship-specific fighter, and his brain even had a little dizziness.
However, looking at the pile of metal pieces that the fighter jet at his feet was dismantled and reduced by him, Roy felt that his efforts were worth it.
20 fuel, 60 ammunition, 10 steel, 110 aluminum, is the resource obtained after decomposing and reducing the fighter.
The concept of the resources needed by the shipwives in this world is very different from what Roy knows.
For example, ammunition, although it looks like a pocket shell, in fact there is no gunpowder or warhead, but a special chaotic energy storage device, like a battery, which can provide the necessary energy for all the weapons of the ship's mother, including naval guns, torpedoes, aerial bombs, etc.
In this world, all the technologies that humans use to fight the deep sea originate from the mysterious "chaotic energy", which is completely different from the scientific knowledge that Roy has learned since childhood.
However, he is an engineer and prefers to solve practical problems with his own hands rather than studying esoteric scientific theories.
AFTER RESTING FOR A WHILE, HE BEGAN TO DISASSEMBLE A 46CM NAVAL GUN THAT HAD BEEN CONVERTED INTO A SIX-PACK BY THE DEVIL. Although it seems that the barrel has doubled and the firepower has been doubled, due to the complex mechanical structure, as well as the vibration and muzzle storm problems when firing the gun, this ship gun is still useless and is a pile of scrap metal. However, to Roy's relief, after dismantling the ship's gun, he had a resource of a full 600 steel and 500 ammo!
Roy is constantly dismantling all kinds of discarded equipment. The more he used it, the more he realized the hardness of his abilities. Those discarded equipment can be decomposed into raw metal materials in a state of zero waste!
Any engineering material will be lost during processing. This is dictated by the fundamental laws of physics. But once again, Roy's common sense was overturned.
Roy was delighted. Because this means that the "multiverse intelligence complex" that gives itself this ability is indeed a high-dimensional existence far beyond human cognition. Then there is hope for a cure for a terminal disease that cannot be cured by the medical level in the middle of the 21st century.
Roy was so motivated that he spent the night dismantling discarded equipment.
When the South Pacific sun reached the town guard from the distant sea level, Roy did all the work, obtaining a total of 2,000 fuel, 2,000 ammunition, 2,400 steel, and 1,200 aluminum.
This is already a lot of resources, enough for several ship builds. However, Roy had other plans, and was not prepared to throw these resources into the builder casually.
Returning to his dormitory with a tired face, Roy found the secretary ship, Miss Cong Yun, serving a hot breakfast to the table. Although it is just a simple umeboshi rice ball and kelp soup, it is still a rare delicacy for Roy who stays up late at work.
"Stupid Admiral, you've stayed up all night tossing around all that tattered gear again?"
Although he put on a look of disgust, Cong Yun still helped Luo Yi take off his military jacket and hang it on the hanger.
"Don't worry, I've changed my mind and won't mess around anymore. It took me one night to dismantle all the discarded equipment and recycle some resources. ”
"Really, let's hurry up and use the resources to build, so that we can build a passable fleet before the expedition arrives." Cong Yun rarely showed a hint of joy, "I have to take care of you, the admiral of waste wood, and I also have to take care of the town guard, and I can't leave behind in training, it's really tiring, and if I have a companion to share the work, it can be much easier." ”
"Well, I'm not going to build it for a while, I use those resources for other purposes."
Hearing Luo Yi's words, the smile on Cong Yun's face suddenly disappeared.
Although the angry secretary Miss Ship is also cute, Roy thinks it is better to explain it so that he doesn't have to lose lunch.
Investing resources in the builder to build a ship does not mean that there is an extra ship girl under the command of the Admiral.
Because the identity of each "ship girl" is unique.
So far, all ship girls in this world have a power called "ship soul" in their bodies. This power comes from the old warships that were sunk in the Great War, or disintegrated and decommissioned after the war.
When the Admiral builds a set of ship suits, the corresponding ship spirit will awaken in the body of a girl in this world. And when that girl was equipped with her own ship uniform, she officially became a ship girl.
So, Roy had to build a ship that no other Admiral had in order to get a new Shipwive.
And now there are more than 600 ships in service in the entire international alliance navy, and if you want to build a new ship, it is definitely a low-probability event that requires a large amount of resources.
To get a new shipwive, even if it's just a destroyer, you'll need at least 10,000 resources. The resources recovered from Roy's dismantling equipment are far from enough. Moreover, he has only one shipwive, Cong Yun, and he can't even form the most basic anti-submarine patrol fleet, and he can't sign patrol and escort contracts with local governments or private enterprises to earn extra resources.
“…… Therefore, the thousands of resources in my hands are the last capital for us to turn over, and we must not invest in the construction of such pure gambling activities. ”
After listening to Luo Yi's explanation, Miss Secretary Ship's face softened: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Roy took out the drawings he had made in the morning.
"What is this?" Cong Yun looked at the three views of the machinery drawn by Luo Yi, and looked puzzled.
"This is a one-man submersible I designed. It has a range of 4,000 kilometers and is capable of diving to a depth of 2,000 meters, equipped with a robotic arm and an underwater cutter. ”
Although Luo Yi didn't tinker with those ship's special equipment, building such a submersible was still an unscrupulous behavior in Cong Yun's eyes.
"Stupid Admiral, I thought you had reformed, but I didn't expect to be addicted to such useless things!"
Roy didn't explain much. He took out a chart and spread it out on the dining table.
"Cong Yun, do you know where this is?" Roy pointed to the location on the map.
"The Philippines." Cong Yun didn't have a good airway. She didn't know what the meaning of her own admiral suddenly mentioning this area more than a thousand kilometers away from the town guard mansion was.
Roy explained unhurriedly, "Palau Place, where our town guard is located, is located in the South Pacific region. To the east, there is the Truk Anchor of the deep-sea defense front. To the west, there are Tawi Tawi and Brunei anchorages guarding the South Seas route. To the south, there is Rabaul Place, which defends Australia. Arguably, our Palau anchorage is located in the most irrelevant sea area. The disadvantage is that it is not taken seriously by the Admiralty and very few resources are allocated each year. The advantage is that the sea area within a radius of 800 kilometers is very safe, and there are few deep-sea habitat ships. So I flew the submersible to the Philippines with very little risk. ”
"You built this submersible to go to the Philippines?"
"Of course!" Roy snapped his fingers and smiled, "Now for a history lesson." Cong Yun, do you know that during the Great War in the old times, there was a naval battle in the waters near the Philippines in which the total tonnage of the ships of the two sides exceeded two million tons, the largest naval battle in the world? ”
Miss Ship, the secretary who graduated from school with honors, shook her head ignorantly for the first time.
Roy said "sure enough."
The world has gone through two world wars in the same historical direction as the earth. It's just that with the invasion of the deep sea, the entire human civilization is on the verge of crisis, and many historical documents have been lost.
Nowadays, only some old scholars who specialize in history know about the earth-shattering naval battles of the old era.
However, as a military and history buff, Roy remembers every detail of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. He knew that in that sea area, there were many warships sleeping, including even one of the largest battleships in human history, the second ship of the Yamato-class Musashi!
By dismantling and recovering these shipwrecks and using their special abilities to dismantle them, Roy will be able to obtain a large amount of resources!
"Although there are still some details to be discussed, this is the first time that you have seriously drawn up a plan, instead of making a fool of yourself and delusionally thinking about developing a decisive weapon that kills the deep sea in seconds." Cong Yun nodded, "You wait for me first!" ”
Soon, the delicate secretary ship lady carried a large wooden box and returned to the admiral's living room.
Rumble!
Cong Yun put down the wooden box, causing the floor to shake slightly.
Although the ship girl looks like an ordinary girl on the outside, because of the awakening of the ship soul in her body, her physical fitness is more than five times that of ordinary humans.
Luo Yi opened the box weighing 500 kilograms and found that there were four kinds of resources neatly stacked inside, with a total of about two thousand.
Roy thought about it and understood it at once.
In the past, he, the admiral, squandered resources all day long, and Cong Yun, as a secretary ship, certainly wouldn't let him mess around, and secretly withheld some resources allocated by the Admiralty. Otherwise, where would Cong Yun get the fuel and ammunition for daily training?
When Luo Yi operated the Admiral System last night, he found that Cong Yun's level had reached 69, and he was still close to being able to carry out a second transformation. If all the resources were squandered by Roy, how could Cong Yun have such a high level of cultivation?
